<p>Apusiaajik Island  is an uninhabited island in the Sermersooq municipality on the southeastern shore of Greenland. It is an outlying island in the Ammassalik archipelago of islands on the coast of the North Atlantic.</p><br>
<p>Air Iceland STOL aircraft approach Kulusuk Airport on the way from Nerlerit Inaat and Reykjavík flying directly over the southern end of the island.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Apusiaajik island is separated from the Kulusuk Island in the south by the Ikaasaartik Strait; from the small Akinaaq island and tiny skerries in the southwest by the Torsuut Tunoq sound; from Ammassalik Island in the northwest by the Ammassalik Fjord; from Erqiliqaarteq island in the east and from the Ingiingaleq island in the southeast by the Aqartertuluk sound.</p><br>
<p>The island is very mountainous, with several distinct peaks and mountain ranges. The highest summit is Qivtaatit in the north, at 855 m. The central part of the island is glaciated, with the active Apusiaajik Glacier flowing towards Torsuut Tunoq sound.</p><br>
<h2>Tourism</h2><br>
<p>Polar cruises bound for, or returning from the coastal voyages in the Kangertittivaq fjord and the shores of Northeast Greenland National Park often visit the area on their way from/to Tasiilaq. During summer, the glacier edge is also a popular tourist destination for boat trips from Tasiilaq and Kulusuk, In winter it is possible to cross the frozen sounds on foot or on snowmobile, Several summits on the island attract mountaineers, climbers, and polar adventurers, much as the neighboring Ammassalik island.</p><br>
<p>Vathy  is a town and a community in the municipal unit of Avlida in the Euboea regional unit, Greece. It is situated on the Greek mainland, near the South Euboean Gulf, 6 km south of Chalcis. The Greek National Road 44  passes west of the town. The community Vathy consists of the town Vathy and the villages Mikro Vathy, Paralia and Ritsona.</p><br>
<h2>Population</h2><br>
<h2>Ritsona</h2><br>
<p>The village Ritsona, population 535, is 7 km west of Vathy. The name Ritsona is believed to come from resin, referring to the pines that used to be abundant in the area. In recent years due to forest fires, a large part of the area&#39;s pine trees have disappeared. Today there are many vineyards.</p><br>
<p>Its history began during the Homeric period with the ancient Boeotian city of Mykalissos. The archaeological site was extensively excavated between 1909 and 1922 by Ronald Burrows and Percy and Annie Ure, under the aegis of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens. In May 1944, during World War II, the occupying Germans executed 110 Greek soldiers here that had been wounded in the Greco-Italian War in retaliation for an assault by the Greek resistance.</p><br>
<p>The Ritsona Rally is one of the most famous car races in Greece, taking place every year in December since 1956.</p><br>
<p>Appat Island  is an uninhabited island in the Qaasuitsup municipality in northwestern Greenland.</p><br>
<p>At 211 km&sup2, It is the site of the former settlements of Ritenbenck and Qaqortuatsiaq.</p><br>
<p>Air Greenland helicopters approach Ukkusissat Heliport on the way from Uummannaq Heliport alongside the southern and western wall of Appat, to then pass above the narrow Appat Ikerat strait between Appat and a smaller, mountainous Salleq Island.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Appat Island is separated from Uummannaq Island and Salliaruseq Island in the south by the central arm of the Uummannaq Fjord; from the Salleq Island in the west by the Appat Ikerat strait; from the Ukkusissat Peninsula in the north and northeast by the Torsukattak Strait. A small archipelago of low-lying skerries lies directly to the southeast of the island, with a small settlement of Saattut.</p><br>
<p>It is very mountainous, with precipitous walls falling from the glaciated summit plateau in all directions. The plateau (and the island itself) is bissected by the Naqellorssuaq valley. The highest point on the island is Appat Qaqaa (1,685.9 m), a summit in the western part of the glaciated summit plateau. The coastline is undeveloped, apart from the Umiasuqasuup Ilua fjord at the southeastern end.</p><br>
<h2>Promontories</h2><br>
<h2>Mining</h2><br>
<p>Qaqortuatsiaq, located on the northern coast of Appat near the shore of the Torsukattak Strait, is a former marble quarry, now abandoned. Mining activities in the area are likely to resume in the future, providing an economic lifeline to the communities of the Uummannaq region, keeping the relatively new Qaarsut Airport open.</p><br>
<h2>Access</h2><br>
<p>The island can be reached via individually chartered fishing boats from Saattut, the settlement on a skerry off the southeastern cape, or from Ukkusissat to the northwest. Package tourists visit the desert on the cape as part of an organized tour from Uummannaq. Movement within the interior of Appat is restricted to mountaineering.</p><br>
<p>Salleq Island  is an uninhabited island in the Qaasuitsup municipality in northwestern Greenland. It is located in the north-central part of the Uummannaq Fjord. The walls of the island feature characteristic multicolor bands of gneiss and granite layers.</p><br>
<p>Air Greenland helicopters approach Ukkusissat Heliport on the way from Uummannaq Heliport alongside the southern and western wall of the large Appat Island, to then pass above the narrow Appat Ikerat strait separating it from Salleq Island.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Salleq Island is separated from Uummannaq island and Salliaruseq Island in the south by the central arm of the Uummannaq Fjord; from the Appat Island in the east by the Appat Ikerat strait; from the small archipelago of low-lying skerries of Qeqertat to the north by the Salliup Qeqertallo Ikerat strait.</p><br>
<p>The island is very mountainous, consisting of an isolated and flooded mountain peak, with precipitous walls falling from the summit (1,070 m) in all directions.</p><br>
<h2>Bird colony</h2><br>
<p>Salleq is a breeding ground for fulmars and other seabirds. The island is also home to the largest colony of black guillemots in the Uummannaq Fjord region, with the population reaching 100.000 in 1949. The island is inaccessible from all sides, and has been a designated nature reserve, with access to the shores forbidden during the summer season: from the beginning of June to the end of August.</p><br>
<p>New York, Susquehanna & Western Railroad ALCO Type S-2 Locomotive, is located in Maywood, Bergen County, New Jersey, United States. The locomotive was and added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 19, 2010. The locomotive is located adjacent to the Maywood Station Museum and is owned by the volunteer, 5013 non-profit. In keeping with Susquehanna numbering practice, 206  was MU-able to other locomotives. 206 last operated in early June 1985 before having a lube oil pressure failure that damaged its 539 Macintosh and Seymore prime mover. As the Susquehanna was phasing out the last of the Alcos in the mid 80s  206 was never repaired but was stored and retired in 1986 when it was decided to retire instead of repair.</p><br>
<p>Paterson City Hall, is located in Paterson, Passaic County, New Jersey, United States. The building is located on a block in Downtown Paterson bordered by Market Street on the north, Colt Street to the east, Ellison Street to the south, and Washington Street to the west.</p><br>
<p>The building was built in 1896 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 10, 1995. City Hall was designed by the New York firm Carrere and Hastings in 1894, and is modeled after the Hôtel de Ville (city hall) in Lyon, France, capital of the silk industry in Europe. There are three statues of Paterson political figures outside of the Market Street side of building. One, which is adjacent to the corner of Market Street and Washington Street, honors businessman and philanthropist Nathan Barnert, who was elected twice as mayor. Another, which is adjacent to the corner of Market Street and Colt Street, honors physician Andrew McBride, who was elected a total of three times to the office of mayor. The third, centered in between the two and in front of the entrance to the building, honors former Vice President of the United States Garret Hobart, who took residence in Paterson following his graduation from Rutgers College and became one of its most powerful political leaders before his election as William McKinley&#39;s first Vice President.</p><br>
<p>The Branford House is located in Groton, Connecticut on the campus of UConn Avery Point, which rents it out for events. Branford House was built in 1902 for Morton Freeman Plant, a local financier and philanthropist, as his summer home; he named it after his hometown of Branford, Connecticut. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 23, 1984.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>When built in 1902, Branford Manor cost $3 million - an incredible sum of money at the time. Plant shunned the high society of Newport and chose instead the wide views of Long Island Sound available at Avery Point.</p><br>
<p>Branford House was designed by Plant&#39;s wife Nellie (who had a Sorbonne education in architecture) and built by Robert W. Gibson. Although the outside was built to the Tudor style to match the estate, the interior was a patchwork of various styles - "Gothic, Baroque, Renaissance, Classical, and even Flemish" - desired by the Plants. The house included a two-story fireplace surrounded by a clothes-drying conveyor belt, a then-rare elevator, and other architectural curiosities like doors leading into exterior walls.</p><br>
<p>Plant fancied himself a gentleman farmer and built vast agricultural facilities on the grounds. These included huge greenhouses (including one to store his tropical plants during the winter), a 22,250 ft&sup2; cow barn, poultry enclosures, and fruit and vegetable fields. The estate totaled more than 70 acres, including carpentry and plumbing shops, a boarding house, and other buildings. Bothered by its smell, Plant bought the Quinnipiac Fertilizer Company on nearby Pine Island and replaced it with an orchard where his grandchildren played.</p><br>
<p>Plant died in 1918; the estate passed through his son then his daughter-in-law before being sold for just $55,000 at auction in 1939. The state of Connecticut soon acquired the property, and passed it to the United States Coast Guard via a quitclaim deed funded by the federal government. As a duty to that deed the Coast Guard built Avery Point Light in 1942, though it was not lit until 1944. The lavish grounds were bulldozed into the water to make room for barracks for a training center; the house became offices and executive quarters. The west wing was used as the base chapel until it was destroyed by fire in 1963.</p><br>
<p>In 1967, the property was transferred back to the state for use as a satellite campus of the University of Connecticut, though the buildings were largely in poor condition. By the 1980s the house needed millions of dollars of renovations which UConn could not afford; there was discussion of a private developer turning it into a conference center, or of the town taking over the property. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 23, 1984.</p><br>
<p>Ultimately UConn carried out renovations to the house, which were completed in 2001. The house is not in regular academic use; UConn rents it out for event uses.</p><br>
<p>The United States Housing Corporation Historic District is a residential historic district located on the west side of New London, Connecticut. It contains a relatively uniform collection of Colonial Revival houses, most of them built in 1919 and 1920 by the United States Housing Corporation, a United States federal government agency founded to provide housing for workers in strategically significant war-related industries. The development of this district was overseen by the noted landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr. The district is bounded on the west by Colman Avenue, the south by West Pleasant Street, the east by Jefferson Street, and on the north by Fuller Street.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 16, 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Post Hill Historic District encompasses the oldest settled area of New London, Connecticut. Located just west of its commercial and civic center, the district is on high ground with a commanding view of the Thames River to the east. The roadways that run through the district include Channing, Vauxhall, and Granite Streets. Most of the districts more than 200 buildings were built much later, between about 1840 and 1925, even though it is home to the Antientest Burial Ground, the citys first cemetery . Williams Park, the southernmost point in the district was laid out in 1858, and was a significant spur to the areas growth. The houses in the district are in a wide variety of styles, but tend to be of similar scale and setting. The district includes the Nathan A. Woodworth House, previously listed on the National Register.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 5, 1993.</p><br>
<p>The Montauk Avenue Historic District encompasses a residential area of New London, Connecticut that was a planned subdivision developed in the early 20th century as a "streetcar suburb". The district consists of 341 buildings and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 18, 1990. The districts main thoroughfares are Montauk Avenue and Ocean Avenue, which roughly define its western and eastern bounds, and it includes small cross streets between Willetts Avenue and Fair Harbour Place. Most of the districts houses were built after 1895, and are wood frame structures in vernacular renditions of architectural revival styles popular in the early 20th century. Transitional forms between Queen Anne and other styles predominate. There are only four non-residential buildings in the district, all of which are masonry : two schools, a church, and a fire station.</p><br>
<p>The Hempstead Historic District of New London, Connecticut encompasses a residential area north of the city&#39;s harbor and central business district, extending mainly along three roughly parallel streets: Franklin and Hempstead Streets, and Mountain Avenue. The area was first settled in the 17th century , but significant development did not begin until the 1840s, and took place roughly over the next century. The district has 142 houses, most of which were built within that time period, and have retained their historical integrity. Notable non-residential structures include the 1845 Greek Revival New London County Jail , and the Renaissance Revival Saltonstall School, built in 1903.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 31, 1986.</p><br>
<p>The Jail Hill Historic District is located in Norwich, Connecticut. The district consists of 74 buildings and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 19, 1999.</p><br>
<p>A plaque, placed by the Norwich Historical Society at the entrance to the Jail Hill district states the following about Norwich&#39;s African-American Heritage, in which Jail Hill played an important role:</p><br>
<p>"In the late 1600’s and 1700’s, Norwich was an important colonial seaport trading with the West Indies. Slaves were imported to Southeastern Connecticut from the West Indies during this period. They became personal servants, laborers and craftsmen. By 1756, the Black community numbered 223. Many had purchased their own freedom or had been freed by their owners. Former slave Guy Druck, a blacksmith, built this house at 76 Church St. in the 1850’s. His skills were renowned and actively sought by ship builders for components such as anchors.</p><br>
<p>Blacks from Norwich, such as Leb Quy, fought in the American Revolution. The first public outcry against slavery in Norwich was published in the Norwich Packet in 1774. Connecticut later passed legislation to gradually abolish slavery in 1784.</p><br>
<p>In the 19th century, black settlement centered on Jail Hill, where a thriving community existed by the mid-century. Discriminated against for employment in the mills, Norwich’s Black residents worked on the docks, railroads, steamboats and in hotels. Many, like escaped slave James Linsley Smith, a shoemaker, were engaged in crafts. Others owned restaurants and small businesses."</p><br>
<p>The district encompasses a working-class residential area whose development began in the 1830s and was largely complete by 1865. Houses are of modest size and scale, and are typically vernacular interpretations of Greek Revival and Italianate styling, although later styles such as Queen Anne are also present. The district takes its name from the 1834 jail that was built on the hill, whose foundations still stand on an overgrown lot.</p><br>
<p>Mount Tod 2155 m , prominence: 1523 m,  commonly known as Tod Mountain, is a summit 50km northeast of Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada. Located northeast of the junction of Louis and McGillivray Creeks, it is part of the upland area between the Interior Plateau  and the Monashee Mountains  known as the Shuswap Highland, the mountain is the highest of three summits comprising the Sun Peaks alpine ski resort.</p><br>
<h2>Name origin</h2><br>
<p>The mountain is named for John Tod, one of the most prominent of the fur traders assigned to the New Caledonia fur district. He first joined the Hudson&#39;s Bay Company in 1813. He was in charge of Fort McLeod from 1823 to 1832, and in charge of Fort Kamloops (1841-43). His retirement home in Victoria, on which he began construction in 1850, is the oldest inhabited house in British Columbia.</p><br>
<p>Also named for him is Tod Inlet, a sidewater of Saanich Inlet and formerly the name of a post office at that location, to the southwest of Brentwood Bay, and also Tod Creek, which flows into it, and Tod Rock, which is offshore.</p><br>
<p>Mount Lolo, which is nearer to Kamloops than Mount Tod, is named for his right-hand man and interpreter, Jean Baptiste Lolo aka Chief Lolo, as is Paul Lake ("St. Paul" or "Chief Paul" were other names for Chief Lolo).</p><br>
<h2>Traditional land use</h2><br>
<p>Skwelkwekwelt was known as a place where moose and deer meat was dried to last through the winter. As of 2012, a Shuswap website notes, "Many roots and medicines were harvested by the people at Skwelkwekwelt. This traditional use area is being destroyed by major expansion to the Sun Peaks Ski resort and by logging."</p><br>
<p>The Peck Tavern is a historic tavern  at 1 Sill Lane  in Old Lyme, Connecticut. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a side-gable roof, wooden clapboard siding, and a large wing extending to the rear. The main  facade is five bays wide, with the center bay consisting of a two-story gable-topped projecting section. The main entry is in this section, flanked by fluted pilasters and topped by a transom window. The building&#39;s construction date is unknown, but is believed to date to the first half of the 18th century, and may incorporate elements of a 17th-century structure. The main block probably achieved its present form about 1769, when the property was purchased by John Peck. The property was used as a tavern into the early 19th century.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 12, 1982.</p><br>
<p>The John and Elivera Doud House was the residence of John Doud and Elivera M. Doud, the parents of Mamie Eisenhower, and the in-laws of USA President Dwight D. Eisenhower</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Mamie Eisenhower&#39;s father John Doud was born in 1870 in Rome, New York. He moved to Chicago, and then to Boone, Iowa, where Mamie was born in 1896. In 1905, the Douds moved to Denver, and lived at 101 Logan Street. In 1906, John Doud bought a residence at 750 Lafayette Street. This single family home was built at a cost of $6925 in 1905 by Gustave A. Ziegler. The architect was Edwin Moorman.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The architectural style of the Doud House is American Foursquare, which is locally called a "Denver Square." The house has a rectangular footprint with external dimensions of 32 feet by 36 feet. At the front of the house, there is a large full-width porch with brick sidewalls. The carriage house, originally used to park a car, was remodeled in the 1950s to accommodate the familys servants. During Eisenhowers presidency, the carriage house was used to house Secret Service agents who guarded the family.</p><br>
<h2>Famous events</h2><br>
<p>The Doud House is most noted for various events connected with Mamie and President Eisenhower. Mamie Eisenhower lived in this house from 1906 until 1916. The Eisenhowers were married in the first floor music room on July 1, 1916. Their son, John Eisenhower was born in Denver on August 3, 1922, while Mamie was living in the house. The Eisenhowers vacationed many times and stayed with their inlaws, so along with Lowry Air Force Base the house came to be known as the Summer White House. President Eisenhower had his heart attack in the house on September 23, 1955, and he was treated at Fitzsimmons Army Hospital in Aurora, Colorado.</p><br>
<h2>Post Eisenhower</h2><br>
<p>Elivera M. Doud died in the house on September 28, 1960. In July 1961, Mamie Eisenhower cleaned out the house. The house was sold in September 1961 to Mae Tiley, a real estate investor from Fort Collins, Colorado. In October 1961, Mamie Eisenhower donated many items from the house to the Colorado Republican Party. These were sold in a fund raising auction. Other items were donated to the Colorado Historical Society. Since then, the house has gone through several owners. It is still in private hands, and is not available for tours.</p><br>

Its main entrance is highlighted by bronze Art Deco panels of eagles, and eagles carved in limestone. The main lobby is decorated with Greek-themed Art Deco work, with multicolored marble floors. Murals depicting whaling activities line the walls. The building was designed by the local firm of Payne & Keefe, and built in 1933-34. The murals were funded by a Public Works of Art Project grant, executed by Thomas Sergeant LaFarge, and installed in 1938.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>The War Office, also once known as the Capt. Joseph Trumble Store and Office, is a historic commercial building on the Lebanon Green in Lebanon, Connecticut. It is located near the Governor Jonathan Trumbull House, a National Historic Landmark. It is a 1-1/2 story gambrel-roofed wood frame structure, built c. 1732 by Captain Joseph Trumbull as a place from which to conduct his merchant business. The building is most significant for its use during the American Revolutionary War. It served as the war office of Connecticut Governor Jonathan Trumbull, with more than 1,000 councils of war taking place there. Visitors to the office included George Washington, Rochambeau, Lauzun, Lafayette, Admiral de Ternay, Generals Henry Knox, John Sullivan, and Israel Putnam, also Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams and John Jay. The Lebanon Green was also where cavalry of the French Army wintered in 1780-81, before joining the rest of their army for the march to Yorktown, Virginia in 1781. The War Office was, like the Trumbull House, moved a short distance in 1824. It is now part of the museum property managed by the Connecticut chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution that also includes the Trumbull House and the Wadsworth Stables.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.</p><br>
<p>Ashlawn, also called the Joshua Perkins House, is a two-story, central-hall frame farmhouse dating from the 18th century in Hanover, Connecticut.</p><br>
<p>The houses namesake is its first owner, Joshua Perkins, a farmer and son of the prominent Captain Matthew Perkins, a farmer and founding member of the Hanover Society. Ashlawns main house has a five-bay front facade with pilasters supporting broken-base pediments. The inside has well-documented woodwork for its moldings and wainscotting. The house has integrated an older structure, likely a central-chimney structure built in the second quarter of the 18th century, as an ell.</p><br>
<p>In 2002, the house was maintained by Ruth Rosiene, a descendant of the Perkins. Ashlawn is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as an example of Georgian architecture and locally important for its connection with the Perkins family. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 4, 1979.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The land upon which Ashlawn stands was originally part of a 1,200 acre parcel purchased by Joshua Perkins grandfather Joseph Perkins and great-great uncle Jacob Perkins. The town of Lisbon, Connecticut, was originally known as Newent, the name believed to derive from the Perkins place in Gloucestershire, England. Joseph Perkins&#39; father, Captain Matthew Perkins, was a prominent farmer and founder of the Hanover Society in 1761. Matthew Perkins held approximately 1,000 acre in Hanover and owned three slaves as part of his assets; he died in 1773. Joshua Perkins is believed to have deeded the land. Joshua Perkins, the eldest son of Matthew Perkins, was born in 1740. A farmer and a selectman, he served in 1786 and 1787 before going to serve in the Connecticut state legislature in 1789 and again in 1801. In 1825, he deeded 400 acre, containing the house, to his son Charles Perkins. Joshua Perkins died in 1833, living to be 93.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>Ashlawn, named for the ash trees that once sat in front of the house, is also known as the Joshua Perkins House, after its first owner.</p><br>
<p>Ashlawn is described by the National Register of Historic Places as a "late 18th-century, 2-story, central-hall frame farmhouse with a pitched and end gable overhang." The date of construction, both of the main house and its older ell, is unknown, as is the architect. The house rests upon a fieldstone foundation with dressed stone; the cellar of the house has notches in stone that are believed to have been for the "cool storage of foods". The register lists the architecture as being Georgian.</p><br>
<p>The five-bay front facade has two flat Doric pilasters and two more pilasters, located off the central bay support the broken base pediment. The original door was replaced with a 19th-century door that has a 20-pane fanlight and is flanked by two flat pilasters that support the broken base pediment over the door. The main house originally had two-chimney design and another chimney was added to the east wall for a 20th-century furnace. Most of the windows in the house were replaced in the 19th century with 2-over-2 sash, except for two attic windows of each end of the gable which retain the smaller paned sashes. The house includes an earlier -story ell in the rear that appears to have been a two-room central chimney structure that was integrated into the design of the main house and built in the second quarter of the 18th century. The chimney was replaced in the 19th century. A storage shed also sits behind the house. The property also had a dairy barn that was rebuilt following its destruction in the 1938 New England hurricane.</p><br>
<p>The registers nomination gives details of the paneling and molding throughout the house. Entering through the front of the house leads to the central hall with a paneled wainscot below the chair rail, forward of the rising stairwell on the left. There is cornice molding and a molded chair rail with runners for the inside shutters. The woodwork in the west front room has a paneled fireplace and is wainscoted below the chair rail. The east rear room is divided in two, with one of the divisions being a bathroom. The upstairs rooms have molded chair rails and cased flair posts. However, the east front room lacks a fireplace while the western one is paneled as the first floors front west room. The roof of the house is framed by sawn collar beams that were pegged to rafters which were hewn. The chimney stacks are angled so that they emerge symmetrically from the roof.</p><br>
<p>The original entrance to the cell in the center along the east wall, the door was replaced with a modern door at the time of nomination. Inside, a winding staircase leads to the attic. To the north is the kitchen, retaining a hewn summer beam and flared cased posts while sporting modern cabinets and wallpaper. The room to the south also has a visible hewn summer beam and its original casing on the flared posts. The attic is finished with vertically placed beaded boarding, and the roof is framed with hewn rafters.</p><br>
<h2>Importance</h2><br>
<p>The National Register of Historic Places nomination form describes Ashlawn as a historically significant as "an expression of rural Georgian architecture and for its associations with the Perkins family, particularly influential in the settlement of the Hanover section of Sprague."</p><br>
<p>In 2002, Ruth Rosiene, a descendant of the Perkins and Ashlawn&#39;s owner, was featured in an article by The Day. Rosiene had been maintaining the house for years, which required repainting every four or five years. A photo in the article shows the latch on the door that was described as possibly original. The article notes that the original sliding shutters are now absent, whereas the original nomination form from 1979 stated they were not installed.</p><br>
<p>The Main Sawmill, now known as Ledyard Up-Down Sawmill, is located on Iron Street in Ledyard, Connecticut. The sawmill was built in 1869 by Israel Brown.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>A sawmill was built on the site in the 1790s by Nathaniel Brown II and Increase B. Stoddard. Philip Gray purchased the mill in 1805 and built a dam on an adjacent pond. Gray sold the mill in 1831. The current sawmill uses an up-and-down sash saw and was built in 1869 by Israel Brown. Brown mortgaged the mill and water rights to William Leeds Main in 1887. The mill was in operation until 1935.</p><br>
<p>The Town of Ledyard purchased the mill in 1966 to create Sawmill Park. The buildings and dam were restored by volunteers over a nine-year period. The sawmill was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 26, 1972. The park and mill were opened to the public on April 19, 1975.</p><br>
<p>The McClelland Homestead is a historic farm in western Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, United States. Located along McClelland Road northeast of Bessemer, the farm complex includes buildings constructed in the middle of the 19th century. It has been designated a historic site because of its well-preserved architecture.</p><br>
<h2>McClelland family</h2><br>
<p>William McClelland purchased property in what today is part of North Beaver Township in 1807 and operated it successfully; by the time that he sold it to his son Joseph in 1848, he had become a prosperous farmer. According to an 1872 map, the farm was composed of lands on the northern side of what is today McClelland Road. Joseph gave up ownership of the property in 1895, but the farm remained in the McClelland family at least into the 1980s. In 1989, the farm consisted of approximately 89 acre.</p><br>
<h2>Buildings</h2><br>
<p>Eight buildings and structures compose the McClelland Farm complex: the barn, a silo, the farmhouse, a small square shed, a machinery shed, a chicken coop, a hog house, and a corn crib. Three of these buildings — the house, the barn, and the machinery shed — contribute to the historic nature of the farm, while the remaining structures are unoriginal or have been heavily modified.</p><br>
<h3>Farmhouse</h3><br>
<p>Joseph McClelland&#39;s house is the most significant building on the farm. A two-story farmhouse erected in the 1840s, it is primarily a Federal structure; its foundation is stone, the walls are brick, topped with corbelling and rising to gables, and the roof is covered with slates. Its leading architectural feature is a grand Palladian window above the main entrance; such a window is unknown in other period houses in Lawrence County.</p><br>
<p>During the late 1870s, the house was extensively modified: Italianate porches were added in 1879 to bring the house up to current architectural fashions, while the rooms of the interior were completely rebuilt. The completion of that process resulted in an eight-room house, with a central hallway separating the four rooms on each floor. Among the original elements that survived this rebuilding were stone lintels and a wooden staircase in the southern part of the house. In general, the southern portion of the house was less significantly affected by the process than was the northern portion, which was further modified by the addition of rooms to the northern facade. Since the 1870s, modifications have included the expansion of the garage that was included in the 1879 addition, in-depth cleaning and repainting of the walls in the 1960s, the partition of rooms to create an apartment in the rear, and the removal of original stoves and three of the four original chimneys in 1966.</p><br>
<p>Although two other farmhouses from the first half of the 19th century are extant in North Beaver Township, the McClelland farmhouse is unique: the other farmhouses are Greek Revival structures, and unlike the McClelland property, they now lack their original outbuildings. A similar situation exists in northern Beaver County, approximately 15 mi away, where the James Beach Clow House is the only farmhouse in its township to have survived without extensive modifications.</p><br>
<h3>Barn</h3><br>
<p>The barn is a two-story frame structure built to shelter both plant products and livestock. On the ground floor, stalls are in place to hold more than thirty cattle, while the second floor consists primarily of a hayloft. Built circa 1850, the barn is the most southerly building on the farm; its location arises from the presence of a small spring, which its builder intended for it to cover. Oak timbers are used to construct a post and lintel frame; the remarkably well-preserved original construction is its most historically significant aspect. Outside, the walls are covered by the original timbered siding, and the roof is covered with shingles of asbestos. Two related and significant modifications have been made to the barn: part of the western end was removed after was badly damaged in a storm, and a concrete block milkhouse was built in its place in the 1960s.</p><br>
<h3>Machinery shed</h3><br>
<p>Built circa 1850 to the north of the farmhouse, the machinery shed once housed a cider press. It is a two-story structure that has been modified by the addition of two wings, built in 1938 primarily for the purposes of sheltering farm implements. The walls are now covered with aluminum siding, but the building is still supported by the mortise and tenon joints of the original oak frame.</p><br>
<h2>Recognition</h2><br>
<p>In 1989, the McClelland Homestead was listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its architectural significance. Crucial to this designation were elements such as the Palladian window of the house and the original framing of the outbuildings; although all three buildings have been modified since their construction, they remain in a condition close to that of their early years and have thus been seen as worthy of historic preservation.</p><br>
<p>Nordkinnhalvøya  is a peninsula in Finnmark county, Norway. The peninsula is shared amongst the municipalities of Lebesby and Gamvik. Settlement is mostly concentrated on the northern shores and at the base of the peninsula, while the middle parts of the peninsula are sparsely inhabited. The main villages on the peninsula are Mehamn, Gamvik, and Kjøllefjord&mdash;all located on the northern shore. Slettnes Lighthouse near Gamvik is the northernmost lighthouse on mainland Europe.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The highest point on Nordkinnhalvøya is Storvarden (486 m) in the Sandfjellet massif. The northernmost point on the peninsula is the Kinnarodden cliff, which is also the northernmost point of mainland Norway and Europe.</p><br>
<p>The peninsula is connected to the mainland by the 500 m wide Hopseidet isthmus.</p><br>
<p>The peninsula is situated between Tanafjorden to the east and the Laksefjorden to the west. They both empty into the Barents Sea.</p><br>
<h2>Transportation</h2><br>
<p>Norwegian County Road 888 connects the villages of Gamvik, Mehamn, and Lebesby to the European route E6 highway at the base of the peninsula, and from there it continues on to the towns of Kirkenes in the east and Alta in the west. The Hurtigruten coastal ship stops in Mehamn and Kjøllefjord, both on this peninsula. Mehamn Airport, with services by Widerøe, is the airport that serves the peninsula and surrounding area.</p><br>
<h2>Commerce</h2><br>
<p>Fishing permits are sold for use on specific rivers, including Risfjordelva (Sami: Rassavuoles-jokha).</p><br>
<p>Buffeljagsriver  is a river that originates where two other rivers meet, one being the Grootvadersbos River  and the other the Tradou River. The confluence is just east of a small town, Suurbraak, Western Cape province. The Tredouw&#39;s Pass is situated just north  of this meeting point. To the west of the town the river flows into the Buffeljags Dam, and the river then heads south to join the Breede River , not far from the Bontebok National Park.</p><br>
<p>It is also the name of the small farming community located in the area. The Buffeljagsriver area is a fertile region producing vegetables, citrus, persimmons, milk and cheese, lavender and peppers.</p><br>
<p>The Buffeljagsdam located at the foot of the Langeberg mountains provides water all year round for the farms below it. Activities offered at Bufflejagsdam include fuffy-slide rides, bass fishing, canoeing, water-skiing and sunset cruises. The area offers various conference and team building facilities.</p><br>
<p>The Buffeljagsriver area is rich in historical value. Its name originates from the late 1800s when Governor Hendrick Swellengrebel&#39;s (from whom Swellendam got its name) son visited the area. It is said that he shot the last buffalo that roamed the area.</p><br>
<p>Today, Buffeljagsriver is a thriving farming community with a wide variety of crops and animals being farmed. Some of the tourism destination farms in the area today include Rotterdam, the lavender farm, and Olivedale Vineyards.</p><br>
<p>The Chatham County Courthouse is a historic courthouse located at Pittsboro, Chatham County, North Carolina. It sits at the center of town in the middle of a traffic circle. It was built in 1881 for $10,666 and is a two-story rectangular brick structure</p><br>
<p>in the Late Victorian style. It features a two-story classical portico crowned with a distinctive three-stage cupola. A one-story addition was built in the 1930s by the Works Progress Administration. In 1959, extensive renovations were performed on the building.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. It is located in the Pittsboro Historic District.</p><br>
<p>A fire on March 24, 2010 did great damage to the building which was in the midst of another renovation. The restored building reopened April 20, 2013 with an exhibit covering Chatham County history on the first floor and a courtroom on the second.</p><br>
<p>Lake Cutiliensis  is a lake located in the municipality of Castel Sant&#39;Angelo, near the ancient Reate, now Rieti. In antiquity it was sacred to the Sabines. Varro, who came from Reate, called it the "navel of Italy".</p><br>
<h2>Overview</h2><br>
<p>The lake took its name from the town of Cutiliae or Cutilium which was situated on its shores, at the foot of a mountain. In his work De Lingua Latina, Varro writes that it was inhabited by the lymphae commotiles or commotiae, nymphs whose presence is explained by the floating island found there. Pliny says much the same.</p><br>
<p>In his book about theories on the origin of the Saturnalia, Macrobius narrates that the Pelasgians, one of the earliest people who inhabited Latium, had been expelled from their original territory and, having wandered through many places, at last arrived in great numbers at Dodona in Epirus. There they asked the local oracle where they could settle permanently. The oracles responsum was that they should go to the Saturnian land of the Siculi and Aborigines, to Cutilia, where there was a floating island. They were to expel the locals, then sacrifice a tenth of whatever they had taken as booty (praeda) to Phoebus and to Hades. Human captives were explicitly included: they were instructed to "send the heads and phota (lights, also lives&#39;) to the father".</p><br>
<p>Having followed the instructions of the oracle, they arrived at Lake of Cutilia and occupied the island. This island was formed by overgrown plants and its growth had been favoured by the murkiness of this marsh, as was said to have been of Delos.</p><br>
<p>After expelling the Siculi the Pelasgians occupied the lands. They offered as a sacrifice to Apollo the tenth part of the prey and built a shrine to Dis and an altar to Saturn, naming the feast Saturnalia after him. They continued for a long time to perform human sacrifices in order to offer heads to placate Dis and Saturn, until Hercules came to those lands and persuaded their descendents to replace the human heads with masks and to honour the altar of Saturn with lamps, since phota, "lights," may mean "lamps" as well as the "light" of men&#39;s lives.</p><br>
<p>The waters of a spring near the lake were extremely cold and supposed to be medicinal: they were considered good for the stomach and nerves. They acted by a kind of suction the feeling of which approached that of a bite. The Emperor Vespasian used to come every summer to drink the waters, and he died there. His son emperor Titus too died there.</p><br>
<p>The place was an enclosed area (locum saeptum: fenced place) considered sacred and was inhabited by an oracle influential among the Sabines. Sometimes the Sabine migrations known as the ver sacrum started from this place: a famous instance is that of the seven thousand sacrales led by Comus (or Cominus) Castronius who founded Bovianum following the steps of an ox, thus giving rise to the Samnite nation.</p><br>
<p>The Redding Center Historic District is a 55 acre located in Redding, Connecticut, encompassing its historic village center. It includes the town&#39;s current and former town halls, a church, a cemetery, private homes and barns. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 1, 1992.</p><br>
<p>The district includes 46 buildings with a mix of architectural styles, including Colonial Revival, Greek Revival, and Italianate. They form the most historically significant collection of properties in the community.</p><br>
<p>Fronting a central green is the First Church of Christ, a Congregational church built in 1837 in the Greek Revival style that was the first religious organization established in Redding, obtaining permission in 1729 from Fairfield church leaders to establish a separate parish. Also facing the green is Reddings old town hall, built in 1834 and still used today for some town functions like meetings. Reddings current town hall, police station and fire station, and the Read Cemetery, which has grave markers dating from 1786 to 1860, are also in the district.</p><br>
<p>The Greenwich Avenue Historic District is a historic district representing the commercial and civic historical development of the downtown area of the town of Greenwich, Connecticut. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 31, 1989. Included in the district is the Greenwich Municipal Center Historic District, which was listed on the National Register the year before for the classical revival style municipal buildings in the core of Downtown. Most of the commercial buildings in the district fall into three broad styles, reflecting the period in which they were built: Italianate , Georgian Revival , and Commercial style . The district is linear and runs north-south along the entire length of Greenwich Avenue, the main thoroughfare of Downtown Greenwich, between USA Route 1 and the New Haven Line railroad tracks.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The town of Greenwich was first settled in 1640, but settlement was scattered among several villages. It was not until 1665 that Greenwich was formally incorporated as a town of Connecticut. In 1672, a group of settlers bought a tract of land known as Miossehasseky. The area occupied by Havemeyer Fields was used by these settlers as a pasture for horses and the entire village soon acquired the name Horseneck. In 1703, the town voted to have town meetings split between Sound Beach (the oldest settlement) and Horseneck, which was centrally located in the town. In 1760, a “Town House” for conducting town meetings was constructed at what is now the intersection of Putnam and Maple Avenue. The population of Horseneck boomed in the mid-19th century, transforming from a farming village to a wealth suburban community of New York City, mainly as a result of the establishment by the New Haven Railroad of a station at the lower part of Greenwich Avenue. This rapid growth prompted the incorporation of Horseneck as the Borough of Greenwich in 1854. The establishment of borough government ultimately allowed for the rapid construction of new public buildings after the Civil War on previously vacant farmland. Around the area of public buildings, intensive development of commercial as well as residential areas was also taking place.</p><br>
<p>The rapid development of public buildings in the borough was aided by the development of railroad and steamboat service, allowing people to work in New York City while living in Greenwich. Several wealth New York capitalists spurred the rapid development with their own funds. Henry O. Havemeyer was the first of these benefactors. He donated the money to construct the Havemeyer Building, which was originally a school, in 1892. Another philanthropist, Robert M. Bruce, and his sister Sarah E. Bruce, donated to the town the Old Town Hall (now the Senior Center) after it was constructed in 1905. The core of Downtown Greenwich was completed when the Havemeyer family donated the parcel of land south of the intersection of Arch Street and Greenwich Avenue for construction of a public park and a post office. The post office building was constructed in 1916.</p><br>
<p>In the 19th-century, most commercial development took place along the northern end of Greenwich Avenue, where the Boston Post Road was located. This area of Greenwich Avenue provided goods and services to the growing residential community around the intersection of Greenwich Avenue and Putnam Avenue, including what is now the Fourth Ward. Sidewalks, kerosene street lighting, and sewer and water lines were in place by 1882. In the early 20th-century, Greenwich Avenue was paved and a streetcar line was established. Many houses that were already on Greenwich Avenue were moved to residential areas on the parallel side streets to make way for commercial blocks. Commercial development continued to boom in the 1920s, helped in part by the electrification and four-tracking of the New Haven Railroad line. The borough had dominated the civic life of the entire town of Greenwich by this time and the borough and town governments were eventually consolidated in 1932 resulting in the modern town government of Greenwich. The last open lot on Greenwich Avenue was built on in 1947 with the construction of an office building now occupied by Fawcett Publications. While upscale retail businesses replaced the earlier stores and office space in existing buildings upgraded, the streetscape of the area is largely intact and continues to function as the commercial and civic center of the town.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The historic district covers a total area of 86 acres. Of this area, 21.6 acres are part of the Municipal Center district, with 16.8 acres of that occupied by Havemeyer Field. There are 152 buildings in the district, of which 124 are listed as contributing to the historic and architectural significance of the area. The district is bounded to include historic commercial and civic buildings that are associated to the rapid development of the borough of Greenwich in the period 1860 to 1940, and to exclude primarily residential areas as well as modern commercial construction.</p><br>
<h2>Significant contributing buildings</h2><br>
<p>The Greenwich Avenue Historic District is representative of the architectural diversity that was found in the 19th and early 20th century commercial streetscapes of small cities in Connecticut. Greenwich Avenue is distinguished in that so much of the historic streetscape remains intact today. Some of the more significant buildings and blocks are described below.</p><br>
<p>Havemeyer Building &ndash; This building located at 290 Greenwich Avenue was the first to be built in the area of the Greenwich Municipal Center Historic District. It was designed by Loring and Phipps and has a Richardsonian Romanesque design with a pronounced horizontality, and further accented by several architectural elements. These include the Syrian arch surrounding the recessed entrance and the elliptical-arched loggia in front of the auditorium wing. The building was originally built for use as a public school, the Havemeyer School, in 1892 by New York philanthropist Henry O. Havemeyer. This building set the standard for architectural design and site planning that would be adhered to by the newer buildings in the Municipal Center district. In front of the building are two war memorials: one for World War II and the Korean War (built 1956), and another to the memory of Col. Raynal Bolling (built 1921). It is currently used by the Greenwich Board of Education.</p><br>
<p>Greenwich Senior Center (Old Town Hall) &ndash; Across the street from the Havemeyer Building at 299 Greenwich Avenue is the Greenwich Senior Center. The building is a Beaux Arts design by Mowbray and Uffinger, and was built in 1904 to serve as the Town Hall of Greenwich. The building is shaped like a vertical cube and has three stories, rusticated at the first story. The roof rises above a copper cornice and has a clock built below a domed cupola. The building was built by another New York philanthropist, Robert M. Bruce. The building was donated to the town in 1905 upon its completion. The building is listed separately on the National Register.</p><br>
<p>Greenwich Main Post Office &ndash; The main Post Office of Greenwich was built in 1916. The land, which originally belonged to the Havemeyers, was sold to the USA government in 1909 specifically for the construction of a post office. The building is a one-story classical revival design by James A. Wetmore and has a concave façade, which complements the acute angle of the intersection of Greenwich Avenue and Arch Street, where the building is located. The area in front of the building is a municipal park and contains a World War I memorial built in 1927. The post office is also listed separately on the National Register.</p><br>
<p>Greenwich Town Hall &ndash; The present town hall at 101 Field Point Road across Havemeyer Field from the Havemeyer Building was built in 1925 as the town’s second high school. The three-story building is a Georgian Revival design by Guilbert and Betelle. The building features “a centrally placed, two-story Ionic portico that is supported by a rusticated ashlar base containing the main entrance.” The building was converted into use as the town hall in 1977.</p><br>
<p>Town Hall Annex &ndash; Built in 1906 as the town’s first high school, the building is a classical revival design by Wilson Potter. The building has a three-story central portion flanked by 2½-story wings and is located at 27 Havemeyer Place.</p><br>
<p>Smith Building &ndash; The Smith Building at 289–295 Greenwich Avenue is one of several commercial buildings that complement the classically inspired designs of the Municipal Center buildings. It was built in 1906 to house law offices and has a Georgian Revival / Italian Renaissance design showing a classical arcade and fluted Doric columns.</p><br>
<p>Putnam Trust Company &ndash; Another classically inspired building is the Putnam Trust Company building on 125 Greenwich Avenue. The building is “a textbook example of the Classical Revival style.”</p><br>
<p>300 block of Greenwich Avenue &ndash; The 300 block of Greenwich Avenue showcases early 20th-century commercial architecture as interpreted in the Georgian Revival and Classical Revival styles. It is well preserved, with many of the original storefronts still intact. The buildings in this block are located across Greenwich Avenue from the Post Office and were mainly built in the period 1910–1914.</p><br>
<p>Greenwich Trust Bank &ndash; Located at 94-96 Greenwich Avenue, the Greenwich Trust Bank building was built in 1887 in the Queen Anne style. It has an asymmetrical and eccentric eave line. The building stands in contrast to its neighbor, an 1893 building that was altered in 1931 to have an Art Deco façade.</p><br>
<p>Fred Knapp Building &ndash; The Fred Knapp Building at 269 Greenwich Avenue is a Late Gothic Revival design that was constructed in 1906. The building has an elaborate limestone tracery on its storefront and parapet adding to the distinctiveness of the building. The building stands in contrast to its newer Queen Anne style neighbor.</p><br>
<p>Greenwich Police Department &ndash; Originally built in 1925 as a garage, this building at 11 Bruce Place has housed the Greenwich Police Department since 1968. It was excluded from the original Municipal Center district because of its original commercial function. In recent years, the building has undergone major renovations. During that time, the Greenwich Police Department has operated out of the Central Fire House, also known as Greenwich Fire Department Headquarters, next door on Havemeyer Place.</p><br>
<p>Greenwich Fire Headquarters &ndash; The Central Firehouse has been the Headquarters building of the Greenwich Fire Department since it was built in 1938. Designed with Art Deco style, this three-story limestone ashlar building was designed by Joseph W. Bailey. This is the only building departing from the classical themes of the other buildings in the Municipal Center district. The building has also been shared by the Greenwich Police Department when their building was being renovated in recent years. Located at 15 Havemeyer Place, the large five-garage-bay firehouse has been home to the Greenwich Fire Department, as well as the Amogerone Vol. Fire Co. # 1, the Vol. Hose & Chemical Co. # 1, and the Greenwich Fire Patrol. As of 2012, GFD companies Engine 1, Tower 1, the Special Operations Unit, and the on-duty Deputy Chief have been moved to the Horseneck Ln. Commuter Lot and the current Fire Headquarters is being demolished after nearly 75 years of service to the town.</p><br>
<p>St. Mary’s Parish Center &ndash; The parish center at 200 Greenwich Avenue is a post-modern building that was designed with the historic setting in mind. Its upper story is setback to maintain the massing of its neighbors, and it also echoes the form of the Beaux Arts style 1916 Greenwich Trust Building. The parish offices are located on the second floor and the first floor is leased commercial space. The parish center was built in 1986 and is a non-contributing property but is significant in that it was designed to blend in with its historic neighbors. The parish center is attached to the St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church and Rectory, one of only two churches in the district.</p><br>
<p>Commercial blocks at Bruce Park Avenue and West Putnam Avenue &ndash; The Bruce Park Avenue block consists of a row of four commercial buildings at the south end of the district. The buildings were built from 1899 to 1919 in a variety of styles. The West Putnam Avenue block showcases the Tudor Revival style that was popular after World War I.</p><br>
<p>The former Norwalk City Hall, located in South Norwalk was built in 1912. The building has since been added, on March 23, 1995, to the National Register of Historic Places. Norwalk&#39;s city hall is now located at 125 East Avenue.</p><br>
<p>After Norwalks City Hall relocated, the first and second floors of the structure became Norwalk Historical Society Museum, which was operated by the city. As a museum, the building contained archival materials and other items related to Norwalks culture and history, including documents, items of significance to the history of Norwalk and artwork.</p><br>
<p>In May 2012, the city removed funding for operation of the museum as well for the cost of renting the building, no longer owned by the city, despite the several thousand visitors annually.</p><br>
<p>The J. Dupuy Stone House is located on Krum Road near Kerhonkson, New York, United States, in the Ulster County town of Rochester. It was built in the mid-19th century and modified later.</p><br>
<p>On the property are several other outbuildings, including a stand-alone smokehouse. They and the house were listed on National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<h2>Buildings and grounds</h2><br>
<p>The 2.5 acre lot with the house and outbuildings is located on the south side of Krum Road half a mile east of its eastern end at Queens Highway. The house is surrounded by mature spruce and maple trees, the only such growth in a large area of open fields. The terrain is generally level, providing views of the Catskill foothills to the west and the Shawangunk Ridge to the east.</p><br>
<p>The house itself is a five-bay one-and-a-half-story stone building with clapboard siding on the upper half-story. It is topped with a standing-seam metal gabled roof pierced by brick chimneys at either end. On the south (rear) side is a two-bay, two-story clapboard-sided wing added later.</p><br>
<p>Fenestration is regular. All first-story windows are modern vinyl replacements for the originals. Those on the first story have louvered wooden shutters. Those on the upper story of the north (front) facade skip bays. A small wooden deck is located in front of the main entrance, running almost the width of the house.</p><br>
<p>A stone walk leads from the front door to the road; at the latter&#39;s former route there are two stone posts and a six-foot (2 m) square bluestone mounting block, a contributing object to the National Register listing. On the east of the driveway there is a rectangular one-story frame clapboard-sided shed with corrugated metal gable roof and a one-story shed-roofed addition. It has a wooden sliding door on thewest and a board-and-batten strap-hinged door on the east. Behind it and the house, to the southeast, is the smokehouse, a single-story front-gabled rubblestone building with a plank front door.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was originally built around 1840 in the classic linear form of many stone houses of that era. The smokehouse is one of only six extant in the town of Rochester. In the early 20th century the front was raised to a full story, the only stone house in town where this was done. In the later years of that century, the hip roofed front porch was removed. There have been no other major alterations to the house.</p><br>
<p>The Ephriam DuPuy Stone House is located on Whitfield Road near the hamlet of Kerhonkson, New York, United States, in the Ulster County town of Rochester. It was built in the mid-18th century.</p><br>
<p>It has been very well preserved since the time of its construction. In 1995 it and a wellhouse on the property were listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Buildings and grounds</h2><br>
<p>The house is located on a trapezoidal 2 acre parcel on the northeast corner of the junction of Airport and Whitfield roads two miles north of the US 209 highway. It is mostly wooded, with nearby areas cleared and used as fields. Three other stone houses listed on the Register, the Middaugh, Krom and Hornbeck houses to the north, east and south respectively. There are two outbuildings, a non-contributing modern garage across Whitfield Road and a contributing wellhouse on the parcel.</p><br>
<p>The main house is a one-and-a-half-story linear stone building with gabled roof pierced by two brick chimneys at the ends and a gabled dormer window in the center of each side. It is shingled in asphalt on the south with the original standing seam metal remaining on the north. The gable peaks are sided in clapboard and the rest of the house has remainining whitewash. A vertical seam in the middle of the south (rear) facade, the side of the house most visible from the nearby road, is the result of the house&#39;s construction in two segments.</p><br>
<p>Entrances to either elevation are located off-center, to the east on the north and the west on the south. All windows on the ground floor are two-over-two double-hung sash, with louvered shutters. The upper windows are smaller six-over six, paired on the west and single on the east. The dormers are similarly treated. They light a centrally located stair inside that divides two large rooms.</p><br>
<p>The wellhouse is a small frame building topped with a gable roof. It is sided in flushboard. Paired louvered panels divided by a central mullion shelter the well.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Earlier accounts suggest the home was built in 1730, the year Ephriam DuPuy was born. It is more likely that it was built 20 years later when he married. His father&#39;s will left him the house and barn "already in his possession". Ephriam served as a first lieutenant in the Third Ulster Regiment during the Revolutionary War.</p><br>
<p>At the time of its construction, in separate halves, the front of the house faced south. Later renovations turned that around. The wellhouse was built in 1890, the garage in the early 20th century. There have been no other significant changes to the property since then.</p><br>
<p>The Greenwich Senior Center, formerly Greenwich Town Hall, is located at 299 Greenwich Avenue in the business district of Greenwich, Connecticut. USA. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 21, 1987.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building is a Beaux Arts design by Mowbray and Uffinger, and was built in 1905 by Robert M. Bruce to serve as the Town Hall of Greenwich. The building is shaped like a vertical cube and has three stories, rusticated at the first story. The roof rises above a copper cornice and has a clock built below a domed cupola. In 1977, the town government offices were moved to a building that was formerly used by the Greenwich High School at Field Point Road. The building is now used as a senior center.</p><br>
<p>The East 80th Street Houses are a group of four attached rowhouses on that street in the New York City borough of Manhattan. They are built of brick with various stone trims in different versions of the Colonial Revival architectural style.</p><br>
<p>They were built in the 1920s as homes for wealthy New Yorkers of that era, including Vincent Astor, Clarence Dillon and George Whitney. All were designated city landmarks by 1967, the first group of houses on the Upper East Side so recognized. In 1980, all four houses were listed on the National Register of Historic Places as intact surviving examples of high-style townhouses for affluent homebuyers of that time period.</p><br>
<h2>Buildings</h2><br>
<p>The four houses are located on the south side of East 80th Street between Park and Lexington avenues, on land that rises gently from East 79th Street to the south. The block has an assortment of similarly sized buildings, most more modern. It is primarily residential with mixed use development on the neighboring avenues. The area is considered part of the Upper East Side.</p><br>
<p>Westernmost in the row is 116 East 80th, the Lewis Spencer Morris House. It is a four-story, four-bay building of brick laid in Flemish bond with marble trim topped by a pediment that hides the attic. Continuous belt courses divide the first story from the English basement below and second story above. They are echoed by a continuous stone cornice at the roofline. Festoons and medallions decorate the entablature above. A projecting central section, flanked by entrance bays, features a central entrance where marble surrounds and consoles support an entablature below an arched fanlight.</p><br>
<p>Next door, 120 East 80th, the George Whitney House, is a six-story house also in brick with marble trim. Its most notable feature is a central projecting semicircular marble portico where two fluted Doric columns support an entablature at a string course between the first and second stories. The portico is reinforced by a round-arched main entrance and pedimented second-story window above. The other second story windows have iron railings and splayed brick lintels. Above the third story a cornice with blocks sets off the slate-covered mansard roof, pierced by three dormers with segmental arched roofs on the first of its stories and four on the second, recessed slightly and set off with a wood railing. The top of the mansard roof conceals the sixth story.</p><br>
<p>Its eastern neighbor, 124 East 80th, the Clarence Dillon House, is also a six-story brick building in the Neo-Georgian style. Its front facade culminates in a pediment, which along with the high end chimneys conceals the two top stories. It, too, has a classically detailed entrance, flanked by Ionic pilasters supporting a segmented pediment. Brick quoins accentuate the second and third stories.</p><br>
<p>The last house in the row, the Vincent and Helen Astor House at 130 East 80th, is the only one not of brick. It is a five-story, three-bay Neo-Adamesque building faced in French limestone laid in an ashlar pattern. It shares classical detailing with the two houses to the west. The entrance, two paneled doors surmounted by a fanlight, is sheltered by a small portico supported by Ionic columns. The window above echoes the fanlight with a blind arch, and on either side two-story Ionic pilasters support a full entablature with dentil course and four paterae. Above it a pediment with gently pitched slate roof runs the full width of the house.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The block between 79th, 80th, Park and Lexington was first developed in 1870 with a row of 19 three-story brownstones on the north side of 79th, right after the street was built. No other houses were built there until 1907, when two sisters had a double-width Georgian built at 123 East 79th. Eight years later, in 1915, a relative of theirs had a house built at 121 East 79th, which went all the way through to the back of the block. Other grand houses were built on East 79th, but the land behind them on the site of the East 80th Street houses remained undeveloped into the 1920s.</p><br>
<p>The first of the houses to be built on East 80th Street was 116. The firm of Cross and Cross, known for other designs in New York of the era such as Tiffanys and the Links Club, built the neo-Federal home for Lewis Spencer Morris, a descendant of Lewis Morris, signer of the Declaration of Independence. It was joined in 1927 by Mott B. Schmidts neo-Adamesque style home for Vincent Astor at 130. Astor also had Schmidt design a matching garage to replace the brownstone at 121 East 79th.</p><br>
<p>Two years later, the two architects built one more house apiece on the block. Cross and Cross contributed the neo-Georgian building at 120 for George Whitney in 1929, and in 1930 Schmidt put the finishing touch on the block with a similar house for financier Clarence Dillon at 124. During the late 1920s, the four wealthy residents of the East 80th Street houses, who liked the location because the rise in the land complemented by the low houses behind them on the south side of East 79th let the sun into their gardens, bought up the lots behind them on the north side of East 79th. They did this to prevent them from being acquired by developers of new high-rise apartment buildings that would have blocked the sun.</p><br>
<p>The four houses were among the last built in their styles before the Great Depression changed American ideas about luxury housing. The residents kept the block and their vacant rear lots together until 1942, when they began to sell them off. The Junior League of New York moved into the Astor House later in the decade, and found it so well maintained it did not need a sprinkler system in the yard. The last parcel, the Astors&#39; garage, was sold by Brooke Astor in 1964.</p><br>
<p>Three years later, in 1967, the Morris and Dillon houses were the first houses on the Upper East Side recognized by the Landmarks Preservation Commission. The Astor House followed three months later. Late in 1968, the Whitney House completed the set.</p><br>
<p>Other than the Junior League, the houses have largely remained private residential properties. At the time they were listed on the National Register, in 1980, the Dillon House was owned by Iraq for diplomatic purposes. One unit has been remodeled in Early American style by the residents, who have lived there since 2000.</p><br>
<p>The John Randall House is a historic house on Connecticut Route 2 in North Stonington, Connecticut. It is set on a rural parcel of land down a long lane on the west side of Route 2, about 2,000 ft north of its junction with Interstate 95. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, five asymmetrical bays wide, with a large central chimney. Its oldest portion probably dates to the late 17th century, although its main block probably reached its present configuration c. 1720. The house is framed with inch-thick planking, a common technique of the period, although the planking was usually thinner. The house was part of a farm named Anguilla Farm by the namesake son of the original proprietor, John Randall, a husbandman and Sabbatarian from England. The house was the subject of a restoration guided by early preservationist Norman Isham.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 1, 1978.</p><br>
<p>Harmony Hall Plantation, one of the oldest residences in North Carolina, is located in White Oak.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Harmony Hall was built by Col. James Richardson prior to 1768. The 12,000 to 15,000 acre plot it originally occupied on the banks of the Cape Fear River was partially a grant from King George III for Col. Richardson&#39;s gallant service with General James Wolfe in the French and Indian War. The Colonel became interested in the land after he and his brother were shipwrecked off of Cape Hatteras and had to spend several months making repairs in Bladen County, NC before they could return to their home in Stonington, Connecticut. Col. James fell in the love with the land and, after receiving a large tract of land their for his service, he built his home there, 12 mi from Elizabethtown, NC and 1 mi from the river. The building is frame built in a two-story Gabled style with two-story galleries, an unusually tall foundation with ventilation holes, and exterior stairs leading from the second story to a full attic. The interior is partially paneled with wide pine boards, some with chair-rails and some plastered above a paneled dado. The mantels are modeled after the Adam design. Shortly after completing the construction, Col. James was captured by the British army during the Revolutionary War and paroled. However, after learning of many British soldiers breaking their parole, he too broke his and re-enlisted in the American Army.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<h2>Cornwallis legend</h2><br>
<p>In a local legend associated with the home, General Cornwallis used Harmony Hall as his headquarters for a time during his march to Wilmington, North Carolina. According to the legend, one night he and his staff were planning their campaign against General Greene in an upstairs bedroom when Mrs. Richardson crept up the exterior stairwell and eavesdropped through a hole in the ceiling, overhearing their plans. After creeping back down, she dispatched the plantation overseer to warn General Greene, allowing him to defeat Cornwallis. However, careful historical analysis has shown that although General Cornwallis marched within several miles of Harmony Hall, he was always on the opposite side of the Cape Fear River. There is no historical evidence to suggest that he crossed the river at any time. The legend may have some truth, as there is a chance that the Richardson ladies relocated during the war and had contact with General Cornwallis at some different location, but there is no way to determine this.</p><br>
<h2>After the Revolutionary War</h2><br>
<p>Harmony Hall remained in the hands of the Richardson family until Col. James&#39; grandson, Captain Edmund Richardson, moved to Texas and sold it to unknown parties in 1865. In 1874 it passed into the hands of the Layton family, who owned it from that point until 1962, when the property was given to the Bladen County Historical Society by N. Arthur Layton, Jr., of Winter Haven, Florida as a memorial to his parents and Col. James A. Richardson.</p><br>
<h2>Property and grounds</h2><br>
<p>In addition to the home itself, there are several other buildings on the property. There is a schoolhouse, two restored country stores, a chapel, corn-crib, external kitchen, log cabin, and a gatehouse, most of which were not originally on the property and were relocated and restored. There is also a small cottage, used as a caretaker&#39;s cabin. A short way across the river is located the Purdie-Richardson family cemetery, although the property no longer belongs to the home.</p><br>
<p>The C. K. Schoonmaker Stone House is located on Queens Highway near the hamlet of Kerhonkson, New York, United States, in the Ulster County town of Rochester. It is a stone bank house erected in the early 19th century.</p><br>
<p>It has remained mostly intact from the time of its construction. In 1997 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The house is on a 2 acre lot on the east side of Queens Highway, approximately 1.5 mi north of highway US 209. The area is rural, a combination of woodlots and small fields. The lot is mostly wooded, with many mature locust trees and shrubbery partially screening the house from the road. The foundation of an old barn is located to the east.</p><br>
<p>The house itself is a two-story five-bay stone structure built into a rise in the land so that its basement is exposed on the south (front) side. It is topped by a gabled roof pierced by brick chimneys at either end. A three-quarter-width shed-roofed two-story frame addition is one the west. Ivy covers the south end of the front facade and that side&#39;s chimney. All windows have board-and-batten shutters.</p><br>
<p>A centrally located two-story wooden porch shelters the main entrance on the basement level behind vertical wainscot and diagonal latticework. Above it is a balustraded balcony whose gabled roof is supported by square pillars. At the rear a corresponding entrance on the upper floor is complemented by a full-length patio. Next to the wing on the west is a basement door sheltered by a cantilevered porch. On the rear elevation a shed-roofed dormer window surmounts the main entrance.</p><br>
<p>The main entrance, with sidelights and transom, opens onto an interior with a central hall plan on both floors. Both the modern and historic kitchen, with the remains of a beehive oven, are on the first floor. Many rooms retain original finishes, such as the wall plaster, wideboard flooring and exposed ceiling beams, along with some original molding.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built in the early 19th century, a variant on the linear model of stone houses popular at the time. It was called a bank house since it was built into a rise in the earth, like a few others in the town. At some point in the late 20th century the shed-roofed dormer window over the main entrance was removed. There have been no other major changes to the house.</p><br>
<p>The Dirck Westbrook Stone House is located on Old Whitfield Road near the hamlet of Kerhonkson in the Town of Rochester, New York, United States. It is a stone structure that dates in part to the early 18th century.</p><br>
<p>A century after it was built, a larger Greek Revival front was added. The property has otherwise remained intact. In 1999 it and some accompanying outbuildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Buildings and grounds</h2><br>
<p>The house and its outbuildings are located on a triangular 5 acre lot between Old Whitfield and Whitfield roads roughly one mile (1.6 km) north of the US 209 highway. Canyon Lake Road leaves to the east opposite the property&#39;s driveway and crosses the North Peterskill, a subtributary of Rondout Creek. The lot is planted with mature trees, particularly locusts in front of the house. The surrounding area is generally rural, consisting of either fields or woodlots.</p><br>
<p>There are five resources on the lot. In addition to the house there are two other buildings, a garage and caretakers&#39; house. Both are modern and not considered as contributing to its historic character. A smokehouse, privy and state historical marker are considered contributing.</p><br>
<p>The main house itself is a two-story five-bay main block of rubblestone with clapboard siding above the first story. It is topped with a gabled roof shingled in asphalt over the original metal and pierced by two stone chimneys. A one-and-a-half-story wing with similar treatment, the original house, projects northward from the north (rear) facade, pierced by a central chimney. Next to it is a modern enclosed frame porch.</p><br>
<p>On the south (front) elevation, the main entrance is flanked by double-hung nine-over-nine sash windows with wooden shutters. Above them are eyebrow windows set in the frieze. The main entrance is framed by a wooden surround. In the rear the porch is topped with a segmental arched dormer window. The kitchen wing has a sash window similar to those on the main house&#39;s attic set in a central shallow-pitched dormer with overhanging eaves and a flat soffit. The ground floor windows on that wing have slightly pedimented lintels.</p><br>
<p>Behind the house is a modern garage at the end of the drive. To its north are the smokehouse and gable-roofed privy. The caretaker&#39;s house is at the south corner of the property, near the 1920s-era state historical marker.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Dirck Westbrook&#39;s is associated with the property from at least 1709, when the local town trustees granted him the land between the house and Mettacahonts Creek to the north. It is believed that he had established himself in the town earlier than that, around 1700. The front block was added in the early 19th century, a common practice at that time.</p><br>
<p>The Jacob Hoornbeck Stone House is located at the junction of Boice Mill and Drum Farm roads in Kerhonkson, New York, United States, a hamlet of the Town of Rochester in Ulster County. It was erected in the early 19th century using the Georgian architectural style, incorporating an earlier house as its rear wing.</p><br>
<p>It reflects a later generation of stone houses built by the descendants of Dutch settlers in the town, features like the full stone gable fields on either end. In 1999 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as part of a multiple property submission of stone houses in Rochester.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The house is located at the northwest corner of the junction of the two roads. It is on a 15 acre lot that straddles Boice Mill Road to Mill Brook south of the property, where the remains of a mill once on the site can be seen at the base of a steep waterfall. To the east, across Drum Farm Road, are barns built when the house was the center of a much larger dairy farm. The surrounding neighborhood is a rural area of fields and woodlots.</p><br>
<p>The building itself is a two-and-a-half-story five-bay stone structure topped with a gabled roof shingled in asphalt with two interior brick chimneys at either end. A one-and-a-half-story rear wing, the original house on the site, projects to the north at the east corner. It has a gabled roof shingled in asphalt with a modern porch over its eastern entrance. At the northwest corner a hip roofed porch also connects the two sections.</p><br>
<p>At the center of the south (front) facade of the main block is the recessed main entrance, a paneled door set between paneled pilasters with capitals that divide the sidelights. They support an entablature with a full-width similarly divided transom. There are two small two-over-two sash windows on either side. All other windows are 12-over-12 with louvered wooden shutters.</p><br>
<p>The paneled front door opens into a modified central hall divided into front and rear sections separated by an arched entryway. The hallway divides two rooms of equal size on either side. This arrangement is replicated on the second floor. The rear wing has a kitchen on the ground level and a loft upstairs. Throughout the building, all finishes are original.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Records show the water rights to the property in the hands of Jacob Hoornbeck&#39;s family from 1703 onward. They established a mill on the brook near the property, the remains of which can still be seen. It is not known when the original house, which now serves as the kitchen wing, was built. The Georgian main block was added to it around the turn of the 19th century.</p><br>
<p>Later in that century the kitchen wing may have been used as a hoop shop. A few changes were made to the house during that period. A front porch was removed some time between 1967 and the property&#39;s listing on the Register. There have been no other significant alterations to the house in the course of its existence.</p><br>
<p>The Hornbeck Stone House is a historic home located on Whitfield Road near the hamlet of Kerhonkson, New York, United States, in the Town of Rochester in Ulster County, New York. It was built in two sections in the mid-18th century.</p><br>
<p>Its appearance has been slightly altered since its construction, but it retains the integrity of its original design. In 1999 it and several outbuildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The house is on an irregularly shaped 11.3 acre lot on the east side of Whitfield Road almost two miles (3.2 km) north of the US 209 highway. The lot is bisected by the North Peterskill, a tributary of Rondout Creek. It is wooded, giving way to small fields in surrounding areas. Other land in the area is used for farming or similar large residential lots, with the exception of the high ground of Whitfield Cemetery to the northeast.</p><br>
<p>There are four buildings on the property, a chicken coop, garage and shed in addition to the house. All besides the house are not considered contributing to its historic character. Its main block is a one-and-a-half-story five-bay rectangular stone structure topped by a steeply pitched gable roof pierced by two chimneys and three shed-roofed dormers. A small one-story wing projects from the south.</p><br>
<p>Full-width shed-roofed porches supported by wooden square pillars run the length of the west (front) elevation and the east. The main entrance is off-center, located on the second northern bay between two-over-two double-hung sash windows. A secondary entrance is located at the west corner of the south gable end. The shed dormers have a pair of eight-over-eight sash on the sides and a single one in the center.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built in two separate sections around 1750. The southern third came first; its intact exterior wall is still visible in the interior. When completed the house had one single shed dormer with three windows in the middle of the west elevation; late 20th-century renovations created the current configuration. The southernmost front window was once a third entryway.</p><br>
<p>The March Route of Rochambeau&#39;s Army: Bailey Road is a section of abandoned, old roadway that is a historic site in Bolton, Connecticut. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<p>It is along the march route taken by French commander Rochambeaus troops in 1781 and is "the most intact and evocative section of Rochambeaus route." Bailey Road originally connected Route 6 with Brandy Street in Bolton but the portion west of the Andover-Bolton town line has since been overgrown and is no longer passable by motor vehicles. A remnant of Bailey Road in Bolton still exists as an unpaved foot path and still retains the characteristic stone walls as well as two original stone culverts.</p><br>
<p>Multiple other properties whose association with Rochambeau&#39;s route is known were also considered for listing on the National Register in a study.</p><br>
<p>The Krom Stone House at 45 Upper Whitfield Road in the Ulster County Town of Rochester, New York, United States, is one of several houses associated with that family. It was built somewhere between 1680-1720.</p><br>
<p>A frame wing added over a century later, along with clapboard siding over the original home. In 1995 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The house is located on an irregularly shaped 8.1 acre lot on the north side of Upper Whitfield Road, a half-mile (1 km) west of Accord Speedway and 500 feet (150 m) west of another Krom stone house. The area is mostly wooded, as the land begins to rise into the Catskill Mountains to the west. There are some small clearings nearby for other houses. A small stream, its channel lined in stone, flows to the west of the house.</p><br>
<p>To the west of the house is a modern frame hip roofed garage with drop siding. Scattered behind the house to the north and east are four chicken coops, one story shed-roofed frame buildings. None of these are considered contributing resources to the property&#39;s historic character.</p><br>
<p>The house itself has a two-bay two-story fieldstone main block with side-gabled roof shingled in asphalt. The upper story has been sided in clapboard to match the two-story frame rear wing. The exposed fieldstone has been painted white as well.</p><br>
<p>A shed-roofed porch with stone deck supported by four round columns runs the full width of the south (front) elevation on the first story and wraps around to the east. That gable end has a picture window with an art-glass top. A satellite dish projects from the southwest corner of the second story.</p><br>
<p>The rear wing was built so its east wall is continuous with that of the original block, giving the current house a rough "L" shape. Its west side has a semi-hexagonal projecting bay window overlooking the stream. An exterior chimney rises up the north end of the wing. At the southeast corner of the wing is the house&#39;s secondary entrance.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The original house is believed to have been built between 1680-1720. At that time it was a simple one-and-half-story stone house. In 1890 that block was raised an additional story and the rear wing put on, both using timber instead of stone. The garage and chicken coops were added in the 20th century.</p><br>
<p>The Adrian Engine House No. 1 is a historic fire station located at 126 East Church Street in downtown Adrian, Michigan. It was designated as a Michigan Historic Site and listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 21, 1989. It is located within the Downtown Adrian Commercial Historic District and next to the Adrian Public Library.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Adrian Fire Department dates back to 1841, with the formation of a volunteer company. A second company was founded in 1845, and by 1851 the two companies had over 100 volunteers. In 1855, construction began on this fire station to house Engine Company #1. It was put into service early in 1856. In 1867, the city went to a full-time fire department, and purchased new steam equipment and horses to pull it, necessitating the addition of stables to the building and other changes to house the equipment. In 1877, an addition directly abutting the engine house was constructed to house new equipment.</p><br>
<p>In 1912-14, new motorized equipment was purchase to replace the horse-drawn equipment. In 1917, the two companies in the city were consolidated into this building. Concrete floors were added in 1932. The fire station was used by the city until 1987, making it the oldest continuously operating fire station in Michigan when it closed. After that, the building was internally restructured into retail office space, while the outside had remained unchanged. It is currently occupied by the Adrian Design Group.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Adrian Engine House is constructed mostly of bricks mixed with a few later additions made of wood. It was built with a mixture of Romanesque Revival and Italianate architecture. The main feature of the fire station is a landmark tower once used for drying the fire hoses. At 70 feet (21 m) tall, it is one of the tallest structures in the city.</p><br>
<p>The front facade has a gabled parapet with a hip-roofed wood belfry at the center of the facade. The second floor contains four arched windows, and vehicular doors below are also of arched brick.</p><br>
<p>The Adrian Public Library is a historic structure located at 110 East Church Street in downtown Adrian, Michigan. Originally used as a library, it was designated as a Michigan Historic Site on December 14, 1976, and later listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 6, 1977.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Although the library branch dates back to 1868, its first independent library structure was completed in 1909 with a $27,500 grant from the Andrew Carnegie Library Fund in addition to $5,000 donated by the city. Illinois architect Paul O. Moratz designed the library, and it was completed by local contractor C. F. Matthes. The building was designed to hold a public library as well as an art gallery and lecture auditorium.</p><br>
<p>It was formally dedicated and opened on February 5, 1909, and was used as a school district library until it transferred ownership to the city in 1915. When the building itself became insufficient, a new location at 143 East Maumee Street opened on June 12, 1978, and remains in operation. The old location passed through several owners before being given back to the city. The building is used to house the Lenawee County Historical Society Museum.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The building is 2½ stories and built with a mix of Mission Revival Style, Spanish Colonial Revival, and Richardsonian Romanesque architecture. It is constructed of brick and sandstone, and measures 70 feet by 70 feet. Standing on a corner lot, the building has two main entrance facades. Both entryway are through massive arches, 18 feet high and 17 feet wide, trimmed with carved sandstone. Near each entryway is a tower, one rising 66 feet and the other 44 feet. A semi-circular room pushes outward on the corner between the towers.</p><br>
<p>On the interior, a first floor lobby with coved ceiling connects the entrances. Two other large rectangular rooms are on the first floor, along with the semicircular room and two rooms in the bases of the towers. The second floor has the same floor plan.</p><br>
<p>The Wailuku Civic Center Historic District is a group of four historic buildings and one non-contributing property in Wailuku, Maui Hawaii that currently house the governmental offices of both the County of Maui and the State of Hawaii. The historic buildings were built during a time span from 1901 to 1931. They incorporate several architectural styles and two of the four historic buildings were designed and built by Hawaii-based architect C.W. Dickey. The non-contributing property houses most of the County of Maui&#39;s main offices.</p><br>
<h2>Old Wailuku Courthouse</h2><br>
<p>The Courthouse was built in 1907, allowing the court to move in 1908 from an inadequate facility just across the street (where the current Territorial Building now stands), which had been built in 1880. The old Courthouse was then used as Maui County&#39;s Town Hall.</p><br>
<p>Designed by Henry Livingston Kerr, the design incorporates Beaux-Arts architecture. The 7,000 ft&sup2, 68 ft by 52 ft structure is built of concrete block cast-like stone set upon a below-grade reinforced foundation that also houses another floor of office space. The "cast stone" was created onsite and patterned randomly to prevent repetition. This was deemed more economical than hauling quarried stone, though the blocks were just as difficult to install at 400 lb each. The current hipped wood-framed roof was installed in 1929, replacing the original flat roof which had been leaking. In 1962, a further 5,000 ft&sup2; was added to the courthouse, which included the addition of a basement.</p><br>
<p>The building&#39;s use as a courthouse ended when a new Circuit Court building was built just down the street. Bought by the County of Maui, it currently houses the offices of the Prosecuting Attorney.</p><br>
<h2>Kalana Pakui Building/Old Police Station</h2><br>
<p>The Kalana Pakui Building was built in 1925 and designed by Maui architect William D&#39;Esmond, incorporating Mediterranean Revival Style architecture. it is currently used as the Planning Department Offices for Maui County.</p><br>
<h2>Wailuku Library</h2><br>
<p>The current Wailuku Library was built in 1928 to replace another building on the same site used by the Maui County Free Library, which was created by the Maui Womens Club in 1919 as the first Library on Maui. Designed by Hawaii-based architect C.W. Dickey, the building incorporates both Mediterranean Revival & Hawaiian architecture cues. It is a single story asymmetrical building with a prominent double-pitched hip roof, which shelters the main building. The entryway features a tiled drinking fountain with a Silversword tiled motif. Two wings, each with lower but equally dramatic double-pitched hip roofs, extend to the right rear and left of the building. The walls are plastered, and contain long, thin casement windows. A large Monkey-Pod Tree sits to the west of the Library; it is the first site of Mauis first public telephone in 1878.</p><br>
<p>The library, operated by the Hawaii State Library System, is open Monday-Friday, and houses a Bookmobile.</p><br>
<h2>Territorial Building</h2><br>
<p>The Territorial Building was built in 1931, on the site of the former Courthouse/Town Hall for Maui next to the Ka&#39;ahumanu Church. Designed by Hawaii-based architect C.W. Dickey, the building incorporates both Mediterranean Revival & Hawaiian architecture cues. The two-story stucco-covered stone building features a similar double-pitched hip roof like the library, with the addition of overhanging eaves and exposed rafters. A central entryway has a shed roofed lanai with decorative tiled elements, including a Spanish tile bench. Wrought-iron mock balconies, with French Doors, are to either side of the entryway lanai.</p><br>
<p>It currently houses the Governor of Hawaii&#39;s Liaison office among other state offices.</p><br>
<h2>Kalana O Maui County Building</h2><br>
<p>Within the historic district is the Kalana O Maui County Building of Maui, which is situated between the Courthouse and Old Police Station. The nine-story building, built in 1972, occupies a site formerly occupied by a firehouse and jail. It is listed as part of the historic district as a non-contributing property.</p><br>
<p>The Damariscove Lifesaving Station is a historic coastal maritime rescue facility, located on Damariscove Island in Boothbay, Maine. The station was built in 1897, and is one of the more architecturally distinguished of the surviving stations. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 25, 1987. It is now privately owned.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Damariscove Island is the southernmost of a chain of islands extending south from the Maine coast, defining the eastern side of Boothbay Harbor. It is roughly in the shape of an inverted Y, with a narrow channel between the legs of the Y. The Damariscove Lifesaving Station is located facing this channel on the western leg. It is an asymmetrically massed 1-1/2 story wood frame structure, its sections covered by hip roofs, with an octagonal observation tower at the southeast corner. The boathouse portion of the station extends east from the main block, with the bay doors facing north.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The United States Life-Saving Service was established in 1874 by the United States government to provide marine rescue services along the nations shores and waterways. Between then and 1929, the Service, and its successor the United States Coast Guard, built twelve stations on the Maine coast. This one was built in 1897, to design by the services staff architect, Victor Mendelheff. It is distinguished from the other surviving stations in the state by its octagonal observation tower, and a generally more sophisticated architectural style. The station was manned by the Service and later the Coast Guard, until 1959. The station is now privately owned.</p><br>
<p>The Sheepscot Historic District encompasses a historic village in Alna and Newcastle, Maine. Located just below the mouth of Dyer Brook where it enters the Sheepscot River, the 1,200 acre includes an area that has seen little alteration in more than 100 years, and includes one of the oldest roadways in the state. The area is archaeologically sensitive for prehistoric and historic settlement sites. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 23, 1978.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The village of Sheepscot lies astride a narrow point in the upper tidal section of the Sheepscot River, which is the border between the towns of Newcastle and Alna. The main portion of the village consists of a row of closely spaced houses along The Kings Highway, one of the Maines oldest roads, which runs south from the east-west Sheepscot Road on the Newcastle side of the river, just south of the mouth of Dyer Creek. Just south of the junction stands the Sheepscott Community Church, and there are a scattering of residences on the Alna side. The buildings exhibit a range of 19th-century architecture styles, from the Federal, through the Greek Revival, to the Italianate period.</p><br>
<p>The area has a colonial settlement history dating at least to the 1630s, and possibly the 1620s, and was before then the site of Native American activity. The Sheepscot area fell between major land grants, one bounded on the east by the Kennebec River, the other on the west by the Damariscotta River. The first bridge spanning the Sheepscot was built here in 1794, and the present bridge occupies roughly the original footprint of that bridge.</p><br>
<p>The Glidden-Austin Block is a historic commercial building at 52 Main Street in Newcastle, Maine. Built in 1845, it is a prominent local example of mid-19th century commercial architecture, occupying a prominent location in the community&#39;s downtown area. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 28, 1975.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Glidden-Austin Block occupies a prominent location at the junction of Academy Hill Street and Main Street (Business United States Route 1) in the center of Newcastle. It is a 3-1/2 story brick building, with a gabled roof and granite foundation. The ground floor is seven bays wide, with two three-bay storefronts flanking a central building entrance. Each storefront consists of large fixed-pane display windows on either side of the store entrance, the elements divided and topped by rough granite lintels and posts. The second and third floors each have five windows, each with granite sills and lintels. Three gabled dormers project from the roof, and chimneys rise from the side walls.</p><br>
<p>The block was built in 1845 by William Taylor Glidden, a prominent local ships captain and merchant. Soon after building it, Glidden took on as a partner in the building Algernon S. Austin, a blacksmith who was involved in the locally prominent shipbuilding industry. The building probably originally housed a chandlers shop on the ground floor and residences above. It has seen a wide variety of uses, including as a garment factory, undertaker&#39;s shop, and tenement house. It presently houses the Newcastle Publick House, a restaurant and bar.</p><br>
<p>The Gov. Edward Kavanaugh House is a historic house on Maine State Route 215 in the Damariscotta Mills area of Newcastle, Maine. Built in 1803, it is a fine example of Federal period residential architecture, and is historically notable for its association with one of Maine early Irish Catholic immigrants, James Kavanagh. The house was later home to his son, Maine Governor Edward Kavanagh. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 3, 1974.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Kavanaugh House is located just west of the village of Damariscotta Mills, between Pond Road (SR 215) and Damariscotta Lake to the north. The house is a large two-story structure, nearly square in footprint, with a hip roof topped by an octagonal cupola. It rests on a granite foundation, and its main facade is finished in matchboard siding, while the sides and rear are finished in clapboards. The roof is encircled by a low balustrade, and has a dentillated cornice. The building corners are pilastered. The main facade is five bays wide, with the entrance at the center, set in a round-arch opening with a half-round fan above the door. The entrance is sheltered by a half-round porch, supported by Ionic columns, which rise to an entablature and balustrade. Above the entry is a Palladian-style three-part window, flanked by narrow pilasters, with a fan louver above the center window.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1803, and is one of Maines most sophisticated examples of Federal architecture. It was built by Nicholas Codd, an Irish immigrant and housewright who is also credited with the Matthew Cottrill House in Damariscotta, and the brick St. Patricks Catholic Church which stands near this house. Codd, apparently based in Boston, Massachusetts, was lured to work in this area by James Kavanagh and Matthew Cottrill, both early Irish immigrants to the area. They were successful businessmen, and James Kavanagh&#39;s son Edward became Governor of Maine in 1843, finishing the term of John Fairfield, who had won election to the United States Senate.</p><br>
<p>The Perkins Tide Mill was one of the last surviving 18th-century tide mills in the United States. Located on Mill Lane in Kennebunkport, Maine, it was built in 1749 and operated until 1939. It was destroyed by an arsonist in 1994. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, the property&#39;s present owners, the Kennebunkport Conservation Trust, are contemplating construction of a replica.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Perkins Tide Mill was located on the north side of Kennebunkport village, on the northeast shore of Mill Stream, a tidal arm of the Kennebunk River. Its main building was an L-shaped wood frame structure, set on wooden pilings and a rubblestone foundation. It had a cross-gabled roof, and was finished in wooden shingles. The mill interior housed a wide variety of equipment related to the history of its operation as a grist mill, including a waterwheel, grindstones, and gears and shafts. A dam, still partially in evidence, extended across Mill Stream, with a sluiceway near the building.</p><br>
<p>The mill was built in 1749, and was successively adapted to new technologies until 1939, when it ceased operations. Its original grindstone was imported from England, and the dam was originally granite with pine posts. A new grindstone was imported from France in 1866, and the dam was rebuilt in 1963, with most of the old structure retained under the new.</p><br>
<p>The Maine Trolley Cars are a group of 10 rail vehicles, mostly trolley cars, located in Kennebunkport, Maine. The cars were built in various years between 1893 and 1926, and the group was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 14, 1980. The trolley cars are a small part of the large collection of vehicles at the Seashore Trolley Museum. While the museum&#39;s collection of more than 250 vehicles includes ones from several different USA states and a few foreign countries, the 10 vehicles in the National Register listing were all operated in the state of Maine at one time.</p><br>

<p>The Kennebunkport Historic District encompasses most of the village center of Kennebunkport, Maine. It includes the town&#39;s highest concentration of historic architecture, with many buildings from the late 18th and early 19th century, when Kennebunkport was at its height as a shipping and shipbuilding center. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 6, 1976.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Kennebunkport lies on the coast of southern Maine, between the Kennebunk River and the Little River. Its main village is located in the southwestern part of the town, on the north bank of the tidal Kennebunk River, inland from the coast. This area was first incorporated as Cape Porpoise in 1653, was abandoned during the wars of the late 17th and early 18th centuries, and was resettled in 1719. It was incorporated as Kennebunkport in 1820. The town&#39;s early economic success as a shipbuilding and shipping center, which was eventually supplanted by its development beginning in the 1870s as a summer resort area, which was centered in the Cape Arundel area.</p><br>
<p>The major roads in Kennebunkport village are Western Avenue, which runs southwest to cross the river into Kennebunk, North Street, which runs inland, and Ocean and Maine Streets, which run parallel to the river, southward toward Cape Arundel. The district extends along these roads, and includes numerous properties on the side streets which connect them. It has 147 buildings, of which only 24 were built after 1925. Most of these later structures (for example, the 1960 town offices) are in sympathetic styles. Residential properties in the district are typically high-quality vernacular interpretations of architectural styles popular at the time of their construction. A few houses date to the colonial period, including the 1745 Gideon Walker House on South Street, which was altered to plans by John Calvin Stevens in 1910. The largest number of buildings in the district are from the Federal period, when Kennebunkport was at its economic height. One of the finest houses from this period is the Capt. Nathaniel Lord Mansion, separately listed on the National Register in 1973.</p><br>
<p>The Paul Harvey Deming House </p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Paul Harvey Deming House, built in 1907, was one of the first year-round residences constructed in Grosse Pointe Farms. It was built in the site of some of the first of the area&#39;s summer cottages, built in the late 1800s. The lot on which the house was built is a long and narrow lakefront property, measuring 150 ft wide and 614 ft deep.</p><br>
<h2>Paul Harvey Deming</h2><br>
<p>Paul Harvey Deming was born in Cleveland, Ohio on June 19, 1874. His father was one of the earliest residents of that city and the directing head of the George Worthington Company. He attended school in Cleveland as well as Cornell University before entering the business of automobile manufacturing with the White Motor Company, manufacturer of the White Steamer. In 1904, Deming married Helen Smith of Detroit, and in 1905, he left Cleveland to become vice-president of the American State Bank of Detroit, the position he held when this house was built. Deming stayed with American until 1919, when he joined House Financing Corporation of Detroit. Deming was also Chairman of the Board of the George Worthington Company.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The house was a 15000 square foot, two-and-a-half-story Tudor Revival built in the shape of a U. The exterior of the house was covered with stucco, with decorative half-timbers typical of Tudor architecture in the gables. The main entrance, on one side of the U, was covered by a porte-cochere. The roof consisted of intersecting gables, steeply pitched.</p><br>
<p>The house sat on the rear half of the lot, and was reached by a private drive from Lakeshore Road. The grounds were well-landscaped.</p><br>
