<p>The Cecil and Hermione Alexander House, also known as Shenandoah, in Atlanta, Georgia is a modern, circular plan house designed by, and home for, Atlanta architect Cecil Alexander. The home was featured in Progressive Architecture in 1959 and in Life in 1959 and 1961. One aspect commented on was its supposedly inexpensive cable-suspended plywood roof.</p><br>
<p>According to the National Park Service:</p><br>
<p>The Cecil and Hermione Alexander House is a modern house with a circular plan designed by Atlanta architect Cecil Alexander as his family’s residence. Completed in 1957, the house was one of the first modernist houses in Atlanta. The home features curved brick walls, flat roof, and sheet glass walls, and is organized around a central court, while the folded-plate roof floods the interior with light. According to Alexander, the circular plan “is so arranged that the family at least once or twice a day has to get together, just by necessity.”</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places on March 25, 2010.</p><br>
<p>The central courtyard was originally designed to encircle an old oak tree on the property, but the tree was not in good enough condition to be kept.</p><br>
<p>Lake Munson is a shallow reservoir on the southeast side of Tallahassee in Leon County, Florida.</p><br>
<p>Historically known as Munson&#39;s Mill Pond as early as the 1840s, in 1950 a permanent dam was constructed. From 1934 to 1984, Lake Munson received outflow from the Tallahassee waste water system, leading in 1982 to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection classifying the lake as hypereutrophic and as the seventh most degraded lake in Florida.</p><br>
<p>Cypress and willow trees line the lake, and egrets, wood storks, and limpkin are often found foraging along the shoreline, often on invasive apple snails. Bass fishing in the lake can be excellent, and a boat ramp is provided at the Gil A. Waters Lake Munson Preserve Park, with another located at the dam.</p><br>
<p>St. Louis&#39; Catholic Church is a historic Roman Catholic church in North Star, Ohio, United States. Constructed in the early twentieth century, it is one of the newest churches in a heavily Catholic region of far western Ohio, but it has been recognized as a historic site because of its unique architecture.</p><br>
<h2>Parish history</h2><br>
<p>The parish that became St. Louis Church was established in the vicinity of North Star in 1892; at this time, it was dedicated to St. John, and its first church was located in the countryside nearly 2 mi east of North Star. Shortly after this building was completed in 1893, the parish was attached for administrative purposes to St. Denis parish in Versailles, approximately 7 mi to the southeast. In 1906, the attachment was changed to St. Nicholas parish in Osgood, only 3 mi away to the northeast. By the early 1910s, the parish had decided to move to North Star, and its new building was completed in the village in 1914. Still remaining at the churchs original site is the parish cemetery, which lies at the intersection of Mangen and North Star-Fort Loramie Roads.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The church is a rectangular single-story structure with multiple gables and an off-center square bell tower. Walls of white-painted stucco rest on a concrete foundation and are topped by an asphalt roof. The interior is lit by windows of many shapes and sizes: a rose window is located above the entrance, wide stained glass windows topped with rounded arches line the walls, and narrow rectangular windows appear in the tower. While the church reflects a range of architectural styles, many of its elements, such as the cornices on the bell tower, bear evidence of the French Renaissance style. No other Catholic church in the region resembles St. Louis&#39; Church; the ecclesiastical architecture of the region typically employs the Gothic Revival style.</p><br>
<h2>Rectory</h2><br>
<p>Adjacent to the church on the west is a brick rectory; built in 1914, it replaced a small wooden rectory that has since been moved to a different part of the village. Constructed in a vernacular style, it is a square two-story structure with an ashlar foundation and an enclosed front porch. A hip roof of asbestos shingle, pierced by multiple dormers, covers the building. Among its most striking features is a stone cross, located between the second-story windows on the front of the house.</p><br>
<h2>Recent history</h2><br>
<p>In 1977, the church and rectory were recorded by an architectural survey, the Ohio Historic Inventory; it assessed both buildings as being in good condition without any threats to their integrity. Two years later, the buildings were listed together on the National Register of Historic Places because of their architectural significance. Twenty-five other churches, including two others in northeastern Darke County, were listed on the National Register at the same time as part of a multiple property submission of properties in western Ohio related to the Missionaries of the Precious Blood. St. Louis architecture is highly distinctive from and unique among the other churches of the area. In contrast to the French architecture of St. Louis Church, most of these churches feature tall Gothic Revival towers visible from a significant distance. The massive towers of the Gothic Revival churches are the namesakes for this region of western Ohio, which has been nicknamed the "Land of the Cross-Tipped Churches."</p><br>
<p>Today, St. Louis&#39; Church is an active parish of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. It is clustered with St. Remy parish in Russia and St. Nicholas parish in Osgood, and the entire cluster is part of the Sidney Deanery.</p><br>
<p>The Cook Memorial Library, also known as the Ansel B. Cook House, is a historic house museum in Libertyville, Illinois, United States. It was built as a Victorian house for contractor and politician Ansel B. Cook in 1878. In his will Cook donated the home to be used as a public library, although it remained for many years the residence of Cooks longer-lived widow. After Emily Barrows Cooks death, the building received a major Neoclassical renovation that converted it into a library, opening to the public in 1921.</p><br>
<p>By the 1960s the library had outgrown the space available, and voters approved a referendum to construct a new library. The new facility of what is now the Cook Memorial Public Library District opened directly behind the Cook House in 1968.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places in 2001. Today the Libertyville–Mundelein Historical Society operates the house as a Victorian house museum.</p><br>
<p>The Center Wheeling Market is a historic public market located along Market Street between 22nd and 23rd Streets in Wheeling, Ohio County, West Virginia. It consists of the Center Wheeling Market building as well as the Center Wheeling Fish Market. The 1853 Center Wheeling Market building was designed by architect Thomas Pope as an open market. The building is of neo-classical style with three bays and structural cast iron Doric order columns. It has a gable roof and features a belfry complete with bell. The 1890 open brick, neo-Romanesque section was designed by Wheeling architect Edward B. Franzheim. It has brick piers that support a hipped roof with cross gables and a three-foot overhang. In 1900, a wooden enclosure was built at the northern bay to house the Center Wheeling Fish Market.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places for Ohio County on February 20, 1975. The property is also located in the Centre Market Square Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The Wolf Mountains, el. 4,842 ft, sometimes referred to by local people as the Rosebud Mountains, and also known to the Crow Indians as the Wolf Teeth Mountains, are a mountain range east of Lodge Grass, Montana in Big Horn County, Montana.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The mountain chain is in the southeastern portion of Big Horn County in Montana, and also is on the southeastern border of the Crow Indian Reservations.</p><br>
<p>The mountains lie on a north–south axis. The mountain range rises just south of the Reno Creek (aka Sundance Creek) and Davis Creek divide which flow respectively into the Little Bighorn River on the west and Rosebud Creek to the east, and extends south for about 35 miles to the Montana/Wyoming border area. The northern half of the range has creeks draining into Rosebud Creek on the east, and creeks draining into the Little Bighorn River to the west. The southern half of the range has creeks running into Pass Creek on the west (a tributary of the Little Bighorn River), and creeks running into the Tongue River on the east.</p><br>
<h2>Historical Associations</h2><br>
<p>In the Great Sioux War of 1876 on June 17, 1876, a force of Lakota Sioux and Northern Cheyenne warriors riding some 20 miles down the Wolf Mountains from Reno Creek (aka Sundance Creek) attacked General George Crook&#39;s army command at the Battle of the Rosebud at a site on the upper Rosebud Creek drainage in the southern half of the Wolf Mountains.</p><br>
<p>Also in the Great Sioux War of 1876 the Davis Creek/Reno Creek Divide just at the northern border of the Wolf Mountain Range was the route along which the large Lakota Sioux/Northern Cheyenne encampment moved from Rosebud Creek to the Little Bighorn River on about June 15, 1876 leaving a trail followed later by Colonel George A. Custer leading 7th Cavalry on June 24–25, 1876 just prior to the Battle of the Little Bighorn. On the early morning hours of June 25, 1876 Crow Scouts with the 7th Cavalry ascended to a high point (now known as the Crow&#39;s Nest) in the Wolf Mountains south of the Davis Creek/Reno Creek divide, and looking toward the Little Bighorn Valley saw indications of the large Lakota Sioux/Northern Cheyenne village which Custer and the 7th Cavalry then attacked later that same day, in the Battle of the Little Bighorn.</p><br>
<p>The Flint Creek Range, el. 10,168 ft, is a mountain range northeast of Philipsburg, Montana in Granite County, Montana. The highest point in the range is Mount Powell, at 10,168 ft. in elevation.</p><br>
<p>About 60,000 acres of the Flints are roadless. From Deer Lodge, Montana, there appears to be a level, barren ridge connecting Mount Powell and Deer Lodge Mountain, el. 9765 ft. However, if one is traveling eastbound on Interstate 90, in the stretch between Drummond and Garrison, Montana, looking up one can see that this ridge is actually a sheer cliff called "The Crater." The Crater is characterized as "iant granite ribs resembling the backbone of a dinosaur" by Cunningham. The Flints have the typical Rocky Mountain fauna, including a few mountain goats. The area is popular for hunting of deer, elk, and blue grouse, but otherwise appears to receive little recreational use. A six-person capacity cabin on Doney Lake is available for rental from the Deer Lodge Ranger District year-round. Dozens of alpine lakes in the range provide good fishing.</p><br>
<p>The Discovery Ski Area is located in the southwestern part of the Flints, near Georgetown Lake.</p><br>
<p>Lóngmén Shān, Mount Longmen or Longmen Mountain is a mountain in Shanxi province, China. In March–April 2010, the Wangjialing coal mine flood occurred here.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Lóngmén Shān is where the Yellow River abruptly leaves the vast, rugged expanse of the Loess Plateau that spreads out in the mountains north and west to enter a plain which connects both to the nearby Linfen Basin in the east and to the Guanzhong Plain further southwest. The mountain is thus a part of the Loess Plateaus southern edge. At the same time, it forms the south-western extreme point of the Lüliang Mountains, a range that runs parallel to the river as it flows south.</p><br>
<p>The spot at Lóngmén Shāns southwestern tip where the Yellow River breaks through is called Yǔménkǒu (, “Yus doorway, or gate”). Here, three bridges span the Yellow River. As there are no other nearby bridges either upstream or downstream, this is the only dry connection from Xiangning County and Hejin (in Shanxi province) across the river to Hancheng (in Shaanxi province), hence the name Xiang-Han Yellow River Bridge(s).</p><br>
<p>From Yǔménkǒu, Lóngmén Shān stretches in a straight northeasterly direction and then slightly bends eastward toward its opposite end, where a ravine breaks through to the plain, separating Lóngmén Shān from the rest of the Lüliang Mountains.</p><br>
<h2>Administration</h2><br>
<p>Administratively, the main part of Lóngmén Shān is in the county-level city of Hejin in the prefecture-level city of Yuncheng; only the mountain&#39;s northeastern end reaches into Xiangning County in the prefecture-level city of Linfen. All these are in the province of Shanxi, but the similarly named province of Shaanxi is just across the Yellow River that forms the boundary between these two provinces until much further upstream and downstream.</p><br>
<p>The Heimrich–Seufert House  is a historic house in The Dalles, Oregon, United States.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Built in 1927, the Tudor Revival style was home to two prominent figures in commerce and industry in The Dalles. John G. Heimrich (in residence 1927–1931) was a leader in the development of short line railroads in Oregon, whose career mirrored the decline of such railroads in the face of the internal combustion engine. Edward Seufert (in residence 1933–1966) managed a cannery that was founded in his familys interests in the Columbia River salmon fishery. The houses original designer Eugene C. Price was a self-trained but well-regarded architect of the Pacific Northwest during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. When Seufert acquired the house, he had it remodeled by the firm of Barrett & Logan, emphasizing Tudor Revival details. By the late 20th century, it was recognized as the finest Tudor house in the city.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 1, 1990.</p><br>
<p>The San Juan volcanic field is part of the San Juan Mountains in southwestern Colorado. It consists mainly of volcanic rocks that form the largest remnant of a major composite volcanic field that covered most of the southern Rocky Mountains in the Middle Tertiary geologic time. Within the region lie an abundance of caldera volcanoes, which comprise the San Juan Volcanic Fields. There are approximately 15 calderas known in the San Juan Volcanic Fields; however, it is possible that there are 2, or even 3 more in the region.</p><br>
<p>The region began with many composite volcanoes that became active between 35 and 40 million years ago were particularly eruptive in the time period around 35-30 million years ago. Around this time the activity changed to explosive ash-flow eruptions. Many of these volcanoes experienced caldera collapse, resulting in the 15-18 caldera volcanoes in the region today.</p><br>
<h2>Phases of Volcanism</h2><br>
<p>The San Juan volcanic field contains two phases of volcanism.</p><br>
<p>The earlier volcanism is from the Oligocene age of the Paleogene Period. It consists of largely intermediate composition lavas and breccias. A few ash flow tuffs also constitute this phase of volcanism.</p><br>
<p>The later volcanism is from the Miocene to Pliocene in ages of the Neogene Period. It is basaltic in composition. It is usually interpreted as a partial melt of the lower crust that was erupted onto the surface.</p><br>
<h2>Notable calderas</h2><br>
<p>La Garita Caldera, size: 35 x 75 km. The La Garita caldera was formed by one of the most explosive and energetic eruptions in earth&#39;s history. This eruption, which occurred about 27 million years ago, spewed more than 3,107 cubic miles (5,000 cubic km) of lava from its rim. To this day it is the only known eruption to reach a 9 on the VEI scale.</p><br>
<p>La Garita, North Caldera (Saguache) 37.95&deg; latitude, -106.8&deg; longitude</p><br>
<p>La Garita, Central Caldera 37.759316&deg; latitude, -106.938858&deg; longitude</p><br>
<p>La Garita, South Caldera 37.56&deg;-107 latitude, region:US_type:mountain&deg;format=dms longitude</p><br>
<p>The Carapelle is a river in the province of Foggia in the Apulia region of Italy. The source of the river is north of Anzano di Puglia near the border with the province of Avellino in the Appennino Napoletano Mountains. The river flows northeast near Monteleone di Puglia before curving eastward and flowing near Accadia and Sant&#39;Agata di Puglia before being joined by a right tributary, the Calaggio. The river then curves northeast and is joined by a left tributary, the Carapellotto, before flowing past Ordona and Carapelle. The river connects with the Saline di Margherita di Savoia salt marsh via two branches on the south bank of the river before emptying into the Gulf of Manfredonia in the Adriatic Sea northwest of Zapponeta.</p><br>
<p>Hosnies Spring formerly Hosnie’s Spring or Hosnies Springs) is a wetland on Christmas Island, an Australian external territory in the eastern Indian Ocean. It has been recognised as being of international importance by designation under the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Hosnies Spring was known earlier but the unique ecosystem was noted in late 1980s. It was incorporated into the Christmas Island National Park in 1989, and listed on 11 December 1990 as Ramsar site 512, one of two such sites on the island and the smallest in the world. In 2010 a proposal was made to increase the area of the Ramsar site to 202 ha. Justification for its Ramsar designation is because it:</p><br>
<p>* is an example of a type of unusual wetland unique to Christmas Island;</p><br>
<p>* supports a unique assemblage of flora locally restricted to the one location, and additionally several endemic and vulnerable species;</p><br>
<p>* is of special value for locally restricted species as well as several endemics.</p><br>
<p>Although some restricted phosphate mining occurs nearby, human activity has had little impact on the site.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The small, 3,300 m site comprises permanent freshwater streams and seepages emerging from the base of a cliff on an uplifted marine terrace about 24–37 m asl and 120 m inland from the seaward cliff.</p><br>
<h2>Flora and fauna</h2><br>
<p>The springs form a wetland supporting a unique 120,000-year-old stand of the mangroves Bruguiera gymnorhiza and Bruguiera sexangula.</p><br>
<p>The Petersham Hole was a sink hole caused by subsidence of a sewer which forced the total closure of the A307 road in Petersham in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames in 1979–80.</p><br>
<h2>Collapses</h2><br>
<p>The affected area comprised elements of the culverted Sudbrook stream, a minor tributary of the Thames, with a catchment extending south to Kingston, and foul sewer serving much of the Petersham area including four nearby schools. The culvert dated from 1920–22 and the foul sewer from 1890.</p><br>
<p>An initial collapse occurred in June 1978 in a section of outfall pipe in River Lane (51.446405&deg; latitude, -0.3036&deg; longitude), off the main A307. The lane is prone to tidal flooding and the outfall is protected by a flap valve. The damage proved to be sufficiently extensive to justify a temporary repair and letting a contract for permanent replacement of a long section.</p><br>
<p>In February 1979, a further collapse occurred 100 metres upstream to the south, in the busy A307 carriageway. On excavation, an area of cracked pipe was found, but, due to heavy rainfall and imminent spring tides the damaged section was set into rapid-hardening concrete and the hole refilled. Subsequent video inspection indicated the pipework to be in reasonable condition. However, a few weeks later, at the end of March, a further collapse occurred at the same site and a large cavity was found. It was clear that the whole section of sewer had to be replaced, and urgently.</p><br>
<h2>Impact</h2><br>
<p>The hole and subsequent repair work forced a total road closure of the main arterial route between Richmond and Kingston upon Thames. The impact was exacerbated by the narrowness of the road at and near the collapse site. Long diversions resulted via Twickenham to the west or Roehampton to the south-east causing additional congestion. Bus services 65 and 71 were forced to terminate either side of the hole and passengers and crew walk around the site to continue their journeys. To help relieve the transport pressure, exceptionally, nearby Richmond Park remained open to vehicular traffic overnight between Richmond, Ham, and Kingston gates. The park road was widened at Ham Cross near Ham Gate to accommodate temporary traffic lights to facilitate the additional traffic flow. This additional and unusual traffic resulted in the deaths of 84 deer in the park whilst the diversion was in operation.</p><br>
<h2>Reaction</h2><br>
<p>Residents in the immediate area naturally complained at the disruption caused by the repairs and local traders noted a significant loss of trade. The additional displaced traffic also caused complaints. However, despite the predictable negative reactions, others appreciated the tranquillity resulting from the lack of usual traffic. The hole gained significant local notoriety. A local newspaper correspondent reported a sighting, whilst on holiday in Spain, of somebody wearing a T-shirt bearing the slogan "I&#39;ve seen the Petersham Hole!".</p><br>
<p>The repairs and disruption lasted so long that a party was held around the hole to celebrate its anniversary on 31 March 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Repair</h2><br>
<p>The repair work involved not just the sewer but also connections into adjoining premises. The 21 in diameter culvert was replaced by 750 mm and 900 mm pipework. The 9 in and 12 in diameter foul sewer pipe was replaced with 300 mm pipe. The opportunity was also taken to lay new water mains.</p><br>
<p>The pipe repairs and replacement in the narrow section of road were completed by 25 May 1980 and, once the covering road works were completed, the road was re-opened on Friday 5 September.</p><br>
<h2>Costs</h2><br>
<p>Local residents directly affected near the site were granted a 20% reduction in their rates. The initial cost of the repair contract was anticipated to be £1,155,000. Total costs of the repairs were subsequently estimated at £2,235,000 and the indirect costs of traffic disruption a further £6,500,000. Wasted man hours were estimated to have cost £10,000,000.</p><br>
<h2>Legacy</h2><br>
<p>The Petersham Hole has been cited subsequently in the House of Commons and elsewhere as evidence of the damage caused to roads by heavy lorries.</p><br>
<p>St. Nicholas&#39; Catholic Church is a historic Roman Catholic church in Osgood, Ohio, United States. Built in the first years of the 20th century, it houses one of the newest parishes in a heavily Catholic region of far western Ohio, but it has been recognized as a historic site for its architecture.</p><br>
<h2>Parish history</h2><br>
<p>Although Osgood lies near such heavily Catholic communities such as Minster and Fort Loramie, its early settlers were predominantly Protestant. Accordingly, the formation of a Catholic parish in Osgood came far later than the formation of parishes in nearby villages; St. Augustines Church in Minster and St. Michaels Church in Fort Loramie were established by 1850, In its earliest years, the Mass was celebrated in common buildings; after worshipping for a time in a school, the parishioners purchased a barn for ecclesiastical purposes. For many years, the improvement of the parish&#39;s facilities was hindered by its size; the fewness of its members meant that money was frequently scarce. Nevertheless, parishioners took significant steps in late 1906; their first temporary church was completed in September, and in this year they purchased a tract of land on the eastern side of the village. Construction of a permanent brick church soon began, and the finished church was dedicated on September 6, 1908 after costing $22,000. By 1914, membership had increased to eighty-five families from just thirty-five families in 1906.</p><br>
<h2>Structure</h2><br>
<p>The church rests upon a stone foundation with a basement. Brick walls, trimmed with stone, are laid in a stretcher bond, and the building is covered by an asphalt roof. Its plan is primarily that of a rectangle, but gables on each side have the effect of forming a slight transept.</p><br>
<p>The churchs dominant feature is its octagonal steeple, located atop a tower at the entrance. Equipped with a belfry and ornamented with corbelling, the tower is topped with a golden cross. Worshippers enter the church through a vestibule and proceed through the base of the tower; until the addition with the vestibule was built in 1970, the churchs exterior doors were a part of the tower.</p><br>
<h2>Rectory</h2><br>
<p>Parishioners erected a brick rectory for their pastor in 1914. Supported by a foundation with a basement and topped with an asphalt hip roof, the two-story house lies adjacent to the churchs eastern side. Among its features are a porch that faces the church on the houses western side and a dormer that pierces the house&#39;s southern roof. The house is a square, three bays wide on each of its sides.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>In 1977, an architectural survey ranked St. Nicholas Church in good condition, both inside and out; it was noted that there were no significant threats to the buildings continued existence. Two years later, the church and its rectory were added together to the National Register of Historic Places for their architectural significance. Twenty-six other church buildings in the Land of the Cross-Tipped Churches were listed on the National Register at the same time; two others in Darke County, St. Louis&#39; Church in North Star and Holy Family Church in Frenchtown, were among these churches.</p><br>
<p>Today, St. Nicholas remains an active parish of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. It is clustered with St. Louis parish in North Star and St. Remys Catholic Church in Russia; the entire cluster is a part of the Sidney Deanery.</p><br>
<p>The Garnet Range, highest point Old Baldy Mountain, elevation 7,511 ft, is a mountain range northeast of Drummond, Montana in Powell County, Montana.</p><br>
<p>A popular historic site, Garnet Ghost Town, is in the Garnet Range. Situated on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land, the ghost town is the remnant of a mining settlement that was inhabited from the late 1800s to the 1930s. The town&#39;s population reached several thousand during its peak. A visitor center and self-guided tours are available.</p><br>
<p>Although heavily forested, no portion of the Garnet Range is part of the National Forest system. The BLM owns much of the range, including the 11,580-acre Wales Creek Wilderness Study Area. The Wales Creek WSA is the last major unroaded drainage in the western Garnets, and features dense forests of lodgepole pine, spruce, douglas fir, larch, aspen, and subalpine fir. Wales Creek WSA also hosts a thriving moose herd, goshawk nesting sites, a native cutthroat trout fishery, and four hot springs used in the past by miners and now by skiers and hunters.</p><br>
<p>Another BLM Wilderness Study Area is in the eastern Garnets: the 11,380-acre Hoodoo Mountain WSA. This WSA is separated from unprotected BLM land in the Gallagher Creek drainage by a dirt road. Petrified wood is found along streams in the Gallagher Creek area.</p><br>
<p>On the southern slope of the Garnets near the town of Drummond, the BLM&#39;s Rattler Gulch Area of Critical Environmental Concern protects 20 acres of exposed Madison Group limestone cliffs. Parking is provided, as Rattler Gulch is a popular rock-climbing area.</p><br>
<p>Grizzly bears have recently been confirmed inhabiting the Garnets.</p><br>
<p>Mount William  is a mountain of the Grampians Mountain Range, located within the Grampians National Park, in the Australian state of Victoria. The mountain is situated approximately 250 km west-north-west of Melbourne on the eastern edge of the national park, approximately 22 km drive from Halls Gap.</p><br>
<h2>Features and location</h2><br>
<p>Mount William is the highest point within the Grampians National Park. Sir Thomas Mitchell reached the summit with a group of explorers in 1836. The first settler in the area was Horatio Wills, who established a sheep run at Mount William in 1840, and named nearby Mount Ararat, after which the town is named. His son, cricketer and Australian rules football pioneer Tom Wills, grew up as a lone white child among the Djab wurrung Aboriginal tribes of Mount William.</p><br>
<p>Three transmission towers are located at the summit of Mount William including an amateur radio repeater. A sealed service road continues to the summit, but is not accessible by vehicle to the general public.</p><br>
<p>Visitors to the mountain can drive to a carpark located approximately 920 m up the mountain, before proceeding on foot for 1.8 km to the summit. It will take a person of moderate fitness approximately 45 mins to walk. No permit is required to climb the mountain.</p><br>
<p>The Gravelly Range, highest peak Black Butte, el. 10,542 ft, is a mountain range southwest of Cameron, Montana in Madison County, Montana.</p><br>
<p>About 310,000 acres total are roadless, separated by roads into nine units, the largest of which is 66,000 acres in size. Nearly all the range is part of the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest. In the northern part of the range is the Bureau of Land Management&#39;s Axolotl Lakes Wilderness Study Area, 7,804 acres in size, which is part of a larger roadless area of 47,000 acres. The Axolotl Lakes WSA is home to a unique form of indigenous tiger salamander. This part of the Gravellies is characterized by open foothills rising to mixed coniferous forest interspersed with meadows. Some of the highest-elevation pronghorn habitat in Montana is found here.</p><br>
<p>On the eastern slope of the Gravellies, Cave Mountain is home to unique undisturbed grasslands and caves that attract spelunkers. The most rugged part of the range is a 52,870-acre roadless area centered on 10,281&#39; Big Horn Mountain, with deep canyons, cliffs, steep benches, and undulating basins.</p><br>
<p>The largest roadless area in the Gravellies features rolling basins cut by rocky canyons, old Indian campsites along the Gravelly Divide, and westslope cutthroat trout in the remote canyons of the Elk River.</p><br>
<p>The southeastern part of the range, near the Continental Divide, features a chain of lakes that provide homes to nesting trumpeter swans and bald eagles. Grizzly bears have recently been confirmed to be living in the Gravellies.</p><br>
<p>The F. H. Miller House is a historic building located in the central part of Davenport, Iowa, United States. The house served as the official residence for two of Davenport&#39;s Catholic bishops and as a bed and breakfast. The building houses the for Saint Ambrose University, and is called Alumni House. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built by John Dahms in 1871. He lost his fortune and was forced to sell the house in a sheriff&#39;s sale in 1880 to Frank H. Miller, a wholesale grocer. In 1907 the house was purchased by the Catholic Diocese of Davenport for $26,500 and it became the residence and headquarters for the diocese’s bishop, James J. Davis. Previous bishops had resided at the Antoine LeClaire House in Davenport. Bishop Davis moved into the Miller House on June 24, and a desk was placed in the corner of the living room for the Rev. Joseph P. Stahl, who served as both chancellor and secretary to the bishop. He continued to live in the residence until his death in 1926. His successor, Henry P. Rohlman lived in the house until 1933 when he moved to the Selma Schricker House on Clay Street. The Miller House became the novitiate for the Sisters of St. Francis of Clinton, Iowa. After the sisters moved out in 1941 it was bought by Tom Hendricksen and the house was divided into six apartments to house workers at the Rock Island Arsenal. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>The house was bought from Hendricksen by Herb Tyler in 1989 and was completely renovated and turned into a bed and breakfast called the Bishop’s House Inn, which was named after the two bishops who had made it their home. Saint Ambrose University bought the bed and breakfast in 1995 and operated it until May 2008. At that time the building was repurposed to hold private and public functions on the ground floor, and office space on the upper floors.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>W.L. Carroll was the architect for the residence that was built in the Italianate style by John Drew. The house is constructed of red brick and features stone trim and a porch that wraps around the ground floor of the building. At one time the exterior was stuccoed and painted. The three-story structure has elaborate bracketed cornices, and was originally topped with a belvedere. The house has five bays across the front with a door in the center bay. The Gambrel roof dormers are a unique feature of this house.</p><br>
<p>The Henrys Lake Mountains, highest point Sheep Point, el. 10,609 ft,  are a small mountain range northwest of West Yellowstone, Montana in Madison County, Montana. These mountains are also referred to as the Lionhead Mountains, and straddle the Continental Divide along the Idaho-Montana border. On the northwest corner of these mountains is Quake Lake, created when the 1959 Hebgen Lake earthquake caused a massive landslide and dammed the Madison River. Nine subalpine lakes sit in high cirques in the higher reaches, with several peaks topping 10,000&#39;. Coffin Lake is the largest and most popular, on the Montana side. About 32,000 acres are roadless in the Montana portion, with an unknown amount in Idaho. Dense forests, pristine streams, rolling tundra, and grassy parks provide year-round habitat for grizzly bears, elk, and bighorn sheep. Rocks and soils are inherently unstable, a factor in the landslide that caused much loss of life in 1959. The instability exists because the range is basically limestone blocks sitting on top of shale and Yellowstone volcanic rocks.</p><br>
<p>The H.H. Champlin House is a two-and-one half-story sandstone building designed in the Tudor Revival style. The house, completed in 1939, is located at 612 S. Tyler in Enid, Oklahoma. It is located within the Kisner Heights addition to the city of Enid, developed from farmland formerly owned by R.H. Kisner. Architects Roy Shaw and Norris Wheeler designed the house. The D.C. Bass Company constructed the main house with walls of Briar Hill sandstone and Vermont slate roofing and terrace. A variety of windows were custom made for the house by Kawneer Company of Niles, Michigan. Jacoby Art Glass Company of St. Louis, Missouri created art glass insets for the Tudor arch windows, featuring scenes from Oklahoma history. The property also includes a carport and greenhouse. The property is currently owned by H.H. Champlin&#39;s great-grandson, Joel Champlin.</p><br>
<h2>H.H. Champlin</h2><br>
<p>Herbert Hiram Champlin was born to Charles Augustus Champlin and Alice Pickard on February 18, 1868 in Winnebago County, Illinois. He was the oldest of six sons, and one daughter who died at the age of three years. C.A. Champlin served in the Union Army in the Civil War, along with his two brothers Bradford and Joel, who died in the war. H.H. Champlin’s family moved to McPherson County, Kansas, where his father soon died. H.H. Champlin graduated from McPherson High School, and then attended Friends University and Hill’s Business College. Champlin married Ary Delight Noble on November 14, 1895. They had four children. Herbert H. Champlin died on April 30, 1944.</p><br>
<h2>First National Bank of Enid</h2><br>
<p>Champlin participated in the land run of 1893, investing in the Enid State Guaranty Bank. Champlin became ill and returned to Kansas. Upon recovery returned to operate a lumber yard with operations in Enid, Hobart, Kingfisher and Lawton. Charley and Sherman Goltry had taken control of the Bank during Champlin’s absence, and Champlin repurchased the bank from them. During the wave of bank closings in March 1933, Governor William H. Murray ordered all banks in the State of Oklahoma to close. Champlin refused and continued to operate the bank which was financially sound. In response, the governor called out the National Guard. Captain Stephen J. England led eighteen militia men into town to close the bank, earning the First National Bank of Enid the distinction of the only bank ever to be closed by the military in American history. Although it survived the depression, the bank was among several banks in Enid that closed in the 1980s as a result of a bad economy.</p><br>
<h2>Champlin Oil Company</h2><br>
<p>In 1916, oil was discovered at Garber Field. Champlin bought the mineral rights from George Beggs, a farmer who resided in the area. Ary Champlin had encouraged him to do so. He purchased a small refinery from Victor Bolene, and built a pipeline between it and Garber Field. In 1920, he purchased the Goodwell Oil Company which consisted of several bulk plants and service stations. During his lifetime, the Champlin Oil Company expanded to operate service stations and wholesale outlets in twenty midwestern states and drilling and production operations in Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado, and New Mexico. By Mr. Champlin’s death in 1944, the company employed over 800 people in Enid.</p><br>
<p>Following nine years of continued family ownership, the company went public in 1953.</p><br>
<p>It had several owners:</p><br>
<p>1954: Purchased by the Chicago Corporation for $55,000,000. This parent company changed its name to Champlin Refining Company in 1956.</p><br>
<p>1964: The Celanese Company purchased the company.</p><br>
<p>1970: The company was sold to Union Pacific Corporation and was kept as a wholly owned subsidiary.</p><br>
<p>1984: The Retail business of Champlin was purchased by American Petrofina, after Champlin closed the refinery.</p><br>
<p>around 1986, Union Pacific Corporation and Champlin Petroleum Company sold the Corpus Christi Refinery. Champlin trade name was part of the deal. Champlin&#39;s name was changed to Union Pacific Resources Company (UPRC).</p><br>
<p>During late 1990&#39;s, Union Pacific Corporation spun off the Union Pacific Resources Company.</p><br>
<p>2000: Anadarko Petroleum Corporation and Union Pacific Resources merged. The Anadarko name survived going forward.</p><br>
<p>The Greenville Carnegie Library is a historic library on the edge of downtown Greenville, Ohio, United States. A Carnegie library built for the community in the early 20th century, the library and an adjacent school building have been designated a historic site because of their landmark architecture.</p><br>
<h2>Early history</h2><br>
<p>Soon after F. Gillum Cromer became the superintendent of the Greenville city school system in 1888, he began to plan for the creation of a library for the citys students. Financing for the library was largely dependent on the children of the city, who performed entertainments on Washingtons Birthday; the monies earned were used to pay for the books and for the upkeep of the library system. As the library increased in size, it was decided to expand it and to open it to members of the public. From 1892 to 1901, the library was housed in the basement of a store on Fifth Street.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>In the spring of 1901, the citys board of education petitioned Andrew Carnegie to donate money for the expansion of the library. In response, Carnegie offered $15,000 on the condition that the city pledge $1,500 annually for its support. After examining the library system in Pittsburgh and consulting its head librarian, the board requested $25,000 and pledged $2,500 annually; Carnegie accepted this offer. After the board accepted bids on plans, the members discovered that the desired structure would cost nearly $30,000 and ordered a revision of the plans; however, when this news reached prominent local businessman Henry St. Clair, he requested that the revision be cancelled and pledged sufficient funds for the building as originally planned. St. Clairs wish having been granted, the library&#39;s cornerstone was laid on October 30, 1901, and construction was completed on March 19, 1903; the structure had cost $31,177.50.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Carnegie Library is a rectangular building approximately 90 ft long, 70 ft wide, and two stories tall. Brick walls, trimmed with oolite, rest on a foundation of Bedford limestone, and the structure is topped with a roof of red tiles. The floors are decorated with multiple frescoes and mosaics, and many stained glass windows illuminate the interior. Patrons are served with marble-finished restrooms on both floors. At the time of construction, the library was ornamented with statues and elaborate wooden panelling.</p><br>
<h2>Memorial Hall</h2><br>
<p>Following Henrys St. Clairs death on October 7, 1908, the city benefited greatly from his will — $100,000 was to be given to the city&#39;s board of education for the erection and maintenance of an assembly hall for the use of the city schools. Board members soon voted to build this hall adjacent to the Carnegie library; as the 1868 high school already occupied this location, the entire building was moved a short distance to the south in the summer of 1909. Excavation for the new assembly hall commenced in the spring of 1910, and the cornerstone was laid on June 30. Large crowds attended the laying ceremony; an orator from the Grand Lodge of Ohio was the primary speaker, and members of the leading families of Darke County provided patriotic music.</p><br>
<p>After a long period of construction, the building was dedicated on May 3, 1912 and given the name of "Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall." While the construction of the hall and the removal of the high school had cost $135,000, the board of education was not left impoverished; St. Clairs widow compensated the board for the extra expenses. The finished structure, built of brick and stone in a manner similar to the library, featured a large auditorium and a range of classrooms for the citys students. Soon after construction was completed, the building was opened to the community for events such as political gatherings, religious conventions, and Chautauquas.</p><br>
<h2>Recognition</h2><br>
<p>In 1980, the library and memorial hall were listed on the National Register of Historic Places for their architectural significance. Approximately 4 acre of land around the buildings were included in the area designated as historic; much of which has been part of a park created during the process of moving the city high school.</p><br>
<p>The River Corve is a minor river in Shropshire, England. It is a tributary of the River Teme which it joins in the town of Ludlow, and which joins the River Severn at Powick near Worcester. The valley it flows through is known as the Corvedale , a term used as a general name for the area, and a name used for example by the primary school in Diddlebury. It is sometimes  spelled "Corf", which is its pronunciation.</p><br>
<p>It flows near Corfton (which it gives its name to), then by Culmington, then through Stanton Lacy and then through the northwest outskirts of Ludlow before joining the Teme in an area of meadows just outside the town. It also gave its name to Corfham Castle, near Peaton. Corfham was the caput (the centre of medieval administration) for two Saxon hundreds that encompassed the Corve Dale — Patton and Culvestan. They were merged into a single hundred (Munslow) in the reign of Henry I, however Culvestan continued to be a name used to describe the lower Corve valley for at least a century afterwards.</p><br>
<p>In 2006 as a result of pollution by slurry from a livestock farm in Brockton near Stanton Long, fish were found dead in the river.</p><br>
<p>During heavy flooding in 2007 when the river rose 1.6 m in three hours, a house collapsed into the river and the Burway Bridge collapsed severing the connection of the B4361 Coronation Avenue, a major access route, with the town centre of Ludlow. A new, modern bridge designed by the Shrewsbury office of the consultants Mouchel on behalf of Shropshire County Council, and built by McPhillips (Wellington) Ltd, was completed in 2008. A temporary Bailey bridge had been erected to reduce disruption in traffic flow during the construction.</p><br>
<h2>Electoral wards</h2><br>
<p>Corvedale is an electoral division for electing one member to Shropshire Council. The population of this ward at the 2011 Census was 3,783. It covers a large rural area, consisting of 13 civil parishes, and encompassing more than that of the familiar Corvedale area.</p><br>
<p>Corve is a parish ward for electing two members to Ludlow Town Council, covering the northwest part of the town.</p><br>
<p>The Horseshoe Hills, el. 6,673 ft, are a roughly crescent-shaped range of hills north of Manhattan, Montana in Gallatin County, Montana. They lie in the area between the southern Big Belt Mountains and the northern Bridger Range. The hills are bounded on the north by Sixteen Mile Creek , the first major tributary of the Missouri River. As they are in the rain shadow of the Boulder, Elkhorn, and Bull Mountains to the west, the Horseshoe Hills are notably dry, receiving 10 - 12 inches of precipitation annually. This is especially true on the southern and southeastern flanks, which are also in the rain shadow of the hills themselves. In the driest areas, Missouri foxtail cacti, plains prickly pear cacti, and yucca abound, as well as prairie rattlesnakes. Much of the hills are private property, but there is also some State, BLM, and National Forest land.</p><br>
<p>The John Long Mountains, el. 7,923 ft, is a small mountain range northwest of Philipsburg, Montana in Granite County, Montana. The Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest and Lolo National Forest manage these mountains. A sizable roadless area of about 65,000 acres existed, as of 1990, in the John Long Mountains, centered on Silver King Mountain in the southern part of the range. Its unknown whether and to what extent this areas size has been reduced by logging. Lightly used trails traverse whitebark pine forests on the higher ridges, and forests of lodgepole pine, Douglas-fir, and heavy downfall on the eastern slopes. The western slopes have groves of douglas-fir amidst extensive grassy parks. Silver King Mountain is 7,581&#39;.</p><br>
<p>The Babcock Mountain Bighorn Sheep Viewing Area, on the Rock Creek Road along the western edge of the John Longs, is an 8,000-acre area on the Lolo National Forest where bighorn sheep are commonly seen. Parking and hiking trails are provided.</p><br>
<p>There is some dispute as to whether the Quigg Peak roadless area, described in the Sapphire Mountains article, is really part of the John Long Mountains. If the Quigg Peak area is truly part of the John Long Mountains, then the highest point in the range would be Butte Cabin Ridge, el. 8,468&#39;.</p><br>
<p>Battery 223 is located in Lower Township, Cape May County, New Jersey, United States. The harbor defense battery was completed in 1943. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 25, 2008.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the years before the entry of the USA into World War II, the belief that America&#39;s shore defenses were inadequate resulted in the 1940 Modernization of the Coastal Defense program. Battery 223 was part of the effort to address the advances of offensive and defensive technology in the 1930s. Standardized and mass-produced fortifications were built on both the east and west coasts.</p><br>
<p>Battery 223 was one of three 200-series fortifications built for Fort Miles, headquartered in Cape Henlopen, Delaware. Designed to host a 6-inch battery and survive a direct hit from battleships and aircraft, the structure was built with six-foot thick reinforced concrete walls and a thick blast proof roof; the entire building was covered with earth. The 6-inch guns had a nine-mile range.</p><br>
<p>In addition to the three 200-series batteries, Fort Miles also had a 16-inch and a 12-inch battery, both located at Cape Henlopen. The 16-inch guns had a range of 26 miles. In all, assets of Fort Miles extended along 200 miles of shoreline, including a network of 20 fire control towers.</p><br>
<p>Battery 223&#39;s guns were never fired at an enemy, though there were drills and live fire tests. As the war turned in favor of the Allies, lessening the need for coastal defense, and continuing advances in warfare technology rendered fixed coastal defenses obsolete, the Modernization of the Coastal Defense program was never completed. Battery 223 was decommissioned in 1944; all Army seacoast defense guns had been scrapped by 1948. By 1950, the Army had dismantled all of the fixed gun harbor defenses; the buildings were used for other military purposes or were declared surplus.</p><br>
<p>Battery 223 was used for radio communications by the Navy at some point after 1958, a concrete pad was poured on the top the building to support a Quonset hut. Battery 223 became part of the Cape May Point State Park in 1962. Today the battery is no longer covered and is in full view.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The exterior of the building is a series of windowless blocks of formed concrete. It is roughly T-shaped, the long portion runs east-west parallel to the beach, the stem of the T extends to the north. It contains 20 rooms, including a plotting room, switchboard room, latrine, several shell storage rooms, a chemical warfare service room, and an airlock. The airlock provided protection against chemical attack. Wood pilings support the building; though once buried in sand, they are now exposed by beach erosion.</p><br>
<p>Power was provided by three diesel generators with a gallery of exhaust pipes and mufflers, evaporative water coolers were in a separate room. The switchboard room connected the plotting room to the external fire control towers. The plotting room received coordinates from two towers, which were then used to triangulate the target and produce gun aiming directions.</p><br>
<p>Fishing Creek Schoolhouse,  is a historic school located in the Villas section of Lower Township, Cape May County, New Jersey, United States. The schoolhouse was built in 1888 and added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 6, 1980.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first school in the Fishing Creek area was built in the early 1800s on Fulling Mill Road, about a mile north of the current site. It was a log cabin that became so rundown that a local paper described it as "a disgrace to the neighborhood". It was used as a community center, supporting such activities as the Zobo Band, the Church Junior League, and neighborhood Saturday evening meetings. These activities continued after the new schoolhouse was built in 1888.</p><br>
<p>The new school was built on land donated by the Matthews family, with the basic structural form being adapted from plans for a church. Many of the builders of the one-room schoolhouse were veterans of the Civil War. The Fishing Creek School served as the only school in the area until the advent of motorized school buses. In 1921 some students were sent to the Cold Spring Academy by bus. After 1921 the school served about 40 students in grades 1-4 until it closed, about 1925. Students would walk from as far as two miles away to attend.</p><br>
<p>In the 1920s, there were as many as eight one-room schoolhouses in the lower Cape May region, but with the introduction of school buses, the one-room schoolhouses became obsolete, and schools were consolidate into buildings with multiple classrooms.</p><br>
<p>In 1926, the Fishing Creek School was sold at public auction and subsequently purchased by the Leckey family as a summer home. The Leckey family sought to preserve the school, and it was listed on the National and State Historic Registers in 1980.</p><br>
<p>In 1998, members of the community began efforts to save the Fishing Creek School, and in 2002, the school, along with 1.3 acres, was purchased by the State Green Acres Program, and subsequently leased to Lower Township for 20 years. It is now being developed into a community center for recreational and educational uses.</p><br>
<p>Mayor Mike Beck of Lower Township organized a non-profit organization, The Friends of the Fishing Creek School, to lead the effort to restore and maintain the site for the benefit of the community. In 2010 two old roofs were removed and a new cedar shake roof was installed, to match the original roof.</p><br>
<p>The Fishing Creek School is the only remaining one-room schoolhouse in Lower Township, New Jersey.</p><br>
<p>The Caribbean Motel is an historic motel located in Wildwood Crest, Cape May County, New Jersey, United States, in an area now known as the Wildwoods Shore Resort Historic District. The motel was built in 1957 in the Doo-Wop style by Lou Morey, whose family built many of the Wildwoods&#39; original Doo Wop motels, for original owners Dominic and Julie Rossi. It was owned by the Rossi family until the early 1990s, and was the first motel to use the full-size plastic palm trees that now adorn most of the Doo Wop motels in the area.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Opened in 1957, the Caribbean Motel was among the wildest designs in the post-World War II era, incorporating such elements as a crescent-shaped pool, a "levitating ramp", and canted glass walls. At the time it was proposed, no neon sign as big as the Caribbean Motel&#39;s had ever been installed in Wildwood Crest; however, after much deliberation, the town decided to allow it.</p><br>
<p>The motel was saved from demolition in 2004, when it was purchased by George Miller and Caroline Emigh. After reading the book, How to Doo Wop: the Wildwoods-by-the-Sea Handbook of Design Guidelines published by the Doo Wop Preservation League, they were so impressed by the suggested designs of Philadelphia architect Anthony Bracali that they hired him to oversee restoration of the motel. The interior design was by Darleen Lev, a designer from New York City who was staying at the motel around the time that Miller and Emigh bought the property. An admirer of the Technicolor film process, Levs designs are modeled on movie sets of the 1950s, as well as reflecting the motels Caribbean motif. The Caribbean Motel was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 24, 2005.</p><br>
<p>Banwell Castle is a Victorian Gothic Revival mansion in Banwell, Somerset, England. It is a Grade II* listed building. The castle buildings, remains a family Home B&B available and sometimes used a wedding venue, pre booked dinner parties & Cream Tea&#39;s are set in 25 acre of grounds.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The land on which the house is built was owned by the Bishop of Bath and Wells. It was sold to John and Joan Landown in 1753. It was passed down to the Sympson family; John Dyer Sympson, a solicitor from London built the castle as his home. It was completed in 1847 for Joseph Dyer Sympson. Built in the Gothic Revival style made popular by Augustus Pugin. having passed to Sir William Baker, Other owners and tenants have been 1854 to 1874 Henry & Elizabeth Pigou then Sir William & lady France&#39;s Baker. Mr & Mrs Hope made it their home, she died in 1916 and the Estate was then sold to Richard Calvert who in 1919 had the Bristol Architect Sir George Oatley do remodelling work on the property.</p><br>
<p>In World War II it was taken over by the Royal Air Force and used as the headquarters for No. 955 Squadron, which was a barrage balloon unit and part of Balloon Command. The gatehouse was used by the local Air Raid Precautions. In 1963 the Estate was sold to Simon and Phillipa Wills (of W.D. & H.O. Wills). Until 1976 the next owners were Charles Skilton, a book and postcard publisher, and Jean Desebrock from South Africa. In 1988 William H & Hugh A Parsons purchased part of the castle and later purchased the whole of the estate. It remains a family home but is used for weddings, pre booked dinner Parties, wakes and as a bed and breakfast.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The house has five windows in the three-storey main block between small circular turrets with other octagonal and hexagonal towers. In front of the house is a terrace with a trefoil pierced parapet with statutes of lions rampant with swords on embattled octagonal gate piers which flank six steps.</p><br>
<p>The coachhouse has a tall circular turret and contained a granary on the first floor. The gatehouse consists of a Chamfered double arch, with a parapet between circular embattled towers, with cast iron gates with heraldic motifs. The terrace adjoining the house leads to a decorative dairy. The west garden walls include another tower.</p><br>
<p>The Little Snowy Mountains are a small mountain range in central Montana about 25 mi southeast of Lewistown. The range lies mostly in Fergus County, but the southern part of the range extends into Golden Valley and Musselshell counties.</p><br>
<p>The range is a lower continuation of the Big Snowy Mountains which lie immediately to the west. The small Pike Creek Hills are 12 mi to the east.</p><br>
<p>The mountain pass between the Big and Little Snowies is at 6,018 ft where Red Hill Road crosses the range. The pass elevation is considerably lower than the peaks of the Big Snowy range, but only about 200 ft lower than the highest of the Little Snowy Range which are just northeast of the pass. Bold Butte, a named highpoint near the center of the range, has an elevation of 5,624 ft.</p><br>
<p>The South Fork Flatwillow Creek runs from the north side of the pass near Red Hill and east along the north side of the range. Willow Creek and various tributaries drain most of the range to the south and flows into the Musselshell River on to the southeast.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>Geologically the Little Snowy Mountains are a continuation of the Big Snowy Anticlinorium structure to the west and is entirely underlain by sedimentary rock. The area adjacent to the Big Snowy Mountains is underlain by Mississippian limestone and mudstone and the main part of the range is underlain by the Pennsylvanian Alaska Bench Formation limestone with Jurassic Piper Formation (mudstone, limestone and gypsum) along the north. The south flank is underlain by often steeply south dipping Jurassic through Cretaceous formations. An outcrop of Lower Cretaceous Kootenay Formation occurs along an anticline on Sahara Hill. Several thin, generally steeply dipping Upper Cretaceous formations occur along the southern margin of the range.</p><br>
<p>The Coral Sea Reserves Ramsar Site comprises the 17,292 km of oceanic island and reef habitats within the former Coringa-Herald National Nature Reserve and the former Lihou Reef National Nature Reserve in the Australian Coral Sea Islands Territory.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The existence of the islands and cays within the two reserves has been known to navigators since the early nineteenth century. Lihou Reef was named after Captain John Lihou of HMS Zenobia, who discovered the reef and its cays in 1823. The Coringa Islets were named after the cargo ship Coringa Packet, which foundered off Chilcott Islet in 1845. The Herald Cays were named after HMS Herald, which conducted hydrographic surveys in the Coral Sea, under the captaincy of Henry Mangles Denham, from 1849 to 1861.</p><br>
<p>During the 1960s many of the islands and reefs in the Territory were visited by scientific survey parties. Following an assessment of the conservation status of the islands and reefs, and recommendations for the total protection of a sample of islands in the Coral Sea, eventually the two reserves were proclaimed on 16 August 1982. Since then many further surveys have been conducted, including a multi-disciplinary scientific expedition by the Royal Geographic Society of Queensland which visited the Herald Cays and their surrounding reef in 1997.</p><br>
<p>The site was designated as a wetland of international importance under the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands. It was listed on 21 October 2002 as Ramsar Site 1222.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The site is centred on the Coral Sea Plateau, about 440 km east of Cairns, Queensland, and east of the Great Barrier Reef, from which it is separated by an area of deep water known as the Queensland Trough. Lihou Reef NNR lies to the south-east of the Coringa-Herald NNR and is separated from it by about 100 km of open sea.</p><br>
<p>The key conservation values of the site, as listed in the reserves’ management plan are the:</p><br>
<p>near pristine marine ecosystems that have been protected from human-induced impacts, including marine pollution, by their isolation from the mainland</p><br>
<p>regionally representative examples of rich, shelf-edge oceanic reef</p><br>
<p>internationally significant populations of breeding seabirds, including migratory species listed under international agreements</p><br>
<p>undisturbed and important habitat for nesting green turtles, Chelonia mydas</p><br>
<p>Pisonia grandis forest ecosystem, which is relatively uncommon within Australia and has been subject to widespread destruction and disturbance throughout most of its Indo-Pacific distribution</p><br>
<p>diversity and abundance of marine sponges, which in places form spectacular sponge gardens; and</p><br>
<p>fish and decapod crustacean fauna that is distinct from that of the Great Barrier Reef.</p><br>
<h2>Flora and fauna</h2><br>
<p>Several of the site’s 24 islets provide undisturbed sandy beach habitat for nesting green turtles, as well as forest and shrubland supporting breeding populations of terns and other seabirds. Its coral reefs support a distinct community of marine benthic plants and animals, a diverse decapod crustacean and hydroid fauna, and feeding habitat for migratory shorebirds and seabirds. Seaweed communities are also important. There are no known native terrestrial mammals within the Reserves; introduced black rats were present on South West Coringa Islet for many years, but were eliminated by 1991 after an eradication program.</p><br>
<h3>Birds</h3><br>
<p>The only breeding landbirds in the site are the purple swamphen and buff-banded rail. Among the 14 species of seabird recorded as breeding in the site are the lesser frigatebird, great frigatebird, red-footed booby, brown booby, masked booby, black noddy and red-tailed tropicbird.</p><br>
<h2>Access and usage</h2><br>
<p>The large number of shipwrecks within the area give it marine archaeological significance. There is no resident human population; the site is used principally for nature conservation and scientific research. The reserves are internationally renowned for diving, snorkeling and bird watching. Access by commercial tour groups is regulated and limited, though there is some visitation by private yachts.</p><br>
<p>Coringa-Herald National Nature Reserve is a former nature reserve in Australia’s Coral Sea Islands Territory that was incorporated into the new Coral Sea Commonwealth Marine Reserve in December 2012. The former nature reserve together with the Lihou Reef National Nature Reserve is part of the Coral Sea Reserves Ramsar Site. Its extent is also within the Coringa-Herald Reefs Important Bird Area.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The reserve lies to the east of the Great Barrier Reef and covers an area of 8,860 km, most of which is open water. It contains three pairs of islets and cays, the Herald Cays, comprising North East and South West Cays; the Coringa Islets, comprising Chilcott and South West Islets; and the Magdelaine Cays, comprising South East Cay and North West Islet. The pairs rise steeply from separate platform reef systems, each representing a distinct stage in reef formation, varying in size from 16 to 37 ha, and making a total land area of 124 ha. Each cay has a fringing reef that is fully exposed to the influences of ocean currents and swells.</p><br>
<p>The islets are formed of coral sand, rocks and coral rubble and rise no more than about five metres above sea-level. South-East Magdelaine Cay is the largest; parts of it, as well as North-East Herald Cay, have thick forests of Pisonia grandis and Cordia subcordata trees. Apart from North-West Magdelaine Islet which lacks vegetation, grasses and Heliotropium foertherianum  shrubs grow on the other islets.</p><br>
<p>The 124 ha land area of the cays has been recognised by BirdLife International as the Coringa-Herald Reefs IBA because of its importance as a breeding site for seabirds. It supports over 1% of the world populations of wedge-tailed shearwaters, red-footed boobies, lesser frigatebirds, red-tailed tropicbirds and black noddies.</p><br>
<p>Wars of America is a "colossal" bronze sculpture by Gutzon Borglum containing "forty-two humans and two horses", located in Military Park, Newark, Essex County, New Jersey, United States. The sculpture sets on a base of granite from Stone Mountain.</p><br>
<p>The sculpture was erected in 1926, eight years after World War I ended, but its intent was broadened to honor all of America&#39;s war dead. In describing it, Borglum said "The design represents a great spearhead. Upon the green field of this spearhead we have placed a Tudor sword, the hilt of which represents the American nation at a crisis, answering the call to arms."</p><br>
<p>The work was funded by a $100,000 bequest by Newark businessman Amos Hoagland Van Horn, who also funded Borglums Seated Lincoln, also located in Newark.</p><br>
<p>The sculpture was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 28, 1994.</p><br>
<p>Bridgeforth High School in Pulaski, Tennessee, was Giles County, Tennessee, first high school for African Americans. It opened in 1937. It was named for J. T. Bridgeforth, who was one of the earliest African-American educators in the county.</p><br>
<p>The school&#39;s first building, also known as Bridgeforth School or the Greater Richland Creek Missionary Baptist General Association, is a colonial revival style building completed in 1936, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was designed by architects McKissack and McKissack. The building housed the high school until 1958, when it was replaced by a larger school building. The original Bridgeforth High School building was listed on the National Register in 2006. It is now used by a local religious organization.</p><br>
<p>Bridgeforth High School relocated to its new building in 1959 and remained there until 1965, when Giles County integrated its public school system. After integration, the building became the home of Pulaski Junior High School, which enrolled grades 7 to 9. In 1978, the junior high school was converted to a middle school for grades 5 through 8 and was renamed Bridgeforth Middle School.</p><br>
<p>Bunbury Mill is a watermill located to the east of the village of Bunbury, Cheshire, England. After being at risk of demolition, it has been restored as a working museum. The structure is designated by English Heritage as a Grade II listed building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>There is evidence that a corn mill has been on the site since 1290. The present building dates from about 1844, when an earlier mill was destroyed by fire. During the 20th century the mill was used mainly to produce animal feed, although some flour was still made. In 1960 the building was damaged by flood and, because of the cost of reconstruction and because of falling demand for its products, the mill closed. The land was bought by Nantwich Rural District Council as a site for a water treatment works. In 1966 there were plans to demolish the building, but local residents campaigned for the mill to be repaired as a job creation scheme. This was successful, and the mill was restored to working order by 1977. It passed into the ownership of the North West Water Authority (later part of United Utilities) who reopened the mill as a working museum. In 1999 United Utilities added a classroom and toilet facilities, and the building was used for school and heritage visitors. The mill was closed by United Utilities in 2010 for financial reasons, and the grounds and machinery were looked after by volunteers. The Bunbury Watermill Trust was established, and in April 2012 the mill was given to the Trust, reopening it to visitors. The group Friends of Bunbury Mill has been established to support the work of the trustees.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The mill stands on a sloping site with a single storey facing the road to the south, and two storeys behind. It is constructed in red brick with a slate roof. On the south face is an elevated taking-in door under a small gable. The west and east sides are gabled, with three windows in the west side. The north side contains an entrance door and other openings. The mill pool lies to the south and the mill stream runs to the east.</p><br>
<h2>Access and facilities</h2><br>
<p>Bunbury Mill is open to visitors at advertised times. Tours of the working mill are available. The site includes the mill pond, a wildlife pool and 2 acres of grounds. Facilities include a picnic area and a visitor centre with a café and public toilets.</p><br>
<p>The Ferris Site is an archaeological site in the southwestern part of the USA state of Ohio. Located in Clermont County, the site consists of approximately 3 acre of land along an intermittent stream,</p><br>
<p>In 1970, University of Cincinnati archaeologists excavated the Ferris Site. This investigation yielded a significant number of stone tools, such as blanks, blades, and knives. Synthesis of the artifacts discovered at Ferris has led to the conclusion that it was occupied during the Early Archaic period. As such, it is a unique site in southern Ohio. In recognition of its significance, Ferris was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. It is one of nine archaeological sites in the county that is listed on the National Register.</p><br>
<p>The Princeton Club is a pair of historic buildings located at 1221 and 1223 Locust Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The building at 1223 was designed by architect Frank Furness; the building at 1221 is believed to have been designed by architect Lindley Johnson. From about 1910 through the 1970s, the buildings housed the Princeton Club of Philadelphia. Alterations were made by the club in 1915 and 1919 to join the buildings together.</p><br>
<p>The Princeton Club of Philadelphia was founded in 1868, and was housed in five other buildings before moving to Locust Street. According to its 1912 Yearbook, the club served "to foster good fellowship among Princeton men; and also to provide a suitable place for Alumni meetings, smokers, etc."</p><br>
<p>The restaurant Deux Cheminées occupied the buildings from 1988 to 2007. The property is currently occupied by the restaurant Vedge.</p><br>
<p>The Werderaner Wachtelberg is a 6.2 hectare vineyard in the town of Werder  in Brandenburg. As the northernmost outpost of the Saale-Unstrut wine region, it is the most northern registered location for QbA quality wine in Germany.</p><br>
<h2>Location, climate and soil</h2><br>
<p>The Wachtelberg (German for "quail&#39;s mountain") is located on a 60 m high hill east of the River Havel shaped in the last ice age. The ridge is a remnant of a terminal moraine, formed in the Weichselian glaciation of the last glacial period.</p><br>
<p>There is a temperate climate on the Werderaner Wachtelberg, affected by the Atlantic climate from the north and west and a continental climate from the east. Weather extremes are not commonplace. The temperature profile around Werder is similar to the national average for Germany. Seasonal temperature fluctuations are smaller than the usual continental climate, but higher than in the balanced maritime climate of coastal regions. Precipitation is, with an annual sum of 519 mm, also relatively small. The area is surrounded by the Schwielowsee, Großer Zernsee and the Glindow-See, and due to its positioning between these vast lakes, a slightly higher than German-average temperature is often measured.</p><br>
<p>The peculiarity of the vineyard is that the vines grow in slightly argillaceous sand soil. This sandy soil produces mild wines with low acidity. In 1991, the vineyard was affiliated as a single vineyard site ("großlagenfreie Einzellage") by the wine growing region of Saale-Unstrut and thus recognized by the EU. The Wachtelberg is now a classified German vineyard and can be found under the registration 11.1.5.-017 in the vineyard register (Weinbergrolle). All Werderaner wines are pressed and vinificated at the Landesweingut Kloster Pforta in Saxony-Anhalt.</p><br>
<h2>Viticulture introduction to the Margraviate of Brandenburg</h2><br>
<p>The introduction of viticulture in the Margraviate of Brandenburg was part of the German eastward expansion, which was started in 1125 by King Lothair III. As a result of this policy, Albert the Bear established his rule in Brandenburg some 25 years later. Historical studies have shown that a wine culture was introduced to Brandenburg from the West. This introduction is part of a west-east spread of viticulture in the Middle Ages in connection with the extension of Frankish and German domination and the spread of Christianity in Europe. During the whole period of the Middle Ages, the Roman Catholic Church and its monasteries were sponsors of the wine culture in the margraviate. The church promoted wineries because wine was used for Holy Communion. In addition to the Franks and the Flemish settlers, it was the Cistercians who played a decisive role in viticulture around the Havel at the time. This must be regarded as the origins for the vineyard in Werder.</p><br>
<p>The Donoho Hotel is a historic hotel in Red Boiling Springs, Tennessee, United States. Built in 1916, the Donoho is one of three hotels remaining from the early-20th century resort boom at Red Boiling Springs, and the last of the great white frame hotels with full-length two-story verandas. Although it has changed ownership several times, the Donoho has remained in operation continuously since its opening. In 1986, the hotel and several outbuildings were added to the National Register of Historic Places as a historic district.</p><br>
<p>The mineral springs at Red Boiling Springs&mdash; which were thought to have curative powers&mdash; were attracting tourists as early as the 1840s. After the Civil War, the nationwide rise in the popularity of mountain spring resorts brought about the development of a large-scale tourist industry at Red Boiling Springs. As transportation to the remote mountain hamlet improved, more elaborate hotels were built, among them the Donoho, which was initially built in the early 1900s. After the first Donoho Hotel burned down, the current structure was built as a replacement in 1916. Although alterations were made to the Donoho in the 1950s to provide modern amenities, the hotel still appears much as it did when it was first constructed.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Red Boiling Springs is located amidst the Northern Highland Rim, a rugged upland between the Pennyrile region of Kentucky and the Central Basin of Tennessee. Salt Lick Creek, a tributary of the Barren River, slices a narrow valley which was once lined with a dozen hotels and at least as many boarding houses. The Donoho is situated at the base of a hill at the confluence of Salt Lick Creek and Whitley Branch. The NRHP-listed Cloyd Hotel (now the Thomas House) is located across Whitley Branch to the south. The Donoho faces East Main Street, which runs parallel to Salt Lick Creek.</p><br>
<p>The Red Boiling Springs area is underlain by a type of black shale (Chattanooga shale), which is exposed in some stream beds. As water flows over this shale, it collects and dissolves iron sulfate, giving the area&#39;s springs their once-sought after mineral potency. The most mineralized water is very salty, and has a strong hydrogen sulfide odor. Red-painted well pumps scattered throughout the town mark the location of the various mineral springs.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The mineral springs at Red Boiling Springs were discovered sometime in the 1830s, and by 1844 a hotel had been constructed to house tourists visiting the springs. Due to a lack of transportation to the area (and possibly the Civil War), this early resort struggled financially. By the 1870s, however, a new hotel had been built, and with the establishment of a stagecoach line from Gallatin, Red Boiling Springs began to thrive. A nationwide boom in the popularity of spa resorts in the 1880s and the extension of a railroad line to nearby Hartsville in the 1890s brought still more tourists to Red Boiling Springs, and by the early 1900s the town had four hotels and a dozen or so boarding houses.</p><br>
<p>A hotel owner named Whitley built the first hotel on what is now the Donoho property sometime in the 1890s. Around 1901, the first hotel known as the "Donoho" was built on the property by Whitleys son-in-law, Squire Donoho (1863&ndash;1908), whose family had operated a general store in Red Boiling Springs since the 1880s. After Squire Donohos death, the hotel and property passed into the hands of Whitley&#39;s daughter, Tennie, and her husband, Brady Chitwood (1875&ndash;1958). The first Donoho Hotel burned in 1915, and the following year the Chitwoods built the present hotel as a replacement.</p><br>
<p>The Donoho, like other hotels in the town, offered five types of water: freestone (unmineralized) water, "White" water, "Red" and "Black" water (high in magnesium and calcium), and the most mineralized, "Double and Twist." Cups of the "Black" water were served as a tonic every morning on the hotel&#39;s verandas in its early years. While many believed in the curative effects of the mineral waters, some historians suggest Victorian era tourists merely used health problems as an excuse to take long, recreational vacations. Dancing, bowling, and swimming were common activities. While alcoholic beverages were barred at the Donoho, numerous taverns were scattered around the periphery of Red Boiling Springs.</p><br>
<p>The Chitwoods managed the Donoho until 1955, when they sold it to Ed Hagen. Hagen made several renovations in hopes of reviving the tourist industry at Red Boiling Springs. The hotel has since had several owners, most notably the Walsh family, who operated the hotel from 1974 to 1993.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The Donoho Hotel is a two-story weatherboard frame structure resting on a brick foundation. The hotel is an elaborate "T" shape, with the north and south wings hanging from the ends of the Ts crossbar, and the rear kitchen wing (added in the 1930s) being the Ts base. Verandas span the length of the facade and both sides of both stories. The verandas are supported by four large columns (flanking the hotels entrance) and twenty-two smaller columns, and contain oak tongue and groove floors. All but one of the hotels rooms are accessible only from the verandas.</p><br>
<p>The hotels interior consists of a hallway which leads to a lobby, a lounge, the lone interior guest room, and a 128-capacity dining room (the dining room is in the stem of the "T"). The rear kitchen wing is accessible from the dining room and from the outside. Along with the kitchen, the rear wing includes a room once reserved for the hotels cook. Private baths were added to most of the guest rooms in the 1950s.</p><br>
<p>The Donoho House, which stands immediately north of the hotel, was built in 1924 by the Chitwoods for the managers of the hotel. The house is a two-story brick structure with a shingled hip roof and flared eaves. The house has a full-length lower level porch and a short porch on the upper level. The first-floor interior of the house has three dining rooms, a lobby, a kitchen area, and living quarters. The second-floor interior contains five bedrooms. The house is a contributing building in the historic district.</p><br>
<p>The most historically-notable outbuilding is an 1890s-era fruit cellar, built into the hillside for the property&#39;s first hotel. Only the front of the cellar is exposed, and consists of a wooden door flanked by loose river rock. Other outbuildings include a 1916-era washhouse (now a storage shed) and a recently constructed entertainment center, both behind the hotel. The entertainment center now features music on the weekends with an excellent dj, video games and concessions. The front lawn of the hotel contains two gazebos (one of which was built over a "Red" water spring) and a covered footbridge over Salt Lick Creek. Of these outbuildings, the fruit cellar and washhouse are considered contributing structures in the historic district.</p><br>
<p>Sussex County Courthouse, is located in Newton, the county seat Sussex County, New Jersey, USA It is part 10th vicinage of the New Jersey Superior Court.</p><br>
<p>It was originally built in 1765 and rebuilt in 1847. and added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 23, 1979. It is one of the courthouses dating from the 18th century are among the oldest courthouses in the United States still in active use.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse was the site of a daring raid during the American Revolution by one of the Loyalists&#39; best operatives, Lieutenant James Moody. In 1780, Moody led several men to free eight Loyalist prisoners held in the Sussex County Courthouse. Moody freed the men and fled with them. Despite a pursuit lasting several days, Revolutionary forces failed to capture them. The court was gutted by fire in 1847 and rebuilt within the original walls and structure.</p><br>
<p>The old courthouse continues to handle judicial proceedings in conjunction with a newer Sussex County Judicial Center built in 1992.</p><br>
<p>Island Mountain is a resistant formation of volcanic and metavolcanic rock in the Franciscan Assemblage of southwestern Trinity County, California. It was mined for sulfur metal deposits during the first half of the 20th century and was the final obstacle in the construction of a railroad line to Eureka, California in 1914. The name is applied to the range, the peak, a populated place and an abandoned railroad station, tunnel and bridge all but the first located within the S-bend of the Eel River which gave the peak its name.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Island Mountain is named peak in the Island Mountain range which covers an area from Mendocino County into Trinity County. The highest point of this range, and its official centroid, is a benchmark called "South Peak" on the unnamed tallest point which is in Mendocino County.</p><br>
<h2>Railroad history</h2><br>
<p>The Island Mountain itself (40&deg;1&prime;25.89&Prime;N latitude, 123&deg;29&prime;50.95&Prime;W longitude) was the final obstacle to completion of the Northwestern Pacific Railroad between San Francisco and Eureka. Railroad construction proceeded northerly down the west side of the Eel River canyon and bridged the river at the "S" curve to enter 4,313 ft tunnel number 27 through the mountain. There was a golden spike ceremony downstream of the mountain at Cain Rock in 1914 to complete the railroad. Stop number 293, also named "Island Mountain" on the Northwestern Pacific Railroad was located along the tracks near the river where a railroad bridge crosses the Eel prior to the tracks entering the south end of Island Mountain tunnel at milepost 194.8.</p><br>
<h2>Mining history</h2><br>
<p>A volcanogenic massive sulfide ore deposit within Island Mountain was mined after rail service became available. Between 1915 and 1930, 4,100 tons of copper, 140,000 ounces of silver, and 8,600 ounces of gold were mined. Minerals identified within the ore body include chalcanthite, chalcopyrite, copiapite, goslarite, pyrite, and pyrrhotite. Volcanic rock was quarried from Island Mountain by Northwestern Pacific Railroad for heavy riprap used as far away as Humboldt Bay.</p><br>
<h2>Populated place</h2><br>
<p>Island Mountain is the name of a populated place located in Trinity County located at 40&deg;1&prime;33.6&Prime;N latitude, 123&deg;29&prime;24&Prime;W longitude, 538 ft above sea level. The first post office here was established in 1905 under the name "Island" until August 16, 1915 when it was renamed "Island Mountain."</p><br>
<p>The Albert J. Zabriskie Farmhouse is located at the current address of 7 East Ridgewood Avenue in Paramus, Bergen County, New Jersey, United States, just east of New Jersey Route 17. This is one of several Zabriskie historic sites associated with the descendants of prominent settler Albrycht Zaborowski . This stone house was built in 1805 by Albert Jacob Zabriskie  in the New Jersey Dutch style, owned by four generations of the family until 1924, and added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 7, 1977. Due to confusion from the street name and handwritten notes on one page of the NRHP nomination, the building is sometimes mistakenly listed as being in Ridgewood, New Jersey.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Todays East Ridgewood Avenue was once a colonial road linking the Saddle River (to the west) and the Hackensack River (to the east). Generations of the prolific Zabriskie family would raise children and crops and livestock in the area for over 200 years. Albert Jacob Zabriskie, a great-grandson of patriarch Albrycht, inherited one-third of his fathers 225 acres in 1796, and built the 1805 house using materials salvaged from his fathers home directly across the road. Albert Jacob left the house to his son Peter Albert Zabriskie in 1835, who left it to his own son Albert Peter Zabriskie in 1875, who left it to his niece Anna Zabriskie in 1904, who finally sold it in 1924 after 119 years of family ownership. Since then, the historic home was remodeled into professional offices, the lot was subdivided to a half-acre, and the surrounding land was converted into the Fashion Center shopping complex and a suburban housing development and NJ Route 17. Still, despite the many changes over the years, the 1805 stone farmhouse has kept virtually the same appearance from the road, and remains one of Bergen Countys best-preserved examples of its Dutch Colonial heritage.</p><br>
<p>Pico Viejo is a volcano located on the island of Tenerife . It is the second highest peak of Tenerife and the Canary Islands  with a height of 3,135 m above sea level, a huge crater approximately of 720 metres in diameter.</p><br>
<p>The volcano is part of the Teide volcanic complex, which began forming about 200,000 years ago in the center of Tenerife. Its crater is one of the satellite craters around El Teide.</p><br>
<p>It erupted in 1798, and it is estimated that it ejected around 12 million m³ of lava over three months</p><br>
<p>forming a black colored surface, which is different from the rest of the volcano area, which are known as the Teide noses.</p><br>
<h2>Climbing routes</h2><br>
<p>Pico Viejo can be climbed from several sides:</p><br>
<p>From the road in the west and south-west. There are several different starting points.</p><br>
<p>From the hotel Parador.</p><br>
<p>From Mount Teide.</p><br>
<p>The shortest approach from the west and south-west side is if you start from the parking Narices del Teide. You will need around three hours from the road to the crater.</p><br>
<p>From the Parador side, the route starts at the parking and you will need three hours.</p><br>
<p>You can access Pico Viejo from the Teide direction as well, regardless if you climb the mountain or you use the cable car.</p><br>
<p>The Santa Fe Arroyo Seco Railroad Bridge in Highland Park, Los Angeles, is more than 700 ft long and crosses the Arroyo Seco Parkway at an elevation of over 100 ft. It the tallest and longest railroad span in the city of Los Angeles, and most likely the oldest such structure still in use.</p><br>
<p>The bridge crosses the lower part of the Arroyo Seco, a watershed canyon from the San Gabriel Mountains.</p><br>
<p>The Santa Fe Arroyo Seco bridge, built in 1896, replaced the 1889 wooden trestle used by the Southern California Railway, which was a subsidiary of the Santa Fe Railroad. The 1889 bridge replaced the original 1885 wooden trestle bridge built by the Los Angeles and San Gabriel Valley Railroad. Rail service ended in 1994 and in the late 1990s, the bridge was retrofitted to accommodate the Los Angeles MTA&#39;s Gold Line light rail system which opened on July 26, 2003.</p><br>
<p>Advocated by the Highland Park Heritage Trust and Charles J. Fisher, the bridge was declared City of Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument #339 on January 22, 1988.</p><br>
<p>The Gatch Site is an archaeological site located near Milford, Ohio, United States.</p><br>
<h2>Site</h2><br>
<p>The boundaries of the Gatch Site encompass approximately 75 acre of land on what was once the farm of John N. Gatch. It has long been known to locals as a productive source of Native American relics; consequently, area residents have collected large numbers of artifacts from the site over the years. Annual plowing increased the number of known artifacts by bringing them to visibility on the surface of the fields. An archaeological survey has observed that the southern and northwestern parts of the farm have yielded the highest concentration of artifacts, including firepits, campsites, and burials.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>During the mid-2000s, a nonprofit organization, the Valley View Foundation, began a program to purchase property along the East Fork of the Little Miami River with a goal of preserving portions of the river valley from erosion. The core of the organizations project was the "Bottoms" area, located on the northern side of the river west of the interchange of Interstate 275 and USA Route 50. This area was once intended for development by a company that purchased the land in the late 1980s; however, after the Milford city government declined permission for the proposal, the company sold it in 2002, and it has since come into the ownership of the city. Located within the Bottoms is the site of the Gatch family farm; in proposing its conservation program, the Valley View Foundation highlighted the significance of the Gatch Site as a leading part of the areas history.</p><br>
<h2>Recognition</h2><br>
<p>In 1974, the National Park Service recognized the prehistoric significance of the Gatch Site by adding it to the National Register of Historic Places. It is one of nine archaeological sites in Clermont County that is listed on the National Register. Among the other eight is the Clarke Farm Site, which like the Gatch Site has produced artifacts from the Woodland period.</p><br>
<p>The Mary Willis Library is a historic public library located in the city of Washington, in the USA state of Georgia. The library, located at 204 East Liberty Street  in downtown Washington, is the designated public library for Wilkes County and headquarters of the Bartram Trail Regional Library System. Built in 1889 in red brick and featuring Tiffany glass, the Mary Willis Library was listed with the USA National Register of Historic Places on April 11, 1972.</p><br>
<h2>First Free Library</h2><br>
<p>The Mary Willis Library was the first free public library in the state of Georgia when it opened in 1889. The free library was a revolutionary concept in a day when all the states earlier libraries charged users a subscription fee. The library was founded the previous year by Dr. Francis T. Willis in memory of his daughter, Mary. Dr. Willis, a local by birth who had moved to Richmond, Virginia in 1867, left the library as a gift to his hometown and its citizens. Dr. Willis donated his own private collection of books, plus fifteen thousand dollars for the librarys construction, two thousand dollars to purchase furnishings and more books, and another ten thousand dollars as an endowment fund.</p><br>
<p>Noted Atlanta architect Edmund George Lind designed the library in the Queen Anne style, with masonry construction featuring detailed brickwork, a steeply gabled roof and a dome-capped tower. The library interior is lit by stained glass windows, including the central memorial window which was crafted by Tiffany Studios. The historic original 1889 construction covered a size of 2,655 ft (246.7 m).</p><br>
<p>By 1977, the facility had outgrown its original space, and an addition was needed. Architects Kuhlkhe and Wade of Augusta designed an annex which was attached to Linds historic original structure. This first annex added 4,459 ft (414.3 m) of floor space. Todays facility, at 12,381 ft (1150.2 m) is over four and a half times the size of the original.</p><br>
<p>The collection at Mary Willis Library includes at its core a number of rare books on local and state history, books by authors native to the Washington-Wilkes County area, genealogical archives, and historic memorabilia and newspapers from Washington&#39;s past.</p><br>
<h2>Regional Library</h2><br>
<p>The library&#39;s private endowment continued to fund operations until 1967, when Mary Willis Library joined with the library in neighboring Taliaferro County to form a regional library system. Today, the Bartram Trail Regional Library System is headquartered at Mary Willis Library. The Bartram Trail system services Wilkes County, where Mary Willis Library is located, Taliaferro County, and McDuffie County. Mary Willis is joined in the Bartram Trail system by two branch libraries, the Taliaferro County Library in Crawfordville and the Thomson-McDuffie County Library in Thomson.</p><br>
<p>The Brooke Site  is an archaeological site in the northwestern portion of the USA state of Ohio. Located south of the city of Defiance in Defiance County, the site encompasses approximately 1 acre at the bottom of a ravine, along the Auglaize River. It was occupied by Late Woodland peoples of the Ontario and Younge Traditions.</p><br>
<p>Archaeology students from Defiance College took part in field schools at the site during the summers of 1968 through 1973. Excavations conducted by these field schools resulted in the discovery of a wide range of artifacts, such as bits of flint, bone, and pottery, a midden, fire pits, and a piece of copper. Although only half of the site was excavated by these field schools, the knowledge gained was significant because it highlighted the connection between the different peoples who occupied the site, and because the excavations revealed the inhabitants&#39; varying seasonal uses of the site.</p><br>
<p>In 1976, the Brooke Site was added to the National Register of Historic Places because of its archaeological significance.</p><br>
<p>The Tendoy Mountains are a small mountain range northwest of Lima in Beaverhead County in the USA state of Montana. The mountains are a subrange of the Beaverhead Mountains, part of the Bitterroot Range. The highest point in the range is Dixon Mountain at 9,674 ft. The Bureau of Land Management  and</p><br>
<p>US Forest Service manage the range, and most of these remote mountains are roadless, with the largest contiguous area about 68,000 acres in size.</p><br>
<p>The northern part of the range features rugged Bell and Limekiln Canyons, which contain 700 high cliff faces, ledges, talus, caves and rock walls. A free-standing rock wall, Wedding Ring Rock, is of special geological interest. Indian pictographs are found in some caves. Excellent mule deer habitat is provided by the ranges typical habitats of grassland, sagebrush, and ridges forested with lodgepole pine and Douglas-fir.</p><br>
<p>The arid southern portion of the range lacks any year-round streams except Hidden Pasture Creek. This part of the Tendoys is characterized by patches of Douglas-fir and mountain mahogany growing in open sagebrush grassland. Pronghorn and deer utilize the area year-round, while elk reside here in winter and spring.</p><br>
<p>The Belcher-Ogden Mansion Benjamin Price-Price-Brittan Houses District is a 0.8 acre historic district in Elizabeth, Union County, New Jersey, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. It is located near Boxwood Hall and is in the heart of colonial Elizabethtown, the first English-speaking settlement in what became the Province of New Jersey.</p><br>
<h2>Belcher-Ogden House</h2><br>
<p>The Belcher-Ogden House was built in 1742 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 2, 1978.</p><br>
<h2>Nathaniel Bonnell House</h2><br>
<p>The Nathaniel Bonnell House, at 1045 East Jersey Street, is the oldest house in Elizabeth. Nathaniel Bonnell, a native of New Haven, Connecticut and a member of Elizabeth&#39;s incorporating organization, the Elizabeth Associates, built the house himself sometime before 1682—some think as early as 1670 with the birth of his first child. Bonnell served as a member of the General Assembly of the Province of New Jersey in 1692 and the last official reference to him is as a signer of the 1696 petition for relief against the oppression of the Lords Proprietor.</p><br>
<p>Bethel A.M.E. Church is located in Davenport, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The African Methodist Episcopal Church congregation was founded in Davenport in November 1865 and it was incorporated on January 1, 1866. Their first location was at the corner of Fourth and Gaines Street. Not only was it the first of several small churches that were founded by the Black community in Davenport after the conclusion of the American Civil War, it was the first in the State of Iowa. The black community itself was relatively small and scattered in Davenport until the 1920s.</p><br>
<p>The property at the corner of Eleventh and Ripley Streets was purchased in 1875 for $1,800.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Davenport architectural firm of Clausen & Clausen designed the building using two styles that are typically found in home construction: Bungalow and American Craftsman styles. The choice seems appropriate for a denomination that emphasizes simplicity and avoidance of ceremony and symbolism. The building also features round-arch, stained glass windows that recall the Romanesque Revival style, and more typical of ecclesiastical architecture, rather than rectilinear windows.</p><br>
<p>St. John&#39;s United Methodist Church is located in central Davenport, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Development of the Methodist Church in Davenport</h3><br>
<p>The beginning of the Methodist Church in Davenport can be traced to the arrival of the Rev. E. C. Gavit of the Ohio Conference who was sent to minister among the Sac and Fox tribes in 1835. He was also instructed to visit White settlements along the way and from them, he was to receive his financial support. While he resided in the area that would become Davenport, his missionary territory stretched from the Missouri state border to St. Anthony Falls in Minnesota, which is in present-day Minneapolis.</p><br>
<p>In August 1836 the Methodist Society was organized in Rockingham, Iowa, the present southwest side of Davenport, with the assistance of the Illinois Conference. It consisted of seven or eight people. D.C. James had been assigned to the Rock Island District and preached at Rockingham. Later that year the Rockingham Circuit was formed. The circuit included an area of about 200 miles. It stretched from the Iowa River on the south to the Wapsipinicon River on the north and went inland to where ever there was a White settlement. Chauncey Hobart was put in charge of the circuit.</p><br>
<p>The first services in the city of Davenport itself were held in the spring of 1837 at the house of D.D. Eldridge. The missionary E.C. Gavit led the service and preached.</p><br>
<p>The first organized church in Davenport started in 1839 when William L. Cook was authorized to form a church organization. He found seven people and they formed the first class in Davenport. In a year it would grow to 20 members. Rev. Francis H. Chenowith was sent to be the first preacher in Davenport and a church building was begun in 1841 on the west side of Perry Street between Fourth and Fifth Streets. The small structure was built of brick and measured 30 by 40 feet. The congregation took the name Davenport Methodist Episcopal Church and later First Methodist Episcopal Church.</p><br>
<p>The congregation continued to grow and in 1853 plans were drawn up for a new church building at the corner of Fifth and Brady Streets. The new building was completed the following summer, and a parsonage was built soon after. In 1856 Wesley Chapel was formed with 60 members. The parent church had 375 members</p><br>
<p>The congregation continued to grow and it was decided their church building was again too small. In 1867 property was purchased on top of the hill at the corner of 14th and Brady Streets. The Fourteenth Street Methodist Episcopal Church was formed at that location. Other small congregations also formed from the main church: Spring Street Church, Cook Chapel, and Gilruth Chapel. In 1873 a new main church was built further up Brady Street because the trains on 5th Street created too much noise.</p><br>
<h3>St. John’s Church</h3><br>
<p>In 1899 First Methodist Episcopal Church and Fourteenth Street Methodist Episcopal Church were reorganized into Central Methodist Episcopal Church. In 1902 the cornerstone of the present church building was laid at the 14th and Brady location. Parke T. Burrows was the designing architect and Frederick G. Clausen was the superintending architect.</p><br>
<p>The new building was dedicated on December 13, 1903 as St. John’s. It was built at a cost of $112,000. It has a large rectangular sanctuary and an imposing corner tower. In the early 20th century it had a congregation of 1,030 and a Sunday School of 623 pupils. Other Methodist congregations were formed in the 20th century: Grace (1925), Faith and Christ (1965). St. John’s has remained the largest congregation.</p><br>
<p>The church property expanded in the 21st century when the church renovated a former furniture store across 14th Street. Called The Center, it created more space to expand the church’s outreach ministries. An alternative worship site was created at Wertz Funeral Home at Kimberly and Jersey Ridge Roads. The location moved in 2007 to Eisenhower Elementary School.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>St. Johns is a cruciform-plan structure with a prominent corner tower. The building is constructed of limestone in the English Gothic style. Instead of the soaring verticality, which is typical of a Gothic style church, St. Johns presents a relatively low profile. This is emphasized in its strong horizontal masonry coursing and the massing of solid, geometrical forms. The main entrance into the church is located beneath the arched tower base. Large tracery windows dominate the west, north and south elevations. Lancet windows are found throughout the structure. A parsonage is located to the south of the church building and is constructed of the same materials. An education building is attached to the southeast corner of the sanctuary.</p><br>
<h2>Pipe organ</h2><br>
<p>The M.P. Moller (Op. 9404, 1960) pipe organ features a traditional style console with roll top. It is equipped with three manuals, four divisions, 40 stops, 26 registers, 33 ranks, 1998 pipes and electro-pneumatic (EP) unit chests. The manual compass is 61 notes and the pedal compass is 32 notes. The drawknobs are organized in vertical rows on angled jambs. The balanced swell shoes/pedals are in standard AGO placement. The combination action is a remote pneumatic/mechanical capture system. Rounding out the features are AGO Standard (concave radiating) pedalboard, reversible full organ/tutti thumb piston, reversible full organ/tutti toe stud, combination action thumb pistons, and coupler reversible toe studs.</p><br>
