<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Constructed in 1894, The Stafford Hotel building was the tallest building on Mount Vernon Place at the time of its inception. It was designed by architect Charles E. Cassell (1838–1916), who was a founding member of the AIA Baltimore chapter, and also designed the Christian Science Temple, Chamber of Commerce building, and Chateauesque House in Baltimore. The building itself is clad in brown Roman brick, and features arched windows and balustrade balconies – all of which is done in the Richardsonian/Romanesque architectural style.</p><br>
<p>The building is located on the north face of Mount Vernon Place, a cross-shaped park composed of 4 landscaped squares, featuring the Washington Monument at its center. The park itself is located in the heart of Baltimore’s historic district, and many of the most historically and architecturally significant structures in Baltimore line its sides. Mount Vernon Place represents Baltimore’s history and development during the 19th and 20th centuries, and can be seen as the finest surviving example of Maryland’s 19th century urban planning efforts.</p><br>
<p>The hotel opened on November 5, 1894, and was considered the grandest hotel in all of Baltimore. The hotel opened with highly decorated halls, foyer, dining rooms, a bar, a café, a ladies reception, a drawing room, smoking rooms, lounges, a barber, a coatroom, a newsstand, offices, a writing room, private dining rooms, reception rooms, 140 bedrooms, 30 private parlors in suites (with 80 baths among the suites on the upper floors), a basement finished in marble, and a central rotunda featuring an open curved stair illuminated by a large rooftop skylight. It was preferred by the famous and wealthy while visiting Baltimore. F. Scott Fitzgerald is even know to have resided in the hotel from 1935-1936.</p><br>
<p>Throughout the years the hotel received numerous renovations, and in 1968 the building was sold at auction. At the time of sale, it had 117 guest rooms.</p><br>
<p>Today, The Stafford is a 96-unit apartment building; housing primarily students from the nearby Johns Hopkins University&#39;s Peabody Institute. While it is owned by the university, it is managed and leased by LandMark Property Management, Inc. In 2016, Stafford Capital Partners, LLC, an investment group led by Luis A. Cozza purchased the leasehold interest in The Stafford from Apartment Investment and Management Company (AIMCO). The community consists of studios, 1-bedroom, and 2-bedroom apartments, that range from 390 sq ft (36 m) to 696 sq ft (64.7 m). Community amenities include a fitness center, laundry facility, and common room. While the interior has been recently renovated, the historic exterior is very much intact and in good condition.</p><br>
<p>The Wayne Village Historic District is a set of fifty-three buildings in Wayne, Illinois.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The earliest settler to Wayne was Solomon Dunham, who arrived in 1835. In 1850, the Galena and Chicago Union Railroad connected to the village, and Dunham realized the opportunity to develop the region. He built an inn and a store by the station. Solomon&#39;s son Mark Dunham later collaborated with several other area farmers to construct a complex of stables and open the Fletcher Norman Horse Company. The stables gained a great reputation for breeding Percheron horses. The first church in Wayne was erected in 1871, and by the mid-1870s, several small businesses had opened.</p><br>
<p>By the 1920s, demand for horses had dropped dramatically with the advent of the automobile. The Fletcher Norman Horse Company closed in 1929, ceasing almost all future growth of the suburb. Following incorporation in 1958, Wayne experienced a period of growth, but the older buildings in the village were mostly maintained. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 29, 1978.</p><br>

<p>The West Chicago City Museum, originally the Turner Town Hall, is a museum in West Chicago, Illinois.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Turner Town Hall originally functioned as the first Village Hall of West Chicago, providing police and fire control services to the community. West Chicago was originally known as Junction, as three railroads crossed through it. The Galena and Chicago Union Railroad erected the first railway station in the town in 1849, and in five years&#39; time, the town was an important railway maintenance stop. Working on steam engines and railway cars at the time induced a great fire hazard, but there was no city services to fight the blazes. All fire control was ineffectively provided by private companies. In 1883, the village, now known as Turner, approved the construction of a Town Hall. Aside from its town safety functions, the hall also provided a meeting place for citizens of the village and hosted a local museum. Fire protection was officially added in 1888. The town hall maintained its functions until 1976 when it was re-designated the West Chicago City Museum. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The two-story building is in the middle of a commercial block, though it was originally detached. It was built with a cream colored brick on a limestone foundation. The main facade faces northeast toward Main Street. This facade is asymmetrical due to its Italianate tower. The tower, which projects slightly from the facade, has a secondary entrance and a single round top window. The tower originally had a metal pyramidal roof, but this has since been removed. The main entrance on the body of the building was replaced in 1942 when barn doors (used by the fire station) were replaced with a set of Federal Style doors and windows. Three round top windows are found on the second floor.</p><br>
<p>The Pound Gap of Pine Mountain is on the Virginia/Kentucky border between Jenkins, Kentucky and Pound, Virginia. It served as a passage for early settlers to cross into Kentucky from Virginia. Today, USA Route 23 passes through the gap.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1750, early surveyors for the Ohio Company, possibly including Christopher Gist, passed through the gap. Many hunters used the gap to cross into Kentucky from Virginia for the next ten years. In 1774, Daniel Boone used the gap to cross into Kentucky, along with Michael Stoner, to warn the land surveyors of a possible attack from the Shawnee Indians. Boone referred to Pound Gap as "Sounding Gap". Circa 1800, some the first pioneer families of eastern Kentucky came to Kentucky through Pound Gap. In Letcher County today are hundreds of the descendants of these pioneers. It was seven families who first came here around 1798. The Adamses; the Webbs, the Caudills; the Crafts; the Hammonds, the Sturgills, and the Collinses. The Hoggs, Maggards, Wrights, Fraziers, Fieldses, Bates, Halls, Bentleys, and Hamptons followed closely after the first settlement.</p><br>
<p>In 1834, the General Assembly of Kentucky passed an act to improve the road (one of "Kentucky&#39;s Wilderness Traces") from Mount Sterling to Pound Gap to make travel to western Virginia more accessible. The route was widely used to drive livestock (horses, hogs and cattle) into Virginia and other southern markets and was shorter than other routes. The Mount Sterling - Pound Gap road was considered "the longest pre-Civil War state road" The route roughly follows modern day KY 11 from Mount Sterling to Clay City, then KY 15 from Clay City to Whitesburg, and finally US 119 from Whitesburg, along the Kentucky River, to its headwaters in Pound Gap.</p><br>
<p>In 1861 the Confederate States Army regiment under the command of Colonel John S. Williams took control of the gap. On March 16, 1862, 800 Union soldiers from the 42nd Ohio Infantry, under the command of Brigadier General James A. Garfield came from Piketon (present day Pikeville)in the Battle of Pound Gap, forcing the 500 Confederate soldiers (under command of Major John Thompson) after the deadly battle to retreat. General Garfield was the youngest (Union) general of the war, and gained fame from the Battle of Pound Gap.</p><br>
<p>On May 14, 1892, Dr M.B. Taylor, a.k.a. "The Red Fox" and two confederates, Henan and Cal Fleming, ambushed Ira Mullins, a local moonshiner and his family. The ambush killed five out of seven people who were in the caravan at a rock near Pound Gap now called "Killing Rock". Dr Taylor was hanged at the Wise County Courthouse on October 27, 1893 for the murders. The Red Fox Trail & Killing Rock is now a hiking trail in the Jefferson National Forest.</p><br>
<h2>Geological features</h2><br>
<p>The Pound Gap mountain pass is known as a wind gap, as streams no longer flow through it.</p><br>
<p>During the construction of the new section of US 23 in 1998, the "Pine Mountain Pound Gap Thrust Fault" was exposed. "The collision of the North American continent with Africa and Europe more than 275 million years ago formed the Appalachian Mountains and the thrust fault at Pound Gap". Geologist consider the exposed rock to be "one of the most remarkable exposures of rock in the entire eastern United States". On September 26, 1998 Pound Gap was declared Kentucky&#39;s first Distinguished Geologic Site by the Kentucky Society of Professional Geologists.</p><br>
<p>The McAuley School District No. 27 is a school 1.25 mi west from West Chicago, Illinois, United States in Winfield Township. It was built in 1913 on a lot donated by George McAuley. While most one-room schoolhouses were destroyed in the mid 20th century, the McAuley School survived and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The land for the school was donated by George McAuley in 1857. A school house was built on this site and served the community until 1913, when it was auctioned off. The current structure was built on the same site in 1913 and featured toilets, ventilation, and electricity, features that were considered progressive at the time. Designs and functionality of the school were strongly based on circular messages issued by the Illinois Office of Public Instruction. A garage built in the same year is also on the school site and has not been altered since its construction.</p><br>
<p>Illinois Gov. Henry Horner recommended in 1935 that all one-room schoolhouses should be demolished. By 1960, almost all of the one-room schoolhouses were destroyed or converted into meeting halls. As the last functioning one-room school in Illinois, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 3, 1982. West Chicago Elementary District 33 is currently responsible for maintaining the building, which is currently too dilapidated to use as a museum.</p><br>
<p>The school was built with a simple wooden frame and followed the rules issued by the Illinois Office of Public Instruction. If faces Illinois Route 38, also known as Roosevelt Road. The Weatherboarded building is 28 x with a concrete block foundation. Two square columns with wide entablature flank the entrance. On the inside, six black slate blackboards cover the south wall and a seventh is found on the west wall. Two small windows are found on each side of the entrance. The building underwent renovation in 1963. Carpet was placed on top of the hardwood floors on the top level and drywall was installed in the basement. A second door was also added on the west wall of the basement at this time.</p><br>
<p>Morningside Historic District is a national historic district located at Gary, Indiana. The district is characterized by spacious lots and tree-shaded curving streets. It encompasses 99 contributing buildings and 1 contributing site.</p><br>
<p>Morningside developed early in the 20th century as a secluded area for middle and upper class residents. Construction in the neighborhood spanned nearly 40 years – from 1917 to 1953 – creating an architectural collection ranging from English cottages and Tudor Revival style manors to post-war ranch houses. The area was named to the National Register of Historic Places by the Partners in Preservation program. Funded by local preservation advocate Jim Morrow, the program pays for professional preparation of National Register nominations for qualifying structures in Lake and Porter counties.</p><br>
<p>It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<p>The Old DuPage County Courthouse is a Richardsonian Romanesque style court house designed by Mifflin E. Bell in Wheaton, Illinois, United States. The building served as the seat of government for DuPage County, Illinois from its construction in 1896 until a new courthouse was built in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The original DuPage County Courthouse was built in 1868 on land purchased from Warren L. Wheaton. A new DuPage County Courthouse replaced this structure in 1896 and housed many important events. Clarence Darrow defended George Munding in a trial in 1924 that made regional headlines. The first sentencing in Illinois of a convicted criminal to go to the electric chair occurred here in 1931. A jailhouse annex was constructed in 1959, although it was later demolished. The courthouse operated until 1990, when the present day DuPage County Courthouse was built. In danger of being demolished, the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. A lightning strike in 1988 destroyed the original tower, though it was subsequently rebuilt. National Louis University purchased the building in 1993 to operate as a satellite campus. In the mid-2000s, the building sold again and converted into condominiums.</p><br>
<p>Built of red brick, the building features a bell tower and multiple turrets. These features were included in the buildings design to give it the appearance of a castle, which was intended as representative of the buildings purpose of defending law and justice. The interior of the ground floor features marble wall panels that rise 4 ft along the walls. It is one of the only Richardsonian Romanesque buildings in Northern Illinois. The duration of the style&#39;s popularity was short and the buildings were expensive to construct.</p><br>
<p>The DuPage County Historical Museum, formerly the Adams Memorial Library, is a building designed by Charles Sumner Frost in Wheaton, Illinois, United States.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Adams Memorial Library was the first public library in Wheaton, Illinois; along with a library in Downers Grove, it was one of the first two libraries in the county. Funds for its completions were donated by John Quincey Adams, a real estate investor and miller. Adams was born in Hopkinton, Massachusetts and moved to Chicago in 1851. He was the fourth cousin, twice removed of President John Quincy Adams. He co-founded the Chicago Board of Trade and became a prominent Chicago citizen. Adams moved to Wheaton following the death of his wife, Marilla Phipps Adams, for whom the library was named. Charles Sumner Frost, who had recently designed the Chicago and North Western railroad station in Wheaton, was selected as the architect. It was one of Frost&#39;s first commission after he split with partner Henry Ives Cobb. Ground was broken on October 2, 1890 and Adams dedicated the museum on October 28, 1891. The library classified books with the Dewey Decimal system, becoming one of the first in Illinois to use this system. Adams Memorial was the main library in the region until a new library was constructed in 1965. The endowment from Adams completely supported the facility until 1923, when Wheaton provided additional funds. The initial book purchase by Adams exceeded 2,700 books.</p><br>
<p>The DuPage County Historical Society purchased the Adams Memorial building in 1965 and transferred ownership to the county. It re-opened as the DuPage County Historical Museum in 1967. On June 4, 1981, it was recognized by the National Park Service with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The museum seeks to "educate the general public through the collection, preservation, interpretation, and exhibition of materials which document the history of DuPage County and its relationship to Illinois and the nation, and to provide local history services for historical organizations and for scholarly endeavors."</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The building is found at the southeast corner of Wesley and Main Streets in Wheaton. It stands two stories tall and was built with coursed limestone and Bedford stone trimmings in the Richardsonian Romanesque style. The style is characterized by rough-hewn stone blocks, emphasized horizontal lines, wide rounded arches, and intricate ornamentation. The work is nearly identical to a library that Frost designed in Morgan Park, Chicago the previous year. Each facade has a tall stone gable with pinnacles on either side near the base. Gable eaves have dentil moldings carved into a leaf motif. Each gable has an arched window. The north gable is capped with a decorative urn. The north facade features a turreted stair tower on the east side. It also has a double doorway, the main entrance, and a bay window on the west side of the first floor. The entrance is arched with a Bedford stone egg-and-dart voussoir. An inner arch is ornamented with a leaf design. The south facade has a bay window that looks out onto a small courtyard.</p><br>
<p>The interior features oak floors and plaster ceilings. The first floor is dominated by a main hall with an oak staircase on the west wall. The main reading room is on the northwest corner, the ladie&#39;s reading room is on the southwest, a lecture hall is on the northeast, and three rooms are on the southeast. The main hall features marble wainscoting. The main reading room has a carved panel ceiling and a fireplace; this room features the north bay window. The ladies reading room also has a fireplace. The lecture room is decorated with oak wainscoting. The library room, one of the three southeast rooms, also originally had a fireplace. The second floor was a 500 seat auditorium with a gallery. A room on the southeast of the floor was used as a dressing room, though it was later removed to build a fire escape and kitchen. The staircase leads up to a third floor, which originally overlooked the auditorium.</p><br>
<p>The Naperville Historic District is a set of 613 buildings in Naperville, Illinois. Of these 613 buildings, 544 contribute to the historical integrety of the area. The district represents the town as it was originally platted and a few early additions.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Stephen Scott established a farm on the DuPage River in 1830, marking the first settlement in what would become Naperville. A sawmill, grist mill, trading post, and school were erected soon after several other families migrated to the land. By 1832, 180 residents lived in the Naperville region. The village was briefly abandoned in 1832 as families fled to Fort Dearborn during the Black Hawk War, but most returned after fighting had ceased. The first post office was constructed in 1833. The Galena Road between Chicago and Galena opened in 1834 and brought commerce to the area. In the 1850s through the early 1870s, Naperville battled politically with Wheaton over which town should be the county seat of DuPage County. Though the town built a courthouse, a court decided in favor of Wheaton. The courthouse was demolished and was converted to a park.</p><br>
<p>Naperville primarily found economic success through the management of local resources. Stone quarries exported limestone, breweries produced alcohol, and three separate plant nurseries flourished. Other important industries were Naperville Agricultural, producing farming equipment, and Martin Mitchells Naperville Title and Brick Works. By World War I, the largest employer was Naperville Manufacturing Co., which eventually became of the nations leading furniture exporters. Plainfield College in Plainfield moved its campus to Naperville in 1870, and was later renamed to North Central College. The Evangelical Theological Seminary was organized in 1873 and was closely associated with North Central until merging with Garrett Theological Seminary in 1974. Despite this economic welfare and religious presence, Naperville grew slowly; the population in 1910 was only 3,449. The towns first major population boom was in the 1950s, as increased ease of traveled enhanced Napervilles place a Chicago suburb. Most of the older sections of town, however, are intact.</p><br>

<p>The Carnegie Branch Library at 13th St and 28th Ave in Meridian, Mississippi is one of two former Carnegie libraries in the city, both funded by a grant from Andrew Carnegie in 1904. This library was built for blacks while the other was built for whites. The other library was built at 25th Ave and 7th St and now houses the Meridian Museum of Art. Both buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. The black library was demolished in 2008.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>A group of women in the city had formed the Fortnightly Book and Magazine Club in the 1880s and began raising money to build a library for the city. The books they collected and shared within the club were later the basis of the library collection for Meridian. With wide support for the library, the club enlisted Israel Marks, a city leader, to approach the national philanthropist Andrew Carnegie for funding assistance. Marks, who helped operate the Marks-Rothenberg Department Store next door to the Grand Opera House, was an acquaintance of Carnegie and convinced him to issue a $38,000 grant in 1904 to the city&#39;s government to build two Carnegie libraries — one for whites and one for African-Americans. The white library would receive $30,000 while the African American one would receive $8,000.</p><br>
<p>It was asserted to be the only Carnegie library ever built for African Americans in the country, however the 1905-built Louisville Free Public Library, Western Colored Branch appears to be another.</p><br>
<p>The city used the money both to renovate the vacant building (formerly owned by the First Presbyterian Church of Meridian) at 25th Ave and 7th St and transform it into the white library and to build the African American library at 13th St and 28th Ave on land donated by a local Methodist church. The African American library was the first and only library for blacks in the state until after World War I.</p><br>
<p>The two libraries served the city until 1967, when the institutions became integrated, combined their collections, and moved all materials to the new Meridian Public Library at 2517 7th St.</p><br>
<p>The Masonic Temple is a historic two-story wooden building at 809 1st Avenue, near the Chena River in Fairbanks, Alaska. It was built in 1906, expanded in 1908, and further altered in 1913 and 1916. Its architecture is "eclectic Renaissance Revival", a style that had been popular in the "lower 48" United States in the 1880s and 1890s. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The building was originally constructed for the Tanana Commercial Company in 1906. The fire that destroyed much of the city that same year did not affect it, as the fire stopped about one block away.</p><br>
<p>In 1908, the Tanana Lodge No. 3, a Masonic group that had started as a club in 1904 and received a charter in 1908, purchased the building. The Masons added an extension in the rear for lodge rooms and a main hall in 1908. The building was raised in 1913 and a new facade was added in 1916. The Masons no longer meet in the building.</p><br>
<p>President Warren G. Harding gave a speech from the steps of the Masonic Temple during his visit to Alaska in 1923.</p><br>
<p>The Cathedral of Sigüenza  is the seat of the bishop of Sigüenza, in Castile-La Mancha, Spain. It was declared Bien de Interés Cultural in 1931.</p><br>
<p>It is built in Romanesque and Gothic style.</p><br>
<p>It is the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Sigüenza-Guadalajara.</p><br>
<p>The cathedral has its origin in 1121 when Bishop Don Bernardo de Agén (1121–1152) was named bishop by Bernard de Sedirac, Archbishop of Toledo, with the objective of reducing the influence of the bishop of Osma, at the time of the reign of Doña Urraca, daughter of Alfonso VI. Don Bernardo conquered the city 1124. In 1138 Alfonso VII donated land, and in 1144 Don Bernardo founded the cathedral, possibly on the foundations of an existing Visigoth or Mozarabic church.</p><br>
<p>The cathedral is a very large Gothic edifice of ashlar stone, though the lower levels show that it was built onto an earlier Romanesque cathedral. Its façade has three doors, with a railed court in front. At the sides rise two square towers, 164 ft high, built at different times, with merlons topped with large balls; these towers are connected by a balustrade which crowns the facade, the work of Bishop Herrera in the eighteenth century. The interior is divided into a nave and two aisles, in Gothic style.</p><br>
<p>The main choir begins in the transept with a Renaissance altar built by order of Bishop Mateo de Burgos. In the transept is the Chapel of Saint Liberata (Librada), the female patron saint of the city, with a reredos and the relics of the saint, all constructed at the expense of Bishop Fadrique of Portugal, who is buried there.</p><br>
<p>What is now the Chapel of St. Catherine was dedicated to St. Thomas of Canterbury by the English Bishop Jocelin. The chapel houses the sepulchre of Martín Vázquez de Arce (Martin Vasques de Arze in the spelling of the time).</p><br>
<p>Vázquez died in 1486 during the conquest of Granada and his brother Fernando, bishop of the Canary Islands, ordered a portrait in alabaster where he lies on his side while reading, in one of the finest examples of Spanish funerary art. It contrasts with the recumbent figures of his parents in the same chapel.</p><br>
<p>The authors of the Spanish Generation of 1898 (Ortega y Gasset) drew attention to this statue naming him el doncel de Sigüenza, "the boy of Sigüenza", but Vázquez left a widow and children. Cardinal Mendoza is interred in the main choir. Beyond the choir proper, which is situated in the centre, there is the altar of Nuestra Señora la Mayor, in black marble from Calatorao and red marble, featuring spiral Solomonic columns.</p><br>
<p>The main sacristy is also named as "of the heads".</p><br>
<p>It was designed in 1532 by Alonso de Covarrubias and built by Francisco de Baeza and Martín de Vandoma.</p><br>
<p>The portal is Renaissance, Plateresque, of 1573, in stone, the nuttree door has also Plateresque carvings and was damaged by a cat door and the Napoleonic troops. The half cannon vault features 304 big heads, all different, and 2000 smaller ones, hence the nickname of the room.</p><br>
<p>The ceiling and the vitrals of the cathedral were damaged in the Spanish Civil War, with the reconstruction ending in 1947.</p><br>
<p>Myrtle Beach Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Depot is a historic train station located at Myrtle Beach in Horry County, South Carolina. It was built in 1937 by the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, and is one-story rectangular building was constructed with the standard ACL bi-level floor plan that has a raised freight room with steps leading down to the lobby/office area. It features exterior architectural detailing reflecting Colonial Revival, Craftsman, and Mission stylistic influences.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<h2>Restoration effort</h2><br>
<p>Trains used the nearby train yard until 1971. The last freight train used the depot in 1988, and after that it became a beer distributor&#39;s warehouse. When it appeared the depot would be torn down, the city bought it for $750,000 in 2000. A concrete block addition came down in 2001 as efforts began to have the property named to the National Register. By the time the designation was achieved, the All Aboard Committee had raised $470,000 of the $677,000 restoration cost. The depot opened as a museum May 6, 2004. A. Dale Gilliland, AIA volunteered his services as architect to restore the depot.</p><br>
<p>The Wurzelbrink is a hill south of Lübbecke which, at, is the second highest peak in the Wiehen Hills in north Germany. Immediately to the south is the no less majestic Kniebrink. There is an old and rather small watchtower, the Wartturm, on top of the Wurzelbrink, which was built in 1857, whose outstanding views of the local area are partly obscured by the trees that have now grown up around it.</p><br>
<h2>Views</h2><br>
<p>Towards the east the "King of the Wiehen Hills", the Heidbrink, towers above the surrounding terrain. About 20 years ago, when the trees were much lower, the hills of the Stemweder Berg (also called the Stemme Hills or Stemmer Berge), which are up to high, could be seen in good weather about 25 km away. Between the Wiehen Hills and the Stemweder Berg lies the broad expanse of the Lübbecke Land, that used to form the independent district of Kreis Lübbecke until the regional reforms of the 1970s. To the northeast, the Großes Torfmoor ("Great Peat Bog") can be made out about 6 km away between the villages of Gehlenbeck/Nettelstedt and the Mittelland Canal. This is the most northerly and largest fen in Westphalia and is a nature reserve. The only wild white storks in Westphalia breed here. To the east the Wiehen Hills run in a curve to the Westphalian Gap a good 25 km away, which is visible in good weather.</p><br>
<p>Unfortunately this view is obstructed today by the tall trees that have grown up; there is only a rather restricted view to the south: in that direction the rolling terrain of the Ravensberg Hollow. On the horizon one can clearly make out the Teutoburg Forest, also called the Osning. Particularly striking is the large TV tower near Bielefeld. In very good conditions, with the aid of binoculars, the sword point of Hermann&#39;s Monument (Hermanns-Denkmal) can be seen.</p><br>
<p>The Mensinger Ravine begins on the eastern side of the hill and runs northwards.</p><br>
<p>It is worth noting that if the tower were raised by a few metres, as has been done for the neighbouring observation tower on the Nonnenstein, it would afford the hiker clear views again.</p><br>
<h2>Spring on the Wurzelbrink</h2><br>
<p>On the western slope of the hill, a spring rises immediately next to a hiking trail. The spring has been comprehensively walled in. Occasionally you can see the locals fill cans and other containers on carts here, with this apparently very drinkable source of water, for their domestic use. In the springtime the source yields 10 litres of water per minute. In summer, the yield can drop to more or less nothing, however, depending on the weather.</p><br>
<p>So far the source has not been given any legally binding name. However, local residents have for decades called it, jocularly, the Mickey Mouse Spring.</p><br>
<p>According to unofficial chemical analysis the spring water generally has very low levels of pollutants. Only the proportion of copper ions is relatively high for human consumption but this use is still safe.</p><br>

<p>Kingston Presbyterian Church is a historic Presbyterian church located at Conway in Horry County, South Carolina. The sanctuary was built in 1858 and is an outstanding example of antebellum Greek Revival ecclesiastical design. The three-bay façade features a portico set on square columns with recessed panels and square pilasters. It was originally sheathed with weatherboard, but was covered in stucco in 1930 when a stuccoed brick addition was added to the rear. Also on the property is a Colonial Revival style brick educational building built in 1956. It is co-located with the Kingston Presbyterian Church Cemetery, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<p>The Fond du Lac State Forest is a state forest in Minnesota, United States, principally managed by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources . The main segment of the forest is located between the towns of Sawyer and Cromwell, in Carlton County. The boundaries of the forest overlap with those of the Fond du Lac Indian Reservation, some state forest land falls within the reservation. The Kettle Lake Wildlife Management Area  is located in the southern half of the main segment. A smaller segment is located adjacent to Jay Cooke State Park and the border with Wisconsin in Saint Louis County.</p><br>
<p>The forest is a mixture of coniferous boreal forest, alder-willow brushlands, lowland bogs, and wild rice (Zizania palustris) laden lakes. The current forest cover was largely influenced by the 1918 Cloquet Fire and the controlled burns that took place until the 1930s, as well as the drainage of area lowlands from 1916-1920 for the purposes of homesteading.</p><br>
<p>Outdoor recreation opportunities in the forest include camping and hiking throughout the forest, canoeing, kayaking, and swimming on the numerous lakes, as well as picnicking at picnic shelters. Trails located throughout the forest include 18.3 mi designated for cross-country skiing, 33 mi for mountain biking, 40 mi each for Class I and Class II All-terrain vehicle (ATV) use, 40 mi for off-highway motorcycling, as well as snowmobiling.</p><br>
<p>Pittsburgh is a neighborhood of Atlanta, Georgia, founded in 1883 as a black working-class suburb alongside the Pegram rail shops. It was named Pittsburgh because the industrial area reminded one of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and its famous steel mills. Pittsburgh is relatively poor and underdeveloped, but as property values rise in Intown Atlanta neighborhoods, many see hope that this trend will spread to Pittsburgh and bring renewal.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Pittsburgh is bounded on the northern tip by I-20 across which is the tip of Castleberry Hill, on the Northeast by a Norfolk Southern rail line across which is Mechanicsville, on the west by Metropolitan Parkway and Adair Park, on the East by Peoplestown, and on the south by the BeltLine across which is the Capital View Manor neighborhood. It shares its street names and alignments with Mechanicsville, however the two neighborhoods are separated by a rail line such that the only connections are on the Northeast and West edges of the neighborhoods.</p><br>
<p>Pittsburgh is conveniently located off I-75 and within walking distance of downtown, the Atlanta Braves Stadium, the West End Mall, Grant Park and the Atlanta Zoo. It is separated from downtown by Mechanicsville to the North. Three major downtown through-fares connect into Metropolitan Parkway, McDaniel Street and Pryor Street inside of Pittsburgh.</p><br>
<p>It is within walking distance of the Garnett, West End and Oakland City MARTA stations.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The area of land known as Pittsburgh was on the southern outskirts of Atlanta in the early 1880s when houses began to be built there. Owned by white real-estate investor H.L. Wilson, it had many similarities to neighboring Mechanicsville, which also grew up around the Pegram railroad repair shops, but there were substantial differences. In contrast to Pittsburgh, Mechanicsville was racially mixed and included some well-to-do areas.</p><br>
<p>A working class, black community, Pittsburgh was served by four streetcar lines: Washington Street, Pryor Street, Stewart Avenue (now Metropolitan Parkway) and Georgia Avenue (now Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard). In spite of its poverty, early Pittsburgh boasted some well-educated and self-sufficient residents. Until the 1930s, Pittsburgh housed Clark College; it also held two theological seminaries. Black-owned businesses sprung up on McDaniel Street.</p><br>
<p>Starting in the 1960s it became possible for better-off blacks to move into previously all-white areas, and many did, even as "white flight" started to the suburbs. This led to the depreciation of home values in Pittsburgh and eventually to abandoned houses. Pittsburgh&#39;s population fell by fifty percent from 7,276 in 1970 to 3,624 in 1990. It had started increasing in the early 2000s before the crash. Vacancies increased during the crash, however starting in 2012, the population has started to increase again and investment in the community has increased.</p><br>
<h3>Pittsburgh today</h3><br>
<p>In the first years of the 21st century, middle and upper income people started moving into many parts of intown Atlanta again. This brought hope to many in Pittsburgh, at least up until the real estate crash in 2008-9, that their neighborhood would eventually gentrify as had been the case with, for example, Cabbagetown. A great deal of visible change has not yet come, however there are some positive signs pointing to the future. The Pittsburgh Civic League Apartments, a low-income housing project was torn down and replaced with a large apartment complex. The BeltLine forms the southern boundary of Pittsburgh, which will add park space, a bicycle path, and plans include light rail with a stop at the corner of University and Metropolitan Avenues. This in turn gives the opportunity for new development. Starting in 2012, a resurgence in Adair Park, Summerhill, West End, Mechanicsville and other neighorhoods surrounding Pittsburgh has made gentrification even more imminent.</p><br>
<p>In 2012 the beating of a young gay man in Pittsburgh with a discarded car tire, leading to the capture of members of a growing gang, highlighted the issues of gangs and prostitution. However, Pittsburgh is still one of the safest low income neighborhoods in Atlanta, with property crime and vandalism being a bigger issue. Nevertheless, the incident provoked the concern of Pittsburgh&#39;s safety committee about how to get the tires cleaned up. Community members got together to clean up the tires in a brownfield across from mixed-use apartments near the Northern border with Mechanicsville.</p><br>
<h4>Urban Renewal</h4><br>
<p>It also highlighted the issues of brownfields in the Pittsburgh neighborhood and surrounding areas, with one of the largest being a 31.4 acre brownfield along University Avenue and the future Beltline trail that dominates the Southern gateway into the neighborhood and is therefore critical. This brownfield was purchased by UPS in 2001 for a distribution center, but changing priorities caused UPS to sell it to the Annie E Casey Foundation in 2006 to build a park and mixed-use development. Annie E. Casey determined outreach and a Master Plan was needed for the community, which has ensued ever since, extended by the recent economic downturn in 2008. Early in the process, the Annie E. Casey foundation has become active in planning, along with a group called SDNSI who created some guiding documents such as "Blueprints for Successful Communities Plan" and helping develop the Master Plan with Annie E. Casey, Beltline, Inc, Pittsburgh Community Improvement Corporation, city of Atlanta, NPU-V planning unit, and residents. The newly developed Master Plan shows the critical University Avenue lot being developed into a mixed use of high density, parks, and connecting Pittsburgh roads into adjoining neighborhoods. Recent conferences show that there is renewed interest in fast-tracking brownfield cleanup in the area, not only including the University Avenue brownstone, but also the brownfield formerly littered with tires on the North end of the Pittsburgh neighborhood, and Federal funds have been provided. That has resulted in a Background Report produced in October, 2012 describing the conditions and initiative. The University Avenue property was also discussed in the Brownfields 2013 Conference. The newly developed Master Plan also led to a rezoning of the neighborhood.</p><br>
<h2>Commercial districts</h2><br>
<p>Pittsburghs western border is Metropolitan Parkway, an important commercial thoroughfare. Pittsburghs Eastern edge is East of I-75 adjoining Peoplestown and has a small business and industrial district. McDaniel Street also houses some local businesses, and was historically the primary through-fare for businesses. It is, however, in need of urban renewal due to blight and under-performing businesses.</p><br>
<h2>Education</h2><br>
<p>The community is zoned to Atlanta Public Schools. A Salvation Army Center for Officer Training is located in Pittsburgh.</p><br>
<h2>Parks</h2><br>
<p>The Chengwatana State Forest is a state forest located in Pine and Chisago counties in Minnesota. Its name is derived from the Zhingwaadena, meaning white-pine town, after the nearby ghost town and township. Eastern White Pine was historically the dominant tree species in the surrounding forest prior to intensive logging at the end of the nineteenth century.</p><br>
<p>The forest is part of a long corridor of protected areas along the St. Croix River, bordering the Wild River State Park to the south and the Saint Croix State Park to the north. In addition to the St. Croix, the Kettle River and Snake River both run through the park, all historically important as timber floating rivers to sawmills and timber markets downstream. The forest is primarily composed of upland boreal forest surrounded by brushlands and marshes.</p><br>
<p>Outdoor recreation opportunities include boating, canoe camping, and fishing along the rivers,</p><br>
<p>as well as hunting and picnicking throughout the forest. Trails include cross-country skiing trails, 20 mi of equestrian trails, 5 mi of mountain biking trails, 16 mi of both Class I All-terrain vehicle (ATV) and Class II ATV trails, 16 mi of off-highway motorcycling trails, as well as 20 mi snowmobiling trails.</p><br>
<p>The Daniel Boone Home is a historic site in Defiance, Missouri, United States. The house was built by Daniel Boone&#39;s youngest son Nathan Boone, who lived there with his family until they moved further south in 1837. The Boones had moved there from Kentucky in late 1799. Nathan later said, "In the summer of 1800, I erected a good substantial log house, and several years after that I replaced it with a commodious stone building. My father, Daniel Boone, built himself a shop and had a set of tools, and when at home he would make and repair traps and guns. In fact he did all the needed smith work for the family and sometimes for neighbors to oblige them. But after a few years he disposed of his tools." Daniel and his wife Rebecca lived primarily with their son Nathan from at least 1804 to 1813, and then for much of the time from late 1816 to his death in 1820.</p><br>
<p>Daniels move to Nathans place is recorded in an official document from 1806 to the Federal Land Commission concerning Daniels original (and unsettled) land grant: "Colonel D. Boone states to the Board, that, on his arrival in Louisiana, he took up his residence, with his lady, at his son Daniel M. Boones, in the said district of Femme Osage, and adjoining the lands he now claims; that they remained there until about two years ago, when he moved to a younger son&#39;s, Nathan Boone, where he now lives. It is proved that the said claimant is of the age of about seventy years, and his wife about sixty-eight."</p><br>
<p>Daniel did at times visit the Callaway family near Marthasville, MO (the family of his daughter Jemima), and did so in the summer of 1820. Nathan describes the final events of Daniels life, "During the whole summer of 1820, he was at the Callaways. … He had an attack of fever, not severe, and while recovering was exceedingly anxious to be taken to my house. … Finally I took him back in a carriage…He died on the morning of September 26, 1820, about sunrise—the fourteenth day after his arrival here.”</p><br>
<p>The architecture of the home is Georgian style, and other various styles among the collection of 19th-century buildings that make up the adjacent Boonesfield Village.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. In May 2016, the site was donated by Lindenwood University to St. Charles County. It was renamed the Historic Daniel Boone Home at Lindenwood Park and is operated by the County’s Parks and Recreation Department.</p><br>
<h2>Park and tour hours</h2><br>
<p>The park is open from 8:30 a.m. – 5 p.m. Monday–Saturday and 11:30 a.m. – 5 p.m. on Sunday. Guided tours are offered on the hour.</p><br>

<p>Burroughs School, also known as Burroughs Graded School, is a historic school located at Conway in Horry County, South Carolina. It was built in three phases between 1905 and 1923. The earliest portion of the building was built as an elementary school and has three main portions of eleven bays. It features a one-story, hip roof porch supported by six Ionic order columns with Scamozzi capitals. About 1915 a two-story hipped classroom wing was added and in 1923 four classrooms and an auditorium was added to the complex.</p><br>
<p>In 2014 the Horry County Museum moved into the renovated building from its former location in the historic Conway Post Office building.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>Horry County Museum</h2><br>
<p>The Horry County Museum features exhibits about the County&#39;s history, pre-history and natural history. Displays include a freshwater aquarium, mounted animals, area military history, Native American artifacts and history, textiles, area beaches, and historic photographs.</p><br>
<p>Park Crescent is a mid-19th-century residential development in the Round Hill area of Brighton, part of the English city of Brighton and Hove. The horseshoe-shaped, three-part terrace of 48 houses was designed and built by one of Brightons most important architects, Amon Henry Wilds; by the time work started in 1849 he had 35 years experience in the town. Wilds used the Italianate style rather than his  more common Regency motifs. Three houses were replaced after the Second World War because of bomb damage, and another was the scene of one of Brightons notorious "trunk murders" of the 1930s. The three parts of the terrace, which encircle a private garden formerly a pleasure ground and cricket pitch, have been listed at Grade II* by English Heritage for their architectural and historical importance.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The fishing village of Brighthelmston, on the English Channel coast, was built around the point at which the Wellesbourne, a winterbourne flowing off the South Downs, entered the sea. It formed a north–south valley along which the road and railway line to London were built. The road to London diverged from the road to Lewes, which also followed a valley northeastwards, at an area of marshy, intermittently flooded ground called The Level. By the 18th century, when the village started developing into the fashionable resort of Brighton, this had become a popular site for fairs, sports and general recreation. In 1791, the northernmost part became the Prince of Wales Ground, a cricket ground which hosted early first-class matches and served as the home of Brighton Cricket Club, one of the principal founders of Sussex County Cricket Club 50 years later.</p><br>
<p>Major changes happened in 1822 after the Prince Regent—the most enthusiastic player and supporter of cricket among Brighton&#39;s high society—became king and retired from the sport. The Prince of Wales Ground fell into disuse at this time. Meanwhile, The Level was granted to the town by its landowners, who included influential local clergyman, politician, property speculator and Lord of the Manor Thomas Read Kemp. Union Road was built from east to west connecting the London and Lewes Roads, and the 8 acre area to its south was landscaped by Amon Henry Wilds and landscape gardener Henry Phillips. The 10 acre part to the north was bought by a speculator, James Ireland, who built the Royal Gardens—a multi-purpose pleasure garden with a new cricket ground (the Royal New Ground). The gardens opened on 1 May 1823.</p><br>
<p>Cricket remained the most popular attraction throughout the gardens existence, but there was a range of activities: bowling greens, a "noble and conspicuous building" with ground-floor billiard rooms, refreshment facilities and reading rooms and a walking area on the roof, lawns, a grotto, an aviary, fairground activities, and an artificial lake with a path leading to a maze whose centrepiece was a special swinging chair. A bizarre flying demonstration took place on one occasion, during which a businessman and associate of Ireland claimed he would fly from the roof of the main building to the far side of the gardens. When he merely sailed down a rope wearing a pair of wings and attached to a pulley, the spectators were so unimpressed that he had to escape into the maze to get away from them. Under later owners oversight, they became overgrown, and the main building soon became unusable. Only the ornamental gate piers and the south boundary wall (on the north side of Union Road) remain.</p><br>
<p>The gardens and the land surrounding then came up for sale again in the late 1840s. After the opening of the railway line and Brighton railway station nearby in 1841, the surrounding area developed as a largely working-class area of small terraced houses. In about 1849 Amon Henry Wilds attempted to introduce some higher-class housing with his Park Crescent development. It was envisaged as a long, horseshoe-shaped crescent facing inwards towards the former cricket ground part of the Royal Gardens, which would be a private garden for residents. in 1849.</p><br>
<p>The crescent was complete in 1854, one of Wildss final works before his death in 1857. At first the gardens were managed by a private agent on behalf of the residents, but a committee of residents took over responsibity in 1872. and was chairman of the Park Crescent Residents Association. Lewis Carroll&#39;s sister Henrietta moved to number 4 Park Crescent in 1885 and lived a hermit-like existence with several cats for company. She died in 1922. In 1934, number 44 was the site of the second notorious "Brighton trunk murder" in the space of a few weeks. On 15 July that year, the body of Violet Kaye, a prostitute, was found in a suitcase in a house in Kemp Street in the North Laine area. Her pimp, Tony Mancini, alleged that he found her dead in bed in the Park Crescent house and transported her to lodgings in Kemp Street out of fear. Remarkable work by defence counsel Norman Birkett smallcaps acquitted Mancini, but he confessed to the murder in 1976.</p><br>
<p>Wartime damage to Brighton&#39;s grand squares, terraces and crescents was minimal, and much less than expected; nevertheless, three houses (numbers 24, 25 and 26) in the centre of the northern part of the crescent were destroyed by a bomb in 1942. They were not replaced until 1983, when the three houses were rebuilt as two, omitting number 25. The replacements were built in the same style as the rest of the terrace.</p><br>
<p>The west, north and east sides of the crescent were each listed separately at Grade II* on 13 October 1952. Such buildings are defined as being "particularly important... of more than special interest". As of February 2001, they were three of the 70 Grade II*-listed buildings and structures, and 1,218 listed buildings of all grades, in the city of Brighton and Hove.</p><br>
<h2>Associated buildings</h2><br>
<p>Park Crescent Terrace was built adjacent to the crescent on its west side. Another important local building, demolished in 1930, was the Gaiety Theatre on Park Crescent Place, which runs northwards from Park Crescent to Trinity Street. It was the Royal Hippodrome from 1876 until 1889, and held a popular circus. After a short closure, it reopened in 1890 It was demolished in 1930 and replaced by flats.</p><br>
<p>The wall along the north side of Union Road, which cuts off Park Crescent and the gardens from The Level, retains its original (1822) gate piers. It was badly damaged by falling trees in the Great Storm of 1987,</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Wilds adopted the then-popular Italianate style for his design of Park Crescent, which has been described as the most ambitious development of his architectural career. It has been criticised for being an unsuccessful composition, "showing... his limitations as an architect" with the "muddled and disappointing" proportions of the interior (garden-facing) façades. The gabled roofs on each house are large in proportion to the rest of the exterior, giving a "top-heavy", "busy and awkward" appearance. This contrasts with the simple curves of the rear elevations, facing the streets on the outside. The gables form part of an attic storey which extends from the top of the two- and three-storey houses in the terrace. They are treated as 24 semi-detached villas at the front, but the rear resembles a plain terrace on all three sides. The linking element between the pairs of villas is a series of three-storey towers topped with pediments. These also provide a unifying element between houses of different heights, which has been described as a mark of Wilds&#39;s ingenuity.</p><br>
<p>The west and east sides match each other. Most houses have two storeys, but some rise to three; all have a basement and a three-window range with sash windows. The entrances are in the rear elevation and are paired under single doorcases with cornices, architraves and fanlights. The windows are topped by similar architraves. At the front, facing the garden, the hipped roofs of the main sections have prominent eaves, and the roofs of the tower sections have similar treatment. Number 1, at the southwest corner, has ground-floor rustication carried round on to its south-facing wall, and its windows are different. Similarly, number 48—the end house at the southeast corner—has a hipped-roofed south-facing wing with a hipped roof, in which the entrance is set in a doorcase flanked by antae. The corner of the house is chamfered and has a blank two-window range. Several houses in the east side of the crescent have dormer windows in their attic space.</p><br>
<p>The curved north side of the "horseshoe" consists of three-storey houses with three-window ranges. The entrances are again paired, and the windows are sashes with architraves above. Three-storey tower bays separate the houses.</p><br>
<p>Temple B&#39;Nai Israel is a former Jewish temple at 265 West Main Street in New Britain, Connecticut. It is a Beaux Arts building originally constructed as a Masonic Hall in 1929, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995 under the name "Masonic Temple".</p><br>
<p>The building is considered architecturally significant as a "fine example" of Neo-Classical Revival style in the Beaux Arts mode.</p><br>
<p>The architect, Walter Crabtree, also designed the Francis H. Holmes House in New Britain, and the Universalist Church of West Hartford, both also listed on the National Register.</p><br>
<p>The building is also considered historically significant for its association with New Britains Jewish community. The congregation of Temple BNai Israel was originally an Orthodox congregation, organized in 1889 as Aheyu B&#39;Nai Israel (Brethren Sons of Israel). In 1924 the congregation reorganized as Conservative (under the United Synagogue of America). Members of the congregation who held to Orthodox views split off, and built Tephereth Israel Synagogue.</p><br>
<p>The synagogue closed in the summer of 2007. Its Torah scrolls, valued at over tens of thousands of dollars each, were transferred to the Hillel organizations at Trinity College, the University of Hartford, and the University of Connecticut.</p><br>
<p>The Burntside State Forest is a state forest located near the town of Ely in Lake and Saint Louis counties, Minnesota. 82% of the forest land falls within the limits of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness to the north which belongs to the Superior National Forest, and thus falls under the federal jurisdiction of the United States Forest Service.</p><br>
<p>There are over 43 lakes in the forest, the rough topography of the area is due to its situation in the Laurentian Upland. There are six public accesses to the 7,313 acre Burntside Lake within the forest, which has substantial populations of walleye, lake trout, and the common loon.</p><br>
<p>Prior to the arrival of lumberjacks in the late nineteenth century, the majority of the forest was covered with young jack pine, a nearly unprofitable timber tree. The land speculators and lumberjacks left that area in 1874, after a wildfire destroyed what was left of trees nearing maturity and jack pine and aspen were established.</p><br>
<p>The Orrin and Roxanne Fairman Kinyon House is a private house located at 7675 N. Ridge Road in Canton, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>

<p>One of the earliest settlers in Canton Township was Elisha Kinyon; he and his wife Dilla first bought land in the area in 1831. Elishas son Orrin bought 120 acre from his father in 1834, The couple had eight children between 1836 and 1856, all sons, and built this house in 1850. Only three of the couples sons survived to adulthood; family tradition recounts that in 1849, Roxanne Kinyon accidentally poisoned two of her sons, and every day thereafter visited their graves for the rest of her life.</p><br>
<p>Orrin Kinyon was active in township government, serving as Highway Commissioner, School Inspector, Justice of the Peace, constable, and Poor Director between 1835 and 1865.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Orrin and Roxanne Fairman Kinyon House is a Greek Revival farmhouse, of post and beam construction, sided with wood and sitting on a stone foundation. The rear room was once a summer kitchen, but at some point was integrated into the house proper. Although the house sits on reduced acreage, outbuildings and the remains of an orchard still exist on the property.</p><br>
<p>The Massacre Canyon Battle took place on August 5, 1873, in Hitchcock County, Nebraska. It was one of the last battles between the Pawnee and the Sioux  and the last large battle between Great Plains indians in North America. The battle occurred when a combined Oglala/Brulé Sioux war party of over 1000 warriors attacked a party of Pawnee on their summer buffalo hunt. More than 60 Pawnees died, mostly women and children. Along with the assault on Pawnee chief Blue Coat&#39;s village in 1843, this battle range among "the bloodiest attacks by the Sioux" in Pawnee history.</p><br>
<p>According to Indian agent John W. Williamson of the Genoa Agency, who accompanied the hunting party, "On the 2d day of July, 1873, the Indians, to the number of 700, left Genoa for the hunting grounds. Of this number 350 were men, the balance women and children."</p><br>
<p>The Pawnee were traveling along the west bank of the canyon, which runs south to the Republican River, when they were attacked. "A census taken at the Pawnee Agency in September, according Agent Burgess..." (see "Massacre Canyon Monument" article in External Links section) found that "71 Pawnee warriors were killed, and 102 women and children killed", the victims brutally mutilated and scalped and others even set on fire" although Trail Agent John Williamsons account states 156 Pawnee died (page 388). It is likely the death toll would have been higher, for Williamson noted "... a company of United States cavalry emerge from the timber. When the Sioux saw the soldiers approaching they beat a hasty retreat." (page 387), although "Recently discovered military documents disproved the old theory" per the "Massacre Canyon Monument" article. This massacre is by some considered one of the factors that led to the Pawnees decision to move to a reservation in Indian Territory in what is today Oklahoma. The Pawnee disagree.</p><br>
<p>Principal chiefs at the battle were:</p><br>
<p>Pawnee: Sky Chief, Sun Chief, Fighting Bear, Ruling His Son.</p><br>
<p>Sioux: Spotted Tail (Brulé chief) (unclear), Little Wound (Oglala chief), Two Strike (Brulé chief). Chief Charging Bear (John Grass, Sihasapa) (Source?).</p><br>
<p>Among the Pawnee dead were the wife and four children of Traveling Bear, a former sergeant in the Pawnee Scouts who served under Maj. Frank North and a Medal of Honor recipient.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Pawnee Indians had a long tradition of living in present-day Nebraska. Their first land cession to the United States took place in 1833 when they sold land south of the Platte River. The Massacre Canyon battlefield near Republican River is located within this area. Forty years and two land cessions later, the tribe lived in a small reservation on old Pawnee land, present-day Nance County. The Pawnees had kept a right to hunt buffalo on their vast, ancient range, now territory of the United States.</p><br>
<p>The Sioux lived north of the Pawnee. In 1868 they had entered into a treaty with the United States and agreed to live in the Great Sioux Reservation in present-day South Dakota. By Article 11 they (also) received a right to hunt along the Republican, almost 200 miles south of the reservation.</p><br>
<p>Both the Pawnee and the Sioux complained regularly over attacks by the other tribe. An attempt to make peace in 1871 with the United States as intermediary came to nothing.</p><br>
<h2>Lead-up to the battle</h2><br>
<p>A Pawnee hunting group--roughly 400 men, women and children--were located in camp near present-day Trenton on August 4, 1873. Trail Agent John W. Williamson stayed in the camp, and with him the younger Lester Beach Platt, a visitor from the east. All were homeward-bound for the reservation after a fine hunt.</p><br>
<p>Sioux chiefs Little Wound and Pawnee Killer and their followers of Cut-off Oglalas had hunted along tributaries to the Republican further west. In July the sub-agent in camp, Antoine Janis, banned an expedition against the Utes to avenge the loss of a man and some horses. The camp moved closer to the Republican.</p><br>
<p>About 700 Brule-Sioux Indians sought out buffalo on these Nebraska hunting grounds in early August, in addition. Chief Two Strikes was in the camp and Sub-agent Stephen F. Eastes.</p><br>
<p>Some Oglalas brought news of the big Pawnee camp on August 3. Chief Little Wound told Antoine Janis that he had stopped them from going against the Utes. Now, "the young men had determined to fight" the Pawnees, not to lose men and horses again. Janis said he had no order to keep them from fighting the Pawnee here. His suggestion to meet and talk with their enemy was turned down. Later he told his sister, Susan Bordeaux Bettelyoun, that to restrain the warriors "... you might as well stop an avalanche".</p><br>
<p>All Sioux tipis in the area got the news. A boy eyewitness recalled many years later that "instantly all the warriors began to get ready to go on the warpath...". In his understanding, the braves defended their hunting grounds. During the day around 1000 warriors set off for the Pawnee to make a joint, quick attack and prevent the enemy from striking first.</p><br>
<h2>Trail Agent Williamson's account</h2><br>
<p>John Williamson, 23, was assigned as the Pawnee trail-agent at the Genoa Agency, the Pawnee reservation, and accompanied the Pawnee on their hunt. He wrote his recollections of the battle decades after the incident.</p><br>
<p>"On the fourth day of August we reached the north bank of the Republican River and went into camp. At 9 oclock that evening, three white men came into camp and reported to me that a large band of Sioux warriors camped 25 miles northwest, waiting for an opportunity to attack the Pawnees for several days, anticipating that we would move up the river where buffaloes were feeding. Previous to this, white men visited us and warned us to be on our guard against Sioux attacks, and I was a trifle skeptical as to the truth of the story told by our white visitors. But one of the men, a young man about my age at the time, appeared to be so sincere in his efforts to impress upon me that the warning should be heeded, that I took him to Sky Chief who was in command that day, for a conference. Sky Chief said the men were liars; that they wanted to scare the Pawnees away from the hunting grounds so that white men could kill buffaloes for hides. He told me I was squaw and a coward. I took exception to his remarks, and retorted: I will go as far as you dare go. Dont forget that.</p><br>
<p>"The following morning August 5, we broke camp and started north, up the divide between the Republican and the Frenchman Rivers. Soon after leaving camp, Sky Chief rode up to me and extending his hand said, Shake, brother. He recalled our little unpleasantness the night previous and said he did not believe there was cause for alarm, and was so impressed with the belief that he had not taken the precaution to throw out scouts in the direction the Sioux were reported to be. A few minutes later a buffalo scout signaled that buffaloes had been sighted in the distance, and Sky Chief rode off to engage in the hunt. I never saw him again. He had killed a buffalo and was skinning it when the advance guard of the Sioux shot and wounded him. The Chief attempted to reach his horse, but before he was able to mount, several of the enemy surrounded him. He died fighting. A Pawnee, who was skinning a buffalo a short distance away but managed to escape, told me how Sky Chief died."</p><br>
<h2>The battle</h2><br>
<p>The morning of August 5 the Pawnees went up a canyon. Men looking for game took the lead and the families followed with loaded down packhorses. Soon after the battle was on.</p><br>
<p>A number of the Pawnee huntsmen in front seem to have been the first fatalities, lured into a Sioux trap by a decoy.</p><br>
<p>The Pawnee prepared for defense. Williamson with either Platt or the schooled Pawnee Ralph Weeks rode out to arrange a peace council, but bullets forced them back.</p><br>
<p>The Pawnees say that Sky Chief lived during the first part of the battle. He fought for his tribe, shouting words of encouragement to it. He killed his own little son with his knife, telling the Sioux that they would not get his child.</p><br>
<p>The Pawnee version of the Massacre Canyon battle tells of a few individuals&#39; fate and relates some peculiar incidents.</p><br>
<p>The Sioux proved too strong. Women threw hides, dried meat and saddles from the packhorses and the Pawnee started a disorganized retreat. "The withdrawal was a rout as the Sioux shot from both banks of the canyon into the fleeing Pawnee". In Culbertson, ten miles east of the battlefield, the residents heard the sound of gunfire.</p><br>
<p>East of Culbertson camped Capt. Charles Meinhold with his small command from Fort McPherson, by twist of fate. All through the morning Pawnee survivors found the camp as well as Williamson and Platt, who had made his escape early during the fight. The Pawnees got instructions to proceed further east.</p><br>
<h2>The next hours and days</h2><br>
<p>The whites rode up the canyon in the afternoon. "The first body we came upon was that of a woman", remembered Platt. Army Dr. David Franklin Powell described the march up the battleground: "We advanced from the mouth of the ravine to its head and found fifty-nine dead Pawnees...". A number of the dead women lay naked. "Although the Pawnees made a stand and fought through the day, over a hundred were wounded, killed, or raped and mutilated".</p><br>
<p>Sometime after the battle the Sioux warriors rode into camps. "One of the men in advance was waving a scalp. This caused great excitement. The men paraded around the village... Everybody appeared to be happy and rejoicing". Later well-known Sioux Indian Luther Standing Bear got the impression that "about three hundred Pawnees were killed". Eastes reported one Sioux killed and some badly wounded. The Cut-off Oglalas had suffered no casualties at all, according to their sub-agent. This is at odds with narratives of what happened in the canyon that day.</p><br>
<p>People from the nearest communities visited the scene of the battle over the following days. Royal Buck wrote to the readers of Nebraska City News that "It was a massacre and nothing more, and near 100 victims are lying on the ground and full two thirds are squaws and pappooses ".</p><br>
<p>News of the defeat reached the remaining Pawnees in the reservation on August 8 through a runner. "This produced intense excitement in the village, sorrowful wailings were heard all day".</p><br>
<p>The Pawnee survivors made the 80 miles or so to Plum Creek near the Platte. Here Dr. William M. Bancroft gave professional assistance to the wounded. By train they arrived at Silver Creek, around ten miles south of the Pawnee Agency. The last tribal buffalo hunt of the Pawnee in Nebraska ended soon after.</p><br>
<h2>Afterwards</h2><br>
<p>The last week of August, Williamson was back in Massacre Canyon. He covered the dead with dirt broken down from the banks.</p><br>
<p>The number of Pawnee victims on the battlefield range from at least 50 to "156". A source often quoted is Agent William Burgess, who stated that "20 men, 39 women and 10 children" were killed.</p><br>
<p>Pawnees taken captive were let loose after a request from the whites. Before long they joined their tribe.</p><br>
<p>The Pawnee received $9,000 for the loss of more than 100 horses, 20 tons of dried meat and all sorts of equipment. The money came from the annuities of the Sioux, as stipulated in the 1868 Sioux Treaty, Article 1.</p><br>
<p>This incident, in particular, caused the government nationwide to intensify "its efforts to keep the Indians confined to their reservation" in an endeavor to curtail intertribal warfare. On a local level, Maj. Gen. George Crook "dispatched a small force" to protect the Pawnee Agency. The presence of troops did not stop the Sioux raids.</p><br>
<p>In the Lakota winter count of Cloud-Shield, the victory is remembered as the winter "they killed many Pawnees on the Republican river." The Pawnee Indians talk about "The hunters that were massacred".</p><br>
<p>It was half a century after the battle before the Pawnee and the Sioux smoked the pipe of peace during the Massacre Canyon Pow Wow in 1925.</p><br>
<h2>Monument</h2><br>
<p>The Massacre Canyon Monument was dedicated on Sept. 26, 1930. It was the first historical monument erected in Nebraska by federal grant. It stands on a three-acre (1.2 ha) plot, three miles (4.8 km) east of Trenton off USA Route 34, after having been moved from its original location overlooking the Republican River valley. The monument was constructed from Minnesota pink granite from a quarry in St. Cloud by R.P. Colling, Indianola, Nebraska. The shaft of the obelisk is 35 ft high. The base measures 9 ft by 9.5 ft across; the bottom of the shaft is five feet (1.5 m) across, tapering to 32 in near the top. The entire monument weighs 91 tons (83,000 kg).</p><br>
<p>The monument is located in a small park area with picnic tables and a visitor center that features exhibits about early pioneers, the tribal customs of the Sioux and the Pawnee people and a gift shop.</p><br>
<p>The Chickamauga Lodge No. 221, Free and Accepted Masons, Prince Hall Affiliate, also known as Chickamauga Masonic Lodge No. 221, was built in 1924. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story 20 ft tall, 24 ft wide, 36 ft deep building with a wood frame structure set on a foundation of cement blocks, brick and rocks. It was built by members during 1921-24. As of 2006, it had been covered with red rolled asphalt siding since 1952. The NRHP nomination noted that the asphalt siding preserved the building and was installed during the NRHP-eligible historic period (i.e. more than 50 years before the NRHP listing date). However, the April 2011 photo (here, to the right) shows that the asphalt siding had been removed.</p><br>
<p>As of 2006 the lodge continued to be an active lodge. It has original wooden handcrafted lodge furnishings used for ceremonial meetings.</p><br>
<p>The Langshiang Falls is located near the village of Sangriang, 24 km from Nongstoin, in West Khasi Hills district in the Indian state of Meghalaya. It can also be seen from Mawpon village.</p><br>
<p>The total height of the falls is generally quoted at around 337 m. However, that needs to be confirmed. Considering the height to be correct, it is the 3rd highest waterfalls in India.</p><br>
<p>Langshiang, about 24-25 km from Nongstoin, is about 30 minutes walk from Sangriang village. The Mighty Kynshi River after splitting and forms the 2nd largest River Island in Asia meets somewhere on the upstream side of Langchong (Langshiang) area. The river passes through a valley and forms a pool called ‘Wei Spi’ and is surrounded by breathtaking giant cliff. The river then divert it downstream to a deep gorge forming one of the highest and biggest waterfall in the state popularly known as the ‘Langshiang Falls’ or ‘kshaid Ur-Nar’. It offers one of the best panoramic views of the green lawn hills nearby and surrounding by hamlets including the village of Mawpon. Langchong consist of some falls, closer to wei spi there are two waterfalls called the ‘kshaid chong’ falls and ‘wei spi’ falls.</p><br>
<p>As the river flows downstream, it goes through deep gorge and there is an upcoming project known as the Kynshi HEP. The project will significantly enhance development and secondary benefits like boost to tourism.</p><br>

<p>The Nathaniel Curtis House is a Georgian style house at 600 Housatonic Avenue in Stratford, Connecticut. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, five bays wide, with a central entrance, central chimney, and side gable roof. A leanto section extending from the rear gives the house a classic colonial saltbox appearance. The main entrance is a framed by a Federal style surround, with pilasters supporting an entablature and full gabled pediment. Built c. 1735, it is one of Stratford&#39;s few surviving 18th-century houses. It was moved, by water, on a barge, in 1973, to its present location on the bank of the Housatonic River. Although the original foundation stones were not moved, the chimney was.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>Chesterfield Inn, also known as Chesterfield Inn and Motor Lodge, was a historic hotel located at Myrtle Beach in Horry County, South Carolina. The Chesterfield Inn consisted of two three-story, rectangular buildings constructed in 1946 and 1965. The 1946 building was of frame construction with a brick veneer exterior, with an end to front gable roof, and a raised basement foundation. It was an unusual example of Colonial Revival style architecture in the Myrtle Beach area.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. It was removed from the list on October 23, 2013 after being demolished to make way for a miniature golf course in 2012.</p><br>
<p>The original Chesterfield was a five-room house built in 1936 by Steven Chapman of Chesterfield, South Carolina. That house burned and was replaced in 1946. Clay Brittain, whose uncle built the brick building, worked there as a teenager and became an owner in 1965, running the hotel until 1991. In April 2002, Parkside Inn & Suites of Anaheim, California bought the inn and improved it after Centura Bank foreclosed.</p><br>
<p>By 2004, Karon Mitchell and her family owned the Chesterfield. In 2009, Mitchell announced plans to tear down the inn for a mini golf course to accompany the new Myrtle Beach Boardwalk.</p><br>
<p>The plan was delayed by the economic downturn, but by the end of June 2012 demolition was scheduled. People who wanted artifacts were able to collect them on June 19, 2012. The mini golf course was scheduled to open the following March.</p><br>
<p>On August 22, 2012, the Chesterfield Inn was demolished by construction crews. Shark Attack Adventure Golf opened on the site in Spring 2013, with bricks from the old inn painted with the green and white "Chesterfield" sign. Hammerhead Grill followed in the summer in June, with tables made from the inn&#39;s floors, and inn-related items on display. On March 1, 2017, Joshua Laniado, who bought the property in February after the miniature golf course closed, announced a mixed-use development might be built on the site.</p><br>

<p>The Briscoe Mounds, officially Illinois Archaeological Survey No. Wi-25, is an archaeological site in Channahon, Illinois. The mound site is located along the north edge of the Des Plaines River and is the largest mound site in northern Illinois.</p><br>
<p>The site takes its name from the Briscoe family, who owned the property until selling it to the state. Briscoe Mounds is now owned by the Illinois State Museum, who plan on building a visitor center in the future.</p><br>
<p>The two mounds on the site were built between 1200 and 1500 AD in the Mississippian Period. The first survey of the mounds was in 1938; a later survey in 1940 revealed nine distinctive pieces of pottery. The mounds were excavated in 1964, revealing sixteen bodies. The mounds were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>The Hiram B. Scutt Mansion or Scutt Mansion, also known as Barb Villa, is a historic residence in Joliet, Illinois.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Hiram Scutt was a Civil War veteran who opened H. B. Scutt & Co., the first barbed wire manufacturer in Joliet, in 1874. Scutt held ten patents for varieties of barbed wire fencing. The mansion was designed by Joliet architect James C. Wesse and was built in 1882. It was constructed in the Second Empire style with elements influenced by the Eastlake Movement. Scutt sold his business in 1884 and started the Joliet Barbed Wire Company. He also was the president of the Joliet Wire Check Power Company and the Citizens Electric Company. Following his death from a riding accident in 1889, Hiram&#39;s son Frank W. Scutt owned the mansion.</p><br>
<p>The house was later sold to Daniel Watson, who allowed a variety of womens schools, such as the Business Womans Club House, to operate in mansion. The mansion held such classes until 1977, when it again became solely a single-family residence. Recently, the house has been opened to the public as a banquet hall. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 5, 2003.</p><br>
<p>The banquet hall has been further converted into the P. Seth Magosky Museum of Victorian Life by Patrick Magosky, father of local historian Seth Magosky who died in the home during the conversion. Left in its original state of furnishing and decoration, the museum was used for private weddings, corporate meetings, private parties, church groups, and as a movie location. The museum was also a common attraction for a murder-mystery dinner theater and paranormal investigation groups. The museum was closed in January 2013 and all the Victorian era contents and period dolls were taken out.</p><br>
<p>As of May, 2014, the house is in foreclosure, with the listing price under $160,000. However, nothing on the real estate page alludes to the history of being haunted. The historic haunted mansion of Joliet didnt stay on the market long, and the real estate agent selling the paranormal property credited Patch for getting word out about the foreclosure on North Broadway. "Youre responsible for this going viral," agent Maria C. Cronin said, telling how she had 175 people come through a Saturday open house—and that was after she closed the sale of the Hiram Scutt mansion. The national historic landmark fell into foreclosure and was taken by a bank. Cronin listed the property at $159,900 but said a bidding war drove up the price.</p><br>
<h2>Hauntings</h2><br>
<p>It has been determined that two murders have taken place in the estate, as well as the death of (at least) three of the homes owners in the house. Many paranormal investigation groups to have conducted investigation events in the home have also claimed the spirits of children and other entities remain in the house, including the Lady in Black, believed to be Adelaide Scutt, Hirams Scutt&#39;s wife, who is seen dressed in mourning clothes. She saddened by the death of her daughter and husband, Hiram after he fell off his horse and broke his neck.</p><br>
<h2>On television</h2><br>
<p>The Scutt Mansion was featured in a season two episode of Paranormal Lockdown, where former homeowner Andrea Magosky quoted that the "house is cursed" after the house claimed her son Seth who died from an abdominal aneurysm and seriously injuring her husband, Patrick who fell down a spiral staircase he built, breaking his back. She also showed the hosts of the show an upside down horseshoe over a door frame Hiram Scutt put there that she believes is the cause of the curse.</p><br>
<p>The Benjamin and Mary Ann Bradford House is a private house located at 48145 Warren Road in Canton, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1825, Moses Bradford moved to Canton Township from Monroe County, New York, one of the first settlers to stake a claim in the area. The following year, Aruna and Mary Bradford, Mosess parents, followed their son to Canton Township. On arrival, they bought the property this house now sits on. Aruna Bradford purchased more land during the following years, and in 1835 sold the parcel where this house sits to their other son, Benjamin. Apparently the Bradfords were engaged in dairy farming, as the 1860 agricultural census reports the farm producing 1,500 lb of butter and 2,000 lb of cheese. In 1860, Benjamin built the house that now stands on the property; it remained in the Bradford family until 1911. The house is significant not just because of its association with one of the townships pioneering families, but also because its fine construction reflects the increasing wealth of the early pioneering families in the area.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Benjamin and Mary Ann Bradford House is a two-story Greek Revival structure with a symmetrical front facade and side gables. The house sits on a fieldstone foundation, and the original clapboard is covered with aluminum siding. The front door is flanked by pilasters and sidelights, and concrete steps lead to the door.

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first Quaker meeting for worship in Delaware was held in New Castle at the house of Governor Lovelace in September 1672, when George Fox visited the town. After William Penn became proprietor of the "Three Lower Counties," as Delaware was then known, regular meetings were formed in Newark, Centre and New Castle. Regular meetings did not begin in Wilmington until 1735 when William and Elizabeth Shipley built a one-story brick house near Fourth and Shipley Streets that was used for worship as a Preparative Meeting, officially beginning in 1738. In 1750 the status of Monthly Meeting was granted by the Concord Quarterly Meeting.</p><br>
<p>The first dedicated meetinghouse was built across the street from the current site in 1738 and measured 25 ft square. The second meetinghouse was built in 1748 on the current site and could hold 500 people. The present building was opened on September 25, 1817 and is said to hold 700 people. A school was founded here in 1748 in the meetinghouse built in 1738, which has evolved into the Wilmington Friends School. In 1937 the school moved from Quaker Hill to the Alapocas neighborhood of Wilmington.</p><br>
<p>John Dickinson, the "penman of the Revolution," is buried in the adjoining burial ground, as are abolitionist Thomas Garrett and Delaware Governor Caleb P. Bennett.

That same year, the Poles organized the St. Joseph&#39;s Society. A parish was formed, attended by the Benedictines. In 1896, upon the recommendation of Archbishop Michael Corrigan of New York, Father John S. Gulcz was appointed the first resident pastor. Gulcz was born in Poznan, Poland and came from New York to serve the Polish community of Wilmington. He set about organizing the construction of a new church building to replace the small one established by the Benedictines.</p><br>
<p>In the early twentieth century the Felician Sisters oversaw the education of over 500 pupils in the parish school.</p><br>
