<p>Vardim Rocks  are a group of rocks situated on the south side of Hell Gates, facing Devils Point in the southwest extremity of Byers Peninsula on Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. Extending 1.3 km in east-west direction. The two principal islets in the group, Demon and Sprite, are extending 420 by and 270 by respectively, with surface area of the former 9 hectare. The area was visited by early 19th century sealers.</p><br>
<p>The group includes the small islands of Demon (62&deg;40&prime;26&Prime;S latitude, 61&deg;10&prime;55&Prime;W longitude), Sprite (62&deg;40&prime;23&Prime;S latitude, 61&deg;11&prime;31&Prime;W longitude), and Imp (62&deg;40&prime;20&Prime;S latitude, 61&deg;12&prime;00&Prime;W longitude).</p><br>
<p>The rocks are named after the village of Vardim and the neighboring Vardim Island which is located on the Danube River in northern Bulgaria. Demon, Sprite and Imp islands are so named to reflect their proximity to Devils Point.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Vardim Rocks are located at 62&deg;40&prime;28&Prime;S latitude, 61&deg;11&prime;00&Prime;W longitude (British mapping in 1968, detailed Spanish mapping in 1992, and Bulgarian mapping in 2005, 2009 and 2010.</p><br>

<p>The Ohio Theatre is a historic movie theater in downtown Lima, Ohio, United States. Built in 1927,</p><br>
<p>A movie palace constructed for the Schine Corporation, In addition to its original purpose, the Ohio Theatre has served to host stage performances by a wide range of entertainers. Individuals as well known as Bob Hope have graced the theater&#39;s ornate interior.</p><br>
<p>In 1982, the Ohio Theatre was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as part of a collection of buildings designated the "Lima Multiple Resource Area." Designated as historic sites because of their architecture, these buildings were deemed worthy of historic preservation primarily because of the city&#39;s architectural history: although Lima had once been home to a large number of architecturally valuable buildings, an unusually large percentage of them had been destroyed or abandoned to ruin.</p><br>
<p>First African New Church  is a historic church, located at 2105-07 10th St., Northwest, Washington, D.C., in the Cardozo-Shaw neighborhood.</p><br>

<p>Immaculate Conception Catholic Church is a historic Catholic parish located at 1315 8th Street NW in Washington, D.C. The church, school, rectory, and convent were placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<p>The cornerstone of the original church, located on a lot near the corner of 8th and N Streets, Northwest took place on October 30, 1864. Martin John Spalding, Archbishop of Baltimore, dedicated the new church on July 2, 1865, the Feast of the Visitation (Christianity). The parish rapidly outgrew this structure, however, and on November 13, 1870 the cornerstone for the present Gothic Revival church was laid, with construction commencing the following year. It was dedicated in 1874, at which time the old structure became the parish and school hall. The church was refurbished in 1939 and 1962–3.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The construction of the church was finished on October 30, 1864. Father Reverend Patrick F. McCarthy was the first Pastor of the church. Before Immaculate Conception Church was established, St. Patricks Church built in 1794 was the first as well as the only Catholic church in the City of Washington (D.C.). St. Patricks Church was becoming overcrowded. To better suit its members, Immaculate Conception Church was founded in the Shaw neighborhood of Washington, DC. Back to the beginning of the eighteenth century, most parishioners of the church were either Catholics who were original residents in this area or other immigrating Irish Catholics, and worshiping weekly was a part of their tradition. The land of Immaculate Conception Church originally belonged to William Jones, and it was deeded by him on October 6, 1864 for $16,000, with $8,000 paid up front. It can be seen that the church was under the construction even before the land was deeded. Father J. Walter began the project during the summer of 1864. The cornerstone was laid on Sunday, October 30, 1864. Construction was completed the following summer of 1865. On July 2, the feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin, the Most Reverend Martin J. Spalding, Archbishop of Baltimore, dedicated the new church assisted by Father</p><br>
<p>Walter and Rev P. F. McCarthy of St. Patrick&#39;s.</p><br>
<p>The landowner&#39;s desire was to make this land a place for church and school. At the meantime, a school was also built associated with the church and it was named as Immaculate Conception Catholic School. The building was finished construction in 1908. Due to the creation and establishment of a school, the number of parishioners grew by over 2,000. As a result, the Immaculate Conception Church and School could not hold its growing population.</p><br>
<p>The developments of the area in the two periods (1800-1850 and 1850-1880) are strongly related. Before 1850 when St. Patrick’s Church was still the only Catholic Church in the City of Washington (D.C.), it benefited the neighborhoods including Shaw. However, parishioners in Shaw had to walk to St. Patrick’s Church at 10th and G Streets Northwest. Since there was no Catholic Church in Shaw neighborhood prior to 1850, parishioners in Shaw tended to have their own church as well as a catholic school. The lack of a local catholic church in Shaw before 1850 really encouraged the establishment of the Immaculate Conception Church in 1860s. “It was located on N Street next to a vacant corner lot 8th and N Streets and was the first structure to be built in the area.” Therefore, it is a very significant landmark in Shaw neighborhood, and it helped the neighborhood build up a reputation.</p><br>
<p>Meeting House of the Friends Meeting of Washington  is a historic Quaker meeting house at 2111 Florida Avenue in NW Washington, DC.</p><br>
<p>The Colonial Revival building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Surrounded by embassies, chanceries and military missions, the Florida Avenue Meeting House of the Friends Meeting of Washington was built in 1930 in what was then a fashionable town house residential area. Twenty years later the building was enlarged on the Decatur Place side. In 1970, the red brick town house and garden at 2121 Decatur Place, now known as Quaker House, was acquired for additional educational and community activities.</p><br>
<p>The original grey stone structure, an outright gift to the Friends Meeting of Washington from a Rhode Island Quaker, has historical significance in the nation’s capital. It was designed and built particularly to accommodate the then President, Herbert Hoover, a Quaker. The President and his wife, Lou Henry Hoover, worshipped here when in Washington. They attended the first meeting for Worship held January 4, 1931. The First Lady was present at the laying of the cornerstone. Secret Service arrangements were less formidable than now.</p><br>
<p>Of further historic interest, a ground floor room now used as an office has a beamed ceiling of timbers that had been built into the White House in 1814, part of the repair after the British burned Washington. The beams were removed during another repair episode in the late 1920s. The architect, Walter F. Price, located them in a local mill.</p><br>
<p>Most of the exterior of the Meeting House is faced with Foxcroft stone, an unusual, if not unique, facing stone on Washington area buildings. It has a lively grey coloring and a satin-like texture. The Foxcroft stone came from a quarry in Pennsylvania and is no longer available.</p><br>
<p>The grounds were landscaped by the well-known landscape architect, Rose Greeley. The landscaping and the placing of the building were intended to create a miniature park. The grounds of most urban Meeting Houses are enclosed by brick or stone walls which often shield a burial ground.</p><br>
<p>A special feature of the terrace is a sun dial with the names of Fox, Penn and Woolman cut in stone and the inscription, “I mind the Light, dost Thou?” George Fox was the founder of the Society of Friends in 17th century England; William Penn established the “holy experiment” in Pennsylvania; John Woolman of New Jersey crusaded relentlessly against slavery in the 18th century.</p><br>
<p>Inside, the building is simple and functional. The Meeting Room with benches, about half of them facing each other, is used primarily for Meetings for Worship on Sundays, for weddings, memorial services, business meetings, lecture and other public gatherings. Visitors will note the absence of the usual features of church interiors: altar, pulpit or lectern, organ, choir space, stained glass, ornamentation, memorial tables and so on. None are necessary for worship after the manner of Friends-there is no minister, creed, sacrament, music, nor prescribed ritual. Silence is the basis for worship, although anyone who feels moved to do so may speak. Visitors</p><br>
<p>are always welcome but prepared messages or forum discussions are not appropriate to the Meeting for Worship.</p><br>
<p>A library located on the same floor as the Meeting Room contains an extensive selection of books, pamphlets and periodicals of</p><br>
<p>historical and current interest on the Society of Friends and Quaker social concerns.</p><br>
<p>Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church  is a historic church located at 1518 M Street, N.W., in downtown Washington, D.C. It affiliates with the African Methodist Episcopal Church religious denomination.</p><br>
<p>The congregation was founded in 1838 as Union Bethel (Metropolitan) A. M. E. Church. In 1880, John W. Stevenson was appointed by Bishop Daniel Payne to be pastor of the church for the purpose of building a new church, which would become Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church. The cornerstone was laid in September, 1881. However, Stevenson&#39;s methods were upsetting to some of his congregation, and Stevenson was removed before the building was finished after asking for a salary that was deemed too high. The new building was dedicated on May 30, 1886 and was constructed by architect George Dearing. According to the church, it is oldest continuously black-owned property in the original 10-mile parcel of the District.</p><br>
<p>USA President Barack Obama attended services here on Sunday, January 20, 2013, before his second inauguration.</p><br>
<p>Morgan Chapel and Graveyard — also known as Christ Episcopal Church-Bunker Hill — is a historic church in Bunker Hill, Berkeley County, West Virginia. It is the oldest Episcopal church congregation in West Virginia.</p><br>
<p>In 1741 Morgan Morgan, one of West Virginia&#39;s earliest settlers, built the original log church on this site, about halfway between his cabin and the mill. Soon a cemetery was established.</p><br>
<p>The current Greek Revival building was constructed in 1851. Morgan Morgan I, II, III, and IV are all buried in the church cemetery, although the historic marker for Morgan Morgan is over a mile away near the town center and mill. Morgan Morgan&#39;s descendants later founded Morgantown, West Virginia. Also buried in the graveyard is noted American portrait artist John Drinker (1760-1826), a Quaker who may have been a conductor on the Underground Railroad along with his wife Elizabeth and whose former house is also on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>During the American Civil War, both Union and Confederate troops encamped nearby and some in the chapel, as shown by recently uncovered graffiti. The diocese is currently seeking funds for further restoration. The closest local Episcopal parish is now Zion Episcopal Church in Charles Town, West Virginia, several miles eastward on the Winchester Pike, which celebrated its 200th anniversary in 2015. Until recently, that parish had used this chapel for at least one worship service each year (in September); other denominations and special events occasionally used it until the restoration commenced.</p><br>
<p>Morgan Chapel was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984,</p><br>
<p>Hedges Chapel is a historic non-denominational chapel located at 668 Mountain Lake Road in Hedgesville, Berkeley County, West Virginia. It was built in 1850 and is a 1-story, three-by-two-bay, gable-roofed log building on a fieldstone foundation. It is sheathed in German siding, added in 1885 and topped by a corrugated metal roof. Also on the property is the church cemetery, with approximately 100 burials dating to 1872.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<h2>Hedges Chapel Story</h2><br>
<p>In western Berkeley County, West Virginia stands</p><br>
<p>Hedges Chapel. For more than 160 years this one-room wooden structure of</p><br>
<p>simple architecture has been a focus of Christian spirit, faith and</p><br>
<p>comfort. It stands on a small hill overlooking the two-lane country road</p><br>
<p>that leads the congregation to its doors, while its green-shuttered</p><br>
<p>windows keep watch over the cemetery where some of its faithful rest.</p><br>
<p>In the 1840s, the nearest church was six miles away, a</p><br>
<p>difficult trip on dirt roads, especially in rain or snow. Church was a</p><br>
<p>central focus for the community, and local residents began to feel the</p><br>
<p>need for a nearby church of their own. In 1849 several members of the</p><br>
<p>community decided to build a church, and. Mr. John Hedges donated land</p><br>
<p>for the chapel and cemetery. It is for him that the chapel is named.</p><br>
<p>Neighbors cut the trees, donated timber and other materials, and</p><br>
<p>provided their labor. A neighbor who operated a nearby sawmill</p><br>
<p>volunteered to saw and plane the timber for the structure and the pews.</p><br>
<p>Local horses hauled the materials to the building site. Only nails and</p><br>
<p>window glass were purchased; everything else was locally made.</p><br>
<p>Construction began in the winter of 1849, and in 1850, the Hedges Chapel</p><br>
<p>opened. In the chapel’s early days worshipers came to services on foot</p><br>
<p>and on horseback. Later, as the community became more established, the</p><br>
<p>faithful began to arrive in buggies.</p><br>
<p>Hedges Chapel was built as a log structure, although</p><br>
<p>its logs are no longer visible. In 1885 its exterior was covered with</p><br>
<p>white-painted, German-style, wood plank, and its 15-foot-high interior</p><br>
<p>walls were clad in plaster. The original logs remain between the two</p><br>
<p>façades silently supporting the chapel, as they have for over 160 years.</p><br>
<p>Originally the chapel had a simple shingle roof, replaced by a slate</p><br>
<p>roof in 1905 and the current metal roof in 1939. Inside the building the</p><br>
<p>congregation worships on the original pews that were built from planks</p><br>
<p>sawn from local trees in 1850.</p><br>
<p>Hedges Chapel was first established as a Methodist church, the Hedges Stony Lick Run Church. As years passed, chapel</p><br>
<p>membership waxed and waned. In the 1960s and 1970s the chapel was</p><br>
<p>closed, reopened and closed again. Finally, in 1977 Hedges Chapel had</p><br>
<p>fewer than ten active members, and closed its doors seemingly for good.</p><br>
<p>In the 1980s the virtually abandoned building was vandalized and</p><br>
<p>stripped of much of its contents. It seemed less and less likely that</p><br>
<p>the chapel would ever open its doors again. However, faith prevailed</p><br>
<p>over adversity, and, toward the end of the decade the spiritual needs of</p><br>
<p>the area were renewed. In a fortunate coupling, local residents were</p><br>
<p>again in search of a local church, and a number of part-time residents</p><br>
<p>of the new Woods community were in search of a church away from home.</p><br>
<p>In 1988, Reverend Charles Long, then assistant pastor</p><br>
<p>at the Hedgesville United Methodist Church, attempted to revive the old</p><br>
<p>church. Not wanting to see the old chapel waste away, he approached</p><br>
<p>several members of the expanding local community and asked if they would</p><br>
<p>be interested in restarting the old church. He received a very</p><br>
<p>enthusiastic response. Local residents, with the assistance of Reverend</p><br>
<p>Long, received permission from the Methodist Conference to take over</p><br>
<p>the church, under the agreement that it would remain</p><br>
<p>interdenominational.</p><br>
<p>Armed with $3,000 in loans and donations, volunteers</p><br>
<p>began their work with the same spirit that the original founders had</p><br>
<p>shown 160 years earlier. Some rewired the vandalized electrical system,</p><br>
<p>while others completely renovated the chapel’s interior and exterior.</p><br>
<p>Their hard work, dedication, faith and several thousand dollars more in</p><br>
<p>donations infused new life into the old structure. Their efforts came to</p><br>
<p>fruition on September 10, 1988 when Hedges Chapel, with 26 worshipers,</p><br>
<p>was reborn.</p><br>
<p>Today, when you enter the chapel you will find a</p><br>
<p>stark, elegant interior not much altered in over a century. The original</p><br>
<p>kerosene lanterns that illuminated the chapel have been replaced by</p><br>
<p>electric lights, and overhead fans have been added to circulate air. One</p><br>
<p>of the last of the pioneer vestiges to go was the 1905 wood-burning</p><br>
<p>stove, making way for today’s baseboard electric heat and heat pumps</p><br>
<p>that also provide air conditioning.</p><br>
<p>As has been the case since the chapel’s very</p><br>
<p>beginning, a cadre of ministers and lay preachers take turns providing</p><br>
<p>the message to the faithful at Hedges Chapel. We are an</p><br>
<p>interdenominational congregation and do not have a permanent pastor.</p><br>
<p>Membership is open to anyone, and guests are always warmly welcomed.</p><br>
<p>This wonderful little chapel building is now a Berkeley County historical</p><br>
<p>landmark, and welcomes an average of 40 to 50 worshippers each Sunday.</p><br>
<p>Pico de las Nieves is the highest peak of the island of Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain. Its height is 1,949 m above sea level. The origin is volcanic . On its slopes, Canary Islands Pine was reintroduced in the 1950s. It is the highest elevation of the province of Las Palmas and the third highest mountain in the Canary Islands. Of the other Canary Islands, only Tenerife and La Palma have higher peaks.</p><br>
<h2>Name</h2><br>
<p>The name means peak of the snows in Spanish and refers to the fact that several covered pits (neveras in Spanish) for holding snow were built directly into the mountainsides. (An alternative theory states that the name came about as the mountain had the highest frequency of snowfalls on the island.) The first of the neveras was constructed in 1694 by order of the Catholic Church. The snow was collected by laborers using wooden shovels and wicker baskets, making real mountains of snow. The snow was placed into the pits by the "paleros" in rows, and packed in rectangular boxes of wood or cork separated by layers of straw.</p><br>
<p>There were many blocks of ice, called "sabanada", which in June would be carried in panniers of straw covered with blankets to the ice cream shop in the Cathedral of Las Palmas (the capital of the island) on horseback, which took five or six hours. The snow was used for alleviating disease, to lower the temperature in the epidemics of yellow fever and cholera, as well as an anti-inflammatory and analgesic. It was also used for cooling water or beverages for the upper class. Water from the pools was used for irrigation purposes.</p><br>
<h2>Sights</h2><br>
<p>Most of the highest plateau is occupied by a military base, including a large ball-shaped radar. Civilian visitors are allowed to enter a platform somewhat below the base, from which half of the island as well as Tenerife&#39;s Pico del Teide is visible, in case of good weather. The most distinctive feature is the Roque Nublo monolith, the second highest peak of the island.</p><br>
<p>The peak could be accessed by a car, as there is a road used by the army. The peak is located between the municipalities of Tejeda, Vega de San Mateo and San Bartolome de Tirajana.</p><br>
<p>John Wesley Methodist Church, also known as First Methodist Church, is a historic Methodist church on E. Foster Street in Lewisburg, Greenbrier County, West Virginia. It was built in 1820, and is a two story, brick meeting house building with Greek Revival style design elements. It originally measures 58 feet long by 47 feet wide. In 1835, a vestibule addition added 10 feet to the length. The interior features a "slave gallery." During the Battle of Lewisburg, a cannonball struck the southwest corner and the repairs remain visible.</p><br>
<p>John Weir, a brickmason and architect, is traditionally accepted to have been the architect for the 1820 building. An 1835 addition was by John W. Dunn, also a brickmason and architect. Dunn is credited with bringing Greek Revival architecture to the area by this work. According to the 1974 NRHP nomination, the building "remains one of the county&#39;s most stately structures".</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<p>Ebenezer Chapel  is a historic chapel on Ohio Avenue, south at Hillview Drive in Marmet, West Virginia.</p><br>
<h2>Origins</h2><br>
<p>The chapel was built in 1836 by slaves owned by Marmet&#39;s first settler, Leonard Morris. Mr. Morris originally named the area Elizaville. By 1848, the building was owned by Luke Wilcox, a local farmer and manager of a local salt works. The chapel was for many years part of a circuit traveled by preachers of the United Methodist Episcopal Church.</p><br>
<h2>Civil War</h2><br>
<p>During the American Civil War (1861-1865) the chapel served as a military headquarters and as a hospital for Union soldiers. Camp Piatt (present day Belle, WV) sits immediately across the river where today DuPont sits.</p><br>
<p>Jacob Conrad Edelmann was a German immigrant who worked on the river in Brownstown (present day Marmet). While under Confederate occupation in the Fall of 1862, Mr. Edelmann made extra money grinding grain for the Confederates. In 1863, Jacob Conrad Edelmann was arrested by Union soldiers and locked inside the chapel for 3 days. He begged for foreign protection, as he was not a United States citizen, and was released on these grounds. After the war, he went on to become a US citizen.</p><br>
<h2>Saved from Demolition</h2><br>
<p>Ebenezer Chapel was saved from destruction by a committee led by local historian and teacher, Russell Hansford. The West Virginia Turnpike was being constructed at the time and the state wanted to demolish the church. Russell Hansford added the chapel to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, thus preserving it for generations to come.</p><br>
<h2>Today</h2><br>
<p>Ebenezer Chapel is the oldest structure in Marmet (and the Kanawha Valley.) It is the only remaining link between today&#39;s generation and the first settlers of the area. It is currently the home of the Elizaville Historical Society and hosts an annual Civil War weekend.</p><br>
<p>St. Mark&#39;s Episcopal Church, also known as Bangor Parish, is a historic Episcopal church at 405-407 B Street in St. Albans, Kanawha County, West Virginia, USA. It was built in 1847, and is a one-story brick building in the Gothic Revival style. The church has a rectangular floor plan with a front vestibule and entrance through a central tower.</p><br>
<p>During the American Civil War, the building and surrounding property were occupied by Union forces. They burned the parsonage and damaged the interior of the church. After the war the building had to be closed for a period of time while only temporary repairs were made. The Federal government paid restitution for the damages in 1915, and the building was restored to good condition.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<p>Harmony Grove Meeting House, also known as Harmony Grove Church, is a historic church off I-79 in Harmony Grove, Monongalia County, West Virginia. It was built in 1854, and is a small, one-story wood frame building. It measures 20 feet wide and 50 feet long. It sits on a foundation of rough-cut stone blocks. It is the oldest unaltered church building in Monongalia County.</p><br>
<p>The church was built by Presbyterians, Baptists and Methodists. The deed for the land apportioned one Sunday per month to each denomination, leaving the fourth and fifth Sundays for "any Protestant Minister of good standing in his own church". The founding documents specifically prohibited Roman Catholics, which was not unusual for that era. Several denominations used the church until 1910, when Methodist circuit preachers became the main users. The church was also used as a school during the week, primarily from 1864 through 1871. The church was closed in 1979.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>St. Marys Orthodox Church, originally known as Nativity of the Most Holy Mother of God Russian Orthodox Church, is a historic church of the American Carpatho-Russian Orthodox Diocese located at the intersection of West Park and Holland Avenues in Westover, Monongalia County, West Virginia. It was also known as St. Michael the Archangel Church and St. Marys Capatho-Russian Orthodox Greek Catholic Church.</p><br>
<p>The building itself was built in the 19th century and originally housed the Westover Methodist Church. It was later sold to the Orthodox Church, at which time it underwent significant alterations to bring it to the architectural standards necessary for an Orthodox house of worship. It was dedicated as an Orthodox church on September 8, 1923 (hence its dedication to the Nativity of the Virgin Mary, which feast day falls on that date). It is a yellow brick building on a high foundation of textured concrete block.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>Ambrose Chapel is a historic Methodist chapel located at Stotlers Crossroads, Morgan County, West Virginia. The land was deeded for a free meeting house for anyone who preached the gospel of Jesus Christ, in 1797 by  Henry Ambrose. The original building was a log structure and was later replaced. The current Chapel was built in 1851 and is a 1 1/2-story rectangular building with hewn log framing, stone foundation, clapboard siding, and metal roof. Also on the property is a cemetery with over 300 burials dating from the early 19th century to about 1945. During the American Civil War it was used as a Confederate field hospital in January, 1862 during Stonewall Jackson&#39;s Bath Romney Campaign.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>Davis Memorial Presbyterian Church is a historic Presbyterian church at 450 Randolph Avenue in Elkins, Randolph County, West Virginia, United States. It was originally built in 1894 and 1895 after designs prepared by the Baltimore architect Charles E. Cassell. In 1921, an Akron plan Sunday School building was added to the north by Clarence L. Harding of Washington D. C. The building consists of a nave, an engaged tower, and a gable roofed structure located perpendicular to the nave. It is built of a granular conglomerate stone consisting of large, transparent quartz crystals bound in clay or silica. The style is Gothic, with Romanesque and eclectic influences.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>Tygarts Valley Church, also known as Tygarts Valley Presbyterian Church, is a historic Presbyterian church on USA Routes 219/250 in Huttonsville, Randolph County, West Virginia. It was built in 1883, and is a Victorian-Gothic style building. The church measures 61 by and features a 105 ft spire.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>Tygarts Valley Presbyterian Church (TVPC) traces its roots back to a Presbyterian Society active in the Tygarts Valley as early as 1772. When the church was officially organized in 1820, one man gained the distinction of being one of the few men, if not the only man, to profess his faith and be ordained an elder during the same worship service (documented in church-maintained history). Typically, one professes his (or her) faith, is a member of the church for a while, then is elected to the governing board of the local church.</p><br>
<p>The current building, dedicated in 1883, replaces the original building, known as the Old Brick Church, or the Brick Church. The Brick Church was destroyed by Union Forces during the Civil War, who wanted (and needed) the bricks for their winter encampment on nearby Cheat Mountain. There is a historical marker on Cheat Mountain identifying the site of the winter encampment and documenting the use of the bricks from the church. The Brick Church sat on a knoll south of Huttonsville, on land that is now surrounded by the W. Va. State Correctional Center.</p><br>
<p>TVPC holds the distinction of being the first building west of the Alleghenies to be designed by an architect, each man having been his own architect up to this time. The Philadelphia firm of Isaac Purcell was selected to design the building. Noted bridge builder Lemuel Chenoweth was responsible for the construction of the church. The colorful windows, often referred to as "stained glass", are actually rolled cathedral glass, imported from Scotland at the astonishing cost of $3000, in the early 1880s (construction on the building started in 1881; dedication of the building occurred in 1883). Considering the rural nature of the area, $3000 was quite a leap of faith.</p><br>
<p>Electric service was added to the church in the 20th century, with conversion of lamps to electricity and addition of an electric organ, a basement was put under the church in the late 1960s, an easy-access ramp was added to the back side of the church in the latter part of the 20th century, and heating stoves and ceiling fans have been added (and are replaced, as necessary). A few broken panes of cathedral glass have had to be replaced over the years. Aside from these few changes, the church remains much as it was in 1883.</p><br>
<p>This church has been photographed many, many times, with photos appearing everywhere imaginable, from bookmark-sized printings of Psalms to CD covers. In the 1960s, the American Bible Society published a bookmark-sized packet of Psalms, with a photo at the top of one side, and a Psalm, or partial Psalm, on the rest of the bookmark. TVPC was the only manmade structure included in the packet.</p><br>
<p>St. Francis Xavier Church is a historic church at 532 Market Street in Parkersburg, West Virginia.</p><br>
<p>This church was built in 1869 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>St. Francis Xavier is one of the four original churches of the Diocese of Wheeling. St. Xavier is also the oldest church building in Parkersburg. The church was completed and dedicated on October 2, 1870.</p><br>
<h2>Early Catholic History of Wood County, West Virginia</h2><br>
<p>Wood County was originally part of the state of Virginia. The first Catholic family to settle in Wood County was the Joseph family who arrived around 1815. They settled in the southern part of the county near Belleville, some 10 miles south of Parkersburg. They became the nucleus for a small Catholic settlement that developed in this area. The Rev. James Reid of the Diocese of Cincinnati, Ohio, began making missionary visits to this settlement about 1835. On June 4, 1836, Father Reid baptized Henry Joseph and Daniel Wigal. These were the first recorded Catholic baptisms in Wood County.</p><br>
<p>Richard Vincent Whelan was consecrated Bishop of Richmond, Virginia, on March 21, 1841, and in September 1841 visited with the Catholic families living in Wood County. The bishop was determined to establish a church and to place a priest in residence as soon as it was practical. By this time the Northwest Turnpike (US 50) was completed to Parkersburg, and the Staunton Pike (State Route 47) was nearly complete. The B & O railroad had also begun building a railroad line to Parkersburg. These developments brought an influx of Irish Catholic immigrants who were predominantly employed on these public works to the area. In the USA Catholic Directory for the year 1849 Bishop Whelan states: "Parkersburg-a neat brick church is being erected at this point, which many circumstances indicate as likely to become prominent on the Ohio River."</p><br>
<h2>Construction of the first church</h2><br>
<p>On June 1, 1845 Bishop Whelan appointed Father Austin Grogan to minister to the Catholics in Parkersburg and Wood County. On April 28, 1847 Bishop Whelan purchased a lot on Market Street for $306.00, payable in three installments, for the purpose of building Parkersburg&#39;s first Catholic Church. Construction on the first church began and the cornerstone was laid on October 27, 1849. A small brick church was built at a cost of $1600.00, with funds provided by the European community through the Propagation of the Faith Society. By April 1850 the church was sufficiently completed and dedicated. Twelve families constituted the charter congregation. Father Robert Lawrence was appointed pastor and took up residence in Parkersburg as its first pastor. On July 19, 1850 the Diocese of Wheeling was created being partitioned from the Diocese of Richmond, Virginia.</p><br>
<h2>Construction of the present church</h2><br>
<p>In 1858 additional lots were purchased on Market Street for a school and rectory. Father Henry Parke, a protégé of Bishop Whelan, was appointed pastor and the parish had 303 members. In 1859, the parish name was changed from Saint Mary&#39;s to St. Francis Xavier. The Civil War soon erupted though and the western counties of Virginia seceded to form the new state of West Virginia on June 20, 1863. In 1864 the Sisters of the Visitation established an academy for women. At the conclusion of the Civil War Father Parke and the congregation began making plans to build a larger church to replace the original church which had become inadequate to meet the needs of the growing Catholic population. Patrick Charles Keely of New York, a prominent Irish-Catholic architect was selected to design the new St. Francis Xavier. Keely designed an imposing Romanesque revival structure with a bell tower 200 feet in height. A local contractor, Lysander Dudley was selected and Joseph Deris was employed as chief carpenter. Actual construction began in August 1867. The pace of construction slowed for an 18-month period due to the difficulty in obtaining quality building materials following the Civil War. On May 9, 1869, the cornerstone was laid for the church and the pace of work quickened with a large force of labor employed on the project. On October 2, 1870, the church was finished and dedicated. The final cost of its construction was $59,930.05.</p><br>
<h2>Church murals</h2><br>
<p>The murals of St. Francis Xavier Church have been called "the most significant examples of ecclesiastical art in West Virginia today" by the West Virginia Department of History and Culture. The murals are noteworthy because of their three-dimensional, bas-relief style also known as tromp loeil painting. The artist was Daniel Muller of Munich, Germany who came from New York City. Muller had painted other churches designed by Patrick Keely. Mullers most noted work before St. Francis Xavier was the Church of the Gesu in Montreal, Canada another Keely designed church. Today St. Francis Xavier parish has over 375 families and a parish population of over 1000 persons. St. Monica parish in nearby Lubeck, composed of 42 families, shares staff with St. Xavier. The parish supports two Catholic schools. Parkersburg Catholic Elementary School serves pre-school through grade 6. Parkersburg Catholic High School serves students in grades 7 through 12. Father John Rice is the current pastor of the parish.</p><br>
<p>The former US Post Office, also known as the US Post Office/Federal Building, is an historic red brick post office building located at 430 South Spring Street in downtown Burlington, North Carolina. Built in 1936, it was designed in a mixture of the Classical Revival and Moderne or Art Deco styles by architect R. Stanley Brown who worked under Louis A. Simon, head of the Office of the Supervising Architect.</p><br>
<p>In the buildings lobby are two wall murals by WPA artist Arthur L. Bairnsfather, which commemorate Burlingtons history as a textile manufacturing center.</p><br>
<p>Since November 3, 1987, the building has been owned by Roche Biomedical Laboratories, Inc., a subsidiary of Hoffmann-La Roche, Inc.</p><br>
<p>On September 23, 1988, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. It is located in the Downtown Burlington Historic District.</p><br>
<p>Staunton Harold Reservoir is a large reservoir under the management of Severn Trent Water, located between Melbourne and Ticknall in Derbyshire, England. Most of the water is within Derbyshire but a small part of the southern shore is over the border in Leicestershire.</p><br>
<p>The reservoir was built in 1964 at the behest of the River Dove Water Board, meant to serve Leicester and the towns of northern Leicestershire. Although no villages were lost in the construction of the reservoir, Furnace Farm, New England Farm and Calke Mill were submerged; their remains lie 25 metres below the surface. The dam wall is a clay core construction, similar to the dam wall at Ladybower Reservoir. Part of the shoreline border the Calke Abbey estate, as well as the National Forest. The reservoir has a total surface area of 209 acre.</p><br>
<p>Staunton Harold hosts a natural habitat for much bird and plant life, and is also home to Dimmingsdale Nature Reserve. There is also a sailing club, a visitors centre and a childrens adventure playground available to visitors. A non-functioning windmill dominates the skyline close to the visitors&#39; centre called Tower Windmill, built in 1797 by the first Lord Melbourne at a cost of £250.</p><br>
<p>The San Bernardino Valley of Arizona is a 35-mi long  northeast-by-southwest trending valley in extreme southeast Cochise County, Arizona.</p><br>
<p>The north end of the valley merges into the northwest-by-southeast trending San Simon Valley; both merge in western perimeter Hidaldgo County, New Mexico. The valley is an asymmetric graben.</p><br>
<p>Valleys border all flanks of the Chiricahua Mountains massif (and some attached sub-ranges); The San Bernardino Valley borders the southeast of the Chiricahua Mountains; the San Simon Valley borders the northeast. San Bernardino Valley abuts the Peloncillo Mountains of New Mexico on the east, and the smaller adjoining range to its south, the Guadalupe Mountains. To the south, the valley borders Sonora, Mexico and the north regions of the Sierra del Tigre range, of Mexico. At the northern end of the Sierra del Tigre, the Rio San Bernardino joins the Bavispe River, then heads south to Mexico. To the northwest and west, the San Bernardino Valley abuts the Chiricahuas, Pedregosa, and Perilla Mountains.</p><br>
<p>At the very south of the valley, north of Douglas, Arizona&mdash;Agua Prieta, Mexico lies the San Bernardino National Wildlife Refuge. The refuge, grasslands, and wetlands are part of the south and southwest-flowing Yaqui River of Mexico that reaches the northeast region of the Gulf of California.</p><br>
<h2>Geronimo—San Bernardino volcanic field</h2><br>
<p>The San Bernardino Valley floor is covered by basaltic lava dating from 0.27 to 1.0 Ma (million years ago). The Geronimo—San Bernardino volcanic field is part of the larger Boot Heel volcanic field.</p><br>
<p>The field covers some 850 km and consists of olivine basalt flows, tuff rings and maars with 130 identified volcanic vent areas and cinder cones.</p><br>

<p>Westover Church is a historic church located 5 mi west of Charles City off Virginia State Route 5 in Charles City, Virginia, United States. It was built in 1731 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<p>Theodorick Bland of Westover, Walter Aston, and William Byrd I are buried near the original site of the Westover Church. The tomb of Benjamin Harrison IV has also been reported to be on the grounds.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Between 1611 and 1613, as the colonists moved west from Jamestown, several small parishes were formed, Weyanoke, Wallingford, and Wilmington, among others. These parishes later merged and became Westover Parish in 1625. In 1724 Westover Parish became and remains coterminous with Charles City County.</p><br>
<p>The predecessor of the existing Westover Church was constructed between 1630 and 1637 on the grounds at Westover. The present sanctuary was completed circa 1730 at its present site on Herring Creek about 1 ½ miles north of the Westover mansion.</p><br>
<p>The ending of support by public taxation for the Church at the start of the American Revolution in 1776, followed by the disestablishment of the Church of England in America in 1784 resulted in a period of decline. Westover Church was finally abandoned in 1803, and later even used as a barn for a period, during the three decades that services of the Protestant Episcopal Church of Virginia lapsed completely in Charles City County.</p><br>
<p>However, in about 1833 religious services were revived by a missionary to the county, the Reverend Parke Farley Berkeley. At this time the Church structure was repaired and restored, principally through the efforts of the Harrison family of nearby Berkley Plantation and the Carters of Shirley Plantation a few miles west.</p><br>
<p>During the American Civil War the church was badly damaged by Federal troops, who used the church as a stable for their horses. Following the war, services were restored in 1867 and Westover Church has been used faithfully ever since.</p><br>
<p>Worshipers at Westover have included farmers, plantation owners, slaves, as well as US Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, and Theodore Roosevelt.</p><br>
<p>Christ Episcopal Church, also known as Christ Church; Big Stone Gap, is a historic Episcopal church located at 100 Clinton Avenue in Big Stone Gap, Wise County, Virginia. It was built in 1892, and is a cruciform frame church. It is covered with weatherboard and the hipped roof has asphalt shingles. The interior features Gothic style details. Christ Church was organized as a congregation in October 1890 and is one of the oldest in this area.</p><br>
<p>Designed by T. Buckler Chequior of Baltimore, construction of the building began in March 1892 at a cost of $2300. The church was consecrated on May 7, 1892. Red barn paint was donated by J. K. Taggart, whose family still supplies the distinctive red color.</p><br>
<p>The altar was donated by the Nelson family from a mid-nineteenth century church in Restburg, VA. In 1915, the choir room in the southwest corner was added for $91. The second room was added in 1917. In 1942, the sanctuary and porch were enlarged, and the Parish Hall was built in 1964.</p><br>
<p>In 1987, the prayer rails were made from the original altar rails by J. Phelps Walker of Richmond, VA, father of Paxton Allgyer and given in memory of her mother, Josephine K. Walker. The chairs at the altar were given in memory of Margaret and Randolph Parker by their daughter, Emily Kendig of Richmond, VA. The vigil candles were given by Joan Short in memory of her parents, Abner and Madeline Boyd and in honor of the Canon 9 ministry of Rev. Ray Moore. The antique-cabinet above the vigil candles is from a British Anglican church and was donated by Pat Miller and Bill Miller of Abingdon. The Aumbry was donated by the Rev. and Mrs. Benjamin F. Wheless, Jr.</p><br>
<p>Designated a Virginia Historic Landmark on April 18, 1989, Christ Church was subsequently listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>Burkes Garden Central Lutheran Church, listed as Burkes Garden Central Church and Cemetery, is a historic Lutheran church, cemetery, and national historic district located at Burke&#39;s Garden, Tazewell County, Virginia. The church was built in 1875, and is a plain rectangular frame building, two bays long, with a steep gable roof. It originally served multiple denominations as a union church but has exclusively served the Lutheran denomination in modern times.</p><br>
<p>The community was an outpost of German immigrants who settled in the backcountry frontier in the late 18th century. The cemetery was founded in 1827, and contains a notable collection of sandstone Germanic gravestones.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>Old Brick Church  variously known as the Lawnes Creek Parish Church or the Lower Surry Church is a historic church in Bacon&#39;s Castle, Virginia.</p><br>
<p>The lower chapel of the Southwark Parish was a brick rectangular room church built in 1754 about a mile northwest of Bacon&#39;s Castle, in Surry County, Virginia. Its brick walls are irregularly laid in Flemish bond and English bond with a few glazed headers. The church remained abandoned from the Disestablishment of the Church of England in America until 1847. It was destroyed by a fire, reputedly set by recently freed slaves following the American Civil War in 1868, but its thick brick walls remained standing. Its ruins were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>The Old Brick Church was typical of the Virginia vernacular churches of the colonial period. Prior to its destruction it probably resembled other surviving 18th century brick rectangular room churches in Virginia such as the circa-1743 Merchant&#39;s Hope Church in Prince George County and the Ware Parish Church in Gloucester. Its walls were fairly well preserved until 2003, when a large oak tree in the churchyard was uprooted by high winds during Hurricane Isabel and fell on the ruins of the church, collapsing large portions of its walls. The ruins have since been stabilized, and many of the original bricks were saved. There are plans to reconstruct the walls and restore the church to its colonial appearance.</p><br>
<p>According to local folklore going back more than a century, the ruins of the Old Brick Church are said to be haunted. Many credible people young and old over several generations claim to have seen the flying fireball. Those who have seen it describe it as simply a ball of fire. It rises from the church cemetery into the air about forty feet and slowly drifts across the broad fields towards Bacon&#39;s Castle. A former owner of the plantation saw the fireball out of his window and rushed outside thinking his barn was ablaze. Another person staying at the 17th-century Jacobean mansion woke up to find the ball circling his bed before flying back out the window. Many years ago a church meeting was being held outside in the graveyard and everyone in attendance claimed to have seen the ball of fire.</p><br>
<p>The Enid Cemetery is a cemetery in Enid, Oklahoma. Together with the Calvary Catholic Cemetery, it has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1996. Opened in the 1890s, the two cemeteries were designed in the rural cemetery style. Only a portion of the Enid Cemetery contributes to the historical significance: the Original , First , Second , and Evergreen  additions. Together these encompasses a 967 by 1,318 ft area historical section.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Enid&#39;s earliest graves were located on the Hymen and Cora Anderson farm land, following the death of their one-year-old son Lee Stuart in 1897. In 1929, the Enid Cemetery Association expanded the Calvary land by 2 additional acres. The Calvary Catholic Cemetery contains a mausoleum built in 1904 for Ruth Sara Kennedy from white marble in the Neo-Classical Revival style.</p><br>
<p>The Enid Cemetery contains a white Georgia marble Art Deco, Neo-Classical Revival styled mausoleum built in 1921 by the Economy Mausoleum Company, a red brick Mission Revival style tool shed from 1927, and an Art Deco gate, reading Enid Cemetery 1897.</p><br>
<p>At least 430 original homesteaders from the Land Run of 1893 are buried here, including:</p><br>
<p>Mary Giles, a clerk at the Enid land office.</p><br>
<p>James T. Douthitt, an original homesteader, who was shot by his wife, Dollie in 1904. Later, Dollie Douthitt also wounded several people during a courthouse shooting spree.</p><br>
<p>Fredrick and Susan Dresser, original homesteaders who lived inside a dug-out creek bank, unable to afford construction of a house.</p><br>
<h2>Sections</h2><br>
<p>Black people were interred in Potters Field during segregation, and had a separate entrance to the cemetery. The plots in this section were the least expensive, and many of the graves are unmarked. Local legend holds that Boston Corbett, who shot the assassin John Wilkes Booth is buried in one of these unmarked graves. Corbett was known to have peddled medicine in Enid for W.W. Garrit and Company of Topeka. More famous to the Enid area, is a corpse that never received a burial—that of David E. George, a drifter, who claimed to be Booth himself, and committed suicide in Enids Grand Hotel in 1903. His body, ultimately claimed by his lawyer, Finis L. Bates, went on a nationwide tour for over 50 years before ultimately disappearing.</p><br>
<p>The Jewish section of the Enid Cemetery contains the graves of many early Enid merchants, including Herbert L. Kaufman, Milton Newman, Marinus Marcus Godschalk, and Abraham Herzberg, all of whom owned businesses in Enids downtown. Herbert Kaufmans house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and he operated Kaufmans Style Shop. Marinus Godschalk founded Enids first clothing store with Joseph Meiberg called Meiberg and Godschalk. Milton Newman ran Enids branch of Newman Mercantile. Abraham Herzberg founded Herzbergs Department Store and his house is a contributing property to the Waverley Historic District.</p><br>
<p>In the American Legion section, veterans from the Spanish–American War, the American Civil War, World War I, and World War II are laid to rest, often with bronze insignias representing the battles in which they fought. The Irvin McDowell Circle of the Grand Army of the Republic built a Civil War Memorial in 1917 and the United Commercial Travelers built a World War I Memorial in 1920. Grave markers also include insignias representing membership in the Masons, International Order of the Odd Fellows, the Woodmen of America, and the Grand Army of the Republic.</p><br>
<h2>Contributing historical objects</h2><br>
<p>Potter&#39;s Field, the Jewish section, and the Champlin family plot are all contributing sections of the cemetery.</p><br>
<p>The 1921 Neo-Classical Revival and Art Deco style white marble Mausoleum, the 1927 red-brown brick Mission Revival style tool shed, 1917 Red brick office building, 1914 Gazebo, 1929 Art Deco gate, and the Elm and cedar trees planted in 1923 are contributing objects. Several contributing objects are memorials to military service such as the American Legion plot with forty-eight graves of veterans, Union Veterans section of fourteen graves, World War I memorial to Garfield County veterans who died in service, and 1917 Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic Civil War monument to the unknown soldier. The Kennedy Mausoleum and open-air altar in the Calvary Catholic Cemetery.</p><br>
<p>Several grave markers also contribute to the historic significance of the cemetery: William F. Svarik (1909) in the Catholic cemetery, W.C. Conley (1889–1921) in Potter&#39;s Field, William Mason (1909–1936) and M.J. Adler (1867–1919) in the Jewish section, Lt. Commander Robert L. Strickler, Martha J Camden (1852–1926), Aviation Cadet John Willard Nivison (1922–1943), Allen B. Crandall, Opal Young (1899–1903), Lee Stuart Anderson (1896–1897), Frank James T. Douthitt (1904–1923), and the Mill family in the Enid Cemetery.</p><br>

<p>The Carl E. and Alice Candler Schmidt House is a private home located at 301 Lake Shore Rd. in Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>
<h2>Carl E. Schmidt</h2><br>
<p>Carl E. Schmidt was born in Detroit on December 31, 1858, the eldest son of Traugott Schmidt. He was educated in the schools of Detroit and Germany, and learned the tanning trade from his father. Schmidt worked in his father&#39;s firm, which exported skins, furs, and wool,</p><br>
<p>Schmidt was active in politics, serving as a member of the Detroit Board of Police Commissioners, the state board of arbitration and mediation, and the state board of forest inquiry. and political advisor to Hazen Pingree, who served as both mayor of Detroit and governor of Michigan.</p><br>
<p>In 1880, Schmidt married Alice M. Candler, the daughter of a prominent Detroit businessman. The couple had three daughters: Emma, Alice, and Ida.</p><br>
<h2>Ray Smith</h2><br>
<p>Ray Smiths parents purchased the property in the 1920s. At this time the property stretched from Lake Shore to at least Grosse Pointe Blvd. Ray Smith was an avid horticulturist and was a pioneer in the field of farming in Michigan. He was independently wealthy and thus never needed to support himself by working. Whenever he needed cash, he simply sold off a parcel of the land. Ray Smith never married, but was considered something of a playboy in his later years. He was a frequent escort of Eleanor Fords after her husband&#39;s death.</p><br>
<p>Smith&#39;s parents made some major changes to the property upon their purchase. The property was originally intended to only be used as a summer cottage and thus has only one closet on the first floor. It originally had an outdoor porch on the back side of the house. The Smiths closed that up and made it into a room with 9 large windows. The Smiths also combined three rooms on the Kerby side of the home to form one great room. Perhaps one of the biggest changes, however, was the removal of the front porch.</p><br>
<h2>1990s Remodel</h2><br>
<p>When the third owners moved in, they too remodeled the home, however not to the extent of the 1920s remodel. The third owners completely redesigned the kitchen from the ground up. Interestingly, they found several layers of flooring in the kitchen that had been put on top of each other including linoleum and wood. They redid the flooring in the great room. They redid the plaster in the butlers pantry only to later find out that pipes above the redo were leaking, so everything would have to be taken out, the pipes replaced, and then put back in. A large amount of plaster repair took place as well as some modernization. New pipes were put in on the first floor. A new gas furnace was installed to replace the coal fired furnace that was being used into the 1990s. Upstairs, new showers were put in to replace two old ones. The servants quarters were turned into a variety of rooms including two guest bedrooms, an office and a laundry room. A new mudroom was added to the back entrance, and the former servants&#39; dining room was turned into the breakfast room.</p><br>
<h2>Interesting facts</h2><br>
<p>Despite the age of the home (107 years), the home has only changed hands twice, the Schmidts to the Smiths and the Smiths to the current owners. Ray Smith owned the home for the majority of the time.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Carl E. and Alice Candler Schmidt House was built in 1904. The Grosse Pointe Historical Society has incorrectly stated 1909, and as a result, many publications have copied that date incorrectly as referenced in the below source. It is a shingle style house with Tudor influences. When the house was built, it was a strip farm. The property stretched at least to what is now Grosse Pointe Bvld. The original carriage house still stands on the corner of Grosse Pointe Blvd and Kerby. After being sold by Ray Smith to raise cash, it was painted white and converted into a single family home.</p><br>
<p>The Julius Boesel House is a historic house near the village of New Bremen in the northwestern part of the USA state of Ohio.</p><br>
<p>Said to be designed by J.A. Chapin of Lima, the design of the house is based heavily on Design No. 53 from George Franklin Barber&#39;s Cottage Souvenir #2. The house was built for Julius Boesel, a leading member of New Bremen society. The design mixed brick and frame construction, sitting atop a stone foundation, to produce this twenty-room, two-and-a-half story house. Included on the property was a massive carriage house.</p><br>
<p>After being extensively modified in the third quarter of the twentieth century, the house was purchased in 1976 by Donald and Jacqui Kuck, who began a long-term restoration program. Included in their program was the removal of intrusive elements such as lowered ceilings and carpets on the walls. The Kucks were able to restore the house to the point that it qualified for addition to the National Register of Historic Places, and it was listed on the Register on March 30, 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Michigan Central Railroad Depot  opened on July 27, 1888, in Battle Creek, MI. Rogers and MacFarlane of Detroit designed the depot, one of several Richardsonian Romanesque-style stations between Detroit and Chicago in the late nineteenth century. Thomas Edison as well as Presidents William Howard Taft and Gerald Ford visited here. The depot was acquired by the New York Central Railroad in 1918, Penn Central in 1968 and Amtrak in 1970. The depot was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.</p><br>
<p>Masonry of Lake Superior red sandstone, noted for its distinctive patterns, provides one of the most striking aspects of the Depot’s exterior. Another prominent feature of the Depot is its clock tower.</p><br>
<p>In 1982, Amtrak moved operations to a newer facility located five blocks to the south on the Grand Trunk Western Railroad line, as part of a line consolidation that saw Conrail&#39;s ex-New York Central line through downtown closed and removed. The current Amtrak station services the Detroit to Chicago, and the Port Huron, MI to Chicago routes. The Michigan Central Depot sat empty for seven years.</p><br>
<p>In 1989 restaurateurs Peter Jubeck and Ross Simpson purchased the depot and transformed it into a restaurant named Clara’s on the River which opened June 8, 1992. Claras on the River is a sister restaurant to Claras Lansing Station, located in the Union Depot (Lansing, Michigan).</p><br>

<p>The Lima Memorial Hall is a historic performing arts center and city hall on the edge of downtown Lima, Ohio, United States. Designed by the architectural company of Dawson & McLaughlin and named for local military veterans, the Beaux-Arts building was built in 1908. A dominating aspect of its architecture is the massive marble staircase that rises from the foyer to a second-floor open balcony.</p><br>
<p>As a performing arts center, Memorial Hall has hosted concerts by John Philip Sousa&#39;s band, Victor Borge, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, and singers from the Boston and Chicago opera companies. It no longer serves as the city hall; the municipal offices are now located on Public Square at the center of the city.</p><br>
<p>In 1979, Memorial Hall was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Both its architecture and its contribution to local history were significant enough to qualify it for listing by themselves.</p><br>
<p>The Bloomvale Historic District is located east of the hamlet of Salt Point, New York, United States. It is a collection of buildings and structures around the intersection of Clinton Corners Road , state highway NY 82 and the East Branch of Wappinger Creek. Most of it is in the Town of Pleasant Valley; the eastern portion is in the Town of Washington.</p><br>
<p>The village (and thus the district) was named after Isaac Bloom, a landowner and politician in the area during and after the Revolutionary War who built a Federal style mansion and operated the first mill on the creek (and thus sometimes historically known as Blooms Mill or Bloomdale). By the mid-19th century it had grown into a small industrial town around what was now a cotton mill. After a fire destroyed the mill, the community faded away in the early 20th century. A later owner was able to use the remaining facilities as a cider mill until almost the middle of the century. In 1991 the dam, the remaining mill buildings, and some of the houses were grouped into a historic district and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The district is an irregularly shaped 38 acre parcel extending east and west from the junction of Route 82 and Clinton Corners. Its boundaries are those of the lots with the contributing properties on them. The creek forms the boundary on the east and southeast.</p><br>
<p>The area is wooded, with little land cleared around the buildings and structures. There are a total of five buildings and eight structures in the district, most of which relate to the area&#39;s history as a mill site and date to the 19th century. Two of the buildings (a house and modern garage), and one of the structures (a swimming pool), are not considered to be contributing properties. The entire area is also considered a site with potential for archeological investigations, making it the 11th contributing property.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Originally built to attract settlement to the region, the mill property has passed through three distinct phases of use during its period of historical significance. It remained a gristmill and sawmill, supporting the areas farmers, into the mid-19th century, well after Blooms ownership. Redeveloped as an industrial cotton mill, it led to expansion of the area&#39;s population, despite frequent changes of ownership for a quarter-century, until a fire destroyed it. In the early 20th century a new owner built a cider mill on the site although it is not known whether it was commercially successful or not.</p><br>
<h3>1730s–1839: Gristmill and sawmill</h3><br>
<p>The first record of a mill at Bloomvale is a 1749 deed for a nearby tract that describes it as being "west of the kill that Isaac Filkins grist mill stands on." Filkins had inherited the land from his father Henry, one of the Great Nine Partners of the area&#39;s royal land grant. 11 years earlier, in 1738; it is not known if there was a mill at that time. There is a strong possibility that there was as most large landowners had set them up on their holdings by that time, in order to encourage European settlement.</p><br>
<p>The mill continued to be referred to as "Filkins mill" in land records for the rest of the century. Sometime around the Revolution, though, it became just a name, as Isaac Filkins sold the mill property to a younger man named Isaac Bloom, who may have come to Dutchess County from what is now Brooklyn. The younger man signed a 1775 deed for a nearby property as a witness, and Benson Lossings 1852 Pictorial History of the Revolution records the Continental Army encamped at "Bloom&#39;s Mills." That name may be anachronistic, but by 1781 another local deed references Bloom as a nearby landowner, and in 1785 he took out a mortgage on 277 acre that contained the current mill property.</p><br>
<p>Bloom&#39;s 1808 obituary records that he was in the local militia during the Revolutionary War. After independence, he continued to devote himself to public service. He served as the first town clerk after the war, in Clinton, of which Bloomvale was still part at that time. After service as a county judge, a title he kept for most of his life, he was elected to the New York State Assembly and later the State Senate. At the time of his death he had been elected to the USA House of Representatives and was awaiting the start of his term.</p><br>
<p>Bloomvale was his country seat, and he built the large Federal style mansion on the southwest corner of the two roads around 1801. It is angled diagonally, to face the mill and the creek. Its decoration and size epitomize the highest of the Federal style in rural Dutchess County of that time. Today the building is the most architecturally significant in the district.</p><br>
<p>After Isaac Blooms death, his estate was divided among his six surviving children and the children of a seventh who had died before him. The complicated and delicate subdivision of his land this entailed required that it be surveyed accurately, and this was done in 1809, adding considerably to the historical record. It shows that the mill property was separated from the house, and two new farms created. The deed records from this period are confusing, but show that Jonathan Bloom, the son who began living in the house after his father died, acquired four shares of the estate from his siblings. The proceeds from the subdivision were used to settle the estates debts.</p><br>
<p>A mortgage the family took out was nevertheless allowed to default, and in 1826 the Blooms lost the properties to a William Thurston of New York City. Four years later, in 1830, he in turn sold it to Rowland Hazard of South Kingstown, Rhode Island. His family was already involved in the emerging textile industry, with wool and cotton mills in South Carolina and Pennsylvania in addition to their native state. The Bloom property was the latest in a series of acquisitions related to that, moving up the Wappinger Creek valley, where agricultural output was declining to the point that it could no longer sustain the original gristmills.</p><br>
<h3>1840–1875: Cotton mill</h3><br>
<p>Hazard was unable to industrialize the Bloom mill, since it is still described as a sawmill and gristmill in his 1839 will. His wife and daughters subdivided the farm property, which they continued to live on, and leased the mill to an Isaac Merritt and Charles Frost in 1845, on the condition that the two built a cotton mill and housing at their own expense within a decade. By 1850, they had done so, since it is depicted on a contemporary county map. According to the 1850 census&#39;s industrial schedule, the mill employed 35 and produced 30,000 lb of cotton yarn per year. That record also refers to its location as Bloomvale, the first recorded use of that name.</p><br>
<p>The only recorded use of "Bloomdale" is on the 1856 deed from the Hazards sale of the property to Troy industrialist David Thomas Vail, for $6,000 ($ in contemporary dollars). It is possible that it was a misnomer. The deed also suggests that Merritt and Frost fulfilled the terms of their lease but did not renew it, since a Charick Rosencranz is given as the mill operator. Vails purchase may have purely speculative, or a way of buying the Hazards out, since the next year he resold the property to Rosencranz for $20,000 ($ in contemporary dollars).</p><br>
<p>The high purchase price led Rosencranzs mortgage, like the Blooms, into default. In 1862 a man named Benjamin Pond acquired the property after foreclosure for $2,100 ($ in contemporary dollars). Rosencranz apparently remained as its manager or in some significant capacity since the 1870 censuss industrial schedule calls it "Rosencranz and Ponds Bloomvale Factory". By that time, it employed 60 and had increased production to 208,000 lb annually. Bloomvale was a thriving industrial village, and Pond gave $10,000 for the construction of a Dutch Reformed Church chapel for it, an outgrowth of a Sunday school he had started for workers&#39; children.</p><br>
<p>Two years after the census, Pond sold the mill to a group of investors from Philadelphia for $17,000 ($ in contemporary dollars). He had to foreclose on them three years later, in 1875. The property was sold at auction for $3,916 ($ in contemporary dollars) to another Philadelphia man, Henry Carson.</p><br>
<p>This period of the mill&#39;s history is sketchy. Local lore holds that the cotton mill burned down in 1873, but it is difficult to tell from the written record, since all the property transfers from this period refer to the "Bloomvale Factory." The 1875 sale price, the first one after the date of the fire, is the lowest although it is hard to tell since the value of the property had fluctuated wildly. Carson owned the property for 22 years, for purposes unknown. By the time his heirs sold it to Susan Titus in 1897, the price had dropped to $2,500 ($ in contemporary dollars), the lowest until she sold it to Edwin Swezey, an engineer from Brooklyn, for $1 ($ in contemporary dollars).</p><br>
<h3>1876–present: Cider mill</h3><br>
<p>The workers had gradually moved out after the fire, and the last vestige of Bloomvales industrial prime ended when the chapel stopped holding services in 1910. Swezey, who expanded the mill property to 500 acre, built a 40 ft-square cider mill out of the ruined stones from the cotton mill, with help from reinforced concrete and steel, in 1913. Swezey hired Frank Vitale, an Italian immigrant from Brooklyn, NY, to perform the stone masonry work for the rebuilding of the mill. Swezey also restored the managers house and one of the surviving workers&#39; houses.</p><br>
<p>In 1919 the Bloom mansion, somewhat neglected by a succession of owners during the previous century save for the addition of a veranda and kitchen wing, received new attention. New owners, and local historians, recognized its historic importance and kept it to better standards as Dutchess County began to become a popular weekend home site for wealthy New Yorkers. The construction of the Taconic State Parkway, which passes nearby, over the next several decades made it easily accessible by automobile from the city and thus even more attractive.</p><br>
<p>Swezey may or may not have been successful with his cider mill, but he continued to subdivide and sell portions of the onetime Bloom property for the rest of his life. After his death in 1945, his widow sold the mill property and 50 acre to Joseph DeNatale of Yonkers. In 1950 the house&#39;s veranda was removed; in 1989 the chapel was demolished. The present owner has combined most of the surviving mill properties into one parcel.</p><br>
<h2>Contributing properties</h2><br>
<p>There are five buildings and eight structures within the district. Of these 13 resources, 10 are considered contributing properties. In addition the entire district is considered an additional resource for what it might yield in archeological investigations.</p><br>
<h3>Bloom House</h3><br>
<p>Isaac Bloom built this five-bay two-story clapboard-sided side-gabled Federal style mansion in approximately 1801, at the height of his prosperity. Its front facade facing northeast, allowing a view of the mill property. Exterior decoration includes a Palladian window, door sidelights and leaded glass transom. Windows have splayed block lintels, scored and keyed to look like masonry. The roof line is accentuated with blocked modillions that form pediments on the gable ends. In the front is a paved terrace with broad steps descending to the lawn.</p><br>
<p>Inside the house follows a central hall plan with large rooms in the front on either side and smaller ones in back that has been minimally altered. Most of the interior trim is restrained. Doors are paneled on only one side, and the cherry stair rail has no additional finish. The most decorated piece in the house is one of the parlor fireplaces, which has carved in its mantelpiece swags flanking a central urn under the shelf with garlands hanging down the flanking pilasters. The firebox complements this with a gray marble surround. Picture windows have been added to the rear of both first floor rooms.</p><br>
<p>The second floor is similarly furnished but with even more restraint. In the attic the open rafters allow a view of the craftsmanship involved in the queen post framing; it has been left unfinished. The basement has been renovated into additional living space.</p><br>
<p>During the 19th century, a kitchen wing was added to the south and a veranda, since removed, added to the front. Two other buildings are amid the five acres (2 ha) of lawns and landscaping on the property, a contributing wellhouse and noncontributing garage. Barns that were once on the property no longer exist; one was replaced with the garage. The swimming pool to its south is the only non-contributing structure in the district.</p><br>
<h3>Mill complex</h3><br>
<p>The 1913 stone cider mill, its 2½-foot–thick (2.5 ft) walls built partly with stones from the ruined cotton mill, sits to the south of the creek a short distance east of Route 82. It has since been converted into a house. A small shed behind it is the other non-contributing property in the district. To the house&#39;s northwest on either side of the creek are the remaining stone abutments from the 18th-century road and bridge at the site. No remnants of the sawmill/gristmill from that time have been discovered.</p><br>
<p>Further east, along the creek, a high table that creates a waterfall marks the site of the 19th-century cotton mill, with a mill pond still behind it. Foundation and ground floor wall sections are all that remain of the 45 by two-story structure. To the north and east are smaller remains of foundations, the sites of two workers&#39; homes. Further east is another, smaller foundation, the remnants of an icehouse.</p><br>
<p>The only surviving workers home is to the south of the mill site, on a rise above the road. The former mill managers house further south is still extant. It has been altered and enlarged and is no longer considered sufficiently historic, so the district boundaries were drawn to exclude it.</p><br>
<p>Wild&#39;s Mill Complex  was among the last remaining industrial buildings in the formerly thriving milling community of Valatie, Columbia County, New York, United States. It was located southeast of the intersection between USA Route 9 and State Route 203. A five-story brick structure, it served as an historical landmark and its 5.5 acre lot contained the ruins of a previous mill. It was situated along the west bank of the Kinderhook Creek.</p><br>
<p>The original northern section of the building was built in 1846, at 144 ft long and 56 ft wide. Its builder is unknown. A large addition was constructed around 1890. The owner of the mills, Nathan Wild, emigrated from England in the early 19th century and ultimately moved to Columbia County.</p><br>
<p>After Wild&#39;s death in 1867, his sons gained responsibility of the mills. The southern mill was bought by William Harder, who built the addition, in 1890. Modified into a paper mill in the 1890s, the northern mill eventually burned during the 1950s. The southern mill continued to produce cotton products until 1956. A two-story Federal-style building between the two mills was marked as the mill office on early maps, and has since been converted into a residence. However, it is considered an uncommon instance of a standing early 19th-century office building. Among the earliest textile mill complexes in Columbia County,</p><br>
<p>The Hugh T. Rinehart House  is a historic house located near Uniopolis in Union Township, Auglaize County, Ohio, United States. A brick structure built in 1861, it was once the home of one of the most prominent citizens of early Auglaize County. It has been designated a historic site because of its high degree of preservation.</p><br>
<h2>Hugh T. Rinehart</h2><br>
<p>Born in 1813, Hugh T. Rinehart was raised on a farm in Tazewell County, Virginia. At the age of twenty, approximately three years after being apprenticed to a blacksmith, he married the former Juliana Godfrey, also a native of Tazewell County. Three years later, they moved to Union Township where he carved a farm out of the wilderness; they were among the first settlers of what today is eastern Auglaize County. Juliana lived on the farm until her death in 1881 and Hugh until 1891. Rinehart was a leading member of Auglaize County society as well as a longtime local politician: he served as a justice of the peace for fifteen years and was twice an unsuccessful candidate for a seat in the Ohio General Assembly. He was also one of the original county commissioners elected at the organization of Auglaize County in 1848.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Rinehart built the current house in 1861 along the road between Waynesfield and Wapakoneta, which is now State Route 67. Its architecture is simple: the overall plan is a rectangle, three bays on all four sides, and one-and-one-half stories in height. Inside, the house is built primarily of walnut wood panelling that closely resembles its original state.</p><br>
<h2>Recognition</h2><br>
<p>In 1978, the Rinehart House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It fit National Register qualifying criterion "B" because of its connection to Hugh T. Rinehart and qualifying criterion "C" because it was an unusually well-preserved period house in the region. Five smaller buildings were included with the house as contributing properties.</p><br>
<p>The Nathan Wild House is an historic building in Valatie, Columbia County, New York, United States. Built by Nathan Wild, a prominent local figure, in 1826, the original Federal-style building was continually expanded throughout the years as the Wild family&#39;s textile mills in the area flourished. The residence was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1991 as a result of its historical and architectural significance.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Nathan Wild House is located on Main Street (New York State Route 203) in the village of Valatie, 18 mi south of Albany, New York. It is situated on a 3.7 acres lot, which extends a full block. The house itself faces southward toward the road. It was built as a two-story, wood-frame Federal-style structure and eventually expanded using Italianate architecture. Several wings were added onto the residence after its initial construction, as well as a ballroom, which was built before 1873 off the west wing. A porch is located on the front facade, and a small back porch was added to the main section around 1850. The building&#39;s interior does not contain much of its original detail as a result of extensive remodeling at the same time. Since the home was profiled in History of Columbia County, New York (1873) by Franklin Ellis, it has not undergone any major changes.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Shortly after 1800, Nathan Wild and his brother James moved from Manchester to the United States. After his employment at the Slater Mill Historic Site in Rhode Island, he migrated to Columbia County, where he was contracted by the Columbia Manufacturing Society to oversee the construction of a cotton mill. By the 1820s, Columbia Countys economy relied significantly upon cotton and wool production. Ultimately, four years later, he built a new mill, using the first power looms in New York State. Another mill was built on the same property nearly 20 years later, and collectively, the Wilds Mill Complex had 12,800 spindles and 175 workers. The last remaining structure on the complex was demolished around 1986.</p><br>
<p>In 1826, Wild built a residence, where he, his wife and his nine children lived. The textile business expanded, and as a result of his wealth, local prominence as one of the founders of Valatie, and growing family, he added to the home and redesigned it. The home gained its modern-day appearance in the 1870s, and it was owned by the Wild family until 1978. The property is both historically and architecturally significant; its design is reminiscent of Valaties milling era. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991, and as of 2000 it was being considered for inclusion within the related Register listing for Wilds Mill Complex. Currently the Nathan Wild House has been restored to a private home, after several years&#39; operation as a bed and breakfast.</p><br>
<p>St. Pauls Episcopal Church, Exton, also known as St. Pauls Church, is a historic church at 1105 E. Lincoln Highway in Exton, Pennsylvania in Chester County, Pennsylvania, in the area known as the Great Valley. It was built in 1828 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984 as St. Paul&#39;s Church. It is one of the 155 parish churches of the Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Founded in 1828, St. Paul’s is the second oldest religious congregation in West Whiteland Township in continual existence, following Grove Methodist Church. It was built along the Lancaster Pike, the first turnpike in the United States, and a major route to the west from Philadelphia. The church is historically linked to St. David’s at Radnor, St. Peter&#39;s Church in the Great Valley and Christ Church, of Greenville, Delaware from the time when Episcopal churches in the area shared rectors.</p><br>
<p>The cornerstone laying ceremony in 1828 was of statewide significance, with John Andrew Shulze, the Governor of Pennsylvania, attending, as well as Bishop William White, Presiding Bishop of Pennsylvania, and of the Episcopal Church in the United States, and the Rev. Brinckle, rector of both St. Peter’s and St. David’s. The Great Valley was predominately Quaker in 1828, and about 75% of the founding members were of Quaker heritage. They may have changed religious membership because their participation in the United States military during or after the American Revolution violated Quaker pacifist beliefs. Or they may have left their Quaker roots because of the Separation of 1828 between Quaker Hicksite and Orthodox branches.</p><br>
<p>The Church Farm School was founded as a farm and industrial school for boys in 1918 by the Rev. Dr. Charles W. Shreiner about 300 yards west of the church. From 1921–1948 Shreiner served as rector of St. Paul&#39;s, as well as Headmaster of the Church Farm School.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>St. Paul’s was built in 1828-29 with major Gothic alterations added in 1872. It was built as a 44-foot x 60 foot one story structure with a plain gable roof. The pews formed around double aisles facing the pulpit at the south end between two doors which formed the main entrance. In 1872 the church was rebuilt keeping the same walls and roof. On the south façade a vestibule and spired bell tower were erected. The pulpit was moved to the north end and a 12’ X 17’ chancel with a triplet window was added there with two 12’ x 12’ rooms, a library and a robing room. New pews, which incorporated a pointed Gothic arch, faced north along a single central aisle. An organ gallery was added as well.</p><br>
<p>Most prominent is the Lychgate at the old entrance to the church. In colonial times through to the mid 1900s, the Lychgate was the place where the unclean would stop and wait until the priest arrived to bless them. In the Judeo–Christian tradition a dead body was considered unclean or unholy. So the pall bearers would carry the body to the Lychgate there priest would greet the pall bearers and mourners. It is under this Lychgate that the priest conducted the first part of the funeral service under its temporary shelter. Once the body was blessed, it could enter upon hallowed or blessed ground. Generally, the ground outside a church is not considered sacred. But, when the church in constructed in or next to a cemetery then the ground in and around the Church has been consecrated. So, it is with St. Paul’s, immediately beyond the East wall is the 200-year-old cemetery.</p><br>
<p>This combination circumstances demonstrates the significance of the Lychgate to not only the orthodox Christian but to the historical authenticity of church structure.</p><br>
<p>The Rectory was built in 1884 – 5. In 1928 the triplet window was replaced by a window designed by the D’Ascenzo Studios of Philadelphia, donated by the Rev. W. L. Bull.</p><br>
<p>The Neely–Sieber House is a historic house on the west side of Lima, Ohio, United States. the house combines elements of the Colonial Revival and Georgian architectural styles.</p><br>
<h2>Owners</h2><br>
<p>This three-story brick house is named for its first and second owners, John D. Neely and Frank X. Sieber. An oil baron from Oklahoma, Neely lived in the house for fifteen years until his 1919 shooting death in the western United States. Five years later, the property was purchased by Sieber, a leading Lima businessman; he and his family owned the house for over fifty years.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Located at 620 W. Spring Street, the Neely–Sieber House is a fine example of early twentieth-century Lima residential architecture. As the home of an oil baron, it was one of many grand buildings in the city erected in the wake of the discovery of petroleum near Lima in 1885. The house&#39;s three floors are divided into twenty-six rooms, many of which are decorated with chandeliers, carven mahogany panelling, and hand-painted ceilings. Among these rooms are a grand ballroom and quarters for the household servants.</p><br>
<p>The houses exterior is dominated by a large veranda that wraps around the houses front and western sides. Brick walls are supported by a stone foundation and topped by a roof of asbestos. Above the main entrance is a broken pediment and a semi-circular transom, and three third-floor dormer windows pierce the front of the roof.</p><br>
<h3>Similar buildings</h3><br>
<p>Many houses similar to the Neely–Sieber House were built on Limas west side around the turn of the twentieth century, but few remain. Some of the best examples of period residential architecture once lined West Market Street just west of the citys central square, but most of these houses were destroyed in the 1960s after rezoning; only the MacDonall House survived.</p><br>
<h2>Recognition</h2><br>
<p>In 1976, the Neely–Sieber House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. As one of the most elegant houses ever built in Lima, and as one of the few surviving mansions on the city&#39;s west side, it was seen as deserving of historic preservation primarily because of its historically significant architecture. Several other historic Lima houses are also listed on the National Register: the MacDonall House was added in 1978, and a group of thirty-five houses on the far western end of Market Street were designated the West Market Street Boulevard Historic District in 2004.</p><br>
<p>The Lorentz River  is located in the Indonesian province of Papua in Western New Guinea. It originates in the central east-west mountain range of New Guinea, and flows southwards into the Arafura Sea at Flamingo Bay. During the first two Dutch expeditions to Southern New Guinea  it was called Northern River. In 1910 it was renamed after the Dutch explorer Hendrikus Albertus Lorentz. After it became part of Indonesia, it was renamed to Unir, as in the language of the local Asmat people, while the Lorentz name is still in use.</p><br>
<p>At the beginning of the 20th century the navigable part of the river played an important role in the exploration of Dutch New Guinea in western New Guinea. Three large Dutch expeditions led from the mouth upstream to the central snow-capped mountains, which were still unexplored. The aim of the expeditions was to cover the Wilhelmina summit (now called Puncak Trikora ) covered by "eternal snow". The first of the three South New Guinea expeditions failed before the mountain could be reached. The second expedition reached the snow-capped foot of Wilhelmina, but it was only during the third expedition that the mountain could be conquered on 21 February 1913.</p><br>
<p>Wesley Brethren Church is an historic church in Wesley, Texas, United States. The church was built in 1866. It was designated a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1966 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>The church is mostly built with hand cut native logs. Directly above the doors is a hand painted sign bearing the message: "JA JSEM TA CESTA I PRAVDA I ZIVOT SLOVA JEZISEKRISTA", meaning "I am the way, the truth, and the light, the words of Jesus Christ" in Czech. Inside the church, much of the wall and ceiling surface has elaborate and detailed hand painting, added between 1889 and 1891.</p><br>
<p>Rev. Josef Opocensky organized the first Czech Protestant and Moravian Brethren congregation in North America in 1864 at Veseli (now Wesley). The Wesley Brethren church, erected in 1886, served as a school between 1866 and 1900 and as a museum by 1989. Among his supporters and the first Czech and Moravian settlers in that part of Washington County, Texas and Austin County, Texas (Wesley and Latium) were former members of his congregation in Zádveřice in Moravia, and pioneers to Texas: Peter Mikeska, Jiri "George" Psencik, Josef Skrivanek, Mataus Rubac, Paul Sebesta, Tom Chupik (father of Johanna, wife of Rev. Ludvik Chlumsky), Frank Sebesta, Ernest Schuerer (married to Marie Opocensky, niece of Rev. J.O, Karl Rypl, Vinc Silar, Josef Rypl, Josef Silar, Jan Zabcik, Josef Jezek, Jan Baletka, Josef Masik. Rev. Josef Opocensky died July 17, 1870, and is buried in the cemetery adjacent to the church.</p><br>
<p>Antioch Missionary Baptist Church is a historic Baptist church at 313 Robin Street in Downtown Houston, Texas. It was historically a part of the Fourth Ward.</p><br>
<p>The church originated from a brush arbor along the Buffalo Bayou. It was built in 1875 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>Jack Yates once served as the pastor of this church.</p><br>
<p>As of 2003 the church has a "Jesus Saves" sign. Rod Davis of the San Antonio Express-News said that the presence of the sign, which "still makes a footnote to the downtown skyscrapers," was "evidence that the oldest African American Baptist church (1875) in the city thrives as well as it did when the Rev. Jack Yates, a former slave, served as its first pastor."</p><br>
<p>Bethel Baptist Church is a historic Baptist church building at 801 Andrews in Houston, Texas.</p><br>
<p>The Late Gothic Revival building was constructed in 1923 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The original Bethel Church building was constructed in 1889 as a haven for former slaves and was entirely constructed of wood. Built by the Reverend Jack Yates, the plot was located in Houston&#39;s Freedmantown district. The original structure was destroyed in the Great Storm of 1900. Between 1900 and 1920, a second church structure was erected on top of the remains but it too was later destroyed. Twenty three years later, the church was reconstructed for a third and final time.</p><br>
<p>In 1997, the last church service was held in the building after which it was abandoned.</p><br>
<p>On January 24, 2005, a fire destroyed the interior of the church, leaving only the exterior brickwork intact."The roof, all the interior and even the church&#39;s back wall had been destroyed; all that was left were three walls, some concrete supports and the concrete floor."</p><br>
<p>In 2009, the church was sold to the City of Houston. Soon thereafter, the city erected steel supports and a concrete floor to preserve the building.</p><br>
<p>The City Cemetery of Raleigh, also known as Old City Cemetery, was authorized in 1798 by the North Carolina General Assembly as Raleighs first burying ground. It was laid out on 4 acre of land just outside the original 1792 eastern boundary of Raleigh and bounded by East Street on the west, East Hargett Street on the south, and Morgan Street on the north. It was originally laid out in four equal quarters with the northern two quarters reserved for residents, the southwestern for visitors, and the southeastern for Negroes, both free and slaves. Over time, the cemetery has gradually been enlarged toward New Bern Street in 1819, 1849, and 1856 and now contains approximately 7.5 acre. The cemetery was enclosed in 1898 by a cast-iron fence that was formerly around Union Square to keep straying livestock out of the State Capitol grounds. A network of cobblestone driveways with granite curbstones run though the cemetery. In 1857, the city boundaries were extended to include the cemetery, and the city charter provided for a resident caretaker. Many persons of Raleighs and North Carolina&#39;s early period are interred at City Cemetery including governors, mayors, politicians, newspaper editors, military officers, ministers, doctors, planters, attorneys, bankers, and Scottish and English stonemasons who helped build the Capitol.</p><br>
<p>City Cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on 12 September 2008.</p><br>

<p>The Metropolitan Block is a historic commercial building along North Main Street in downtown Lima, Ohio, United States. Built in 1890 at the middle of Lima&#39;s petroleum boom, it is historically significant as a well-preserved example of Romanesque Revival architecture.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Metropolitan Block is a five-story building constructed in a Victorian version of the Romanesque Revival style. Built primarily of brick, the block includes many stone details throughout its exterior, supporting elements of cast iron on the first floor, and the original glass windows of its storefronts. Among the building&#39;s decorative elements are transom windows of lavender-colored glass above the entrances, awnings of canvas covering the sidewalks around the building, and turrets at the top of the facade.</p><br>
<h2>Related buildings</h2><br>
<p>Many elaborate buildings were constructed in downtown Lima during the oil boom of the 1880s and 1890s, including the adjacent Renz Block and many buildings on South Main Street; however, the Metropolitan Block is the only major building of the period not to have been significantly modified.</p><br>
<p>During the early twentieth century, the establishment of Standard Oil offices in Lima and the increasing size of the Lima Locomotive Works led to the construction of more ornate buildings in the city&#39;s downtown. Among these structures were the Elks Lodge and Ohio Theatre, located less than one city block away on North Street.</p><br>
<h2>Recognition</h2><br>
<p>In 1979, the Metropolitan Block was added to the National Register of Historic Places in recognition of its unusually well-preserved architecture. A remaining portion of the Miami and Erie Canal and four Lima buildings, including the Allen County Courthouse across Main Street from the Metropolitan Block, had previously been listed on the National Register. In 1982, nearly twenty other buildings in the city were added to the National Register as part of the "Lima Multiple Resource Area," a group of architecturally-significant buildings in the city&#39;s downtown. Among the buildings included in this collection were the Renz Block, the Ohio Theatre, the Elks Lodge, and several buildings on the nearby Public Square.</p><br>
<p>Cherry Hill is an unincorporated community, located at the corner of Cherry Hill and Ridge Roads in Canton Township, in Wayne County, Michigan. The Cherry Hill Historic District is a primarily residential historic district encompassing the greater part of Cherry Hill. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Cherry Hill, settled in 1825, was an early crossroads hamlet in Canton Township. The town was originally called "Ridge" (also the origin of "Ridge Road") due to its position atop the ridge shore of an ancient lake. The town of Ridge soon followed suit, and changed its name to "Cherry Hill." Hitchcock&#39;s inn was used later as a general store and a dance hall, becoming the social center of the community for generations.</p><br>
<p>The Ypsi Creamery was located in Cherry Hill, after which the Detroit Creamery (later the Wilson Dairy) operated until 1940.</p><br>
<p>Cherry Hill is the last of the five hamlets in Canton Township to retain substantial historic significance; it also endured as a commercial and social hub until the 1960s.</p><br>
<h2>Community development</h2><br>
<p>In 2000, construction began on the Cherry Hill Village residential development in the area. The development included over 750 houses, parks, and a town center with a community theatre. The development emphasized traditional architecture and site plans to evoke a neotraditional small town feel.</p><br>
<h2>Historic District description</h2><br>
<p>The Cherry Hill Historic District contains buildings facing Cherry Hill and Ridge Roads near their intersection. These include the Cherry Hill House, the only Italianate building in the township, the Gothic Revival Cherry Hill United Methodist Church and associated cemetery, the Cherry Hill School, the Thomas and Maria Blackman Bartlett House, the Thomas and Isabella Moore Clyde House, buildings used for one of Henry Ford&#39;s Village Industry projects, and other farmhouses and associated outbuildings in the area.</p><br>
<p>The William B. and Mary Chase Stratton House is a private house located at 938 Three Mile Dr. in Grosse Pointe Park, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The William B. and Mary Chase Stratton House was built as a collaborative venture between husband-and-wife William Buck Stratton (an architect) and Mary Chase Perry Stratton (a ceramicist). The two-story house is constructed of hollow tile with steel beams faced with varicolored brick shading from brown to beige. The house is irregularly massed and crowned with a low-pitched roof covered with unglazed tiles of Pewabic Pottery, produced by Mary Chase Perry Stratton&#39;s company which is a National Historic Landmark in Detroit.</p><br>
<p>The house design was heavily influenced by the Arts and Crafts Movement, and the Strattons used natural material, texture, and color to create an original and masterly composition. The interior of the house holds a simple elegance, and is notable for the fine composition and harmony both within the house and between the interior and the landscaped grounds.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>William Stratton began his planning for the house in 1912, six years before he married Mary Chase Perry in 1918. The home in Grosse Pointe was built in 1927.</p><br>
<p>The John T. Woodhouse House is a private house located at 33 Old Brook Ln. in Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>
<h2>John T. Woodhouse</h2><br>
<p>John Thompson Woodhouse was born in 1864 in Brantford, Ontario, and came with his family to Detroit in 1874. In 1880 he became a clerk at the M.L. Wagner Company, a small tobacco</p><br>
<p>products manufacturing company. By 1881 he was a partner in the firm, and from there on the company flourished. By 1892 the name had changed to the Wagner and Woodhouse Company, and by 1901 the company became the John T. Woodhouse & Company. By 1911, Woodhouse was the president and sole owner of the company.</p><br>
<p>Woodhouse had married Alice Goodyear; together they had five children. However, Alice died in 1911. Woodhouse remarried in 1913 to his second wife, Elizabeth, but the couple divorced in 1925. In the meantime, John T. Woodhouse & Company continued to grow, and moved into a new headquarters in downtown Detroit where Hart Plaza is now located. Om 1917, Woodhouse hired George D. Mason to construct this house. It was built between 1918 and 1920. Woodhouse moved into this house once it was built, and in the late 1920s turned his business over to his son, John T. Woodhouse Jr. Woodhouse remarried to his third wife in 1929, but financial losses due to the Great Depression caused him to despair, and he committed suicide in this house in 1930.</p><br>
<h2>Further History</h2><br>
<p>After John Senior&#39;s death in 1930, his son John moved into the house. He sold off portions of the surrounding property as lots. The younger John maintained ownership of both the John T. Woodhouse & Company and of this house until his death in 1967. At this point, the house was put up for sale. The house was purchased in 1974 by Drs. E. G. and Aspasia Metropoulos, who undertook a substantial renovation of the property.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The John T. Woodhouse House is a 2-1/2-story, irregularly massed Tudor Revival house with a tile roof designed by George D. Mason. It is similar in design to the 1915 house Mason designed for Charles T. Fisher, located on West Boston Boulevard in Detroit in what is now the Boston-Edison Historic District. The Woodhouse house has a combination gable and hip roof, and is finished in rock-face random ashlar limestone on the first story and stucco above. The gables are half-timbered, and the facade is trimmed with smooth-cut limestone.</p><br>
<p>The house is unusual in that it has two prominent facades. The original front, once visible from Lake Shore Road, has a center entrance with an elaborate stone pediment above containing garlands of fruit and the sculptured head of the Greek goddess Hera. The entry doorway contains a double door flanked by sidelights. A two-story bay window containing multi-light windows with decorative carved stone panels sits next to the entrance. A metal balconet under a broad tripartite window sits above the entrance. On the other side of the house, the current main entrance is in the center of an irregular facade. The entryway is set in a square-headed limestone door surround with a sculptured stone head of Zeus centrally positioned above the door. Above that is A bank of windows.</p><br>
<p>Inside the house, the entry is through a small vestibule which opens into a large entry hall containing the main staircase. The entry hall has a heavy oak beamed ceiling and oak floor, and the staircase is constructed from heavy carved dark oak. The living room and dining room are off the entry hall. The living room has oak wainscoting and bookcases, a dark oak floor, and a carved stone fireplace. The dining room has decorative molding with patterned frieze encircling the room. The nearby breakfast room has a Pewabic tile floor.</p><br>
