<p>The North Fork Sol Duc Shelter is located in Olympic National Park in Washington. The rustic log building provides shelter to hikers on the park&#39;s Sol Duc River trail. It was built about 1932 by the USA Forest Service as part of a network of about ninety trail shelters for hikers in what was then Olympic National Forest. The majority of these shelters were removed by the National Park Service in the 1970s. Measuring about 14 ft by 10 ft, the rectangular shelter is open on the front side. It is constructed with a peeled log frame covered with vertical split-fir board siding. The gabled roofline is broken with a separate shed roof extending to the front. The interior is furnished with bunks. There is no floor.</p><br>
<p>The North Fork Sol Duc Shelter was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 13, 2007.</p><br>
<p>Beidha , also sometimes Bayda, is a major Neolithic archaeological site a few kilometres north of Petra near Siq al-Barid in Jordan. It is included in Petra&#39;s inscription as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.</p><br>
<p>It was first excavated by Diana Kirkbride in 1957 and later by Brian Byrd. Three periods of occupation were detected: the Natufian period in the 11th millennium BC, a Pre-Pottery Neolithic B (PPNB) village with masonry construction in the 7th millennium BC and a Nabatean period dating to the 1st or 2nd century BC.</p><br>
<p>Natufian Beidha is characterized as a seasonal encampment, repeatedly occupied over a long period of time. Evidence from lithics recovered along with the layout and position of hearths and roasting areas suggested the occupants were primarily engaged in hunting related activities. This was supported by the absence of permanent buildings, storage, burials and large stone implements.</p><br>
<p>The Neolithic stage at Beidha has been suggested to be one of the earliest villages with habitation dated between 7200 and 6500 BC. In the earliest PPNB phases, the population has been estimated at between 50 and 115 people. These villagers used stone masonry and built a wall around the settlement of round houses with subterranean floors. Its occupants cultivated barley and emmer wheat in an early state of domestication, herded goats, and hunted a variety of wild animals such as ibex and gathered wild plants, fruits and nuts. There is also a structure dating from this period some yards east of the main site which has been interpreted as possibly being a temple for the practice of what may have been a pre-Abrahamic religion. (The layout of the structure is that of a temple, but there are no signs of any graven images ever having been present.)</p><br>
<p>There is also plentiful evidence of a renowned Nabataean settlement in the area including construction of a series of walls around agricultural terraces.</p><br>
<p>The Jordanian Department of Antiquities, Petra Development and Tourism Region Authority, USAID/Jordan Tourism Development Project and the Council for British Research in the Levant recently announced a project to protect and promote Beidha. This was suggested to take up to 18 months and planned to include an interpretative presentation and new visitor facilities.</p><br>
<p>Captina Creek is a semi-large creek, which feeds directly into the Ohio River, located in southeastern Ohio. Captina Creek is an important creek to the region and home to about 56 species of fish. Captina Creek is dotted with many small attractions such as the Horseshoe Bend Golf Course, Brubaker&#39;s Groccery Store, Clair Mar Golf Course, Pebble Beach, and many others.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In April, 1774, the frontiersman Michael Cresap was accused of killing two Indians at the mouth of Captina Creek in revenge for the murder of a white trader earlier that month. He was later exonerated. This, and the subsequent Yellow Creek Massacre (April 30, 1774), were the sole causes of Lord Dunmore&#39;s War (1774). There is a plaque, which is located inside a gazebo on the Powhatan Point village fair grounds, dedicated to George Washington at the mouth of the creek. The plaque states that Washington had set camp for a night at the mouth of Captina creek while exploring the Ohio Valley.</p><br>
<h2>Ecology</h2><br>
<p>Captina Creek is home to some 56 known species of fish. The surrounding area is also home to many diverse plant life and rare and endangered species such as the bobcat and the Eastern Hellbender.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Captina Creek is located in the southeastern part of Ohio. The creek is parallel by State Route 148, which runs from the mouth at the Ohio river, past the source near Barnesville. Chestnut Creek and Barnesville Reservoir Number Two, along with other small streams and rainwater, are the main sources for the creek which flows southeast towards the Ohio River. For more information on townships located along State Route 148, see article State Route 148 (SR 148).</p><br>
<p>The Robinson River is a river in the West Coast Region of the South Island of New Zealand. It is a tributary of the Upper Grey River and much of the river lies within the Lake Sumner Conservation Park. Rising on the slopes of Mount Boscawen  on the main divide about 12 km south of the Lewis Pass, the river runs west-southwest along a straight, narrow valley before turning northwest to reach the Upper Grey.</p><br>
<p>Some older maps show the river as the Marchant River or the Marchant Robinson River.</p><br>
<p>A two-day tramping track known as the Robinson River track runs up the Robinson River before crossing a saddle via a poled route to join with the Lake Christabel track. There are two tramping huts maintained by the Department of Conservation beside the river.</p><br>
<p>The river is named for a superintendent of Nelson Province, John Perry Robinson (1809–1865).</p><br>
<p>The Peacock Mausoleum is a Victorian Gothic memorial to Richard Peacock , engineer and Liberal MP for Manchester, and to his son, Joseph Peacock. It is situated in the cemetery of Brookfield Unitarian Church, Gorton, Manchester. The mausoleum was designed by the prolific Manchester architect Thomas Worthington. It was made a Grade II* listed structure on 3 October 1974.</p><br>
<p>Pevsner&#39;s The Buildings of England describes the memorial as "a large three-bay shrine of white stone. Steep roof and statues at the corners – an engineer, blacksmith, draughtsman and architect, supposedly a portrayal of Worthington himself." Peacock, a partner in the locomotive engineering firm of Beyer, Peacock and Company also paid for the construction of the Brookfield Unitarian Church.</p><br>
<p>The Elmendorf Reformed Church, formerly known as the Elmendorf Chapel, is a historic Reformed Church in America  church located at 171 East 121st Street between Sylvan Court and Third Avenue in the Harlem neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. It was founded as a parish house and Sunday school for the First Collegiate Church of Harlem, which had its beginnings in 1660 as the Low Dutch Reformed Church of Harlem or Harlem Reformed Dutch Church, the first house of worship in Harlem. The Church&#39;s original burying ground for its African American congregants was discovered in 2008 at the 126th Street Depot of the MTA Regional Bus Operations when body parts were found upon digging at the location. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority agreed to move the Depot by 2015.</p><br>
<p>Sanctuaries were built in 1665-67, 1686–87, 1825 and 1897, at various locations in the area. In 1893-94 a Neoclassical parish house was built on this site under the auspices of Rev. Joachim Elmendorf, designed by Joseph Ireland. Around 1910, the church at the time was torn down, and the parish house was rebuilt as the Elmendorf Chapel, which then became the Elmendorf Reformed Church. It is the oldest congregation in Harlem.</p><br>
<p>The church is a two story plus basement building which is "L" shaped in plan and fills much of its 53 feet wide by 120 feet deep lot.</p><br>
<p>The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<p>The Boyd–Wilson Farm is a 157 acre historic district in Franklin, Tennessee, United States. The circa 1840 farm includes an I-house.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. When listed, it included six contributing buildings, two contributing structures, one contributing site and two non-contributing buildings.</p><br>
<p>The farm&#39;s west edge is the West Harpeth River. The property includes the historic Boyd Mill Ruins (separately listed on the National Register).</p><br>
<p>The farmhouse&#39;s north, two-story facade was built c.1884 and is of heavy braced frame construction. It has a central hallway and chimneys at its gable ends in what is called an I-house. The chimneys, originally limestone, were modified c.1920 to include brick. It has a two-story portico with four square columns built in 1976 which replaced a one-story portico from c.1884.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed notable as "one of the few historic farms in Williamson County to retain its agricultural integrity from a period in the county&#39;s history when agriculture was the basis of prosperity."</p><br>
<p>It is a designated Century Farm. Historic notability of properties of this type was covered in a 1994 study of historic family farms in Middle Tennessee.</p><br>
<p>Tulymsky Kamen  is a mountain range in North Ural. Located in northeastern portion of Krasnovishersky District, Perm Krai, Russia, the range stretches about 24 km north-south. At 1,496 m elevation, it is also the highest point of Perm Krai.</p><br>
<p>Several small tributaries of the Vishera River, located in the area of the Vishera Nature Reserve, originate from the generally steeper western slopes of the range.</p><br>
<h2>Etymology</h2><br>
<p>The word "Tulym", in some Tatar dialects, means "rocks sticking out of the river", and in the Komi-Yodzyak language it means "rapids", likely referring to the rapids on the Vishera River. In the Mansi language, the range has two names: ‘Yaktyl-ya-Nyor’ (range of rapids river) and ‘Luv-Nyor’ (horse-stone).</p><br>
<p>Ferger Place Historic District in Chattanooga, Tennessee was founded in 1910 as the first gated community south of the Mason–Dixon line. Founded by two wealthy investors, the Ferger Brothers, Ferger Place attracted higher class families including wealthy businessmen and Government officials. Off of main street in east downtown Chattanooga, this 240 acre neighborhood includes a wide spectrum of architectural styles of homes and welcomes newcomers to its safety oriented community. Making up both Morningside and Eveningside Drives, the homes reflect an array of styles ranging from 1910 through the 1930s. The Historic Neighborhood is also known for its distinct U shape of 69 beautiful homes. This neighborhood was especially attractive because of the industrial revolution that spread throughout the nation at the beginning of the 20th century.</p><br>
<p>As many new styles of homes evolved, Ferger Place remained a getaway from the changing society and stayed true to its classic, post-Victorian style. Houses included porches, open rooms, high ceilings, and multiple windows.</p><br>
<p>These Post-Victorian Architectural Styles specifically included:</p><br>
<p>Craftsman Bungalow</p><br>
<p>Contemporary Prairie</p><br>
<p>Four Square</p><br>
<p>Dutch Colonial</p><br>
<p>Cottage Tutor Revival</p><br>
<p>Italian Renaissance</p><br>
<p>The Neighborhood represents the National Register of Historic Places in its rare architectural styles and community oriented appearance. The Neighborhood also includes a private park for residents of Ferger Place. As one enters through the original pillars on both Morningside and Eveningside Drives, they quickly arrive at great understanding of the distinct style and historic vibe that the neighborhood puts off. The Neighborhood recently celebrated its 100th Anniversary in 2010 and continues to represent the history of the City of Chattanooga.</p><br>
<p>The Mount Morris Bank Building, also referred to as the Corn Exchange Bank  and Corn Exchange Building, is an historic building in the East Harlem neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City, located at 81-85 East 125th Street on the northwest corner of Park Avenue. Although an architectural standout when new in 1883, by the late 1970s it was vacant, and remained so for three decades, vandalized and deteriorating. In 2009 the city demolished, for safety, most of what remained after a 1997 fire, but in 2012 a developer undertook to rebuild it for commercial occupancy, and the building reöpened in May 2015.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989, and was designated a New York City Landmark in 1993.</p><br>
<h2>The banking years</h2><br>
<p>The Mount Morris Bank was organized in December 1880 when Harlem was being transformed from a suburb into an urban residential neighborhood, connected to downtown commercial and residential districts by the new Manhattan Railway Company lines. The bank initially rented space at 133 East 125th Street, just west of Lexington Avenue.</p><br>
<p>Construction began on its new building &ndash; which was selected by competition and located at 81, 83, and 85 East 125th Street &ndash; on April 3, 1883 and was completed on February 1, 1884, although the bank, occupying the main floor, moved in by late 1883. Like its plainer neighbors, the building was designed for a mix of commercial and residential use. The basement, partially above ground, was initially occupied by the Mount Morris Safe Deposit Company at #83, which built and owned the building. There were six apartments on four floors above the commercial space, plus an attic. The apartments &ndash; called "The Morris" &ndash; were completely separated from the banking portion of the building. They had their own entrance at #81 and were served by an elevator, but they barely lasted two decades: by the early twentieth century the apartments were converted into offices.</p><br>
<p>Architects Lamb & Rich utilized rock-faced sandstone in the Romanesque Revival style for the bank portions of the structure and red Philadelphia brick cladding for the residential portion in the Queen Anne style.</p><br>
<p>At the time, the New York Central Railroad ran in an open cut along Park Avenue, with a (below-grade) station at 125th Street. The building&#39;s location was thus convenient for commuters as well as for commerce.</p><br>
<p>In 1889-90 the building was doubled in size using the adjacent lot on its north (Park Avenue) side, in an expansion designed by the original architects, which included a basement entrance at 1820 Park Avenue. In 1912, architect Frank A. Rooke removed the front stoops and stairs, which projected onto the public sidewalk, and rebuilt the entranceways.</p><br>
<p>In 1913 the Mount Morris Bank became a branch of the Corn Exchange Bank, the first New York City bank to establish local branches. The Corn Exchange Bank merged with Chemical Bank in 1954 and became the Chemical Corn Exchange Bank. Chemical closed the branch in the mid 1960s and moved its operations to a new location nearby, following which various commercial tenants and a church occupied the building. New York City took title in 1972 for back taxes.</p><br>
<h2>Destruction and rebuilding</h2><br>
<p>By the late 1970s, when properties were being abandoned all over the city, the Corn Exchange structure was vacant, and remained mostly empty for three decades, vandalized and deteriorating. It was sealed up in 1987 at the request of the local Community Board. In 1989 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The citys Landmarks Preservation Commission considered the structure for designation as an official landmark in 1984, but didnt act at that time; in 1993, however, they did designate it, asserting that it retained its architectural integrity to a surprisingly high degree. (By law, the commission&#39;s powers over a city-owned property are merely advisory.)</p><br>
<p>A fire destroyed the mansard roof and the two floors enclosed by it in 1997. In 2003 a community activist paid $10,000 for the building, planning a culinary school, but she was unable to finance her project, and the idea was never executed.</p><br>
<p>The city repossessed the building in 2000 and in 2009 demolished all but the basement and main floor, for safety&#39;s sake. Developer Artimus Construction purchased the structure in 2012 and undertook to rebuild it for commercial and retail occupancy. The design, by Danois Architects, is not intended to be an exact copy of the original, but rather strongly suggestive of it, and was approved by the Landmarks Preservation Commission in 2013.</p><br>
<p>The Corn Exchange Building reöpened with an art fair in May 2015.</p><br>
<p>Christian Science Society, also known as Christian Science Society Building, is an historic Christian Science church building located at 641 Oak Street corner of 7th Street in Steamboat Springs, Routt County, Colorado; Built in 1934 of logs on a rubble rock foundation with a shingle roof, it was designed and constructed by local builder Ernest Campbell in the style of architecture that has come to be known as National Park Service Rustic. The society was organized on July 22, 1908, by local Christian Scientists, notable among whom was Margaret Crawford, who with her husband, James Crawford, had founded and named Steamboat Springs in 1875. It met at various local sites until November 4, 1934 when the first service was held in its new building. The building site purchased in 1920 had formerly been occupied by the Onyx Hotel. Christian Science churches and societies are no dedicated until they are free of debt and the Steamboat Springs society was dedicated on December 15, 1935. Regular services have been held ever since. The only significant changes in the building since 1934 have been replacing the roof with a metal one to allow snow to slide off and dropping the interior ceiling for better insulation. The side walls have also been stabilized by running several metal rods between them. On August 22, 2007, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Humpy Peak is a peak located in the Uinta Mountain Range in northern Utah. It is approximately 27.56 mi south of Evanston, Wyoming and 21.29 mi east of Coalville, Utah. The summit has an elevation of 10,875 ft.</p><br>
<h2>Telecommunications tower</h2><br>
<p>Telecommunications and radio broadcasting occupy the mountains summit. It has a single tower near the summit that broadcasts a variety of signals to the surrounding area. The Utah Communications Agency Network (UCANN) operates a transmitter at the location. The United States Forest Service also operates a transmitter on the mountain.</p><br>
<h2>Radio stations</h2><br>
<p>The following FM radio stations broadcast their main signals from the tower located on Humpy Peak. Three new stations have construction permits to move to the mountain. Several other FM stations may also be pending moves to the peak.</p><br>
<p>FM stations use Humpy Peak as a transmitter location primarily because of a terrain shadow of nearby Salt Lake City. This allows the stations to drop onto 2nd adjacent frequencies in Salt Lake City, without interfering with other stations in the main market area. All of the stations listed above use booster signals that are synchronized with the main station. These fill in the gaps that the main signal otherwise wouldn&#39;t cover well. For example, KSQN has 6 boosters to cover the Salt Lake metro area, which is behind the Wasatch Mountain Range from the main transmitter. Stations like this are generally known as "rimshots."</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>Humpy Peak is located on the northwestern flank of the Uinta Mountain range in central Summit County. Geology of the peak is common with Uinta Mountain range as well. The peak is accessible via a road on private property, that begins at Utah State Route 150. The peak is 12.74 mi from the Mirror Lake recreation site. Because of its height, and the terrain shadow the Wasatch Range provides, Humpy was likely chosen because signals from the peak cover a significant distance, well into Wyoming. This provides Evanston and surrounding communities in southwestern Wyoming with more radio stations. Stations on the peak often can be received as far northeast as Green River, Wyoming.</p><br>
<p>Broadview Mansion is a twenty-two room Edwardian style mansion located in Normal, Illinois, near Illinois Wesleyan University. The three-story estate, originally situated on five acres of land, was built in 1906 for Bird Calladay and Margaret VanLeer. The mansion is currently owned and operated by the Immanuel Bible Foundation.</p><br>
<h2>VanLeer Family</h2><br>
<p>Bird Calladay VanLeer, born in 1867 in Downingtown, Pennsylvania, was the son of William Archer and Josephine Calladay VanLeer. While Bird was young, his family moved to Maroa, Illinois, as pioneer farmers. Bird graduated from Maroa High School and attended Illinois Wesleyan University. He left Illinois Wesleyan University prior to graduation to help support his family. Margaret Diadem Langstaff VanLeer was born in 1870 in Lexington, Illinois, to John and Isabelle Powell Langstaff. Upon graduation from Lexington High School, she enrolled in Northwestern University’s School of Oration. She later taught at Illinois Wesleyan University, where she met Bird through a mutual friend. Bird and Margaret were married in July 1894. Bird died in 1933 and Margaret followed in 1949.</p><br>
<h2>Mansion and Carillon</h2><br>
<p>Construction on the VanLeer mansion began in 1904 and was completed in 1906. The mansion was dubbed “Broadview” because its situation at the top of a hill afforded a “broad view” of the surrounding country side.</p><br>
<p>The most striking feature of the mansion is the 110 ft-tall carillon, located in the gardens. Built in 1940 under the direction of Margaret Van Leer in the North Italian Romanesque style, the bell tower slopes gently from 23 ft&sup2; at its base to 21 ft&sup2; at the top of the masonry. A spiral staircase winds its way to the copper cupola, which originally housed ten bells, made and installed by the Meenly Bell Company of Troy, New York. The largest of the bells weighed over 2000 pounds and bore the following inscription, “Dedicated to the Glory of God and in loving memory of Bird Colladay VanLeer by his wife Margaret Langstaff VanLeer." The bells were suspended from a steel frame, and the bell clappers were attached to a hand-ringing console. Players would operate the bells by pushing on wooden rods. A book of bell music was available, arranged specifically for the narrow range of ten tones. The bells were played twice daily from 1941 until 1983. Over time, the bells have been sold or traded.</p><br>
<h2>Immanuel Bible Foundation</h2><br>
<p>The VanLeers first conceived of the Immanuel Bible Foundation in 1921. Devout Christians, the childless</p><br>
<p>VanLeers bequeathed their entire estate to the Foundation. Established in 1944 by Margaret</p><br>
<p>VanLeer, the Immanuel Bible Foundation is a non-profit, non-denominational Christian resource center that assists local churches and organizations by providing Bible classes, fostering cooperation among Christians, and encouraging the performance of sacred music. The Foundation houses a music lending library for small churches, containing over 100,000 copies of music. The Immanuel Bible Foundation continues to serve the Bloomington-Normal community by providing space for retreats, meetings, and music lessons. The Foundation also rents out the mansion and its grounds for weddings.</p><br>
<p>The Rauhhügel is an 812.9 m high  mountain located in the Thuringian Highland, Thuringia .</p><br>
<p>It is located close to the municipalities of Schmiedefeld and Lichte and the Leibis-Lichte Dam in the Saalfeld-Rudolstadt district in the Thuringian Forest Nature Park within walking distance of the Rennsteig.</p><br>
<p>The Leipzig tower on top of the Rauhhügel is 17.5 m high. It has viewing platforms on two levels, the upper at 14 m, from which in good weather one can see far into the surrounding mountains of the Thuringian Highland, the Thuringian Forest and to mountains of the Fichtelgebirge and the Erzgebirge, including:</p><br>
<p>Neuhaus am Rennweg (830 m)</p><br>
<p>Ochsenkopf, (1.024 m) Fichtelgebirge</p><br>
<p>Schneekopf, (1.051 m) Fichtelgebirge</p><br>
<p>Fichtelberg, (1.214 m) Erzgebirge</p><br>
<p>There is a guesthouse at the base of the tower.</p><br>
<p>The Jumel Terrace Historic District is a small New York City and national historic district located in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. It consists of 50 residential rowhouses built between 1890 and 1902, and one apartment building constructed in 1909, as the heirs of Eliza Jumel sold off the land of the former Roger Morris estate.</p><br>
<p>The district was designated a New York City Landmark in 1970, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<p>Among its notable residents was Paul Robeson.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The buildings included in the district are:</p><br>
<p>425-451 West 162nd Street, on the north side of the street</p><br>
<p>430-444 West 162nd Street, on the south side of the street; #430-438 were built in 1896 and were designed by Henri Fouchaux in a style transitional between Romanesque Revival and neo-Classical</p><br>
<p>10-18 Jumel Terrace, on the west side of the street; built in 1896 and designed by Henri Fouchaux</p><br>
<p>1-19 Sylvan Terrace, on the north side of the street (see below)</p><br>
<p>2-20 Sylvan Terrace, on the south side of the street (see below)</p><br>
<p>425 West 160th Street, also known as 2 Jumel Terrace, an apartment building built in 1909</p><br>

<p>Sylvan Terrace, located where West 161st Street would normally be, was originally the carriage drive of the Morris estate. In 1882-83 twenty wooden houses, designed by Gilbert R. Robinson Jr., were constructed on the drive. Initially rented out to laborers and working class civil servants, the houses were restored in 1979-81. They are now some of the few remaining framed houses in Manhattan.</p><br>
<p>The St. Nicholas Historic District, known colloquially as "Striver&#39;s Row", and "an outstanding example of late 19th-century urban design":</p><br>
<p>There are three sets of buildings:</p><br>
<p>the red brick and brownstone buildings on the south (even-numbered) side of West 138th Street and at 2350-2354 Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard were designed by James Brown Lord in the Georgian Revival style</p><br>
<p>the yellow brick and white limestone with terra cotta trim buildings on the north (odd-numbered) side of 138th and on the south (even-numbered) side of 139th Street and at 2360-2378 Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard were designed in the Colonial Revival style by Bruce Price and Clarence S.

<p>The district was designated by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1967, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>David H. King, Jr., the developer of what came to be called "Strivers Row", had previously been responsible for building the 1870 Equitable Building, the 1889 New York Times Building, the version of Madison Square Garden designed by Stanford White, and the Statue of Libertys base. The townhouses in his new project, which were originally called the "King Model Houses", were intended for upper-middle-class whites, and featured modern amenities, dark woodwork, and views of City College. Kings idea was that the project would be "on such a large scale and with such ample resources as to Create a Neighborhood&#39; independent of surrounding influences."</p><br>
<p>The houses sit back-to-back, which allowed King to specify that they would share rear courtyards. The alleyways between them &ndash; a rarity in Manhattan &ndash; are gated off; some entrance gates still have signs that read "Walk Your Horses". At one time, these alleys allowed discreet stabling of horses and delivery of supplies without disrupting activities in the main houses. Today, the back areas are used almost exclusively for parking.</p><br>
<p>King sold very few houses and the development failed, with Equitable Life Assurance Society, which had financed the project, foreclosing on almost all the units in 1895, during an economic depression. By this time, Harlem was being abandoned by white New Yorkers, yet the company would not sell the King houses to blacks, and so they sat empty until 1919-20, when they were finally made available to African Americans for $8,000 each. Some of the units were turned into rooming houses, but generally they attracted both leaders of the black community and upwardly-mobile professionals, or "strivers", who gave the district its colloquial name.</p><br>
<p>Between Seventh and Eighth Avenues, is 139th Street, known among Harlemites as strivers row. It is the most aristocratic street in Harlem. Stanford White designed the houses for a wealthy white clientele. Moneyed African-Americans now own and inhabit them. When one lives on strivers row one has supposedly arrived. Harry Rills resides there, as do a number of the leading Babbitts and professional folk of Harlem.</p><br>
<p>By the 1940s, many of the houses had decayed and were converted to single room occupancies (SROs). Much of the original decorative detail inside the houses was lost at this time, though the exteriors generally remained unaltered. With the post-1995 real estate boom in Harlem, many of these buildings are being restored to something resembling their original condition.</p><br>
<h2>Notable residents</h2><br>
<p>Among those who lived in Striver&#39;s Row were:</p><br>

<h2>In popular culture</h2><br>
<p>Jazz saxophonist Sonny Rollins, a Harlem native, named a contrafact of Charlie Parkers "Confirmation" after Strivers Row. The piece appears on the 1958 album "A Night At The Village Vanguard".</p><br>

<p>The Northwood Bridge, also known as Goose River Bridge, is a historic bridge across the Goose River about 1.5 miles from Northwood, North Dakota. Dating from 1906, it is significant as a relatively rare example of a "half-hip" type of Pratt pony truss bridge. It is also significant as the oldest surviving documented bridge in Grand Forks County, North Dakota. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. and</p><br>
<p>Another bridge on the same river, the Goose River Bridge, built in 1893, is described in a 1996 statewide study of historic bridges as one of the "best examples" of iron and steel truss bridges constructed by the out-of-state bridge contractors, and is also NRHP-listed in North Dakota. The Northwood Bridge was listed a few months later.</p><br>
<p>The Northwood Bridge is one of ten bridges of the Fargo Bridge & Iron Co. in North Dakota that are listed on the National Register.</p><br>
<p>The Iowa Masonic Library and Museum, located at 813 First Ave. SE, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, United States, is one of the largest Masonic libraries in the world, and incorporates at least three museum collections. The library was the first, world-wide, to have its own building . Its current building  also houses the administrative offices for the Grand Lodge of Iowa, one of the governing bodies for Freemasonry in Iowa.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Library had its genesis in the 1840s, with a resolution by the Grand Lodge allocating funds to the Grand Secretary to purchase books on the topic of Freemasonry. In its earliest years the Library was located at the residence of Theodore S. Parvin, the first Grand Librarian, who started it with 5 books purchased for $5. It moved with him from Muscatine to Iowa City, to Davenport, then back to Iowa City where it was maintained until its final transfer to a more permanent home in Cedar Rapids in 1884. It has remained in Cedar Rapids ever since. The Masonic Library is now "reputed to be the largest in the world, and is at least one of the top five, with over 100,000 volumes. Both Masonic and general books are included in the collections and the library is open to anyone, whether Masons or not."</p><br>
<p>The extensiveness and public access of the Masonic library is valuable. For example, Professor David Hackett of the University of Florida notes that "a fairly large...public collection of Prince Hall materials can be found at the Iowa Masonic Library in Cedar Rapids, Iowa." Likewise, Stephen Kantrowitz of the University of Wisconsin-Madison historian notes "Substantial collections of published black Masonic proceedings (which appear in significant numbers only from the 1870s on), pamphlets, and other publications are available at Masonic libraries, including the National Heritage Museum (Lexington, Mass.), the Livingston Library (New York, N.Y.), and the Iowa Masonic Library (Cedar Falls)."</p><br>
<p>The library was the location in 2008 of the Masonic Library and Museum Association (MLMA) annual meeting, 80 years after a similar meeting in Cedar Rapids at the original Masonic Library.</p><br>
<h2>Museum</h2><br>
<p>The Library includes three museum collections and is open to the public. The museum collections are extensive and include a Masonic collection on the first floor and a Non-Masonic collection on the 2nd floor, consisting of thousands of items. Also there is the Charles H. Swab Memorial collection, donated by deed in 1958.</p><br>
<p>One of the more interesting artifacts is a Civil War flag, which served as standard for the Iowa regiment in the Battle of Champion Hill, where 97 Iowans were casualties.</p><br>
<p>In 2008, the Masonic Library became the temporary location of the African American Museum of Iowa, whose building at 55 12th Ave., SE, was flooded in the Iowa flood of 2008.</p><br>
<h2>Buildings</h2><br>
<p>In 1884 the Library became the first Masonic library in the world to have its own building.</p><br>
<p>The current building was built in 1955. It cost over a million dollars:</p><br>
<p>"The new building cost a little over $1,000,000. it is constructed of Vermont Marble, with grey marble from Carthage, Missouri, lining the interior halls. Metal work in the windows, doors and stair rails is of bronze. The main portion of the building is over 245 feet long and 50 feet wide, while the library wing at the west end is 113 feet deep."</p><br>
<p>The front facade includes an inscription from the Bible (Amos 7:7): "Behold the Lord upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand."</p><br>
<p>The history of the fundraising and planning for the building is extensive.</p><br>
<p>It is a contributing building in the Grant Wood Cultural District, certified in 2010 by the Iowa State Historical Society.</p><br>
<p>The Westerberg, also called the Westerather Berg, is, at, the highest elevation in the Baumberge hills and the German region of Münsterland. It is located in this small range of hills between the three villages of Billerbeck, Havixbeck, and Nottuln.</p><br>
<h2>Longinus Tower</h2><br>
<p>On the summit of the Westerberg, which is in places only sparsely wooded, stands the Longinus Tower (Longinusturm), an observation tower about 30 m high that was built by the Baumberge Society between 1897 and 1901. It is made of Baumberge Lime Sandstone.</p><br>
<h2>Views</h2><br>
<p>The Longinus Tower, which can usually be climbed all year round, dominates the Baumberge and is its chief attraction. From its observation deck, which requires a head for heights, there is often a good, panoramic view over the Baumberge and the countryside surrounding this hill country in western Münsterland. From here visitors can see the Teutoburg Forest (to the northeast), the aforementioned villages, the Emsland (to the north), the Westphalian Basin (to the east), the Sauerland (to the southeast), the Ruhrgebiet (to the south), the Bergen hills and even the Netherlands (to the west).</p><br>
<p>The tower, which can be accessed by road from the surrounding villages, is a good start and end point for walks, short or long, for example into the valley of the Stever. On clear days, hundreds of walkers, cyclists, motorcyclists and car drivers gather, not only to stop at the cafe, but also to enjoy the views.</p><br>
<h2>Baumbergschnecke</h2><br>
<p>The Café Longinus by the tower describes itself as "the highest cafe in the Münsterland". From here there are tours on an observation bus, the Baumbergschnecke ("Baumberge Snail") that crawls through the wooded countryside at 6 km/h. It is a veteran bus that has been converted and extended into a sightseeing bus.</p><br>

<p>High Crag is a minor fell on the Helvellyn Range in the eastern region of the English Lake District. It sits on the ridge to the south of Helvellyn and Nethermost Pike. It rises sharply above the head of Ruthwaite Cove, and has attracted the attention of rock climbers. Its rock type is a lapilli-tuff of the Helvellyn Tuff Formation.</p><br>
<h2>Topography</h2><br>
<p>High Crag is a rocky crag, over 100 m high, which rises abruptly above the head of Ruthwaite Cove and which forms a minor fell on the south ridge of Nethermost Pike, at a point some 350 m north of the col between that mountain and Dollywaggon Pike.</p><br>
<p>A cairn marks the summit, which is 884 m high and has a prominence of 13 m from the ridge. To the west the ground slopes gradually away from the summit, merging with the western slope of Nethermost Pike.</p><br>
<h2>Routes</h2><br>
<p>Walkers may reach the summit of High Crag with its spectacular view by taking a short diversion from the ridge path. Small paths lead to and from the summit cairn, but are much less worn than the path that bypasses it, only 60 m from the cairn.</p><br>
<p>For climbers, two gullies and a buttress lead up the steep eastern face of High Crag.</p><br>
<h2>Summit</h2><br>
<p>The flat summit of High Crag is marked by a cairn which is visible from the neighbouring tops.</p><br>
<p>The summit is a high perch from which there is a bird&#39;s-eye view down into Ruthwaite Cove, flanked by the two eastern ridges of Nethermost Pike and Dollywaggon Pike, and with its tiny tarn, Hard Tarn. Then the view goes on down Grisedale to Ullswater and Place Fell, with the Pennine Hills in the distance.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>High Crag is composed entirely of lapilli-tuff of the Helvellyn Tuff Formation. This formation is part of the Borrowdale Volcanic Group, formed during a period of intense volcanic activity on the edge of an ancient continent during the Ordovician Period, about 450 million years ago. The Helvellyn Tuff Formation was formed by an explosive volcanic eruption which produced a large-volume pyroclastic flow of very hot gas and rock. Individual lapilli or pieces of semi-molten lava within the flow were flattened by the weight of deposits above them.</p><br>

<p>The Haltern Hills  comprise the three ridges of Hohe Mark , Borkenberge  and Haard  located respectively northwest, east and south of the German town of Haltern am See in Westphalia. They are the only submontane subunit in the major natural region of Westmünsterland, and are found in the southeast of the region. Immediately to the east is the southwestern part of the Kernmünsterland, also part of the Westphalian Lowland.</p><br>
<p>They are separated by the valleys of the rivers Lippe (northern boundary of the Haard with the other two ridges) and a line from the Halterner Mühlenbach via the Halterner Stausee and Stever river to its confluence (eastern boundary of the Hoher Mark with the Borkenbergen).</p><br>
<p>The Haltern Hills, including the valleys that separate them, have an area of 283 km² in the southeast of the Hohe Mark Nature Park.</p><br>
<p>Llanwenarth House is a small country house, formerly a hotel, located off the B4246 road, west of Govilon and Llanfoist, just south of Abergavenny in the Usk valley of Monmouthshire, Wales. It was built in the late 16th century, although the drawing room and some of the furnishings are from the Georgian period.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The exact date of the building of the house is unknown, although there are title deeds dated to 1602 for the house. In the 17th and 18th century the house was known to be administered by the Morgan family. It was known for many years as Ty-mawr, simply meaning "the great house". In the late 18th century, Joshua Morgan occupied the house, a man who held a prominent authoritative role as the high sheriff of Monmouthshire.</p><br>
<p>James Humfrey, a graduate of Trinity College, Oxford came into possession of the house in 1862 on the death of his mother Lucy Morgan who was the last descendent of the Llanwenarth Morgans. and the house remained in the Humfrey family for the next two generations.</p><br>
<p>In the 19th century, Cecil Frances Alexander was a visitor to the house and its grounds have been suggested as the inspiration for her hymn, "All Things Bright and Beautiful".</p><br>
<p>The house became an hotel in the 20th century and was a recipient of The Good Hotel Guide César Award for the Best Welsh Country House of the Year of 2002, given to the best hotels in the United Kingdom. The Good Hotel Guide described the decor of the house as being "delightfully eccentric".</p><br>
<p>In 2015, it was reported that a property developer had illegally modified the house.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The house is a Grade II* listed building, listed on 1 September 1956. It is three storeys high and consists of three bays each with a bay window on each floor. There is an extension on the left side of the house as you approach it through the private driveway from the main road,</p><br>

<p>Cathedral Rock is a famous landmark on the Sedona, Arizona skyline, and is one of the most-photographed sights in Arizona, USA. Cathedral Rock is located in the Coconino National Forest in Yavapai County, about a mile  west of Arizona Route 179, and about 2.5 mi south of the "Y" intersection of Routes 179 and 89A in uptown Sedona. The summit elevation of Cathedral Rock is 4,967 ft.</p><br>
<p>The Cathedral Rock trail (USFS Trail #170) is a popular short, steep ascent from the Back O&#39; Beyond trailhead to the saddle points or "gaps" in Cathedral Rock.</p><br>
<p>Geologically, Cathedral Rock is carved from the Permian Schnebly Hill formation, a redbed sandstone formed from coastal sand dunes near the shoreline of the ancient Pedregosa Sea. Ripple marks are prominent along the lower Cathedral Rock trail, and a black basalt dike may be seen in the first saddle.</p><br>
<p>Cathedral Rock was called "Court House Rock" on some early maps, and Courthouse Butte was called "Church House Rock", which has caused endless confusion ever since.</p><br>
<p>Watson School is a Sonoma County Regional Parks Department historic park, covering approximately 0.75 acre, located about 2 mi east of Bodega, California, on the south side of the road, at 15000 Bodega Highway in Sonoma County, California, United States.</p><br>

<p>The Enchanted Valley Chalet is a backcountry lodge in Olympic National Park. The chalet was built in 1931 by Tom E. Criswell, his son Glen and the Olson family of Quinault whose Olympic Recreation Company operated it as a destination lodge deep up the Quinault River Valley, about 13 mi from the nearest road access. Under the Olson’s ownership through the 1930s, and for decades under the National Park Service, the chalet has endured as a destination in its own right. It was a popular destination for hikers and horse tours through the 1940s. In 1943, the chalet was closed as an accommodation. It was used for a short period as an Aircraft Warning Service station during World War II, watching for Japanese airplanes. It did not reopen until 1953, after the National Park Service had purchased the Olympic Recreation Company&#39;s holdings in 1951, having purchased the Chalet itself in 1939. After a period of neglect, the chalet was restored in 1983-84. It was one of four such accommodations built by the Olympic Recreation Company and the Olympic Chalet Company; Low Divide Chalet, Nine Mile Shelter, Graves Creek Inn and the Enchanted Valley Chalet. Of the four, only the Enchanted Valley Chalet and the bathhouse at Low Divide remain.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Enchanted Valley Chalet is a 2-1/2 story hewn-log structure with a gabled roof covered in cedar shakes. The exterior walls are entirely constructed of silver fir logs hewn on three sides and notched at the corners with dovetail diagonal-cut joints. The first story logs are 10” in diameter, and the upper story logs are 8” in diameter. Originally, the smaller logs were cut from the tops of larger logs to conserve materials. Several logs on the northeast and northwest walls were replaced in 1980 and 2010. The southwest façade has a front porch and overhang roof supported by log poles. It has been replaced several times and was reconstructed to its original configuration in 2010. The chalet has roof has a 12/12 pitch covered with 36” cedar shakes with a 24” exposure to the weather. The roof is framed with round log rafters, collar ties, and split cedar purlins. The original shakes were split from trees on site, but these were replaced in 1981 and 2010.The roof features a gable dormer on the northwest side. Windows on all exterior walls are of four different types including: 3-over-1 and 6-over-1, double-hung sash windows; wood sash sliders, and four light fixed wood sashes. All windows are wood sash with multi-pane glazing over a single pane. All have plain board trim and a narrow projecting sill.</p><br>
<p>The original plan of the Enchanted Valley Chalet was a rectangle approximately 28’ x 42’. On the ground floor there were two rooms: a kitchen and a combined lobby/dining room. The second story originally had seven sleeping rooms, one of which became a plumbed bathroom in 1934. The attic was one large room.</p><br>
<p>Today the ground floor consists of a kitchen, dining room, open living space with partitioned sleeping room, and an emergency shelter. There is one staircase on the east side interior of the building. The second story has six sleeping rooms and one storage room. The attic is still one open room.</p><br>
<p>The building was restored in 1980 and 2010 and is generally in good condition. The exterior, second floor interior, and attic are remarkably well preserved. These have been maintained in a series of thoughtful preservation projects. The ground floor interior has been altered and worn over time; although many elements are not original to the fabric of the building, the historic configuration is still visible.</p><br>
<h2>Landscape</h2><br>
<p>The Enchanted Valley Chalet stands in a grassy open meadow with nearby surrounding forests consisting of silver fir, cedar, alder, ferns and other Pacific Northwest vegetation. There are a few small alder trees growing approximately 30 feet to the west of the building. Roughly a dozen campsites are scattered along the riverbank, at the forest edge, and in the meadow. There is a water spigot southwest of the building. A cedar hitching post has been rebuilt several times, on the south side of the Chalet. The last one was a casualty of the river channel’s movement in 2014.</p><br>
<h2>Architectural Character and Significance</h2><br>
<p>The Enchanted Valley Chalet is historically significant as an example of rustic architecture and recreational development in the western United States. Today it is the largest log structure in the Olympic Mountains and the best surviving example of early recreational development within the national park. It is significant to the local communities in Quinault and Grays Harbor because of its historical association with longtime residents such as the Olson family, and members of the Olympians Hiking Club. Architecturally, the building retains a high degree of integrity in its remote location, setting, vernacular design, materials, craftsmanship, and feeling.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Enchanted Valley Chalet itself was purchased from the Olsons Olympic Recreation Company in 1939, along with the companys Graves Creek Inn. In 1951 the remaining assets of the company were bought by the Park Service. During the early 1980s the chalet was not used for accommodation, with only the first floor used during summers as a seasonal ranger station. It was extensively renovated in 1983-84 with the assistance of the Olympians Hiking Club of Hoquiam. Mules and horses will be used to drag the chalet 50 to 100 feet to prevent it from falling into the east fork of the Quinault River during September 2014.</p><br>
<p>The chalet was used as an emergency trail shelter in the late 1990s. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 13, 2007.</p><br>
<p>Denkmann-Hauberg House is a historic building located in Rock Island, Illinois, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. Today it is known as the Hauberg Civic Center.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The home was the home of Susanne Christine Denkmann and John Henry Hauberg, who were married in 1911 at her family home, on the corner of 2nd Street and 4th Avenue in Rock Island. After their honeymoon "out east" the couple returned and began their life in this new house. Susanne was an heiress and youngest daughter of Frederick Denkmann who was a founding partner in the Weyerhaeuser-Denkmann Lumber Company. Her philanthropic activities included the establishment of the West End Settlement, which provided housing and aid for those in need, the Rock Island YWCA, and the Denkmann Memorial Library at Augustana College. John Henry Hauberg was a historian who helped to establish Black Hawk’s Watch Tower as a state park in 1927. Much of his personal collection helped create the John Hauberg Museum of Native American Life at the park. Another one of his legacies was recording the oral histories of the area’s pioneers. Their children donated the home in 1956 to the city of Rock Island to be used as the Hauberg Civic Center.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Prairie style home was designed by Robert C. Spencer, a contemporary of Frank Lloyd Wright. He was known for blending the more modern Prairie style with historical elements, such as the half-timbering that is found on this house. The tulip, which was Mrs. Hauberg’s favorite flower, is featured stylistically throughout the exterior and interior of the structure. Spencer adapted the tulip to decorative elements such as stone insets, plaster molding, wood organ screens, fixtures and decorative tiles. Chicago landscape architect Jens Jensen laid out the 10 acre property to appear as a Wisconsin woodland. A winding path and stone bridge from Jensen’s design remain on the west side of the house.</p><br>
<p>Bow Hill is located in Hamilton Township, Mercer County, New Jersey, United States. The building was built in 1790 and added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 25, 1973.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Bow Hill mansion was built by Barnt De Klyn, (often written DKlyn), a Boston-born descendant of French Huguenot nobility and his wife Mary van Zant, a Knickerbocker from Pearl Street, Manhattan. De Klyn became wealthy selling textiles to the Continental Army during the American Revolution, and in the 1780s, acquired a large tract of land along the Delaware River outside of Trenton, New Jersey at a time where speculation was that Trenton, being midway between Philadelphia and New York City would be the nations capital. De Klyn and other speculators were crushed financially when the capital was decided to be built in what became Washington, DC, but by the time he had heard the news, he had finished constructing this mansion.</p><br>
<p>Among De Klyns circle of friends was King Joseph Bonaparte, Napoleons older brother, who rented Bow Hill from De Klyn to house his American mistress Annette Savage, while he was living in exile at Point Breeze in nearby Bordentown, New Jersey. Bonaparte rented Bow Hill for Annette, a Quaker from Philadelphia, until 1822, when they moved to another property in New York.</p><br>
<p>Bow Hill was owned by the DeKlyn family (later the Lalors) through the 20th Century. In 1975, it was purchased by the Ukrainian-American community of Trenton and consecrated as the Ukrainian National Home, later renamed the Ukrainian American Cultural Center which continues to this day. This center has housed numerous Ukrainian organizations, including the scouting organization Plast, the School of Ukrainian Studies, the Self-Reliance Federal Credit Union, the Ukrainian American Veterans, the Ukrainian National Women&#39;s League of America and the Ukrainian-American Soccer Club.</p><br>
<p>The Henry Clay and Bock & Company Ltd. Cigar Factory is a historic industrial building in the Chambersburg neighborhood of Trenton, New Jersey. It was built in 1932 to house the hand production of fine cigars and is considered the most architecturally distinct industrial building in the city, having been designed in the Spanish Revival style to highlight the Cuban origins of the company.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The company moved cigar production from Cuba to Trenton in 1932 after a strike at the Cuban factory, and in order to avoid high tariffs. Brands produced at the plant included Henry Clay, Bock, La Corona, and Village Brands, among others, with Winston Churchill counted a faithful customer. At its peak in the 1930s the company produced a quarter of the fine cigar market in the United States, with 3000 employees at the Trenton plant. The factory was closed in 1967 and production moved to Pennsylvania. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 12, 1979. The building was converted to apartments in the 1980s.</p><br>
<p>The Eagle Ranger Station, also known as the Eagle Guard Station and presently known as the Sol Duc Ranger Station, is a complex of three buildings built in the 1930s in what would become Olympic National Park. The primary structures were built by the USA Forest Service in what was at the time the Olympic National Forest., While the main residence was built by the USFS, the generating plant and landscaping were built by the National Park Service using labor provided by the Civilian Conservation Corps.</p><br>
<p>The ranger station residence was built in 1936, using wood frame construction. The 1-1/2 story house is a simple gabled structure with an asymmetrically-placed porch framed in timbers. The residence is clad in large singles. A large window on the front elevation is divided in the middle by a heavy mullion, with transoms over both units and twelve lights divided by small muntins. Other windows are six-over-six double-hung sashes Rustic shutters with pine-tree cutouts frame the windows, echoing the USFS pine tree symbol. The house is consistent with the Forest Service&#39;s standard construction style, incorporating features of bungalow and rustic construction.</p><br>
<p>The garage was also built in 1936. The one-story structure is of wood frame construction and is clad in shingles The 1940 generator house was built by the CCC. The one-story frame structure is capped with a hipped roof and topped by a cupola. It lies about 50 ft to the east of the residence.</p><br>
<p>The Eagle Ranger Station was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 13, 2007.</p><br>

The house was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988, and it was included as a contributing property in the Broadway Historic District in 1998.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>It is thought that the house was built for industrialist Homer Lowery, and it is an early example of the Queen Anne style in the city. The houses brick construction was also an oddity in the areas other Queen Anne style homes. The home was extensively remodeled for Peter Fries’ daughter&#39;s wedding in 1906. The home was later owned by the Conner family and since 1944 by the Parker family.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Davenport architect E.S. Hammatt designed the house. He was also the architect for Lincoln School in Rock Island, as well as Kemper Hall and several additions made to St. Katherine’s Hall in Davenport. In addition to the Queen Anne style, the house also exhibits elements of the Italianate style as well. It features a three-story conical tower, stylized shingles, symmetrical fenestrations, window bays, four varied porches and stone window sills and lintels. Part of the remodeling project in 1906 was the full façade front porch. It features plain columns built atop brick piers and topped with Ionic capitals. The columns are in pairs and triplets. The large wing on the back of the house and the brick carriage house was also added in 1906. The Seventh Avenue side of the home features one of the best examples of residential stained glass in Rock Island. It contains a semi-circular stained glass panel atop a large square beveled glass sash. The 99 faceted jewels are fashioned in an asymmetrical floral design.</p><br>
<p>Lincoln School was an historic building located in Rock Island, Illinois, United States. It was designated a Rock Island Landmark in 1984, individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985, and became part of the Broadway Historic District when it was listed on the national register in 1998. It was torn down in 2012.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The school building, which originally housed Public School #4, was completed in July 1894. It was designed by Davenport architect E.S. Hammatt, who had designed four other school buildings in Rock Island, although only Lincoln School remains. He also designed school buildings for the Episcopal Diocese of Iowa in Davenport. Kemper Hall, which still stands on the Davenport Central High School campus and multiple additions to St. Katherine’s Hall were also his work. He was also the architect for the Connor House in Rock Island. Lincoln School was constructed by John Volk and Company.</p><br>
<p>Mary Platt, who taught ninth grade, was named the school’s first principal. Shortly after that ninth grade was moved to Rock Island High School. Seventh and eighth grades remained at Lincoln until 1937. The school operated as an elementary school until 1980. It was scheduled for demolition in 1984 when it was given its landmark status. A neighbor who was interested in saving the building bought the old school. It remained vacant and was named on 2005’s Ten most Endangered Historic Places in Illinois by the preservation advocacy group Landmarks Illinois.</p><br>
<p>By order of the City Council, the building was slated to be torn down on July 1, 2012 unless an organization could save it before then. The City voted to place a tarp over the leaking roof to allow for some of the building to be salvaged, but this was never completed. The building was torn down in August 2012.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The building was designed in the Richardsonian Romanesque style. The exterior, which was composed of red brick and Anamosa Limestone and Bedford limestone, featured simple and bold massing. A flared and rusticated limestone base reinforced the visual weightiness of the building. A bell tower was constructed in brick on the front of the building and was removed in the 1940s. It featured stone quoining. A recessed entry was located below an archway that featured wrought-iron scrollwork.</p><br>
<p>The exterior of the school was simple and bold in massing. The hipped roof rose 41 ft at the ridgeline and included cross gables on three sides of the building. A flared and rusticated limestone base reinforces the visual weightiness of the building.</p><br>
<p>The building’s interior was noteworthy for its expansive hallways, which also housed the school’s library. It also featured a grand staircase between floors.</p><br>
<p>Gen. Philemon Dickinson House is located in Trenton, Mercer County, New Jersey, United States.</p><br>
<p>The original frame house was built by the Rutherford family about 1760. General Philemon Dickinson (1739-1809) bought it in July 1776, as a rural retreat along the Delaware River, and named it "The Hermitage." He lived here with his wife Mary Cadwalader and children, Mary and Samuel. The frame house was torn down about 1905, but a much larger stone-and-stucco addition built in 1784 still stands. The addition was extensively remodeled in the Italianate style in the mid-19th century.</p><br>
<p>During his partial term as USA Senator from New Jersey (1790–93), Dickinson hosted First Lady Martha Washington as a houseguest (May 17–19, 1791). President John Adams was frequently entertained during the summer of 1798, when yellow fever in Philadelphia caused the federal government to evacuate to Trenton, although he lodged at a nearby hotel. Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and Alexander Hamilton were reportedly guests, along with Frenchmen General Rochambeau, Joseph Bonaparte, and Louis Philippe (later King of France).</p><br>
<p>In the early-20th century, the street grid was expanded around the house (note that the building sits at an angle to Colonial Avenue). The house has been converted into apartments.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 17, 1974. Trenton Historical Society lists it as one of the top ten endangered buildings in the city.</p><br>
<p>The John Deere House is a historic building located in Moline, Illinois, United States. The house, which is associated with industrialist John Deere, sits on the edge of a high bluff overlooking the Mississippi River Valley and the urban landscape below. It was declared a Moline Historic Landmark in 2002, and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built in the Italianate The property consisted of three lots, and included the house, a barn, outbuildings, a carriageway, fruit trees, grapery and select plants. Dawson, however, defaulted on the property and John Deere purchased the house and the three lots in 1875. For the next five years Deere renovated and expanded the house before occupying it in 1880. The additions more than doubled the size of the house.</p><br>
<p>Deere made two unique innovations to the house in the process. Ceramic tile was buried and then placed from the basement to the lowest part of the property. The tile allowed cool air to pass from the lower hillside, into the basement and then into the lower floors of the house. The process provided an early form of air conditioning. The second innovation was due to the home location on the crest of a bluff. Long iron bars were bolted onto the corners of the house so as to hold the structure on the foundation in strong winds.</p><br>
<p>The home, now in the Second Empire style, featured porches, turrets, iron cresting, window bays, a walnut staircase and an office from which Deere could see his factories in the valley below the house. The family bedrooms were on the second floor, and the ballroom and servant&#39;s quarters were on the third floor. Deere named the 8,000 ft&sup2; home Red Cliff.</p><br>
<p>Deere lived in the house for six years until his death in 1886. His body lay in repose in the front parlor where thousands of mourners paid their respects. His widow, Lucenia, lived in the house two more years before her death in 1888. The house remained in the Deere family until 1933, when it was sold to a banker.</p><br>
<p>In 1936, the house was sold to an interior decorator who divided it into 11 apartments. For the next 50 years the property had several different owners. In 1988, the Resolution Trust Corporation took possession of the house due to a loan default. By now, the home had been divided into 16 efficiency apartments that were in disrepair, and the grounds had become overgrown. Barbara Sandberg, a historic preservationist, convinced the city of Moline to purchase the house from the federal agency in the hope of finding a buyer to restore the home. The city used $40,000 in Community Block Grant money to buy the house in 1993. The property was shown 70 times over three years to prospective buyers and received five serious bids.</p><br>
<p>The city sold the property in 1996 to a private owner for $100. The new owners were to complete the renovations on the house by the year 2000. Plans were to turn the home into a bed and breakfast and public events space. Numerous renovations were completed on the house, but work stopped in 2003 and the project was not completed. The city sued the homeowner for breach of contract in 2005. An agreement was reached, and work resumed on the house in 2008, but it soon came to an end. The Sauk Valley Bank of Sterling, Illinois foreclosed on the property in 2009 and they bought back the mortgage in January 2010. The house was again sold in 2011.</p><br>
<p>Fort Armstrong Hotel is a historic building located in downtown Rock Island, Illinois, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. The hotel was named for Fort Armstrong, a fortification that sat in the middle of the Mississippi River near the present location of the Rock Island Arsenal. The building now serves as an apartment building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Rock Island was in need of a modern hotel downtown. To that end over $450,000 was raised in local stock purchases in a week. The total cost of constructing the hotel in 1925-1926 was $800,000. They had to stay at boarding houses across the Mississippi River in Davenport, Iowa because the area hotels would not serve them. Nat King Cole was refused a room at the Fort Armstrong on one of his visits to the Quad Cities. The public spaces in the hotel were renovated in the 1980s and the hotel was converted into an apartment building for senior citizens. Green space for the residents was created after the adjacent commercial buildings were torn down.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Renaissance Revival building was designed by Chicago hotel designer Charles W. Nicol. It is a nine-story building with deep corner setbacks above the second floor. The setbacks keep the building from dominating the street and allow plenty of light into the rooms. The first two floors of the building are constructed in cast concrete while the upper floors of the building are constructed in brick and trimmed in white terra cotta. The hotel contained 160 guest rooms and ten apartments on the top floor when it opened in 1926. It also featured a banquet room, three dining rooms, a bar, bowling alley, billiard room, barbershop and seven storefronts.</p><br>
<p>Fort Armstrong Theatre is an historic building located in downtown Rock Island, Illinois, United States. It opened in 1920 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It was commonly referred to as the Fort Theater. The theater was named for Fort Armstrong, a fortification that sat in the middle of the Mississippi River near the present location of the Rock Island Arsenal. The building now houses a dinner theater called Circa’ 21.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Fort Armstrong Theatre opened on January 19, 1921. Midsummer Madness, a silent movie by William C. deMille, played opening night. A ten piece orchestra accompanied the film, and there were other musical and comedic presentations. Lila Lee, who starred in the movie made a personal appearance. Congratulatory telegrams were received from Paramount Pictures President Adolf Zukor, Cecil B. DeMille, and comedian Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle. Adult admission on opening night was 36 cents, plus four cents tax, and a Child’s admission was 20 cents. The theater was originally owned by Rosenfield, Hopp and Company. Circa’ 21, a performance and dinner theater, has occupied the theater since 1977.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The theater was designed by the Rock Island architectural firm of Cervin & Horn and the Chicago firm of Brawn & Ermling. It is a three-story Art Deco style building. The exterior of the structure is faced in Indian red brick and polychrome terra cotta. The terra cotta was designed specifically for the theater by Rudolph Sandberg and produced by the Midland Terra Cotta Company of Chicago. The façade features a curved northeast corner, tympanum-like areas above each window, and terra cotta decorations in Illinois and Native American themes. Ivory is the main color for the terra cotta frame and it incorporates details in yellow, bright blue, green and brick red. The marquee is a replica of the original.</p><br>
<p>The original seating capacity of the main auditorium was 1,566. It featured five sections of seats and four aisles. The stage is 22-feet deep. The ornamentation on the proscenium arch features spiral columns and Native American motifs. There are three large Indian heads at the extremities of the arch.</p><br>
<p>The Lake Quinault Lodge was built in 1926 in Olympic National Forest in Washington, USA. The hotel was designed by Robert Reamer, a Seattle architect, in a rustic style reminiscent of Reamer&#39;s work at the Old Faithful Inn in Olympic National Park. It is a notable example of a rustic wilderness lodging, suited to its woodland environment on the southern side of the Olympic Mountains.</p><br>
<h2>Design and construction</h2><br>
<p>The two-story wood frame structure replaced a previous building on the site that was built by Jack Ewell for the Olson family in 1903. The Olsons sold their interest in the first hotel to the Seaman family in 1921. On August 24, 1924, the original hotel burned.</p><br>
<p>Its replacement was funded by lumberman Ralph Emerson of Hoquiam, who bought out the Seamans. The first stage was a plain 1-1/2 story structure which still stands as the annex, restored in 2007. It became so popular that expansion was needed, and a new, more elaborate lodge was planned.</p><br>
<p>Robert Reamer was associated with the contractor, the Metropolitan Building Company, and the company&#39;s construction superintendent was Roy Garrison, who had previously worked with Reamer. Reamer had recently completed work on the Hotel Emerson in Hoquiam, and had extensive experience in the design of hotels in natural settings. Work started on June 9, 1926, and was complete fifty-three days later, on August 18, 1926.</p><br>
<p>Emerson sold the lodge in 1939. It closed during World War II. After the war it was operated by the Walker family. In 1988, the hotel was purchased by the Aramark corporation.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Lake Quinault Lodge is an informal retreat, similar in nature to the Rosemary Inn and Singer&#39;s Tavern (also known as the Lake Crescent Lodge). The roughly V-shaped main lodge is centered on a lobby at the angle of the V, with a masonry fireplace as its focus, overlooking the lake. Dormers and a cupola in the steep roof emphasize the central wing. The hotel is a 2-1/2 story wood-frame structure clad in cedar shingles. The extremities of the wings project over sloping ground, creating a three-story facade at the ends. The walls of the upper floor project slightly outward from the ground floor, and are capped with a steeply-sloping roof housing an attic floor. Large expanses of windows face in either direction from the lobby. Two smaller 1-1/2 story wings extend from the reception side, framing the entrance court, with an entry porch at the end of one wing. The interior features expanses of smooth, finished timbers supporting the upper floor, which is itself finished timber. The chimney is decorated with a totem pole-shaped rain gauge that measures rainfall in feet.</p><br>
<p>The Lake Quinault Lodge was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 9, 1998.</p><br>
<p>LeClaire Hotel is an historic building located in downtown Moline, Illinois, United States. It was named a Moline Historic Landmark in 1993 The building is now an apartment building known as the LeClaire Apartments.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building was built in 1922 on the east side of downtown Moline. At the time it was built it was the tallest building in what today is known as the Quad Cities. It is named after Antoine LeClaire, a US Army interpreter who served at the treaty signing ceremony that ended the Black Hawk War. He and his wife, the daughter of a Sauk chief, were significant landowners in the area. Most of their property was in Iowa, but they also owned land that became the original plat for the city of Moline.</p><br>
<p>The LeClaire Hotel was a luxury hotel that hosted celebrities, including Jack Benny, and US presidents, including John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan. There was a ballroom on the fifteenth floor called the Top Hat that hosted tea dances that were accompanied by a big band orchestra. The hotel closed in the mid-1980s and sat for ten years without an owner. The Alexander Company bought the property and conducted extensive renovations from 1995-1996 to convert the building into an apartment building. Monarch Investment and Management Group bought the property from Kimberly Clarke in 2015 and they plan to make all the units market-rate apartments as the affordable units become available.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The 15-story building is 168 ft tall, and is supported by a reinforced concrete superstructure. The exterior is covered in brick with stone on the ground floor and the mezzanine. It features a symmetrical façade, a rounded arch entry that is flanked by rounded arch windows, belt courses and deep projecting eaves with bracketing. The interior features elements such as the wood paneled pier supports, checkerboard patterned flooring, mezzanine stairway marble treads, newel posts, rails, and balustrade ironwork, paneled wall woodwork, beamed ceiling and pilaster ornamental motifs that were executed by St. Louis artisan Fedrico Aquadro.</p><br>
<p>Otsego Lake is located in northwest Michigan at {{coord|44|57|20|N|84|41|32|W|region:US-MI_type:waterbody_source:GNIS|name=Otsego Lake}}, south of the city of Gaylord in Otsego County. The lake spans the boundary between Otsego Township to the south and Bagley Township to the north. Otsego Lake State Park is located on the southeast shore of the lake and Otsego County Park is on the northwest shore. The lake has many private cottages and homes with direct access to the lake and parks.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Otsego Lake was the long-time summer residence of Arthur Compton. Compton received the Nobel Prize for physics in 1927 for his work with x-Rays and what later became known as "The Compton Effect". During World War II, he was a key figure in the Manhattan Project that developed the first nuclear weapons. In the late 1950&#39;s, noted American architect and Frank Lloyd Wright protege, William Adair Bernoudy, designed Compton&#39;s retirement home on the lake directly across from Otsego Lake State Park.</p><br>

<p>Trenton and Mercer County War Memorial-Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Building, known as the Trenton War Memorial is located in Trenton, Mercer County, New Jersey, United States. The building was built in 1930 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 11, 1986. It was designed by Louis S. Kaplan , who as a young architect won a competition to design Trenton&#39;s memorial to its Dead from World War One. Kaplan then supervised the building of the War Memorial, and after its dedication became the leading architect in Trenton until the early 1960s. Built as a concert hall, it fell into disrepair before being restored by the State of New Jersey in the 1990s. It was rededicated in 1999. The 1,807-seat theater at the War Memorial was renamed the Patriots Theater in 2001.</p><br>
<p>Mercer Street Friends Center is located in Trenton, Mercer County, New Jersey, United States. The building was built in 1858 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 12, 1971. It now houses the main offices of Mercer Street Friends, a Trenton-based Quaker-affiliated social service agency founded in 1958.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>When Mahlon Stacy and other Quakers arrived in the area in 1679, Trenton was known as "The Falls." Stacy was instrumental in establishing the Chesterfield Monthly Meeting in 1684, which included Friends from Crosswicks and Trenton. In 1686, Quakers in what became Trenton organized the first local charity, which assisted Friends who had met with misfortune. Stacy contributed corn from his mill, which gave the Mill Hill area its name. After William Trent purchased land from the Stacy family in 1714, the town was called Trent&#39;s-town, sometimes Trent-town, and finally Trenton.</p><br>
<p>In 1827, the Society of Friends in the United States divided into two major branches, one known as Orthodox or conservative, the other known as liberal or Hicksite, after Elias Hicks. The meeting house at Hanover and Montgomery Streets in Trenton, finished in 1739, was retained by the Hicksites. The Orthodox Friends, who had been meeting in homes, started building the brick meeting house at 151 Mercer Street in 1857 and completed it in 1858.</p><br>
<p>The graveyard was always an attraction for energetic young people, and in 1917, The Sunday Times Advertiser printed the reminiscences of Howell Quigley, who remembered being one of a gang of Third Ward boys, the "turn-cap-follow-me clique," who, "on their run through the neighborhood, across the fences and yards" would disturb the sanctity of the Quaker Church lot...even climbing onto the roof of the building, in and out of the barns, over the sheds, into cellars, anywhere, everywhere, and, oh, the dare of the leaders." Another commentator from 1917 grumbled, "I wouldn’t give a two-year-old bull for the best boy ever raised on Mill Hill," a view disputed by Mr. Quigley who became one of the proprietors of the printing firm of MacCrellish & Quigley and maintained his home on Jackson Street in the Mill Hill area, where he had lived from boyhood.</p><br>
<p>In 1955, the Philadelphia Orthodox and Hicksite Friends reunited and in 1957, the Chesterfield Monthly Meeting authorized the renovation and use of the meeting house on Mercer Street for activities that would express "Friends social concerns.</p><br>
<p>Argos-Mykines  is a municipality in the Argolis regional unit, Peloponnese, Greece. The seat of the municipality is the town Argos. The municipality has an area of 1002.508 km.</p><br>
<h2>Municipality</h2><br>
<p>The municipality Argos-Mykines was formed at the 2011 local government reform (known as Kallikratis) by the merger of the following 8 former municipalities, that became municipal units:</p><br>
<p>Achladokampos</p><br>
<p>Alea</p><br>
<p>Argos</p><br>
<p>Koutsopodi</p><br>
<p>Lerna</p><br>
<p>Lyrkeia</p><br>
<p>Mykines</p><br>
<p>Nea Kios</p><br>
<h2>Province</h2><br>
<p>The province of Argos (Επαρχία Άργους) was one of the provinces of Argolis. It had the same territory as the present municipality Argos-Mykines. It was abolished in 2006.</p><br>
<p>To the west, Argos-Mykines borders on the former municipality of Mantineia, in 2011, integrated with the municipality of Tripoli further west. To the north is the municipality of Corinthia, with Nafplio to the east.</p><br>
<p>Kvarkush  is a mountain range in North Ural, in Perm Krai, Russia. It is located in the basin of the Vishera River, between the Uls River and upstream of the Yayva River. Its highland swamps are the source of many rivers and streams. It stretches north–south for about 60 km and is 12 to 15 km wide.</p><br>
<p>The highest point is Mount Vogulsky Kamen at 1,066 m.</p><br>
<h2>Etymology</h2><br>
<p>The name of the mountain range is derived from the Mansi word kvar-kush that literally means "naked (unforested) Ural". Perhaps, this name was given because there are no forests at elevations of more than 1,000 m and the landscape consists of mountainous tundra and stone deposits. The name of Vogulsky Kamen derives from the name of the Mansi people, formerly called voguly by Russian people.</p><br>
<p>Warwick Furnace Farms is a historic district in northern Chester County, Pennsylvania that includes the ruins of an early iron furnace, the ironmasters house and workers houses, as well as a historic farm house and barns now used in the operation of a working farm. The furnace was a center of colonial iron making and is associated with the introduction of the Franklin Stove, and the retreat of George Washington&#39;s army following its defeat at the Battle of Brandywine. The furnace operated through the 1860s and supplied the iron used in the iron-clad ship the USS Monitor during the Civil War. The 786 acre historic district was listed by the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>A historical marker on the site reads:</p><br>
<p>Several other sites listed by the National Register of Historic Places are within a couple of miles of the site, including Hockley Mill Farm, to the east on Warwick Furnace Road, Warrenpoint to the north, Warwick Mills to the west, and Brower&#39;s Bridge upstream (west) on the South Branch of French Creek.</p><br>
<p>In 2015, the French & Pickering Creeks Conservation Trust permanently protected the 553-acre Warwick Furnace Farm through conservation easements and the acquisition of 108 acres, which will be the future home of a public preserve.</p><br>
<p>Lake Bridgeport, also known as Bridgeport Lake, is a man-made, freshwater reservoir located in Wise and Jack Counties in North Texas.

The lake is owned by the Tarrant Regional Water District and the water impounded is used for flood control, residential and commercial sales, irrigation, and recreation.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Lake Bridgeport has its origins as Bridgeport Reservoir, a component of the Triniy River canalization plan to prevent flooding along the West Fork of the Trinity River. Construction of the lake’s dam began in 1929 and was completed in 1931. The estimated cost to complete the project was $2 million.</p><br>
<h2>Recreation</h2><br>
<p>Lake Bridgeport is a popular freshwater fishing destination for anglers. Largemouth Bass, Crappie, Hybrid Bass, and Sand Bass are some of the noted varieties of gamefish caught there.</p><br>
<p>Lake Bridgeport is also a popular recreational boating destination. Boat ramps and marinas are located at various locations throughout the shore.</p><br>
<p>Wise County Park, (located on the northern end of the lake) provides camping and day use facilities.</p><br>
<p>Rentschler Farm Museum is a historic site located at 1265 East Michigan Avenue near downtown Saline, Michigan. The site consists of an old-fashioned farmhouse and eleven outbuildings, including a hog house, an equipment shed, a hen house, and a windmill, among others. The site is now a museum that serves as a tourist attraction, showing how farming has changed over the years. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<p>The Rentschler farm museum holds special events during certain times of the year. In the fall, the Rentschler farm has an annual harvest celebration that consists of guided tours of the farm and garden, blacksmithing demonstrations, and antique car shows.</p><br>
<p>Near Christmas, the Saline Historical Society holds an event called "Christmas on the Farm", where people are invited to celebrate the season in an environment similar to that of the 1930s.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1825, John Gilbert purchased a 240-acre farmstead encompassing the land where the Rentschler Farm Museum now stands. By 1840, the property had passed into the hands of the Tate family, who farmed the land, and at some point constructed a house, barn, and tool shed on the property.</p><br>
<p>In 1901, the farmstead was put up for auction and purchased by Emanuel Rentschler. A few years later, Emanuel Rentschler moved and expanded the barn. In 1906, he dismantled the original house and, with the help of his brother Matthew Rentschler, coinstructed a new house on the property. More outbuildings were added in subsequent years, including a milkhouse and henhouse.</p><br>
<p>The land continued to be used by four generations of Rentschlers before being abandoned in the late 1990s. In 1998, the city of Saline purchased the land to turn it into a museum. The farmhouse and adjacent buildings, which had been in use since 1900, were restored in 2001 by the Saline Area Historical Society, and the old farm became the Rentschler Farm Museum.</p><br>
<p>Edit 09-20-13: "The farmhouse, adjacent buildings, and land were NOT abandoned. The farm land was sold off in sections in various years. Warren and Marilyn Rentschler sold the last four acres and the buildings to the City of Saline in 1998. Originally, the city intended to develop the property as a visitor center. The Saline Area Historical Society petitioned the city to lease the property to them, a non-profit. This was agreed upon and the historical society developed a farm museum dedicated to all the farmers of the Saline area."</p><br>
<h2>Buildings</h2><br>
<p>There are fourteen historically significant structures on the Rentschler Farm. These include:</p><br>
<p>Main House (2015)</p><br>

<p>Moline Downtown Commercial Historic District is a historic district located in Moline, Illinois, United States. Centered on 5th Avenue, it is roughly bounded by 12th Street to 18th Street, 4th Avenue to 7th Avenue. The distinct covers 33 acres and includes 114 buildings. One hundred of the buildings contribute to the significance of the district because they retain their historic and architectural integrity and reflect the character of the historic downtown.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The city of Moline traces its beginnings to the arrival of David B. Sears from Cairo, Illinois in 1836. He established a brush and stone mill in 1838 in what was an unincorporated area known as Rock Island Mills. Other mills were opened in the area that did everything from grounding corn and wheat to processing logs into lumber. John Deere opened his first factory along the Mississippi River in 1847, as part of a partnership, Deere, Tate and Gould. The partnership would dissolve in 1852 and become Deere & Company. The name of the area was changed to Moline, an adaptation of the French word for “milltown.”</p><br>
<p>Moline’s downtown commercial district initially developed along Third Avenue between Fifteenth and Eighteenth Streets. It was close to the factories and mills that lined the river. Most of the buildings were two and three stories, built of brick in the Italianate style. It was separated from the rest of the city by railroad tracks. The first train passed through Moline’s commercial district in February 1854. By 1895 there were 75 trains a day on the tracks and it made it difficult for residents to reach the main business district.</p><br>
<p>By the turn of the 20th century businesses started to relocate south of the tracks. Initially they chose locations along 15th Street, which had a trolley line that climbed the hill to the city’s newer residential districts. In the 1910s several large commercial buildings were built along Fifth Avenue, which became the main artery in the downtown business district. Sixth Avenue became a secondary artery through the area. A significant loss to the area were several stately homes that lined the avenues.</p><br>
<p>By the 1920s the downtown area featured bank buildings that contained office space on multiple floors above the main banking rooms on the first floor, as well as other office buildings. These buildings provided a variety of professional services. Two of the buildings were eight stories tall, the Fifth Avenue Building and a building that is now Chase Bank. The LeClaire Hotel, which opened in 1922, anchored the east side of the downtown area. On the west side of downtown is the imposing First Lutheran Church, which was built in 1876. Department stores, first floor specialty shops, theaters, hotels, restaurants and bars rounded out the businesses. Institutional structures such as the Carnegie Library (1904), City Hall (1914), Elks Club (1924) and the Unitarian Church (1928) were also built in the downtown business district.</p><br>
<p>The downtown historic district continued to be the main business and cultural area for the city into the mid 20th century. The area was also the location for parades and other civic gatherings. By the 1940s auto dealerships and gas stations started to appear along the edges of downtown. Five large department stores were located downtown: Block & Kuhl Company, New York Store, which was demolished in 1990, J. C. Penny, Sears, Roebuck & Company, and Montgomery Ward & Company. In the 1950s and 1960s storefronts were modified in an attempt to modernize their looks. The department stores closed in the 1970s and 1980s after SouthPark Mall opened in 1974. Since then some of the older buildings in the district have been torn down, but for the most part the buildings that remain have retained their historical integrity. There has also been significant development along the river, just outside the historic district, after the i wireless Center opened in 1993.</p><br>

<p>Old Main, Augustana College is an historic building located in Rock Island, Illinois, United States. It was built between 1884 and 1893 on the campus of Augustana College, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Augustana College was established in Chicago in 1860 to educate Swedish immigrants by the Scandinavian Evangelical Lutheran Augustana Synod, now part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. The school moved to Paxton, Illinois in 1863 and then to Rock Island in 1875.</p><br>
<p>Old Main was constructed from 1884-1893. It was dedicated as Memorial Hall in 1889 although it was still incomplete. The building’s design was based on a similar building at the University of Uppsala in Sweden, which was the alma mater of many of the college’s early faculty. The dome, however, was not part of the building’s original design. The building in Uppsala features a crenellated octagon-shaped tower. A dome was believed to be more American, and so it was chosen to top the building. The original cost to build the building is estimated at $75,000. A third of the money was donated by a local industrialist, Philander Lathrop Cable. Cable Hall, on the second floor of the building, was restored to look like a 19th-century classroom.</p><br>
<p>A $13 million renovation of the building was begun in July 2010. The stone on the building’s exterior was washed and tuck pointed, and the old windows were replaced. The buildings dome, which was painted metal, was covered in a copper that has a pre-treated patina to give a weathered, bluish-green look.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Renaissance Revival style building was designed by L.G. Hallberg of Chicago and E.S. Hammatt of Davenport. A large central pediment with four two-story pilasters dominate in main façade of the building over the main entrance. Smaller pediments flank the ends of the façade, and help to give the structure a balanced appearance. The exterior walls features heavy textured stone on the ground level and smooth masonry walls on the second and third levels of the building. The buff-colored dolomite limestone was quarried near LeClaire, Iowa. It is the same quarry that produced the stone blocks that were used to build the shops on nearby Rock Island Arsenal. The dome on top of the building is based on 16th-century Italian designs.</p><br>
