<p>The Jay Em Historic District comprises the abandoned center of the village of Jay Em, Wyoming. The town was planned and established by Lake Harris between 1912 and 1915 as a service town supporting ranchers in the surrounding area. The place was recognized as a town in 1915 when a post office was established. Tours of the site are available by appointment.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Jay Em is located on the old Texas Trail, running north–south through Goshen County, and featured the last watering hole before reaching Lusk. The land around the watering hole was claimed by Jim Moore in the 1860s. By 1869, Moore had the second largest cattle ranch in the Wyoming Territory, under the brand "J Rolling M", leading to the naming of a small drainage "Jay Em Creek". Moore died in 1875, but his brand outlived him. In 1905, Silas Harris and his three sons took over the Jay Em Cattle Company. One of his sons, Lake Harris, established a post office in the Jay Em Ranch&#39;s bunkhouse, bringing the mail from Rawhide Buttes. The Harris family also established a general store on the ranch.</p><br>
<p>Lake Harris filed a homestead claim in 1912 on Rawhide Creek, where he planned and built a small town. He first built his own house, then a feed store, which housed the post office from 1915. The Harris general store moved into Jay Em in 1918, and Harris built a lumber and general supply store shortly after. A newspaper, the weekly Jay Em Sentinel and Fort Laramie News (circulation 300), inevitably edited by Lake Harris, ran from 1917 to 1921. The Farmers State Bank was built in Jay Em in 1920. The town continued through the 1920s and 1930s as a regional center for commerce in northern Goshen County. In 1935, Lake Harris established the Jay Em Stone Company, making tombstones and building products from stone quarried around the Rawhide Buttes. After the 1930s, Jay Em declined as the automobile made it easier for local residents to travel to larger towns. The general store lasted until the late 1970s. Lake Harris died in 1983 at the age of 96. The few remaining residents of Jay Em have moved to more modern accommodations scattered around the edge of town, leaving the center vacant.</p><br>

<p>Tower on the Maumee  is a skyscraper at 200 North Saint Clair Street in Toledo, Ohio. Constructed in 1969, the 400 ft building is an example of the international style of architecture. In 2012, the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places under the name of "Riverview".</p><br>
<p>It was designed as the world headquarters for the Toledo manufacturer Owens-Corning Fiberglass Company, which occupied the building for 37 years until moving elsewhere in downtown Toledo in 1996. The building has since been vacant. In October 2016, the Eyde Company renamed the building Tower on the Maumee and announced plans to transform the top floors into luxury apartments and renovate the commercial office space on the lower floors.</p><br>
<h2>Facts</h2><br>
<p>Finished: 1969</p><br>
<p>Floors: 30</p><br>
<p>Exterior materials: glass, concrete, aluminum</p><br>
<p>Architect: Harrison & Abramovitz</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Riverview One Corp., the developer of the project, expected construction to cost between $12 million and $18 million. The tower was designed by architects Harrison & Abramovitz of New York and the general contractor was Turner Construction of New York.</p><br>
<p>The Fort Meigs Hotel, a 10-story building constructed in 1927, occupied the downtown Toledo site at 200 North Saint Clair Street until 1966 when it and other structures were demolished in preparation for the Riverview project.</p><br>
<p>Groundbreaking for Fiberglas Tower was held on May 1, 1967. Leadership of the Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corp. announced at the groundbreaking that they planned to occupy the tower. The unusual spelling of its original name (Fiberglas instead of Fiberglass) comes from Owens-Corning&#39;s use of Fiberglas as the trademark name of its glass fiber products, as the generic name fiberglass could not be restricted to use as a trademark.</p><br>
<p>Topping out of the tower occurred on April 5, 1968.</p><br>
<p>Owens-Corning occupied nearly all of the Fiberglas Tower when it opened in 1969. In 1993, Owens-Corning announced plans to vacate the Fiberglas Tower. The tower remained vacant for more than twenty years after the O-C departure in 1996. Asbestos, which was partially responsible for OC&#39;s departure, was removed in 2012.</p><br>
<p>In 2017, Eyde announced that renovations were partially complete and that a new tenant would move in in 2018.</p><br>
<p>El Pino Lake is a lake in Guatemala. It is located 30 km south-southeast of Guatemala City, in the municipality of Barberena in the Santa Rosa Department. The lake has a surface area of 0.72 km² and a maximum depth of 18 m. The lake waters are used for subsistence fishing, sport fishing, and swimming.</p><br>
<h2>Laguna El Pino National Park</h2><br>
<p>In 1955 the lake, and a minor part of the lake shores, were designated a national park. The park, including the lake, covers an area of 0.73 km² and is managed by the National Forestry Institute (INAB) in conjunction with representatives of the local population. 20% of the lake shores are government property and 80% is privately owned.</p><br>
<p>Vegetation consists mainly of floating beds of Water Hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes), submergent beds of Waterweed (Elodea canadensis), and marshy areas with Spikerushes (Eleocharis elegans) and Giant Bulrush (Scirpus californicus). The lake shores have some wooded areas with Casuarina species, Cupressus lusitanica, Inga xalapensis and Pinus species. The surrounding area has coffee plantations.</p><br>
<p>Species of waterfowl breeding in the lake area include Pied-billed Grebe (Podilymbus podiceps), Egret (Bubulcus ibis), Waterhen (Gallinula galeata), American Coot (Fulica americana) and Northern Jacana (Jacana spinosa).</p><br>
<p>Marlsgate Plantation, also known as the William P. Dortch House or the Dortch Plantation, is located on Bearskin Lake near Scott, Arkansas. The main plantation residence was built in 1904; it, along with a historically significant portion of the plantation, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. The NRHP listing was increased in 1979 to cover additional building dating from 1888.</p><br>
<p>Marlsgate Plantation was built by Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Dortch on the site of their first home which was built in 1888. Marlsgate was designed by the renowned Arkansas architect Charles Thompson and was the home of four generations of the Dortch family. The original property totaling 1,600 acres was a wedding gift to Mr. and Mrs. Dortch by Mrs. Dortch&#39;s parents, Thomas and Elizabeth Steele, who operated Lynnwood Plantation south of Scott beginning in 1850. Marlsgate eventually expanded to over 7,000 acres with cotton, rice, corn and soy beans under cultivation. Upon the death of her husband Mrs. Dortch divided the property equally among her five sons. Their descendants continue to farm portions of the property today.</p><br>
<p>Described as one of the finest private residences in the State of Arkansas, Marlsgate&#39;s Neoclassical, Greek Revival design features 30 rooms in a total of eleven thousand square feet of living space. On the front portico facing Bearskin Lake doric columns rise over forty feet in height. The interior features a dramatic double staircase, original beveled glass windows, sliding oak pocket doors, handcrafted woodwork and Carrara marble fireplaces.</p><br>
<p>The plantation complex includes four distinct gardens designed by the renowned Arkansas garden designer P. Allen Smith. Several outbuildings date to the original 1888 farmstead including the carriage house, a well house, a smoke house, stable house, and a pole barn, all of which are included in the National Register designation. The guest house at Marlsgste is modeled on Farmington Historic Home built in Louisville, Kentucky in 1812 and designed by Thomas Jefferson.</p><br>
<p>Marlsgate is one of only two historic plantation homes located in Arkansas listed on the National Register and meticulously preserved and restored to their original condition (the other being Lakeport Plantation in Lake Village, Arkansas). Marlsgate is the only plantation home in the state which is fully furnished in the antebellum period style and available for tours and private events. It is located 14 miles from downtown Little Rock.</p><br>
<p>Historic Significance The Arkansas Delta represents a cross section of American history illustrating how people inhabited the land and sustained themselves from early frontier days after the Louisiana Purchase to the changing economies and cultures of 19th and 20th century America.</p><br>
<p>In that context, Marlsgate - and the family that lived there - is a reflection of the history of the Delta region and the rise, fall and rebirth of the American South during a period of nearly two centuries. Marlsgate also represents the historic plantation as the economic and social driver which shaped much of the agricultural enterprise of the Delta and the state of Arkansas.</p><br>
<p>Marlsgate is also one of the finest examples of a residential design by Arkansas leading architect of the 20th century, Charles Thompson. The firm he founded, Cromwell Architects and Engineers in Little Rock, continues to thrive as a legacy to Thompson who died in 1959. Thompsons original architectural plans and drawings of Marlsgate are a part of the family archives and are on exhibit there.</p><br>
<p>From an interpretation and educational standpoint, the lives lived at Marlsgate reflect sub-themes of the larger historical trends taking place in the 19th and 20th centuries including slavery, sharecropping and tenant farming and the interaction between land owner and land worker. The collection of antique furnishings, fine art, and utilitarian objects at Marlsgate provides a unique set of museum quality artifacts and educational tools which provide an authentic learning experience for visitors.</p><br>
<p>Lake Habitat and Native American Sites</p><br>
<p>In addition to the important historic buildings and gardens at Marlsgate, the property is situated on Bearksin Lake, a pristine oxbow lake that was originally a channel of the Arkansas River. Located along the Mississippi Flyway, the lake wildlife habitat features a broad range of wildlife including mirgratory waterfowl, a nesting pair of bald eagles and freshwater fish.</p><br>
<p>The banks of Bearskin Lake also served as an ideal camping ground for Arkansas&#39; Native American cultures, most notably the Plum Bayou Culture (A.D. 650 to 1050) known for constructing Toltec Mounds near Scott. A National Historic Landmark and Arkansas state park, the Toltec Mounds Archeological State Park comprises one of the largest and most impressive archeological sites in the Lower Mississippi River Valley and features the tallest mounds in Arkansas. The Arkansas Archeological Survey operates the Toltec Research Station on site. Artifacts collected from the surface of Native American sites by Dortch and Burrow family members were donated to the Toltec museum in the 1970s and are on display there.</p><br>
<p>Today Marlsgate is a private residence owned by David P. Garner, a prominent Little Rock businessman, caterer, interior designer and collector who acquired the property from the Dortch family in 1985. Mr. Garner hosts (by appointment) weddings, tour groups, private parties, corporate meetings and various performances throughout the year. The property has been featured in four movies and most recently in the documentary Plantation Homes of Arkansas, A Special Edition of Exploring Arkansas broadcast on Arkansas Educational Television Network in 2013 and 2014.</p><br>
<p>Heritage Sites in the Scott Community</p><br>
<p>In addition to Toltec Mounds Archeological Park, visitors to the Scott community can also visit the Plantation Agriculture Museum operated by Arkansas State Parks and dedicated to the agricultural history of the state. The historic Dortch cotton gin is part of the museum exhibit.</p><br>
<p>In addition, visitors can tour a wide range of historic plantation and farming buildings at the Scott Plantation Settlement where the original 1888 Dortch home from Marslgate is preserved, along with the Marlsgate commissary, a corn crib and other historic structures donated by the family. The settlement also includes a Cotton Belt railroad depot (the visitor center), a blacksmith shop, a smoke house, tenant houses and a dogtrot log house.</p><br>

<p>The Hale Avenue Historic District encompasses a significant portion of the central business district of Osceola, Arkansas. It extends for five blocks along Hale Avenue, between Ash and Maple Streets, and includes a few buildings on adjacent streets. The focal point of the district is the Mississippi County Courthouse, and the block of buildings opposite it on Hale Avenue. Although Osceola was founded in 1875, it was relocated beginning in 1900 to be closer to the railroad, with Hale Avenue as the major east-west route. This began a period of growth in the city which continued through much of the 1920s. Most of buildings on these blocks of Hale Avenue result from this time, and a number of those built later were built in an architecturally sympathetic manner.</p><br>
<p>When first listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the district included just six buildings on the 200 block of West Hale Avenue. This was expanded to include three buildings on the 100 block of West Hale, and then enlarged to its present size in 2008. This expanded district includes six properties that were individually listed.</p><br>
<p>Walton Castle is a 17th Century, Grade II listed castle set upon a hill in Clevedon, North Somerset, England, on the site of an earlier Iron Age hill fort.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Domesday Book records the site as belonging to "Gunni The Dane", however the structure that occupies the site was built sometime between 1615 and 1620 by John Poulett, 1st Baron Poulett. The castle was designed as a hunting lodge for Lord Poulett, a Somerset MP. The English Civil War saw the decline of Poulett&#39;s fortunes, and by 1791 the castle was derelict and being used as a dairy by a local farmer.</p><br>
<p>In the early 19th century, the manor of Walton in Gordano, including Walton Castle was bought by Philip John Miles who also held properties and extensive estates elsewhere including Kings Weston House, Leigh Court, Cardigan Priory and Underdown in Ledbury, Herefordshire, whence his family had originally come.</p><br>
<p>The castle passed through the Miles family by descent and in 1975, the castle&#39;s owner, Sir William Miles, the 6th Baronet, offered to give the ruin to the public if some money could be found to preserve it. The estimate for this rose from £6,000 to £46,000 and the plan fell through, as did a plan to set up a trust.</p><br>
<h2>Restoration</h2><br>
<p>In 1979, Sir William Miles&#39;s daughter and his son-in-law, Martin Sessions-Hodge, spent £100,000 and over a year restoring the ruin into a five-bedroom, three-bathroom house.</p><br>
<p>In 1984 they sold it to Rai and Margarita Hamilton, a financier and record studio owner respectively. The couple made further alterations to the castle, though some of these had to be reinstated due to problems with unauthorised removal of crenellations on a listed building. Margarita regularly hosted charity events at the castle into the late 1990s, but in 1996 the couple separated. After the council formally warned Margarita over the number of noise abatement complaints, in 2013 she sold her share of the castle for £1.5M to Walton Properties Ltd., a Guernsey company in which her estranged husband has a minority interest. She moved out of the property supposedly on the condition that she could still arrange events at the castle. However no mention of any such arrangement is contained in the Purchase & Sale Contract and it appears that any such arrangement would have been a private agreement between Margarita Hamilton and her ex-husband and has no binding effect on the new owners. Margarita Hamilton commenced proceedings in the Bristol High COurt in an attempt to obtain reparation for her perceived injustice. In 2009 comedian Bill Bailey was guest of honour at an event designed to raise funds for the Teenage Cancer Trust.</p><br>
<p>Lakkoi , commonly spelled Lakki on road signs and maps, is a village on the Greek island of Crete in the foothills of the Lefka Ori . The village is situated on the road between Chania and the plateau of Omalos which leads to the Samaria Gorge.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Lakkoi is 450 metres high, below the White Mountains which rise another 1,000 metres to the south. Most of the houses cling to steep slopes covered in olive and chestnut trees, reached through narrow roads or tracks that run down from the main square.</p><br>
<p>The climate is cool in winter, with occasional snow, wet in spring, hot and dry in the summer. In the unusually dry summer of 2007, major brush fires broke out twice, burning about 2,000 acre and threatening the village itself.</p><br>
<h2>Economy</h2><br>
<p>Traditionally the villagers have cultivated olives and raised goats, sheep and chickens. With limited work opportunities, the population has declined from a peak of around 2,000 to 270 (2011 census). There are signs of growth as houses are being purchased and renovated by citizens of other European Union countries seeking low-cost retirement or vacation homes.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first historical mention of the village dates from 1263, when the Lakkoi chieftain Pentachtenis took part in a revolt against the Venetians. In a later revolt in 1570 the chieftain George Mousouris became Secretary General of the rebel forces, based in the nearby village of Meskla.</p><br>
<p>After the Ottoman conquest of the island, the people of Lakkoi were involved in periodic revolts, notably the revolt of 1821-1828 during the Greek War of Independence, where an Ottoman army of 5,000 men led by Latif Pasha of Chania was routed in a pitched battle at Lakki. In the great rebellion of 1866-1869 Katerina Stamataki of Lakkoi was a distinguished woman revolutionary.</p><br>
<p>During the Battle of Crete in May 1941 and the days that followed, four hundred and eighty five men and women resisted the German occupiers, and sixty eight Lakkoiotes lost their lives in the fight for the freedom of Greece.</p><br>

<p>The Cass Farm MPS is a US multiple property submission to the National Register of Historic Places which was approved on December 1, 1997. The structures included are all located in Midtown, in the Cass Farm area in Detroit, Michigan, USA. The Cass Farm area is defined as occupying the space between Woodward Avenue on the east, the Lodge Freeway on the west, Warren Avenue on the north, and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard on the south.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>1800 - 1870</h3><br>
<p>The Cass Farm area spans portions of four original plattings. These include the rear portions of three original ribbon farms (the Cass Farm, the Jones/Crane Farm, and the Forsyth Farm), as well as a section of the Park Lots between Woodward and Cass.</p><br>
<p>The Park Lots were originally platted after the disastrous 1805 fire in Detroit. After the fire, the United States Congress authorized the platting of a new village at Detroit. Land titles were granted to settle remaining uncertainty over the ownership of some parcels, which was in part due to the then fairly recent departure of British colonial forces. During this platting, the land on both sides of the main thoroughfare, Woodward Avenue, was set aside, with congress authorizing the platting of the Park Lots. Development of the area, however, only started in the 1860s.</p><br>
<p>Cass Farm ran between what is now Cass Avenue and Third Avenue. In 1816, Lewis Cass purchased the ribbon farm. The property was gradually developed over the years, with the sections closest to the river being developed first. By the time Cass died in 1866, a few of the blocks north of Martin Luther King Boulevard had just been platted. Cass&#39;s children continued to plat the area after his death.</p><br>
<p>The Jones/Crane Farm was located between what is now Third Avenue and the alley east of Fourth Street. De Garmo Jones, onetime mayor of Detroit, received the property in 1823. The rear portion of the ribbon farm changed owners multiple times until Flavius JB Crane purchased it in 1854, when he began platting it.</p><br>
<p>The Forsythe Farm was located between what is now Fourth Street and the Lodge Freeway. John Forsythe purchased the property in 1829; it was later subdivided multiple times, with various owners eventually platting the property.</p><br>
<p>Development of the area was relatively slow. In the early part of the 19th century, residential growth in Detroit occurred primarily east and west of Woodward, along Fort Street and Jefferson Avenue; the areas near Cass Farm were still predominantly rural in nature. Urban development of the area did not really begin until 1870, when the population of Detroit was nearly 80,000. Streetcar lines established in the 1860s allowed residents to more conveniently travel from the Cass Farm area to downtown.</p><br>
<h3>1870 - 1910</h3><br>
<p>The West Canfield Historic District, platted in 1871, was one of the first recorded subdivisions in the area. The district features large and expensive lots, and many prominent Detroiters settled on the block. A severe depression slowed development, but it picked up again in the late 1870s. The period from 1880-1895 brought a boom in the construction of elegant single-family and duplex homes in the Cass Farm area. The lots on Woodward were the most expensive and featured the most opulent homes; the lots immediately off the main street were soon filled with the homes of Detroit&#39;s upper class. School and religious buildings were also constructed in the area.</p><br>
<p>As Detroit grew, the demand for apartment housing also grew; beginning in 1895, the construction in the Cass Farm area began to focus more on small apartment buildings. This was particularly true in the last portion of the district to be developed, the section south of Warren between Cass and Third. Here a number of small-scale apartment buildings were constructed around the turn of the 20th century.</p><br>
<h3>1910 - 1940</h3><br>
<p>As the city continued to expand, the character of the neighborhood changed. Even before World War I, the congestion along Woodward precipitated a change from upper-class housing to commercial ventures. The construction of Orchestra Hall heralded a City Beautiful movement that turned much of the area into public-oriented space.</p><br>
<p>The rise of the automobile also changed the area. Cass Farm&#39;s proximity to the automotive plants in the Milwaukee Junction area made it ideal for housing auto workers. During the 1910s and 1920s, larger apartment buildings were constructed in the area, and many remaining single-family homes were converted into boardinghouses. Commercial usage also increased in the area, particularly in automotive-related sectors: showrooms, service stations, and part supply businesses.</p><br>
<h3>1930 - onward</h3><br>
<p>The Great Depression heralded the beginning of a long decline for the Cass Farm area. Newly constructed buildings fell into foreclosure, and many of the formerly well-paid auto workers living in the area were out of work. By the time the industrial recovery from World War II stimulated the economy, industry had reloced to the suburbs, and the economic recovery for the most part passed the area by.</p><br>
<p>In the 1950s, widespread demolition of hoses and businesses began, a practice that extended into the 1980s. Wayne State University also began to have more influence in the area, rehabilitating old buildings and building new ones. As the focus shifted to urban rehabilitation in the 1990s, more structures in the area have been refurbished, by Wayne State, other public groups, and by private parties.</p><br>
<h2>Structures in the Cass Farm MPS</h2><br>
<p>There are twelve structures and districts in the Cass Farm MPS; these are shown below. The structures are from all periods of development of the area.</p><br>
<p>These structures represent the range of construction in the Cass Farm area. The earliest structures are in the West Canfield Historic District boundary increase; these structures include both a Victorian private home and two Victorian commercial structures, among the earliest in the neighborhood. The Robert M. and Matilda (Kitch) Grindley House (now unfortunately demolished) was another 19th century single-family home, dating from the time when the Cass Farm area was still primarily upscale residential.</p><br>
<p>The Warren-Prentis Historic District is primarily a mix of early private homes and small apartment buildings that moved into the neighborhood around the turn of the 20th century. Around the same time, the Sts. Peter and Paul Academy was built to serve the growing population of the neighborhood.</p><br>
<p>The Willis-Selden Historic District primarily contains somewhat later structures, demonstrating the mix of small apartments and the commercial buildings that entered the district as the automobile industry grew importance. Another commercial building is the Graybar Electric Company Building. Near the same time, increasing infrastructure requirements made the Detroit Edison Company Willis Avenue Station and the Detroit-Columbia Central Office Building necessary for the neighborhood.</p><br>
<p>Finally, the Cass-Davenport Historic District shows a mix of small apartment buildings and the later, larger apartment buildings that were built in the 1920s, as space in the city became more valuable. Another large apartment building, the Hotel Stevenson, is also included in the MPS, as is the League of Catholic Women Building, built to house the influx of young unmarried women coming to the city. The Chapel of St. Theresa-the Little Flower was also built about this time.</p><br>
<p>Old Greenwood Cemetery is a historic cemetery located at Greenwood, Greenwood County, South Carolina. Established around the year 1860, the Old Greenwood Cemetery is a historic burial place in the said city. It is significant because of being the oldest cemetery in the area. This being said, it has also become the resting place for many prominent figures in the locale.</p><br>
<p>The Old Greenwood Cemetery was built as a graveyard for the old Main Street Methodist Church. It was laid out in the original site of the said church with an acre and a half of land area. It contains about 350 graves of pioneers and locals.</p><br>
<p>The descendants of the people buried on the Old Greenwood Cemetery mostly take responsibility in caring for the site. They work hard to keep vandals away and maintain the site the best that they can.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<p>Greenwood Cemetery is a historic cemetery in Hillsdale, Missouri.</p><br>
<p>Greenwood Cemetery was the first non-denominational commercial cemetery for African-Americans in the St. Louis area. Established in 1874 by Herman Krueger, Greenwood has approximately 6,000 marked graves but is thought to contain up to 50,000 burials. In 1890 the cemetery was sold to Krueger’s son-in-law, Adolph Foelsch; the Foelsch family owned and operated the cemetery, including manufacturing concrete tombstones, until 1981. Those buried at Greenwood include former slaves, war veterans, members of fraternal organizations, artists, laborers and middle class African-Americans, as well as a number of famous and prominent African-Americans from St. Louis, including Dred Scott’s wife Harriet Robinson Scott, folk hero Lee Shelton (“Stagger” Lee), musician Walter Davis and civil rights leader Charlton Tandy. Many of the people buried at Greenwood were originally from southern states and had participated in the Great Migration north. Funerals were numerous in Greenwood in the mid-twentieth century, but with desegregation, the cemetery saw a decline in use. In the 1980s it began to go derelict. It permanently closed in the 1990s and continued to stand abandoned for most of a decade. In 1999, the nonprofit group Friends of Greenwood Cemetery, Inc. was formed for the purpose of restoring and preserving the site as a historic park. Eventually the group gained ownership of the cemetery.</p><br>
<p>Greenwood was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004</p><br>

<p>Slate Hill Burying Ground  is a historic cemetery in Lower Makefield Township, Pennsylvania, with most of its graves dating to 18th century Quaker settlers. It is located at Yardley-Morrisville Road and Mahlon Drive.</p><br>
<p>Established in 1690, it is probably the oldest burial ground in Bucks County. The earliest gravestone is dated 1698, but unmarked graves may be even earlier. The cemetery consists of three sections: the first was given in 1690 by Thomas Janney; the second given in 1721 by Abel Janney; and the last given in 1788 by Joshua Anderson. The Anderson grant created the first public cemetery in Lower Makefield Township. The two earlier sections are known as the Quaker section.</p><br>
<p>The Quaker section has 185 marked graves out of a total of 487, most pre-dating 1800. The public section has 96 marked graves including those of six free African Americans who served in the Union Army during the American Civil War.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>Tomahawk Lagoon is a twin-lobed lagoon, located at the western end of the Otago Peninsula within the city limits of Dunedin, New Zealand. It lies close to the southeastern edge of the city&#39;s main urban area, near the suburb of Ocean Grove, which lies close to its southern shore. This suburb was also known as Tomahawk until the 1930s The name is not a reference to the weapon, but rather possibly an anglicised form of the Māori words tomo haka, meaning "dance by a gravesite".</p><br>
<p>The lagoon, which is connected by a short stream to the Pacific Ocean, is noted for its bird life. Despite its name, it is never inundated with the sea, but is more of a shallow coastal lake, predominantly under 1.5 m in depth. The top lagoon (inner lobe) is a wildlife reserve. Tomahawk Lagoon is separated from the sea at low tide by Tomahawk Beach, which runs east from the Lagoons mouth for about 1 km. A smaller beach, Smaills Beach, lies further to the east, beyond which is the outcrop of Maori Head, 2 km from the lagoons mouth. A rocky reef and the small Bird Island lie close to the headland. To the west of the lagoons mouth is the prominent headland of Lawyer&#39;s Head, a major Dunedin landmark.</p><br>
<p>The outer lobe (the Bottom Lagoon) is the larger, being some 900 m in length and 300 m wide at its widest point. It is roughly a parallelogram in shape, and covers an area of close to 20 hectare. The Top Lagoon joins the Bottom Lagoon via a short stream in the middle of the latter&#39;s eastern shore. It is roughly triangular, being 700 m in length and 300 m in width, and covers an area of some 9.6 hectare. The total area of the lagoon is thus some 30 hectare.</p><br>
<p>The total catchment area of the lagoon is 466 hectare. Several small streams flow through the steep valleys which lie to the north and northeast. The largest of these is Lagoon Creek, which flows from near Arthur&#39;s Seat for some 1.5 km before feeding the Top Lagoon at its northeastern end. Owing to the pastoral nature of much of the surrounding land, nutrient runoff into the lake is frequently high, resulting in its often eutrophic nature.</p><br>
<p>Valle de Uco is a viticultural region southwest of Mendoza, in Argentina. Situated along the Tunuyán River, the Uco Valley is widely considered one of the top wine regions in Mendoza, and all of Argentina. The annual average temperature is 14 &deg;C and altitudes range from 900 - above sea level.</p><br>
<p>The combination of high elevation, alluvial soils, irrigation sourced from the Andes Mountains, a long growing season with over 250 sunny days a year, little rain and vast temperature differences between day and night are all conducive to growing quality wine grapes. These climate and geography elements come together to provide excellent fruit ripening and concentration, developing colors, aromas, flavors and textures resulting in wines that are deep in color, intense in aromas and rich in flavors. The Uco Valley figures prominently in the Argentina Wine Route for tourist visitors.</p><br>
<p>Traditionally, the varietals grown in this area are Sémillon and Malbec; together with Bonarda and Barbera in a smaller amount.</p><br>
<p>Lockesburg Waterworks are a water storage and distribution facility at the junction of Hickory and Azalea Streets in Lockesburg, Arkansas. The facility consists of a water tower and three water storage sheds, of which the tower was built in 1936 with funding assistance from the Public Works Administration, a Depression-era works project. The older shed was built in 1945, and the second was built in 1990. The tower is a metal structure with four legs supported and stabilized by cross bracing, with a metal tank at the top which is sheltered by a conical roof. The oldest shed is a modest square brick structure at the center of the complex, while the 1990 shed is located at the southwest corner of the property.</p><br>
<p>The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<p>Chestnut Ridge and Schellsburg Union Church and Cemetery is a historic church and cemetery in Bedford County, Pennsylvania. The church was built by members of the Reformed and Lutheran churches in 1806. It was used by both congregations until 1843, and then by the Reformed congregation until 1853. The first burial in the cemetery was in 1806, while the church was being constructed. Workmen who were roofing the church placed a child named Whetstone in an unmarked grave. Nevertheless the cemetery was not formally organized until 1860, and did not receive a deed to the land until 1897.</p><br>
<p>The church was originally built of logs and in 1881 covered with weatherboarding. The weatherboarding was removed in 1935, and the church was restored in the early 2000s.</p><br>
<p>The church and cemetery were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. The small town of Schellsburg, and the Schellsburg Historic District, which is also listed on the National Register, is about 1/4 mile to the east on USA 30.</p><br>

<p>Providence Quaker Cemetery and Chapel, also known as Providence Meeting House, is a historic chapel and cemetery located on Quaker Church Road about 2 miles southwest of Perryopolis, Fayette County, Pennsylvania. The cemetery was used by Quakers, but the chapel is not a Quaker structure. Quakers generally refer to a structure built for worship as a meeting house, rather than as a chapel or church.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>A meeting of the Religious Society of Friends was founded at the site in 1789, and served by a log meeting house until 1793 when a stone building was constructed. John Cope bought 15 acres for the use of the meeting in 1793.</p><br>
<p>There were many early Quaker settlers in this area of southwestern Pennsylvania with nine Quaker meetings founded within 15 miles of Brownsville, which is about 9 miles southwest of this site. Few of these early Quaker structures survive, but several cemeteries are intact.</p><br>
<p>The Quaker population in the area began to decline about 1830, caused by western migration, the "Great Separation" between Hicksite and Orthodox Quakers, and controversy surrounding Quakers during the abolition movement and the Civil War. Between 1850 and 1870 most Quaker meetings in the area were closed, with the Providence Meeting closed in 1870.</p><br>
<p>By 1895 the meeting house was a ruin standing in the middle of an active cemetery. Elma Cope Binns organized the rebuilding of the meeting house into a smaller chapel constructed from the stone of the original building. Fourteen acres of the meeting&#39;s land was sold, leaving one acre for the cemetery.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The chapel measures 20 feet by 30 feet. It is built in a simple vernacular style and the stone is roughly coursed. There is no steeple, but a fireplace and chimney were built at the east and west ends. The two windows on both the north and south sides are not glazed, but blocked by iron bars. No door is present in the doorway on the south side.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery contains approximately 500 burials. In the early Quaker tradition, most graves were unmarked. About 50 tombstones are currently standing. The graves generally date from approximately 1790 to 1870, when the meeting house closed, though modern tombstones date as late as 2003. An iron fence surrounds the cemetery, except for a 125-foot section of modern chain link fencing.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<p>Monongahela Cemetery is a historic cemetery in Monongahela City, Pennsylvania, established in 1863. Landscape architects Hare & Hare designed a portion of the property.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery now occupies 160 acres, but only about 100 acres are included in the National Register listing. John Chislett designed the original 32 acre plot in the rural cemetery tradition. About 60 acres were added in 1915 and designed in the lawn park style by Hare & Hare. The five acre St. Mary&#39;s Cemetery was opened c. 1900 and incorporated into the 1915 expansion.</p><br>

<p>The cemetery contains two Commonwealth war graves of World War II, a Flight Engineer of Royal Air Force Ferry Command and a Sapper of the Royal Canadian Engineers.</p><br>
<p>The Church of St Aldhelm and St Eadburgha in Broadway, Somerset, England dates from the 13th century, and has been designated by English Heritage as a grade I listed building.</p><br>
<p>The dedication is unusual. St Aldhelm (c. 639-25 May 709), was Abbot of Malmesbury Abbey, Bishop of Sherborne, Latin poet and Anglo-Saxon literature scholar, was born before the middle of the 7th century. St Eadburgha may be an alternative spelling of St Edburga an English saint from the 7th century. A daughter of King Penda of Mercia, Edburga was a nun for most of her life.</p><br>
<p>The church&#39;s isolated position away from the village is thought to be because of an outbreak of the plague.</p><br>
<p>The churchyard cross is also from the 13th century.</p><br>
<p>The church also still houses the original wooden bier used at funerals over a century ago.</p><br>
<p>Windsor Castle is a former plantation and now a public park in Smithfield, Virginia, United States. It is located in the Smithfield Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The plantation dates to a land grant of 1,450 acre by the King of England to Arthur Smith in 1637. Arthur Smith’s great grandson, Arthur Smith IV, established the town of Smithfield in 1750. The first recorded use of the name “Windsor Castle” dates from 1884.</p><br>
<p>In 2005, real estate developer Lewis McMurran obtained an option to purchase Windsor Castle for $2.2 million. The agreement included a historic easement around the manor house. McMurran proposed to build a 445-unit “New Urbanism” development on the property outside the historic easement. The proposal was withdrawn amidst strong opposition from town residents.</p><br>
<p>In 2007, Joseph W. Luter III donated $5 million to the town for the purchase and development of Windsor Castle as a park. Lewis McMurran then executed his option to purchase the property. The town council voted to pursue the use of eminent domain to obtain the property. In 2009, an out-of-court agreement was negotiated for the town to purchase the property outside the historic easement for $3.8 million and for McMurran to donate to the town the property within the historic easement.</p><br>
<p>The manor house and surrounding 208 acre were dedicated as a public park in 2010. The 46 acre immediately surrounding the manor house are protected by a historic easement controlled by the state of Virginia. The park was formally opened during a ceremony officiated by the Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell on May 22, 2010. The park features hiking trails, a dog park, a mountain bike trail, a fishing pier, and a canoe launch. The manor house overlooks the junction of Cypress Creek and the Pagan River. The King of All Places manor house (circa 1806) can be seen across Cypress Creek from the Windsor Castle property.</p><br>
<p>On April 2, 2013, it was reported in the Virginian-Pilot that the Smithfield Town Council has leased five acres at Windsor Castle Park to Smithfield Winery LLC to establish a vineyard for a small-production winery.</p><br>
<p>Gann Row Historic District is a historic district in Benton, Arkansas. The district includes thirteen residences built for Benton&#39;s middle-class population. Dr. Dewell Gan, Sr., purchased most of the land in the district around 1890 and is responsible for building most of the homes. Four Folk Victorian homes in the district were built between 1880 and 1890; Gann renovated these in the 1920s, adding Craftsman details. Gann also built the remaining houses in the district in the 1920s; these were also designed in the Craftsman style. The district is still considered a middle-class residential area; it is bordered on three sides by other working-class housing and to the north by downtown Benton. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places  in 1999.</p><br>
<p>The district includes Gann House and Gann Building, which are separately NRHP-listed.</p><br>
<p>The Warren County Courthouse is a stone building constructed in 1908 in Williamsport, Indiana. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 19, 2008.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>At the first Warren County seat of Warrenton, a log house owned (and occupied) by Enoch Farmer was used for general court and county purposes. When the county seat was moved to Williamsport, a log house belonging to the town&#39;s proprietor, William Harrison, served as the courthouse starting in July 1829. In 1832, plans were made for a new building, and in July of that year the construction bid was won by E. W. Jones and Seth Flowers. The new building was to be made of brick, 40 ft square and 23 ft high, and was to be completed by August 1833; but various problems delayed this until mid-1834. The cost of construction was about $2000. In 1835 the building was strengthened and improved.</p><br>
<p>In 1870 a specially-appointed committee determined that the old building was unsafe, and plans were begun to replace it; but opposition to the plan delayed progress until early 1871. The plans called for a new brick building to be constructed in what is now known as "Old Town", the original portion of Williamsport that was on the shores of the Wabash River. The firm of Hays and Evans of Bloomington, Illinois was awarded the job with a bid of $48,400. The county did not have sufficient funds for the project, so $10,000 worth of county bonds were issued. The new courthouse was accepted in December 1872.</p><br>
<p>In 1886 it was torn down and rebuilt as the third courthouse on the current site, in the newer portion of town that had developed because of the railroad. This courthouse had a 155-foot tower. Early on the morning of Sunday, January 20, 1907, the building caught fire and was largely destroyed, though most of the records were saved.</p><br>
<p>The current courthouse was designed by J. W. Royer of Urbana, Illinois and was constructed by Frank Jahn of Champaign, Illinois and L. N. Cope of Decatur, Illinois at a cost of $115,000. Following the fire of January 1907, construction of the new building was under way by October, during the term of Governor Frank Hanly. It was built primarily of stone, with stairs made of iron and marble. The county purchased two large brass cannons from the United States Government and placed them outside the building, where they still remain.</p><br>
<p>The Church of the Holy Trinity in Wyke Champflower, Bruton, Somerset, England dates from 1623 and has been designated as a Grade I listed building.</p><br>
<p>A wooden tympanum between the nave and chancel bears the 1624 Royal Arms, the arms of the then Bishop of Bath and Wells and the Archbishop of Canterbury. The pews are Jacobean pews and the large stone pulpit Elizabethan. The font cover is from a similar era.</p><br>
<p>The church contains a black-and-white marble monument commemorating Henry Southworth, who was the Lord of the Manor of Wyke, who died in 1625 and funded the construction of the church. In the graveyard is a memorial stone erected in 2002 for Edward Blair Michell (1843-1926) who may be buried there. Michell was a renowned falconer who authored the excellent treatise on falconry "The Art And Practice of Hawking", London 1900. Michell&#39;s house is across the road from the church and manor house.</p><br>
<p>The parish is part of the benefice of Bruton and District which falls within the Bruton and Cary deanery.</p><br>
<p>The Joseph W. Podmore Building on the corner of Merchant and Alakea streets in Honolulu, Hawaii was built in 1902 by Joseph W. Podmore, an English sailor who did business in Honolulu during the early 1900s. He built it to rent out for retail and office use, initially to a tailor and a decorator on the ground floor and to the Mercantile Printing Company upstairs. At the time it was added to the National Register of Historic Places on 24 March 1983, the Bon-Bon Cafe was its principal tenant and the name by which the building was once better known.</p><br>
<p>In 1907, Peter Cushman Jones, the property owner, donated the land and building to the local Board of Missions, who used it as their headquarters until the Mission Memorial Building was constructed in 1916. Their monthly newspaper, The Friend, was published in the print shop upstairs. Other notable tenants include the Honolulu Advertiser and the original Honolulu office of DHL Air Cargo.</p><br>
<p>Built of dark, locally quarried lava rock in a simple Richardsonian Romanesque style, the only arch is above the side doorway on Merchant Street. The main entrance is on the corner, behind a stone column. Decorative elements include a stone balustrade along the roofline, lintels and sills of lighter stone on the second-story windows, stone bands of alternating sizes (8 and 16 inches), and light reddish mortar lines.</p><br>
<p>The Church of St Andrew in Brympton, Somerset, England dates from the 13th century and has been designated as a Grade I listed building.</p><br>
<p>It is closely associated with the manor house of Brympton dEvercy. The dEvercy family were responsible for building the church. Thomas dEvercy purchased the estate in 1220. Sir Peter founded a chantry at Brympton dEvercy in 1306, endowing a priest with a messuage and 40 acre in the parish. New aisles were added in 1469.</p><br>
<p>It has been suggested that this is the building today known as the priest house, but no structural evidence exists to support this claim. The church contains monuments to Sir John Sydenham (died 1626) and his family who were lords of the manor.</p><br>
<p>Some of the effiges within the church were originally in the churchyard but were moved into the church in the 19th century and restored by John Edward Carew.</p><br>
<p>The parish is within the benefice of Odcombe with Brympton, Lufton and Montacute, which is within the deanery of Yeovil.</p><br>
<p>The Church of All Saints in Sutton Bingham in the civil parish of Closworth, Somerset, England dates from the 12th and 13th centuries and has been designated as a Grade I listed building.</p><br>
<p>The interior includes a series of 14th century wall paintings, including, in the Chancel, the Coronation of the Virgin, and several bishops and saints. On the north wall of the nave is a portrayal of the Death of the Virgin (pictured below right). The murals were whitewashed during the Reformation and remained obscured until they were rediscovered in the 1860s.</p><br>
<p>The small belfry contains two bells, one dates from around 1250 and the other is from 1685.</p><br>
<p>The church is close to the shore of Sutton Bingham Reservoir.</p><br>

<p>The Church of St Nicholas in Combe St Nicholas, Somerset, England is Norman in origin, with the chancel and lower stage of the tower dating from the 13th century. It was enlarged and aisles added in the 15th century, with further restoration in 1836. It has been designated as a grade I listed building.</p><br>
<p>There was a church on the site from the Norman Conquest and possibly earlier. The church was dedicated by the Bishop of Waterford with Bishop Jocelin of Wells in 1170.</p><br>
<p>The Hamstone nave has five bays and holds the font which may have survived from the pre Norman era. The 15th century aisles include a piscina and another font. The carved rood screen dates from around 1470. Beneath the chancel are three vaults which were discovered in 1971. The tower has six bells and a clock dating from 1845. It has battlements, corner pinnacles and gargoyles.</p><br>
<p>The parish is part of the benefice of Chard, St. Mary with Combe St Nicholas, Wambrook and Whitestaunton within the deanery of Crewkerne and Ilminster.</p><br>
<p>The Church of St Andrew in Curry Rivel, Somerset, England dates from the 13th century and is designated as a Grade I listed building. It was included in Simon Jenkins England&#39;s Thousand Best Churches.</p><br>
<p>The oldest part of the church is the north chapel which is Norman, however there may have been an earlier Saxon church on the same site. Most of the church is from the 15th century. An earlier tower was demolished and rebuilt in 1861 when the interior was also refashioned. Within the tower are eight bells, the oldest of which is from 1510.</p><br>
<p>The interior includes several 13th century monuments and a parclose screen.</p><br>
<p>The Anglican parish is within the benefice of Curry Rivel with Fivehead and Swell, within the Taunton archdeaconry.</p><br>
<p>Goshen Historic District is a historic district encompassing the town center village of Goshen, Connecticut. Centered at the junction of Connecticut Routes 4 and 63, the village developed historically as a rural crossroads of two turnpikes, and has retained its rural character. It is dominated by residential architecture from the first half of the 19th century, and includes churches, a store, and the town&#39;s former 1895 town hall. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Goshen, located in the hills of northwestern Connecticut, was settled in the mid-18th century. Its village center, near its geographic center, grew following the development of the east-west turnpike between Torrington and Sharon (now Route 4), and the north-south turnpike between Litchfield and Canaan (now Route 63). The town has remained rural and agricultural in character, with limited industry. In the mid-19th century, the village economy was boosted by the success of Simon Scoville, a blacksmith who established a carriage factory. Scovilles factory has not survived (it was where the towns modern town hall/library/school complex is located, just north of the district), but a remnant iron furnace does survive. Scoville also built a number of modest Greek Revival worker houses.</p><br>
<p>The historic district extends mainly along Route 63, beginning at Lyman Lane in the south, and ending at the modern town hall complex in the north. It also extends east along Route 4. Historic buildings in the district include examples of Greek Revival, Federal, and Victorian architecture from as early as 1760. Its most prominent buildings are civic and religious in nature, including the Goshen Academy and the 1832 Goshen Congregational Church. The 1895 Old Town Hall, located at the main junction, is a distinctive example of Shingle style architecture. Other examples of Victorian architecture include the Lavallette-Perrin House, which is an eclectic blend of Greek and Gothic Revival elements.</p><br>

<p>The Palace of the Councils or Palace of the Duke of Uceda  is a building from the 17th century located in central Madrid, Spain. It is located on the Mayor street, corner of calle Bailén Street.</p><br>
<p>The palace is representative of Spanish baroque architecture, and was commissioned by Cristóbal Gómez de Sandoval-Rojas, first Duke of Uceda, and powerful minister or valido of King Philip III of Spain. It was designed by Francisco de Mora, although works was directed by Juan Gómez de Mora and executed by Captain Alonso Turrillo from 1608 to 1613. The palace stands before the Church of Santa María de la Almudena.</p><br>
<p>When it was built, decorated with the heraldic arms of the Sandoval family flanked by lions, it was judged too ostentatious for a nobleman. After the Duke&#39;s fall from grace, it became property of the Royal family, and housed the mother of Charles II of Spain, the queen mother, Mariana of Austria. She died there on the night of May 16, 1696.</p><br>
<p>Upon his arrival to Madrid in 1701, the Bourbon king Philip V of Spain transferred many of the royal offices or councils from the then extant Real Alcázar of Madrid to the Palacio de Uceda, and since then, it has been known as the Palacio de los Consejos. The main council, however, remained in the palace. In the 19th century, the council of state and the Capitanía General were moved here.</p><br>
<p>The District #6 Schoolhouse, also known locally as the Little Red Schoolhouse or the Lincoln School, located in Brunswick, New York, United States, is a one-room schoolhouse built c. 1830 It was added to the National Register of Historic Places  on July 3, 2008 and a dedication ceremony for the accomplishment was held on June 12, 2009.</p><br>
<p>The building, located on New York Route 278, is still owned by Brunswick Central School District. It is believed to be one of the oldest remaining schoolhouses in Rensselaer County.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The schoolhouse was built either in 1830 or 1837—though sources disagree on which—and served as a local grade school for more than a century. It hosted children ranging from grade one to eight together in one classroom. The district was centered around Clums Corners and was originally designated District 11 until being renamed District 6 sometime between 1854 and 1862.</p><br>
<p>The structure was built on land donated by Luther and Olive Eddy, who owned a large tract of farmland adjacent to the current lot. Luther Eddy later became the first town superintendent for education in 1844.</p><br>
<p>After the consolidation of Brunswick Central School District in the 1950s, the school was closed. At one point, it was reopened for a year to accommodate the large student population on the new school&#39;s campus.</p><br>
<p>It was later used as a garage by the school district. The west wall was removed to accommodate vehicles. After that, it was used as a storage house by the district.</p><br>
<p>During the 1970s, the exterior of the building was restored by the local Kiwanis, including replacing the west wall which had been removed. The building was then used by the Brunswick Historical Society as a museum. By 2007, most of the interior was refurbished by donations of time and materials from local residents.</p><br>
<p>Beginning in the mid-2000s (decade), an effort was made by the Brunswick Town Historian to add the site to National Register of Historic Places. This would be the second former schoolhouse in the town to be listed on the NRHP, the Garfield School being the first. Following an interior restoration that was completed in 2007, the site was added to the register on July 3, 2008 as District No. 6 Schoolhouse.</p><br>
<p>Mount Ellinor is a peak in the Olympic Mountains of Washington, United States. It is located in an area designated as the Mount Skokomish Wilderness. The mountain is a popular day hike in the summer months, being that the summit is reachable via a steep-but-brief 3.3 mi trail which gains about 3,200 ft in elevation from the lower of two trailheads. Mountain goats are frequently observable along this trail, but it is advisable to keep a safe distance from them. The trailhead is accessible from National Forest Road 24 north of Lake Cushman. This lower trailhead lies at an elevation of 2,600 ft. A Northwest Forest Pass or appropriate parking permit is required at the upper trailhead, which starts at 3,500 feet.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1853, surveyor George Davidson named the mountain after Ellinor Fauntleroy, his fiance. Additionally, Davidson named The Brothers after Ellinor&#39;s two brothers, and Mount Constance after her older sister.</p><br>
<p>Mount Ellinor was first climbed in August 1879 by D.N. Utler, Mr. and Mrs. J.W. Waughop, and H.C. Esteps.</p><br>
<h2>View</h2><br>
<p>Mount Ellinor offers a variety of views of all the major Cascade peaks, as well as close-range views of neighboring Mount Washington, Stone, Pershing, and a glimpse of Mount Olympus in the distance. Additionally, views of Lake Cushman, the Hood Canal and the Puget Sound abound.</p><br>
<p>Mount Maude is the 15th highest peak in Washington state. The peak is located in the Entiat Mountains, a subrange of the North Cascades. It is in the Glacier Peak Wilderness, at the headwaters of the Entiat River. The peak was given its name by Albert H. Sylvester in honor of Frederick Stanley Maude.</p><br>
<p>The mountain from the south side consists of mostly talus with small rocky outcroppings, often compared with mountains in the Colorado Rockies. The northeast side is much different, with a steep rocky summit sheltering the small Entiat Glacier. Most climbers will climb Maude, Seven Fingered Jack, and sometimes Mount Fernow in the same trip.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>The mountain made of Cretaceous Orthogneiss, and Tonalite. The flank of the mountain on the southwest side are made of Triassic Orthogneiss and Triassic to Permian Heterogeneous Metamorphic rock. While the northeast side also consist of Eocene Quartz Diorite, and small marble deposits. Many normal faults are present as well as one small strik-slip fault near spectacle buttes.</p><br>

<p>The District #2 Schoolhouse, known locally as the Garfield School and also known as Brunswick District No. 2 School, located in Brunswick, New York, United States, is a two-room schoolhouse built and opened in 1881. It hosted local students until the consolidation of Brunswick  Central School District in the mid-1950s. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places  in 1988, becoming the first building in the Town of Brunswick to be added to the Register. It is the current home of the Brunswick Historical Society.</p><br>
<p>The building, located on the corner of Moonlawn Road and New York Route 2 (Brunswick Road), was owned by Brunswick Central School District until it was transferred to the Town of Brunswick in 1986. It was named for President James A. Garfield, who taught penmanship at a nearby school in Poestenkill.</p><br>
<p>__TOC__</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The need for new school buildings in Brunswick became apparent when, in 1879, Edward Wait, the newly appointed district commissioner for that portion of Rensselaer County of which District #2 was part, lamented to the state superintendent of public education about the poor quality of many schools in his district, in addition to overcrowding in some. Within three years, ten new schoolhouses were built in his district, the Garfield School being one of them.</p><br>
<p>The planning of the school is well documented. Facing an enlarging student body (or possibly the prodding from the enthusiastic Commissioner Wait), the board of trustees voted on October 14, 1879 to have plans and specifications drawn up for a new schoolhouse. Reasons cited were for a growing student body and the current schoolhouse being in a "dilapidated condition". The board commissioned Nicholas Pawley, a carpenter from Poestenkill, to design the new building.</p><br>
<p>The fact that the design of the schoolhouse was commissioned is notable because most schoolhouses at the time were built based on templates found in architectural plan books. Most ended up as simple rectangular structures, made of wood or brick, with no distinguishing features. The Garfield School, on the other hand, was designed to be a beautiful addition to the town and become an icon of education.</p><br>
<p>The design was originally meant to be a two-room, two-story schoolhouse, but was eventually reconfigured to be a two-room, one-story building, with classrooms located side-by-side. The main building measures about 53.5 by. Each of the two classrooms is rectangular; they were originally separated by a sliding wall, which could be moved in the event of a large crowd or gathering. A vestibule used as a cloakroom juts out from the front about 8 ft; each classroom had its own entrance, which can still be seen in the photo shown above.</p><br>
<p>The construction contract was awarded to Joachim Filieau, who was a member of the board of trustees at the time. The designer, Pawley, had also bid for the construction of the building, but did not win the contract, probably because had been the high bidder. Filieau was also a local carpenter and built the schoolhouse to the specifications set forth by Pawley. Construction began during the summer of 1881 and finished in time for the beginning of the school year. The building cost $2,762 and was funded by a combination of taxes and four $500 bonds.</p><br>
<p>The design of the structure is notable because it was built to serve a purpose but also be architecturally and aesthetically pleasing. For example, the structure has a gabled roof and ornamental woodwork at the peaks of each gable, still there today, and visible in the photo above. Additionally, to avoid the perception of a horizontal, or "squat", building, Pawley also called for a cupola, which still exists today with its original weathervane. Also uncommon for the time, the building has a full basement.</p><br>
<p>The school eventually became known as the Garfield School, in recognition of President James A. Garfield, who taught penmanship at a nearby school in Poestenkill while attending Williams College in Massachusetts.</p><br>
<p>Sometime around 1920, an 8 ft addition was added to the back of the building to allow for internal plumbing, toilets, and sinks. This was added to conform with newly developed health standards, which required sanitary facilities in all public schools by September 1918. This was the only major addition to the structure over the course of its history.</p><br>
<p>Today the building is home to the Brunswick Historical Society. It was added to the NRHP in 1988, becoming the first listed building in the Town of Brunswick. Until 1986, it was owned by Brunswick Central School District, but was transferred to the Town of Brunswick that year, under the condition that the building only be used for educational purposes. The Brunswick Community Library moved out of the building in September 2009.</p><br>
<p>The Garfield School is considered the best-preserved two-room schoolhouse in Rensselaer County and has been used continuously since its opening. After consolidation in the 1950s, the building was still used by its home district at times of overcrowding, and was used for BOCES classes for some time. The Brunswick Community Library moved in later on, as did the Brunswick Historical Society.</p><br>
<p>The Lightle House, a historic house at 605 Race Avenue in Searcy, Arkansas contains two stories, a full basement, and a full attic. Its brick facade attaches to a reinforced concrete foundation which supports a tile hip roof with 1924 Ludovici tiles. Designed by Charles L. Thompson, it has plans dated December 1923, so construction started in 1924 and continued until the Edward Lightle family moved in on April 1925, a date documented on the underside of a garden urn presently located under a wrought iron gazebo in the back yard.</p><br>
<p>The house is an elongated version of a somewhat standard Colonial Revival plan produced by Thompson and Harding, with a porte-cochere at one end, and an elaborate entry, with sidelight windows, and pilasters supporting an entablature and arced pediment. Though made to look original, the present back yard balcony is not original but replaced a rotted wood balcony added in 1996 when the house was renovated to serve as a bed & breakfast.</p><br>
<p>That renovation also enclosed the second floor sleeping porch. Presently, it has seven bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, as well as a commercial kitchen, two dining rooms, and three rooms used for office space.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Church of Saint Mary in Limington, Somerset, England dates from the late 14th century and includes fragments of an earlier building. It has been designated as a Grade I listed building.</p><br>
<p>Fragments of the north door and tower date from the Norman period, but most of the building are from the 14th century with the north chapel being dated to 1328. It is built of local stone with Hamstone dressings. The tower has six bells, the oldest of which is from the 15th century. The interior includes a pulpit and altar table from the 17th century and an octagonal font from the 16th. There are several effigies including one of Sir Richard Gyvernay who built the chantry chapel and died in 1329. Below this is a smaller female figure and there is also a double monument of a male and female figure, which are believed to be Henry and Matilda Power and date from the 1340s.</p><br>
<p>The earliest known rector is Thomas Wolsey who held the living between 1500 and 1509, before becoming a cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church.</p><br>
<p>The Anglican parish is part of the benefice of Ilchester with Northover, Limington Yeovilton and Podimore within the archdeaconry of Wells.</p><br>
<p>The Church of St Mary in Marston Magna, Somerset, England can date its origins to before the Norman Conquest, however the present building largely dates from around 1360,</p><br>
<p>The church was held by Polsloe Priory, near Exeter from the 12th century until the dissolution of the monasteries.</p><br>
<p>There are two small windows heads on each side of the central arch which remain from the Saxon church which once stood on the site, and the north wall, which includes herringbone masonry, and the font are Norman. The triple lancet east window dates from around 1230, although the glass is Victorian. The Lady Chapel is from the 15th century, as is the oak screen below the west gallery and rood screen.</p><br>
<p>The three stage tower has a stair turret on the south east corner leading to the belfry, which is surmounted by battlements, crocheted pinnacles and gargoyles. The vestry in the base of the tower includes a clock by William Monk, who also made the clock in Sherborne Abbey, and dating from 1710. The bells were dedicated in 1912 when new land was added to the churchyard at the expense of the governors of Winchester College.</p><br>
<p>The Leggett House in Merced, California, also known as Queen Anne Inn, is a historic house located at 352 W. 22nd St. in Merced, California. The house was built in the Queen Anne style of Victorian architecture. Its most prominent feature is the Witchs Cap on its roof, a cone-shaped turret with eight scalloped hips. The homes design also includes a steep shingle roof, gables on the porch and sides of the house, and horizondal shiplap and fish scale shingle siding on its first and second floors respectively. E. M. Herron, a local rancher, built the home in 1884; he later sold it to pioneer and Merced postmaster Thomas H. Leggett, who operated a jewelry store in the house&#39;s parlor.</p><br>
<p>The Leggett House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 25, 1979. The Thomas H. Leggett House, another house in Merced owned by Leggett, is also listed on the National Register.</p><br>
<p>The Church of St Michael in Shepton Beauchamp, Somerset, England is built of local hamstone, and has 13th-century origins, although it has been extensively changed since then, with major renovation in 1865 by George Edmund Street. It has been designated as a Grade I listed building.</p><br>
<p>The building is of lias and Ham stone and is made up of a chancel with a north chapel and a vestry, a nave and tall three-stage west tower, which was largely rebuilt in the 16th century. It has set-back buttresses ascending to the shafts of former pinnacles, set off with an embattled parapet and gargoyles. There are two-light traceried bell-chamber windows with stone grilles, continuing as blank openings on the ringing chamber below. There are clocks with Roman numerals to the west and south faces and a higher polygonal stair-turret to the north corner. The tower holds eight bells several of which date back to 1738 and were made by the Bilbie family.</p><br>
<p>The former rectory, now called Beauchamp Manor, was built in 1874 for the rector V.S.S. Coles to house his curates and visitors.</p><br>
<p>The parish is part of the Winsmoor benefice within the Crewkerne and Ilminster deanery.</p><br>
<p>The Merchant&#39;s House at Number 8, Market Place, Shepton Mallet, Somerset, England was built around 1675 and has been designated as a Grade II* listed building. The date of construction was confirmed by dendrochronology.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Merchant&#39;s House was built by Edward Strode (ca. 1629—1703) a wealthy landowner to be tenented. (Edward was a son of Colonel William Strode, a Parliamentarian officer and Member of Parliament.) Shepton Mallet was then a wealthy town on the back of the wool trade so the south range of the house was almost certainly built for a wool merchant. The north was two tenements with two shop units.</p><br>
<p>When Strode died the house was bequeathed to his daughters with the condition that ₤8 per year be used to finance a charitable donation of bread to feed the local poor. It passed out of the Strode family in 1756.</p><br>
<p>In the 20th century the house suffered serious neglect and vandalism.</p><br>
<p>Since 2004 the building has been renovated with around 5% funding from English Heritage and Mendip Council, receiving the William Stansell/SBPT Building Award from the Somerset Buildings Preservation Trust in 2008. In 2009 the renovation was recognised with a special award from Mendip Council.</p><br>
<p>The restoration and conservation included 80 new leaded lights and 27 new metal casements. The work undertaken was shown in a programme of the BBC2 series Restore to Glory. The building was in a parlous state prior to work and was included on both national and regional buildings at risk registers.</p><br>
<p>The Rottum is a river in the region of Upper Swabia in Baden-Württemberg in Germany. It is a tributary of the river Westernach, itself a tributary of the Danube, and has a length of 24 km.</p><br>
<p>The Rottum runs from south to north parallel to the river Rot to the east.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The Rottum is formed at the confluence of the Bellamonter Rottum and the Steinhauser Rottum (also known as Lower Rottum) within the borders of the city of Ochsenhausen from where it flows in a northerly direction towards the rive Danube passing Goppertshofen. It then flows through Reinstetten and Schönebürg towards Mietingen. Between Schönebürg and Mietingen an unnamed tributary empties its waters into the Rottum. This tributary is supplied from ponds belonging to former Heggbach Abbey. Having passed through Mietingen the Rottum then runs through Baustetten and Laupheim before joining the river Dürnach three kilometres to the north of Laupheim to form the river Westernach.</p><br>
<h2>Tourism</h2><br>
<p>Parts of the Upper Swabian Baroque Route run along the river Rottum.</p><br>
<h2>Renaturation</h2><br>
<p>In its original state, the river Rottum had been meandering through the valley for most of its course. However, in the 1820s works to channel the river started, the last of which were finished in 1970, giving the river its current appearance.</p><br>
<p>In 2013, a project will start to renaturate a stretch of the river within the confines of the city of Laupheim.</p><br>
<p>The Tonawanda Armory is a historic armory originally built for the 25th Separate Company of the New York National Guard, and located in the city of Tonawanda in Erie County, New York. It is a brick and stone castle-like structure built in 1897, designed to be reminiscent of medieval military structures in Europe. It was designed by State architect of New York Isaac G. Perry.</p><br>
<p>It consists of a two-story, hip-roofed administration building with an attached -story, gable-roofed drill shed, spanning open space of 30,000 ft&sup2;. The building features a five-story octagonal tower at the southwest corner and a two-story round tower at the northwest corner.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994. It is now privately owned and available for rental or tours.</p><br>
<p>The Kapuāiwa Building at 426 Queen Street in the Capital Historic District of Honolulu, Hawaii, was built in 1884, during the reign of Kalākaua, originally to provide fireproof safekeeping for government documents. It was named for Lot Kapuāiwa, who had reigned as Kamehameha V, and its architect, George Lucas, employed an Italianate Renaissance revival style that matched that of the other Hawaiian Monarchy buildings of that period. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on 2 July 1973.</p><br>
<p>Built of rusticated concrete blocks, it is two stories high, with a flat roof and a recessed central entrance on the Queen Street side. The arched windows have keystones on the ground floor and dripstones on the upper level, and the roofline is decorated with a cornice and balustrade. In 1930, a new wing and entry corridor were added and the interior was renovated. The interior is currently undergoing further renovations.</p><br>
<p>The 140 ft Burton Pynsent Monument on Troy Hill at Burton Pynsent, within the parish of Curry Rivel, Somerset, England, was built in 1767 and has been designated as a Grade I listed building.</p><br>
<p>Alternative names for the tower, which stands on Troy Hill, a spur of high ground about 700 m north-east of Burton Pynsent House, include the Curry Rivel Column, Pynsent Column, Pynsent Steeple or Cider Monument.</p><br>
<p>The monument, which is clad in Portland Stone, was designed by Capability Brown and built by Philip Pear, at a cost of £2,000, for William Pitt as a monument to Sir William Pynsent, of the Pynsent Baronets.</p><br>
<p>Pynsent was grateful to Pitt for opposing a ten shilling tax on a hogshead of cider (1763 Cider Bill), which would have affected his business, so on his death he left his entire estate to Pitt. Pitt then used some of the income from the estate (£3000 per annum) to erect the monument to his benefactor.</p><br>
<p>In June 1948 it was reported that a heifer climbed the 172 steps to the top of the monument, but was later returned safely to her hillside pasture.</p><br>
<p>The tower was restored in the 1990s by the John Paul Getty Trust and English Heritage.</p><br>
<p>Carnegie Library is a historic Carnegie library building located at North Tonawanda in Niagara County, New York. It was designed and built in 1903, with funds provided by the philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. It is one of 3,000 such libraries constructed between 1885 and 1919, and one of 107 in New York State. Carnegie provided $20,000 toward the construction of the North Tonawanda library. It is a low one-story brick structure with basement in the Classical Revival style. The interior features wood paneling, elaborate plaster moldings and trim, mosaic tile floors, and a large stained glass skylight.</p><br>
<p>The building functioned as a library until 1976, when it became home to the Carnegie Art Center of the Tonawandas&#39; Council on the Arts.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<p>Herschell Carrousel Factory Museum is a historic carousel factory building located at North Tonawanda in Niagara County, New York. The factory complex was constructed between about 1910 and 1915 and consists of six primary structures and five contributory additions. The primary structures are: the Mill Building , Carving and Pattern shop , Paint Shop and Storage Building , Roundhouse , Machine Shop , and Assembly and Testing Building . Also on the property is the Number One Special Three Abreast portable carousel, built in 1916.</p><br>
<p>At one time five carousel builders operated in North Tonawanda. The Allan Herschell Company, and its predecessor the Herschell-Spillman Company, was the most notable of them and operated from 1883 to 1955. The company produced wood carousels into the 1930s.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985 as the Allan Herschell Carousel Factory.</p><br>
<h2>Museum</h2><br>
<p>The Herschell Carousel Factory Museum is located at the original factory site on Thompson Street. It was first open to the general public in 1983, with a full operational carousel from 1916. The first floor of the factory has been opened up to provide exhibits and demonstrations. Two operating carousels give visitors first hand experience of the magical ride and authentic band organ music. The Children&#39;s Gallery presents interactive learning activities. Different programs are offered, such as woodcarving of various skill levels, guided tours, and a summer lecture series. Events for a family audience are presented throughout the year. New in 2014 is the outdoor Kiddieland Testing Park exhibit where children can "test" restored company rides from the 1950s.</p><br>
<p>The Perry Street Historic District encompasses a fine collection of early-20th century architecture in Helena–West Helena, Arkansas. It includes fifteen buildings, arrayed on the single city blocks stretching south and west from the junction of Perry and Pecan Streets. The buildings on these blocks represent a cross-section of private and public architecture spanning 1880-1930, including two churches, the only synagogue in Phillips County , and the county&#39;s oldest public building, the 1879 Helena Library and Museum. Most of the residences in the district were built between 1900 and the 1920s. Although most of the residential architecture is Arts and Crafts in style, it includes two fine Queen Anne Victorians: the Moore House at 608 Perry  and the William Nicholas Straub House at 531 Perry .</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1986.</p><br>
<p>Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburgh Railroad Station is a historic railway station located at Orchard Park in Erie County, New York. It was constructed in 1911 and served passenger trains until the 1950s.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The property includes the passenger depot and brick freight house both constructed in 1911, tracks, a concrete bumper post, a semaphore signal, a portion of the entrance drive, and four period rail cars. The station&#39;s plan is based largely on one designed by Henry Hobson Richardson for the 1884 station at Auburndale, Massachusetts, which was demolished in 1961 after 80 years in service.</p><br>
<p>When the Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburgh Railway (BR&P) was acquired by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, Orchard Park Station became a B&O station. The station terminated passenger service in the 1950s before the merger between B&O and C&O into the Chessie System. Freight service operated from Orchard Park until 1979. The station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<p>Birge-Horton House is a historic home located at Buffalo in Erie County, New York. It was designed in 1895 by the Buffalo architectural firm of Green and Wicks and is a Georgian Revival style row house in "The Midway" section of Delaware Avenue. It is a four story brick house with stone trim. The house is situated within the boundaries of the Allentown Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The Birge-Horton House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<h2>History & Design</h2><br>
<p>Delaware Avenue, in the early 19th century, was the principal residential street in Buffalo and consisted of many freestanding mansions and clubs in addition to these row houses. The site chosen for these homes was referred to as “the Midway “ since it was located halfway between Niagara Square (city center) and Forest Lawn Cemetery.</p><br>
<p>The Birge-Horton House, an outstanding example of a Georgian Revival row house, was designed by preeminent Buffalo architects E. B. Green and W. S. Wicks for Henry and Fanny Birge. Mr. Birge was a partner in the Birge Wallpaper Co. The Birge-Horton House is four stories high, three bays wide, and constructed of brick with stone trim. On the exterior, each floor of the home is distinguished by various architectural features. Superior craftsmanship is evident throughout the building. The interior design is exquisite. A grand staircase rising four stories, six marble fireplaces, leaded lay lights, and leaded windows are just a few of its beautiful features. Today, it is the only home in the row that remains as it was built so long ago.</p><br>
<p>The Birge-Horton House was the last of the thirteen luxury row houses built from 1893-1895. These four-story houses were unique in Buffalo. Although each house in the row is the work of various architects and of different designs, they give an overall appearance of unified composition because of similarities in height, width, and construction materials.</p><br>
<p>In 1906, Katharine Pratt Horton took up residence, renting the property until 1920 when she purchased the house from Fanny Birge. It remained her residence until her death in 1931. At that time, the Buffalo Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution inherited the home. Since then the Katharine Pratt Horton, Buffalo chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution has maintained the house much the way it was when Mrs. Horton lived in it.</p><br>

<p>Berkeley Apartments, also known as the Graystone Hotel , is a historic apartment hotel building located at Buffalo in Erie County, New York.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Berkeley Apartments was constructed between 1894 and 1897, and is one of the earliest examples of a large multistory building built of reinforced concrete. it was designed by local architect Carlton T. Strong and engineer Ernest L. Ransome. The building is in the Italian Renaissance style.</p><br>
<p>The six-story building hosted visitors to the Pan-American Exposition in the early 1900s. The building became vacant in the early 1990s after decades of decline. In 2002, Ellicott Development Co. purchased the hotel with plans to redevelop the property into a luxury apartment building. Those plans were halted in late 2003 after a large section of roof collapsed during interior demolition work. The building again sat idle until 2013 when work resumed. The building now houses 42 market-rate apartments.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
