<p>Mount Zion Baptist Church is a historically significant church in the Greenwood District of Tulsa, Oklahoma. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 5, 2008. The original building was burned during the Tulsa Race Riot on June 1, 1921. According to the Tulsa Preservation Commission, "... Mount Zion Baptist Church remains a testimony to the perseverance and tenacity of its congregants and the black community in Greenwood." The church building was rebuilt in 1952 on its original site.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Genesis</h3><br>
<p>In 1909, a religious study group led by Reverend Sandy Lyons organized the Second Baptist Church in a school in the 300 block of North Hartford in Tulsa. The group soon renamed their church as Mount Zion Baptist Church, bought a lot at 419 North Elgin and began planning to raise money for a permanent church building. Reverend R. A. Whitaker became pastor in 1914. About this time, the landlord of their rented building told the congregation that it was no longer available to them and gave them three days to move. The congregation moved to temporary quarters in a former dance hall on North Greenwood Avenue.</p><br>
<p>Reverend Whitaker led a campaign that raised $42,000 toward a permanent facility, far short of the estimated cost of $92,000. A local Jewish contractor offered an unsecured loan of $50,000. This enabled construction to begin in 1916. Completion took five years, and the first service was held in the new building on April 4, 1921.</p><br>
<h3>Destruction</h3><br>
<p>The Tulsa Race Riot broke out on the night of May 31 - June 1, 1921. The new Mount Zion Baptist Church was deliberately burned by a mob of white men, who had heard a rumor that blacks were using the building to store rifles that had been brought there in caskets. No evidence of such storage ever surfaced. However, it was true that some armed blacks used the structure as a vantage point for firing on rioters that were attacking nearby houses. The whites could not dislodge the blacks until some local guardsmen brought up a truck with a machine gun and opened fire. This more powerful weaponry began knocking bricks out of the building, and it was soon in flames.</p><br>
<p>The building was a total loss. Furthermore, the insurance policy contained an escape clause that eliminated coverage for damages due to riot or rebellion. Additionally, as noted above, the congregation was already in debt for $50,000. The church had no choice but to declare bankruptcy. This action allowed the church to continue as an organization. Reverend Whitaker resigned because of ill health. A series of interim pastors followed before a Reverend Hamilton took over in 1928. The congregation soon split over the issue of whether to repay the $50,000 debt. Hamilton, and those who agreed with him, believed this was not a legal obligation because it was a loan in good faith and unsecured by any physical assets. Opponents contended that the loan should be repaid. Hamilton and his supporters resigned to form a new church, known as New Hope Baptist Church. The opposition remained as members of Mount Zion and began trying to repay the loan.</p><br>
<h3>Recovery and rebuilding</h3><br>
<p>Reverend J. H. Dotson became pastor in 1937. He brought in new members and raised $3,000 toward debt repayment within six months. He continued a viorous fund raising campaign. The result was the full repayment of the old mortgage on November 23, 1942. Dotson then began raising funds to build a new building on the site.</p><br>
<p>Reverend Dotson closely supervised the construction of the new church building, which was designed by W. S. and J. C. Latimer. The Latimers were brothers, trained architects and members of Mount Zion. The new church building was dedicated in November 1952, twenty-five years after Reverend Dotsons arrival. At Dotsons request, the church called Reverend Calvin G. McCutchen as assistant pastor. McCutchen succeeded Dotson as pastor in 1957 and served until his retirement in 2007.</p><br>
<p>Frelinghuysen University, Former Classroom Building, also known as the Edwin P. Goodwin House, is an historic structure located in the Shaw neighborhood in the Northwest Quadrant of Washington, D.C. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Washington branch of the Bible Educational Association was established in 1906 at the home of Jesse and Rosetta C. Lawson. Kelly Miller was chosen to be the president. At the same time they established the Inter-Denominational Bible College and named Jesse Lawson as its president. Frelinghuysen University was founded in 1917 when the two organizations combined. It was named for New Jersey senator Frederick T. Frelinghuysen. He and Senator Charles Sumner of Massachusetts promoted civil rights during Reconstruction and was Secretary of State during the Chester A. Arthur administration. The school&#39;s mission was to provide academic, vocational and religious education for African American working-class adults. Its programs were held in private homes and businesses throughout Washington until 1921. The Goodwin House served as the school’s first permanent building from 1921 to 1927. It was sold so as to move into a larger facility. The school was accredited starting in 1927 and conferred degrees from then until 1937. After that time Frelinghuysen lost its accreditation and started to decline until it was dissolved in the 1950s.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Diller B. Groff built the house in 1879. It was built for Edwin P. Goodwin, an insurance agent, and his family. The structure is a two-story brick Queen Anne style building. It follows a triangular plan with an octagonal corner tower. Other architectural features include corbelling, patterned slate roof and intricate iron finials.</p><br>
<p>The Provo Downtown Historic District is a 25 acre historic area located in Provo, Utah. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The district is composed of four blocks of Center Street (100 East to 300 West) and one and a half blocks of University Avenue. The NRHP listing included 43 contributing buildings. The majority of the buildings in this district were built between 1880 and 1930, however there were buildings constructed all the way through the seventies. Many of the buildings, particularly the older ones, required some fashion of remodeling. Within the district, twenty structures are considered architecturally or historically significant, and twenty one structures are considered contributory.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the year 1849, a group of about 150 people arrived in and settled what is now the city of Provo. This group was sent by the president of the LDS church at the time, Brigham Young, for purposes of colonizing the area. The following year, the city was surveyed as a plot one square mile surrounded by several acres of land designated into eight lots. Brigham Young encouraged the settlers to build their homes and businesses in the proposed town site, and church leader George Albert Smith relocated to Provo to help encourage the city&#39;s development.</p><br>
<p>The first merchant of Provo, Andrew J. Stewart, owned and ran a store out of his home on 5th West. He eventually relocated his business to Center Street. By the end of 1852, two years after the arrival of the settlers, Provo had several operating businesses including a pottery, two grist mills, three cabinet shops, three shoe shops, one meat market, two lime kilns, one sash factory, one wooden bowl factory, two tailor&#39;s shops, two hotels, and two storehouses. The businesses dotted 5th West and Center Street.</p><br>
<p>Profits for merchants in Utah were fairly high during the 1860s. However, the farmers and LDS members who subsisted through agriculture did not receive much of a profit, if any, and began to resent the merchants for their success. Young instructed members to “Cease paying exorbitant prices demanded by disinterested persons...and hundreds of thousands of dollars may be saved annually by the saints". Young encouraged cooperative trading among the members of the church in order to ensure fair trade. The Provo West Co-op was the first cooperative store which was built, and it was built in the same building that Stewart operated and lived out of.</p><br>
<p>There was a large influx of buildings into Provo in the late 1860s. Many businesses came in and located along Center Street. These buildings were built primarily of wood or adobe. Commercial buildings that developed during this time included Provos first kiln, W. Allens brickyard, and the Provo West Co-op. The Liddiard Brothers, the sons of Samuel Giddiard, continued their father&#39;s cement business, contributing to many of the structures on Center Street. E. J. Ward and Sons, established in 1889, became a major competitor with the Beebe and Smooth Lumber Companies. The Provo Foundry and Machine company produced heat and plumbing still apparent in the town. The Taylor family established several successful businesses on the west side of the downtown, including the Taylor Furniture Company.</p><br>
<h2>Tintic Mining industry</h2><br>
<p>The successful commercial mining of precious metals and minerals transformed Utahs economy from basically an agrarian base to a more industrialized state. Within this development, the Tintic Mining District, located approximately thirty miles southwest of Provo, was founded in 1869 and by 1899 became the leading mining center in Utah with a value of output placed at five million dollars. A central figure in Tintics success was Jesse Knight and the Knight family who resided in Provo. Knight attained wealth with his Humbug mine in the mid-1890s. The large silver producer allowed Knight to develop other mines in the East Tintic area. Knightsville grew around the workings and became touted as the only saloon-free, prostitute-free, privately owned mining camp in the USA His strict adherence to doctrines of the LDS church made the town one inhabited primarily by Mormons.</p><br>
<p>The Tintic mining effort had a large effect on Provos commercial district. Jesse Knight, Charles E. Loose, and other entrepreneurs, made wealthy due to the mining industry, made Provo their home and set about to improving it. Loose spent his money buying up a large part of Provos commercial property, such as the Loose Block. Knight established the Knight Block (bordering Center Street and University), in addition to the Knight Mansion.</p><br>
<p>Provo continued to grow. In 1883, construction began on a new LDS Tabernacle. In 1887, a chamber of commerce was organized. In 1889, the Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone Company developed and secured a twenty-year franchise. The Provo Lake Resort was also established on Utah Lake.</p><br>
<h2>Update</h2><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>Lodgepole Community Hall is a site on the National Register of Historic Places located in Lodgepole, Montana on the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation. It was added to the Register on February 24, 2000.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>A historic placard at the site reads:</p><br>
<p>The Lodgepole Community Hall was dedicated in November 1936 in a ceremony the Harlem News called an interesting mix of “Indian tribal tradition and modern governmental activity.” In fact, that mix can be seen in the hall itself. Works Progress Administration (WPA) crews built the hall with timber likely logged in the Little Rockies by members of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). Both the WPA and CCC were New Deal programs aimed at putting people to work in the midst of the Depression. The hall’s log walls — now concealed by exterior siding — reflected the Rustic style often favored by the WPA. Inside the hall evenly spaced vertical logs line the walls to provide structural stability. An eighteen-foot-ceiling shelters the expansive dance floor, which is also marked out for a basketball court. Bleachers overlook the dance floor and a raised stage sits at one end. The hall’s irregular shape echoes the shape of round halls built on Fort Belknap at the turn of the century. These, in turn, mirrored the temporary arenas Assiniboines created for dances by circling their wagons. In the 1930s, the hall was the site of children’s programs, basketball games, "white dances," and such feature films as Call of the Rockies and Last of the Mohicans. Such programs nurtured the community by providing opportunities to gather. So, too, did the frequent traditional feasts and dances — including weeklong dances held at Christmastime — that played an essential role in sustaining Assiniboine cultural traditions.</p><br>
<p>The hall is one big 18 ft tall room.</p><br>
<p>The Anna Scherlie Homestead Shack is a site on the National Register of Historic Places located in Turner, Montana, United States. It was added to the Register on November 5, 1998.</p><br>
<p>A historic placard at the site reads:</p><br>
<p>The Enlarged Homestead Act of 1909 brought settlers to Montana and to this area called the Big Flat. Neil J. Scherlie was among the first to file a homestead claim and over the course of four years, three sisters and two brothers made claims nearby. Thirty-two-year-old Anna Scherlie arrived in 1913, becoming part of a long tradition of women homesteaders in Montana. In fact, in the four surrounding townships, women made up about one-fourth of the total homestead applicants. By 1916, Anna had forty acres planted in wheat, oats, and flax. Isolation on the Big Flat led many settlers to winter elsewhere and Anna followed suit. Legend has it that she went to St. Paul to work for the family of railroad magnate James J. Hill. Over the decades, Anna made few changes to her small wood frame shack, adding only a vestibule for use as a summer kitchen, a storage shed, and laundry. Droughts, depression, and two world wars passed. Anna remained here long after her neighbors had built modern homes, insisting that she was “too old for modern conveniences.” The Spartan lifestyle seems to have been Anna’s preference. When she died in 1973, an estate of more than $100,000 was divided among eighteen nieces and nephews; her ashes were scattered beneath a lilac bush on the property. Leon and Nellie Cederburg purchased the homestead when its seasoned resident moved to Havre in 1968. Rather than return the site to crop land, the Cederbergs maintain the homestead exactly as Anna left it.</p><br>
<p>The homestead building is a 14.5 x woodframe building with a gable roof.</p><br>
<p>The Redden Forest Complex is located in Redden State Forest, Sussex County, Delaware. Now known as the Redden Forest Education Center, the complex includes three Shingle style buildings built in 1900-1902 as a hunting retreat for Pennsylvania Railroad heir Frank Graham Thompson. The complex was served by a specially built railroad siding in Redden Crossroads. The camp fell into disuse during the Great Depression and was acquired by the state of Delaware in the 1930s. It saw use by the Civilian Conservation Corps, then the complex and the surrounding property were designated Redden State Forest in 1937.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The present complex comprises three buildings, all of wood frame construction using cypress timber frames. The stable and forester&#39;s house are at the entrance to the property. The lodge is about 1,400 ft to the east, about 800 ft from the rail line. The lodge is a shallow V-shape in plan, of 1-1/2 stories on a brick foundation with no basement, with cypress shingle siding. The roof, originally covered with wood shingles, is now covered in asphalt shingles, with broad overhanging eaves. The central portion is seven bays wide, flanked by wings of seven bays each. The center portion contains a large lobby with exposed roof structure and two large brick fireplaces. This space is flanked by a dining room and a smaller gun room. The dining room contains wood paneling reputedly taken from an 18th-century Long Island house. The lodge retains its original Mission style furnishings, although the south wings was reconstructed following fire damage from a 1970 lightning strike. Cedar shingles replaced the cypress in the reconstruction.</p><br>
<p>The stable is T-shaped. The front of the stable is a projecting porch under a deeply hooded hipped roof, with a large arched doorway leading into a carriage house. On either side wings extend under the extended roof with additional storage on the north side and a tack room on the south side. Stabling was to the rear, with the original eight stalls now removed. The attic space over the entry is finished. An octagonal cupola tops the center of the roof. A matching kennel formerly stood to the rear of the stable, but was demolished after 1937.</p><br>
<p>The forester&#39;s house differs from the stable and the lodge, with Colonial Revival detailing added to the shingle style. The house has a gambrel roof with three dormers on each side and a full basement. A porch extends across the central portion of the rear of the house, accessed by two French doors The interior comprises a living room, dining room, hallway and kitchen on the first floor, with six bedrooms on the second floor. A nearby garage matches the house.</p><br>
<h2>Present use</h2><br>
<p>The Redden Forest Education Center houses displays and classroom space for school activities and tours. It is managed by the Delaware Department of Agriculture Forestry division.</p><br>
<p>The Redden complex was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 25, 1980.</p><br>
<p>The Custom House was a 19th century neo-classical building located in Liverpool, England that housed a post office, dock office, and offices for Customs and Excise. It was built on the site of the historic Old Dock in 1839 and operated up til World War II when it was partly destroyed during the Liverpool Blitz, the finally demolished in 1948. Today the area which formed the base of the building makes up part of the Liverpool One shopping complex.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Following the closure of the Old Dock on 31 August 1826, plans were made for the construction of what was to be Liverpools fifth Custom house on the site which was filled in with concrete prior to construction. The towns surveyor John Foster who would later go on to design The Oratory and St James Cemetery was charged with designing the H shape building located parallel to the shoreline. On 12 August 1828 the first stone was laid by Liverpool&#39;s mayor Thomas Colley Porter to mark the start of construction which took 11 year with the building opening in 1839.</p><br>
<p>In 1941 during World War II the Custom House was hit with a bomb, partly destroying the building but ultimately leaving its structure intact. After the war had ended, the council refused to repair the building despite protests and it was subsequently demolished in 1948. Notably the building was a subject of a painting by John Atkinson Grimshaw.</p><br>
<p>The Brodhead-Bell-Morton Mansion, also known as the Levi P. Morton House is an historic house, located at 1500 Rhode Island Avenue, Northwest, Washington, D.C., in the Logan Circle neighborhood.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>It was built in 1879, to the designs of architect John Fraser, and comprehensively remodeled in 1912 by architect John Russell Pope.</p><br>
<p>The Beaux-Arts style building originally served as the private residence of John. T. Brodhead, and Jessie Willis Brodhead.</p><br>
<p>Since 1939, the building has served as offices for the National Paint, Varnish, and Lacquer Association (now known as the American Coatings Association).</p><br>
<p>Former occupants include Alexander Graham Bell and his wife Mabel Gardiner Hubbard, USA Vice President Levi P. Morton, the Embassy of Russia, and USA Secretary of State Elihu Root.</p><br>
<p>The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and the District of Columbia Inventory of Historic Sites.</p><br>
<p>In February 2016 the Mansion was purchased from American Coatings Association by Hungary to move the Embassy of Hungary there later in the year.</p><br>
<p>The Jerome Bonaparte Pillow House  is a historic house at 718 Perry Street in Helena, Arkansas. Architect George Barber designed the house, and it was built by Jerome B. Pillow in 1896. The building was donated to the Phillips Community College of the University of Arkansas Foundation and was restored by that body as well as several members of the community who were successful in restoring the property to its original Queen Anne beauty. The Thompson-Pillow House was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973 and was opened after restoration in 1997.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Pillow - Thompson House exhibits many key characteristics of Queen Anne architecture, and is one of the finest examples of the style in Helena. The wraparound porch, overhanging gables, ornamented eaves, spindel work, polygon tower, and terra cotta roof tiles are all common in homes of the period built in the Queen Anne style. The exterior columns and balustrades are also common in similar structures.</p><br>
<p>Làrach Mòr is a garden in Lochaber, in the western Highlands of Scotland. It lies 1 km east of Arisaig, in the crook of a bend in the A830. It was developed during the 20th century as a collection of Rhododendrons, and is included in the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland, the national listing of significant gardens.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Làrach Mòr is on the Arisaig Estate, traditionally the land of the Macdonalds of Clanranald. In the 19th century the site was an orchard and kitchen garden, part of the grounds of Glen House, located around 1.2 km to the south. Glen House was designed by James Gillespie Graham for the Chief of Clanranald in 1819, but was demolished in 1864, leaving only an earlier laird&#39;s house.</p><br>
<p>In 1927 a wealthy Glasgow businessman, John Augustus Holms (1866–1938), took a lease on 28 acre of land on the estate. His purpose was to develop his collection of Rhododendrons, which he had built up at Formakin House in Renfrewshire from the early 1920s. A keen gardener, Holms was a founder member of the Rhododendron Society, and his collection began to outgrow the space available at Formakin. The woodland site at Làrach Mòr was ideal in its climate and setting for the cultivation of Rhododendrons. He began by transplanting specimens from Formakin, and adding new plants with the ultimate aim of assembling an example of every species then available in Britain. Holms kept a detailed catalogue of each plant and its provenance, with corresponding labels attached to the specimens. He created shelter through plantings of Western Hemlock, bamboo and hornbeam, and established other flowering plants such as Embothrium, Gevuina, Weinmannia, Lomatia, Cunninghamia and Magnolia.</p><br>
<p>Holms began work on redeveloping a cottage on the site, employing architect Robert Lorimer who had designed Formakin House. On Holms death in 1938, the house remained incomplete, but the Rhododendron collection included some 200 species. A sale of plants took place in 1939, leading to the partial dispersal of the collection. John Brennan, one of Holms gardeners, continued to maintain the remaining plants, living in a bothy on site until 1959. From the 1960s, management has been renewed. In 2003, the "outstanding horticultural interest" of the collection was recognised through inclusion in the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes.</p><br>
<p>The James G. Blaine Mansion is an historic house, located at 2000 Massachusetts Avenue NW, Washington, D.C., in the Dupont Circle neighborhood.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built in 1881, designed by architect John Fraser in the Châteauesque/Second Empire style. It is the only surviving example of the large mansions built during the late 1800s that once ringed Dupont Circle.</p><br>
<p>It was built as the residence of Republican politician James G. Blaine.</p><br>
<p>George Westinghouse bought the home in 1901, and resided there until his death in 1914.</p><br>
<p>In recent years, the Blaine Mansion has been used for commercial purposes.</p><br>
<p>The current owner, lawyer John R. Phillips, hired Eichberg Construction to renovate the property. Work included adding an underground parking deck, adjoining six-story residential building, and restaurant. The renovation and allied construction projects cost an estimated $20 million.</p><br>
<p>The Blaine Mansion is a contributing property to the Dupont Circle Historic District, and Massachusetts Avenue Historic District.</p><br>
<p>Lincoln Temple United Church of Christ is a congregation of the United Church of Christ located in the Shaw neighborhood in the Northwest Quadrant of Washington, D.C. Its church building is a historic structure that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The congregation can trace its roots back to the Lincoln Industrial Mission, which was founded as an educational and social aid mission. It was built on this site in 1868-1869. Ten members of First Congregational Church established Lincoln Memorial Congregational Church in 1880 at the mission. The congregation merged with Park Temple Congregational Church in 1901 and it was given its present name.</p><br>
<p>The American Negro Academy, the first major African American learned society in the United States, was formed by the Rev. Alexander Crummell and other intellectuals in 1897. Preachers and scholars such as Julian Bond and Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr. have spoken from its pulpit.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The present church building was designed by Howard Wright Cutler in the Italian Romanesque Revival style. It was completed in 1928. The building features a basilican plan with arched windows. The exterior has variegated brick and a gabled roof. The west façade of the church is dominated by a rose window and an arcaded portico. The portico features stone columns with foliate Byzantine capitals, corbelled frieze and a tile roof.</p><br>
<p>The Quanah Parker Star House, with stars painted on its roof, is located in the city of Cache, county of Comanche, in the USA state of Oklahoma. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places listings in Comanche County, Oklahoma, in 1970.</p><br>
<p>Built by Comanche chief Quanah Parker circa 1890, the structure was purchased by his daughter Laura Neda Parker Birdsong upon Parkers 1911 death. Originally located near the Wichita Mountains north of Cache on Fort Sills west range, Birdsong moved the house from its original location to Cache and sold it to Herbert Woesner in 1958. Although no one can be certain why Parker painted the stars on his roof, lore has it that he meant it as a display of rank and importance equal to a military general. The current owner, Woesners nephew Wayne Gipson, offered the explanation told to him by Parkers descendants that the Chief had been to Washington D.C. to speak with Theodore Roosevelt, and while there had stayed in a "five star hotel". Parker had 10 stars painted on his roof to explain to Roosevelt upon his arrival that he would have better accommodations with ten stars instead of five. The Preservation Oklahoma organization has listed the Star House as endangered.</p><br>
<p>After Parkers surrender in 1875, he lived for many years in a reservation tipi. Parker decided that he needed living quarters more befitting his status among the Comanches, and more suitable to his position as a spokesperson for the white cattle owners. In order to accommodate his multiple wives and children, this two-story eight-bedroom clapboard house with ten-foot ceilings and a picket fence was constructed for Parker. Request for financial assistance was denied by the United States government. Parkers friends in the cattle business, in particular 6666 Ranch owner Samuel Burk Burnett, financed the building of the house. The cost of construction was slightly over $2,000 ($48,000 in 2010, adjusted for inflation). In his formal wallpapered dining room with its wood-burning stove, Parker entertained white business associates, celebrities and tribal members alike. Among his celebrated visitors was Theodore Roosevelt. Parker was a founding supporter of the Native American Church. His home was often the scene of practitioners who sought him out for spiritual advice. Parker fed hungry tribal members in his home and was known to never turn away anyone.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>The Star House is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is also on Oklahoma&#39;s list of Most Endangered Historic Places. A storm in 2015 further damaged the already crumbling house, but stimulated efforts to preserve and reconstruct it, although preservation efforts are complicated by the fact that the house is in private ownership. A grant from the National trust for Historic Preservation enabled an assessment of the condition of the house and developed a plan to maintain it. The cost of restoring the house was estimated at more than one million dollars.</p><br>

<p>St. Peter&#39;s Catholic Church is a site on the National Register of Historic Places located in Wibaux, Montana. It was added to the Register on March 14, 1990.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>An inscription on the original stained glass window in the sacristy reads: "Through the generosity of Pierre Wibaux this church was dedicated to St. Peter in 1895."</p><br>
<p>For the centennial celebration of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Great Falls-Billings in 2004, a photo catalogue of parishes was published, containing comments about the old St. Peter&#39;s Church.</p><br>
<p>Several years later the building ceased to be used for catechesis, and the nave and sanctuary have since been restored to their original form. Those who wish to visit the interior may contact the Wibaux Historical Society.</p><br>
<p>The John and Sarah Sheffield House, also known as Paradise Springs Farm, in southeast Portland in the USA state of Oregon, is a two-story dwelling listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1866 as a farm house, it was added to the register in 1991. It is one of the oldest remaining homes in its neighborhood.</p><br>
<p>Located on the western slope of Mount Tabor, the house is in a residential part of the Sunnyside neighborhood. Built in a Classic Revival architectural style with Italianate decorative elements, the two-story structure was augmented in the early 20th century by two single-story additions to the rear. The original house plan is based on two gables set perpendicular to one another. Constructed of heavy timbers, the house is balloon-framed and is supported by brick columns and by timbers that rest on bricks and stones. Most of the original sash windows contain wavy glass with air bubbles. Interior features include the six original rooms, three on each floor, with ceilings that are 107 in high downstairs and 103 in high upstairs. These rooms have original baseboard with crown molding and four-panel doors. A staircase with a banister and a turned newel post connects the two levels.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1849, Perry and Elizabeth Prettyman settled a Donation Land Claim of 620 acre in East Portland. In 1866, the Sheffields bought 10 acre of this property from the Prettymans and built the T-shaped house, which they sold in 1872. At the time the Sheffields bought the property, East Portland was sparsely settled except for businesses along the east bank of the Willamette River. Most residents further east were farmers who lived in small cabins or were engaged in building the first homes. Though many changes occurred in the neighborhood after the house was built, the Sheffield house has retained most of its original features.</p><br>
<p>The Donald and Helen Olsen House, in Berkeley, California, was built in 1954.</p><br>
<p>It is a Modernist, International-style house designed by architect Donald Olsen. Olsen is a native of Minnesota who studied under Walter Gropius at Harvard and established an architecture practice in Berkeley in 1953.</p><br>
<p>The house is situated on a slope in the North Berkeley Hills near John Hinkel Park. The structures main floor was built above ground level to maximize the sites views of San Francisco Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge. However, the view has been obscured over the years by the growth of mature trees on the property. The National Park Service described the houses style as follows: "The houses design is specifically the International style popularized in Europe by architects Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Walter Gropius, and Le Corbusier. The Olsen House displays the geometries, ethos, strict formalism and rigor that embody this utopian style." The house also includes a mural by artist Claire Falkenstein.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places on October 1, 2010. In its write-up, the Park Service called Olsen "an important mid-20th-century Bay Area architect."</p><br>
<p>The Hatch Homestead and Mill Historic District encompasses two properties associated with the locally prominent Hatch family on Union Street in Marshfield, Massachusetts. It includes an early Georgian colonial house , and a 19th-century water-powered mill, both located on sites that had seen similar use since the 17th century. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Hatch Homestead and Mill are located in northern Marshfield, on the west side of Union Street opposite its junction with Pine Street. Both buildings are set well back from the street. The mill is located down a gravel drive directly opposite Pine Street, while the house is located nearly 1/3 of a mile west of the Union Street, and is now accessed via a drive to the south. To the south of the mill is the site of the mill pond, which was created by damming a stream flowing west to the North River. The house is located on the south side of the stream, at a distance below the dam.</p><br>
<p>The mill is a roughly T-shaped wood frame structure, with a heavy timber frame on a fieldstone foundation. It houses an original water-powered driveshaft, which was used to drive an up-and-down saw blade. The building has undergone a number of restorative actions, and is (as of 2016) in another phase of restoration by the town.</p><br>
<p>The house is a 2-1/2 story timber-frame structure, with a gabled roof and central chimney. Single-story wings extend to either side of the main block. Although this house was traditionally given a construction date of c. 1647, architectural analysis indicates the use of 18th-century construction methods in building it. The property was acquired in 1647 by Walter Hatch, who built a house on this property, and was probably responsible for damming the stream and establishing a mill, although none of his buildings are now believed to survive. The house was probably built by Hatchs son or grandson. The Hatch family owned both properties until the 1960s. Author Sarah Messer grew up in the house, and featured the house in her book, Red House: Being a Mostly Accurate Account of New Englands Oldest Continuously Lived-In House.</p><br>
<p>This particular Mud Lake is located in Highlands County, Florida. "Mud Lake" is a very common name for lakes in the United States and Canada. Possibly 1,000 lakes are named Mud Lake in these two countries. Even in Florida at least twenty-three lakes are named "Mud Lake." The Highlands Ridge website refers to the area of the lake as Paulies Lake. The main body of this Mud Lake is oval in shape. This part of the lake measures 1,500 ft by 1,000 ft. The tail is 750 ft by 100 ft. Mud Lakes surface area is 32.5 acre. This lake more resembles a swamp than it does a lake.</p><br>
<p>Highlands Ridge is retirement housing developments and two golf courses. The northern part of Highlands Ridge has housing just beyond the south side of Mud Lake. The northern Highlands Ridge golf course almost totally surrounds the lake. There is no public road access to this lake, as Highlands Ridge is a gated community. HookandBullet.Com provides a bit of fishing information. It says the lake contains sturgeon, gar and bluegill.</p><br>
<p>Ōmura Bay is a bay of the East China Sea in the centre of Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The bay measures about 26 km north-to-south and 11 km east-to-west. The length of the shoreline is about 360 km and the surface area is about 320 km&sup2;. This corresponds with about 8% of the total area of the prefecture. Compared to its size, the bay is relatively shallow with an average depth of 14.8 m and maximum 54 m depth.</p><br>
<p>The bay is surrounded by land in all directions, thus it appears as an inland sea on maps. The only two connections to the East China Sea are in the north-west: the Hario Strait with a minimum width of 200 m and – more eastward – the Haiki Strait with a width of 10 to 200 m. However, these two straits do not directly lead to the open sea, but to the Sasebo Bay. In between the Hario and Haiki Straits lies Hario Island. West of the Ōmura Bay lies the Nishisonogi Peninsula, and to the south is the foot of Mount Kotonoo. On the eastern shore of the bay is the, on which the city of Ōmura is located. Opposite Ōmura city lies the largest island of the bay: Mishima (箕島), where Nagasaki Airport is located. For this purpose, the island first had to be flattened and reshaped.</p><br>
<p>Along the bay shore lie the following towns, clockwise from the north: Sasebo, Kawatana, Higashisonogi, Ōmura, Isahaya, Nagayo, Togitsu, Nagasaki and Saikai.</p><br>
<h2>Biology</h2><br>
<p>Because of the geography of the bay there is only a small exchange of water from the bay with the sea. Consequently, the marine life in the bay is different from that in the nearby sea. The bay houses a rare species of finless porpoise, which does not leave the bay during its lifetime. Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins and common dolphins may migrate into the basin on unclear regularities. Another special inhabitant – sometimes characterised as a living fossil – is the horseshoe crab species Tachypleus tridentatus. Despite being nearly separated from the sea, and the large cities along its shore, the bay is full of fish. About 60 species of marine animals are fished.</p><br>
<p>The D.E. Frantz House is located on West Bleeker Street in Aspen, Colorado, United States. It is a wooden frame house constructed for a local lumber magnate during the 1880s in the Queen Anne architectural style. It has remained a private residence ever since and is largely intact. In 1987 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places along with other historic properties in the city. Included in the listing is a small barn in the back, although the date of its construction is not known.</p><br>
<p>It is the only Victorian house in Aspen that retains its oriel window. The extension of the gabled roof on one side to shelter the porch is also a unique feature within the city. At the time it was listed it was owned by Ruth Whyte,</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The house is on the southwest corner of the intersection of West Bleeker and North Third Street, a block north of West Main Street (State Highway 82). To the west, on the opposite side of the street, is Pioneer Park, also listed on the Register. Another listed property, the Smith–Elisha House, is a block away on West Main. The neighborhood is at the point where the hotels on the edge of downtown Aspen, to the east, gives way to the residential enclaves of the city&#39;s West End. Tall shade trees are interspersed among the houses, which are mostly of more modern construction. The terrain is level, on the plain between Aspen Mountain to the south and the Roaring Fork River to the north.</p><br>
<p>A white picket fence separates the front yard from the sidewalk. The building itself is a one-and-three-quarter-story wood frame structure on a foundation of peachblow sandstone. It is topped by a steeply pitched cross-gabled roof. The main entrance is to the west of the front section, on the north face of the crossing section, on a porch with turned posts and brackets.</p><br>
<p>Siding is clapboard, with wide plain belt courses marking the top and bottom of the large one-over-one double-hung sash window in the center of the first story. Wood shingles are used on the section of the north (front) facade that overhangs the walkway on the east side to the front entrance. The oriel window on the second story has two smaller versions of the first-floor window with a sunburst design on the two panels above, topped by fishscale shingles in the gable apex. Vergeboard decorated with geometric patterns runs along the roofline.</p><br>
<p>The rear elevation has a French door as its entrance and a rectangular window in the gable apex. Inside, the rooms feature unpainted wooden trim and high ceilings. In the rear is a one-story gabled barn. It is considered a contributing resource to the NRHP listing.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built in 1886, during Aspens original silver-mining boom years. According to one account, it was built by Copeland George, manager of a local sampling works. It became better known as the home of Frantz, a local lumber magnate, although it is not certain that he ever actually lived there although the wood did come from his sawmill. The date of the rear barns construction is unknown.</p><br>
<p>It has remained a private home since then. The rear window in the gable apex may have been added later, and the picket fence was erected in 1972. Other than that it has not been significantly altered, and its colors are true to the period in which it was constructed. The oriel window is the only one remaining on a Victorian house in Aspen.</p><br>
<p>Watergate House is in Watergate Street, Chester, Cheshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Watergate House was built in 1820 as a town house for Henry Potts, Clerk of the Peace for the County of Cheshire. It was designed by Thomas Harrison. In 1907 it became the headquarters of Western Command. It then became the headquarters of the Cheshire Community Council, and has since been used as offices.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The house is constructed in Flemish bond brown brick with stone dressings and a grey slate roof. It has two storeys plus a basement. The plan of the main block is square, with the entrance in a recessed convex quadrant at the northeast corner. A service wing projects to the south. Six curved steps lead up to a curved eight-panel door with four-pane sidelights and a three-pane overlight. The door is surrounded by an Ionic doorcase. Above this, in the upper storey, is a twelve-pane sash window in an architrave, the bottom panel of which is inscribed with aa crown flanked by initials "E" and "R". Both storeys on the east and north sides contain three twelve-pane sash windows. On the west (garden) front is a central two-storey bay window containing sash windows, flanked by sash windows in each storey. The entrance door leads through a domed circular lobby to an octagonal central hall.</p><br>
<p>Caddo Mounds State Historic Site   is an archaeological site in Weeping Mary, Texas. This Caddoan Mississippian culture site is composed of a village and ceremonial center that features two earthwork platform mounds and one burial mound. Located on an ancient Native American trail later named by the Spanish as El Camino Real de los Tejas, the settlement developed hundreds of years before the arrival of Europeans and Africans to the region. Archaeologists believe the site was founded in approximately 800CE, with most major construction taking place between 1100CE and 1300CE.</p><br>
<p>The Caddo Mounds site is located in East Texas, 6 mi west of Alto, Texas on Texas State Highway 21 near its intersection with USA Route 69 in the Piney Woods region. Operated by the Texas Historical Commission, the museum at the site was reopened in October 2015. The new museum offers visitors a chance to explore a replica Caddo village, and all exhibits are hands-on. Visitors can walk the 0.7 mi self-guided interpretive trail to see the Caddo burial, low temple, and ceremonial mounds. An additional trail along the El Camino Real is also available.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The site began with the founding of a permanent village by the Hasinai, who moved into the region from the Red River area to the northeast, in roughly 850 to 900CE. The region had ideal qualities for a village: good soil, abundant food resources, and a permanent water source that flowed into the Neches River. The site was the southwestern-most ceremonial mound center of all the great mound building cultures of North America.</p><br>
<p>The settlement was abandoned in the 13th century when the elite ruling class dissipated after the outlying hamlets became more self-sufficient and grew less dependent on the site for religious and political matters. The Caddo culture that remained was similar to the earlier culture in many ways but lacked much of its hierarchical structure and exotic material wealth. By the time Europeans arrived in the area in the 18th century, the Caddo groups in the area lived in small villages and hamlets, spread across the local landscape. They had long since stopped building mounds, and their former hierarchical social and political organization had become much less centralized.</p><br>
<p>The Hasinai groups continued to live in the Neches and Angelina River valleys up to the 1830s, but by the early 1840s, all Caddo groups had moved to the Brazos River area in an effort to avoid Anglo-American colonization. In 1855 the USA government moved them to the Brazos Indian Reservation. In 1859 it forced them to move again, to the Washita River in Indian Territory (now western Oklahoma). The Caddo still live in western Oklahoma, and Binger is the capital of the federally recognized Caddo Nation of Oklahoma.</p><br>
<h2>Modern excavations</h2><br>
<p>The earliest recorded mention of the mounds was in 1779 by Athanase de Mézières, who traveled from Louisiana to San Antonio in the employ of the Spanish government. In 1919 American James Edwin Pearce was the first professional archeologist to record the site for the Bureau of Ethnology (Smithsonian Institution). In 1933 archeologist E. B. Sayles concluded that the site was a Caddo mound center, after conducting surface collection of artifacts at the location.</p><br>
<p>The first scientific excavations were conducted from 1939 to 1941 by H. Perry Newell, a University of Texas archeologist with the federal Work Projects Administration in the government of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. When Newell died, archeologist Alex D. Krieger took over investigations at the site and concluded that it had been a major Caddo site. Further excavations in the 1960s and early 1970s by Dee Ann Story pinpointed the timeline of the site to 780 and 1260.</p><br>
<p>After acquiring seventy acres of the site, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department established a historic park in 1974. It funded a series of excavations in the 1970s and 1980s. As the result of these excavations by the University of Texas at Austin, Texas A&M University, and private contractor Elton R. Prewitt, another twenty-three acres of land was added to the park in 1981. An interpretive visitors center was constructed at the site. In 2008 the 80th Texas Legislature transferred operational control of the property to the Texas Historical Commission.</p><br>
<p>The museum and members of the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma have collaborated on activities that help the public understand Caddo culture. In July 2016, elder Phil Cross was interviewed about construction of a Caddo grass house at the site, with workers using traditional techniques.</p><br>
<p>Chester College Chapel is on the corner of Cheyney Road and Parkgate Road in Chester, Cheshire, England. The chapel has been incorporated as part of the University of Chester. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Chester College was built between 1839 and 1842 as the first purpose-built teacher training college in England. Its chapel was added between 1844 and 1847. The chapel was designed by the Manchester architect J. E. Gregan, and its construction was assisted by the students of the college, who helped to quarry and carve the stone, to carve the woodwork, and to work with the stained glass. The chapel has since been incorporated into the University of Chester.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The chapel is constructed in coursed red sandstone, with a Westmorland green slate roof. Its architectural style is Geometric. It has a rectangular plan, with north and south porches, and a southwest bellcote. The bellcote is slender and octagonal, with arched bell openings, and is surmounted by a crocketed spire. At the west end of the chapel is a four-light window, and there is a five-light east window. Inside the chapel is a tiered west gallery, The stalls face each other. Around the chapel is an oak dado inscribed with texts. The chapel is floored with encaustic tiles. The organ case is elaborate with carved tracery, and has three gables. It was built in 1856, and was designed by Revd T. N. Hutchinson. The church contains three copies of paintings by Old Masters, which were donated by the Duke of Westminster. The stained glass in the east window was designed by the students of the college. On the south side of the chapel are windows designed by Trena Cox between 1923 and 1962, by Wippell in 1964, and by Powells in 1952, depicting the students building the chapel. The west window dating from 1989 is by Penny Kemp-Jones. Inside the chapel is a memorial to Revd Arthur Rigg, the first principal of the college who served for 30 years, which was designed by J. S. Westmacott.</p><br>
<p>Bohemia Mountain is a mountain in the Cascade Range of the USA state of Oregon, within the Umpqua National Forest. Its elevation is 5,994 ft. A trail traverses the mountain and leads to the summit. There is a location east of the trail&#39;s end where on a clear day one can see Mount Shasta, Mount Hood, and other peaks of the Cascades. Camping is available in the area. An abundance of wildflowers and plants bloom on the mountain from late June to mid-August, which attracts butterflies to the area.</p><br>
<h2>Ghost town</h2><br>
<p>Bohemia City is a ghost town that lies off the trailhead. A few buildings and some mining equipment remain from the original settlement, which consisted of saloons, hotels, and some residences. The area surrounding the mountain was once known as the Bohemia mining district, named after the Czech immigrant James "Bohemia" Johnson, who discovered gold in the area in 1863. A gold mine and the settlement were established in 1866.</p><br>
<h2>Climate</h2><br>
<p>Bohemia Mountain&#39;s climate is influenced by its location in the Pacific Northwest and the Cascade Range, as well as its elevation. The mountain has cool winter temperatures (above the -3 &deg;C persistent snow line isotherm but still freezing), and summers with warm afternoon highs and cool lows (near 40 &deg;F). Because of these summer temperatures, as well as the seasonal lag typical of the Pacific Northwest coastal regions, spring occurs as late as the latter part of June, and temperatures warm enough for plant growth to continue into September.</p><br>
<p>With summer daily average temperatures above 10 &deg;C for only three months out of the year, winters that are colder than 0 &deg;C, and the pronounced summer dry season (well below the Köppen summer dry season threshold of 30 mm or less), Bohemia Mountains&#39;s climate is the rare dry-summer variant of the subalpine climate (Köppen Dsc).</p><br>
<p>Goat Lake is an alpine lake in Custer County, Idaho, United States, located high in the Sawtooth Mountains in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area. The lake is approximately 6 mi southwest of Stanley. The lake is most easily accessed from the Iron Creek trailhead, which can be accessed from State Highway 21 via Sawtooth National Forest road 619.</p><br>
<p>The route to lake follows a combination of the Iron Creek trail, Alpine Way trail, and an unmaintained hiking trail to Goat Lake. The trail is about 8.5 miles round trip and gains 1615 feet in elevation. Along the hiking trail are Goat Falls, which on are on Goat Creek, which flows into the lake and drains out of it.</p><br>
<p>With a surface elevation of 8,220 ft above sea level, Goat Lake often remains frozen into early summer.</p><br>
<p>Goat Lake is in the Sawtooth Wilderness, and a wilderness permit can be obtained at trailheads. The hike to Goat Lake from the Iron Creek trailhead is a popular hike in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area. This trail gains 1,615 ft and offers great views of the Sawtooth Valley. Visitors are permitted to camp anywhere in the National Forest, including around Goat Lake.</p><br>
<p>Volovets Pass  is a mountain pass in the north-eastern Carpathian Mountains of Ukraine through the Vodorazdel&#39;nyy backbone. Its crest is at 1,014 m height. It is located on the border of Skole Raion of the Lviv Oblast and the Volovets Raion of the Zakarpattia Oblast, on the watershed of the rivers Opir and Viche.</p><br>
<p>The southern slope of the pass is steep, while the northern flank is declivous. It consists of sandstones and slates. Volovets Pass is only sparsely populated with meadows dominating the landscape. Below the mountain pass there is a system of railway tunnels connecting Mukachevo and Stryj.</p><br>
<p>Automobile traffic across the pass is impossible since the road is too difficult to traverse. The nearest settlements are Oporec and Skotarskoe.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Alice Lake is an alpine lake in Blaine County, Idaho, United States, located high in the Sawtooth Mountains in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area. The lake is one of the largest in the Sawtooth Wilderness and is most easily accessed via the trailhead at Pettit Lake, accessed from State Highway 75 via Sawtooth National Forest road 208.</p><br>
<p>The direct route to the lake begins at the trailhead at the end of the Pettit Lake campground. The trail distance is about 5.5 mi to the lake and gains about 1,600 feet (490 m) in elevation. The trail requires five stream crossings, only the last of which has a bridge.</p><br>
<p>With a surface elevation of 8,602 ft above sea level, Alice Lake can remain frozen into early summer. The lake is framed by the rocky peaks of the Sawtooth Mountains, to the east is El Capitan at 9,901 ft.</p><br>
<p>Alice Lake is within the Sawtooth Wilderness; wilderness permits are obtained at a registration box along the trail at the wilderness boundary, at the upstream end of Pettit Lake.</p><br>
<p>The Luce County Sheriff&#39;s House and Jail was originally built as a correctional facility and government building at 411 West Harrie Street in Newberry, Michigan, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 and designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1975.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The town of Newberry was founded in 1882, and was the only settlement of any size in the area when Luce County was founded five years later. Newberry was named county seat, A grandiose Victorian courthouse was erected in Newberry in 1890. A few year later, the Luce County Jail and Sheriff&#39;s Residence was constructed, designed by the Marquette firm of Lovejoy and Demar as a counterpoint to the nearby courthouse.</p><br>
<h2>Luce County Historical Museum</h2><br>
<p>This structure served as the jail and sheriff&#39;s residence for over 70 years. In 1975, the nearby courthouse was torn down, but the Luce County Historical Society rescued the jail and restored the building. In 1976, it reopened as the Luce County Historical Museum.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Luce County Jail and Sheriff&#39;s House is a three-story structure built with three wings in an irregular plan. Two side wings adjoin the main front section, with a third two-story wing, housing the jail, attached at the rear. The structure sits on a split fieldstone foundation. The first story is faced with Jacobsville sandstone, the second is faced with red, sand-molded brick, while the upper story is covered with fishscale shingles. The roofing was originally wood shakes but is now asphalt shingling. A metal-roofed cupola is on one corner of the building. Romanesque detailing on the building include the cut stone, arches over the windows and doors, and the polished granite columns supporting the front porch overhang.</p><br>
<p>The building remains essentially unaltered from its original construction, and is an effective reminder of the opulence of the surrounding community in the Victorian era.</p><br>
<p>The Ten Curves Road–Manistique River Bridge was a bridge carrying Ten Curves Road over the Manistique River in Germfask Township, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999, and was demolished in 2013.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Michigan State Highway Department developed standard plans for long-span concrete through girder bridges with arched girders on cantilevered brackets in 1921-22. The first bridge of this type constructed in the state was a 90-foot span in Tecumseh, built in 1922. Another early version of this type of bridge was the 90 foot span, designated Bridge Number 750 02, built in 1923 for the Germfask crossing of the Manistique River.</p><br>
<p>The Germfask bridge was part of the construction of M-98 between Germfask and nearby Luce County line. The MSHD awarded Harry Erickson, a contractor from Manistique, the contract to build the bridge this bridge. Erickson completed the structure in 1923 for a cost of $26,190.81. The previous trunkline is now downgraded to a county road, but the bridge over the Manistique River remained essentially unaltered until its demolition.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Ten Curves Road–Manistique River Bridge in Germfask consisted of two 90 foot, arched concrete through girders sitting on concrete brackets cantilevered from concrete abutments. The roadway was 22.3 feet wide, with an overall structure width of 25.3 feet. Twelve concrete floor beams, integrally cast into the deck, ran between the main spans. The walls of the bridge were punctured with five small arched cutouts. Guardrails had been installed at each end of the bridge. Prior to the bridge&#39;s demolition, the concrete walls of the bridge were severely spalled, but the bridge remained structurally sound.</p><br>

<p>Fairfield Inn, also known as The Mansion House, is a historic inn and tavern in Fairfield, Adams County, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Fairfield Inn is a 3 1/2-story, stone structure with a gable roof. It features a three-story Victorian Gothic-style porch.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The tavern property was part of a larger tract of land of 247 acres that was conveyed on December 19, 1755 to John Miller, (founder of Fairfield), Charles Carroll of Maryland. Statesman Patrick Henry, known for the final line of his famous speech of "Give me Liberty or give me death" was a visitor of the Inn and relative of John Millers wife, Isabel Henry Miller. The Inn was used as a meeting house in the 1700s and during the 1800s as a stagecoach stop and drovers tavern on the former Great Road, which connected York, PA, and Hagerstown, MD. It remained part of Maryland until the Mason–Dixon line was drawn in 1767, officially placing Fairfield in Pennsylvania. It served as a Confederate Civil War hospital during the Gettysburg Campaign American Civil War. Innkeeper at the time, Peter Shively filed a claim for damages done to his property by the Confederate Army. These losses included lard, oats, corn, whiskey, brandy, win, gin, and rum. The damages totaled $278. In 1862 General J.E.B. Stuart raided the town of Fairfield and The Fairfield Inn stopping briefly for libations and food. On the retreat from Gettysburg, July 4, 1863, General Robert E. Lee passed through town directly in front of the Fairfield Inn stopping for food and drink and leaving some of the dead and dying Confederate men.</p><br>
<p>The Fairfield Inn was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 2, 1973. It is located in the Fairfield Historic District. On the Inns 250th anniversary, August 2007, Governor Ed Rendell personally delivered and presented to the Innkeepers The House of Representatives Citation celebrating 250 consecutive years in business reaffirming the longevity and distinction The Fairfield Inn played in the areas history - attested by PA House Representative Daniel Moul and Speaker of the House, Dennis M. O&#39;Brien.</p><br>

<p>The Thomas Nelson Page House is an historic house located in the Dupont Circle neighborhood of Washington, D.C. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1975. The building currently serves as headquarters for the American Institute for Cancer Research.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Georgian Revival mansion was designed by Stanford White of the prominent architectural firm of McKim, Mead & White. It is a notable example of an adaptation of 18th century English-American residential architecture with consideration given to late-19th century needs of space, scale and function. The residence was completed in 1896 for writer Thomas Nelson Page and his second wife, heiress Florence Lathrop Field Page. It was the center of Washington’s literary and social life in late 19th and early 20th centuries.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The -story mansion is situated on a polygonal corner site along a street with other imposing residences. The facades of the building are composed of Harvard brick timed in limestone and white-painted wood. The exterior features an Ionic portico, a fanlight doorway, a side loggia, a piano nobile with iron balconies and arcaded windows. The ceremonial interiors are arranged around an open stair hall. White was also the architect when the loggia was enclosed in 1903 to create vaulted garden room with lattice ceiling.</p><br>
<p>Elk Lake is an alpine lake in Boise County, Idaho, United States, located in the Sawtooth Mountains in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area. The lake is approximately 15 mi southwest of Stanley and 9.5 mi southeast of Grandjean. Located in the remote central Sawtooth Wilderness, Elk Lake is most easily reached from the Grandjean trailhead to the northwest and downstream along the South Fork of the Payette River.</p><br>
<p>Elk Lake is a shallow non-glacial lake (in contrast to almost all other lakes in the Sawtooths) that is largely wetlands due to sedimentation. There are several glacial lakes upstream of Elk Lake, including Vernon Lake, Edna Lake, Ardeth Lake, and Virginia Lake.</p><br>
<p>Edna Lake is in the Sawtooth Wilderness and wilderness permit can be obtained at trailheads.</p><br>
<p>Hell Roaring Lake is an alpine lake in Custer County, Idaho, United States, located in the Sawtooth Mountains in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area. The lake is approximately 13.3 mi southwest of Stanley. The lake can be accessed from State Highway 75 in the Sawtooth Valley. There is a trailhead about two miles from the lake on Sawtooth National Forest road 097, which is a high clearance road. There is another trailhead about two miles further downstream along forest road 210 for those who cannot drive road 097 as well as horses.</p><br>
<p>Hell Roaring Lake is in the Sawtooth Wilderness and wilderness permit can be obtained at trailheads. The lake is surrounded by the Finger of Fate at 9,775 ft and other peaks. Upstream of Hell Roaring Lake is Imogene Lake, Profile Lake, Mushroom Lake, and Lucille Lake.</p><br>
<p>Imogene Lake is an alpine lake in Custer County, Idaho, United States, located in the Sawtooth Mountains in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area. The lake is approximately 15 mi southwest of Stanley. The lake can be accessed from State Highway 75 in the Sawtooth Valley. There is a trailhead downstream of Hell Roaring Lake at the end of Sawtooth National Forest road 097, which is a high clearance road. There is another trailhead about two miles further downstream along forest road 210 for those who cannot drive road 097 as well as horses.</p><br>
<p>Hell Roaring Lake is in the Sawtooth Wilderness and wilderness permit can be obtained at trailheads. There are about three (depending on water levels) very small islands in the lake, the largest of which is less than 200 ft long. Several other small lakes surround Imogene Lake, while Hell Roaring Lake is downstream, Mushroom Lake is upstream, and Edith Lake over the ridge to the south of Imogene.</p><br>
<p>Plaid Loch  was a freshwater loch in the East Ayrshire Council Area, now a remnant due to drainage, near Sinclairston and 2 miles south-east of Drongan, lying in a glacial Kettle Hole, Parish of Ochiltree, Scotland.</p><br>
<h2>The loch</h2><br>
<p>Plaid Loch is one of four small lochs recorded in the 1880s, two of them artificial, within the Parish of Ochiltree.</p><br>
<p>The Barlosh Moss is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and possess a significant moth population. Once part of Plaid Loch, it is now marshy land that is home to carex grass, heather, juncus, pine, birch and thorn.</p><br>
<h3>Cartographic evidence</h3><br>
<p>Robert Gordons map of circa 1636-52 marks the loch lying close to Belston Loch and Auchencloigh Castle, slightly the larger loch and to the north on the same watercourse. Blaeus map of circa 1654 taken from Timothy Pont&#39;s map of circa 1600 shows Plaid Loch and a Trinmaks River as the outflow. A location recorded as Lochhill lies to the north and East Plaid is nearby. The loch is roughly circular and slightly smaller than Belston Loch.</p><br>
<p>Molls map of 1745 shows a single loch that could be either Belston or Plaid. Roys map of 1747 does not record the loch position, however a Laigh Plaid and High Plaid are marked. Armstrongs map of 1775 shows a substantial elongated loch with a Belston and a Drumsmiden nearby and an inflow from the north coming from the vicinity of Rattenraw (Rottenrow). In 1821 a rounded loch is clearly shown, fed by burns from Ochiltree and Glenconnor. In 1832 Thomsons map shows a rounded Plaid&#39; with substantial surrounding marshlands; Laigh and High Plaid are recorded.</p><br>
<p>In 1880 the loch was situated amongst extensive marshland and scrub with an outflow passing the Rottenrow area into the Burnock Water and running eventually into the Lugar Water, with an inflow from Belston Loch. Barlosh Farm lies to the west and Laigh Plaid borders the site. A small island is shown in the south-west area. The loch in 1857 had a surface area of 7.952 acres and the small island had trees upon it. Much of the surrounding land was very marshy at this time. By 1896 only the core area of the loch still had open water and the island no longer existed as an independent entity. The 1950 aerial survey appears to show that the loch had been drained to the point where no open water was present. In the 1990s only a small area of marshy wetland is shown on the OS map</p><br>
<h2>Uses</h2><br>
<p>In 1840 and 1843 the loch was used for curling matches.</p><br>
<h2>Auchencloigh Castle</h2><br>
<p>Auchencloigh Castle or Auchincloigh Castle (NGR NS 4945 1666) is a ruined fortification in the vicinity of Belston and Plaid Lochs near the Burnton Burn, lying within the feudal lands of the Craufurd Clan, situated in the Parish of Ochiltree, East Ayrshire, Scotland.</p><br>
<h2>Micro-history</h2><br>
<p>John Millar, born in 1806, was a stonedyker and later a curling stone maker. He and his family lived at High Plaid (High Plyde) Farm. John died in 1889.</p><br>
<p>The area has seen extensive coal mining activity with an open cast mine and collieries at Drumsmodden, Polquhairn, Old Polquhairn, Auchlin, etc.</p><br>
<p>Early highways ran close to the loch, as indicated by names such as Glenconner, conaire being a Gaelic word for "path", and there is a farm called Rottenrow near to Glenconner, possibly derived from Route de Roi, or King&#39;s Highway.</p><br>
<p>The Friedensfeld Midlands Moravian Church and Manse are historic buildings in Christiansted, Saint Croix, Virgin Islands which are listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The present church building was built in 1854, replacing an 1819 structure. The 4 acre property, with its two contributing buildings, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>The two-story church, with its central section about 55 x in plan, was one of the largest wood frame structures in the USA Virgin Islands, and was deemed to be "significant for its unusual combination of combination of Carpenter&#39;s Gothic and Classical Revival elements.</p><br>
<p>The church may have been prefabricated in Germany and assembled by German craftsmen plus local builders.</p><br>
<p>The manse building is about 70 x in plan, and is connected to the church by a stone pathway. It was built in c.1810.</p><br>
<p>The Rull Men&#39;s Meetinghouse  is a historic meeting house in Rull, a village on the island of Yap in the Federated States of Micronesia. It is a large rectangular structure, set on a raised stone platform. The flooring consists of treated betelnut palm trunks, and has a steeply pitched roof made of bamboo supports with various types of tropical leaves tied in place using coconut fiber. The faluw, although not the first built on this platform, has historically occupied a central place in the civic life of the community, serving as a place where the men of the village could meet in seclusion, and as a place for social rites.</p><br>
<p>The meetinghouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976, when the region was part of the US-administered Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands.</p><br>
<p>Twinsburg Congregational Church is a historic church building on Twinsburg Public Square in Twinsburg, Ohio.</p><br>
<p>The Greek Revival building was constructed in 1848 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<p>The religious community that would later erect the First Congregational Church in Twinsburg in 1848 originally formed in 1822, and the members worshipped in various places for nearly a quarter century. The populating of Twinsburg preceded the organization of the church people by only half a decade. The church members used to meet in personal homes and the superior level of the gristmill at Old Mill Road and Ravenna Road prior to 1822. In 1822 the members congregated in a log school house constructed on the public square the same year. For a time later on, the church met in a frame church and school on the square, but the building did not survive because town government representatives concluded construction on the town square was illegal. In the 1830s another church building was constructed that was also near the square, but the current building in its present location was constructed in 1848. The charging for pews generated the funds to build the church, priced at $3,300. The church experienced a problem with the steeple when wind caused it to detach around 1856 or 1857, but it was repaired. People coming to church by horse constructed shelters for their animals at the back of the church’s property, but these were dismantled in the mid-1920s and repurposed for storage. Eventually an addition for classrooms in 1954 replaced the storage area.</p><br>
<p>The Whitelaw Hotel is an historic structure located in the Shaw neighborhood of the Northwest quadrant of Washington, D.C. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Whitelaw was built as an upscale apartment hotel in the Italian Renaissance Revival style for $158,000 in 1919. The building was designed by architect Isaiah T. Hatton, who was one of the nation&#39;s first African American architects. It was named for the mother of its builder John Whitelaw Lewis. It was completely financed and built by African American entrepreneurs, investors, designers, and craftsmen as a place of meeting and public accommodation for prominent African Americans during segregation. Entertainers, such as Cab Calloway, who performed on U Street stayed at the Whitelaw as well as other African Americans who came to Washington for meetings of national black organizations and could not stay in the city’s other hotels. Its large public spaces allowed the Whitelaw to become an important social center.</p><br>
<p>The end of legal Segregation in the United States and the rise in drugs in the neighborhood led to the decline of the Whitelaw. It was closed by the city in 1977 and was slated for demolition. Manna, Inc bought the building in 1991 and used historic tax credits to renovate it into low- and moderate-income housing. It re-opened in 1992.</p><br>
<p>Battle of Britain House, also known over time as Franklin House and Kokyo, was a private mansion in Ruislip that was used by the United States military to train agents for undercover missions in occupied France during the Second World War. After the war, the house was dedicated as a memorial to the Royal Air Force squadrons involved in the Battle of Britain, and became a residential college and headquarters to the Ruislip & District Natural History Society. The house was destroyed by fire in 1984 and demolished; in 1993 the site was cleared to allow it to be reclaimed by nature.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built by Josef Conn in 1905, after he had received a lease from Kings College, Cambridge, the owners of much of the land in Ruislip, to build within Copse Wood. At the time of building, it was possible to view the reservoir of what would become Ruislip Lido, and the church of Harrow on the Hill, St. Marys.</p><br>
<p>Meyer Franklin Kline, an American shipping magnate, took over the lease from Conn in 1920. He first renamed the house "Kokyo" to reflect his company&#39;s presence in Asia, followed by "Franklin House", after President Franklin D. Roosevelt. During his ownership, Kline had various ornaments from the Far East placed around the gardens, and had furniture built for the house using wood taken from the luxury cabins of his ships.</p><br>
<p>At the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939, Kline was in America and leased the house to a German national. The unnamed German was forced to relinquish his ownership due to regulations brought in by the British government.</p><br>
<p>The house was planned to be purchased as part of a war memorial scheme in which young people from Britain and the Empire would take part in exchange visits. Due to financial problems, the scheme could not buy the house, and it was instead purchased from King&#39;s College in 1948 by Middlesex County Council to become a welfare centre for young people. The house was renamed the Battle of Britain House, as had been part of the original plan, and featured plaques in the dining room with the badges of each Royal Air Force squadron active in the battle. The house was officially opened on 1 March 1949 by Air Chief Marshal Sir James Robb.</p><br>
<p>The house continued as a residential college run by Victor Stanyon, and from 1951 housed the headquarters of the Ruislip & District Natural History Society. It was destroyed by fire in 1984 and the ruins were demolished. Following a number of attempts to sell the site for development, it was agreed in 1993 to allow the ground to be returned to nature.</p><br>
<p>The Lancaster Block is an historic commercial building in downtown Portland, Maine. Located at 50 Monument Square, it is a fine local example of commercial Romanesque Revival architecture. It was built in 1881 and enlarged in 1908; it is named for Lancaster, New Hampshire, the hometown of its builder, J.B. Brown. it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Lancaster Block is located on the south side of Monument Square in central Portland, at the southeast corner of Center and Congress Streets, anchoring the southwestern end of the square. It is a six story masonry structure, built mostly out of red brick, with terra cotta and granite trim elements. The main facade faces north, toward Congress Street and the square, and is seven bays wide, with a center building entrance flanked by storefronts of wood and glass. Windows on the second and third floors are paired sash, set in segmented-arch openings, while on the fourth floor the individual sashes, still two per bay, are set in individual arched openings. A band of terra cotta paneling (the former building cornice) separates the fourth and fifth floors, with a gable above the central bay. Fifth floor windows are set in rectangular openings, while those on the top floor are set in rounded-arch openings, two per bay.</p><br>
<p>The building was designed by the partnership of John Calvin Stevens and Francis Fassett, and was built in 1881 for developer John B. Brown, then one of the citys leading businessmen. Originally only four stories were built; the upper two floors, which are stylistically sympathetic to the original, were added in 1908, their design credited to Fassetts firm.</p><br>
<p>The West Line Historic District is a residential community in central Austin, Texas, United States. The district encompasses an approximately 90-block tract of land located west of downtown. Bounded by Baylor Street to the east, Fifth Street to the south, Thirteenth Street to the north and Texas State Highway Loop 1 to the west. It is located south of the Old West Austin Historic District and southeast of the Clarksville Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The district comprises more than twenty-five subdivisions platted between 1871 and 1948, out of the George W. Spear League and Division Z of the government lands west of the original city center. Early settlement in the area consisted of expansive estates, later subdivided in response to the city’s burgeoning population. The West Sixth Street streetcar line, commonly referred to as the West Line, extended into the district from downtown and facilitated the development of suburban tracts. Due to the piecemeal development and hilly topography of the area, the streets form an irregular rectilinear grid. A number of notable nineteenth-century residences and institutional buildings exist throughout</p><br>
<p>the district, but the preponderance of resources consist of Craftsman and Classical Revival-influenced bungalows built during the height of the area&#39;s development from the 1910s-1930s. In keeping with the original developers’ intentions, the historic district maintains strong residential characteristics.</p><br>
<p>The area was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. It includes the neighborhoods of Raymond Heights, Raymond Plateau and Shelley Heights.</p><br>
<p>Canaan is a village and census-designated place  within the town of North Canaan in Litchfield County, Connecticut. Formerly known as Canaan Depot, the village is more commonly known as Canaan Village to distinguish it from the Town of Canaan located to the south of North Canaan. The Canaan Village Historic District is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. As of the 2010 census, the CDP had a total population of 1,212.</p><br>
<p>The historic district comprises about 93 acre, covering the central business district and surrounding residences of the village that preserve the period from the mid-19th to early 20th centuries. Canaan village developed as a regional commercial center, first by the construction of the north-south Housatonic Railroad, and then by the arrival of the east-west Connecticut Western Railroad. This junction made the village a major transit point for bringing the area&#39;s commercial goods to market. The district includes the Canaan Union Depot, built in 1872 to serve the two railroads.</p><br>
<p>The Canaan Fire Company was established in 1911.</p><br>

<p>The Abrolhos Archipelago  are a group of 5 small islands with coral reefs off the southern coast of Bahia state in the northeast of Brazil, between 17º25’—18º09’ S and 38º33’—39º05’ W. Caravelas is the nearest town. Their name comes from the abrolho , a rock awash or submerged sandbank that is a danger to ships. There is a conspicuous shipwreck in the group.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>These islets were surveyed by Baron Roussin. As part of the instructions for the second survey voyage of HMS Beagle, the Admiralty noted "the great importance of knowing the true position of the Abrolhos Banks, and the certainty that they extend much further out than the limits assigned to them by Baron Roussin", and asked Captain Robert FitzRoy to take soundings and establish the position of the reefs. The work was carried out from 27 to 30 March 1832, giving Charles Darwin the opportunity to examine the wildlife and geology of the islands.</p><br>
<h2>Features</h2><br>
<h3>Islands</h3><br>
<p>Ilha de Santa Bárbara, the largest island. There is a Brazilian Navy military outpost and a lighthouse.</p><br>
<p>Ilha Siriba, the only island open to visitors</p><br>
<p>Ilha Redonda</p><br>
<p>Ilha Guarita</p><br>
<p>Ilha Sueste</p><br>
<h3>Submerged banks</h3><br>
<p>Parcel dos Abrolhos, a large submerged reef extending from north to south east of the archipelago. Located 5 km to the east of Santa Barbara Island, its limits are not well defined.</p><br>
<p>Parcel das Paredes, located to the northwest of the archipelago and the largest feature of the wider Abrolhos.</p><br>
<p>Sebastiao Gomes Reef, Coroa Vermelha Reef and Viçosa Reef, located to the southwest of the Parcel das Paredes.</p><br>
<p>Timbebas Reef, located to the north near the coast.</p><br>
<h2>Wildlife</h2><br>
<p>The extensive reefs of the island group are an area of rich marine fauna. The uninhabited islets are a breeding ground for pelagic birds.</p><br>
<p>The Abrolhos Marine National Park (Parque Nacional Marinho dos Abrolhos) is a Marine Park located in the Abrolhos Archipelago since 1983. It is strictly forbidden to disembark on Ilha Guarita and Ilha Suest.</p><br>
<p>The Watervalley Wetlands consist of a series of contiguous wetlands, lying on 131 km of private land between the Coorong National Park and Gum Lagoon Conservation Park, in the Limestone Coast region of south-eastern South Australia.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The wetlands comprise Mandina Marshes, Mandina Lake, Cortina Lakes, Mrs Whites Lagoon, Caora and South Flagstaff, which form a chain between relict dune systems inland of the Coorong, about 250 km south-east of Adelaide. The water in the wetlands ranges from fresh to saline according to seasonal conditions. The area has a Mediterranean climate with cool, wet winters and warm, dry summers, and with an average annual rainfall of 450-500 mm. Most of the land is owned by Wetlands & Wildlife, a private conservation and land rehabilitation company, with the remainder expected to become the property of the company in due course.</p><br>
<h2>Fauna</h2><br>
<h3>Birds</h3><br>
<p>The site has been identified as an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because it supports over 1% of the world populations of sharp-tailed sandpipers, and sometimes of blue-billed and musk ducks, when water levels are suitable. It also provides habitat for diamond firetails. Other birds of conservation significance present at the wetlands include black-backed and Australasian bitterns, freckled ducks, Australasian shovellers, white-bellied sea-eagles, peregrine falcons, Latham&#39;s snipes, Baillon’s and spotless crakes, yellow-tailed black cockatoos, southern emu-wrens, chestnut-rumped heathwrens, diamond and beautiful firetails, and black-chinned honeyeaters. The wetlands also support large breeding colonies of several thousand ibises, egrets, spoonbills and cormorants.</p><br>
<h3>Other animals</h3><br>
<p>The site is home to red-necked wallabies and common wombats at the extreme western limit of their range. Rosenberg&#39;s goannas are present. Growling grass frogs and Yarra pygmy perch have been recorded.</p><br>
