<p>Lake Isabel is located within the San Isabel National Forest in Pueblo County and Custer County, Colorado, United States. The lake is in the Wet Mountains. The lake is largely open to fishing year around and is regularly stocked by the Colorado Department of Wildlife. Available activities include fishing, hiking, camping and sledding in the winter.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The creation of Lake Isabel was part of two social projects in the early 20th century. It was seen as a placation for the Ludlow Massacre in which the Colorado National Guard was responsible for the deaths of 18 civilians including women and children. The lake was used predominately as a storage for CF&I Steel and also partially funded by them to offset bad community feelings for worker mistreatment. At this time United States president Theodore Roosevelt started putting forests aside as reserves for the people under Roosevelt&#39;s New Deal.</p><br>
<p>The OTO Homestead and Dude Ranch was the first dude ranch in the US state of Montana. It was started by James Norris  Randall and his wife Dora after they purchased squatters rights on a small cabin along Cedar Creek in the Absaroka Mountains. The original cabin had a dirt floor cabin with a sod roof. Randall courted wealthy eastern clients  and by 1912 they came to the OTO to experience a "genuine" western ranch lifestyle. The property grew to meet the needs of guests and by the 1920s included an impressive lodge , cabins, barns, post office, and outbuildings. Notable guests included Theodore Roosevelt and Marcellus Hartley Dodge, Jr. The ranchs name is derived from its founders involvement in the Ordo Templi Orientis, or O.T.O., a California-based religious order.</p><br>
<p>The Randalls sold the OTO in 1934 to Chan Libby (a former guest). In 1939 the OTO closed its dude ranching operations permanently. After its 1939 closing the property was sold to John Paul and Jessie Shields, who owned for more than 30 years and worked it as cattle and horse ranch. Two of their granddaughters would come and spend summers with them and go to the OTO, Gayle (Shields) Terry and Nikki Shields. They sold it to the Elk Foundation in 1989. The 3,265 acre (1,321 hectare) property was eventually acquired by the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, who donated it (1991) to the United States Forest Service (Gallatin National Forest District). In 2004 the site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and buildings are currently undergoing renovations with labor provided by volunteer groups including Passport in Time, Elderhostel and Amizade.Gallatin Nation Forest News Release., Gallatin Forest Supervisor Signs OTO Ranch</p><br>

<p>Table Rock is a mountain in the east rim of Linville Gorge, part of Pisgah National Forest . It features a unique rock formation, and is a prominent peak in the area.</p><br>
<p>The peak makes for a quick hike from a nearby parking area, and is also very popular for rock climbing. It is described as having a "national reputation of being the best place to climb in the Southeastern USA", and the "hub of climbing activity in Linville Gorge".</p><br>
<p>Table Rock is also known for its flora. Botanists André Michaux and John Fraser found various plants in the area in the nineteenth century. Fraser discovered Fraser&#39;s Sedge near the mountain.</p><br>
<p>Table Rock has been described as "the most visible symbol in the region". In addition, Jules Verne&#39;s novel Master of the World describes Table Rock, which is called Great Eyrie in the book, as "rising high above the valley to sometimes belch strange sounds and fire over the little village of Morganton".</p><br>
<p>A wildfire swept through the area in November 2013. At least one hundred firefighters were involved.</p><br>
<p>The Quixeramobim River is a river that runs through the state of Ceará in northeastern Brazil. It was originally known by the Indians who inhabited the region as Rio Ibu. It rises in the Serra das Matas at Monsenhor Tabosa and Banhha and its mouth is on Rio Banabuiú, being one of its main tributaries. There are three municipalities on the river: Boa Viagem, Quixeramobim and Banabuiú. Its drainage basin also covers the municipality of Madalena, most of Itatira and a small part of Santa Quitéria.</p><br>
<p>Two dams creating reservoirs of the same name are on the river in the vicinity of Monsenhor Tabosa: the Quixeramobim with 54,000,000 m³ storage capacity, and Fogareiro, with a capacity of 118 820 000 m³, both in the municipality of Quixeramobim. These reservoirs are the main source of water for the three municipalities bordering the Quixeramobim.</p><br>
<p>Otter Hole is perhaps one of the best decorated caves in Britain. Located on the Wales–England border just north of Chepstow, the cave runs from the banks of the tidal River Wye under the Chepstow Racecourse and onwards through various chambers, each rich with cave formations. Due to its importance as one of the finest examples of decorated caverns in Europe access is restricted, managed by the Royal Forest of Dean Caving Club on behalf of the landowner.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The entrance to the cave is situated on the banks of the Wye through a gated doorway at the foot of a bluff. This is locked as a precaution against illegal entry to the cave, both to protect the rare forms inside the cave, and also to prevent anyone wandering into the cave and being trapped accidentally as the cave floods in sync with the tide.</p><br>
<p>After a short crawl with few squeezes the passage opens out to a beach where the tidal sump blocks access. At low tide this sump drains quickly and noisily, becoming passable as a duck beneath a figure 8 double opening. Due to the frequency of the tidal sump two trips can be offered; a between tide trip lasting around 6 hours will enter just after the sump drains and leave just before it fills, or the overtide trip the sump is passed just before closing giving between 9 and 15 hours caving time.</p><br>
<p>Continuing past the sump a fairly linear route takes you along the active streamway, leading eventually to a pool in which many choose to wash off a little; removing some of the thick estuarine mud that could otherwise sully the delicate formations. Passing a little further through a few boulder chokes brings you through many wonderfully decorated chambers and eventually to the Hall of 30. This is the largest of the chambers which is filled with very many monumental stalagmites in a range of colours from pure white, through oranges and yellows, to pure black. The range of colours is due to the variety of minerals seeping through the bedrock and deposited in the formations. Whites are the natural Calcium Carbonate forms, while elements such as Arsenic create the black forms.</p><br>
<p>The formations continue beyond the Hall of 30 until the passage changes character once more at the junction of Tunnels Left and Right. Camp is generally considered to be the far back of the cave, again full of wonderful formations such as Straws, Helictites and Pom Poms. The return journey takes you back through the Hall of 30 and along the streamway towards the sump.</p><br>
<h2>Conservation</h2><br>
<p>Because of the unique collection of formations at Otter Hole access is limited, with bookings for trips taken well in advance through the Otter Hole Secretary. Those taking part in trips may well be asked to participate in some of the conservation work that is carried out, such as cleaning the stals and drapes, laying tape or simply cleaning up any rubbish found. All trips are run with a warden from the Royal forest of Dean Caving Club, who are there to both guide and control impact on the area.</p><br>
<p>The cave is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), GCR number 550.</p><br>
<p>Hale&#39;s Island is a 54 acre island located on the Merrimack River in Haverhill / Bradford, Massachusetts. The property is part of Silsby&#39;s farm. Although there is not much there now, the island has reportedly been home to a golf course, a hotel, and even a small airport. The golf course was destroyed in 1936 when the island flooded. There is still the remnants of a foundation on the island. This was the foundation of the golf course club house. There are also four artesian wells on the island. Other than that, the island is mostly inhabited by snakes, bugs, and some birds. It is becoming increasingly overgrown these days. There is a stone bridge that connects it to land on the Bradford side. This can barely be seen when the water is low, and impossible when the water is high. The bridge was mostly destroyed in the 1936 flood that destroyed the golf course. The bridge was built to allow cows to move back and forth to the island for grazing. The island is not listed as an airport on any aeronautical charts. More than likely, that reference is to the area of the River on the north side of the island which was listed for landing seaplanes, and connected to an airfield which was previously located on Coffin Rd where there is now a marina.</p><br>

<p>The Abell-Kilbourne House in Martinsburg, West Virginia is associated with John N. Abell, a prominent Martinsburg businessman and Charles W. Kilbourn, a Martinsburg mill owner. The former president of the Old National Bank, Abell developed the area known as "Abell&#39;s Addition" after his retirement in 1886. At that time Abell lived at 506 West Burke Street.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Abell bought the Winchester Street site in 1895 from D.W. Shaffer for $1075 and completed the house the same year. The surrounding lands were associated with the Martinsburg Mining, Manufacturing and Improvement Company. The electric street railway ran to the rear of the site. Abell lived in the house until his death in 1905. His wife Nora lived there until 1910 when she sold the house to Thomas B. Underhill, who immediately sold it to E.F. Millard. Millard sold the house a year later to John W. Wilen. Wilen sold the house and adjoining lots in 1912 for $3780 to J. M. Rothwell, who then sold the house and lots to Charles W. Kilbourn for $8500. Kilbourn died in 1937 and the house was sold in 1938 to George Martin, who retained the house until 1987.</p><br>
<p>Charles Kilbourn owned the Interwoven Mill in Martinsburg. His father invented a knitting machine and started the Kilbourne Knitting Machine Company in 1899 at the Middlesex Mill in New Jersey. After a fire, Charles Kilbourn, who by then had inherited the operation of the company, relocated to Martinsburg. The Interwoven Mill was the largest manufacturing operation in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia.</p><br>
<p>The house is a frame 2½ story Colonial Revival structure. The house&#39;s long axis is arranged perpendicular to the street, from which it is well set back at the top of a rise. The house has a hip roof, with a three-story tower on the right side, and is fronted by a broad porch that wraps around to either side. The tower houses the main stairs. The porch features low-key Eastlake detailing. WIndows in the attic contain colored novelty glass. A unique feature in the pantry is a built-in refrigerator in the pantry. Other unusual features are the windows set in the floor of the second floor storage room, which allow light into the room from the porch ceiling below. The basement contains a cistern.</p><br>
<p>A garage, barn and servants&#39; residence are also associated with the house.</p><br>
<p>The Alvin Miller House is a Usonian home beside the Cedar River in Charles City, Iowa. It was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and constructed over a five-year period completed in 1951. The single-story structure features a two-level flat roof which allows for clerestory windows. It was severely damaged in the flood of 2008, but is currently being restored.</p><br>
<p>According to the National Park Service document on the seven Iowa Usonian homes: ″The third Iowa Usonian, the Alvin Miller House in Charles City, was designed in the same year as the Grant House but was not built until 1951-1952. The Miller House</p><br>
<p>was featured in Wright&#39;s ′The Natural House;′ it is the smallest of the Iowa Usonians; and, unlike the Walter and Grant houses, the Miller House has a much sturdier, less radical character.″</p><br>
<p>The Douglas and Charlotte Grant House is a historic building located in Marion, Iowa, United States. Located on 40 acres of land, this Frank Lloyd Wright designed Usonian-style dwelling was constructed from 1949 to 1951, with some construction continuing to about 1960. This is one of the first houses in Iowa built in this style, having been completed a year after the Lowell E. Walter House located near Quasqueton. The two houses are very similar in style. The characteristics that mark this as a Wright-designed house include: the house integrated into the site and opened to the outdoors; the use of window walls and horizontal bands of windows; natural lighting and ventilation; use of natural materials; a horizontal emphasis in mass and proportion; a car port in place of a garage; slab-on-grade construction with radiant heat system embedded in the slab; a flat roof; an open-plan interior; varied ceiling heights on the interior; built-in</p><br>
<p>furniture; and a large scale fireplace with a central hearth. The limestone for the house was quarried on the property. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>Amak Volcano is a basaltic andesite stratovolcano in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska, USA, 618 mi from Anchorage. It is located on the eponymous island, 31 mi from Frosty Volcano and near the edge of the Alaskan Peninsula&#39;s western flank. Only boats are allowed to access the island with a certain permit.</p><br>
<p>Blocky (dotted with flat blocks of minerals and crystals) lava flows stream from its summit to its flanks. Three historical eruptions have taken place – two within the 18th century, the first from 1700–1710, and the latter in 1796. The earliest prehistoric eruption was believed to have taken place between 3050 and 2050 BCE.</p><br>
<h2>Accessibility</h2><br>
<p>Cold Bay, the city nearest Amak, is easily accessible by plane. Amak is accessible only by boat; airplanes are not permitted to land on the island. Private boat rides to Amak are available in Cold Bay, but for access to the Aleutian Islands, a permit is required from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service.</p><br>
<h2>Geography and geology</h2><br>
<p>Amak Island lies in the Bering Sea, north of the main archipelago of the Aleutians. It is one of two islands (along with Bogoslof Island) that are 31 mi north of the main range.</p><br>
<p>The United States has the most active volcanoes in the world, many of them geologically young.</p><br>
<p>In Alaska, at least 50 volcanoes, including those in the Aleutian archipelago, have erupted in historical time.</p><br>
<p>The state accounts for ~80% of the United States&#39; volcanoes, excluding the seamounts in the area, ~8% of world volcanoes, and most of these are located among the Aleutian Islands. The Aleutian Islands arc serves as the northern boundary of the Pacific Ring of Fire, where tectonic activity generates earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in masses.</p><br>
<p>The volcano is basaltic-andesitic in composition. It is a modest stratovolcano, rising no more than 1,683 ft above sea level. The volcanic crater is distinct, and has erupted in historical times, only "blocky" lava flows. Charles Wood and Jürgen Kienle, volcanologists, propose that earlier activity, 4,000–5,000 years ago, consisted primarily of lavas of ethereal (fine) platy and thick andesite. Amak Volcano is unique in that its andesitic lavas, while composed the same as the other Aleutians, contain an abundance of potash. They also could contain more sodium carbonate and rare-earth element deposits than the Aleutian norm. Between Bogoslof, the other Aleutian island north of the main arc, and Amak, Amak&#39;s lavas are more alkalic and silicic.</p><br>
<p>Glaciation took place around the volcano roughly 6700 years BP, carving out U-shaped valleys. At the southwest flank of the island, a crater, likely a maar, can be found amid an alluvial plain.</p><br>
<h3>Eruptive history</h3><br>
<p>The Amak Volcano has erupted three times in historical times: circa 2550 BC, from 1700–1710, and in 1796; the first of these events was identified with tephrochronology. Each eruption has been characterized by lava flows, and the two most recent eruptions included a crater eruption.</p><br>
<p>Ar-Qua Springs, also known as the Thomas Thornbrough House or the Thomas Thornburgh House was built beginning about 1751 near Arden, West Virginia. The house was built by local Quaker elder Thomas Thornbrough, beginning as a one-room, 1½ story limestone rubble house that was quickly expanded with log additions. The house may have been used as a Quaker meeting house during the 18th century.</p><br>
<p>The house in its present state is two stories in five bays with sections of stone and log. A gambrel roof was added to create additional living space on the second floor. The house has been largely unaltered, apart from the 1960s removal of an attached washhouse and fireplace. The original stone section comprises a single room on the lower level with a fireplace, and two rooms on the upper level. The log section contains on its lower level a dining room, den, kitchen, bathroom and laundry. Its upper level contains two bedrooms, a bathroom and a family room. The house pictured is not the actual house.</p><br>
<p>The property includes a two-level stone springhouse. Ar-Qua Springs was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>The Harvey P. Sutton House, also known as the H.P. Sutton House, is a six-bedroom, 4,000 ft&sup2; Frank Lloyd Wright designed Prairie School home at 602 Norris Avenue in McCook, Nebraska. Although the house is known by her husband&#39;s name, Eliza Sutton was the driving force behind the commissioning of Wright for the design in 1905-1907 and the construction of the house in 1907-1908.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>The Suttons get established in McCook</h3><br>
<p>Harvey P. Sutton was born in Naples, New York on July 17, 1860, the son of Joel C. and Sarah (Robinson) Sutton. Educated in Michigan, he became a successful musician in Chicago, but suffered such poor health that he decided he needed to leave. Flipping a coin to determine whether to travel east or west, he moved to Ainsworth in north central Nebraska. There he courted Elizabeth B. Munson, and married Eliza, as she was known, on August 4, 1886. Harvey had left Chicago not long before Frank Lloyd Wright arrived in that burgeoning metropolis, yet 20 years later he and Eliza would become Wright&#39;s clients.</p><br>
<p>The Suttons relocated to McCook in southern Nebraska in 1889, soon after their son Harold was born. Part of the lure of McCook was an opportunity for Harvey to lead the prestigious C.B.& Q. Railroad Concert Band, headquartered there but known throughout the state. The Pawnee Native Americans who had previously occupied the land had been forced to give up the Republican River valley in 1833, but McCook was not founded on its banks until 1882 when the railroad came through. The choice of McCook as a major point on the railroad, and as the headquarters of the concert band, were both due to its being midway from Omaha to Denver.</p><br>
<p>Mr. Sutton led the band from 1889–1924, but although he enjoyed his musical career, he needed to earn more money. He followed the example of his brother, Benjamin, who had previously established a successful jewelry business in Dexter, Michigan. Harvey prospered as McCook&#39;s only jewelry store proprietor, later taking his son Harold into the business as his partner in 1908.</p><br>
<h3>The Suttons build a house</h3><br>
<p>The couple acquired a small house seven blocks north of the railroad on the hill overlooking downtown, at what was then known as 602 Main Street. They eventually decided that the house needed to be enlarged. Rather than hiring an informal remodeling job, the Suttons opted to pursue Frank Lloyd Wright as their architect. The connection to Wright was through Elizas friends, Rose Barnes and Mary S. Marlan. Barnes saw the two designs of Wrights published in the Ladies Home Journal in 1901, and showed them to Marlan, who had grown up in Wisconsin and known Wright.</p><br>
<p>The 1901 Ladies&#39; Home Journal designs were influential and have become famous. "A Home in a Prairie Town" was published in February, followed by "A Small House with Lots of Room in It" in July. These were part of a series of designs sponsored by Journal editor Edward W. Bok in a crusade to update US housing designs to better fit the way families were living. Bok was looking for a simplified, functional house, and required designs he published to replace the fussy parlor with a living room, to include at least one bathroom, improved ventilation, and no "senseless ornament". Architectural historian Gwendolyn Wright observes that the publication of these two articles "provided the first opportunity for Frank Lloyd Wright to show his alchemy, converting a simple programme into architectural gold.... The design contains virtually every revolutionary theme he would employ for the next two decades."</p><br>
<p>Grant Manson notes that, although these two Ladies&#39; Home Journal designs were "accorded the widest publicity then possible" and were subsequently to exercise lasting influence on residential design, they resulted in no commissions for Wright, "with one exception, the Sutton house at McCook, Nebraska."</p><br>
<p>Mrs. Rose Barnes and her husband Charles were the first to contact Wright, but Eliza was also interested. Donald Morgan states that in 1903, Charles traveled by train to see Wright in his Oak Park Studio, accompanied by Mrs. Sutton. By 1905, Wright had produced plans for Charles and Rose. Eliza was impressed with these plans, and not only wrote Wright on her own behalf but also informed Wright that the Barnes had decided not to pursue building.</p><br>
<p>Mrs. Sutton began her several years of corresponding with Wrights studio by asking Wright to design an enlargement for the Suttons existing house for no more than $2000. Besides Wright, she corresponded with many in Wrights Oak Park Studio, including Walter Burley Griffin, William Drummond, Barry Byrne, Isabel Roberts, and A.C. Tobin (brother of Wrights wife, Catherine). With the exception of Tobin, all would go on to independent careers as Prairie School architects.</p><br>
<p>Eliza Sutton repeatedly and pointedly asked Wright to be economical. She rejected two plans that incorporated portions of their existing home as not having enough space yet being too expensive, and finally abandoned the idea of salvaging any of the previous house. Eliza eventually agreed to a third design that included all of the six bedrooms she had insisted on from the beginning, making it one of the largest houses in McCook. Wright estimated it would cost $5,000, yet the Suttons ultimately paid $10,000 and were furious. The experience of going well over budget was one shared by most of Wrights clients. Grant Manson puts it kindly when he observes that "Wrights genius was never at home in the realm of the merely economical". More bluntly, Paul Sprague states that "Wright either misrepresented the true cost of his designs, or else simply was unable to ascertain their real cost in advance of construction." Sprague doubts that it was deliberate, and concludes that, although Wright routinely blamed contractors and workers for the over-runs, he was in fact a victim of his approach to architecture. "Even when Wright tried to design simply and inexpensively the artist in him refused to cooperate."</p><br>
<h3>Subsequent history</h3><br>
<p>The Suttons altered the house during their tenure. Eliza Sutton seriously considered adding a library to the house in 1924, but ultimately decided against it. The house suffered a fire in 1932. Of unknown origin, it started in the basement and destroyed the original veranda roof and caused extensive damage to many of the original furnishings. Unable to determine how the highly cantilevered roof had been anchored in the house, local builders changed its location and proportions and added large plastered columns to support its extension. Later, during World War II, the Suttons added stairs up to the balcony in the northeast corner above the main floor bedroom, added a downstairs bathroom, and made alterations to the second floor in order to house Army Air Corps personnel from the nearby air base who needed temporary quarters.</p><br>
<p>Harvey and Eliza Sutton died in 1952, and in 1960 Dr. J. Harold Donaldson purchased the house. Donaldson converted the structure into his medical clinic, making numerous further alterations counter to Wright&#39;s design. These included constructing a small brick addition on the north (rear) side for use as a diagnostic clinic, replacing the original roof with asphalt shingles, and blocking the original entrance into the reception room, using instead the previously private veranda door into what had been the living room. Donaldson also erected a wall of decorative concrete block around the entire property that incorporated lily pools, fish ponds, statues, and fountains featuring cherubs pouring water from vases. However, the changes that were most damaging to the historical fabric of the house involved filling in doors, cutting through oak floors, and adding walls to divide the flowing, interconnected interior into 24 small rooms.</p><br>
<p>Although Donaldson applied for the house to be placed on the National Register of Historic Places, the fate of the house was uncertain when he retired in 1978. At first, Donaldson tried to sell it by auction, but there were no takers. Facing ongoing upkeep and taxes, Donaldson looked into moving it to Lincoln or Omaha, where tourist interest might be stronger. As a last resort, he considered tearing it down and replacing it with an apartment building.</p><br>
<p>Janet and Van Korrell purchased the house when the Cannons left in 1992. Janet had been fascinated with the Frank Lloyd Wright designed house for some time, and they quickly tore off the enclosed staircase that the Suttons had added 50 years earlier to get up to the balcony on the back. Determined to restore it as fully as possible, in 1999 they hired John G. Thorpe to oversee the work. Thorpe, a Wright expert, restoration architect, and one of the founders of the Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust in Oak Park, Illinois, worked with the original plans and old photos on a complete restoration inside and out, including the Wright-designed cupboards, the ground-level entry, and the daring cantilevered veranda roof. As part of this work, the Korrells elected to build an addition in the previously open northwest corner, balancing the original northeast corner bedroom but moving away from Wright&#39;s cruciform design. This addition incorporates a modern laundry and a second stairway to the basement.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The house as built is a classic Prairie Style design, consisting of a two-story frame and stucco dwelling.</p><br>
<p>All three designs for the Suttons used a cruciform plan, and Robert McCarter cites them as "astonishing variations" on this classic Prairie style layout. The unbuilt first plan was single story with gables, and had the dining room in the west arm of the cross, the library in the opposite east arm, and the living room in the center projecting out into the landscape. The second plan was a "fully developed prairie style solution" with a low-pitched hip roof. In this second design, Wright placed the fireplace in the center of the cruciform, surrounded by a room in each arm and "the space of all four rooms flowing freely around" the hearth.</p><br>
<p>In the third plan, which was finally approved by Mrs. Sutton, the dining room is once again in the west, the reception room in the east, and the living room in the center. However, the three rooms are now all equally wide front to back and the fireplace moved forward from the rear (north) wall, causing the living room to project forward. McCarter calls this an "impacted cruciform" where Wright&#39;s usual cruciform is "folded in on itself, producing an experiential density and tension between the space-defining elements." As a result, the main floor boasts a gracious sweep of the three public rooms, becoming in effect one very large space. In this it bears stylistic similarities to the K. C. DeRhodes House in South Bend and the George Barton House in Buffalo, New York, of this same time period. The kitchen is behind the fireplace in the north arm of the cross, and the sixth bedroom occupies the northeast corner that would be empty in a pure cruciform plan.</p><br>
<p>The narrow axis of the plan faces the street to the east, and the main entrance lies midway along the long side of the plan. The use of hip roofs includes a very large cantilevered hip roof over the living room terrace. The pitch of the main hip roof is shallow enough to give the passer-by on the sidewalk in front of the house the impression that it is a flat roof.</p><br>
<p>The ornamental glass "light screens" in this house were designed by Wright with the assistance of Oak Park Studio draughtswoman, Isabel Roberts, who would later become an architect in her own right. They were fabricated by the Temple Art Glass Company of Chicago, which was the same firm Wright had just used for his renowned Unity Temple (Oak Park, Illinois, 1905).</p><br>
<p>The Sutton House is a private residence, and should be viewed only from the public sidewalks.</p><br>

<p>Coker Court is a substantial manor house in East Coker, Somerset, England. It was built in the fifteenth and eighteenth centuries and has been designated as a Grade I listed building. It was erected by the Courtney family who were lords of the manor and rectors of the adjacent parish church. The building is constructed from locally quarried Hamstone with roofs composed of stone tiles.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Courtney family were lords of the manor in the 14th and 15th centuries and appointed the rectors of the adjacent St Michael and All Angels&#39; Church. They built the present building, on the site of an earlier house during the early part of the 15th century. In 1616 it was bought by archdeacon Helyar who added to the structure of the building. William Helyar supported the king during the English Civil War. His descendent, another William Helyar, was Member of Parliament for Somerset in 1715. The Helyar family owned sugar plantations in Jamaica. The 18th-century portion was built by Sir William Chambers. The house is now divided into several properties.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Coker Court is a manor house, constructed in the fifteenth century and now divided into several units. Major additions were made in the eighteenth century and further extensions in around 1900. The house is constructed of locally quarried Hamstone rubble with ashlar dressings, with roofs of stone tiles between coped gables. The extension is rendered and has a hipped roof. The chimney stacks are of stone, some of them rendered. The north front is the earliest part of the building, and has seven bays. The east front is the eighteenth century structure and also has seven bays. To the south and west is the four-bay extension erected around 1900 as servants quarters, and now a separate dwelling house.</p><br>
<p>On the north front, bay 1 is the end of the eighteenth century addition and has a blind Venetian window while bay 2 has an oriel window, the two arched windows having tracery and diamond leaded panes. Bay 2 is separated from bay 3 by an angled buttress, and further full height buttresses separate bays 3, 4 and 5, which each have similar windows. Bay 6 has a projecting porch and is separated from bay 7 by another buttress. Bay 7 has twentieth century mullioned windows. The interior of the house has some interesting features including Chinese wallpaper and laquerwork in some upstairs rooms. The house is a Grade I listed building, and the listing particulars state that it is "A very fine example in which either major portion would merit the high grading".</p><br>

<p>Naish Priory in East Coker, Somerset, England, contains portions of a substantial house dating from the mid 14th century to around 1400. Emery says the building was not a priory as it had been termed by the late 19th century owner Troyte Chafyn Grove, and there appears no evidence of ownership by a religious house or the residence of a large community of monks on the site. However, there is evidence of a dormitory and communal living dating from the 14th century, and the extant buildings grew on a foundation that had religious obligations by way of chantry to the de Courtenay Earls of Devon from at least 1344. It has been designated as a Grade I listed building, with the attached Priory Cottage and northern boundary railings.</p><br>
<p>Naish Priory and surrounding farm land (“Naish”) is a medieval period establishment of Romano–British and Saxon origin, sited directly equidistant between two Roman Villas. During Saxon times it formed part of the estate of Gytha Thorkelsdóttir, which passed to her son Harold II of England as part of his royal manor, and it was a significant journey stop on the important route from Winchester, Salisbury and Shaftesbury into Devon and Cornwall.</p><br>
<p>The extant 14th century buildings evidence primary links to the important de Courtenay family of the medieval period, Earls of Devon, close blood relatives of the Plantagenet, Lancastrian and Tudor kings, and one of the most important English Renaissance families. They had received rights of the royal Coker Manor via the de Redvers and de Mandeville families who had been given the estates by William II of England after the Norman Conquest that led to their confiscation from Harold Godwinson King of England and his mother. Hutton claimed that the “venerable” Naish was site of the original Coker Manor House of the de Mandeville family.</p><br>
<p>Naish&#39;s local and national historic significance is only now, after its Grade 1 listing in 1961 to protect it from encroachment by Yeovil’s expansion, beginning to be fully assessed. Naish has been restored since the end of the 19th century and is maintained as a Grade 1 listed unified dwelling.</p><br>
<h2>Buildings and foundation</h2><br>
<p>The original building work of what stands today at Naish Priory is directly linked to Sir Peter Courtenay (1346–1404), a Knight of the Garter and Royal Household and Constable of Windsor Castle, Lord of East Coker, and his brother William Courtenay (1342–1396) who was Archbishop of Canterbury from 1381 to 1396 and Lord Chancellor of England in 1381 and Sir Peter’s tenant at Naish from 1392. Archbishop William de Courtenay was also responsible for major contemporaneous building work at Christ Church, Canterbury and the foundation at Maidstone College. These De Courtenay brothers were very significant political players on the national stage during the turbulent reigns of Edward III of England and Richard II of England, which resulted in Henry of Lancaster usurping the throne in 1399 to become Henry IV of England. Also significant to completion of the 14th/15th century work at Naish was their younger de Courtenay brother Sir Philip Courtenay, Richard II’s Lord Lieutenant of Ireland and High Admiral of the Western Seas, who took over from William the Archbishop as Peter’s tenant at Naish when William the Archbishop died in 1396.</p><br>
<p>The building work itself from this period is local ham stone adorned with fan tracery, Oriel window, octagonal chimneys, a pointed arch with oak door and heraldic carving, and a chapel with squint and great east window, flanked by stone carved corbelled heads. It is in the gothic perpendicular court style popularised by William Wynford and his colleague Henry Yevele. Until 1405 Wynford was supervising the building the Church of St John the Baptist, Yeovil, which is approximately 2.5 mi from Naish Priory. Wynford was also responsible for building Winchester College and New College, Oxford for William of Wykeham, who was William Courtenay&#39;s erstwhile colleague and friend.</p><br>
<p>The foundation of the establishment now seen at Naish Priory is also earlier linked to Archbishop William and Sir Peter Courtenay’s father, Hugh de Courtenay, 2nd Earl of Devon previous Lord of Coker, who was High Admiral of the West Seas and married to Margaret de Bohun, 2nd Countess of Devon, niece of King Edward II. The De Bohun family was the leading patron of illuminated manuscript work in England in the 14th Century. Margaret died in 1391 in her eighties a significant matriarch, having had seventeen children by Huw de Courtenay.</p><br>
<p>The earlier endowment by Huw the 2nd Earl of Devon, of Naish and surrounding land in East Coker, as part of a chantry for his family’s souls, took place in 1344, and is evidenced by charter. Naish became a site of worship separate to St Michael’s Church in East Coker and housed several clerics devoted to the chantry of the family. It is probable that it encompassed facilities for the education of talented local children of little means, as provided for in Margaret de Bohun’s will.</p><br>
<p>Corbelled heads and gargoyles from around 1400, such as the rare toad "beast of Botreaux" which signifies the de Bohun family, stand on the outer walls of Naish Priory, evidencing the contemporaneous links between the building and the de Courtenay and de Bohun families, as well as those families&#39; close blood ties and allegiance with Henry IV and the House of Lancaster who replaced the Plantagenet Kings in 1399. In particular the corbelled heads which stand either side of the great East window have been identified as those of Henry IV and Joan of Navarre, Queen of England who were married in 1403.</p><br>
<p>Naish is surrounded by rich Grade 1 farm land which contains significant trees, waterways, ancient hedgerows, hollows with sunken roads and paths.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The original buildings at Naish, together with surrounding Grade 1 farm land to be worked for an income in perpetuity, were dedicated by Huw de Courtenay 2nd Earl of Devon in 1344 to the remembrance and prayer for the souls of his family. They were close kinsmen and blood relations of the Plantagenet and Lancastrian kings of England, with great local and national responsibilities during the 14th and 15th centuries. These generations were the most important of the de Courtenay family, and their members occupied many of the most influential court, chivalric, military, religious and political roles in England at crucial times in the development of England during the late medieval period.</p><br>
<p>Both Huw the 2nd Earl and his son Philip were High Admirals of the West Seas, in charge of commandeering the English Channel fleet west of the Thames, and specifically the defence of the south and west coasts of England from French invasion during the Hundred Years War. They are the origin of Yeovils long connection with procurement for the Royal Navy. The farm land at Naish produced hemp yarn sold into the Coker manor consignments for the navy in the 1350s. Unfortunately the areas seafaring connections meant that Coker was among the first Somerset areas to be struck by the Black Death (bubonic plague) which spread west along the south coast with shipping and then inland with those associated. Huw de Courtenay the 2nd Earl of Devon&#39;s son and heir, also Huw, a great military champion died of plague in 1349 at Forde Abbey on his way from Coker to Devon.</p><br>
<h2>De Courtenays at Naish</h2><br>
<p>In 1392 after his mother’s death William Courtenay the Archbishop of Canterbury formally took possession of Naish, in East Coker, from his brother Peter, along with the rest of the Burrell’s Mill estate that mainly lay in West Coker and was therefore then formally the domain of his nephew Edward the 3rd Earl.</p><br>
<h2>Later years</h2><br>
<p>The Wars of the Roses in the mid 15th century destroyed the de Courtenay family’s unity, as part of the Bonville-Courtenay Feud, with cousin turning against cousin and the challenge to their power in Devon from the Bonville family taking its toll. Nevertheless, the foundation at Naish continued in the same form.</p><br>
<p>It appears that some Tudor alterations of Naish to a more secular country house with chapel took place during that lease. Naish seems to have been occupied during this time by his younger brother James de Courtenay who is responsible for the alteration to a country house, perhaps as the family was rehabilitated under Henry VIII of England.</p><br>
<p>Works at Naish in the Victorian era added a south western wing, a second storey to the central section, modified the cloister and added a galleried staircase tower to the south of the eastern end to provide the house greater accommodation and amenity. Above the gatehouse an important original Oriel window remains. In 2007 the house was put up for sale at a price of £1.775 million.</p><br>
<p>Its current occupant is Marcus Fysh.</p><br>
<h2>Names</h2><br>
<p>Naish Priory has variously in its long history been known as La Aisshe, L’Aisshe, Naysshe, Naysshe Ferme, Nayssh, Nayshe, Nasshe, Naysh, Naysh Manor, Old Mansion Nash, Nash Court, Nash Farm, Nash Abbey, Nash Priory, Naish Priory. Its unique and complex history has led to many different interpretations including what would appear to be the current potential misnomer of Naish Priory.</p><br>
<p>The Hanging Chapel  in Langport, Somerset, England is a 13th-century archway, bearing a Perpendicular building known as the hanging chapel. It has been designated as a Grade I listed building, and a Scheduled Ancient Monument.</p><br>
<p>Excavation in the 1990s showed that the gateway and chapel had been built on the site of a Saxon bank around the town. The archway is all that remains of the east gate of the defended town. The archway which goes over the former main road takes the form of a pointed barrel vault.</p><br>
<p>After the Reformation, having served as the chapel of the tradesmen&#39;s guild of Langport who also formed the Corporation, it became the Town Hall in 1570,</p><br>
<p>It was given by the corporation to the trustees of Thomas Gilletts free grammar school, and underwent repairs in 1706 and 1716 to house the towns grammar school, which had been founded in 1675. The grammar school used the premises until 1790, and the chapel was then used as a Sunday school from 1818 to 1827.</p><br>
<p>It then became the Quekett museum, named after John Thomas Quekett (1815–61) the histologist, one of the sons of William Quekett, master of Langport Grammar School, holding Edward Quekett&#39;s collection of stuffed birds from 1834 to 1875. It has also been an armoury.</p><br>
<p>The hanging chapel became a masonic hall in 1891, and is currently leased by the town council to the Portcullis Lodge.</p><br>
<p>In 1998 long scars, 10 mm to 15 mm deep, were left in the archway when it was hit by a lorry, although no structural damage occurred.</p><br>
<p>The Boomtown Historic District comprises the western and southern portions of Martinsburg, West Virginia, generally along the alignments of West King Street and Winchester Avenue, following the general path of the town&#39;s electric streetcar system. It includes a former industrial section of the town, home to a number of textile mills, as well as the housing that was built for mill workers.</p><br>
<p>Boomtown&#39;s central core is along Virginia, West Virginia and Faulkner Avenues, centering on the fountain at Virginia and Faulkner. The area consists of primarily middle-class Victorian-style houses, in contrast to the more modest working-class houses on the opposite side of Winchester Avenue. The greatest building activity took place after 1891, when the Martinsburg Mining and Manufacturing Company developed the area in conjunction with the opening of streetcar service.</p><br>
<p>Industrial buildings include the former homes of the Shenandoah Pants Company, Brooklyn Brass Works and the Interwoven Mills. The Crawford Woolen and Cashmere Mills stand along Stephen Street.</p><br>
<p>The area was designated a historic district in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The Hancock County Courthouse is a historic courthouse in Findlay, Ohio, United States. Built between 1886 and 1888, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. The building, as planned in 1885, was to replace a previous brick courthouse located at the same site. When oil and natural gas were discovered in Hancock County shortly thereafter, the Courthouse was given many of its unique and eclectic stylings. On April 17, 1885 the Ohio Legislature authorized the construction of a new courthouse for Hancock County, raising $100,000 in bonds. The cornerstone was laid on August 11, 1886. W.H. Campfield won the initial bid to construct the courthouse enclosure and that was completed by November 1886. Campfield again won the bid for the completion of the project. Amidst delays the project soared from an estimate of $121,890.25 to $305,272.53 .</p><br>
<p>The building measures 82 feet by 142 feet and is 139.5 feet tall from the sidewalk to the top of the county&#39;s namesake and Founding Father John Hancock. The Hancock statue is made of copper and stands next to a pedestal with a law book upon the clock tower. It stands approximately 18 feet tall. In September 1922, during a severe storm the statue was blown off the courthouse and extensively damaged. It was repaired the following year. Below John Hancock sit the three feminine figures, Law, Justice, and Mercy, also made out of copper. The clock tower itself has four faces pointing towards each cardinal direction. Each face measures between 8 and 9 feet in diameter. Originally these clocks had a pendulum, 3000 lb bell, and were hand wound until 1925 when they were electrified. The clock faces and inner works were constructed by the E. Howard & Co.</p><br>
<p>During the 1990s the courthouse underwent an extensive $3 million restoration. The brass railings to both the second and third floors are original to the structure, as well as the brass medallions below the bannisters. Also the ornately tiled floors, floral motif stained glass, and the imposing early Victorian woodwork is original.</p><br>
<p>It currently houses the Hancock County Common Pleas Court, Clerk of Courts, Law Library, Recorders, Auditors, and Treasurer&#39;s offices.</p><br>
<p>North Cadbury Court in North Cadbury, Somerset, England is a country house built around 1580-1610, by Sir Francis Hastings. It has been designated as a Grade I listed building.</p><br>
<p>Hastings bought North Cadbury from his older brother Henry Hastings, 3rd Earl of Huntingdon. He had lived on the estate for several years previously while he managed his brothers estates in the Southwest. After Franciss wife Magdalene died in 1596, Hastings sold the court with the rest of the manor to Matthew Ewens, one of the Barons of the Exchequer. His great-nephew, also called Matthew Ewens, sold the manor to Arthur Duck. The house and estate was subsequently bought by Richard Newman c.1620; the Newman family owned it until around 1796 when it was bought by the Bennett family. Around 1800 the courtyard was turned into a ballroom and the south façade rebuilt in Georgian style.</p><br>
<p>In 1910 the court was bought by Sir Archibald Langman and remains in his family. It is currently available to rent for private parties and weddings, and has 25 bedrooms and 19 bathrooms.</p><br>
<p>During the 1980s the interior fittings and decoration of the adjacent Church of St Michael were damaged beyond repair. The local sculptor John Robinson designed modern figures to replace them. Some controversy arose about the figures and they were eventually placed on the wall of the stables at North Cadbury Court which overlooks the churchyard.</p><br>
<p>The Boydville Historic District includes an area of Martinsburg, West Virginia that was developed for the well-to-do of Martinsburg at the turn of the twentieth century. The district is named for Boydville, the mansion at the core of the district. The district runs generally along South Queen Street to the south of the Downtown Martinsburg Historic District and to the east of the Boomtown Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The district is associated with a number of figures from the early history of Martinsburg, including General Elisha Boyd, who owned portions of the area in the 1790s, as well as General Adam Stephen, founder of Martinsburg. The principal building in the area is the Boydville mansion, built about 1812. Other significant buildings include the Public Graded School of 1883, now the headquarters for the Berkeley County Board of Education, the Classical Revival 517 South Queen Street, and the Adam Stephen Monument.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>Green Mountain Seminary is a historic seminary building on Hollow Road in Waterbury Center, Vermont. Built in 1869 as a Free Will Baptist coeducational school, it has seen educational uses since its construction, and is a prominent local example of Italianate architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Green Mountain Seminary stands on a rise overlooking Hollow Road to the west, just north of the main intersection at the center of Waterbury Center. It is a 3-1/2 story wood frame structure built in a T shape, with a cross-gabled roof, clapboarded exterior, and a high stone foundation. The building corners are quoined, and the entrances are sheltered by a hoods with elaborate scrolled brackets. The eaves and gable edges also feature paired brackets. The building originally had a cupola at the center of the roof, but that was torn down in 1941.</p><br>
<p>The seminary building was built in 1869 as a co-educational Free Will Baptist school, with an addition to the south facing part of the structure completed in 1871. As originally laid out, the lower two floors were used for educational purposes and included a chapel, while the third floor and attic level were used for men&#39;s housing. The building went through a variety of educational and boarding uses until 1895, when it was deeded to the town for use as a graded school building. Between 1947 and 1952 the building was the meeting site for the Green Mountain Horology society, whose members restored the historic Riley Whiting grandfather clock. As of 2009 the building is home to the Hunger Mountain Day Care Center and the Waterbury Center Library.</p><br>
<p>Boydville is a late Georgian style mansion in Martinsburg, West Virginia. The house is near the center of the associated Boydville Historic District in 15.35 acre. The house was built in 1812 by Elisha Boyd, a member of the Virginia House of Delegates and an officer of the Fourth Virginia Regiment in the War of 1812.</p><br>
<p>The two story stucco-covered stone house consists of a center wing with nine rooms, a right wing that originally served as the nursery, and a left wing that housed the kitchens. The center-hall main house retains its original woodwork, with hand-carved door frames and mantelpieces imported from England. Interior partitions are brick covered with plaster.</p><br>
<p>Elisha Boyd left the house to his daughter Mary at his death in 1841. Mary was married to Charles J. Faulkner I (1806-1884), was a member of the Virginia House of Delegates who advocated a gradual abolition of slavery and the forcible annexation of Texas from Mexico. Faulkner served as ambassador to France in the James Buchanan administration, 1859-1861. Faulkner was Stonewall Jacksons assistant adjutant-general during the American Civil War, and was temporary president of the West Virginia Constitutional Convention of 1872. Faulkners son, Charles J. Faulkner II (1847-1929) became a United States Senator.</p><br>
<p>During the American Civil War Boydville and two other houses were marked for burning by General David Hunter in retaliation for the burning of Maryland Governor Bradfords house. On an hours notice Mary Faulkner obtained an exemption from Abraham Lincoln, saving the house.</p><br>
<p>Boydville was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.</p><br>

<p>In addition, Boydville lends its name to a metaphorical location that is said to store all things Boyd, or otherwise unsound interactive initiatives when referred to in the context of digital art & computational or generative design.</p><br>
<p>The Caroaebe River (sometimes incorrectly referred to as the Caroebe River which is further south. The bulk of the actual Rio Caroebe is located to the southwest of the map-coordinate at 01&deg;00&prime;N latitude, 60&deg;00&prime;W longitude indicated by the map-grid.</p><br>
<p>) is a river of Roraima state in northern Brazil, near the equator.</p><br>
<h4>Geography</h4><br>
<p>The headwaters are at approximately 00&deg;55&prime;N latitude, 59&deg;45&prime;W longitude between the towns of Caroebe and São João da Baliza, on the northern side of the connecting roadway BR-210. The river flows westward to approximately 01&deg;10&prime;N latitude, 60&deg;05&prime;W longitude where it merges with the larger Anauá River, just prior to the Majada waterfall which is to the north of São Luiz.</p><br>
<h4>Ecology</h4><br>
<p>Along the river, biologists have studied species of black flies (Simulium guianense and Simulium litobranchium, see Simulium) which carry a parasite that causes river-blindness.</p><br>
<p>Dayton&#39;s Corners School is a one-room school building in the town of Penfield, New York. Erected in 1857, it sits at the corner of Plank Road and Creek Street and was part of Penfield District #9. It is the only one-room school house in the area that is still standing and has not been converted to some other use.</p><br>
<p>The building was part of the Webster Central School District between 1948 and 1991, although it was only used as a schoolhouse until the early 1960s. The building has been maintained by Penfield&#39;s recreation department since 1976; it was purchased by the town in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The original school grounds are adjacent to the school building. The school and its grounds are used by fourth-grade teachers in the Penfield Central School District and other local school districts as part of the state-mandated local history curriculum.</p><br>
<p>The red brick building was designated a Penfield Landmark in 1983 and added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 5, 2001.</p><br>
<p>A coloring book called "A Day at Daytons Corners" was created in 2010 as part of the town of Penfields bicentennial celebrations.</p><br>
<p>The Poxim River  is a river of Sergipe state in northeastern Brazil. The river runs through the sertão region of Sergipe. Its upper reaches are occupied by sugarcane farms  and pastures  and its mouth by an industrial zone. Almost all vegetation in the basin of the river and its tributaries has been removed, resulting in little diversity of flora and fauna in the region.</p><br>
<p>In the colonial period sugarcane plantations, notably the Engenho Poxim, were located along the river and it was used for both irrigation and transportation. Numerous ruins related to sugarcane plantations are located near the river. The Chapel of Our Lady of the Conception of Engenho Poxim, now deserted, is a national heritage site located along a tributary of the river.</p><br>
<p>Rib Lake is a long and narrow lake in the Town of Latchford and in the Municipality of Temagami in Northeastern Ontario, Canada, located about 9 km southeast of the centre of the community of Latchford and 9 km northeast of the community of Temagami North. The lake is in the Ottawa River drainage basin and is the main access for canoeists en route to Rib Mountain.</p><br>
<p>The lake was originally called Gitchiway-Pigigonaysing by the Teme-Augama Anishnabai, meaning Big Rib Lake.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The lake is about 10 km long north to south and 1.2 km wide east to west. With the exception of the very southern tip, the lake is in the South Part of geographic Gillies Limit Township in Timiskaming District, today part of the town of Latchford; the southern tip is in geographic Best Township in Nipissing District, today part of the municipality of Temagami.</p><br>
<p>There are ten creek inflows: one at the north end of the lake from Johnson Lake; four on the east side, from an unnamed pond, Roosevelt Lake, Cliff Lake and an unnamed lake from north to south; one from unnamed lakes at Murphy&#39;s Bay at the southeast end; four on the west side, two from unnamed ponds, from Whitney Lake and an unnamed pond from north to south. The primary outflow is Net Creek, towards Petrault Lake, at the southwest corner of the lake, which eventually flows via Net Lake, Cassels Lake, Rabbit Lake, the Matabitchuan River, Lake Timiskaming, and the Ottawa River into the Saint Lawrence River.</p><br>
<h2>Transportation</h2><br>
<p>The Ontario Northland Railway mainline runs along the entire west side of the lake; the stops/settlements of Freeman and Rib Lake are on west shore. Ontario Highway 11 (Frontier Route) and the TransCanada pipeline run just west of the lake.</p><br>
<p>Francis Peak, Elevation 9,560 ft, was named in honor of an early pioneer, Esther Charlotte Emily Weisbrodt Francis, who contributed to the colonization of the Morgan Valley in Morgan county in Utah. One of the taller peaks of the Wasatch Range, Francis Peak is located on the border between Morgan and Davis counties, approximately 18 mi north of Salt Lake City, Utah, United States.</p><br>
<p>The summit is accessible by hiking, biking, recreational vehicles, and automobile. Automobiles can access the peak via Skyline Drive in Bountiful and Farmington Canyon Road in Farmington. Camping sites, trails, small ponds, wildlife and great vistas are part of this rugged natural setting.</p><br>
<h2>Elevation Dispute</h2><br>
<p>USA Geological Survey lists Francis Peak as 9,547 feet above sea level. However, that was before the 1950s construction adding two radar domes. The natural height there now is 9,515 feet. The base of the radar facility adds 55 feet and the domes chip in 60 feet more for a total extra artificial height of 115 feet and a grand total of 9,630 feet above sea level.</p><br>
<p>Wigborough Manor House in South Petherton, Somerset, England was partly built in 1585 although never completed to the original designs and subsequently modified. It has been designated as a Grade I listed building.</p><br>
<p>The estate was shared by members of the Brome Family from 1581 to 1615, when it passed to the family of Hele of Flete who held it for most of the 17th century.</p><br>
<p>The house is built of local Ham stone with Welsh slate roofs. Dendochronology of the wood forming the tie beam-and-Collar beam trusses of the roof has shown that a construction date of 1585 is more likely than the previous estimates which suggested an earlier date.</p><br>
<p>A two-storey house in the grounds, was originally a brewhouse or dairy. It was built in the 19th century. There is also a former coach house from the 18th century. The cider house includes cellars and a loft. There are also various barns and stables, part of which is from 1765. The boundary wall has sections which date from the 16th century however much of it was rebuilt in the 18th and 19th centuries.</p><br>
<p>The Vaux Park Polo Club has its headquarters at Wigborough Manor.</p><br>
<p>The Tracy House is a Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Usonian automatic home that was constructed in Normandy Park, Washington, a suburb near Seattle, in 1956.</p><br>
<p>The house, like other Wright-designed Usonian automatics, is composed of concrete blocks that is broken up by glass and redwood plywood. The Tracy House is 1,150 ft&sup2; and has three bedrooms and one bathroom as well as a two-car garage; the lot itself is 31,000 ft&sup2; and faces the Puget Sound.</p><br>
<p>The Tracy House was built for Bill and Elizabeth Tracy, who occupied it until the latter&#39;s death in 2012; the property was listed on the real estate market for the first time at a price of $950,000.</p><br>
<p>In 2011, Seattle Met named it one of the ten greatest homes in the Seattle area.</p><br>
<p>The Manor House in West Coker, Somerset, England has medieval origins, however the earliest surviving portions of the current building probably date from around 1500. It has been designated as a Grade I listed building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The earlier manor house on the site, which may have been built around 1308, was destroyed by fire in the 1457, and rebuilt with local Hamstone between 1473 and 1500. The fire was started by an "armed mob" led by the local rector as part of a dispute between local families of the House of Courtenay who were Earls of Devon then led by Thomas de Courtenay, 5th/13th Earl of Devon and the Bonville family led by William Bonville, 1st Baron Bonville.</p><br>
<p>The house was acquired by the Portman Family of Orchard Portman in 1591 who remodelled it around 1600 and held it until 1829 by which time it was a tenanted farmhouse owned by Edward Portman, 1st Viscount Portman. The house was purchased by an architect, John Moore, in 1866, who carried out various restoration and rebuilding until he died, when the work was continued by his brother and sons.</p><br>
<p>In 1907 Matthew Nathan, a soldier and colonial administrator, who variously served as the Governor of Sierra Leone, Gold Coast, Hong Kong, Natal and Queensland, bought the Manor House. Many politicians and other members of The Establishment visited him at the house. He lived there until his death in 1939. Sir Aston Webb or his son Maurice Webb, rebuilt the South East wing for Nathan in 1910, and the house was profiled by Christopher Hussey in an early edition of Country Life magazine following the renovation and rebuilding. In 1935 Nathan allowed the grounds to be used by local scout groups during the celebrations of the silver jubilee of George V.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The two-storey house now has a "U" shaped plan following the additions to the original house in the 17th and 20th centuries. The west front is of six bays. Above the porch is the arms of the Portman family. Behind the porch is a screens passage leading to the hall and a staircase to a minstrels&#39; gallery. The hall has a arch braced collar beam trussed roof and a 15th century fireplace. The Portman Room has a frieze on the plaster ceiling and a heraldic overmantel above the fireplace.</p><br>
<p>Whitestaunton Manor in the village of Whitestaunton, Somerset, England was built in the 15th century as a Hall house and has been designated as a Grade I listed building. It consists of an east-west range with two wings which were added later.</p><br>
<p>The first record of the house dates from 1479 with dendrochronology showing roof timbers dating from 1447 to 1492. It has been altered and expanded several times since, including a major expansion in the 1570s. The stables and coach house were built in the 16th century and are now Garde II listed.</p><br>
<p>Excavations carried out in 1882, when the house was owned by Charles Isaac Elton, had identified a building, thought to be a Roman villa, which had been incorporated into the grounds, and designated as a Scheduled monument. In 2003 archaeological television programme Time Team carried out an excavation in the grounds, which discovered a Roman bath house.</p><br>
<p>During restoration work, between 2000 and 2011, a Hammerbeam roof was discovered above a Georgian ceiling. The roof dated from 1446 to 1478. It had been damaged by Death watch beetle. The work received an award for the work from the Wood Awards in 2008. Wooden paneling had also been damaged by Death watch and Common furniture beetle. It was removed and restored.</p><br>
<p>The Abbey Barn in Preston Plucknett, Yeovil, Somerset, England was built around 1420 by John Stourton , in conjunction with the Abbey Farm House. It has been designated as a Grade I listed building, and Scheduled Ancient Monument.</p><br>
<p>With an internal length of 31.4 m, it is the longest barn in Somerset.</p><br>
<p>It is now used as a building contractors showroom and store.</p><br>
<p>Until the late 1970s the building was an excellent example of a traditional thatched barn. Planning permission for redevelopment was refused several times by Yeovil Urban Council and its successor, South Somerset District Council. However, the thatch and supporting roof timbers were destroyed in the late 1970s by a major fire that was never satisfactorily explained. Following this, permission was given for the barn to be rebuilt into its current, stone-roofed form.</p><br>
<p>The Dogs  in Wincanton, Somerset, England was built around 1650 and has been designated as a Grade I listed building.</p><br>
<p>The name The Dogs refers to two stone greyhounds, which were previously used as finials on the gateposts, but these have since disappeared. They represented the arms of the Churchey family who were local the Lord of the Manor.</p><br>
<p>The two storey house was largely rebuilt in the 1740s by Nathaniel Ireson, It has a central range and two wings projecting towards the street. It has coped gables and ed windows. The house has elaborate scrolled cast iron gates.</p><br>
<p>William of Orange slept in one of the bedrooms for at least one night during the Glorious Revolution in 1688.</p><br>
<p>A Coachman&#39;s cottage was built for the house in 1838. In the 1930s a cinema was added by the owner of the house.</p><br>
<p>Lake Aricota  is a lake in Candarave Province, region of Tacna, Peru. It has an elevation of 2,800 m above sea level.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The lake originated when debris flows in steep canyon walls dammed the Callazas River. The waters of the lake are currently diverted to a hydroelectric plant, which has lowered the lake level from ~800.000 m in 1967 to a monthly average of 140.000 m in 2000. Main inflow sources of the lake are the Callazas River and the Jaruma creek. The main outflow is due to seepage through the debris dam to the Curibaya River (although hydroelectric use could count also).</p><br>
<p>Waters of Lake Aricota have a high arsenic content as the waters of Callazas River and Salado River (a tributary of Jaruma Creek) pass through the Yucamane volcanic area.</p><br>
<p>Lake Paca  is a lake in Peru. It is located 4 km north of the historic town of Jauja, which was once the first capital of Peru. The lake is habitat for a variety of flora and fauna. The lake is fed from springs.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Lake Paca is one of the three lakes in the Mantaro River Valley in the central highlands of Peru formed by high Cordillera ranges, which has three tributary valleys known as the Masma, the Paca and the Yanamarca. Laguna Paca is the only lake in the Paca valley which has water throughout the year. However, floating mats of rushes and sedges cover the south side of the lake. The lake itself does not drain out, as like the other lakes in the valleys, has been “filled up by interglacial fill, and alluvial and eolian sedimentation.” The river that originates in this valley, is called the Mantaro River. It flows near the Jauja town into a large alluvial plain. Formation of this region and its lake system is attributed to diverse sedimentary, glacial and tectonic activity. The valley formation is dated to the Late Pliocene and early Pleistocene uplift unconformity. Laguna de Paca covers an area of 21.4 km&sup2;.</p><br>
<p>The lake is located at an elevation of 3,418 m within the districts of Paca, Chunán and Pancán. The lake has a storage capacity of 85,500 m&sup3;. It is a popular tourist attraction visited by people from the Mantaro Valley and other regions of Peru.</p><br>
<p>The lake harbors a variety of wildlife, birds in particular. The introduced trout is found the lake, which is fished and served fried in restaurants located around the lake</p><br>
<h2>Historic culture</h2><br>
<p>The historic culture of the region represented as Huanca culture is seen in the precincts of the lake also, in the form of stone circular buildings, which are mostly in ruins. The west side of the lake has many popular restaurants catering to tourist traffic.</p><br>
<p>According to legend cited by Dennis Siluk, in addition to the city which was buried near Chupaea in the lake Ñawinpuyku, Laguna de Paca lake area was also a city where the Wanka culture, also known as the Huanca culture, flourished. It is conjectured that this culture existed even at the time of the birth of Christ. The legend of the lake has been further glorified by Dennis Siluk, the Poet Laureate of Peru, with the following verses of a poem.</p><br>
<p>Part one</p><br>
<p>I shall tell you a legend of long ago</p><br>
<p>Of the sunken city of La Laguna de Paca,</p><br>
<p>(Where I had met a lingering ghost)</p><br>
<p>Wherein this region of Huancayo-Peru</p><br>
<p>Truth lies, but only the soul knows.</p><br>
<p>Part two</p><br>
<p>“The legend goes, of long ago:</p><br>
<p>During the raising of the full moon</p><br>
<p>The mermaid of the La Laguna de Paca, appears</p><br>
<p>And to the nearby town’s folks, she echoes…</p><br>
<p>Echoes, her cries and moans</p><br>
<p>Then when one thinks all is well—</p><br>
<p>The enchanting rings, the rings…!</p><br>
<p>Of the bells, the Great Bells, bells</p><br>
<p>Of the sunken church of La Laguna de Paca</p><br>
<p>Are heard, heard by the folks of the town.</p><br>
<p>Part Three</p><br>
<p>But there is more to this legend:</p><br>
<p>For it is said, wherein the dark night</p><br>
<p>(The ink dark macabre star-lit nights)</p><br>
<p>Wherein the eeriness of the full moon</p><br>
<p>Ebbs across the Laguna de Paca, gives birth,</p><br>
<p>To the Great Bull, who scorches the hillside!</p><br>
<p>Scorches the foliage to its bones…!</p><br>
<p>Scorches with fire and brimstone.</p><br>
<p>Part Four</p><br>
<p>And now I tell you of my tale—</p><br>
<p>A tale that took place but a few days ago,</p><br>
<p>By a misty embankment along the Laguna de Paca.</p><br>
<p>Here, here I stood, stood within its grip, trance:</p><br>
<p>Aloft in the eldritch dark—it lingered</p><br>
<p>This shadowy configuration of the ghoul,</p><br>
<p>The ghoul l…l… of the lake, Laguna de Paca--.</p><br>
<p>And there in the giant eucalyptus, Grande Tree</p><br>
<p>It shifted and swayed, peering: looking at me…</p><br>
<p>Then at forth glance, it disappeared,</p><br>
<p>As if it sank—submerged! …into the great lake…</p><br>
<p>Of La Laguna de Paca!...</p><br>
<p>Lake Sausacocha  is a lake in Peru, 10 km to the northeast of Huamachuco in Huamachuco District, Sánchez Carrión Province. Literal meaning of Sausacocha is “lagoon that never dries.” Overgrazed hillsides surround the lake and there are also Inca ruins nearby.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The lake covers 4 km&sup2; surrounded by low hills. It is located at the relatively low altitude of 4 m. The road from Huamachuco to Cajabamba passes by Lake Sausacocha where there are a variety of lodges and restaurants (trout ceviche is a speciality).</p><br>
<p>The lake is a breeding ground for trout and carp.</p><br>
<p>Bird watchers have sighted the yellow-billed pintail (Anas georgica) in the lake area.</p><br>
<p>Sausacocha is one of the rare Andean lakes with acidic waters. The chemical properties of the Lake Sausacocha waters, such as acidic pH, low conductivity, low hardness, low calcium and low alkalinity values have resulted in rich desmids (green algae) growth. The lake is said to have comparatively low levels of ionic concentrations at 78 µS/cm as compared to the highest reading of 1028 µS/cm in Lake Titicaca.</p><br>
<h2>Economy</h2><br>
<p>The people in the area generate an income through recreation and letting out boats for rowing on the lake.</p><br>
<p>Ornamented ceramics of the North Peruvian region are of five types, which includes the type imprinted with the name Sausacocha, the other four types are Huamachuco Impressed, Huamachuco-on-White, Alto Chicama and Cajamarca III. The name as impressed on the ceramics as "Sausacocha (SA)" was given by McCown who discovered it for the first time on the shores of the Lake Sausacocha near Huamachuco.</p><br>
<p>The A. P. Johnson House, also known as Campbell Residence, is a Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Prairie School home that was constructed in Delavan, Wisconsin, USA, in 1905. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Johnson house sits on a 6-acre lot on the south shore of Lake Delavan, on a small wooded hill with a view of the water. Wright designed it as he was shifting from more classical designs to fully developed Prairie style like the 1906 Robie House.</p><br>
<p>Characteristic elements of Prairie Style are the low-pitched hip roofs with wide eaves, the raised central mass, bands of casement windows, and horizontal siding. One-story porches extend from each end parallel to the lake, like wings of the house. The windows contain leaded colored glass, in a decorative pattern that repeats. The house is clad in horizontal tongue-and-groove wood siding, which Wright often used on small cottages. The roof was originally covered with wood shingles, but they have been replaced with asphalt.</p><br>
<p>The interior included a large central living area with dining room, living room and study more or less open to each other. A large fireplace of Roman brick heats the living room. (The house was originally heated only by its fireplaces.) Bedrooms are upstairs. Much of the interior was updated from 1980 to 1982, but the exterior is little changed from 1905.</p><br>
<p>Wright intended that the exterior of the house be finished in a dark natural color, but the house was instead painted white. William Storrer writes: It is said that when Wright, approaching on horseback via the dirt driveway to supervise final stages of work on this Prairie style tongue-and-groove-sided house, saw it painted white, he rode away, never to return.</p><br>
<p>The Fred B. Jones House is part of an estate called "Penwern" in Delavan, Wisconsin, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and constructed from 1900 to 1903. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<p>Fred Jones was a Chicago bachelor-businessman who had this estate on Lake Delavan built as a weekend cottage and a place to throw summer parties. Wright designed all the buildings, each different. They were built while Wrights ideas were developing, and though the buildings fit nicely into their natural surroundings and emphasize the horizontal, they lack the flat roofs and lines that we now think of as Wrights Prairie Style.</p><br>
<p>The boathouse was built first, in 1900, with rising ridgepoles and flaring eaves that suggest Japanese architecture more overtly than in most of Wright&#39;s designs. The main house was built in 1901, with gable roofs, a living room facing the lake, and broad arches, one over a porte-cochère. The gatehouse was built in 1903, with a gable roof, two Gothic-like dormers, and a two-story tower to which the men could retreat for late-night poker. The stable was also built in 1903, a gable-roofed building whose design looks more Wrightian than like a Wisconsin barn.</p><br>
<p>The name "Penwern" was chosen by Jones, meaning "Great House" in Gaelic. Jones&#39; grandmother moved in with him in 1921, forcing him to add a wing at the southwest corner of the house. The boathouse burned in 1978, but was reconstructed around 2005.</p><br>
<p>The Acres, also known as Galesburg Country Homes, is a naturalistic residential</p><br>
<p>plat designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in Charleston Township, Michigan. Established as a co-op in 1949 by a group of scientists from the Upjohn pharmaceutical company, the district contains four Wright designed Usonian homes and the Günther</p><br>
<p>and Anne Fonken House designed by Taliesin School fellow Francis "Will" Willsey. The Acres consists of 70 acres with each home built on a 1 acre circular lot. The plat was designed to have 21 homes built on it with 50 acres of open land for community use that also included a 3-acre pond. On May 19, 2004 The Acres was granted historical status and was placed on the National Register of Historical Places.</p><br>
<p>Frank Lloyd Wright designed Galesburg Country Homes homes:</p><br>
<p>David and Christine Weisblat Residence</p><br>
<p>Eric and Pat Pratt Residence</p><br>
<p>Samuel and Dorothy Eppstein Residence</p><br>
<p>Curtis and Lillian Meyer Residence</p><br>
<p>The Dr. G.C. Stockman House  was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and built in 1908 for Dr. George C. and Eleanor Stockman in Mason City, Iowa. The home was originally located at 311 1st St. SE, but was moved to 530 1st St. NE to avoid demolition. It has been fully restored as a public museum and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It features numerous authentic period furnishings and reproduction pieces.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1907, Frank Lloyd Wright was commissioned to design a mixed-use building for Mason City attorneys, James E.E. Markley and James E. Blythe. Construction on what became known as the Park Inn Hotel and City National Bank Building did not begin until April 1909, but Wright made many visits to the site during the 1907&ndash;1908 design period. While on one of these visits in 1908, Wright was contracted by Markley&#39;s neighbor George Stockman and his artist wife Eleanor to design a house on a small lot within blocks of his hotel and bank project.</p><br>
<p>For the design of the Stockman House, Wright adapted a plan he had published in the Ladies Home Journal in 1907. Titled "A Fireproof House for $5000," it re-envisioned Wrights Prairie Style in a smaller, more compact dwelling that was more affordable for a family of medium income.</p><br>
<p>The Stockman House was Wright&#39;s third constructed version of the "Fireproof House" after completing both Tan-Y-Deri (the Andrew T. Porter House) and the Stephen M. B. Hunt House I in 1907.</p><br>
<p>Stockman owned the house until 1924, after which the house passed through at least six owners, including one who used it for a photography studio. Although the house became dilapidated, very few alterations were ever made. Following the death of the final occupant in 1987, the house was put up at auction. The only bidder was the neighboring First United Methodist Church, which desired the land for a parking lot. The offer was below the minimum bid and hence rejected. Subsequently, a group of Mason City volunteers formed the River City Society for Historic Preservation in hopes of saving the house. Local inventor and entrepreneur, David Murphy (1918–1999), stepped in to satisfy both groups by donating an additional $20,000 to towards the Methodist Church&#39;s purchase under the agreement that the Stockman House would be donated to the city instead of being demolished.</p><br>
<p>Ownership was transferred to the River City Society, and two years later the house was moved roughly two blocks east and two blocks north to its present location at the end of 1st St. NE. The restoration that followed included a new roof, repair of exterior stucco and interior plaster, new wiring and plumbing, and refurbishing of most other finishes inside and out. Original materials and architectural integrity were maintained as much as possible, but in some cases the Society substituted less costly, modern products for missing or damaged material. For instance, the roof was resurfaced in asphalt shingles instead of replicating the long-removed oak shingles.</p><br>
<p>The Stockman house was opened to the public in 1992 upon the completion of most restoration work. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in the same year. After four years of design and fund raising, the River City Society for Historic Preservation broke ground in September 2009 for the Mason City Architectural Interpretive Center to replace a non-historical duplex apartment to the north of the house. The building, which will contain an auditorium and gallery space, is loosely based on a design by Prairie School architect Walter Burley Griffin. This learning and research facility was expected to open in August 2010.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Like the other known instances of the "Fireproof House" &mdash; including the Hunt House I (1907) and Zeigler House (1909) &mdash; the Stockman House was constructed with slight variations from the original design. For instance, the entrance was enlarged, the specified entrance trellis was exchanged for a cantilevered roof, a covered veranda (now enclosed) was adjoined to the north side, and the flat roof was replaced by a shallow hip roof.</p><br>
<p>While almost all original furnishings were lost as the house transferred owners, three built-in bookcases and a dining room sideboard remain. The house is now furnished with period Arts and Crafts furniture &mdash; many designed by Gustav Stickley &mdash; oriental rugs, and a few Frank Lloyd Wright originals and reproductions. Among the latter are gold and white china from the 1922 Imperial Hotel and a dresser which was crafted from Wright drawings.</p><br>
<p>The Richard C. Smith House is a small Usonian home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright near the end of his career, and constructed in Jefferson, Wisconsin in 1950. It is one of Wright&#39;s diamond module homes, a form he used in the Patrick Kinney House, the E. Clarke and Julia Arnold House and a number of other homes he designed in the late 1940s and early 1950s.</p><br>
<p>The house is one-story, with an h-shaped floor plan composed of diamond-shaped units, where the bottom legs of the h enclose a private terrace around a huge old oak. The north side of the house toward the road is mostly coursed limestone, giving privacy, and left rough to suggest a natural outcropping. The south side, facing the terrace and golf course, has many windows. The diamond element repeats throughout, in piercings in the eaves and in the drawers in the bedrooms.</p><br>
<p>Wright seems to have started the design at the huge oak which was already on the lot. His blueprints show that he drew an imaginary triangle around the tree, then oriented the diamonds, terrace and house around it.</p><br>
<p>The house was a mixed success. The flat roof leaked. The house was either too hot or too cold. The oak tree withered after Wright paved over its roots. The house cost almost twice what Wright had estimated. Yet the NRHP nomination concludes: The Smith House is no pale imitation of earlier Usonian or Prairie School houses. It is the result of a natural and vital design evolution still underway in the mind of one of the world&#39;s greatest architects.</p><br>
<p>The Baltimore and Ohio Related Industries Historic District comprises a portion of Martinsburg, West Virginia to either side of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad line as it runs through the city. The district includes the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Martinsburg Shops, a National Historic Landmark, and a variety of industrial and commercial concerns that depended on the railroad.</p><br>
<p>Along with buildings, the district includes the infrastructure associated with the building of the railroad in an urbanizing environment, such as the channelizing of Tuscarora Creek and a variety of culverts, underpasses and retaining walls. Significant buildings include, apart from the roundhouse/shop complex, the B. & O. Railroad station and hotel. Industrial buildings include coal yards, a plaster mill, feed mills, a distillery and other manufacturing facilities.</p><br>
<p>The Baldwin-Grantham House, also known as Locust Grove and Shanghai House, was built in 1749 in Shanghai, West Virginia, in the Back Creek district of Berkeley County. The earliest portion of the house is a log cabin built in 1749 by Frances Baldwin. Frances and his wife Sarah lived there until 1790, when they sold the property to Joseph Grantham and Jacob Fry. William Grantham inherited the land from his father and circa 1820 built a brick kitchen addition onto the cabin, which now forms the middle part of the house.</p><br>
<p>William died in 1838 and his son Moses took over the farm, which he called Locust Grove. In 1849 Moses built the two-story front portion of the house. Moses Grantham went on to acquire extensive property holdings around Berkeley County, including Grantham Hall on the square in downtown Martinsburg. He served two terms in the Virginia Senate and one term in the West Virginia Senate.</p><br>
<p>The log portion of the house is 1½ stories with a large stone chimney and a single room. The logs are exposed, although they once were sided. The interior is faced with beaded tongue and groove paneling, dating to circa 1920. The brick addition is connected by a small dog-trot breezeway, about 4 ft wide. The addition is two stories high, with a two-story porch on the south side. The interior is plastered. The 1849 portion of the house is the present front, a two-story five-bay structure with elements of the Federal style and Greek Revival style. An entrance portico has been removed, but traces remain. The interior is a central hall layout with a parlor and a dining room to either side. Two bedrooms flank the hall upstairs. Finishes are painted plaster walls and ceilings with simple wood moldings.</p><br>
<p>The Baldwin-Grantham House was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<p>The Latrobe Gate  is a historic gatehouse located at the Washington Navy Yard in Southeast Washington, D.C. Built in 1806 and substantially altered in 1881, the ceremonial entrance to the USA Navys oldest shore establishment is an example of Greek Revival and Italianate architecture. It was designed by the second Architect of the Capitol Benjamin Henry Latrobe, whose works include St. Johns Episcopal Church, the Baltimore Basilica, and the United States Capitol. The Latrobe Gate is one of the nations oldest extant examples of Greek Revival architecture. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 14, 1973, and is a contributing property to the Washington Navy Yards status as a National Historic Landmark.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Washington Navy Yard was established by an Act of Congress on July 23, 1799. Three years later, President Thomas Jefferson chose Latrobe to design a dry dock and ship repair facility for what was to become an active and strategically located naval yard. Although Congress rejected Latrobes building plans, the architect was designated "Engineer of the Navy Department" in 1804. Plans for the Main Gate were approved by Secretary of the Navy Robert Smith in 1805, and construction lasted from that year until 1806. Latrobes Greek Revival design was considered daring at the time, and thus criticized by traditionalist architects. William Thornton, the first Architect of the Capitol, described the gate as a "monument to bad taste and design". Thornton predicted that "not until extinction of time will such an arch ever be made again", but the Greek Revival style became popular with 19th-century American architects. The style was considered symbolic of the young nation&#39;s democracy, a political system that originated in Ancient Greece.</p><br>
<p>During the War of 1812, Washington, D.C. was invaded by British forces. The Navy Yard was a primary target during the attack, and was burned along with much of the city in 1814. The gate was one of only three structures at the Navy Yard not destroyed during the fire.</p><br>
<p>In 1881, a Marine barracks was constructed around and over the Main Gate. The brick, Italianate structure is two-stories high above the gate, and three-stories high on each side of the gate. It is the oldest continuously manned Marine guardhouse in the United States, and located four blocks south of the Marine Barracks Washington. The Marines manning the Latrobe Gate are responsible for raising and lowering the American Flag outside of the Chief of Naval Operations&#39; (CNO) house.</p><br>
<p>The De Contas River  is a river of Bahia state in eastern Brazil. In Portuguese, it is sometimes erroneously called "Rio das Contas". It is the main river of the hydrographic basin named after him.</p><br>
<p>Its source is in Tromba Mountain, between the municipalities of Piatã and Rio de Contas, passing through the cities of Abíra, Jussiape, Dom Basílio, Tanhaçu, Jequié (where the Pedras Dam was erected), Jitaúna, Ipiaú, Itagibá, Barra do Rocha, Ubatã, Ubaitaba and Aurelino Leal, to finally to its mouth in the Atlantic Ocean in Itacaré.</p><br>
<h2>Hydrographic basin</h2><br>
<p>It is one of the sixteen hydrographic basins of the Brazilian state of Bahia, and is subordinate administratively to the National Department of Works to Combat Drought (DNOCS). The basin comprises its main effluents, which are: Brumado river, António river, Gongogi river, Jequiezinho river, Gavião river, Sincorá river and Jacaré river.</p><br>
<p>It encompasses a territory of 55,334 km&sup2, with a population of 1,423,153 inhabitants (in 1991). Its economic uses are varied: irrigation, energy production, mining, and supplying the cities in its perimeter.</p><br>
<p>It is the largest basin that is entirely located in the Brazilian state of Bahia, in which are located 86 municipalities, a territory equivalent to 10.2 percent of the state territory.</p><br>
<p>Its limits: in west by the São Francisco Basin; in east by the Atlantic Ocean; in South by do Rio Pardo and Rio Colônia basins and the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais; and in North by the basins of the Paraguaçu River and Jequiriçá River.</p><br>
<p>The Río Olimar River is a river in the Treinta y Tres Department of Uruguay.</p><br>
<h2>Course</h2><br>
<p>The river rises as a small stream in the hills of Cuchilla Grande in western Treinta y Tres Department, just southwest of Santa Clara de Olimar. Heading southeasterly, it collects the smaller streams, the most important of which are the Brazo de la Yeguada, Olimar Chico River (Small Olimar), and Arroyo Yerbal Grande. Other creeks flowing into the Olimar Grande are the Lagarto, Avestruz and Corrales. Covering some 140 km, the Olimar discharges into the Cebollatí River as the main tributary, draining some 5,320 km&sup2; of Uruuguay.</p><br>
<p>The city of Treinta y Tres, capital of the department, appears almost surrounded by the Olimar River and its affluent, the Great Yerbal stream. The two margins of the river are covered with thick native mount. At the southwest limits of the city, three bridges cross the river. The oldest one is a wood and metal bridge now suited only for pedestrians, horses and bicycles. 120 m upstream, is the bridge of the railroad and another 270 m upstream is the last one, a modern reinforced concrete bridge carrying the Ruta 8 to the city. These small distances separating the three bridges create a beautiful view often depicted in photos of the Treinta y Tres.</p><br>
<h2>Folklore and art</h2><br>
<p>Besides these geographic characteristics, the Olimar river has an important historical and artistic meaning for the region and the country. An Uruguayan quote about it is "the river that sings more", because its surroundings have been inspiration of various local artists, mainly musicians and poets. Annually a folk music and dance festival takes place on its banks by the city of Treinta y Tres, which gathers participation and audience from all over Uruguay as well as from abroad.</p><br>
<p>The 1838 Peter Augustus Jay House and surrounding 23 acre Jay Estate form the centerpiece of the Boston Post Road Historic District of Rye, New York. The site is the surviving remnant of the 400 acre farm where one of America&#39;s seven Founding Fathers, John Jay , grew up and where he also returned to celebrate the end of the Revolutionary War. The preserved property is located on the south side of the Boston Post Road  in Rye and has a 3/4 mile view of Milton Harbor. It overlooks a 10,000+ year old Paleo-Indian archaeological site and the oldest man-managed meadow on record in New York State.</p><br>
<p>The house and its landscape are the keystones of a National Historic Landmark District (NHL) created in 1993.</p><br>
<h2>Location and significance</h2><br>
<p>Of America&#39;s seven founders, Jay alone was a native of New York State. He was raised in Rye from infancy at a country seat called "The Locusts" overlooking Long Island Sound. He returned there frequently throughout his illustrious career for important family gatherings most famously a celebration of his role as one of the three American peace commissioners who negotiated the Treaty of Paris.</p><br>
<p>Jay inherited the entire property outright in 1813 and conveyed it nine years later in 1822 to his eldest son Peter Augustus Jay. Seven years after his fathers death, Peter reluctantly took down the ancestral house but reincorporated its timbers, doors, shutters and nails into a new 1838 structure, locating the second construction on the footprint of the first building. Stylistic elements appear to have been influenced by architectural pattern books by Minard Lafever, Asher Benjamin and Chester Hills. While the style of the mansions facade is grand, the rear piazza replicates the simplicity and same dimensions of the first house, one story high and 80 ft long.</p><br>
<p>Upon seeing the preserved landscape and viewshed of John Jay&#39;s youth and early adulthood, Justice Harry Blackmun remarked,</p><br>
<p>The Jay mansion has been recognized as an outstandingly pure example of Greek Revival architecture.</p><br>
<h2>Historic preservation and interpretation</h2><br>
<p>The Jay Heritage Center owns the 1838 Peter Augustus Jay House. Pieces of the original 18th century house "The Locusts" found within the mansion are also on public view and illustrate sustainable building traditions. JHC uses the house to host programs in American History, Architecture, Landscape Conservation and Environmental Stewardship. The building is an official Save America&#39;s Treasures project.</p><br>
<p>In November 2008, the PAJ House became the oldest National Historic Landmark structure in New York State to be equipped with an energy-efficient geothermal heating and cooling system. The Jay Estate was designated a member site of the Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area (HRVNHA) in January 2009, based on its architectural and historic significance as well as green management practices and design efforts in sustainability. The HRVNHA is a prestigious designation by the National Parks System (NPS).</p><br>
<h3>African-American Heritage Trail and NY State Path Through History</h3><br>
<p>John Jay is well known for advocating emancipation, serving as the first President of the New York Manumission Society, and establishing the first African Free School. His son Peter Augustus Jay also served as President of the Manumission Society, continuing his work. The familys home has been designated one of 13 sites on the Westchester County African-American Heritage Trail. In 2013, it was added to New York States Path Through History as an important site that explores themes and the evolution of Civil Rights. It is open to schools and to the public.</p><br>
<p>Power Plant and Dam No. 5, also known as Honeywood Dam, comprises a dam on the Potomac River, originally built for the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, and a power plant built to take advantage of the river&#39;s flow to generate hydroelectric power. The dam is included in Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park.</p><br>
<p>The dam was originally built to retain water for the C&O Canal in 1835. It was modified in 1993, and is 20 ft tall, retaining 490 acre of reservoir. The 1835 dam was constructed of wood cribbing, and was attacked by Confederate forces under General Stonewall Jackson in December 1861 with the aim of destroying the dam, depriving the upper C&O Canal of water and consequently cutting off coal shipments to Washington, D.C. Two assaults by Jackson&#39;s forces failed to cause significant damage to the dam. The dam was later replaced with a stone structure, which has been upgraded with concrete.</p><br>
<p>The power plant is a two-story brick building on the West Virginia side of the river. It was built circa 1900 as the Honeywood paper mill. The first Honeywood Mill was built at the same time as the dam, in 1835 by Edward Colston. It burned a few years later and was replaced, then burned in the Civil War.</p><br>
<p>The dam and power plant were placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Little Slackwater</h2><br>
<p>The water impounded by the dam made an area that the Canallers called "Little Slackwater". At Guard Lock #5, the canal entered the river, and the boats navigated in the slackwater for about a half a mile, returning to the canal at Lock 45. For the boatmen, this was a tricky place to steer, particularly if the current was fast. On 1 May 1903, a towline broke and the boat (with people aboard) went over the dam, causing injuries and loss of life.</p><br>
<p>The William Boggs Farm is located in the Back Creek Valley of Berkeley County, West Virginia ner Hedgesville. The property was settled before 1750 by William Boggs, who may have been the first settler in the valley. A 1750 survey indicates that Boggs had 275 acre of land with a cabin. By 1766 Boggs had accumulated 527 acre. Boggs grew cash crops in the fertile bottomlands along Back Creek and raised clover for pasturage on the hilltops.</p><br>
<p>After William Sr.s death in 1791, his son, William Boggs, Jr. took over the land, working the farm until his death in 1836. The property was divided between Willam Jr.s son John, with243 acre and daughter Jane with 307 acre.In 1846 John sold his share for $2000 to Janes husband, Thomas C. Harper. The farm was inherited in 1884 by John Boggs daughter Theresa, who had lived at the firm with the Harpers. Encumbered by debts she inherited with the property, Theresa was forced to sell in 1887 to D.E. Stone.</p><br>
<p>The 2-1/2 story log house features a center hall plan with a room on each side of the main stair hall and two rooms upstairs. The interior log surfaces were whitewashed. Interior walls are beaded board. Mantels and stairs feature decorative carving of good quality for such a remote location. The exterior is clad with wide planking.</p><br>
<p>Nearby on the property a two-level root cellar is dug into a hillside, with entrances to the upper and lower levels on opposite sides. The farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<p>The Campbell House Museum opened on February 6, 1943, and is in the Greater St. Louis area, in the USA state of Missouri. The museum was documented as part of the Historic American Buildings Survey between 1936 and 1941, designated a City of St. Louis Landmark in 1946, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977, and became a National Trust for Historic Preservation Save America&#39;s Treasures project in 2000. The museum is owned and operated by the Campbell House Foundation, Inc. a 501 non-profit organization.</p><br>
<h2>Building and renovations</h2><br>
<p>The Campbell House Museum commemorates the home and Victorian lifestyle of Robert Campbell and his wife Virginia Kyle Campbell. The house was first built in 1851 by John Hall. Hall sold it to Cornelia Hempsted Wilson in 1853 and she lived in the house for only one year. Robert Campbell purchased the house in 1854, and he and his family lived there until the death of his last surviving child in 1938. The building was located at 20 Lucas Place. Lucas Place was a new residential street created around 1850 by siblings James Lucas and Ann Lucas hunt.</p><br>
<p>Robert Campbell purchased the house for around $18,000 and soon after moving in, enlarged the back of the house adding a larger kitchen, dining room, and more servant bedrooms. In 1867 the Campbell family continued renovations including: combining the two front parlors into one larger space; adding a three-story bay window on the east side, and adding three extra rooms on the third floor. In 1885 an exterior porch was enclosed and the morning room created. In 1900 Lucas Place became known as Locust Street and the house was renumbered to 1508 Locust Street, its current address.</p><br>
<h2>The museum takes shape</h2><br>
<p>The last surviving child of Robert Campbell was Hazlett Campbell who died at home in 1938. The death of the Campbell brothers and the complexity of the family trusts and wills prompted a lengthy string of litigation between the trustees for the estate, banks, and descendants and people claiming to be descendants. As the Campbells&#39; estates were settled the fate of the house and its contents became unclear. In preparing an inventory and evaluation of the estate, leading experts in history, architecture and art were called. All were amazed after visiting the house, pronouncing, "probably nowhere in America, possible nowhere else, is such an intact and integral display of elaborate and ornate furnishings of the middle Victorian period to be found, as in the Campbell mansion." It was clear that the house needed to be saved and the unique and important story of the Campbells preserved.</p><br>
<p>A local history group called the William Clark Society began to organize an effort to save the building and its contents as a museum. The committee formed for the task included architectural historian John Bryan, eminent Missouri historian Charles van Ravenswaay and director of the St. Louis Art Museum Perry Rathborne.</p><br>
<p>The Campbells cousins, who had inherited the contents of the house, chose to auction everything. St. Louis auction house Selkirks conducted the sale on February 24, 25 and 26, 1941. The William Clark Society was able to raise more than $6,500 in just a few weeks, purchasing the majority of the furnishings. Buyers donated many other Campbell pieces after the auctions. The Campbell House Foundation was formally incorporated later that year.</p><br>
<p>Celebrating its 50th anniversary in 1942, local St. Louis department store, Stix, Baer and Fuller purchased the house from Yale University and presented it to the people of St. Louis through the Campbell House Foundation. The house had been left to Yale University by the will of the oldest Campbell son, Hugh in honor of the youngest James, who had died at the young age of 30 and who had attended Yale University.</p><br>
<h2>Redecoration and the first 30 years (1943–73)</h2><br>
<p>When the foundation got possession of the house in 1942 they immediately began raising funds to refurbish the interior with new wallpaper, paint and carpets. This redecoration reflected a mid-20th-century concept of the Campbell&#39;s Victorian interior and was not an accurate restoration of what had existed in the 19th century.</p><br>
<p>The House Museum formally opened to the public on February 6, 1943. During the 1940s the Campbell House was one of the only museums dedicated to the history and decorative arts of mid-Victorian America. The museum was featured in Life magazine in May 1945 and National Geographic in March 1946.</p><br>
<p>The museum&#39;s interiors were redecorated again in 1967. In January 1973 the Campbell House was featured in the pages of Architectural Digest. Later that same year an important album of 60 photographs was donated to the museum. The 8-inch by 10-inch photos show not only the house interior, room by room, but also the exterior and surrounding neighborhood. The photos date from about 1885 and may have been taken by Hugh Campbell, but for what purpose is unclear. The album was discovered in the trash of a law firm that worked on the Campbell estate.</p><br>
<p>This group of photos is the most significant artifact in the museum collection and is the most important piece of documentation supporting the accurate historic restoration of the museum.</p><br>
<h2>Early restorations (1973–95)</h2><br>
<p>The discovery of the Campbell House photo album allowed for accurate restoration of the interior rooms. Using the photographs, the first room to be restored was the morning room beginning in 1980. During the mid-1980s the dining room was partially restored. False wood graining was restored or recreated in both rooms. In the morning room, wallpaper was recreated to match the pattern in the photos. In the dining room, the elaborate painted ceiling was recreated.</p><br>
<h2>The restoration (2000–05)</h2><br>
<p>In February 2000, the restoration of the house started with the packing and storing of the entire museum collection. The exterior restoration was complete by mid-2001. In addition to mechanical updates, the exterior restoration included returning the exterior of the house to its historic appearance and colors as well as completing structural work to insure the long-term preservation of the building and collection.</p><br>
<p>The interior restoration began in the Spring 2001 and was completed in 2005 restoring the house as closely as possible to its appearance in the 1885 photographs.</p><br>
