<p>Passage Island is a small island in the USA territory in western Lake Superior. It is the northeastern-most island in Isle Royale National Park. The island is uninhabited, but has a lighthouse  and a short hiking trail. The USA National Park Service conducts tours of the island which depart from Rock Harbor on Isle Royale.</p><br>
<p>The name "Passage Island" refers to the fact that ships out of and bound for Thunder Bay, Ontario often pass through the gap between Passage Island and Blake Point on the northeastern end of Isle Royale. Although this gap is three and a half miles wide, this passage was often dangerous during late season (early winter) conditions on Lake Superior, especially before the development of modern navigational aids. Great Lakes sailors refer to passing through this gap as "threading the needle."</p><br>
<p>The James Iredell House is a historic home located at Edenton, Chowan County, North Carolina. The original section was built about 1776, and expanded to its present configuration about 1816. It is a two-story, "L"-shaped frame dwelling with Georgian and Federal style design elements. It was the home of James Iredell, an ardent patriot and Justice of the Supreme Court.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.</p><br>
<p>The house is now a historic house museum, one of several sites of Historic Edenton, and belongs to the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural resources. Other historic sites open for tour include the Roanoke River Light, Chowan County Courthouse, Barker House, Cupola House and St. Paul&#39;s Episcopal Church.</p><br>
<p>The Pioneer Center for the Performing Arts  is a theater located in Reno, Nevada. It was designed by the Oklahoma City architectural firm of Bozalis, Dickinson and Roloff as a concrete structure with a distinctive gold geodesic dome roof. The facility was completed in 1967 with 987 seats on the main level and 513 seats in a balcony. The co-founder of Temcor, the project&#39;s contractor, was Don Richter, a student of Buckminster Fuller, developer of the geodesic dome concept. Temcor had built several gold-anodized aluminum domes before the Pioneer, and was responsible for more than 5000 dome projects.</p><br>
<p>Originally to be called the Apollo Theater, the Pioneer took its name from a 1939 statue of a pioneer family by Byron S. Johnson, salvaged from the Old State Building, which was demolished to make way for the new facility. Unofficially, the dome was called the "Golden Turtle." It consists of a 500-panel aluminum shell on an inner steel frame, which is in turn supported by reinforced concrete arches. The orchestra level of the theater is depressed below ground level, allowing the roof to nearly touch the ground at the corners.</p><br>
<p>The Washoe County Fair and Recreation Board, which was responsible for the project, was particularly taken with Casa Mañana in Fort Worth, Texas, resulting in the selection of the domed concept. The Pioneer Center was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>
<p>The Cohoquinoque Creek was formerly a stream running west to east through the Callowhill neighborhood in Philadelphia, along the southern part of Northern Liberties and immediately north of original northern boundary of Philadelphia. This small tributary of the Delaware River remains today, as a sewer, under Willow Street, which winds its way through what is sometimes called the East Callowhill Industrial District. Its name, spelled various ways , is said to be derived from a Lenni-Lenape word for "the grove of long pine trees." This was also the name of a nearby Lenape village.</p><br>
<p>Accounts vary, but Cohoquinoque Creek arose around the present-day intersection of Fifteenth and Spring Garden Streets (and perhaps as far north as Fairmount Avenue) and was also fed by a well-known spring in the Spring Garden district near present-day Ninth Street. The creek was later primarily known as Pegg&#39;s Run. Willow Street, a rare curvilinear street in the older part of Philadelphia, is wavy because it follows the course of the old stream. For centuries, Cohoquinoque Creek has often been confused with Cohocksink Creek, which is about a mile to the north.</p><br>
<h2>Early history</h2><br>
<p>At one time, Cohoquinoque Creek was navigable by small boats from the Delaware, and farm products were floated on flat boats for sale in Philadelphia. Rowers could even make their way up as far as the famous Spring Garden spring. In the 1780s, a bridge (Pooles or Pools bridge) was built over the stream at Front Street and citizens were proud of this early structure. The land on both sides was low and swampy, and several people straying from the causeway lost their lives in the mud. There were sluices under the causeway to permit free flowing of water.</p><br>
<p>The name Pegg’s Run was derived from Daniel Pegg, a Quaker brickmaker who once possessed nearly all of the Northern Liberties south of Cohocksink Creek. Pegg in 1686 acquired three hundred and fifty acres of marshy ground in that area from one Jurian Hartsfelder, who held a patent on the land dating back years before the arrival of William Penn. (The land along the Delaware River that became Philadelphia was under Swedish control from 1638 to 1655, when it passed to Dutch control, and then English control in 1664.)</p><br>
<h2>Industrial use and conversion to sewer</h2><br>
<p>Accounts vary as to when Pegg&#39;s Run was covered over and made into a city sewer. One states that the stream was covered as far west as Franklin Street (now removed) by 1811 and to Ninth Street by 1824. Whatever the case, the stream had become tremendously polluted even as early as the late 18th century, with numerous tanneries and other early Philadelphia industries located along its banks. The following accounts indicate how bad the situation was:</p><br>
<p>A small stream of water, called Pegg&#39;s Run, passes through a portion of the Northern Liberties and Spring Garden, which, until a few years ago, was left open and unimproved. The bottom of the stream was miry, and, at low tide and in hot and droughty weather, was often destitute of sufficient water to carry off its contents. Receiving the offals of very many slaughter-houses, lanyards, glue, starch, dressed skin, and soap manufactories adjoining it, as well as the contents of two culverts, of a large number of privies, and of the gutters of the numerous populous streets and alleys it crosses, it became highly offensive, and the source of noxious exhalations. This stream, which plays a conspicuous part in the history of one of the epidemics, and was correctly pronounced the greatest nuisance in Philadelphia, attracted finally the attention of the public and council, and has since been culverted.</p><br>
<p>--From René La Roche, Yellow Fever, Considered in Its Historical, Pathological, Etiological, and Therapeutical Relations... (Blanchard and Lea, 1855), at 27-28.</p><br>
<p>...n reference to the development in Duke Street, (then Artillery Lane,) Northern Liberties, he alludes to its proximity to what was called in a petition of that time, "the greatest nuisance in Philadelphia," Peggs Run, and describes it "as an open culvert or common sewer, passing through the closely built parts of Penn Township, Spring Garden, and the Northern Liberties, to the River Delaware. In its course, it receives the contents of the gutters of the numerous populous streets and alleys it crosses, and two culverts from the city also open into it. Along its borders are situated a number of manufactories of glue, starch, dressed skins, and soap. About fifty slaughter-houses, and the privies of most of the adjoining dwellings, the refuse, fermentable and putrescent matters of which are all emptied into its stream. Except during the heavy rains, or immediately after them, the stream is barely sufficient to carry along, with a sluggish current, the mass of decomposing, offensive substances that compose it, for in fact, it seems more like liquid mud than water."&#39;</p><br>
<p>--From Report of the Philadelphia Relief Committee Appointed to Collect Funds for the Sufferers by Yellow Fever, At Norfolk & Portsmouth, Va., 1855 (Inquirer Printing Office, 1856), at 27-28. (Most of the language within this quote was taken from an article entitled "An Account of the Yellow or Malignant Fever Which Appeared in the City of Philadelphia in the Summer and Autumn of 1820 with Observations on That Disease," by Dr. Samuel Jackson, beginning on page 313 of volume 1 of The Philadelphia Journal of the Medical and Physical Sciences (1820), at page 355.)</p><br>
<p>After the sewer was built, the tanners and other industries along the way obtained entrances into it, and thus continued discharging their wastes into the covered stream and out into the nearby Delaware River.</p><br>
<p>Willow Street was built on top of the culvert by 1829. Around 1834, tracks were laid on the thoroughfare by the Northern Liberties and Penn Township Railroad. These tracks ran from the Delaware River to Broad Street and connected to the Philadelphia and Columbia Railroad tracks on Pennsylvania Avenue. In the 1850s, the entire line became part of the Reading Railroad.</p><br>
<h2>Modern times</h2><br>
<p>When the East Callowhill Street district was cleared for urban redevelopment in the late 1960s (i.e., the Callowhill East Urban Renewal Area project), the tracks were removed but the sewer remained. This is why Willow Street itself was not removed when the other streets in the district were. The sewer flows into the Delaware River at what was once known as the Willow Street wharf. Today, that vicinity is midpoint between Callowhill and Spring Garden Streets.</p><br>
<p>The Milton Odem House is a small bungalow home located in Redmond, Oregon. The house was built in 1937 by Ole K. Olson for Milton Odem, a local theater owner. It is one of the best examples of residential Streamline Moderne architecture in Oregon. The Milton Odem House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Milton Odem was born in Enid, Oklahoma in 1906. He moved to Idaho as a boy, growing up in Grangeville and Lewiston. Odem arrived in Redmond with his wife in 1923. They bought an existing theater and renamed it the Mayfair, turning it into a successful business. Odem later built a second movie theater in downtown in Redmond; and then a drive-in theater on the outskirts of the city. Over the years, he also served on the Redmond Airport Commission, the Redmond City Planning Commission, and the Redmond City Council.</p><br>
<p>In 1937, Odem decided to build a new theater to accommodate the influx of movie goers from the Civilian Conservation Corps camp at Camp Sherman and workers at the new Redmond Air Field. He called the new theater the Odem. Odem chose a sleek modern design for his new theater, an architectural style known as Streamline Moderne. The style features aerodynamic lines, chromium steel, colored vitreous marble, tubular neon, stucco walls, glass blocks, tinted mirrors, and recessed lighting. All these features combine to create a streamlined industrial look which was very popular at the time, especially for theaters and commercial buildings.</p><br>
<p>Not only did he build his new Odem theater in that style, he also built a new Streamline Moderne home the same year the theater was constructed. The home was located on a 50 by 100 ft lot on the west side of 12th Street in southwest Redmond. The Odem family only lived in the house for three years, moving to another home in the Redmond area in 1940.</p><br>
<p>In 1940, a back porch was added to the home and a garage was built on the northwest corner of the lot. A year later, the new owners added a second bedroom to the northwest corner of the house. With that addition, today’s historic structure was complete. Subsequent alterations changed some of the original characteristics. For example, in the 1970s, the original double-hung windows were replaced by aluminum frame windows. The original doors were also replaced during that period.</p><br>
<p>A major renovation of the Odem house was completed in the spring of 1996, bringing back much of the original detail using historic photography to guide the work. Because of its unusual Streamline Moderne design, the Milton Odem House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on 21 February 1997. At the time it was listed, the Milton Odem House was the only Streamline Moderne residential property in Oregon listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Today, the Odem house remain one of the best examples of a Streamline Moderne residence in the state of Oregon.</p><br>
<h2>Structure</h2><br>
<p>Ole Knutte Olson for Milton Odem and his wife, Flossie. It is a small one-story bungalow that measures 26 by 33 ft. The house is an excellent example of a Streamline Moderne style residence, highlighting many of the style’s most notable features. For example, the design features prominent horizontal lines, asymmetrical façade, flat roof, broad overhanging eaves, stucco exterior walls, a large corner window, and Art Deco style hardware inside. There are two historic buildings on the property, the main house and a small garage on the northwest corner of the property</p><br>
<p>The main house has a balloon-frame structure on a concrete foundation. The roof is flat with a parapet wall running along the roof edge to conceal the asphalt roof. There is a large overhanging eave on the northeast front and north sides of the building. The exterior is covered with spatter-dashed stucco. The living room picture windows are casement style, set at a 110 degree angle. The remaining windows are a two-over-two double-hung type with horizontal muntins. The original doors were replaced in the 1970s. Unfortunately, there are no photographs of the originals doors so an appropriate Streamline Moderne style door with a round port window was installed during the 1996 renovation. The street front façade has three wide horizontal bands set out from the main wall surface that emphasize the design’s horizontal orientation.</p><br>
<p>At the northwest corner of the lot, there is a small wood-frame garage and shop building. The garage was built in 1940. It has a shed-roof with asphalt shingles that slopes from front to back. It has 6-inch horizontal clapboard siding and bay doors. There are two windows one on the north side of the building and one on the south side. The garage faces east and was originally connected to 12th Street by a gravel driveway. Today, the gravel lane has been replaced by a concrete driveway. Inside the garage there are two areas, a main space for storing a car and a small tool shop area.</p><br>
<h2>Interior</h2><br>
<p>With only 970 ft&sup2; of interior space, the Milton Odem House is designed to be compact and functional. The interior reflect the overall Streamline Moderne design concept. The interior walls are lath and plaster. The living room and dining room floors are covered with 2-inch oak tongue-and-groove decking while the floors in the remaining rooms have 3-inch fir decking.</p><br>
<p>The living room and adjoining dining room are divided by an archway. The living room measures 10 by 19 ft and the dining room is 9 by 9. Both rooms have recessed alcove shelve features with arched tops. The dining room also has a built-in five-drawer china cabinet. The front bedroom is 11 by 14 ft and the adjoining bathroom is 5 by 8 ft. The bathroom has chrome fixtures and a glass block exterior window. In 1996, the kitchen was expanded to incorporate the back porch area. While not part of the original design, the change was necessary to accommodates modern living. The rear bedroom was added in 1941. It measures 13 by 15 ft. It has two large windows on the southwest corner of the room overlooking the back yard and another window on the north side of the room. The house still has its original rose crystal door knobs and brass hardware; however, none of the original lighting fixtures remain.</p><br>
<p>Porur Lake , is located on the fringes of Porur in south-west Chennai and is a primary water resource for people residing in Chennai. It is a temporary catchment area connected with Chembarambakkam Lake. It is spread over 200 acres with a capacity of 46 million cubic feet .</p><br>
<p>There are four filters working 24x7 to pump water to K. K. Nagar double tank distribution point. Bathing, Washing and/or Swimming is currently prohibited in this lake from 1995. A better view of the lake can be appreciated from the Chennai bypass</p><br>
<p>In 2012, the Water Resources Department initiated a project to increase the capacity the tank along with two other lakes in the city at a cost of 130 crore. This would deepen the lake by at least 1 m and increases the capacity to 70 mcft.</p><br>
<p>The Thuringian Highland Thuringian Highlands or Thuringian-Vogtlandian Slate Mountains  is a low range of mountains in the German state of Thuringia.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The Thuringian Highland borders on the Thuringian Forest to the southwest. It is plateau about 20 km wide that slopes southeast towards the Saale valley in the area of the Saale Dam and includes parts of the Thuringian Forest and Thuringian Highland and Upper Saale Nature Park.</p><br>
<p>The largest towns in the Thuringian Highland are Saalfeld and Bad Blankenburg which lie on its northern perimeter, Neuhaus am Rennweg in the highest region and Bad Lobenstein on the eastern edge (where it transitions into Franconian Forest).</p><br>
<p>The area includes a total of 4 smaller regions:</p><br>
<p>upper Saale valley</p><br>
<p>Plothen Lake District</p><br>
<p>High slate mountains</p><br>
<p>Sormitz-Schwarza region</p><br>
<p>The slate mountains of the Vogtland and Thuringian Highland stretch from the Thuringian Forest to the Ore Mountains (Erzgebirge). They are between about 300 m to high, and comprise gently rolling hills which are part of the backbone of the Central Uplands. They extend for about 75 km from east to west and 50 km from north to south. Typical features of the landscape are the dolerite peaks or Kuppen (like the Pöhlde or the Hübel) with their wooded crests. These are made from a volcanic rock, dolerite, which is harder than the surrounding rocks and so weathers more slowly, giving rise to the characteristic Kuppen.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>As its German name suggests, the Thuringian Highland is mainly made of slate rock. Although this region was formed in a similar way to the Harz, it lacks the sharp divisions caused by fault lines. Almost all the way round the region transitions gradually into the surrounding land. The rocks found here are from the Palaeozoic era, i.e. the Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian and Lower Carboniferous periods. The most important ones are:</p><br>
<p>Shale,</p><br>
<p>Alaunschiefer,</p><br>
<p>Radiolarite,</p><br>
<p>Limestone,</p><br>
<p>Sandstone,</p><br>
<p>Greywacke,</p><br>
<p>Dolerite,</p><br>
<p>Spilite</p><br>
<p>and volcanic conglomerates.</p><br>
<p>Karst-forming, and hence cave-forming, limestone only occurs in a few, small, isolated areas. As a result the number of caves is very low.</p><br>
<h2>Rivers and hydro-electric power</h2><br>
<p>In the Saale Valley there are two of the largest dams in Germany, which form the Hohenwarte and Bleiloch Reservoirs. In the Schwarza Valley there is the Goldisthal Pumped Storage Station, opened in 2003, which is one of the larges pumped-storage hydro-electric power stations in Europe.</p><br>
<h2>Mountains and hills</h2><br>
<p>Around the steep-sided valleys of the Schwarza and Saale the height difference between hilltops and valley bottoms is often as much as 300 m or more, which is large for hills of this size.</p><br>

<p>The Weser Hills , also known in German as the Weserkette , form a low hill chain, up to, in the Weser Uplands in the German states of North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony.</p><br>
<p>The thickly wooded Weser ridge is one of the northern outliers of the German Central Uplands on the southern edge of the North German Plain and forms part of the TERRA.vita Nature Park in the west and Weser Uplands Schaumburg-Hameln Nature Park in the east.</p><br>
<p>The Weser Hills are widely known because of Schaumburg Castle which stands on the Nesselberg (c. ) in the Schaumburg district of the town of Rinteln, and is the emblem of Schaumburg Land.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The Weser Hills cross the counties of Minden-Lübbecke, Schaumburg and Hameln-Pyrmont in a roughly east-west direction, from the town of Porta Westfalica and the Westphalian Gap in the west past Rinteln to Hessisch Oldendorf in the east, where they transition seamlessly to the Süntel, a ridge of similar height running from northwest to southeast. They form part of the perimeter of the Weser Uplands and thus also the German Central Uplands which lie south of the North German Plain.</p><br>
<p>North of the Weser Hills there are only a few hills of the Calenberg Uplands, such as the nearby ridges of Harrl and Bückeberge. To the west, on the other side of the Porta Westfalica, the chain continues as the Wiehen Hills, geologically of similar formation, reaching Bramsche (northwest of Osnabrück).</p><br>
<p>South of the Weser Hills, and roughly parallel to them, flows the River Weser, from Hessisch-Oldendorf in the east, through Rinteln, towards Vlotho in the west, before turning northeast to the town of Porta Westfalica. These northern areas around the Upper Weser Valley, south of the hills are an old area of settlement, which was protected by Schaumburg Castle on the hill of Nesselberg. From the water gap at Porta Westfalica - the Westphalian Gap - the river swings north in order to reach the southern part of the North German Plain. North of the hills are the upper reaches of the Aue (also called the Bückeburger Aue) that run roughly east to west.</p><br>
<h2>Hills</h2><br>
<p>The Wesergebirge is a chain of about two dozen hills that are arranged one after another in a ridge and which reach a height of at the Möncheberg in the east. In its centre section, west of the A 2 motorway, they reach a maximum height of at the Wülpker Egge and a height of at the westernmost hill of the Weser chain, the Jakobsberg, which is located east of Porta Westfalica and on which the Jakobsberg transmission tower stands.</p><br>

<p>The Faulkner House is the oldest colonial-era structure still standing in Acton, Massachusetts. The Faulkner House was purchased in 1964 by Iron Work Farm in Acton, Inc., a Massachusetts non-profit corporation with a charter "to acquire and preserve the tangible landmarks of the area historically known as Iron Work Farm", now part of Acton. The Faulkner House is now being preserved under its stewardship.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Faulkner house was originally built for Ephraim Jones (1679–1710), the founder in 1702 of an early textile business and other mills that formed the nucleus of the present town of Acton. Being the largest and most central house of this settlement, it served as the local garrison house for protection during Indian raids made along the Massachusetts frontier during Queen Anne&#39;s War (1702–1713).</p><br>
<p>Ammi Ruhamah Faulkner rented the house and mills in 1738, then purchased them in 1742. “Ammi” and “Ruhamah” derived from Hebrew, and respectively meant “my people” and “have obtained mercy.” That was an appropriate name for someone whose mother had been accused of being a witch in the Salem and Andover witch trials of 1692-93. Abigail Faulkner, of Andover, would have been executed if not pregnant with him at the time of her conviction. She was pardoned by the governor before she gave birth. For 202 years, the Faulkner House was the homestead for six generations of the Faulkner family, prominent in many fields of endeavor. The family carried on the processing of woolen cloth at the fulling mill across the road from the house; the mill was said to have been one of the earliest attempts in the United States to manufacture woolen cloth on a large scale.</p><br>
<h2>American Revolution</h2><br>
<p>The Faulkner homestead served as a garrison for the South Acton Militia during the American Revolutionary War. As Paul Revere rode to raise alarm on April 18, 1775, he found that he would need more riders to continue the message. In Lexington, Revere found, and enlisted the help of, Dr. Samuel Prescott. Dr. Prescott was sent to Concord, and then to Acton. Prescott, after informing Captain Joseph Robbins, Isaac Davis, and Deacon Simon Hunt of the news, went to South Acton and then to the Faulkner house. Upon receiving the news, Major Francis Faulkner fired off three shots, the signal alarm, and soon the militia of Acton had assembled at the house. From Acton, a man named Edward Bancroft carried the message on towards Groton and Pepperell.</p><br>
<p>The Faulkner House and Jones Tavern are two historic properties in South Acton that are owned by Iron Work Farm in Acton, Inc., a non-profit, historical Massachusetts corporation with a charter to study the documents and preserve the tangible landmarks connected with the village of Acton. Exchange Hall is another historic property in South Acton that is in close proximity to both Jones Tavern and the Faulkner House.</p><br>
<p>Pembroke is a public housing community in northeast Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The area was listed as a national historic district on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Originally began in 1918 in order to house steel workers for the increased demand of steel in World War 1. The number of houses needed was overestimated and the USCH gave up on the project. By 1941, the Pembroke project was finished and contained 202 units of low-income public housing and it was the first such project in the City. By the early 1950s, the Bethlehem Housing Authority purchased additional, adjoining lands, including an 86 acre farm. The intention was to build additional affordable housing in the area. Between 1952 and 1962, the Authority built 570 units which included Marvine Village (400 units), Fairmount Homes (120) and Pfeifle Homes (50). These three developments added to Pembroke created one large community collectively known as the Northeast Developments.</p><br>
<p>Over the years, the buildings have undergone many millions of dollars in renovations. Pembroke was renovated in the 1990s, Fairmount and Marvine twice each since the 1980s. Comprehensive renovations were recently completed at Pfeifle Homes.</p><br>
<p>Presently, 20 new homes are being built in the area near Fairmount, to be called Bayard Homes. They add to BHA&#39;s inventory and guarantee that 5% of all BHA units are handicap-accessible.</p><br>
<h2>Emergency services</h2><br>
<h3>Police service</h3><br>
<p>Thanks to a long-term agreement between the housing authority and the City of Bethlehem, community police substations are a part of BHA properties, including the Marvine-Pembroke area. The community police concept is funded by BHA on an annual basis and in return, the BPD provides above baseline services for the community.</p><br>
<h2>Demographics</h2><br>
<p>The population breakdown in Pembroke is roughly 70% Hispanic, with remaining people being either Caucasian or African American. As is the case with all low-income public housing, the community is made up of families, some seniors and some who are disabled.</p><br>
<h2>Gang Activity</h2><br>
<p>Like many Pennsylvania communities, the Lehigh Valley has seen an influx of gangs from larger urban areas. It is thought that the completion of Interstate 78 in 1990 has contributed to this phenomenon. Despite this, official gang activities are limited in Bethlehem as evidenced by FBI crime statistics.</p><br>
<h2>Schools</h2><br>
<p>Pembroke is part of the Bethlehem Area School District.</p><br>
<h3>Elementary</h3><br>
<p>Marvine Elementary School - Demographics: 8% White, 17% African American, 75% Hispanic, with 86% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch program.</p><br>

<p>Witch Island  is an 18 acre wildlife sanctuary in South Bristol, Maine.</p><br>
<p>The island contains a beach large enough to host a kayak or canoe trip and thus the island is frequented by summer visitors looking for a day trip. Since the island is a sanctuary, it remains uninhabited. Currently, many of the hikers use the twigs and bark found on the islands&#39; trails to create miniature "witch houses" (the houses, although fewer in number, are similar to those found on Monhegan Island). The island is also named Davis Island, but the name Witch Island has been used as the accepted name both on maps and in conversation.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Local legend states the name "Witch Island" was given to the island in honor of the only person ever known to inhabit it. The lady, known as the "Witch of Wall Street," had a very successful career in financial consulting in New York City. She retired to live alone on the island until she was found dead in her cabin by local residents in the late 19th century. The foundation of her residence still exists on the island along with the accompanying water pipes and kitchen sink.</p><br>
<p>The Barnesville Historic District consists of the oldest part of Barnesville, Ohio, originally platted in 1808 and contains roughly 40 acres and 180 buildings. The district was added to the National Register on July 19, 1984.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Founding and growth: 1800–1860</h3><br>
<p>The area around Barnesville was settled by pioneer families, mostly Quaker, around the early 19th century. These early settlers arrived in the area after leaving Maryland, Pennsylvania and the southern states. A meeting house was built and cemetery was established to the east of the future site of Barnesville. This early settlement attracted the attention of a certain Maryland farmer.</p><br>
<p>Barnesville was first "laid out" in 1808 by James Barnes, who had travelled to the area hoping to create a new Quaker settlement in a rural setting. He found rolling landscape along a Drovers&#39; road ideal for a site and soon platted out lots and roads for his new town. Barnes was not alone in this venture as his brother, David, also made the trek out in hopes to find a better place for his family. The Barnes brothers owned much land and had a hand in the development of the village, owning a tannery, a brick yard, mills, and several farming and crop lands.</p><br>
<p>James soon left to return to Maryland, but his brother stayed as mayor of the developing town and took up residence on Main Street. Much of the architectural heritage from this period is lost to the current Victorian buildings. During the mid-to-late 19th century, more settlers, tired of the cramped eastern seaboard, migrated to places like Barnesville. A railroad was placed through the town in 1857, leading to what would be Barnesville&#39;s population boom.</p><br>
<h3>Expansion to industrialization: 1860–1950</h3><br>
<p>The railway brought with it industrialization and population growth. Watt Car and Wheel Company, The Eastern Ohio Glass Company, Hanlon Paper Company and the Barnesville Glass Company are some of the many manufacturing companies which moved into Barnesville during this time. The original plat was expanded to the north and south to accommodate the influx of residents. The town kept growing at a rate that the B&O Railroad built the town a much needed depot in 1916, which is also listed on the National Register.</p><br>
<p>It was during this time period that many of the current buildings were constructed, lending Barnesville a unique post-Civil War architectural theme. Many of the numerous churches were also built reflecting the variety of religious sectors that helped Barnesville grow (the town currently boasts 12 different churches within its limits).</p><br>
<p>The town particularly saw a growth during the World Wars, as the needs of the country turned to militarization. The Watt Car and Wheel Company increased production to keep up with the demand for coal, and also turned to manufacturing other wheel and accessory components for vehicles. The Glass Company also increased production for vehicles and ships during the war economy. When peace was finally declared after World War II, none in the town realized that it would begin a declining trend in the community.</p><br>
<h3>Decline to stabilization: 1950–present</h3><br>
<p>The armistice of the Korean War finally signalled an end to the war-time production demanded during the 1940s and many communities suffered as a result. Barnesville soon saw many businesses close their doors during the next few decades. As redevelopment emerged in the late 1960s to early 1970s, many building from this period were erased from existence. The large warehouses were soon replaced with houses and smaller businesses.</p><br>
<p>The town began to recover from this setback during the late 1980s and early 1990s. The town&#39;s historical integrity has been fairly maintained leading to a sense of pride in the community.</p><br>
<h2>The district today</h2><br>
<p>Many of the buildings currently standing date back to the Victorian era of building. The district includes several buildings well known in the area, such as the Bradfield Building, which once housed WesBanco, the Barnesville Municipal Building and the Belmont County Victorian Mansion Museum, as well as several private homes. The district totals 198 structures consisting of 180 contributing properties, as well as the Barnesville Railroad Tunnel located under the intersection of East Main and Arch Streets.</p><br>
<p>Much of the district play key roles in the Annual Barnesville Pumpkin Festival held every September, including West Main Street: the site of the King Pumpkin display.</p><br>
<h2>Prominent contributing properties</h2><br>
<p>Barnesville Presbyterian Church at 124 North Chestnut Street - Chinese pagoda-influenced church built by Frank Packard.</p><br>
<p>Belmont County Victorian Mansion Museum at 532 North Chestnut Street - a prominent Romanesque Revival house of the influential Bradfield family.</p><br>
<p>The Arthur Rogers House and Thomas Rogers House at 502 and 520 North Chestnut Street - Last remaining Second Empire-style houses in Barnesville.</p><br>
<p>Bradfield Building at 101 East Main Street - Romanesque Revival building built for the First National Bank of Barnesville.</p><br>
<p>Barnesville Municipal Building at 132 North Arch Street - Romanesque Revival building; only contributing property not located within district&#39;s bounds.</p><br>
<p>The Eagle River Historic District is a historic district located in Eagle River, Michigan, roughly covering Front Street, 2nd Street, 3rd Street, 4th Street, 5th Street, and Main Street. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The community of Eagle River, founded in 1843, is one of the oldest settlements in the Keweenaw peninsula. When Keweenaw County was organized, Eagle River was named the county seat. Its location on the shore of Lake Superior made Eagle River a natural port, and it served as a major shipping hub for the copper mined in the Keweenaw in the mid-19th century.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Eagle River Historic District includes most of the remaining structures that date from the early settlement of the community. These include early industrial plants as well as county buildings, commercial buildings, and private residences.</p><br>
<p>The earliest buildings, dating from the 1840s and 1850s, are located along East Main Street. These buildings, both commercial and residential, are simple rectangular structures, typically with symmetrical facades, gable roofs, and rear extensions. Other significant buildings include the town hall/school; the Keweenaw County Courthouse, Sheriff&#39;s residence, and jail; and the Eagle River Lighthouse. The district also includes stone and frame buildings structures that were once a fuse factory and brewery.</p><br>
<p>The Church of the Assumption is an historic Carpenter Gothic style Roman Catholic church located on US 41, 400 feet east of M-26 in Phoenix in Houghton Township, Michigan. It is also known as the Phoenix Church. The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1853, Frederic Baraga was consecrated as bishop of the Upper Peninsula diocese, and in 1854 he sent Rev. Henry L. Thiele to serve at the Eagle River mission, which included the town of Clifton at the Cliff mine. In 1858, Bishop Baraga authorized Thiele to construct a church near Clifton. A site for a church and cemetery was donated by the North American Mining Company, and Thiel hired Nicholas Grasser to build the church for $1860. It is likely that Bishop Baraga himself designed the church. Construction began in 1868, and was completed in 1869.</p><br>
<p>The church was consecrated as St. Mary&#39;s, but by 1883, the name was changed to the Church of the Assumption. The church was served from the mission at Eagle Harbor. In 1884, the Cliff Mine closed down and the population of Clifton dropped to almost nothing in a few years time. The nearby Phoenix Mine suffered the same fate, and with almost no parishioners left, the Church of the Assumption was closed. However, in 1899 the Phoenix Consolidated Copper Company made plans to reopen the Phoenix Mine, and the church was dismantled and reconstructed in its present location in Phoenix. During reconstruction, the architecture of the church was changed to give it a more Gothic appearance, installing Gothic windows, changing the roof pitch, and reconstructing the belfry and spire.</p><br>
<p>The Phoenix Mine closed again bu 1905, and the population of Phoenix again subsided. However, masses were held in the church until 1957, after which the church was finally closed. In 1985, the church was purchased by the Keweenaw County Historical Society, which undertook an extensive restoration process. As of 2009, the church (although deconsecrated) is still used for weddings and memorial services.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Church of the Assumption is a white-painted wooden building in what was once the mining town of Phoenix. The church is covered in clapboard, and stands on concrete block piers which replaced the original supporting posts made of mine timbers. The building consists of a gable-roof nave about sixty feet by twenty-four feet, with a centrally positioned entryway/tower and steeple in the front facade and a small rear addition. The roof is steeply pitched, and the double-door entry has a pointed top arch. Four tall Gothic windows line each side of the naves, and short upper and lower windows flank the entry tower, with additional windows in the towers side walls. Another window in the front face of the tower above the entry.</p><br>
<p>Inside there is a small vestibule in the base of the tower, which leads into the nave. The long narrow room has wooden floor boards and wood-sheathed walls. A gallery is above, and a central aisle leads toward the altar. A rectangular-plan Gothic wooden altar stands on a platform in the front, with tiers of candle shelves behind. A door in the center of the rear wall behind the altar leads to a small one-story hip-roof sacristy.</p><br>
<p>The US 41–Fanny Hooe Creek Bridge is a highway bridge located on US Highway 41  over the Fanny Hooe Creek about one mile east of Copper Harbor, adjacent to Fort Wilkins State Park, in Grant Township, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1913, the state of Michigan passed the State Trunk Line Act, which in part provided for the construction of a state route through Keweenaw, Houghton, Ontonagon and Gogebic counties. and the M-26–Cedar Creek Culvert around the same time.) The original cost of the bridge was $8,132.02.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The bridge spanning the Fanny Hooe Creek is a small concrete arch bridge (spanning 25 feet) with an elliptically shaped continuous arch ring and filled spandrels. It sits on a concrete foundation. The endwalls and parapet walls of the bridge have decoratively placed fieldstone work with grapevine mortar joints. Each parapet has four paneled concrete bulkheads which merge into pilasters along the sidewalls below grade level. The bridge is particularly significant because of its decorative stonework (unusual for Michigan bridges) and the degree of craftsmanship in its construction. George Tramp, an engineer with the Michigan State Highway Department in the 1920s, commented that, "after one sees the masonry work on this bridge they will agree that the art work of the stone mason has not been entirely lost."</p><br>
<p>The M-26–Cedar Creek Culvert is a short highway bridge located on M-26 over Cedar Creek in Eagle Harbor Township, Michigan. The Keweenaw County Road Commission built the bridge in 1930; they also built the M-26–Silver River Culvert and the US 41–Fanny Hooe Creek Bridge around the same time. The M-26–Cedar Creek Culvert was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The M-26–Cedar Creek Culvert spans the mouth of Cedar Creek, immediately south of Lake Superior. The bridge is configured as a two-barrel, multi-plate steel culvert. Each of the arches are ringed with irregular stone voussoir veneers. The endwalls and parapet walls contain decorative fieldstones with grapevine mortar joints. The parapets are banded on both sides by heavy stone bulkheads having pyramidally shaped concrete caps. The bulkheads extend below the level of the road, and continue as pilasters along the sidewalls. The Cedar Creek Culvert is unaltered and in excellent condition.</p><br>
<p>Holy Redeemer Church is an historic Carpenter Gothic style Roman Catholic church located at the west end of Center Street in Eagle Harbor, Michigan. It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1958 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Holy Redeemer Church was built in 1854. The church had high attendance when it was first constructed, but as the copper industry declined and the population of Eagle Harbor dropped at the end of the 19th century, the usage of the building dropped. The church sat vacant for many years, but near the end of the 20th century was refurbished and used for summer services.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>The structure is the oldest surviving Roman Catholic church in the Marquette Diocese. The construction was supervised by the diocese&#39;s first ordained priest, the Reverend Henry L. Thiele, and the church is dedicated to Bishop Frederic Baraga.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Holy Redeemer Church is a single-story Carpenter Gothic style structure with end gables. The entrance is shaped in a Gothic arch. The belfry is square, with Gothic arch openings, an octagonal steeple and an iron cross at the top. The interior is simply decorated.</p><br>
<p>The Wayne County Courthouse is a historic courthouse located in Richmond, Wayne County, Indiana. It was built during the period 1890-93, and is in the Richardsonian Romanesque style. The building was designed by Cincinnati, Ohio, architect James W. McLaughlin and the construction was supervised by New Castle, Indiana, architect William S. Kaufman. The "U"-shaped building measures approximately 214 feet by 128 feet, and is constructed of brick faced with Indiana Limestone. It features a projecting entrance pavilion, high pitched hipped and gable roofs, large semicircular arches, and octagonal corner tower. Architectural historians Michael Tomlan and Mary Raddant-Tomlan have suggested that the Wayne County Courthouse was influenced both in terms of exterior design and elements of interior layout by Henry Hobson Richardson&#39;s Allegheny County Courthouse in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. It borders the northern boundary of the Old Richmond Historic District which includes some of Richmond&#39;s earliest extant architecture.</p><br>
<p>The Thomas Alexander Burningham House at 2849 Pali Highway in Honolulu, Hawaii, built in 1910, is a good example of the earliest American Craftsman bungalow homes in the city. Its flaired hip roof and stone-and-stucco siding differentiate it from the many gabled, and often half-timbered, bungalows built during the 1920s. The architect was Thomas Gill , who designed the Oahu Country Club building and many residences in Honolulu between 1899 and 1941. The house was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<p>Thomas Alexander Burningham was an employee of a number of prominent local businesses: Von Hamm-Young, Castle & Cooke, Honolulu Iron Works, and Inter-Island Steam Navigation Company. Upon his death, the property passed to his nephew, George L. Burningham, who also worked at Inter-Island Steam Navigation Company.</p><br>
<p>The one-story, rectangular house is more substantial than many a bungalow, with a large living room with Chinese-style lights, three bedrooms separated by both screen and solid doors, and a hall leading to the kitchen and pantry. It also has a central vacuum system and a basement. The fine craftsmanship can be seen in its parquet floors, built-in furniture, and stained-glass windows. The lava rock used for the foundation, support piers, and texture in the stucco also show commitment to the use of local materials. However, the leaded glass for the windows and the glazed brick for the fireplace both came from Australia, and the beveled glass in the bifold doors to the lānais came from France.</p><br>
<p>Sequalitchew Creek, located in DuPont, Washington emanates from Sequalitchew Lake, Fort Lewis, Washington, was the location of the original Fort Nisqually trading post established in 1833 by the Hudson&#39;s Bay Company. The historic, natural flow of Sequalitchew Creek runs from Sequalitchew Lake, through Edmonds Marsh, down the canyon and out to the Puget Sound.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1832 the area that became Fort Nisqually was sited by Hudson’s Bay Company’s chief trader, Archibald McDonald. In cooperation with the Nisqually people, a storehouse for blankets, seeds, and potatoes was built at the mouth of Sequalitchew Creek.</p><br>
<p>1839 Nisqually Methodist Episcopal Mission was established, bringing the first USA citizens into the Puget Sound region near the creek canyon.</p><br>
<p>1841 Wilkes USA Exploring Expedition set up an observatory on the bluff near the creek to survey, map and chart the waters of Puget Sound. They joined the Americans at the mission to hold the first 4 July celebration west of the Mississippi River.</p><br>
<p>1843 Second Fort Nisqually. Business became mainly agricultural, and the fort was relocated on a flat-plains area near the banks of Sequalitchew Creek.</p><br>
<p>1904 First joint Army-National Guard training exercises on west coast were held. The massive encampment near Sequalitchew Creek included the “Buffalo Soldiers” of the 9th Cavalry.</p><br>
<p>In 1959 and 1960, Sequalitchew Lake was utilized by the Washington Department of Fisheries as a fish farm that reared and released coho salmon to Sequalitchew Creek. From 1976 until the mid-1990s the Washington Department of Fisheries operated a coho salmon fish hatchery and rearing facility on Sequalitchew Lake. In the past, Native Americans caught from 3,500 to 4,000 fish annually in Sequalitchew Creek.</p><br>
<h2>Course</h2><br>
<p>The total drainage basin of the Creek encompasses 38.4 square miles. This watershed begins at Kinsey Marsh, draining via Murray Creek into American Lake. Seasonal overflow from American Lake feeds Sequalitchew Lake. The water level of both lakes is maintained year round by springs and water table seepage. A diversion dam, built by Fort Lewis around 1950, lies near the headwaters of the Creek. The dam drains through a canal that originates in Hamer Marsh, east of the Creek. Just south of Sequalitchew Lake, the canal passes under the Creek through a series of complicated culverts. It continues west for one mile (1.6 km), and turns north to empty into Puget Sound at Tatsolo Point, off Steilacoom-DuPont Road, DuPont. The creek bed still carries water, in the form of ground water runoff, down the same historic creek path, finally emptying into the Puget Sound.</p><br>
<h2>Creek trail and beach</h2><br>
<p>The areas unparalleled natural beauty can be traversed on an old narrow gauge railway roadbed that ran from the DuPont Company area to Puget Sound. The trail leads to Sequalitchew beach. The creek corridor is used by hundreds of species, including eagles, hawks, song birds, herons, ducks, owls, frogs, salamanders, snakes, beaver, raccoons, coyotes, deer, and rabbits. The waters off Sequalitchew Beach are inhabited by harbor seal and gray whale.</p><br>
<h2>Proposed mining expansion</h2><br>
<p>A proposed 177 acre expansion of Glacier Northwest&#39;s, (recently renamed as Cal-Portland, previously known as Lone Star Gravel), existing gravel mine will involve the removal of 184 acre of forest and topsoil surrounding Sequalitchew Creek. If allowed, it will create a 550 acre hole in the underlying gravel as 40 million tons of gravel is extracted over the next 14 years. The pit will be 80 ft deep and expose the underlying Vashon Aquifer. The flow from this exposed aquifer (estimated at approximately 6.5 million gallons per day) will be directed down a man made ditch to Sequalitchew Creek with a flow eight times that of present Sequalitchew Creek. The dewatering of the aquifer will lower the groundwater level in the vicinity by as much as 30 ft, thereby draining nearby Edmonds Marsh, a Class I wetland. Nearby Pond Lake, McKay Marsh, Bell Marsh and Hammer Marsh will be adversely affected.</p><br>
<h3>DuPont staff recommendation</h3><br>
<p>On January 16, 2009, Bill Kingman, DuPont Planning Department signed on behalf of the City of DuPont to accept the proposed mining expansion as follows, (directly quoting):</p><br>
<p>Approval of expansion of the aggregate mine into the area proposed is recommended, but with conditions that change some of the characteristics of the proposal.</p><br>
<p>This approval would include:</p><br>
<p>Expansion of aggregate removal throughout the 177 acre proposed would be allowed.</p><br>
<p>Groundwater aquifer dewatering to lower the water table for access to additional aggregate would be allowed. This initially would be accomplished through interceptor wells. In the long term, construction of a portion of the proposed new North Sequalitchew Creek channel would permanently intercept groundwater and discharge to the existing Sequalitchew Creek.</p><br>
<p>Mitigation for potential groundwater aquifer drawdown impacts on Edmond Marsh would be accomplished by replacing invasive vegetation by native vegetation that will result in equal or greater wetland function and values.</p><br>
<p>Removal of the “Kettle Wetland” would be allowed with mitigation consisting of creation of replacement wetlands that may be located adjacent to the proposed new North Sequalitchew Creek channel.</p><br>
<p>Displacement of wetland functions at the Seep and Riparian Forest wetlands adjacent to Sequalitchew Creek due to interception of groundwater from the excavation for aggregate removal would be approved with mitigation consisting of replacement wetlands.</p><br>
<p>The conditions of approval would not allow the excavation of the north side of the existing Sequalitchew Creek ravine but would, instead, require installation of a bored pipeline approximately 500 ft long.</p><br>
<p>Glacier Northwest’s current Conditional Use Permit to expand the mine, and dewater the aquifer and creek violates the 1994 Settlement Agreement as established by the Nisqually Delta Association. DuPont Municipal Code specifically protects wetlands. Although a signatory, the city of DuPont ignored the &#39;94 agreement and their own municipal code and did not discourage Glacier from applying to expand their mining extraction.</p><br>
<p>In accordance with the &#39;94 Agreement, parties are now meeting regularly to determine next steps.</p><br>
<h3>Sequalitchew Village</h3><br>
<p>describes future use of the mining area, Sequalitchew Creek and dewatering of the aquifer to include total build out of approximately 2,138 residences. The proposed neighborhood would be named Sequalitchew Village.</p><br>
<h3>Memorandum of Understanding</h3><br>
<p>A Memorandum of Understanding has been crafted regarding the supplemental review process for Glacier NW&#39;s mining expansion at Sequalitchew Creek. The document was introduced to the council at their October 13, 2009 meeting, to be signed and approved. Several council members expressed concern about lack of public review. Public review and comment is currently being solicited, after which the document will then be again considered at the November 10, 2009 meeting.</p><br>

<p>The Gates–Daves House, also known as The Daves Place, is a historic residence in Mobile, Alabama. The one-story structure was built in 1841 with a Creole architectural influence, the best remaining example of its type in Mobile. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 20, 1974, due to its architectural significance.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Gates–Daves House stands on a portion of a Spanish land grant deeded to Antonio Espejo during Mobiles colonial period. In 1841 the property was purchased by Hezekiah Gates from Charles Dellinger for $3500, local tradition maintains that the house was constructed that same year. Gatess widow, Adele then sold the house to Camellia Bull in 1850 and she in turn sold to Thomas K. Daves in 1856.</p><br>
<h2>Architectural characteristics</h2><br>
<p>The house is a wood-frame structure on low brick piers. It originally comprised a main block measuring 57 ft wide and 27 ft deep, with projecting rear wings. The rear portion was remodeled in the 20th century. The unaltered front portion features a seven bay facade with French doors set into each bay, the central door is surrounded by sidelights and a transom window.</p><br>
<p>Toro Peak, in Southern California, is the highest mountain in the Santa Rosa Mountain Range. It is located 15 miles south of Palm Springs, 12 miles west of the Salton Sea, and 31 miles east of Temecula, California.</p><br>
<p>Part of the mountain is under the jurisdiction of the San Bernardino National Forest. Another portion, including the 8,717 ft summit and the United States Geological Survey marker on the summit (registered in 1939), is gated and controlled by the Santa Rosa Indian Reservation. A third portion of the mountain is administered by the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The mountain is accessible from California State Route 74 (also known as the Pines to Palms Highway) via a dirt road approximately 5 miles east of Route 74&#39;s junction with Route 371.</p><br>
<p>The dirt road begins at an elevation of 4,700 feet and heads towards the summit for approximately 13 miles. A 4x4 or off-road vehicle is recommended because the road is steep and rocky. It comes to a locked gate around 8,200 ft and from there it is a 500-foot hike to the summit up a rough maintenance road that passes the former MCI (now owned by Verizon Communications) primary power generator that provides electricity to the summit.</p><br>
<h2>Top of the Peak</h2><br>
<p>From Toro Peak&#39;s summit one can see the Santa Rosa Mountain Range to Palm Springs, and neighboring mountains such as San Jacinto Peak, Mount San Gorgonio, Palomar Mountain, and Hot Springs Mountain. To the east/southeast, the Salton Sea and Imperial Valley are visible. From the peak in good weather Charleston Peak in Nevada is also visible.</p><br>
<h2>Vegetation</h2><br>
<p>Toro Peak and the Santa Rosa Mountains come under the category of sky island mountains. Vegetation on the mountain is a mixed variety of trees: Incense Cedar, White Fir, Jeffrey Pine, Ponderosa Pine, Sugar Pine and on the highest slopes Limber Pine, which is an ice age remnant species. Typical of mountains closest to the Pacific in California, these trees ignore the elevation separations of vegetation (known as life zones) that are found on many other mountains. For example, in the adjacent picture, trees such as White Fir and Incense Cedar, are seen growing on the lowest extent of the mountain beside dryer, weather-tolerant trees such as Jeffrey Pine and Ponderosa Pine.</p><br>
<h2>Climate</h2><br>
<p>In winter, the weather on Toro Peak and the Santa Rosa Mountains can be difficult. Snow falls on the mountain more than a few times during the winter and accounts for most of the annual precipitation, with a smaller percentage coming from scattered thunderstorms during the summer. Nighttime and daytime seasonal lows in the winter and seasonal summer highs are taken from the Long Valley Ranger Station on neighboring Mount San Jacinto.</p><br>
<p>This mountain is one of the many scattered sky islands in the southwest. Toro Peak&#39;s high elevation helps clear the smog emitted from Los Angeles and the Inland Empire. There is limited human activity beyond a few remote campsites on various parts of the mountain.</p><br>
<p>The Keweenaw Mountain Lodge and Golf Course Complex is a resort located near Copper Harbor, Michigan. It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1976 listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970, and open to the public.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Keweenaw Mountain Lodge Complex covers 167 acre, and consists of multiple buildings, including the main lodge and 23 cabins. A golf course, constructed at the same time as the lodge and cabins, covers much of the remaining land. Mountain bike trails and a disc golf course have been added in recent years. All structures within the district are unified by their rustic construction; the structures have low gable roofs and are made using rough-cut stone and dark painted logs.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>During the early 1930s, the Great Depression hit Keweenaw County hard. The mining industry had fallen on hard times, and unemployment stood at over seventy percent. Ocha Potter, the head of the Keweenaw County Road Commission and superintendent of Ahmeek Mine, conceived of constructing a resort complex in the county. In 1933, he applied to the federal government for funding under the newly created Civil Works Administration. The county Board of Park Trustees had previously negotiated purchase of 167 acre of land from the Keweenaw Copper Company, situated about 1 mi south of Copper Harbor.</p><br>
<p>Clearing of the forest cover began in the winter of 1933/34, and the stumps were cleared as the weather let up. The logs from the property were used construct the lodge. By the end of 1934, the lodge was nearly completed and the first nine holes of the golf course were cleared and seeded. (A second planned nine holes was never completed.) In 1935, another project to build 20 cabins was approved by the Works Progress Administration, which were completed during the next few years. Four additional cottages were built in 1947/48 using profits from the operation of the lodge.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>The lodge complex was designed and built in 1934 and 1935, in the depths of the Great Depression, using crews of local workmen. The construction was overseen by Keweenaw County and used federal relief money. The site is an example of government-funded work projects designed to boost local economies, and is significant in its effort to protect and maintain the environment while offering recreational opportunity.</p><br>
<p>The Ebbe Mountains  or Ebbe form a range of uplands up to high in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. They have given their name to the Ebbe Mountain Nature Park and are part of the Süder Uplands within the Rhine Massif.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<h3>Location</h3><br>
<p>The Ebbe lies in the Sauerland in the districts of Märkischer Kreis and Olpe. It stretches between Herscheid and Plettenberg (outside the area) in the north, Attendorn and Finnentrop (outside the area) in the east, the Biggesee in the south and Kierspe and Meinerzhagen in the west, where the Ebbe Hills are surrounded by the Ebbe Hills Nature Park. It is grazed by the A 45 motorway in the west.</p><br>
<h3>Hills</h3><br>
<p>The highest elevation in the Ebbe Mountains is the Nordhelle between Valbert and Herscheid. Other notable hills are the: Rehberg (645.9 m), Rüenhardt (636.0 m), Waldberg (ca. 635 m), Rothenstein (ca. 600 m), Der Griesing (552,6 m), Homert (538,3 m) and Kahler Kopf (540.1 m).</p><br>
<h3>Rivers and lakes</h3><br>
<p>The following rivers rise in the Ebbe or around its edges: the Bruchbach, Else, Fürwigge, Ihne, Lister, Oesterbach, Verse and Volme. Within the Ebbe and its foothills are the Ahaus Reservoir, the Biggesee and the Fürwigge, Jubach, Lister, Oester and Verse Dams.</p><br>
<p>Laura Place Bathwick, Bath, Somerset, England, consists of four blocks of houses around an irregular quadrangle at the end of Pulteney Bridge. It was built by Thomas Baldwin and John Eveleigh between 1788 and 1794.</p><br>
<p>Numbers 4, 5 and 6 are combined with Numbers 1 to 7 Great Pulteney Street, and others with Henrietta Street.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The fountain at the center of the quadrangle was not part of the original plan; it was added in the late 19th century. After completion of the main street in 1877 local residents petitioned and successfully raised significant funds to build a grand column (rather like Nelson&#39;s Column in London). However, as construction of the column started, the residents realised that the addition would tower over the area (it would be 50% taller than the houses), and so they then petitioned for it to be cancelled. After some negotiations, the column was pulled down and the much smaller fountain added instead. It consists of a circular stone basin with four radial projections surmounted by an urn with gadrooned bowl.</p><br>
<p>Loch Lomond is a large spring-fed lake located 102 m above Lake Superior, 6 km south of the city of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. It is located in behind Mount McKay, in the Fort William First Nation and Neebing Municipality. Loch Lomond is considered to be a deep oligotrophic lake. The natural re-charge level of Loch Lomond from underground spring water is estimated at 57,100 m&sup3; per day.</p><br>
<p>It is approximately 9 km long and averages about 1.6 km in width. The extreme depths over most of its area causes the greater part of Loch Lomond to become stratified each summer and has characteristically low temperatures in the hypolimnion.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>This body of water bore the Ojibwe name Gaa-zaasaagijiwegamaag (recorded as "kazazeekeege waigamag") meaning "the high lake that is always overflowing", but a Scotsman of the North West Company thought it so much looked like the original Loch Lomond that he named it as such.</p><br>
<p>During the year 1906 the city of Fort William began tunnelling through the rock of Mount McKay and laying water pipe, but it was not until 1909 that the first water flowed through the pipes and into the homes of residents of Fort William. The engineering department of the city of Fort William was headed by city engineer H. Sydney Hancock Jr., who was Waterworks engineer from February 1906 to February 1911. He was in charge of the construction of the Loch Lomond Water Supply system. Fort Williams water supply was contaminated in 1906 leading to a typhoid epidemic. The City Councils response was to construct a tunnel under the Kaministiquia River to bring pure water to Fort William from Loch Lomond. Tunnels were drilled through Mount McKay to the Loch at a final cost of $500,000. The system was completed in 1910. In 2006, the Bare Point Water Treatment Plant on Thunder Bay was expanded to serve the entire city from a single source.</p><br>
<p>In order to prevent pollution all activities including travel and fishing are prohibited on Loch Lomond.</p><br>
<p>Cavendish Place is a Georgian terrace in Bath, Somerset, England. It was built in between 1808 and 1816 by John Pinch the elder. Numbers 1 to 13 have been designated as Grade I listed buildings.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Nos. 1 and 2 are a continuation of Park Place, which faces south. No. 3 has a curved front, linking Nos. 1-2 to the rest of the terrace, which continues northwards, facing west. The houses in Park Place are smaller than Nos. 3-13 of Cavendish Place, so Pinch made No. 2 slightly shorter than No. 3 and No. 1 slightly shorter than No. 2, to avoid a sudden change in height between the two terraces.</p><br>
<p>Each building has 4 storeys plus a basement and rises 2 ft as the terrace climbs up the hill. To give visual continuity along the stepping terrace, the platband and the cornice are ramped up at the end of each house, instead of abruptly breaking and restarting at each step. This technique was used by Pinch at various sloping sites in Bath.</p><br>
<p>Unusually for a Bath terrace, some of the houses have painted exteriors. In other parts of the country, Georgian houses were painted, but Bath stone was usually considered presentable enough without paint.</p><br>
<h2>Bombing and Reconstruction</h2><br>
<p>In 1942 Nos. 6-9 were severely damaged by incendiary bombs. These houses were repaired in 1949.</p><br>
<p>The Fiddler&#39;s Reach Fog Signal is a fog signal station located on the Kennebec River in Arrowsic, Maine, in Sagadahoc County. It is about 1,100 ft SW of the front light of the Doubling Point Range Lights, and about 2,000 ft east of Doubling Point Light. The pyramidal bell structure was built in 1914, two years after a large steamship, the Ransom B. Fuller, ran aground in the fog on this section of the river.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The signal was rung to assist ships navigating the treacherous S-bend section of the river known as Fiddler Reach. It was a bell from 1914 until the late sixties and then a horn until it was discontinued in 1982. The signal, while not part of the Kennebec River Light Station, was tended by its station keeper. He reached it along a footpath that included a boardwalk and two wooden bridges. While it was a bell, it was rung by means of a clockwork counter weight system that had to be rewound every 4 hours. Bell signals were distinguished by the number of strokes and length of time between them. This signal was two strokes every twenty seconds.</p><br>
<p>The structure eventually fell into disrepair. The original bell was removed by the Coast Guard in 1972 and is now displayed on the campus of the Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut.</p><br>
<p>It was restored by volunteer effort of the "Range Light Keepers", a self-described "group of interested local Maine citizens and visitors".</p><br>
<p>A replacement bell has been obtained and kept at the Arrowsic Town Hall.Until 2016 when the bell was installed on the tower&#39;s exterior bell arm</p><br>
<p>The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on August 5, 2009 and the listing was announced as the featured listing in the National Park Service&#39;s weekly list of August 14, 2009.</p><br>
<p>The James L. Coke House, also called Waipuna , at 3649 Nuuanu Pali Drive in Honolulu, Hawaii was built in 1934 for Judge James L. Coke, who had that year been reappointed Chief Justice of the Hawaii Supreme Court by USA President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Its architecture is significant as an example of the residential work of C.W. Dickey, the most prominent local architect of the period, and its landscaping represents the work of the preeminent landscape architect of the period, Richard Tongg. The house and grounds were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>The house is not typical of Dickey&#39;s residential work, but displays fine craftsmanship and is well adapted to an indoor-outdoor lifestyle. It is a two-story, double-wall building on an L-shaped plan, with a gabled roof over one wing and a hipped roof over the other. The outside walls are of brick on the ground floor, with clapboard siding on the upper floor, both painted white. The interior floors are of ohia wood and the stairway bannister and dining room chandelier are of wrought iron.</p><br>
<p>Tongg landscaped both the front yard and the back lot, which straddles Nuuanu Stream, during 1935&ndash;37. Among his other notable landscape designs were Andrews Outdoor Theatre at the University of Hawaii, the Alexander & Baldwin Building, local residences for George W. Vanderbilt and Doris Duke, and the central concourse garden at Honolulu International Airport.</p><br>
<p>McMahan Homestead, also known as Landmark Acres, is a historic home located in Westfield in Chautauqua County, New York. It is a two story, five bay wood frame dwelling built in about 1820. The home features a semicircular portico with a denticulated cornice and corinthian columns that was added in the 20th century. On this property is a barn dating from the early 1800s. The home was constructed by Chautauqua County&#39;s first settler, Col. James McMahan, who came to Westfield in 1802 from Northumberland County, Pennsylvania. The property is the oldest settled property in Chautauqua county with an original deed from the Holland Land Company for a large portion of Chautauqua County and has the oldest landmark in the county. Chautauqua County celebrated its 100th anniversary, 1902, on the front lawn of the McMahan homestead. In 2002 Chautauqua county celebrated its 200th anniversary also on the property.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>The Lakewood Balmoral Historic District is a historic district in the Edgewater community area of Chicago, Illinois. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 12, 1999. The district covers an area of about 63 acre; its boundaries are Magnolia Avenue to the east, Wayne Avenue to the west, Foster Avenue to the south, and Bryn Mawr Avenue to the north.</p><br>
<p>The area is easily accessible from the Berwyn station on the Chicago "EL" train&#39;s red line.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>John Lewis Cochran, the first major developer in the Edgewater area, purchased the land which makes up the Lakewood Balmoral district in 1890. Known as Cochrans Third Addition to Edgewater, the region was marketed to middle-class families, as opposed to the Edgewater lakefront, which was mostly mansions at the time. Many of the streets in the district were named by Cochran. Berwyn Avenue, Bryn Mawr Avenue and Wayne Avenue were named after stations on the Main Line running north of his native Philadelphia. Catalpa Avenue was named after a street in Philadelphia, Lakewood Avenue after the town of Lakewood, New Jersey, and Balmoral—a nod to Cochrans Scottish ancestry—after Balmoral Castle in Scotland.</p><br>
<p>The Lakewood Balmoral district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. In 1999, it included 490 buildings deemed to contribute to the historic character of the area.</p><br>
<p>The Lippe Uplands  is a range of hills in Ostwestfalen-Lippe within the administrative district of Detmold in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The Lippe Uplands are part of the Weser Uplands and are delineated by the river Werre in the west and the Weser in the north and east. To the south the Lippe Uplands merge into the Egge Hills and the Oberwälder Land. The landscape has sharp variations in relief: rounded peaks (Kuppen) alternate with steep ridges, and flat depressions with hills dissected by valleys. Three larger rivers - the Weser, Werre and Bega, cut deeply into the terrain, the Lippe Uplands dropping away down into their valleys. The highest elevation is the Köterberg at 495.8 m.</p><br>
<h2>Flora and fauna</h2><br>
<p>The woods are dominated by stands of beech and oak. The agricultural land is almost exclusively used for arable farming. Rare and protected animals and plants are found along the partly, almost natural river courses. Some of the rivers are therefore under environmental protection.</p><br>

<p>L&#39;Hermitage is a Greek Revival plantation home. Marius Pons Bringier commissioned the home to be built in Burnside, Ascension Parish, Louisiana, as a wedding gift for his son, Michel Douradou Bringier , in 1812.</p><br>
<p>Michel Bringier served at the Battle of New Orleans (1814-15) during the War of 1812. LHermitage was named after General Andrew Jacksons home in Nashville, Tennessee. General and Mrs. Jackson visited here in the 1820s.</p><br>
<p>This is likely the plantation on which Pierre Caliste Landry grew up; he was born on the Prevost plantation and was purchased at age 13 (circa 1854) by a Bringier family member who inherited L&#39;Hermitage. After the American Civil War, Landry became Mayor of Donaldsonville and the first African American mayor in the United States.</p><br>
<p>Roundtop Hill is a mountain in Washington County, Maryland, southwest of the town of Hancock. The elevation at the summit is 1,358 ft.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Unlike surrounding mountains, Roundtop Hill is not part of an extended ridge system, and is only about 2 mi in length. It is located just under 1 mi from the crest of Tonoloway Ridge, about 3.5 mi southwest of Hancock. Its presence causes a large bend in the Potomac River, which curves around its eastern slope. Much of the eastern face is part of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park and the canal bed and tow path pass along the narrow bank at its base.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>Outstanding outcrops of the Silurian Wills Creek Formation and underlying Bloomsburg Formation are exposed along the old railroad grade at Roundtop Hill. Examples of folding, formation of cleavage, thrust faulting, and the deformation of bedded rocks are visible. About 500 feet of strata are exposed.</p><br>
<p>The former Kingston City Library building is located on Broadway in the center of Kingston, New York, United States. It is a brick Carnegie library built in 1903 in the Classical Revival architectural style.</p><br>
<p>It served continuously as the citys library until 1974, when it was closed after a newer library was built in the citys Stockade District. Since then it has been the property of the Kingston City School District, which has used it as the offices for the janitorial department at neighboring Kingston High School. In 1995 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Starting in 2009, the library was renovated into an arts and technology center. On September 12, 2011, it was officially reopened as the Carnegie Learning Center used by Kingston High School and the community.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The library building sits on a 11,250 ft&sup2; lot on the south side of Broadway, slightly raised from street level. Kingston Hospital is across the street, as is City Hall. Just to the east is Kingston High School.</p><br>
<p>It is a one-and-a-half-story rectangular building of brown brick on a rough-cut bluestone foundation. A limestone pedimented entry portal is located in the middle of the front. It is heavily decorated with classical motifs. Two ionic columns frame the recessed entrance. On the pediment itself is a book-and-flower frieze. Limestone bands also go around the building at both the lower end of the brick and the top level of the fenestration.</p><br>
<p>Both interior floors are 2,700 ft&sup2;. The lower floor has what was once a lecture hall with raised dais, two study rooms, two bathrooms and a boiler room. A staircase with a Craftsman-style bannister leads up to the main floor, where there are remnants of a cast iron mezzanine for book stacks. Leaded pane glass partitions divide the rooms. Two fireplace surrounds remain at either end.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Kingston established its first public library in 1899, a quarter-century after it had been formed from a merger of the previous villages of Kingston and Rondout. It was housed in a room in City Hall, but within three years of the librarys establishment it had already outgrown it. In 1902 the librarys trustees wrote to Andrew Carnegie, who had funded libraries all over the world, to see if he would consider providing them with the money to build a freestanding library.</p><br>
<p>His secretary wrote back. If the city of Kingston would commit itself to spending $3,000 a year ($ in contemporary dollars) to maintain the library, Carnegie would donate $30,000 ($740,000 in contemporary dollars) to build it. City Council accepted the offer and passed an ordinance establishing the required level of funding and accepting Carnegie&#39;s gift. Local steamboat magnate Samuel Coykendall donated the land, provided the trustees raise money for its purchase through subscription. Ground was broken in 1903 and the new building was opened the next year.</p><br>
<p>It remained the citys library until 1974, when more space was needed and the current library on Franklin Street was built. After the library moved out, it became property of the school district. The interior was heavily modified to serve as classroom space, but that proved unworkable. It was used as the offices of the high schools custodial services until renovations.</p><br>
<p>During that time the building was neglected, and the front entrance was fenced off from the sidewalk. In 2009 school district voters approved a $3.6 million proposal to rehabilitate the library building into an arts and technology center. The building is now open to the Kingston City School District.</p><br>
<p>The King and Prince Beach & Golf Resort is a resort located on St. Simons Island in the USA state of Georgia.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The hotel began in 1935 as the King and Prince Beach Club, a seaside dance club built by Morgan T. Wynne and Franklin J. Horne. It was noted for its big band entertainment and dancing. After two fires, the club was rebuilt and opened on July 2, 1941 as the King and Prince Hotel. Used as a training facility and radar station by the Navy during World War II, the island resort reopened its doors to the public in 1947. In 1972 and 1982 the resort underwent substantial building renovations and expansions.</p><br>
<p>The King and Prince was the host of the 1957 Bilderberg meeting. The King and Prince Beach and Golf Resort was made a member of Historic Hotels of America in 1966, the official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>

<p>The Boice House is located on Fair Street in Kingston, New York, United States. It was first built around 1850 in the Greek Revival architectural style.</p><br>
<p>Twenty years later, it was bought by Hewett Boice, a local quarry operator. He had the house refurbished in the then-popular Second Empire style. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<h2>Property</h2><br>
<p>It is a two-and-a-half-story frame building with a two-story rear wing on a stone and brick foundation on the east side of Fair Street. Nearby on that side of the street are the Chichester and William Kenyon houses, both also listed on the Register. It is topped with a mansard roof shingled in patterned slate with an overhanging, bracketed eave. The roof is pierced by round-arched decorated dormer windows.</p><br>
<p>The five-bay west (front) facade has an ornate Victorian porch along its entire first story. On the south elevation is a projecting bay window and the remains of a porte-cochere.</p><br>
<p>A central hall with pressed-metal ceilings, lincrusta wall coverings and flat-paneled wainscoting opens up from the entrance vestibule. A finely crafted staircase goes up from the side, its landing lit by a stained glass window. There are Greek Revival moldings in every room on the first floor, and Italianate marble fireplace surrounds in the parlors.</p><br>
<p>Outside are several contributing resources. Five are objects, all made of bluestone: a carriage mounting block with "H. BOICE" carved into it, hitching post, two plinth blocks with planters, and a walkway. The former carriage house at the rear of the property, now converted to a garage, is also contributing.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The minimal records available for the history of Fair Street in the late 19th century, when it was the residence of many of the city&#39;s most affluent residents, suggest that the house was built around 1850 by Erastus Cooke, a local lawyer. In 1869 he sold it to Elizabeth P. Cockburn of Hurley, NY. In 1885, she and her husband Wiliam Cockburn sold the house to Hewitt Boice, whose quarry had provided some of the stone for the Brooklyn Bridge, for $7,000 ($ in contemporary dollars). He renovated its exterior in a high Second Empire style, most of which remains intact.</p><br>
<p>In 1917 Boice&#39;s daughter, Virginia Boice Seeley inherited it. She, in turn, deeded it to her stepmother, Katherine Deyo Boice, who remarried and lived there until she died in 1953. It has been through several other owners since then but remains a private residence.</p><br>
<p>The Lenne Mountains , or Lenne Uplands , is a range of hills up to high in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. It is part of the Süder Uplands within the Rhine Massif.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<h3>Location</h3><br>
<p>The Lenne Mountains lie in the Sauerland within the districts of Märkischer Kreis, Olpe and Hochsauerlandkreis. They are located north and northeast of the middle reaches of the Lenne between Hemer and Iserlohn to the northwest, Sundern to the north, Eslohe to the east, Finnentrop to the south, Plettenberg and Werdohl to the southwest and Altena to the west. The towns of Balve und Neuenrade lie within the Lenne Mountain region. The mountains forms the heart of the Homert Nature Park.</p><br>
<p>The Lenne Mountains are the northeastern continuation of the Ebbe Mountains, from which it is separated by the deep valley of the Lenne. To the northeast, on the other side of the river Ruhr, is the Arnsberg Forest, to the east the Fredeburg Land, to the southeast the Saalhausen Hills and to the west the Märkisches Land.</p><br>
<p>The uplands are crossed from southwest to northeast by a section of the B 229 federal road and the B 236 passes along its southwestern perimeter in a northwest-southeast direction.</p><br>
<h3>Hills</h3><br>
<p>The highest elevation is the Homert roughly south of Meinkenbracht. Other hills are the Schomberg, Waldeshöhe, Baukloh, Reinscheid, Denstenberg, Kohlberg, Hommert and Kleiner Hemberg.</p><br>
<h3>Rivers and lakes</h3><br>
<p>The largest river in the region is the Lenne itself, whose middle course grazes the hills to the south and southwest. The following rivers rise in hills: the Hönne, Röhr, Sorpe und Salwey. The Sorpesee is a lake in the northern part of the range, in the south is the Glingebach Dam and in the east the Esmecke Reservoir.</p><br>
<p>The Saalhausen Hills  are a range of hills up to high in the Sauerland region within the districts of Olpe and Hochsauerlandkreis in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. They are part of the Rhine Massif and lie within the Süder Uplands.</p><br>
<p>The hills are named after the village of Saalhausen, part of the town of Lennestadt, which is located on the southern edge of this forested region.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The Saalhausen Hills are part of the South Sauerland Rothaar foothills (Südsauerländer Rothaarvorrückens), which belong to the West Sauerland Uplands (geographical unit no. 336). The hills are clearly delineated in the south by the Lenne and cover that part of the Sauerland between Lennestadt in the west and Schmallenberg in the east. To the northwest are the foothills of the Lennegebirge, to the southeast the Rothaargebirge, to the southwest other elements of the South Sauerland Rothaar foothills and to the northeast the Fredeburger Land. The hills, whose southwest and central areas fall within the Rothaargebirge Nature Park, are located north of the upper Lenne valley, southeast of the Elspebach and southwest of the upper course of the Wenne.</p><br>
<h2>Hills</h2><br>
<p>The highest elevation in the Saalhausen Hills is the high Himberg. Other hills include the Auergang, Ösenberg, Hoher Lehnberg, Hoher Hagen, Jürgensberg, Beerenberg, Haferhagen, Kuhhelle, Stöppelkopf and Robecker Berg.</p><br>
<h2>Tourism</h2><br>
<p>A section of the Homert Trail runs through the Saalhausen Hills over a pass between the Himberg and Hoher Lehnberg.</p><br>
<p>The First Congregational Church  is a church located at 53248 N Avenue  in the Linden Lake Historic District in Lake Linden, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, and is significant for its impeccable architectural integrity.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The First Congregational Church is a spectacular example of Victorian stick architecture. The church is a rectangular asymmetrically-massed front gable structure atop a foundation of mine rock The exterior features dramatic woodwork styling, with fishscale and flat-edged shingles made of pine and separated into sections by stickwork. The gable over the entrance and the tower sides are constructed with diagonal siding; focal points there and on the sides of the church are sided in herringbone and pinwheel shapes, fremed with more stickwork and carved floral rosettes. The church has an open front porch with contrasting turned railings.</p><br>
<p>The interior includes the pastor&#39;s office, kitchen, and meetinghall. The meetinghall has wainscoted walls, a hardwood ceiling, and more intricate stickwork; is also installed. The organ is believed to be the oldest tracker-style pipe organ in Michigan.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The First Congregational Church founded in 1882 by a small group of Scottish residents, headed by Allen McIntyre, which included a number of prominent businessmen and employees of the local Calumet and Hecla Mining Company. It soon became apparent that the congregation would need its own church, and a building committee was formed in 1886. The Calumet and Hecla Mining Company donated land, and the committee procured architectural drawings from Holabird and Roche, using them to build the church for an original cost of $8325. The building was dedicated in February 1887, three months before a devastating fire swept through Lake Linden; the church was one of the few frame buildings in the area to escape damage.</p><br>
<p>The church continued to be in use until the 1980s, when the congregation dwindled to the point where they were not large enough to maintain the building. The church was deeded to the Houghton County Historical Society, which has continued to use and maintain it as the Houghton County Heritage Center. Limited restoration has been ongoing since 1993; the restoration included repainting the church in the original colors.</p><br>
<p>The Blue Bell is at 63–65 Northgate Street, Chester, Cheshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building. Originally it consisted of two medieval houses which were joined together in the 18th century. The pavement runs through the ground floor storey of the northern part of the building, leaving a separate cabin or chamber between the pavement and the road.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building dates from the mid- to late 15th century, It was originally two houses, which were joined in the 18th century. It formed part of Lorimer&#39;s Row, a group of buildings with an arcade at ground level, as distinct from the Rows in the centre of the city whose walkways are at the first floor level.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The building is timber-framed on a sandstone plinth with brickwork added later which has subsequently been rendered and painted. The roofs are of grey slates. The two buildings comprising the whole have separate frames each with roofs leading to gables over the street. At ground level the southern part of the building has an arcade open to the street with a pier to the south and an octagonal column south of the centre. The northern part has a separate cabin or chamber adjacent to the street with the walkway between its rear and the rest of the building. On the street side of the chamber is a three-pane canted oriel window and a door. On the upper floor each part of the building has a horizontal window with a small one-paned window between them.</p><br>
<p>The Nuyaka Mission, Oklahoma site is located in Okmulgee County, Oklahoma, approximately 15.7 miles west of the intersection of USA Route 75 and State Highway 56  in the City of Okmulgee, Oklahoma. The Nuyaka Mission is included on the National Register of Historic Places listings in Okmulgee County, Oklahoma. The mission was established by Alice Mary Robertson at the request of the Creek Council, and run by the Presbyterian Church.</p><br>
<p>Initially the Creek principal chief proposed to name the mission Robertson Institute, in honor of William S. Robertson, but his daughter, Augusta, wrote a letter stating that the family preferred that the name should be from the Creek language. Therefore, Nuyaka Mission was named for the nearby Creek town of Nuyaka. Ironically, some of the official correspondence cited by Carolyn Thomas Foreman, gives the name as "New Yorker Mission" and "Nuyarker Mission."</p><br>
<p>The mission consisted of four buildings. One building contained a chapel/assembly room and some school class rooms. The second building held the superintendent&#39;s apartment and housed the boys. The other two buildings were cottages that housed the girls and the teachers who supervised them. Initially, the mission enrolled seventy boys and girls. It had seven female teachers and one man who supervised the boys after school hours.Rev. Thomas Ward Perryman, a Creek who had been educated at Tullahassee Mission, was the first pastor and taught religious classes.</p><br>
<p>Per the granite marker at the site:</p><br>
<p>"Established in 1882 by the Creek Council, Nuyaka Mission was a boarding school for Boys and Girls by the Presbyterians from 1884 to 1899. The Creek Tribe then operated the school for ten years. From 1909 until 1921 it was operated by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. From 1921 to 1933 it was operated by the Baptists."</p><br>
<p>"In 1936, the buildings were removed and E.E. Mount bought the site to prevent its destruction. In 1937, his daughter and son-in-law, Oakla and Bill Spears, bought the site and lived in the Dormitory Superintendents home for 54 years. Interested in the sites history, they interviewed former students and children of former superintendents. Their efforts led to the preservation of the property which they donated to the Oklahoma Historical Society in 1992."</p><br>
<p>Pursuant to the Oklahoma Legislature&#39;s Enrolled Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 25 in May 2003, ownership of the site was transferred from the Oklahoma Historical Society to the Nuyaka Homecoming Association and Historical Society, Inc.</p><br>
<p>The North Barrule  is the second highest peak in the Isle of Man at 565 metres . From the summit the northern plain of the Isle of Man can be viewed along with the coastlines of Ireland, Cumbria, Wales and Scotland.</p><br>
<p>The North Barrule is located at grid reference 442909 and forms the north-eastern end of a ridge. It forms the boundary between the parishes of Lezayre and Maughold.</p><br>
<h2>Climbing North Barrule</h2><br>
<p>The summit of the North Barrule can be attained by a rough hill walk with no need for technical climbing or scrambling, although certain routes to the summit do provide the possibility for either.</p><br>
<p>According to the Isle of Man community website:</p><br>
<p>From the Black Hut, the walker must first ascend the peak of Clagh Ouyr, a short climb which should take no more than 20 minutes to complete. From there, it is a moderate walk along the ridge of hills to the summit of North Barrule. For a walker of average fitness, and at a leisurely pace, it should be a walk of approximately 1.5 - 2 hours. The terrain comprises mostly short, tussocky grass and is marshy in places.</p><br>
<p>From the Hibernian, follow the footpath signs up the tarmac road until it leads off the road and onto a rough track which winds steadily upwards to the left of the summit, between farm fields. Follow the track round for 40-50 minutes until you are facing the south slopes, above the Corrany Valley (it is also possible to make a longer ascent from the valley floor – turn off the A2 at the foot of the steep hill immediately after Dhoon Village; The Corrany is signposted). Begin to climb up through the fields, passing a ruined farmstead called Park Llewellyn on your left. A vertical dry stone wall winds upwards to the right, guiding towards the summit. Follow this until you meet the ridge path from Clagh Ouyr; after this, the path to the summit is clear. This route offers a shorter but more demanding walk.</p><br>
<h2>Aircraft crash</h2><br>
<p>On 23 April 1945, a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress crashed into the east side of the North Barrule, killing all 31 people on board. This is the deadliest aviation accident to have occurred on Manx soil.</p><br>

<p>The Turner-Todd Motor Company is a historic commercial building in Mobile, Alabama, United States. The two-story brick and concrete structure was built in 1926 to house the Turner-Todd Motor Company. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 29, 2008.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The main two-story portion of the building was constructed in 1926. A l-l/2 -story addition was added to the east end of the building in 1940, as is announced by its own cornerstone. The Turner-Todd Motor Company, which had changed its name to the Turner Motor Company in 1932, closed its doors in 1943, but, though now obsolete as a showroom, the building still remained involved in the automobile industry by housing various auto parts stores from 1944 to 2002. The last company to occupy the building was CarQuest Auto Parts.</p><br>
<h2>Building Description</h2><br>
<p>As an early example of a purpose built auto dealership, the Turner-Todd Motor Company building is a significant local example of a prevailing architectural style adapted to the purpose of the automobile industry.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the main portion of the building originally had an open arrangement for the display of automobiles. The showroom was located near the entrance on the west end, while offices were located to the rear. This was altered with the closing of the dealership in 1943. The building was subsequently used by an auto parts dealer and a large service counter was added. The interior walls near the east end of the main building, which was used as a service center, are bare structural tile. A distinguishing feature of the first floor is the concrete ramp located at the rear. Entering from the rolled metal door on the south end of the west elevation, cars were driven up the ramp and stored on the second floor. For convenience of foot traffic, a staircase also leads to the second floor. This floor rests on heavy timbers, approximately 6" thick. The walls are brick. The ceiling</p><br>
<p>features exposed wood framing supporting the roof.</p><br>
<h2>Restoration (2014-2015)</h2><br>
<p>In 2014, Mobile, AL property developer Rogers & Willard, Inc., the current owner of the Turner-Todd Motor Company building, announced that the building would be renovated into modern office spaces and possibly a restaurant space. In September 2015 Rogers & Willard moved into the first refurbished space. The main portion of the first floor has gone through extensive renovations with workspace for around 100 employees in preparation for occupancy by Atlanta-based Rural Sourcing Inc. (RSI). Occupancy of the first floor was scheduled to take place in November 2015.</p><br>
<p>Among the renovations were the refinishing of all window frames and replacement of all of the original window glass, brick facade repairs, installation of modern plumbing and utility equipment, installation of a larger stairwell and elevator, repaving of sidewalks and the parking lot in the rear of the building, installation of modern HVAC equipment, and the build-out of the internal spaces to provide a modern workspace. Care was taken to honor the history of the building and comply with the guidelines for historic building renovation. As a nostalgic touch, the original Buick logos on the cornices of the building were restored to their original appearance of white letters with blue relief.</p><br>
<p>Ste. Genevieve Memorial Cemetery in Ste. Genevieve, Missouri, USA is a contributing site to both the Ste. Genevieve Historic District, and the associated National Landmark District.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Opened in 1787, Ste. Genevieve&#39;s oldest cemetery is divided into three sections: one for Catholic burials, one for Lutherans and a third for other Protestants.
