<p>The Oliver White Tavern is a historic former tavern at 2 Brandy Street in Bolton, Connecticut, built approximately 1750. The tavern is significant because of its association with the march of Rochambeau&#39;s army during the American Revolutionary War, on their way to the Battle of Yorktown. Records show that the army encamped in a nearby field. A contemporary map identifies a house at this site, marked as a tavern. Soldiers camped in fields, but officers typically were housed in local taverns, when available.</p><br>
<p>The land was purchased by Oliver White in 1741. He sold the land with a house in 1743. It was used as a dwelling until sometime between 1753 and 1764, when it was converted for use to a tavern. The building was no long owned by Oliver White when it became a tavern, but it was traditional at that time to keep the original owner&#39;s name even after sale, so it became known as the Oliver White Tavern.</p><br>
<p>The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>

<p>St. Lawrence Catholic Church is a parish of the Archdiocese of Dubuque. It is located in rural Jackson County, Iowa, United States, in Otter Creek Township. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The parish&#39;s first church building was a small stone structure completed in 1866. It soon became too small and a frame Methodist Church nearby was bought to house the growing congregation. The present church building, completed in 1883, was designed by Dubuque architect Fridolin Heer. It is constructed in limestone in the Gothic Revival style. The rectangular structure measures roughly 51 by with a 15 by projecting tower on the main facade. The tower is capped by an octagon-shaped belfry and spire. There is a Gothic arched window in the tower above the main entrance and in each of the six bays on the sides. The main facade is the south elevation and on the opposite side of the church is a rose window.</p><br>
<p>Lainhart Farm Complex and Dutch Barn is a historic farm complex and Dutch barn located at Altamont in Albany County, New York. The farm was originally leased from the Dutch settler Stephen Van Rensselaer by Michael Leonhardt who emigrated from Pfaltz, Germany. Michael Leonhardt signed a deed with Van Rennselaer granting Michael "inheritable rights" to the property, which would pass on to his offspring. The cost of the lease was five shillings and a yearly rent of 22 skepples of winter wheat, four "fat fowls," and one day of providing transportation for the Van Rensselaers—with carriage and horses—on the second day of January of each year.</p><br>
<p>Michael Leonhardt was killed by a falling tree in March 1796 leaving behind three sons and seven daughters and his wife Maria. The tombstone listing Michael&#39;s cause of death can be found in the Lainhart cemetery on the property. The farm has remained in the possession of the Lainhart family ever since.</p><br>
<p>The complex includes the farmhouse (ca. 1851), smoke house (ca. 1851), wagon house (ca. 1851), horse barn, (ca. 1851), Dutch barn (ca. 1819), and family burial ground (ca. 1796). The farmhouse is a two-story, timber framed, gabled "L", Greek Revival style dwelling.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<p>Tombelaine is a small tidal island off the coast of Normandy in France. It lies a few kilometres north of Mont Saint-Michel. At low tide the island can be reached on foot  from the coast of Cotentin, 3.5 km to the northeast, and from Mont Saint-Michel.</p><br>
<p>The island lies just to the south of the course of the Sélune river, which has to be forded to access the island from Cotentin. The island is 250 metres by 150 metres, and 45 metres high. It is composed of granite. It is in the commune of Genêts.</p><br>
<h2>Name</h2><br>
<p>According to popular etymology the name means "the tomb of Hélène", from a princess named Hélène, daughter of King Hoël, said to have been buried on the rock.</p><br>
<p>The name could also come from tumulus belenis, the "tumulus of Belenos", a Celtic god, or from Celtic words meaning "the little mountain", in contrast with Mont St-Michel.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the 11th century, two monks from Mont Saint-Michel were hermits on Tombelaine. In 1137 Bernard du Bec founded a priory on the island, and it became a place of pilgrimage.</p><br>
<p>On 11 February 1423, in the Hundred Years War, Tombelaine was occupied by the English as a base to attack Mont Saint-Michel. In the 16th-century French religious wars, Gabriel, comte de Montgomery, leader of the Huguenot armies, occupied the island.</p><br>
<p>In 1666 the marquis de la Chastrière ordered the destruction of the island&#39;s fortifications, in case they were again used by the English.</p><br>
<p>The island was purchased by the state in 1933, and was declared a historic monument by a decree of 1936. It became a bird reserve in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The IOOF Building in Ashland, Oregon, also known as Oddfellows Building, is a two-story eclectic-styled building in "The Plaza" area of Ashland that was built in 1879. Historically its second story served as a clubhouse of the local International Order of Odd Fellows chapter and the ground floor provided specialty store space. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, for its architecture. From its construction to 1978, the building had served well in the active "Plaza" area of Medford, and continued in its original purposes. Behind the building, by 1978 there was a landscaped park area which had been extended from nearby Lithia Park, where there was once a mill flume.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The IOOF Building was built by Jacob, Fox, Guerin, a local builder.</p><br>
<p>The building replaced one that was destroyed in a fire on March 4, 1879.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The main portion of the building is 60 ft by 65 ft by 35 ft. Upstairs about 32 ft by 60 ft was reserved for use by the Oddfellows, and there is a large kitchen and other rooms. The downstairs area is divided into three units and was intended for, and is still used for, retail space. While lower portions of the front façade have been remodeled (including covering bricks by stucco), the upper portion was mostly unchanged from the original, as of 1978, besides having been painted. It had four-over-four lights/windows and has parapets above, with finials that were added at some date after original construction. Photos from c.1890, 1976, and 2011 show upper windows substantially the same; both upper and lower sashes were moveable as of 1978. The sides and rear of the building remained unpainted. Two extensions to the rear had been added. In the lower portion, there originally was an arch (perhaps over the door?) which had a glass spandrel area, which has been filled, and the windows have been changed.</p><br>
<p>The Harrisburg Odd Fellows Hall in the small community of Harrisburg, Oregon, also known as I.O.O.F. Covenant Lodge No. 12, was built in 1882. Odd Fellows chapter members L. Stites, a local brickmason and brickyard owner, and John Martin, a carpenter, significantly helped in its construction. The Harrisburg Disseminator then declared it to be "the finest building in this part of the Willamette Valley".</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992 for its architecture, which is Italianate. It served historically as a meeting hall, as a theater, and as a specialty store.</p><br>
<p>It is a prominent historic building in Harrisbury&#39;s old commercial center, and, as of 1992, it had a completely intact lodge hall in the front 50 ft of its second floor. It is a two-story 25 ft by 100 ft brick building that is mostly intact, with exception of its missing cornice. The lodge hall includes plaster walls, coved cornice, door and window trim, tongue-and-grove wainscot, and "bases and crested arched backing daises at opposite ends of the hall".</p><br>
<p>The Goshute Valley is an endorheic landform of the Great Basin. The towns of Oasis and Cobre are in the valley&#39;s north, and the central and north of the valley contains broken flatlands, with short washes draining from the surrounding mountain ranges.</p><br>

<p>Parori , formerly Beskeni  is a small village located about 27 kilometres north of Livadeia, the capital of Boeotia in Central Greece. Today, Parori is inhabited by only a small number of full-time residents, the main occupations of the inhabitants are with farming and livestock.</p><br>
<h2>Etymology</h2><br>
<p>Located east of Davleia at the foot of Parnassus mountain.</p><br>
<p>The village was named Bescheni until 1930, when it was renamed to Parori.</p><br>
<p>The Parori a sample of the traditional architecture of Parnassus area, with its stone houses, narrow cobbled streets, beautiful tiled roofs and traditional decorative elements. It is worth seeing the traditional stone floors for cereals.</p><br>
<p>The name Parori become from two possible scenarios. The first theory posits that it derives from its location at the foot of Mount Parnassus (παρά το όρος, i.e. "near the mountain"), and the second from its location in the borders of two regional units Boeotia and Phthiotis (παρά τα όρια, "near the border").</p><br>

<p>Three Lakes Valley is a 25 mi long, partially endorheic valley in southwest Lincoln County and northwest Clark County, Nevada. The southwest of the valley has a narrowing with washes that flow south into the watershed of the Las Vegas Valley, a tributary to Lake Mead&ndash;Colorado River watersheds.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Three Lakes Valley is short, only about 25 mi long, mostly north-south trending. The valley exits southwestwards between the foothills of perimeter mountains.</p><br>
<p>The bordering mountain ranges are the Pintwater Range, arc-shaped and north-south trending, on the west. The eastern borders of the valley are mostly the East Desert Range in the east and northeast; in the extreme southeast lies the northern areas of the Desert Range, where washes exit on the west to flow into the northwest-by-southeast Las Vegas Valley.</p><br>
<p>The Dog Bone Lake lakebed comprises about half the valley. Short washes mark the east and west valley perimeter; a longer string of washes extend northwest into a narrowing watershed source, between the convergence of the northern Pintwater Range and the northwest of the East Desert Range.</p><br>
<p>The Slack–Comstock–Marshall Farm is a farm in Uniontown, Arkansas. Built in 1918, the farmhouse was constructed in the Plain Traditional style and has an uncommon vernacular design. The house was originally built as a small building and was later expanded by adding rooms, a common practice at the time. However, the Slack–Comstock–Marshall farmhouse is unusual in that it was expanded by a large three-room, -story addition with a cross gable roof. A wraparound porch was also added to the house to integrate the large addition with the rest of the design. The farm was used by three families to raise livestock and grow cotton, corn, and strawberries; it is now owned by descendants of the Marshall family.</p><br>
<p>The farm was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 9, 1995.</p><br>

The theft, from what was described as "... probably the best preserved medieval rood screen in the country", was widely reported by the media.</p><br>
<p>Beacon Hill is the highest hill in eastern Monmouthshire, South Wales. It is located 0.6 mi due east of the village of Trellech, and 1 mi north-west of Llandogo. Its crowning point at 306m / 1006 ft above sea level is marked by an Ordnance Survey triangulation pillar. The summit, eastern slopes and uppermost western slopes are owned by Natural Resources Wales which manages the area not only for timber production but for recreation also.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>The summit of the hill is formed from the Quartz Conglomerate Group which is assigned by geologists to the Upper Old Red Sandstone - a sequence of sedimentary rocks laid down during the late Devonian period. This pebbly sandstone occurs in an outcrop through eastern Monmouthshire and neighbouring Gloucestershire and caps other hills of local significance.</p><br>
<h2>Access</h2><br>
<p>All freehold land owned by the former Forestry Commission Wales (now succeeded by Natural Resources Wales) was dedicated as access land under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 and is thus freely available to those on foot. Numerous forest tracks cross the hill&#39;s slopes. A car park has been provided on the western side and information panels installed at the site to assist visitors to interpret the extensive views from breaks in the woodland cover.</p><br>

<p>The LSU Campus Mounds or LSU Indian Mounds are two Native American mounds, of the Archaic Period, on the campus of Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. They are part of a larger, statewide system of mounds. They were probably used for "ceremonial and marking point purposes," That date would make them part of the oldest mound system in North America, Mesoamerica or South America and also means they predate the building of the Great Pyramids of Egypt.</p><br>
<h2>Location and history</h2><br>
<p>The mounds overlook the floodplain of the Mississippi River. The northern mound consists of hard clay dirt; the southern mound is more porous. Since 1999 they are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>An archaeological excavation of the northern mound took place in spring of 2011.</p><br>
<h2>Folklore</h2><br>
<p>Different stories about the origin of the mounds have circulated. One widespread myth was that the mounds were made of dirt dug up for the Huey P. Long pool on the LSU campus. While archeologists do not believe they were burial mounds, another myth holds that the mounds are haunted by the ghosts of the dead.</p><br>
<h2>Save the Mounds</h2><br>
<p>On September 30, 2010, LSU announced the "Save the Mounds" campaign to preserve the mounds. Officials from the school stated that the mounds had suffered internal structural damage that would lead to their eventual collapse. While they were formerly used for tailgate parties, in 2010 they began to be fenced off during LSU&#39;s home football games to prevent them from being damaged.</p><br>
<p>The River Ithon  is a major left-bank tributary of the River Wye in Powys, mid Wales. It rises in the broad saddle between the western end of Kerry Hill and the hill of Glog to its west and flows initially southwards to Llanbadarn Fynydd. It then takes a twisting route south via the villages of Llanbister, Llanddewi Ystradenni and Penybont before turning southwest, then doubling back northwards towards Crossgates. From here it resumes a southwesterly course, flowing past Llandrindod Wells to a confluence with the Wye, 1 mile to the south of Newbridge-on-Wye.</p><br>
<h2>Camddwr</h2><br>
<p>The Camddwr is a left-bank tributary of the Ithon. It rises in undulating countryside to the east of Llanbister and flows in a generally southwesterly direction to join the Ithon at Abercamddwr.</p><br>
<p>The Odd Fellows and Confederate Cemetery, at the corner of Cemetery and Commerce Streets in Grenada, Mississippi is a historic cemetery. It includes Gothic architecture, Romanesque architecture, Classical architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988, for architectural criteria.</p><br>
<p>The Confederate section contains about 150 graves of Confederate soldiers who died in the Grenada area.</p><br>
<p>The cemeteries may contain burials from several specific calamities. Grenada suffered a tornado on May 7, 1846, which destroyed 112 houses and killed 21 persons. And it suffered a fire in 1855 which burned about half of the towns buildings. And soon after the fall of Vicksburg, Grenada was site of a Union cavalry raid on August 18 and 19, 1863, which overwhelmed a token defensive force and destroyed the towns railway depot, railyard buildings, eighty locomotives and 200 freight cars.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery may also include burials of victims of a devastating Yellow Fever epidemic in 1878 which killed at least 363 individuals, including the mayor, of a town of about 2,000 total population.</p><br>

<p>The Gothic Mountains is a group of mountains, 32 km long, in the Queen Maud Mountains of Antarctica, located west of Watson Escarpment and bounded by Scott Glacier, Albanus Glacier, and Griffith Glacier. The mountains were first visited in December 1934 by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition  geological party led by Quin Blackburn. The name was proposed by Edmund Stump, leader of a U.S. Antarctic Research Program  - Arizona State University geological party which made investigations here in the 1980-81 season. The mountains are composed of granites which have weathered to produce a series of spires and peaks reminiscent of a Gothic cathedral.</p><br>
<h2>Key mountains</h2><br>
<p>* Altar Peak ({{coord|86|4|S|150|23|W|}}) is a peak (1,780 m) located 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) east-southeast of Mount Harkness. The feature was first visited in December 1934 by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition geological party under Quin Blackburn. The descriptive name was suggested by Edmund Stump, leader of a United States Antarctic Research Program (USARP)-Arizona State University geological party which studied this peak, 1987-88.</p><br>
<p>* Grizzly Peak ({{coord|86|00|S|150|00|W|type:mountain}}) is a peak rising to 2,200 m on the southwest flank of Mount Zanuck. The feature was visited in December 1934 by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition geological party and was included in "Darryl Zanuck Mountain." The granite of this peak is highly jointed and fairly bristles with small spires, suggestive of the coat of a grizzly bear.</p><br>
<p>*Mount Zanuck ({{coord|85|58|S|151|10|W|}}) is a mountain about 8 km long surmounted by three sharp peaks in an east-west line, the highest of which rises to 2,525 m. The feature stands at the south side of Albanus Glacier at the point where the latter joins Scott Glacier. Discovered by Byrd on the Byrd Antarctic Expedition flight to the South Pole in November 1929. The mountain was visited in December 1934 by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition geological party under Quin Blackburn. Named by Byrd for Darryl F. Zanuck, official of Twentieth Century-Fox Pictures, who assisted the Byrd Antarctic Expedition, 1933–35, in assembling motion-picture records, and later supplied the United States Antarctic Service (USAS), 1939–41, with motion-picture projectors.</p><br>
<p>* Zanuck East Peak ({{coord|85|57|S|150|53|W|}}) is the easternmost of the three high peaks that rise from Mount Zanuck massif. The peak was discovered and mapped by the geological party of the Byrd Antarctic Expedition, 1933–35, led by Quin Blackburn. The name was applied in association with Mount Zanuck by members of New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE) who climbed the peak in the 1969-70 season.</p><br>

<p>The church was used for filming of the 2014 British horror film The Borderlands.</p><br>
<p>Sardis Baptist Church is a historic church near Union Springs, Alabama.</p><br>
<p>Settlers from the Edgefield District, South Carolina, organized the Sardis Baptist Church on June 10, 1837. The first building, a log cabin, was constructed in 1841 after John M. Dozier and his wife, Amy Youngblood Dozier, deeded four and one-half acres to the church for a building and cemetery. The present building, constructed in 1850, is an exceptionally fine example of rural antebellum church architecture of Greek Revival style.</p><br>
<p>Relatively unaltered since construction, its four columns support a full entablature and low-pitched roof. Each of the two primary entrances have double-paneled doors trimmed with unadorned molding, and each side of the building has four tall, shuttered, 18-light windows.</p><br>
<p>The church ultimately became inactive in the 1950s. The building was renovated and repaired in 1940-41 and then again in 1992-93.</p><br>
<p>In the cemetery, the oldest tombstone bears the name of Moses E. Martin, died May 18, 1848. Part of the cemetery near the church served the African-American community during the early years. As the need arose for more space, William Andrew Martin and his wife, Nancy Strom Martin, who had bought the adjoining land from the Doziers in 1860, allowed the church to extend the cemetery southward onto their property.</p><br>
<p>Sardis School, a community school, was located on the church property across the highway from the church on the corner of Highway 223 and County Road 22. Newspaper articles indicate the school was operating in 1861 and 1870. The old Sardis School building was subsequently moved east on County Road 22 where it became, as it remains today, the living room of the Livingston Paulk home.</p><br>
<p>In 1867, the Buena Vista Masonic Lodge No. 169 was located just north of the church property.</p><br>
<p>The church was added to the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage on December 19, 1991 and the National Register of Historic Places on November 29, 2001.</p><br>
<p>Mount Sterling Methodist Church is a historic Methodist church building near the junction of Choctaw County Road 43 and Choctaw County Road 27 in the rural community of Mount Sterling, Alabama. It is an almost unaltered example of the simple, Greek Revival style popular for rural churches in the mid-19th century. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 8, 1986.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The church was completed in a simple Greek Revival style in 1859, when the community was a prosperous antebellum town. The land for the church was donated by the Catterlin family, early Choctaw County settlers who had established the a post office in Mount Sterling in 1838. The one-story frame building was the first in the county to be built exclusively as a church; an earlier Baptist church was originally built as a Masonic lodge and seminary. It used for church services up until the 1970s, when the dwindling congregation could no longer afford to maintain it. In 1980, the property was donated to the Choctaw County Historical Society. The historical society, at the time having only just under 50 members, spent more than 15 years raising money and restoring the structure for use as a community hall. It is one of only two remaining 19th century churches in the Mount Sterling area, the other being St. John&#39;s Christian Methodist Episcopal Church.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The church is a rectangular structure with a gable roof running the length of the building. It sits on individual brick piers. The exterior is clad in lap board siding painted white. The front façade has two pairs of entry doors under the plain gable-end pediment. Each side has four, nine-over-nine sash windows with shutters, while the rear has two such windows. The square, pyramidal roofed steeple sits near the entrance end of the building, and is clad is lap board with vents in each side. A small addition, with details closely matching the main building, has been built off the southeast side of the church, with a covered walkway connecting it to the main building.</p><br>
<p>The interior consists of one large room that was partitioned on the south end in the 1950s to create two Sunday school rooms. The roof support system is unique to southwest Alabama, and consists of a single truss with vertical tie rods running the length of the building, which is notched to be attached to the ceiling joists and diagonal trusses. This has caused the bottom chord to crack, and wood columns were added underneath the cracked portion. The original lath and plaster walls have been replaced with drywall, but the original heart pine flooring is intact.</p><br>
<p>Shoal Creek Baptist Church is a historic church in Edwardsville, Alabama. It was built in 1895 and added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 4, 1974. The present church building is apparently the third to have been built at the site.</p><br>
<p>There is no record of the formal end of the church fellowship. The church declined due to membership relocation and by 1914 apparently so many had left, that the church no longer met regularly. The last entry in the existing minutes is dated September 6, 1914. Since the cessation of the church fellowship, the building has been used occasionally for family gatherings, weddings, or for church services of a local congregation. Its most regular use has been for an annual Sacred Harp singing.</p><br>
<p>Claybank Log Church is a historic church in Ozark, Alabama. The building is the second church on the site, replacing a similar structure built in 1829. The current building was constructed by a Methodist minister, although the church was also used for various community functions. It is believed to be the oldest extant building in Dale County. In 1873, the congregation built a new church closer to the center of town. The log church was used only sporadically after 1900, and was purchased by the Claybank Memorial Association in the 1960s. The interior of the church was restored to its original appearance in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The church consists of one large room, measuring 30 feet, 5 inches, by 25 feet, 3 inches (approximately 9 by 7.5 meters). The walls are formed by pine logs ranging in diameter from 12 to 15.5 inches (30 to 40 cm) joined at the corners by dovetail joints.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places November 7,1976.</p><br>
<p>The Anglican Church of St Michael  in Princetown, Devon, England was built between 1810 and 1814. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building, and is a redundant church in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.</p><br>
<p>The granite church stands near the middle of Dartmoor, 436 m above sea level in an exposed location close to Dartmoor Prison. Permission for the construction of the church was given 1812 by the Lord Commissioners of the Admiralty.</p><br>
<p>The three stage west tower is surmounted by pinnacles.</p><br>
<p>The east window has stained glass by Mayer of Munich, which was installed in 1910 in memory of the American prisoners who helped to build the church. The graves of many prisoners are in the churchyard. The window was partially funded by a donation of £250, in 1908, from the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution of 1812 as part of their work commemorating those who died in the War of 1812. The church was declared redundant on 1 November 1995, and was vested in the Trust on 8 January 2001. It is still consecrated and it is used occasionally for services.</p><br>
<p>The Tenino Downtown Historic District is two blocks long, one-half block-deep on either side of Sussex Street in Tenino, Washington. Approximately three acres in size, the district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 25, 2004. Sussex Street is the main thoroughfare through Tenino and is also part of Washington State Route 507.</p><br>
<p>Contributing properties include the State Bank of Tenino, built in 1908; Campbell and Campbell Store, built in 1906-07; Mentzner and Coping Block, built in 1914; Miller Block, built in 1906; VFW Hall/Liberty Theater, built in 1914; Columbia Building, built in 1906; Wolf Building, built in 1908; Henderson and Davis Garage, built in 1924; Masonic Temple, built in 1921; Skaggs Store, built in 1925; Tenino Telephone Office, built in 1925; Wichman Office, built in 1904; and the Russell Building, built in 1908. Other significant but non-contributing buildings in the district are the Mandery-Martin Building, built in 1925 and Jiffy Lunch, built in 1923.</p><br>
<p>The Virginia Street Bridge was a historic concrete double arch bridge in downtown Reno, Nevada, USA, carrying Virginia Street across the Truckee River. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. The bridge is sometimes referred to as the "Wedding Ring Bridge" or the "Bridge of Sighs".</p><br>
<p>In both 2002 and 2006, the bridge was listed as one of the "Eleven Most Endangered Historic Places in Nevada" by Preserve Nevada, a historic preservation organization partnered with the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.</p><br>
<p>Due to structural and flood-control concerns, the bridge was replaced in 2016.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Built in 1905, the current Virginia Street Bridge is the fifth in a series of bridges to have been built in downtown Reno. The first was a wooden bridge built in 1860 by Charles W. Fuller and was hence called Fuller&#39;s Crossing. Even though it was replaced by yet another bridge, it became unneeded after the arrival of the Transcontinental Railroad.</p><br>
<h2>Legend</h2><br>
<p>Legend has it that newly divorced women would, after exiting the Washoe County Courthouse, stand on the Virginia Street Bridge and cast their wedding rings into the Truckee River below. Hence, the bridge became known as the main symbol of Reno, which was called the "Divorce Capital of the World" beginning in 1906. Over the years, salvage divers have found actual rings, according to archivist Guy Rocha.</p><br>
<p>In the 1961 film The Misfits, Marilyn Monroe considers tossing her wedding ring from the Virginia Street Bridge, but decides against it.</p><br>
<p>Parr&#39;s Ridge is a ridge which forms the summit of the Piedmont Plateau region in the U.S. state of Maryland.</p><br>
<p>The ridge, a gentle summit by contrast to Maryland&#39;s Appalachian ridges to the west, extends from southwest to northeast through Montgomery, Howard and Carroll counties. The highest point in Maryland east of the Appalachian Mountains, Dug Hill in northern Carroll County, at an elevation of just over 1100 feet (335 m), is a mile or two to the west of the ridge. The Patuxent and Patapsco rivers both have headwaters on the ridge. The Patuxent headwaters point is dubbed Parr&#39;s Spring, and is the meeting point of four of Maryland&#39;s counties: Howard, Carroll, Montgomery, and Frederick. The Spring is submerged beneath a pond on the grounds of the eponymous "Four County Farm."</p><br>
<p>The area was surveyed by John Parr in 1744, patenting the land as "Parr&#39;s Range". David McMurtrie Gregg marched his troops through the area during the civil war on the way to Gettysburg.</p><br>
<p>Maryland State Route 27 follows the course of Parr&#39;s Ridge.</p><br>
<p>Communities along Parr&#39;s Ridge include, from south to north, Damascus, Mount Airy (where Interstate 70 crosses the ridge), Westminster, Cranberry, Manchester, and Lineboro.</p><br>
<p>The John Yeon Speculative House is a historic house located in Portland, Oregon, United States, built in 1939. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is one of a series of speculative houses by native Oregon architect and conservationist John Yeon following the critically acclaimed Watzek House . The series included nine houses built between 1938 and 1940 in Lake Oswego and Portland. The houses used a modular design concept that pioneered the use of external plywood as a building material and separate ventilation louvers, which allowed for series of fixed pane glass to be inset between vertical mullions. Yeon is frequently cited as one of the originators of what became known as the Northwest Regional style of architecture.</p><br>
<p>Dog Island is an uninhabitated small island of 207 hectare in size located approximately 13 km to the north-west of Anguilla. It is low and rocky, with three small cays off the west and north coasts. The coastline is characterised by low cliffs alternating with sandy beaches. Large ponds lie inside two of the beaches. the island is now privately owned and under development by argentinian billionaire Mr Delvinsky and Mr Taylor. Source Island board 2017</p><br>
<h2>Flora and fauna</h2><br>
<p>The central part of the island is covered in thorny scrub with prickly pear. The island, with the adjacent cays, has been identified as an Important Bird Area by BirdLife International because it is home to large numbers of nesting seabirds, mainly sooty terns with over 100,000 pairs recorded. Other seabirds breeding in smaller numbers include red-billed tropicbirds, magnificent frigatebirds, masked and brown boobies, laughing gulls, bridled terns and brown noddies. Reptiles present include the Anguilla Bank ameiva, Anguilla Bank anole, little dwarf gecko, island least gecko and a Mabuya skink. There are also feral goats.</p><br>
<p>The Benjamin Walworth Arnold House and Carriage House are located on State Street and Washington Avenue in Albany, New York, United States. They are brick structures dating to the beginning of the 20th century. In 1972 they were included as a contributing property to the Washington Park Historic District when it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 1982 they were listed individually as well.</p><br>
<p>Stanford White designed the buildings, which would be his only work in the city, The house is today the offices of the New York State Catholic Conference, and the carriage house an architectural firm&#39;s office.</p><br>
<h2>Buildings</h2><br>
<p>Both buildings are near Sprague Place, a short north-south street that connects State and Washington just north of the 81 acre Washington Park. The house is on a one-acre (4,000 m²) lot taking up, along with a parking lot to the north, the entire west side of the block at the northwest corner of the intersection of State and Sprague opposite the park. The carriage house is on the north side of Washington where it forks to the north from Western Avenue, opposite the intersection of those two streets with Sprague. The surrounding neighborhood is densely developed and urban, with most buildings from the same era, originally designed for residential use. Some mature trees are planted among them, making the transition to the large park to the south less abrupt.</p><br>
<h3>House</h3><br>
<p>The house is a three-story five-by-five-bay structure of brick laid in Flemish bond, with corner quoins, on an exposed white marble foundation. It is topped by a flat roof pierced by three brick chimneys. On the east (front) facade the two bays flanking the center are on rounded projections. An iron fence with brick posts topped by wooden spheres sets it off from the streets on the south and east.</p><br>
<p>On the first floor of both facades windows are six-over-six double-hung sash. They have marble trim with consoles supporting bracketed cornices and entablatures. Small iron railings are attached to the sills. The second and third floor windows are less elaborate, with marble sills and keystoned lintels. On the east facade, the central window has two narrow flanking windows with the same treatment, and the window above it has a small balcony with iron railing and two small keystoned round windows. To the south, where the middle three bays form a slightly projecting pavilion, the end windows on the second story have narrow flanking windows, and the central windows on the upper stories have balconies. At the roofline is a classically inspired cornice with modillion blocks and guttae topped with a wooden balustrade. The north facade, otherwise similar to the south, has a projecting conservatory in the center. On the west there is no facade as the building is joined to the one next to it along State Street.</p><br>
<p>Marble steps lead up to the main entrance and a marble porch with paired fluted Ionic columns supporting a marble entabulature. Above the porch is an iron balustrade forming a balcony. The doorway, in a marble surround, is flanked by two narrow keystoned windows similar to those on the second story. A modern glass and steel door with a transom opens into a central hallway with wooden wainscoting. Decorated lintels are atop the doorways, bridged by a Doric frieze below the ceiling. Its west end is a wooden staircase with three types of Georgian turned balusters.</p><br>
<p>The southeast room is decorated in an Adamesque style, featuring an onyx mantelpiece. To its west is the library, now used as a conference room. Its oak flooring is laid out in a herringbone pattern. Mahogany moldings, chimney breasts and cornice complete the room. The dining room, opposite, is paneled in darker mahogany, complemented by a green marble mantelpiece. Its north wall opens into the conservatory. Next to the dining room is a small breakfast room with mirrors and wooden latticework on its walls. The northeast corner room is done in dark paneling and hand-tooled leather. Another room in the house has a strapped plaster ceiling. The rooms on the second and third stories are more modest, with some having mantelpieces of their own. The billiards room on the third floor has dark paneling and a large fireplace.</p><br>
<h3>Carriage house</h3><br>
<p>Like the house, the carriage house is of brick on a marble foundation, with marble trim. It is two stories tall. At its roofline is a Doric cornice and balustrade. The door and six-over-one double-hung sash windows are capped with flat marble arches. Like the main house, bricks on the south (front) facade are laid in Flemish bond, the other three are in common bond. The north and east facades have windows while the west is blind as it once abutted a neighboring building. Inside its walls were historically unfinished brick and the floor partially paved, with minimal decoration, although that has been changed by the building&#39;s adaption for office use.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1853, Benjamin W. Arnold of Albany had established his lumber business in partnership with a Michigan man. By the 1880s they were selling lumber from all over the Great Lakes via the Erie Canal. A thousand employees worked in their mills, and the firm had a large portion of dock space on Albany&#39;s waterfront. Benjamin Walworth Arnold succeeded his father upon his 1891 death and continued to expand the business. He eventually became president of the Duluth and Northern Minnesota Railroad, and married into the Van Rensselaer family, descendants of the patroons of the area during Dutch Colonial times.</p><br>
<p>By the turn of the century the lumber business in Albany was declining as forests and markets opened up further west. Arnold turned his attentions to more local industries, such as banking, and began giving away money to local causes. In 1904 he commissioned Stanford White, who had worked for Henry Hobson Richardson as a draftsman thirty years earlier on the state capitol but had not built anything of his own in the city, to design a house on the site of an old chapel that was demolished to make way for it, along with a carriage house on a nearby block. It used the new Colonial Revival architectural style, very different from the homes of other wealthy Albany residents built in the area at the time, making it the subject of extended commentary in local newspapers of the time. It was also the first fully electrified home in the city. White, who did not remain in Albany to oversee the construction, was murdered by Harry Thaw two years later, leaving Arnold&#39;s buildings as his only work in Albany.</p><br>
<p>Arnold himself died in 1932, after spending the later years of his life as a trustee of many local colleges and a director of local banks. His widow remained in the property until her death in 1945. The estate sold the house to the New York State College for Teachers (now part of the State University of New York at Albany), which used it as a fraternity house and dormitory. Two local auto mechanics bought the carriage house and converted it into an auto repair shop.</p><br>
<p>In 1956 the Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany bought the house and converted its second floor to office space. A decade later they renovated the first floor, and it served as the bishop&#39;s residence for some time after that. A local insurance company bought the carriage house in 1977 and converted it for office use. It is now used by an architectural firm.</p><br>
<p>Imja Tsho  is a glacial lake created after melt water began collecting at the foot of the Imja Glacier on the lower part of the glacier in the 1950s. A 2009 study described this lake of melt water as one of the fastest-growing in the Himalaya. Held in place by a terminal moraine, Imja Tsho threatens downstream communities with the potential for a glacial outburst flood.</p><br>
<p>Imja Tsho has been identified as one of the potentially dangerous lakes in Himalaya. It is located at 27° 59 17" N latitude, 86° 55 31" E longitude and at an altitude of 5010 m in Everest region of Nepal. The catchment of Imja Tsho occupies the northeastern part of the Dudh Koshi sub-basin. The lake itself is located on the lower part of the glacier at the toe of its mother glaciers (snout of Imja and Lhotse Shar Glaciers). The Lhotse Shar Glacier flows in a south-westerly direction. The Imja Glacier on the other hand is oriented in a north-westerly direction and has its terminus at about 5100 m. These two glaciers coalesce approximately 3.5 km above the terminus and flow westwards just beneath the trekking path of Imja Tse.</p><br>
<p>The lake was first mapped in the form of a few ponds from the satellite image taken in 1962. The total area of the ponds was approximately 0.03 km then (27916 sq m). With the melting of glaciers, the ponds merged into a supra-glacial lake in the 1970s and it has grown continuously ever since. The lake area increased to approximately 0.8 km (796600 sq m) in 2000 with an average growth rate of 0.02 km per year. On the basis of newly released image of 21 November 2009 on Google Earth, the Imja Tsho has attained an area of 1.055 km as a result of which the growth rate of the lake has increased to 0.025 km per year from 2000 to 2009. The preliminary analysis has also shown that there has been an increase of almost 11% in the lake area compared to the area calculated on the basis of satellite image received on October 2008.</p><br>
<p>In 2016 the Nepalese Army constructed an outlet and drained over 4 million cubic meters of water from the lake.</p><br>
<p>Manchuela or La Manchuela  is a comarca located in Castile-La Mancha and Valencian Community, Spain.</p><br>
<h2>Historical comarca</h2><br>
<p>The historical Manchuela comarca included the municipalities of Tarazona de la Mancha and Villalgordo del Júcar, and the Requena-Utiel comarca which had been part of the Cuenca Province until 1851 and is now part of the province of Valencia, Valencian Community, except for Mira.</p><br>
<p>This comarca has been traditionally a place of wheat, olive and wine growers, along with some cattle rearing. There are two wine Designations of Origin in the comarca, Manchuela DO and Ribera del Júcar DO.</p><br>
<h2>Present-day comarca</h2><br>
<p>The present-day Manchuela comarca is divided between Manchuela Albaceteña in Albacete Province, the Manchuela Conquense in Cuenca Province and the Valencian Manchuela (Requena-Utiel) in the Valencia Province. The Júcar River cuts across the high plateau of La Meseta forming deep gorges (Hoces del Júcar) offering spectacular landscapes. The Serranía de Cuenca forms the northern boundary of the comarca, and the Sierra de las Cabrillas the eastern. The western boundary is formed by a section of the Júcar River and the southern the Almansa corridor.</p><br>

<p>The USA Post Office—Yuma Main, also known as Yuma Main Post Office or Yuma Downtown Postal Annex, is the former main post office serving Yuma, Arizona. The post office was constructed in 1933. The buildings design, a work of architect Roy Place, is a blend of the Beaux Arts and Spanish Colonial Revival styles. The design includes a loggia supported by Corinthian columns, wrought iron railings and window bars, a molded belt course between the buildings two stories, a projecting bracketed cornice, and a red tile roof. The post office was built toward the end of the Beaux-Arts phase of federal building design, as government architects shifted to a "starved classicism" style in the ensuing years.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 3, 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Land OLakes State Forest is a state forest located primarily in Cass, Minnesota, with portions extending into adjacent Aitkin and Crow Wing counties. The forest has small shared borders with the Chippewa National Forest to the north, and the Hill River State Forest to east. Over half of the forests land is managed by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources; the remaining land is managed by Cass County or is privately held.</p><br>
<p>The land of the forest was originally covered in old-growth Eastern White and Red Pine, which was logged between 1800 and 1890 by several large timber companies. Originally, logs were driven to sawmills downstream in the Mississippi River via Mitchell Lake. The intensity of logging was increased by the implementation of a railroad grade in 1890 by the Simpson Logging Company. The remaining old-growth pine was logged on the holdings of the Pine Tree Lumber Company, a subsidiary of Weyerhaeuser, in 1907. Natural reforestation was stagnated after the original harvests due to a high incidence of wildfires, which ceased in the 1930s. Aspen and paper birch are now the dominant species, although pine, northern hardwoods, and deciduous and coniferous lowland species are scattered through the forest.</p><br>
<p>Popular outdoor recreational activities such as boating, canoeing, kayaking, and swimming are available on the 1,590 acre Washburn Lake, and other smaller lakes accessible from the forest. The main campsite of the forest was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the forest&#39;s establishment in 1933. Trails are designated for hiking, with 14 mi specifically designated for cross-country skiing in the wintertime, and 26.9 mi designated for Class I and II all-terrain vehicle use.</p><br>
<p>The Antelope Valley of southern Eureka County is a small 35 mi  long valley, surrounded by four mountain ranges. Antelope Wash flows north, to endorheic flatlands at the valley&#39;s north end. Eureka, Nevada lies 20 mi east nestled among mountain ranges. From Eureka USA Route 50 travels west through the north end of the valley on a route to Austin.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Antelope Valley is about 35 mi long, north-south trending, and lies at the northeast foothills of the extensive north-south Monitor Range. The southeast portion is within the Toiyabe National Forest.</p><br>
<p>Antelope Valley begins as Antelope Wash in northern Nye County between the Monitor Range and the Antelope Range. The headwaters of the valley begin as a narrow mountain valley on the north side of a water divide about 6.3 mi south of the Nye-Eureka line. Antelope Valley broadens to about 9 mi wide at about 23 mi to the north. Thereafter Antelope Valley merges with the Monitor Valley from the west and the Kobeh Valley from the north to become a broad basin between the Monitor and Simpson Park ranges to the west, Roberts Mountains to the north and the Antelope, Fish Creek and Mountain Boy ranges to the southeast. The combined valleys form a broad basin about 30 km in diameter.</p><br>
<p>The isolated Lone Mountain within the southeastern portion of the valley separates Antelope and Kobeh valleys. Lone Mountain is about 3.5 mi in diameter at its base and reaches an elevation of 7,936 ft at its peak. This is about 1900 feet above the valley floor.</p><br>
<p>Stream drainage from Antelope Wash and from a number of streams from the Roberts Mountains merge to the southwest of Lone Mountain to form Slough Creek which flows to the east to disappear in Hay Meadow just to the southeast of Lone Mountain making the combined valley an endorheic system. Slough Creek re-emerges about 3 mi to the east to continue through the narrow Devils Gate pass alongside highway 50. The pass is a narrow 500 ft wide gap between Whistler Mountain to the north and the north end of the Mountain Boy Range to the south.</p><br>
<p>The Church of St Mary the Virgin in Tarrant Crawford, Dorset, England, was built in the 12th century. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building, and is now a redundant church in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. It was vested in the Trust on 1 July 1988.</p><br>
<p>The church is all that remains of Tarrant Abbey, for which it may have been a lay church. The Abbey was founded in the 13th century by Ralph de Kahaines (of nearby Tarrant Keyneston) as a Cistercian nunnery.</p><br>
<p>The flint chancel, dates from the 12th century, with the nave, tower and porch being built in the 14th century. The 15th-century tower houses three bells, two of them medieval and one 17th century. The nave roof added in the early 16th century. In 1911 a major restoration of the church was undertaken.</p><br>
<p>The interior includes several coffin lids from the 13th century. These have been moved from the Abbey and may relate to two of the famous people associated with it. The first is Queen Joan, the wife of Alexander II of Scotland and daughter of King John of England (Richard I&#39;s brother and successor) who is buried in the grave yard (supposedly in a golden coffin). The second is Bishop Richard Poore, builder of Salisbury Cathedral, who was baptised in the abbey church and later (in 1237) buried in the abbey, which he founded. He was at one time Dean of the old cathedral at Old Sarum, and later became bishop of first Chichester, then Salisbury and finally Durham.</p><br>
<p>There are also 15th century stained glass, a font from the 16th century and an octagonal pulpit pews with moulded panelling from the 17th century. Mediaeval wall paintings cover most of the walls of the nave and chancel, dating from the 13th and 14th centuries. One set of pictures depicts the acts of St Margaret of Antioch. The Annunciation dates from the 14th century and shows the winged figure of Gabriel and the virgin. The south wall has two rows of paintings one above the other. The lower set show three kings or princes, and three skeletons, which are believed to represent "the emptiness of earthly rank and riches".</p><br>
<p>Attendance at the church fell after World War II and it was declared redundant becoming the responsibility of the Churches Conservation Trust in 1988. £100,000 was spent on masonry repairs and make it weather-proof. Another £68,000 was spent between 2003 and 2007 to improve the drainage, eradicate death watch beetle and stabilise and re-roof the tower.</p><br>
<p>Lambertville Historic District, is located around the intersection of Route 29 and Route 179 in Lambertville, Hunterdon County, New Jersey, United States. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 30, 1983.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>A wooden bridge was constructed across the Delaware River in 1812 to connect Lambertville with New Hope, Pennsylvania. Bridge street was laid out to meet with the bridge. Many of Lambertville&#39;s oldest structures are located along Bridge street. A tavern on Bridge street called the Lambertville House was built by Captain John Lambert in 1812. The James W. Marshall House also on Bridge street was built in 1816. The Delaware and Raritan Canal was constructed in 1830. The Belvidere Delaware Railroad was built along the canal in 1851.</p><br>

<p>The El Paso USA Courthouse, also known as El Paso Federal Building or the USA Court House, is a historic building in El Paso, Texas. It is a courthouse of the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas. The building was completed in 1936 and served historically as a courthouse and as a government office building. It is located at 511 East San Antonio Avenue. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>The Courthouse gives the Federal Government a strong, tangible presence in downtown El Paso. Designed and built in the mid-1930s the building is similar in size, style and construction to government buildings of this era across the country. The architects were Percy McGhee, Guy L. Frazer, and Thomas P. Lippincott. The Neo-Classical Revival facades and durable materials of the blocklike exterior communicate the importance of the functions housed therein to the citizens of the community. The government commissioned artist Thomas C. Lea, III to paint a mural (Pass of the North) in the courthouse in 1938.</p><br>
<p>The basic plan layout is also fairly typical for buildings of this size and era, with spaces configured between and around two large interior courtyards. This arrangement provides light and air to interior rooms, in a way appropriate to the hot, dry climate of Southwest Texas. Originally designed to house two Courts along with offices for related branches of government, growth of the Courts has generated most of the plan changes over time. As of 2010, there were seven courtrooms in the USA Courthouse, with an eighth in the planning stage.</p><br>
<h2>Architectural description</h2><br>
<p>The United States Courthouse is a rectilinear Neo-Classical Revival composition with Art Deco influences. The plan is rectangular and biaxially symmetrical with respect to the exterior facades, except for a service door on the west side. Rooms are for the most part arranged on either side of an interior corridor around two Light Courts. The elevations are composed of a flat fossilized limestone base, repetitive limestone pilasters separated by windows and a windowless limestone architrave with terra cotta ornament and coping concealing the fifth floor and a flat roof. The dressed stone base extends from grade to the first floor window sill height, where tall casement windows are spanned with limestone panels. The second, third and fourth floor double hung windows are treated as a continuous vertical element between pilasters separated by cast aluminum spandrels. The windowless fifth floor was designed and built with skylights which have now been abandoned. On the facades outside this level the stone architrave is set off with a repeating stylized eagle terra cotta frieze. The fluted pilasters run between the base and architrave, and have no base or capital of their own. The exterior of the building has been largely unaltered with the exception of a limestone faced ramp added for the handicapped. This ramp is compatible with the original building, if less well detailed.</p><br>
<p>Inside the Courthouse additions and alterations have been generally less sensitive. The East Light Court has been enclosed at the first level to accommodate a new courtroom. A second large courtroom was added on the second floor at the west end, two floors below one of the two original courts. These spaces have no historical significance but are adequate and appropriate for their new use. Three other courts have been added to the building, which are of insufficient size and deficient shape for their purpose. Except for the Clerk&#39;s Office, functions not directly tied to the Courtrooms have been relocated to renovated spaces, lessening the logic and integrity of the building.</p><br>
<p>Much of the usable basement level has been sacrificed to accommodate hvac ductwork, while the remainder is in original condition. The first floor has been altered to an extent but retains much of its original details and finishes. Almost all of the wood and glass partitions that defined interior spaces and determined their character have been replaced by gypsum board walls. The main public spaces have been best preserved on this level, including the south lobby with its large, important mural across the north wall. The second and third floors retain little of their original character, but the fourth floor retains in largely unaltered form its two courtrooms and its public spaces. The fifth floor was originally toplit and used for storage and a laboratory. With the skylights closed off, it is now dark and confining, housing two Immigration Courts and their related functions. Throughout the building most of the terrazzo flooring, Art Deco hardware, paneled doors with transoms and period light fixtures are still in place.</p><br>
<p>The Hamburg Historic District is a residential neighborhood located on a bluff northwest of downtown Davenport, Iowa, United States. It is listed on the Davenport Register of Historic Properties and on the National Register of Historic Places. The historic district is where the city’s middle and upper-income German community lived in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Germans were the largest ethnic group to settle in Davenport.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Hamburg is located to the northwest of Davenports central business district. The neighborhood itself goes as far north as Locust Street and to the west as far as Division Street. The historic districts boundaries were reduced to the section between Fifth and Ninth (south to north) and Ripley and Vine (east to west). It includes the highest concentration of historic buildings and some of the best examples of architectural styles in the neighborhood. The Mississippi River is located five blocks to the south. There is a gradual slope to the land as one travels to the north. After the alley north of Fifth Street, it dramatically rises into a bluff. It peaks at about Seventh Street and descends less dramatically to Ninth Street. The southern part of this area provides a prominent view of the cityscape and the river. For this reason, it became a prime location for the middle and upper-income Germans who immigrated to Davenport to build their homes. The Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad tracks built along Fifth Street are yet another boundary for the area. The north side of Sixth Street (along the bluff line) that extends from Ripley Street to Gaines Street is known as the "Gold Coast."</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>German immigrants started moving into the city in noticeable numbers starting in the late 1840s. In 1848, 250 Germans came to Davenport and by 1850, that number rose to close to 3,000, or 20% of the city’s population. Other German immigrants to Davenport came from Bavaria, Hamburg, Hanover, and Mecklenburg. Davenport’s small Hungarian community, refugees from the revolution against Austria in the 1840s, generally lived in the German neighborhoods, as well.</p><br>
<p>Initially, the native-born citizens of Davenport resented the large numbers of Germans coming to the city and the influence they were asserting. They were also opposed to separate German societies, schools, cultural organizations, and events. Supporting the Temperance movement was one way opponents expressed anti-German sentiments. In 1855, the Know Nothing movement emerged with the goal of keeping local politics to native-born people. By the end of the Civil War, with the sons of both Germans and non-Germans dying for a common cause, there was a sense of acceptance even though the numbers of Germans coming into the city continued to increase.</p><br>
<p>Because of the size of Davenport’s German population, their customs dominated the city’s economic, cultural, and political life. Many of those who were leaders in civic life lived in the Hamburg District. The lower income Germans tended to live below the hill and above the factories along the Mississippi River. Their neighborhoods are collectively known as the West End, although they were not all German, and included the West Third Street Historic District. Harrison Street is generally the dividing line between the Germans on the west and the non-Germans on the east side. German influence in Davenport started to wane in the early decades of the 20th century, especially with the onset of World War I. The war, coupled with the younger generation’s lack of a distinct German identity, led to the decline of German influence.</p><br>
<p>Prominent Davenport citizens who lived in the Hamburg District included Henry Lischer, who published the influential German-language newspaper Der Demokrat; merchants August Steffen and his son August as well as F. Max D. Peterson, who was a partner in the J.H.C. Petersens Sons Store; brewers Henry Frahm and Henry Koehler; the Mueller’s who owned a large lumber mill; H.H. Andressen who founded the German Savings Bank, which was later renamed American Commercial and Savings Bank; politician and German-American leader Hans Reimer Clausen; grocer Charles Beiderbecke; and financier William H. Weise. All of the above-named men had roots in Schleswig-Holstein, they built significant houses in the Hamburg District, and many of their children married a son or daughter from one of the other’s families.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The geographical location of the Hamburg District is a fairly steep bluff north of the downtown area. The sidewalk on Ripley Street is replaced by steps as it climbs the hill. The area has the largest concentration of historically significant houses in Davenport. As with other areas of the city, the simple Greek Revival style was the first to appear in Hamburg. These homes are generally at the base of the hill. The style is realized in cottages and the more popular two-story, 3-bay front gable homes. Other homes in the district include large Victorian homes in the Gothic Revival, Second Empire, Italianate, and the Queen Anne styles built in the 19th century. Many of these homes crown the bluff and offer vistas overlooking the river valley below. There are also examples of early 20th century Georgian Revival and American Craftsman homes. The historic district is rounded out by smaller and more simple late 19th and early 20th century homes and a few modern dwellings.</p><br>
<p>The Hamburg Historic District is largely a residential area today. Institutional architecture that existed has largely been torn down or converted to residential use. One such building on West Seventh Street was built for Iowa College, which moved from the area in the 1850s to the present College Square Historic District. The former German Methodist Episcopal Church also remains on West Sixth Street, while Zion and Trinity Lutheran Churches built new buildings outside of the district in the 20th century. Many civic, cultural, religious, and commercial buildings that served the German citizens of the city were not built in the Hamburg District.</p><br>

<p>The Antelope Valley adjacent to the Nevada/Utah state line, and located in southeast Elko County and northeast White Pine County, Nevada is a 70 mi  long endorheic valley. The valley curves around the Dolly Varden and Kinsley Mountains, and the Antelope Range.</p><br>
<p>The valley is separated into two sections north and south, with an unnamed badlands region, (though labelled as such) between eastern mountain ranges on its central-east perimeter. The badlands are on the Nevada/Utah border and southeast of a small mountain area, Ferber Hills in Utah.</p><br>
<p>A large two-lobed playa region makes up most of the south valley region, and can be easily seen from surrounding mountain ridgelines.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Antelope Valley is about 70 mi long, north-south, but arc-shaped pointing due-west around the three mountain ranges. The center of the valley is adjacent the small range, 3 by 8 mi long, the Kinsley Mountains slightly offset by Kinsley Draw, from the Antelope Range southwest; it is also separated from the Dolly Varden Mountains northwest by three small watershed areas of the north Antelope Range&#39;s foothills.</p><br>
<p>Two sections of the valley are created, a northwest-trending section, and the other, southwest-trending. The north section borders the southwest of Goshute Valley. The south merges into the extensive north-south Spring Valley (Nevada), the north end of which extends into a bifurcation at the southwest end of the Antelope Range, where the Schell Creek Range is bordered to the west.</p><br>
<h2>Access</h2><br>
<p>USA Route 93 (Alternate) crosses the southern section of the north valley toward the Goshute Mountains.</p><br>
<p>The Henry Kahl House is a historic building located on a bluff overlooking the West End of Davenport, Iowa, United States. What was a private residence was converted into a nursing home in 1955, and a senior apartment facility in 2016. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Henry Kahl</h2><br>
<p>Henry Kahl was born in a small cottage on the northwest side of Davenport. By the age of 12 or 13 he was driving a mule team between Davenport and nearby Coal Valley, Illinois. At 16 he started working for Davenport contractor P.T. Walsh and rose up through the ranks of the company that built railroads across the United States. Eventually he became vice president of the company and oversaw the work on the New York Central Railroad. The company was also known for the tunnel system it built for the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, which moved water from the Colorado River to Southern California. Other projects included train stations in Buffalo, New York, Erie, Pennsylvania, South Bend, Indiana, a sewage disposal plant in Dayton, Ohio, and the Memorial Bridge in Wilmington, Delaware. By the age of 45 he was a partner in the construction firm and a self-made millionaire,</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Henry Kahl had the house built for his family home in 1920. It was designed in the Spanish Colonial Revival style by Davenport architect Arthur Ebeling. In 1954 Bishop Ralph Hayes invited the Carmelite Sisters for the Aged and Infirm to the diocese and in 1955 they turned the house into a 25-bed, dormitory-style retirement home called the Kahl Home for the Aged and Infirm. Originally, the home housed only women. In 1963 they added a modern building and a chapel onto the main house. This made it possible to care for men as well. A 1987 addition brought the total number of beds to 135.</p><br>
<p>In October 2013 plans were announced to turn the facility into a 68 unit senior apartment building. The facility was bought by Gold Coast Housing LLC from the Carmelite System Inc. in February 2015. The renovation project began in March of the same year. The rooms on the main floor of the mansion will be renovated and used as public space. The study was converted into the manager&#39;s office. The lower level houses one large apartment, while the second and third floors were converted into two apartments each. The third floor was originally a ballroom that had been converted into 20 bedrooms. The main staircase has also been restored. The 1963 addition has been renovated into 36 apartments, and the 1987 addition into five apartments. The renovation was completed in late 2016.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The 3½-story house is composed of cream-colored brick in a combination of the Spanish revival and Mission revival styles. It sits high on the bluff on spacious, terraced grounds. The house remains largely intact even though the east side has been modified somewhat to connect to the main nursing home building. There is a Porte-cochère on the north side of the house, and tall end chimneys with decorative concrete caps at several different locations. Other decorative elements on the houses exterior include Baroque ornamentation surrounding oval windows; a balustraded piazza; and superimposed loggia with columns Distyle-in-antis. The entire structure is capped with multiple hipped roofs covered in red ceramic tiles.</p><br>
<p>Holy Trinity Old Church in Bothenhampton, Dorset, England was built in the 14th century. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building, and is now a redundant church in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. It was declared redundant on 1 April 1971, and was vested in the Trust on 23 October 1972.</p><br>
<p>The chancel and the 15th century tower are the only parts of this mediaeval parish church to survive, after the nave was demolished and a new Holy Trinity Church built in 1889. Subsequently, the chancel was used as a mortuary chapel. In 1971, the dilapidated state of the church lead to it being formally declared redundant and in 1972 it became the responsibility of the Redundant Churches Fund, which became the Churches Conservation Trust.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the church includes an early Georgian reredos.</p><br>
<p>Buffalo High School is an historic building located in Buffalo, Iowa, United States. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Buffalo was the first settlement in Scott County to incorporate (1836). The first school building in the town was constructed three years later. The first school located at Fourth and Washington Streets was built in 1850. Ten years later Buffalo voted to become an independent school district. Buffalo Township was divided into seven independent school districts. The district that served the town of Buffalo was Independent School District #1. In 1865 they built a two-story frame school building on Fourth Street. By 1894 the town had grown to 500 people and the school building had become overcrowded.</p><br>
<p>The school district hired Davenport architect Gustav Hanssen to design a new building. Plumbeck and Frandzen received the brick contract and likely used brick from the Davenport Paving Brick and Tile Company in Buffalo. Frank and Wrage did the carpentry work. The Knights of Pythias bought the old building and moved it to Third and Jefferson Streets. It remained standing into the 21st century. Opened in 1900 the new school building was a single-story, three-section, structure. It was capped with a hipped roof and had dormers for ventilation. The T-shaped building had a prominent gable-front entry vestibule and a belfry at the center. The building featured three classrooms, which was an increase from two in the previous building, and housed grades 1-8. Restrooms flanked the main entrance and a small office for the superintendent was located where the staircase is now situated. The school building was built for $5,000.</p><br>
<p>The school educated students in eight grades until 1927 when ninth grade was added in preparation for the addition of high school classes That same year Davenport architect Arthur Ebeling presented plans for the addition of a second story to the school building. A bond issue of $20,000 was passed in January of the following year, and J.H. Hunzinger was hired as the general contractor. The rooms on the new second floor aligned with those on the first floor. An office was located over the main entrance. The lower grades were housed on the first floor. Grades 1 and 2 were located in the west classroom, grades 3 and 4 in the north classroom, and grades 5 and 6 in the east classroom. The second floor housed the upper grades. Grades 7 and 8 were located in the west classroom and grades 9 to 12 were all taught in the east classroom. A science lab and other</p><br>
<p>specialized classes were housed in the north classroom. The basement was also used for classroom space. Home economics was taught in the east room, and mechanical training in the west room. The boiler room was under the north classrooms as it was previously.</p><br>
<p>The first class to graduate from Buffalo High School was in 1931 with 12 students. The smallest graduating classes were in 1932 and 1935 with five students and the largest class was 15 in 1943. There was no graduating class in 1948 as the three students attended Davenport High School. The school colors were red and white until 1942 when they were changed to blue and gold.</p><br>
<p>By 1952 overcrowding was an issue again and a new school building was built on Dodge Street. It was dedicated on February 15, 1953, and the upper</p><br>
<p>grades were moved into the new building. A law was passed in Iowa in 1958 that required minimum high school standards. Buffalo decided to discontinue their high school program. Because the Davenport Community School District refused to take the Buffalo students, they were bused to</p><br>
<p>Bettendorf High School. Another state law was passed in 1966 requiring contingent districts to accept students, so Buffalo became part of the Davenport school district and their students attended Central High School. The 1953 Buffalo school was used as an elementary and intermediate school. Some classes were still held in the old Buffalo High School building through the mid-1970s.</p><br>
<p>In 1976 the city of Buffalo bought the old high school building from the Davenport school district. They used it as a community center to house various offices and organizations, including the town&#39;s library. Davenport schools built a new school on the north edge of town in 2002. Many of the community offices moved from the old high school building to the 1953 building, which left the old building vacant. In 2004 it was sold to Thomas and Maria Caudle for $49,500. They converted it into a home. Developers Jesse Hammes and Tom Swanwick bought the building in 2010 with plans to convert the structure into a four condo complex.</p><br>
<p>The former Church of the Holy Innocents, later known as Church of the Nativity of our Virgin Lady, was originally an Episcopal church located on North Pearl Street  in Albany, New York, United States. It and an adjacent chapel were built in the mid-19th century in an early Gothic Revival style designed by Frank Wills. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>A small garden surrounding the church and chapel gives it the feel of an English country parish church despite its urban surroundings. Its interior has several stained glass windows designed by John Bolton, brother of William Jay Bolton. A century after its construction the Episcopal congregation moved to a newer church and sold it to a Russian Orthodox church, which renamed it and added an onion dome. They have subsequently moved out and the building remains vacant.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The church and chapel complex is located at the southeast corner of the intersection of North Pearl and Colonie Street, roughly one half-mile (1 km) north of downtown Albany and a few blocks east of the Arbor Hill neighborhood. It is located at the point where the terrain, flat all the way to the Hudson River one-quarter mile (500 m) away, starts rising to the west, creating a dropoff at the east end of the property. The surrounding neighborhood is mostly residential, showing the varied effects of past urban renewal programs.</p><br>
<p>Across Colonie, to the north, is a large vacant lot and some unused railroad tracks. To the south are some other older commercial and residential buildings. A pair of modern high-rise apartment buildings, with a complex of small, newer ones to their north, are across North Pearl to the west.</p><br>
<p>Some other properties listed on the Register are nearby. The small Broadway–Livingston Avenue Historic District, is to the east and southeast, with the Broadway Row a block to the south of it. A block to the southwest is the northern end of the Arbor Hill Historic District–Ten Broeck Triangle and one of its contributing properties, Ten Broeck Mansion.</p><br>
<p>The church and chapel are connected by a small hyphen. Both buildings are "T"-shaped two-and-a-half-story structures built of coursed rubble masonry. They are trimmed in Portland stone and topped by steeply pitched slate covered gable roofs. The main church building is currently covered with ivy, obscuring the view of most of its decorative features. At the top of the front is a green onion dome topped with an Orthodox cross.</p><br>
<p>Underneath that vegetation on the west (front) facade are heavy corner buttresses, an arched central entrance, four lancet windows on the second story and a single triangular window in the gable. The nave is five bays long, with an additional entrance at the northeast. A smaller projecting gable on the east with two small shed-roofed wings is the chancel.</p><br>
<p>Inside the church&#39;s decor is restrained. Wooden wainscoting runs along the lower portion of the walls. Above there is a small wooden gallery and a beamed ceiling. The original pews have been removed and chairs line the sides. Screens and icons block the view of the altar. A modern counter is next to the entrance. The stained glass and grisaille windows remain.</p><br>
<p>The chapel is a similar, smaller building. The dropoff in the terrain exposes its brick basement in the rear. The wall above it is also brick. Inside, it too has partitions, screens and icons, but it has been extensively renovated. The floor is linoleum and the ceiling has had skylights added.</p><br>
<p>On May 4, 2015, a section of the church collapsed.</p><br>
<p>The Old St Cuthbert&#39;s Church in Oborne, Dorset, England was built in 1533.

<p>Only the chancel remains of St Cuthberts Church, which would have been one of the last to be built before the Reformation, following the demolition of the nave in the 1860s. The neglected chancel was restored in the 1930s, when a new incumbent began to restore it, taking advice from A. R. Powys (secretary of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings) who was also responsible for the restoration of St Andrews Church at Winterborne Tomson.</p><br>
<p>The parish of Oborne had been given to Sherborne Abbey by the Saxon King Edgar in the 10th century and it remained a chapel of ease to the abbey until the Dissolution in 1539.</p><br>
<p>The interior includes mediaeval slip tiles and communion rails, pulpit and monuments from the 17th century. The pillar piscina and font were brought to St Cuthbert&#39;s from North Wootton. Above the lintels of windows on the east and north sides are inscriptions entreating prayers for the good standing of Abbot John Myer (1533) and Sacristan John Dunster of Sherborne.</p><br>

<p>The Chester Town Hall is a historic governmental building and community meeting place in the village of Chesterville, Ohio, United States. Built in the 1860s by the village and a fraternal society, it has served as home for both entities throughout its history, as well as providing space for Chester Township officials and community gatherings. Along with numerous other buildings in the village, it has been named a historic site.</p><br>
<h2>Community history</h2><br>
<p>The vicinity of Chesterville was one of the first-settled parts of Knox County, as pioneers began arriving soon after 1803, and Chester Township was created in 1812, but the advance of civilization was slow; only after the conclusion of the War of 1812 did the area begin to prosper. Merchant Enos Miles, who moved to the township in 1815, platted the village of Chester in 1830. During its first decades, the village prospered; multiple schools were established, and numerous grand Greek Revival buildings lined the streets, but Chesterville lost to Mount Gilead in its attempt to be named the county seat when Morrow County was established in the 1850s, and Chesterville withered as the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and Indianapolis Railway built through Mount Gilead. The village was incorporated in 1860.</p><br>
<h2>Building history</h2><br>
<p>Among the community organizations active in Chesterville was Lodge 204 of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, organized in 1852. Prosperous within a few years of its establishment, the lodge soon owned its own hall, and in 1867 the members joined with the village and helped to construct the town hall, the upper story of which the lodge constructed at a cost of $1,200. Besides serving as a place for village officials to meet, the hall served as a community center; in 1880, the residents debated adding a stage and scenery, using money obtained from railroad taxes, and it ended up serving as a music performance venue for part of its history. In later years, the building also became home to Chester Township officials.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Built on a foundation of sandstone, the Town Hall is a weatherboarded structure with a metal roof pierced by a single chimney. Two and a half stories tall, the narrow facade and rear rise to gables, while the sides are substantially longer than the ends. Fourteen side windows are present in seven bays, while the facade features six sash windows in three bays: a small window in the gable, one in each second-story bay, and one in each end bay on the first story, while the double doors of the main entrance occupy the middle of the first story. Shutters are provided for the windows in the first story of the facade.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>During the 1970s, a community group known as Chester Community Concerns was formed to encourage preservation of the villages historic architecture. In 1978, the group sponsored a project to record the villages historic buildings with the Ohio Historic Inventory, a historic preservation survey, with the goal of nominating the most important historic properties for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places. Using the multiple property submission process, nine Chesterville buildings were added to the Register in August 1979: the town hall, the Methodist Church, the Jarvis and Enos Miles Houses on Portland Street, the Old Union School, the post office and the A.B. Sears House on Sandusky Street, and the Old Bartlett and Goble Store and an unnamed commercial building at the village&#39;s main intersection. The town hall qualified both because of its well-preserved historic architecture and because of its place in local history.</p><br>
