<p>First Congregational United Church of Christ is a historic church at 700 Poyntz Avenue in Manhattan, Kansas.</p><br>
<p>On April 22, 1855, the Rev. Charles Blood conducted a worship service in the vicinity of the present church property. The sanctuary was a tent, a trunk served as the pulpit, and worshippers were seated on boxes and kegs. The text for the sermon was from the Acts of the Apostles: "Those who have turned the world upside down have come hither, also."</p><br>
<p>The Rev. Blood was an abolitionist preacher educated at Lane Theological Seminary, Cincinnati, Ohio, so the text was certainly appropriate. In subsequent months, services were held in the tent, then in a log cabin, in private homes, in a store building, and then in a new school building on Poyntz Avenue west of Ninth Street. Such was the beginning of the second Congregational church in the Kansas Territory.</p><br>
<p>On January 6, 1856, the fledgling church was officially established by the adoption of a constitution. There were 12 charter members. Soon after, talk of a building began. The Manhattan town companies gave three lots to the church for the erection of a building along with 40 additional lots to be sold to finance the building project.</p><br>
<p>In 1858, the original stone church was begun. Donors to its construction included Owen Lovejoy, Stephen A. Douglas, and Abraham Lincoln. The church was nearly finished in May 1859 when a tornado destroyed the roof, but repairs proceeded quickly. On July 24, 1859, the building was dedicated. The Rev. Richard Cordley of Plymouth Church, Lawrence, was the guest preacher, and Mrs. Blood wrote a hymn for the occasion titled "O Thou Glorious Sovereign Lord." The hymn was also used that same year at the laying of the cornerstone of Blue Mont Central College, which was the predecessor to Kansas State University.</p><br>
<p>Today, that first building still serves the congregation as Pioneer Hall. Weekly worship continues there, now in the Taizé tradition. It is the oldest Protestant church building in Kansas still in use by its original congregation.</p><br>
<p>There have been many additions to the original building over the years—notably the present Sanctuary constructed in 1904 and completely renovated in 2000, and a 1990 addition including new offices, meeting space, restrooms, and kitchen.</p><br>
<p>Commitment to Inclusion</p><br>
<p>In 2000 the congregation called an openly gay man as pastor (the first in the State of Kansas), in 2003 the congregation unanimously adopted an Open and Affirming Statement, and in 2014 it enthusiastically called the Rev. Caela Simmons Wood as Pastor, the first woman told hold that office in the congregation&#39;s history.</p><br>
<p>First Congregational UCC was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<p>Beecher Bible and Rifle Church is a historic church at the southeastern corner of Chapel and Elm Streets in Wabaunsee, Kansas. The church is named after Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, a financial backer for the town who helped smuggle rifles past pro-slavery forces in crates marked Beecher&#39;s Bibles.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The town of Wabaunsee was founded in 1855 by a group of about 70 New England emigrants from New Haven, Connecticut who established the Connecticut Kansas Colony, alternatively called the New Haven Colony or the Beecher Rifle Colony. The settlers were inspired by a sermon given by well-known abolitionist Henry Ward Beecher and Beecher gave money to help supply rifles for the men to defend themselves. The rifles were smuggled through pro-slavery areas in crates marked "Beechers Bibles," and consequently the rifles themselves became known as Beechers Bibles. Wabaunsee was staunchly anti-slavery and became part of the Underground Railroad in late 1856 and helped Lawrence after Quantrill&#39;s Raid.</p><br>
<p>In 1862 the Beecher Bible and Rifle Church was completed after four years of construction. The church was built of local limestone by church member Robert Banks, with contrasting stone accents. The overall style is described as Plains Vernacular. The structure is crowned by a gable roof and a wood bell tower. A central brick chimney vents wood stoves on the perimeter of the church, connecting to the chimney via metal stovepipes. The church is entered through a vestibule that provides access to the choir loft stairs. The main space was divided down the center into mens and womens sides.</p><br>
<p>The church building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.</p><br>
<p>Woodvale Historic District is a national historic district located at Broad Top Township, Bedford County; Wells Township, Fulton County; and Wood Township, Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania. The district includes 79 contributing buildings, 1 contributing site, and 2 contributing structures in the coal mining community of Woodvale. The buildings date between about 1890 and 1942, and include industrial buildings, institutional buildings, and vernacular workers housing. They were built by the Rockhill Iron and Coal Company. Non-residential buildings include the Methodist Church , St. Michaels Greek Orthodox Church , a social hall, a mule barn, power house, railroad machine shop , and post office .</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>Njupeskär is a waterfall in the river Njupån in Fulufjället National Park, Sweden. With a total height of about 93 meters, it is officially the highest waterfall in Sweden. Newer sources provide that the total height of waterfall is 125 m and the tallest plunge is 95 m high.</p><br>
<p>Njupeskär falls over the rim of eroded sandstone plateau of Fulufjället, waterfall has formed an impressive canyon. A few days per year, in early morning around midsummer, the sun shines on the waterfall.</p><br>
<h2>Controversy</h2><br>
<p>Njupeskär&#39;s status as the tallest waterfall in Sweden was questioned by author and photographer Claes Grundsten in 2014. In an article in the journal Turist published by Svenska Turistföreningen (Swedish Tourist Association), he noted that there are waterfalls far north in Sweden, little known to the general public, whose total drop far exceeds the drop of Njupeskär. Specifically, the twin falls Greven and Grevinnan in Stora Sjöfallet National Park are described. Both have drops of more than 250 m.</p><br>
<p>Mount Atago is a mountain on the border of the cities of Minamibōsō and Kamogawa in Chiba Prefecture, Japan with an altitude of 408.2 m. It is the highest point in Chiba Prefecture. Mount Atago is at the west of the Mineoka Mountain District of the Bōsō Hill Range. The kanji for Mount Atago, 愛 and 宕, mean love and cave respectively. The mountain is also known as Mineoka Atago-yama as several other hills and mountains share the same name in Japan, most notably Mount Atago in the Tamba Mountains to the northwest of Kyōto.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Mount Atago was located in the historical Awa Province, which occupied the southern tip of the Bōsō Peninsula. Minamoto no Yoritomo (1147–1199), founder and first shogun of the Kamakura Shogunate, visited Awa Province shortly before his return to Kyōto and the establishment of the shogunate. He visited Mount Atago, dedicated a Jizō Bosatsu statue at the summit of the mountain, and vowed to return to the area.</p><br>
<h2>JASDF Mineokayama Sub-Base</h2><br>
<p>Mount Atago is now home to the JASDF Mineokayama Sub-Base, an air defence radar installation of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF). The summit was confiscated by the United States Air Force in 1955, then later transferred to the JASDF. Construction on the radar facility began in 1978 and is considered to be strategically important to the defense of Japan. The mountain is also home to a triangulation station and the Atago Shrine.</p><br>
<h2>Hiking</h2><br>
<p>Mount Atago is open to the public only by permission of the JASDF. Hiking requires permission, at least a week in advance, from the JASDF Mineokayama Sub-Base. Permission is not always granted. Photography of the radar facility is not permitted. Access to the triangulation station is not allowed. The summit of Mount Atago is the highest in Japan not open to the public.</p><br>
<p>Cozad–Bates House, is the oldest and only surviving pre-Civil War structure in University Circle, Cleveland, Ohio, located at the Mayfield Road and East 115th Street intersection. It is historically known for its involvement in the Underground Railroad. abolitionist Andrew Cozad built the house in 1853 for his son Justus L. Cozad, who in 1872 added an Italianate front to the structure. Architecturally, it is a rare surviving example of Italianate-influenced residential architecture in America at that time, which includes a hipped roof, curved bay windows, paired eave brackets, and prominent belvedere. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 and designated as a Cleveland Landmark in 2006.</p><br>
<h2>Underground Railroad involvement</h2><br>
<p>After the opening of the Ohio and Erie Canal in the 1830s, Cleveland became a destination for fugitive slaves and the bondsmen who tracked them. Before the Civil War, slaves moved through Ohio&#39;s Underground Railroad network that extended two hundred and fifty miles from Ripley to Cleveland. Known by the secret code name "Hope," Cleveland became a destination for freedom seekers making their way north to Canada. Persons seeking freedom were often aided by abolitionists in University Circle, formerly a part of East Cleveland Township. The Cozad family owned a large portion of the land which is now occupied by University Circle.</p><br>
<h2>Restoration</h2><br>
<p>The nonprofit "Restore Cleveland Hope" is spearheading the effort to restore the house. On April 7, 2006, University Hospitals donated the house to University Circle, Inc, opening up the possibility for renovation.</p><br>
<p>In 2007 a historical marker was erected by University Circle, Inc. and the Ohio Historical Society. The marker is located at 41° 30.512′ N, 81° 36.185′ W.</p><br>
<p>The Cozad–Bates House&#39;s rehabilitation is currently being performed as a multi-phased endeavor. The initial steps included the replacement of the slate roof, guttering systems and construction repairs to the belvedere and chimneys. These repairs also included foundation and front porch restoration, and interior improvements. It was a four-month-long process costing $200,000, which was completed in August 2010. Funding was aided by state capital appropriation of $100,000 and donations by private donors.</p><br>
<p>The current price tag on the project is projected to be $3 million. The house currently sits vacant while additional rehabilitation efforts are being planned.</p><br>
<h2>Proposed future uses</h2><br>
<p>"Restore Cleveland Hope" goal is to establish an Underground Railroad Education and Resource Center, celebrating Cleveland&#39;s Underground Railroad history.</p><br>
<p>Another recent proposal calls for a bed and breakfast, in order to finish the restoration using private dollars</p><br>
<p>The Tracy-Causer Block is an historic commercial building located at 505-509 Fore Street in the Old Port commercial district of Portland, Maine. Built in 1866 as a mixed-used residential and commercial building, it is a rare surviving example of this type of building in the city. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Tracy-Causer Block is located at the northwest corner of Fore and Cotton Streets, an area known as Gorhams Corner, an historic intersection. It is a 2-1/2 story brick building, with a gabled roof and modest stylistic details. A beltcourse of rusticated stone separates the first and second floors on the south-facing front, with similar stone used for the window sills and lintels on the second floor. A beltcourse of projecting brick separates the second floor from a series of three-pane transom-style windows, which are set just below the cornice. Windows on the upper levels of the west side are set in segmented-arch openings. The ground floor main facade is organized into two storefronts, each with entrances separated by flanking display windows by brick piers, and a central entrance to the buildings upper floors.</p><br>
<p>The city of Portland was devastated by a major fire on July 4, 1866. This building was constructed in the wake of that fire by John Tracy and William Causer. It was built in the style of older commercial buildings, where the merchants typically lived above the store. This style was not emulated in much of the rebuilding that took place after the fire, with most commercial spaces dedicated exclusively to business use. This building is thus a rare example of a building that was more typical before the fire than after it.</p><br>
<p>The dependencies of Guadeloupe are three islands or island groups in the Leeward Islands chain which are administratively part of the neighboring French overseas department of Guadeloupe in the French Lesser Antilles. They are nearby island entities to the south and east of Guadeloupe island. Saint-Barthélemy and the French side of Saint-Martin were dependencies of Guadeloupe before they became autonomous. There are now three dependencies:</p><br>
<p>Îles des Saintes</p><br>
<p>Marie-Galante</p><br>
<p>La Désirade</p><br>
<p>In order to distinguish them from the former dependencies to the north (Saint-Barthélemy and Saint-Martin), they are known as the southern islands of Guadeloupe. The unofficial expressions Archipelago of Guadeloupe and Islands of Guadeloupe, which remain only an administrative reality, serve to differentiate the department of Guadeloupe (the French institutional entity including Guadeloupe island and its dependencies) and the two islands of Guadeloupe itself.</p><br>
<h2>Status and Administration</h2><br>
<p>From their incorporation into Guadeloupe, the dependencies benefit from their departmental status and are integrated under the terms of the French policy of assimilation into the French territory according to the 73rd article of the French Constitution. They are also integrated as ultra peripherals regions of the European Union.</p><br>
<p>According to the Constitution of the French Fifth Republic and the guidance law for overseas or Paul&#39;s Law (March 18, 2000) established by Congress, every dependency has the choice of upgrading to an overseas collectivity in the 74th article of the French Constitution and to free itself from the Guadeloupean administration if their elected representatives should make the request.</p><br>
<p>These islands are first divided into cantons, then subdivided into communes, including the two arrondissements and three of the four constituencies (circonscriptions in French) of the French overseas department of Guadeloupe. As Guadeloupe is an integral part of France, the inhabitants of the islands enjoy full French citizenship.</p><br>
<h2>Economic situation analysis</h2><br>
<p>In spite of an enormous tourist potential, the economies of the dependencies are not strong. The majority of tourists to Guadeloupe favor a one-day hike visit to the islands instead of a full stay. Only les Saintes, which welcomes cruise and yacht tourism, has independent tourism. The economies of the islands are mainly based on fishing, craft and tourism, each to different degrees on each dependency. Only Marie-Galante possesses an agricultural economy, by cultivating sugar cane and producing rum. This sector is particularly in crisis.</p><br>
<p>The departmental system freezes and causes the economic dynamism of the dependencies to run out of steam. The double insularity provoked by their incorporation into Guadeloupe slows down their development, which remain enclosed, in spite of the enforcement of the French law of territorial continuity. The absence of a training establishment, centralized in Guadeloupe island, the low rate of new business start-ups, the expensive living costs, and the heavy tax system increase the number of unemployed who are obliged to exodus towards Guadeloupe or France to find a job, causing the fast depopulation of these islands.</p><br>
<h2>Politics</h2><br>
<p>The current political system of the dependencies is strongly inclined towards Guadeloupean politics. On December 7, 2003, the dependencies in the department of Guadeloupe participated in a referendum on the institutional evolution of that French overseas department and rejected it by a majority voting "no".</p><br>
<p>During the 2009 French Caribbean general strikes, the supply of stores was badly perturbed, as in other places in Guadeloupe, but these strikes were mostly concerning small and medium enterprises (SMEs) (weakly presented on these islands), and maritime transport companies were forced to set aside some gas and oil to ensure most connections.</p><br>
<p>At the end of the conflict French president Nicolas Sarkozy declared the opening of the États-Généraux de l&#39;Outre-mer (literally, "Estates general of French overseas"). Several study groups were created among which one was concerning local governance, brought to conceive an institutional modification project or to declare a new status for Guadeloupe with or without the emancipation of its last dependencies. The conferences of the "southern islands" (Marie Galante, les Saintes and la Désirade) were opened in parallel. Problems common to these islands were exposed in six study groups: equality of opportunity, territorial continuity, local governance, local economic development and development of activity and tourism.</p><br>
<p>On May 12, 2009, the French overseas Minister, Yves Jégo, at the end of these conferences, came for an official visit to les Saintes for the seminary of the dependencies of Guadeloupe. He took into account the identical realities and the political hopes of these islands, to improve territorial continuity, to reduce effects of the double-insularity, abolition of Guadeloupean dependence, national representation, development of labor pool attractiveness, the fight against depopulation, the tax system, and the cost of living. He announced the signature of a contract, "COLIBRI" (Contract for the Employment and the Local Initiatives in the Regional Pond of the Southern Islands of Guadeloupe; literally "hummingbird"), a convention for the Grouping of Public Interest for Arrangement and Development (G.I.P.A.D) and a finalized proposition of statutory evolution., Guadeloupe, showing the central plateau of La Désirade.</p><br>
<p>Les Saintes, like Marie-Galante, aspires for the creation of overseas collectivities for each entity of the southern islands or one which encompasses the three dependencies, similar to the reorganization of the former northern islands of Guadeloupe (Saint-Barthélemy and Saint-Martin). Nevertheless, Marie-Luce Penchard, the current French minister for overseas territories, has not pressed the issue.</p><br>
<p>The Bōsō Hill Range is a mountain range on the Bōsō Peninsula of Chiba Prefecture, Japan. The highest point in the Bōsō Mountain Range is at Mount Atago, with an altitude of 408.2 m. The hill range runs from roughly in a line from Mobara or Ōamishirasato to Kisarazu, but is not formally defined. It is an important part of the Minami Bōsō Quasi-National Park.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The Bōsō Hill Range is still extensively wooded. The area from the Yōrō Ravine to Mount Seichō is noted for its forests of live oak. The hill range also has noted forests of oaks, chestnut, Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria), and various species of evergreen. The hill area around Tateyama is noted for its forests of castanopsis trees, a genus of evergreens belonging to the beech family.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Premodern history</h3><br>
<p>The Bōsō Hill Range was settled from the earliest periods of Japanese history. The Yōrō Ravine in present-day Ōtaki, Chiba is home to Jōmon period remains. Kofun tumuli were built across the entire hill range in the Kofun period, but Futtsu and Ichihara have especially rich examples of tumuli. Under the Taika Reform of 645, during the Asuka period, the hill range became part of three provinces, Shimōsa Province to the north, Kazusa Province in the middle part of the range, and Awa Province to the south. The hill range is noted for its richness of castles built during the Sengoku period as part of medieval conflicts.</p><br>
<h3>Modern history</h3><br>
<p>The provinces endured until Chiba Prefecture was established at the end of the 19th century in the Meiji period. The Bōsō Hill Range provided a natural fortification against air attack of Tokyo during World War II, when the 252 Air Group of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) built the Mobara Air Field in 1941 in Mobara. After the war land reform was carried out in the region. The eastern part of the hill range saw major economic development as part of the greater Metropolitan Tokyo region.</p><br>
<h2>Economy</h2><br>
<p>The hill range was known for charcoal production in the past. The hill range is still home to many dairy farms. Numerous golf courses were developed in the hill region, and recreational facilities continue to be developed in the area. The hill range is popular as a hiking destination.</p><br>

<p>Colerain Forges Mansion is a historic home located at Franklin Township in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania. It was built in four stages between the late-18th century and mid- to late-19th century. It appears as a two-story, five bay, "T"-shaped dwelling with a one-story, full-length porch in the Federal style. The oldest section is the two-story, plastered midsection. The frame portion to the east dates to the 1830s, and the brick section to the west to the 1840s. The rear section dates to the 1860s-1870s, and is a two-story board-and-batten structure. Also on the property is a 2 1/2-story, gable roofed stone outbuilding and a small board-and-batten shed. The house was built as the ironmaster&#39;s mansion at Colerain Forge.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Bohemian Commercial Historic District, also known as New Bohemia, is located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. Bohemian immigrants began settling in Cedar Rapids in the 1850s, and increasingly after the American Civil War in the 1860s and the Prussian War in Austria in 1880. They grew to be the largest ethnic group in the city, and the only one to settle in a distinct part of Cedar Rapids. They settled along the Cedar River between the downtown area and the T.M. Sinclair and Company meat packing plant. The buildings in the district were constructed between the 1880s and the 1930s. They are largely narrow-front commercial buildings and corner blocks. The buildings housed a variety of commercial establishments: a movie theater, two banks, and several filling stations. It also includes a railroad corridor factory building, a fire station, and fraternal halls. The buildings are representative of various commercial architectural styles and vernacular building forms popular at the times they were built. The Lesinger Block  and the C.S.P.S. Hall  are individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Ballyfinboy River rises close to Moneygall in County Offaly, Ireland and flows in a generally northwesterly direction into Lough Derg at Drominagh. It forms part of the boundary between County Tipperary and County Offaly.</p><br>
<p>The river flows through the towns of Cloughjordan and Borrisokane west of which it flows past Ballyfinboy Castle, a ruined tower house with a Sheela na gig in the townland of Ballyfinboy.</p><br>

The building is one of the city&#39;s architecturally finest surviving commercial structures of the 1920s, designed by a prominent firm.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>Wilson Reef is a small  coral reef within the Great Barrier Reef complex of Queensland, Australia. It lies about 30 km north of Cape Melville on the Cape York Peninsula in the habitat protection zone of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. It has some unnamed sand cays which are used by seabirds but no significant islands. It is named after Peter Wilson, a New Zealander whose ship crashed on the reef in 1927.</p><br>
<h2>Birds</h2><br>
<p>The reef has been identified as an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because it has supported over 1% of the world population of brown boobies (with up to 1400 nests) and about 10,000 pairs of sooty terns. Up to 6000 pairs of common noddies have also been recorded nesting on the reef.</p><br>
<p>The Wilsons Promontory Islands Important Bird Area comprises a loose cluster of 19 small, granite islands, with a collective area of 658 ha, scattered around Wilsons Promontory in the state of Victoria, south-eastern Australia. The three southernmost islands are part of the state of Tasmania. They are important for their breeding seabirds.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The 16 islands under Victorian jurisdiction are Shellback, Norman, Great Glennie, Dannevig, Citadel and McHugh (all of which are part of Wilsons Promontory Marine Park); Cleft, Kanowna, Anser and Wattle (all within Wilsons Promontory Marine National Park); Rabbit, Rag, Cliffy, Seal and Notch Islands, and Rabbit Rock. The three islands under Tasmanian jurisdiction are Rodondo and West Moncoeur (both of which are nature reserves), and East Moncoeur. The islands’ vegetation consists mainly of shrubland and tussock grassland.</p><br>
<h2>Birds</h2><br>
<p>The islands have been identified as an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because they support over 1% of the world populations of short-tailed shearwaters (with over 1.4 million nesting burrows), Pacific gulls (with about 450 breeding pairs) and, possibly, of black-faced cormorants. The IBA also supports a large population of fairy prions.</p><br>
<p>Alamo Solo Spring,  a spring directly east of the Dagany Gap in the Pyramid Hills of Kern County, California. Its location appears on a 1914 USGS Topographic map of Lost Hills.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Before the advent of the Spanish, Alamo Solo Spring was the site of a large Indian village covering about 100 acres. Alamo Solo Spring was considered one of the most reliable watering places on the route of El Camino Viejo in the San Joaquin Valley between Arroyo de las Garzas and Aguaje de la Brea. At Alamo Solo Spring the route of El Camino Viejo split, the main route continuing north to Arroyo de las Garzas and beyond and the other turned onto the eastern route of the Old Road that passed to the east at Alamo Mocho and on to follow the shore of Tulare Lake, proceeding northward across the Kings River to settlements on the Fresno Slough and San Joaquin River before it turned back to rejoin the main route at Arroyo de Panoche Grande.</p><br>
<p>The Horseshoe Lake Ranger Station in Lassen Volcanic National Park, California is a backcountry ranger station that was built by Civilian Conservation Corps labor in 1934. The cabin typifies National Park Service standard designs for such structures in the prevailing National Park Service Rustic style then used by the Park Service. It is the only such example of a standard-plan backcountry ranger station in Lassen Volcanic National Park. There were originally two structures at the site, the residence, and a now-vanished barn.</p><br>
<p>The rectangular ranger station is a log structure measuring about 33 ft by 23 ft, extended by front and back porches. The front porch is a gabled structure supported by peeled-log posts. The back porch has no roof. Split-pole chinking is used throughout. The interior comprises a large living room measuring 20 ft by 13 ft, a kitchen and a bedroom. A former enclosed porch functions as a storeroom. An attic is used for storage, and floors are oiled wood. The living room and bedroom feature a stone fireplace.</p><br>
<p>Construction of what was then called the Horseshoe Lake Fireguard Station and Barn started in 1934 and was completed on October 22 of that year, to Park Service plan #3032. The Park Service designed an elaborately rustic barn for this location, but a more utilitarian barn was actually built.</p><br>
<p>The Horseshoe Lake Ranger Station was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 5, 1978.</p><br>
<p>Greywalls is an Edwardian country house at Gullane in East Lothian, Scotland. It was built in 1901 for Alfred Lyttelton, to designs by Sir Edwin Lutyens. It has been run as a hotel since 1948. Greywalls is protected as a category A listed building, and the grounds are included on the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland, the national listing of significant gardens.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Hon. Alfred Lyttelton (1857–1913) served as a Member of Parliament from 1895 to 1913, holding office as Colonial Secretary from 1903 to 1905. He was also a talented sportsman, having previously played on the English national cricket and football teams. A keen golfer, in 1901 he commissioned the architect Edwin Lutyens to design a holiday home on a site adjacent to Muirfield golf course on the East Lothian coast. Originally known as High Walls, the house was designed in Lutyens&#39; Arts and Crafts style. Lutyens also laid out the gardens, possibly with the assistance of Gertrude Jekyll.</p><br>
<p>In 1905 the house was sold by Lyttelton to Evelyn Forbes, the Scots socialite wife of American railroad magnate William Dodge James. She commissioned Lutyens to add three lodges in 1905, and in 1911 had an extension built by Sir Robert Lorimer. The Jameses entertained Edward VII at the house. It was leased after the First World War, and in 1924 it was purchased by Sir James Horlick, founder of Horlicks Ltd. Horlick developed a plant collection at another of his properties, Achamore House in Argyll, but only visited Greywalls annually.</p><br>
<p>The house was requisitioned during the Second World War for use as a hospital. Horlick left the property to his daughter Ursula and her husband Colonel John Weaver, and in 1948 they converted the house into a hotel. Several extensions have since been added, and the Weaver family continue to manage the property. The hotel restaurant, Chez Roux, is run by French chef Albert Roux.</p><br>
<p>The Hebard–Ford Summer House is a private house located north of L&#39;Anse, Michigan in Pequaming, Michigan. It is also known as the Ford Bungalow. The house was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1979 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>

<p>In 1878, lumber baron Charles Hebard founded the logging town of Pequaming nine miles north of L&#39;Anse on the shore of Lake Superior. It was the first large-scale lumbering operation in the Upper Peninsula. Hebard built and owned all the buildings in the town, including approximately 100 houses built for workers. The population of Pequaming peaked at around 800 in 1897. Charles Hebard died in 1904, passing his lumber business and the town of Pequaming to his sons, Daniel and Charles.</p><br>
<p>In 1914, Daniel Hebard built this lodge as his periodic residence. In 1923, the brothers sold the operation to Henry Ford; although Ford was primarily interested in the Hebards 40,000 acres of timber, the brothers insisted he buy the sawmill and the town at the same time. Ford used the town to produce wooden pieces for the frames and bodies of Ford stationwagons. Henry Ford took over Daniel Hebards lodge for his own personal use, and summered here from 1923 to 1941.</p><br>
<p>However, Fords need for lumber dropped during the Great Depression, and shipping problems during World War II spelled the end for Pequamings mill. Ford shut the plant down in 1942; with the loss of jobs, most families soon left the town.</p><br>
<p>The Hebard–Ford house is currently privately owned, but available as a vacation rental.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Hebard–Ford house is a rectangular, two-story lodge built in the Bungaloid style. It is of frame construction, covered with white clapboards, with a low gable roof with long shed dormers. A veranda is contained under the roofline, which is supported with seven cement pillars. The main floor has double hung, six-over-six paned windows with dark trim, and two sets of French doors open onto the veranda. Inside are eight bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a large living room, a dining room, and an office. Outside was a caretaker’s residence, a formal garden and a tennis court.</p><br>
<p>The house reflects a gracious style of living that rich industrialists valued in northern Michigan vacation lodges.</p><br>
<p>The Champlain Apartment Building, also known as the Orme Building, is an historic structure located at 1424 K St., Northwest, Washington, D.C. in the Downtown neighborhood.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building was designed by architect Clinton Smith and constructed in 1905. A real estate venture of Senator Redfield Proctor of Vermont (who was also the president of the Vermont Marble Company), it features a white marble Beaux-Arts Classical façade. The building exemplifies the importance of elected officials on Washington’s design and the significance of private construction in implementing the City Beautiful movement in Washington. Converted into an office building, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<p>Lewis Smalley Homestead, also known as Lewisburg-Sycamores, is a historic home located on a property along Route 103 at the mouth of the Aughwick Creek where it meets the Juniata River in Shirley Township in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania. It was built about 1794, and is a 2 1/2-story stone building, three-bays wide and measuring 30 feet by 25 feet. It has a tin-covered gable roof and was made of sandstone taken from the river. The house retains the original woodwork, doors, hardware and unfinished chestnut flooring, as well as three original stone fireplaces. Also on the property is a stone bank barn, measuring 45 feet by 90 feet. Original hardware from the local blacksmith survives in the barn. One hinge still bears the blacksmith&#39;s mark.</p><br>
<p>During the last week of June 1863, during the Civil War and just prior to the battle of Gettysburg, the property was used as part of a Union garrison –- a contingent of more than 1500 troops stationed at various locations around Mount Union. Its purpose was to guard the road, valley, and bridge to prevent the possible capture and destruction of the Pennsylvania railroad by Confederate troops. In the barn, where the garrison&#39;s horses were stabled, soldiers carved their names, initials, and dates in door jambs and barn beams. The carvings are still visible. The farm was occupied by the William Hainey Briggs family during the time of the Union encampment.</p><br>
<p>The original 540-acre property passed intact within the Smalley family until about 1957 when the last descendent sold it. An interim owner, Tuscarora Land Company, subdivided the original acrege in 1975. The Smalley residence now occupies 28 acres.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>Benjamin B. Leas House, also known as Shirleysburg Female Seminary, Fort Shirley Site, and "The Rock," is a historic home located at Shirleysburg in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1850, and is a 2 1/2-story, rectangular red brick building, five-bays wide and measuring 41 feet by 32 feet. It has a rear kitchen / servant&#39;s quarters wing. The house is in the Greek Revival style. The house was built on the site of Fort Shirley, originally built in 1755. The house was used for a seminary from 1855 to 1866, as a rest-home for members of the German Baptist Church from 1885 to 1893, then housed the Shirleysburg Female Seminary until about 1903.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>The Loomis Museum, also known as the Loomis Visitor Center, the Manzanita Lake Visitor Center and the Manzanita Lake Museum, was built by Benjamin Franklin Loomis in 1927 near Manzanita Lake, just outside Lassen Volcanic National Park in California, USA. Loomis was a local homesteader and photographer who documented the 1915 eruptions of Lassen Peak, and was instrumental in the 1916 establishment of the national park. In 1929 Loomis donated the museum and 40 acre of surrounding lands to the National Park Service, which since then has used the structure as an interpretational facility.</p><br>
<p>Loomis had desired that the headquarters of the new park be established at Manzanita Lake, but an alternate site was chosen by the Park Service. Loomis and his wife Estella started building their own museum to exhibit photographs taken by Loomis and others, as well as geological exhibits and artifacts of local Native Americans. The building was dedicated on July 4, 1927 as the Mae Loomis Memorial Museum, named after their only child, Luisa Mae Loomis, who had died in 1920.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Loomis Museum is a one-story rectangular building built of local volcanic rock in cut-face random ashlar coursing. The main body of the museum is about 25 ft by 60 ft, with small extensions to either side at the rear, making the building T-shaped in plan. The building is characterized by its prominent crenelated stepped parapets. Contrasting with the rustic character of the stonework, the main entrance features formal sidelights and a fanlight. A small bracketed shed roof shelters the entrance, and the side elevations have similar shed projections down their length., all roofed with green tile. The interior is primarily composed of a single large room.</p><br>
<p>About 45 ft to the northeast of the museum stands a seismograph building of similar design, measuring about 10 ft by 12 ft. The station was built by the Loomises in 1926. It features three large windows that allow visitors to view the seismographic equipment within.</p><br>
<p>Described in 1952 as "ugly quasi-Spanish", the Loomis Museum was briefly considered for demolition and replacement during the Mission 66 program. The museum and seismograph station were placed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 25, 1975. The museum was renovated in 1994, the seismograph building in 1995. It is now used as a visitor contact center by the Park Service. The museum and seismograph building are also part of the Manzanita Lake Naturalist&#39;s Services Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The Sand Point Site  is an archaeological site located near Baraga, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<p>Sand Point is a Late Woodland period archaeological site, containing the remains of a village and 12 burial mounds spread out over 19.5 acre. It is believed to have been occupied approximately 1100-1400 AD, and contains a diverse series of artifacts, including Juntunen style and Ramey-incised ceramics, suggesting a wide trade network. Debris at the site indicates a subsistence culture surviving on small mammals, fish, berries, and acorns.</p><br>
<p>The site was rediscovered in 1968, when a private developer began a planned lakeshore redevelopment and turned up human bones. In 1970, researchers from Western Michigan University began excavations at the site, and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<p>The George P. Lent Investment Properties, also known as Firehouse Row, in southeast Portland in the USA state of Oregon, consists of a group of five similar 1.5-story, single-family houses listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1893, the group was added to the register in 1989. The Queen Anne style houses are next to one another at the corner of Southeast 7th Avenue and Southeast Harrison Streets. They are commonly referred to as Firehouse Row because firemen from the adjacent Portland Fire Station No. 23 sometimes lived in them.</p><br>
<p>Constructed during the period of rapid growth that followed East Portlands annexation by Portland in 1891, the buildings are among the few Victorian-era homes remaining in the citys Hosford&ndash;Abernethy neighborhood. Each is about 20 ft wide and 40 ft long. George P. Lent, for whom the city&#39;s Lents neighborhood is named, was the original owner of the rental properties. He sold them two years later, and they subsequently changed hands many times. Among the early tenants of the house at 1921 Southeast 7th Avenue was Lee G. Holden, who designed firehouses, including the one next door.</p><br>
<p>The Manzanita Lake Naturalists Services Historic District encompasses the historic area devoted to visitor interpretation services at the northwest entrance of Lassen Volcanic National Park. The districts earliest structures were built by Benjamin and Estella Loomis, who were instrumental in the establishment of the park and among the park&#39;s first concessioners. The 1927 Loomis Museum and its seismograph hut were built by the Loomises and were donated, together with 40 acre of land to the National Park Service in 1929. The Loomis House, also known as the Loomis Art House and Manzanita Lake Ranger Station, was built about the same time as the museum and served as their residence, photography studio and shop until the 1950s under the name "B.F. Loomis Photo and Art Store".</p><br>
<p>Park Service structures were developed at Manzanita Lake in the 1930s. Park Service-designed and constructed buildings include the entrance station (1930), the ranger residence (1931) and the comfort station (1931). The naturalist&#39;s residence (1933) shares a similar design to its counterparts at Crater Lake National Park, with their design and construction techniques adapted to the short building seasons prevalent at both parks. The residence was built using Civilian Conservation Corps labor.</p><br>
<p>The area was abandoned in 1973 after a geological report indicated that a rockfall in the Chaos Crags could reach the Manzanita Lake area in 90 seconds. The Manzanita Lodge and cabins were therefore closed and demolished. In 1987 a reassessment indicated that such a rockfall could not reach Manzanita Lake and the area was reoccupied and renovated. The lodge was never rebuilt. The Manzanita Lake Naturalist&#39;s Services Historic District was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 23, 2006.</p><br>

<p>The Rembert Mounds  is an archaeological site in Elbert County, Georgia in the area that is now under the Clark Hill Reservoir on the Savannah River. The last excavation of the site occurred just before the reservoir was built; Joe Caldwell and Carl F. Miller conducted the excavation during a three-week period between January 12 and June 1, 1948. However, they are not the first people to examine the site. William Bartram first described the mounds in 1773 as: “an imposing group of one large and several smaller mounds standing adjacent to some extensive structures.” In 1848, George White claimed “the smaller mounds had been nearly destroyed.” Then, Charles C. Jones, Jr. stated that “only traces of the smaller mounds remained and the tetragon terraces were no more than gentle elevations.” Less than 10 years later, in 1886, John P. Rogan excavated part of the site under Cyrus Thomas and found only the largest mound and one of the smaller mounds still standing. Rogans excavation was the last before Caldwell and Millers excavation in 1948. However, there was a that almost completely destroyed the large mound.</p><br>
<p>Caldwell and Miller excavated five test pits in and around the large mound and six pits in the adjacent village area. The excavations yielded animal remains and pottery sherds; it also provided good cross sections of strata. Most of the decorated pottery was classified as Lamar Complicated Stamped Pottery, which dates from A.D. 1450 to A.D. 1650. These findings suggest that the mound and village were mainly occupied during one period. However, other pottery sherds indicate sporadic occupation in earlier times. Other pottery found at the site includes Lamar Plain Pottery and Lamar Bold Incised Pottery; both of these pottery types were made at the same time as Lamar Complicated Stamped Pottery. There is far more undecorated, or Lamar Plain, pottery at the site then is usually present at similar sites dating to the same period.</p><br>
<p>Caldwell reported the dimensions of the large mound in 1948 as being 118 by 35 ft and 4 ft high. In contrast, in 1773 Bartram estimated the dimensions of the mound as 40 or 50 ft high with the base having a circumference of 200 or 300 yards. Caldwell also noted that the mound, which was within 130 feet of the river, sustained damage as result of its proximity to the river; the mound had been washed out in places along the edges. Caldwell and Miller agree with earlier descriptions that the large mound was a circular, flat-topped mound. In the 1886 excavation, Thomas reported that the small mound was 58 ft long, 41 ft wide, and 6 ft high. Caldwell also agrees with earlier assertions that the Rembert Mounds were surrounded by a fair size village, although there was very little surface evidence at the time of the excavation in 1948.</p><br>
<p>The John Jacob Astor Hotel, originally known as the Hotel Astoria, is a historic former hotel building located in Astoria, Oregon, United States, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places . It is one of the tallest buildings on the Oregon Coast and is a "prominent landmark" in Astoria. and sat vacant for several years until 1984, when work to renovate it and convert it for apartments began. It reopened as an apartment building in 1986, with the lowermost two floors reserved for commercial use. The building was listed on the NRHP in 1979. The world&#39;s first cable television system was set up in 1948 using an antenna on the roof of the Hotel Astoria.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Construction began in November 1922 and was completed in late 1923, and the Hotel Astoria opened for business on January 1, 1924. At the start of construction, the plans called for the hotel to be five stories tall, but only a month later, The resulting severe shortage of housing prompted the Columbia Hotel Company to revise the design to increase the planned height to eight stories. It was eclipsed by the nine-story, 110 ft Marshfield Hotel (now the Tioga Hotel), in Coos Bay, in 1926, when construction of that buildings overall structure neared completion. However, work on the Marshfield was soon suspended, and the building stood vacant (its uppermost stories a windowless shell) until the late 1940s, when it was finally completed and opened for use for the first time, as the Tioga Hotel. Until the Tioga Hotels opening in 1948, the Hotel Astoria remained the tallest commercial structure in use on the Oregon Coast.</p><br>
<p>The building has an L-shaped footprint. On its most prominent side, the west façade, it extends the full length of the block on 14th Street between Commercial and Duane streets. It is nearly as wide on its north side, along Commercial Street, but less than half as wide on its south and east sides. The original exterior color was mainly white, with gray on the first two floors.</p><br>
<p>In its early years, the hotel was "the hub of the city&#39;s business dealings and social activities". In addition to 150 rooms for guests, the building included ten residential apartments on its top floor. The local chamber of commerce had its office in the hotel, and the basement included show space for salesmen. The hotel hosted many conventions, and several community groups used it as their regular meeting place. However, the hotel began to struggle financially within just a few years. It was beset with a variety of problems, involving "prohibition agents, liquor control officers, labor troubles and military police. The Army declared the area off-limits, and the Navy proclaimed it out-of-bounds," The Daily Astorian wrote in a 2011 retrospective article. The completion of the Sunset Highway in 1949 contributed to the decline in business, as it gave Portlanders a second route to the Oregon Coast, one not passing through Astoria. From the 1930s on, ownership of the hotel changed hands several times.</p><br>
<p>In late 1951, the Hotel Astoria was renamed the John Jacob Astor Hotel, in honor of the city&#39;s namesake, John Jacob Astor. The landmark building was repainted pink. However, a postwar decline in business continued, and other problems persisted. In 1961, the Astoria Fire Department found 51 code violations, six of them major, but all of the violations remained uncorrected seven years later. The restaurant and "Fur Trader Lounge" bar were closed by the Internal Revenue Service in early 1968 for failure to pay taxes.</p><br>
<h3>Closure and long vacancy</h3><br>
<p>In 1968, city officials condemned the building, declaring it a public nuisance and a fire hazard, and ordered it vacated. The Clatsop County government took ownership in 1978 through tax foreclosure and sold the building at auction in early 1979. At the end of an eight-year period as Astoria&#39;s mayor, Bob Chopping had given up hope of saving the hotel, telling a reporter in early 1983 that, "Citizens must have realized after all these years, chances of renovation is nil."</p><br>
<h3>Conversion to apartments</h3><br>
<p>In late 1984, a plan was approved in which private investors would convert the former hotel into 70 apartments for low-income residents on the six upper floors and commercial space on the first two floors.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The Hotel Astoria (later John Jacob Astor Hotel) was designed by architects Tourtellotte & Hummel, who were based in Portland from 1922 to 1930 and who, after the Astoria project, designed two other hotels that are now NRHP-listed: the Lithia Springs Hotel (Ashland, Oregon) and the Redwoods Hotel (Grants Pass, Oregon). Constructed of reinforced concrete, the eight-story John Jacob Astor Hotel building features Gothic decorative elements. The seventh floor is decorated with several escutcheons, one every third window, and the window groups at the building&#39;s corners at this level are additionally topped by rounded arches "embellished with elaborate cartouches in cast stone". Each group of three windows at the mezzanine level, or second floor, includes two Corinthian pilasters and is topped by a pointed arch and a frieze with three small shields above. The lobby is two stories high at its center and includes numerous Corinthian columns. It originally included a large fireplace and "an elegant wrought-iron chandelier with parchment shades over electric candles".</p><br>
<h2>Cable television birthplace</h2><br>
<p>The former hotel has been called the "birthplace of cable television". invented by L. E. "Ed" Parsons, then owner of Astoria radio station KAST. Ed Parsons set up the first USA cable television system to use coaxial cable and a community antenna to deliver TV signals to an area that otherwise would not have been able to receive broadcast TV signals. The first television station in the Pacific Northwest was inaugurated in November 1948 by Seattle radio station KRSC, now KING-TV. Astoria being about 125 mi from Seattle, Parsons "was unable to get a picture in his apartment, even with a high antenna". The set-up worked, and Parsons and his wife were the only people in Astoria able to view television, starting on Thanksgiving Day 1948. "Reception was not of a quality that would be saleable today," Parsons told The Oregonian in 1972, "but we received a picture and started attracting guests." The couple quickly became overwhelmed by requests from friends and neighbors eager to pay them a visit to experience the new medium. To appease them, Parsons laid a second cable to a TV set in the hotel&#39;s lobby, and by the end of December a nearby music store was the third hook-up. Parsons then began setting up cable television connections to area households, with 25 receiving the service by mid-March 1949 and 100 by July. Some time later, Parsons moved his community antenna from the roof of the Hotel Astoria to a separate location elsewhere in town and also added a second antenna site.</p><br>
<p>The Old Astoria City Hall, now known as the Clatsop County Historical Society Heritage Museum, is a historic building located in Astoria, Oregon, United States listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The building served as the city hall of Astoria from 1905 until 1939. It was the first location of the Columbia River Maritime Museum, from 1963 to 1982, and has been the Heritage Museum since 1985.</p><br>
<h2>History as city hall</h2><br>
<p>The first Astoria city hall was designed and built in 1878 by Albert W. Ferguson. His sons firm of Ferguson & Houston also built the second building, located at 16th and Exchange streets, but the buildings design was by Emil Schacht. The new building would be larger than its predecessor, as well as more modern. Construction began in 1904 and was completed in June 1905. The second Astoria City Hall was formally dedicated on July 4, 1905. All city offices, as well as the city library, were located in the new building.</p><br>
<p>In the 1930s, it was decided to move city hall to a location in downtown, as the location at 16th and Exchange streets was rather isolated; the original, 1878 city hall had also been located in downtown Astoria.</p><br>
<p>The city used a Public Works Administration grant to fund the conversion of a former bank building on Duane Street into a New City Hall. The city offices were moved out of the Old Astoria City Hall on Exchange Street, into the new premises, at the end of March 1939.</p><br>
<h2>Later use</h2><br>
<p>Since the end of its function as city hall, the two-story building has been put to various other uses. In the 1940s, the city allowed the State of Oregon to use it as an annex to an armory built at that time and located just to the east. Later, the USAO. used the building as its local headquarters. It moved out in 1960, leaving the building vacant.</p><br>
<p>In 1963, the building was turned into the first Columbia River Maritime Museum, which opened in August of that year. It served this purpose for almost 20 years, until that museum moved to a new location on the riverfront, in 1982. To avoid confusion with the existing Astoria City Hall, the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department identifies the building as "Astoria City Hall (Old)" in its list of registered historic properties in Oregon.</p><br>
<p>In 1980, members of the Clatsop County Historical Society voted to purchase the Old City Hall and renovate it for use as a museum. The purchase was completed in 1985, opened in 1985. Interior renovation and exterior restoration were carried out in 1987–88, funded by private grants and donations.</p><br>
<p>Pennsylvania Canal Guard Lock and Feeder Dam, Raystown Branch, also known as the Raystown Branch Feeder Canal, is a historic canal structure located at Henderson Township in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania. The property includes the remains of a guard lock and feeder dam. The guard lock was built in 1831, and the remains consist of two 90-foot long parallel walls, 8-feet high and 15-feet apart. The remains of the feeder dam consist of stone and earth remnants of a dam that once stretched across the Juniata River. The lock and dam were built to allow boats built on Standing Stone Creek to enter the Pennsylvania Canal. The lock and dam were abandoned with the rest of the Pennsylvania Canal in the 1870s.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>Huntingdon Furnace is a national historic district and historic iron furnace and associated buildings located at Franklin Township in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania. It consists of seven contributing buildings and one contributing structure. They are the iron furnace, office building, the ironmasters mansion, log workers house, a residence, the farm managers residence, the grist mill and the millers house. The iron furnace was moved to this site in 1805, from its original site one mile upstream. It measures 30 feet square by 30 feet high. The ironmaster&#39;s mansion was built in 1851, and is a 2 1/2-story, "L"-shaped frame dwelling. The grist mill dates to 1808, and is a 3 1/2-story, rubble stone building measuring 50 feet by 45 feet. The furnace was in operation from 1796, until it ceased operations in the 1880s.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Ford Warehouse, also known as the Simon Brothers Building, is located at 1024 Dodge Street in Downtown Omaha, Nebraska. It is a six-story brick and stone building constructed in 1919 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. It is located near the Omaha Rail and Commerce Historic District and the site of the former Jobbers Canyon Historic District, and is three blocks from the Old Market Historic District. Additionally, the building is also in accordance with the patterns for significance detailed in the Warehouses in Omaha Multiple Property Submission.</p><br>
<h2>About</h2><br>
<p>The building functioned as a multi-use facility leasing space to a variety of other commercial tenants, including the B.F. Goodrich Rubber Company, United Food Stores, Inc., Warren Oil Company, Ford Brothers Van and Storage Company, and Gooches Food Products</p><br>
<p>Company. It was the Ford Brothers Van and Storage Company that the building became known for.</p><br>
<p>The River Ceiriog  is an 18 mi long river in north east Wales. It is a tributary of the River Dee. It rises at an altitude of around 1,800 ft on the south east slopes of Moel Fferna in the Berwyn Mountains, and flows through the Ceiriog Valley in Wrexham County Borough. It flows below Chirk Castle and the town of Chirk, where the Chirk Aqueduct carries the Llangollen Canal over the river. The Ceiriog joins the Dee east of the town. In its lower reaches the river forms the border between Wales and Shropshire in England. Home to a Trout fishing club, the river and its valley were described by British Prime Minister David Lloyd George as "a little bit of heaven on earth". As well as being a home to trout the first grayling to be artificially reared in Wales were released into the river in 2009.</p><br>
<p>Due to its steep gradient and juvenile nature the river can be wild at times and has been named as the fastest flowing in Wales. On 16 July 2013, a 21-year-old man was found drowned on a stretch of the river near where it meets the Dee. The Environment Agency monitors the river levels at the estate of Brynkinalt. The mean level of the river here is between 0.17 m and 0.73 m and depths of up to 1.66 m have been recorded. As it nears its end the river can get significantly deeper.</p><br>
<p>The Zeba Indian United Methodist Church is a religious building located at 227 Front Street  in Zeba, Michigan, northeast of LAnse. It marks the site of the Kewawenon Mission, built in 1832, which was the birthplace of Indian Methodism in the western Upper Peninsula, and predated Frederic Baragas mission at Assinins by 11 years. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 and designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Methodist missionaries arrived in this area, via Sault Ste Marie, in the first half of the 19th century. One of the earliest was John Sunday, a Chippewa pastor, who came to this site in 1832 and erected a log mission house. Reverend John Clark followed in 1834 and built a school and mission house. A number of other Methodist missionaries were assigned to what was then called the Kewawenon Mission, including Daniel Meeker Chandler, W.H. Brockway, George King, John Kahbeege, Peter Marksman, and John H. Pitezel. By 1845, the mission included a farm and church with over 60 members, the large majority of whom were Indian.</p><br>
<p>A second church was built in 1850, and was dedicated by John H. Pitezel, who had served at Kewawenon from 1844 to 1847. funded by donations from non-church members. This building remains on the site.</p><br>
<p>Now known as the Zeba United Indian Methodist Church, the site has been in continuous operation since 1832, and represents one of the oldest and most successful integration of Christian and Native American religious traditions.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Zeba Indian United Methodist Church is a vernacular Gothic Revival building, built of wood in a rectangular plan. The front facade is asymmetric, with double colored glass windows on one side and an offset square tower holding the entrance doors on the other. The facade also includes a small gable peak window and a triangular window above the entry doors. Memorial windows line each side of the church and a large rosette window is in the rear. The polygonal steeple has Gothic slits in the belfry and a wrought iron top. The exterior is sided with the original handmade wooden shingles, arranged in linear patterns.</p><br>
<p>The Little Egypt site  was an archaeological site located in Murray County, Georgia, near the junction of the Coosawattee River and Talking Rock Creek. The site originally had three platform mounds surrounding a plaza and a large village area. It was destroyed during the construction of the Dam of Carters Lake in 1972. It was situated between the Ridge and Valley and Piedmont sections of the state in a flood plain. Using Mississippian culture pottery found at the site archaeologists dated the site to the Middle and Late South Appalachinian Mississippian culture  habitation from 1300 to 1600 CE during the Dallas, Lamar, and Mouse Creek phases.</p><br>
<h2>Site description</h2><br>
<p>The site lay on a stretch of the Coosawattee River. It was a large village about 12.5 acre with three platform mounds and a plaza. Two of the mounds were over 2.5 m in height. The main mound was built up in four stages over the course of many years. Each stage may have represented the inter-generational change from a chief to his successor. Sometime around 1475 CE the site became the capital of a paramount chiefdom ruling over numerous other local villages.</p><br>
<h2>Coosa capital</h2><br>
<p>The Coosa chiefdom encountered by the Hernando de Soto expedition had its capital at the Little Egypt site. De Soto and his expedition entered the Coosa chiefdom in 1540. Chroniclers recorded that the chiefdom then consisted of eight villages. Archaeologists have identified the remains of seven of these. The population of the Coosa chiefdom is thought to have been between about 2,500 to 4,650 people. The chief of Coosa ruled over a significantly wider confederation of other chiefdoms, whose territory spread 400 miles along the Appalachian Mountains across northern Georgia into eastern Tennessee and central Alabama, and whose populations totaled in the tens of thousands. This "paramount chiefdom consisted of seven or more smaller chiefdoms, representing about 50,000 people."</p><br>
<h2>Excavations</h2><br>
<p>The Little Egypt site was excavated twice, once by Warren K. Moorehead in 1925 and again by David Hally (in association with the University of Georgia) in 1969. The site had been damaged by farming in the area since European settlement as well as erosion due to the water sources nearby. In the historic period, Creeks then Cherokees were known to inhabit the general area, but not the mounds themselves. A.R. Kelly surveyed this location and excavated sites nearby. Hally and his team excavated several pits, 5 ft by 10 ft by 3 ft and several trenches 3 ft in width. The site consisted of two mounds and a village nearby. Mound A was 9 ft in height and Mound B was 6 ft in height at the time of Hally’s excavation.</p><br>
<p>Features uncovered included several smudge pits for deer hide, layers of ash with food pieces in it, including both plants and animals (with an emphasis on acorns), and several hearths. The burned bone chips found in the area included: fresh water mussel shells, fish, turtle, birds (especially turkey), deer, black bear, beaver, bobcat, opossum, raccoon, and squirrel. The species were not evenly distributed throughout the site—only a limited number of them appeared in the mounds, suggesting a hierarchy of foodstuffs.</p><br>
<p>Some artifacts unburied during the process of excavation include: columella beads, cut and ground antler, bone awls, a shell mask, brass rings, and copper plate fragments. Some worked stone tools were found. Rock flakes, blades, points, and bifaces were also found. Twenty distinct types of pottery sherds were found throughout the site, falling into the basic categories of Woodland, Woodstock, and Lamar designs.</p><br>
<p>Several time periods were represented in the excavation. See table below.</p><br>
<p>Harbison-Walker Refractories Company, originally known as W.H. Haws Refractories Company, was a Pittsburgh-based company founded in 1902 and merged into Dresser Industries in 1967.</p><br>
<p>The company was part of the Fortune 500 from 1955 until 1967.</p><br>
<p>In 2015 a successor company in Pittsburgh adopted the Harbison-Walker name and brand as its own.</p><br>
<p>A national historic district and historic refractory brick manufacturing complex located at Mount Union in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania. It consists of 14 contributing buildings and 27 contributing structures. They were built in two sections; the No. 2 works date to 1899 and the No. 1 works date to 1905. Principal buildings and structures include brick kilns; mixing, molding, and drying facilities; storage and shipping sheds; a pattern making building; and crushing and screening facilities.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. It is located in the Mount Union Historic District, established in 1994.</p><br>
<p>Juniata Iron Works, also known as the Hatfield Iron Works, is a national historic district located at Porter Township in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania. It consists of six contributing buildings associated with a former ironworks: two ironmasters mansions, a store and post office, a grist mill, and two workers houses. The first ironmasters mansion was built in 1841, and is a -story brick house with a rear ell. The second ironmaster&#39;s mansion dates to 1867, and is a -story brick house with a rear ell. It features a Federal style main entrance. The store and post office has a brick first story and frame second story and houses a bed and breakfast. The -story grist mill was built in 1856. The buildings are associated with a historic iron furnace first developed on the south side of the Frankstown Branch of the Juniata River. The complex moved to the north side in the late-1840s. The iron works closed in the mid-1870s and the machinery dismantled.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>Barree Forge and Furnace, now known as Greene Hills Methodist Camp, is a national historic district located at Porter Township in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania. It consists of two contributing buildings, one contributing site, and one contributing structure associated with a former ironworks. They are the ironmasters mansion, furnace stack, a barn, and the site of the Barree iron forge built about 1797. The ironmasters mansion was built in the 1830s, and is a 2 1/2-story brick house painted white. The furnace stack dates to 1864, and is a 30-foot square, coursed limestone structure. It measures between 6 and 15 feet tall. The ironworks closed in the 1880s. The property was acquired in 1963, by the United Methodist Church for use as a church camp.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>Paradise Furnace, also known as Mary Anne Furnace, is a national historic district located in Trough Creek State Park at Todd Township in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania. It consists of two contributing buildings and one contributing structure associated with a former iron furnace. They are the ironmasters mansion, furnace stack, and a log workers house. The ironmasters mansion was built in the 1830s, and is a 2 1/2-story stone house in the Georgian plan. The furnace stack dates to the 1830s, and is a 28-foot square, coursed rubble stone structure. It measures between 15 and 20 feet tall. The ironworks operated from the late-18th century into the 1860s, when economic conditions caused it to be fired. The two-story log house dates to the late-18th century. It was converted for use as the park visitors center / museum in 1982.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>Bell Field Mound Site  is an archaeological site located on the western bank of the Coosawattee River below the Coosawatee’s junction with Talking Rock Creek. The site itself was destroyed by the construction of Carters Dam in the 1970s. With respect to the dam itself, Bell Field was located in front of the high dam along with the Sixtoe Mound and Little Egypt sites.</p><br>
<h2>Excavation history</h2><br>
<p>Excavations of the Bell Field site were carried-out in the late 1960s and the early 1970s by Arthur Randolph Kelly. At this time, Kelly was affiliated with the University of Georgia and all excavations of Bell Field were done in partnership with the University as well as the National Park Service and Army Corps of Engineers. Field seasons were primarily in the summer months, where both local volunteers and University students assisted with the work.</p><br>
<p>Archaeological investigations of the Bell Field site at this time were performed as salvage excavations to uncover any important artifacts or features that may have been lost to the construction of Carters Dam. Work done at the Bell Field site focused mainly on the central mound structures, with little attention paid to the surrounding village area.</p><br>
<h2>Site components and features</h2><br>
<p>Bell Field consisted of a central mound structure, flanked on its sides by terraces situated on the Coosawatee’s natural levees. The mound deposit itself showed stratification of artifacts and horizons associated with cycles of construction as well as the presence of four buildings atop the mound during its uppermost level of occupation. The general stratigraphy of the central mound showed a transition from a pure Dallas occupation to a mixed Dallas-Lamar one in its most terminal layers, which was expressed through eight levels of construction and occupation.</p><br>
<p>It also contained several units of conjoined, auxiliary buildings connected by passageways immediately around the central mound complex. Among these buildings examined near the core mound was a “council-house” structure (just north of the mound) with a central hearth, circularly-oriented and tiered seats, and associated auxiliary quarters.</p><br>
<p>The portion of the site corresponding to the village is thought to have existed and extended on both sides of the Coosawatee levee and the limited archaeological data for this portion of the site suggests at least three levels of occupation (based on brief surveys of house platforms southwest of the core mound).</p><br>
<p>Another feature of importance at the Bell Field site includes a large platform structure in its southeastern extent which showed some evidence of building structures atop it, due to the presence of numerous post-molds. Material culture of the platform itself was exclusively Lamar.</p><br>
<p>Storage pits full of burned corn and beans were also uncovered at the site. These appeared to be ritual in nature, based on the interment of the already-burned materials into the pits themselves as opposed to a burning of the site related to abandonment or removal.</p><br>
<p>A public dance-floor is thought to have been located at the southern edge of the site as well. This is based on the excavation of a large, compacted feature of pure sand that was uniform in both thickness and composition.</p><br>
<p>A series of three earth lodges, consisting of a central building flanked by others, was also uncovered by the later excavations of the 1970s. These lodges were situated underneath the core mound and pre-date the rest of the site significantly. There was also evidence that these lodge structures were rebuilt over-time and reused before the construction of the core mound.</p><br>
<h2>Dating and cultural implications</h2><br>
<p>Based on the data generated by the Kelley excavations, the chronology of the Bell Field site extends from a period of approximately 1000 AD to 1700 AD. The complete absence of historical artifacts or trade goods limits the site’s history to the early 1700s at the latest. Its earliest occupations are associated with the pre-Dallas earth lodges and are thought to correspond to a Savannah Period tradition based on the site’s geography and their construction.</p><br>
<p>The main phases of occupation understood at the site are those associated with the core mound and village, which show a continued occupation from Dallas to Lamar, with the Lamar artifacts increasing in abundance in later portions of the site. These periods place the chronology of this portion of the Bell Field site firmly between the time of Hernando DeSoto’s explorations of the Southeast in the 1500s to the turn of the eighteenth century.</p><br>
<p>The occurrence of Dallas culture artifacts is thought to be linked with the Coosa Upper Creek, based on the location of the site, similar occurrences in other areas, and ethnographic evidence. Similarly, the Lamar tradition artifacts are thought to be related to the Cherokee people of the region at this time, based mainly on ethnographic evidence and geography of the site. The supposed dance-floor at the southern edge of the site also lends itself to a Cherokee period of occupation, based on the occurrence of stomp-dances in Cherokee culture which could have produced the flat, compact deposit noted by Kelley.</p><br>
<p>Another cultural activity present at Bell Field seems to have been ritual burning associated with cyclical cycles of rebuilding. This is most evident in the core mound stratigraphy as well as the proximate building complexes.</p><br>
<p>The Jim Henson Company Lot  is a studio property located just south of the southeast corner of La Brea Avenue and Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood. It was built in 1917 by film star Charlie Chaplin.</p><br>
<p>After being sold by Chaplin in 1953, the property went through several changes in ownership and has served at various times as Kling Studios, the Red Skelton Studios, the shooting location for the Adventures of Superman and Perry Mason television series, and as the headquarters for A&M Records and The Jim Henson Company. In 1969, it was designated as a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Construction</h3><br>
<p>In October 1917, Charlie Chaplin announced plans to build his own film studio at the southeast corner of La Brea and Sunset Boulevard. In his autobiography, Chaplin described the decision as follows:"At the end of the Mutual contract, I was anxious to get started with First National, but we had no studio. I decided to buy land in Hollywood and build one. The site was the corner of Sunset and La Brea and had a very fine ten-room house and five acres of lemon, orange and peach trees. We built a perfect unit, complete with developing plant, cutting room, and offices."Chaplin purchased the site from R.S. McClellan, who lived on the site and had a large grove of orange trees on the property. The lot had 300 ft of frontage on Sunset and 600 ft on La Brea, extending south to De Longpre. Chaplin announced he would make his home on the northern part of the property, and build his own motion picture plant on the south part of the property, cornering at La Brea and De Longpre. Chaplin&#39;s plans for six English-style buildings, "arranged as to give the effect of a picturesque English village street," were published in the Los Angeles Times in October 1917. The plans were prepared by the Milwaukee Building Company (Meyer & Holler), and the total investment was estimated to be in the region of $100,000. The layout of the buildings was described by the Los Angeles Times in 2002 as a "fairy-tale cottage complex." Another writer has described the style as "eccentric Peter Pan architecture."</p><br>
<p>The location was at that time a residential neighborhood, and Chaplins application for a building permit was opposed by area residents, some of whom complained that it was too near the Hollywood High School. However, the City Council voted 8–1 to approve Chaplins permit. Chaplin reportedly built his "English cottage-style studio" in three months beginning in November 1917, at a reported cost of only $35,000. The DVD collection titled "Chaplin Collection" includes Chaplins 1918 film How to Make Movies, which depicts the studios construction in time-lapse photography.</p><br>
<p>Construction of the studios was completed in approximately 1919. Chaplin preserved a large existing residence on the northern (Sunset Boulevard) end of the property, and planned to live there, but never in fact did. Various studio personnel lived there over the years, including his brother Sydney Chaplin. The "English cottages" along La Brea served as the facade for offices, a screening room, and a film laboratory. The grounds included stables, a swimming pool and tennis courts. The central part of the property, which was originally an orchard, became the backlot, where large outdoor sets were constructed. The two large open-air stages used for filming were constructed on the southern end of the property, and the rest of the facility consisted of dressing rooms, a garage, a carpenter&#39;s shed, and a film vault.</p><br>
<h3>Charlie Chaplin (1919-1952)</h3><br>
<p>Many of Chaplin&#39;s classic films were shot at the studios, including The Kid (1921), The Gold Rush (1925), City Lights (1931), Modern Times (1936), The Great Dictator (1940), Monsieur Verdoux (1947), and Limelight (1952). Chaplin also filmed many famous visitors at his studios on La Brea, including Winston Churchill, Helen Keller, Lord Mountbatten, and Harry Lauder.</p><br>
<p>The studios saw a number of changes over the next 20 years. The two open-air stages were converted to closed soundstages in the mid-1930s, before the filming of Modern Times, and a smaller stage was also built over the site of the studio swimming pool at that time. Stage 2 had previously been seriously damaged by a fire during production of The Circus in 1927. Also, the expansion of La Brea Avenue in 1928–29 forced the physical movement of the buildings adjacent to the street back 15 ft from their original locations.</p><br>
<p>In 1942, Chaplin sold the northern portion of the property, the portion containing the residence, tennis courts, and a portion of his backlot, to Safeway Stores. and a shopping center was built in its place.</p><br>
<p>In October 1943, Chaplin&#39;s studios were opened up for the first time to be used to shoot an outside production, Curly, produced by Columbia Pictures. The Los Angeles Times reported at the time that the Chaplin Studio "has been more or less sacrosanct, in the sense that outsiders were practically never permitted to work there." However, studio manager Alfred Reeves told the Times that the Chaplin organization was "not going into the space rental business," and that the use of the studios by Columbia would not create a precedent.</p><br>
<p>In 1949, the studios were reportedly the site of Greta Garbo&#39;s last screen test.</p><br>
<h3>Television production (1953-1966)</h3><br>
<p>Chaplin, who had left America permanently in October 1952, sold the studio in 1953 to Webb and Knapp for $650,000. The new owner had planned to tear down the studio, but it was quickly leased to a television production company and became known as Kling Studios. In 1955, it was used to shoot the Adventures of Superman television series starring George Reeves.</p><br>
<p>Beginning in 1959, Red Skelton shot his television series at the facility, and in April 1960 Skelton purchased the studio. From behind a desk in the office once occupied by Chaplin, Skelton said:"Im not the head of the studio. Ill be president and just own the joint.... Seriously, I couldnt be a studio executive because Im not qualified.... Ive got a nice enough racket trying to make people laugh and dont intend to foul that up. And, besides, that&#39;s harder than running a studio."Skelton also purchased three large mobile units for taping color television shows, making a total investment estimated at $3.5 million. Skelton had a large "Skelton Studios" sign erected over the main gate on La Brea Avenue. Skelton also removed a block of sidewalk on the studio grounds which Chaplin had signed and pressed his footprints into in 1918 for display at his Palm Springs home.</p><br>
<p>Skelton sold the studio to CBS in 1962, and CBS shot the Perry Mason television series there from 1962–1966.</p><br>
<h3>A&M Records (1967-1999)</h3><br>
<p>In 1966, Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss purchased the studio from CBS to serve as a headquarters for A&M Records.The elderly Chaplin briefly revisited his former studio in 1972, when he made his only return trip to America to accept an honorary Academy Award. A&M had hoped to welcome him back with a ceremony, but instead he chose to avoid the attention and arranged to drive by the studio gates on a weekend.</p><br>
<h3>Historic designation</h3><br>
<p>In February 1969, the old Chaplin Studios were designated as a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument. At the time, Carl Dentzel, the President of the Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Board, said the property was one of the few locations from old Hollywood that retained a complete early-day production layout. Dentzel also noted, "His studio was one of the first to be established here and by some quirk of fate continuity from the movies earliest times to todays television and recordings demands has persevered." The studio was only the second entertainment-related building to receive the Historic-Cultural Monument designation. after Grauman&#39;s Chinese Theater.</p><br>
<p>In April 1989, the organization "Hollywood Heritage" celebrated the 100th anniversary of Chaplins birth with a rare screening of Chaplins 1918 documentary How to Make Movies and The Kid, both shown at the Chaplin Stage at A&M Records. Chaplins son, Sydney, received a plaque at the screening honoring his fathers achievements.</p><br>
<h3>The Jim Henson Company (2000-present)</h3><br>
<p>In February 2000, Jim Henson&#39;s children purchased the studio for $12.5 million to serve as the new home of The Jim Henson Company.</p><br>
<p>Hensons daughter, Lisa Henson, said, "The buildings are a lovable hodge-podge of quirky, unusual spaces. There are unexpected elements in some of the offices like original vaults and fish tank-like bathrooms. Its not your typical corporate space, but its ideal for the Muppets." At a ceremony in June 2000, the Henson Company unveiled a 12 ft color statue of Kermit the Frog, dressed as Chaplins character The Tramp, above the studios main gate. Hensons son, Brian Henson, said at the time, "When we heard that the Chaplin lot was for sale, we had to have it. It&#39;s the perfect home for the Muppets and our particular brand of classy, but eccentric entertainment. When people walk onto our lot, they fall in love with Hollywood again."</p><br>
<p>In 2007, the Sci-Fi Channel series Ghost Hunters shot an episode at the studios, reporting on ghost stories told for years by employees working on the lot.</p><br>
<p>The lot was used as the set for the abandoned Muppet Studios in the 2011 film The Muppets.</p><br>
<h2>Facilities</h2><br>
<h3>Henson Recording Studios</h3><br>
<p>Henson Recording Studios (formerly A&M Studios) is a recording studio located on the lot. It consists of four small studio suites and a mixing suite.</p><br>
<p>In 1985, the hit single and video "We Are the World" was recorded in Studio A by a cast that included Michael Jackson, Bob Dylan, Kenny Rogers, Stevie Wonder and Bruce Springsteen. On February 1, 2010, it was re-recorded there to benefit victims of the Haiti earthquake.</p><br>
<p>Many notable recording artists have recorded albums and videos at the studios, including Styx, The Carpenters, The Police, the Moody Blues, Oingo Boingo, Soundgarden, and Van Morrison.</p><br>
<p>In 2011, Van Halen&#39;s comeback album, A Different Kind of Truth, was recorded in Studio C with producer John Shanks. On February 1, 2012, they performed live at Henson Studios to a celebrity-packed crowd, adding to the performance legend of the studio.</p><br>
<p>Henson Recording Studios was also one of the places where punk rock band The Offspring recorded their ninth studio album Days Go By (2012) with producer Bob Rock.</p><br>
<p>Seether also recorded their 2014 album Isolate and Medicate at Henson Recording Studios.</p><br>
<h3>Henson Soundstage</h3><br>
<p>The Henson Soundstage (formerly Chaplin Stage) is a sound stage on the lot.</p><br>
<p>During A&M&#39;s tenure, it was used to film music videos, including "Every Breath You Take" by The Police and "Ghostbusters" by Ray Parker Jr. In addition, Soul Train was taped there from 1981 to 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Sixtoe Mound site  is an archaeological site in Murray County, Georgia excavated by Arthur Randolph Kelly from 1962-1965 as a part of the Carters Dam project conducted for the National Park Service by the University of Georgia. The site consisted of a low platform mound and an associated village. The majority of the mound was excavated, while the village received little excavation.</p><br>
<h2>Sixtoe Field</h2><br>
<p>Excavation in Sixtoe Field began in 1962. Excavation covered about 25 acres, with test pits yielding the existence of a workshop site (9MU100; XU-G). A ton or more of worked stone of various stages was discovered here, with some stones being subjected to heating or burning. The majority of the mineral content was quartz, with about 5 per cent showing various quartzitic combinations: slate, limestone, limited flint or chert. A few “rejects” were found, but almost no completed or nearly completed specimens. The artifacts indicate that main period of workshop activity took place during the Late Archaic period. The site is not a source site of quartz; rather the quartz came from the streambed of the Coosawattee River.</p><br>
<p>A village site was also discovered, as testing with a light steel probe uncovered a “hardpan”, a tough compacted span of soil that is indicative of a floor of a housing structure. Excavation focused on two housing structures, Structure #1 and Structure #2. Structure #1 was most likely a house that was 20 x 20 feet with rounded corners. There was an entrance on the south side with a central hearth in the middle of the structure. No wall daub was found; rather the walls were most likely made with saplings with upper tapering portions bent and tied in the roof section, with cane mat- ting tied to a supporting framework of small splints inter- woven in the wall fabric. Structure #2 was very similar to Structure #1, but with some variations in postmould patterns.</p><br>
<p>These structures also shared the relative same presence of artifacts and midden on the floor surface. The majority of the sherds found in Structure #1 and Structure #2 were of those were Dallas Plain.</p><br>
<p>The “trash pits” of the village were able to illustrate what these people were eating. A main component of these middens were animal bones, particularly deer bones. Other small mammal bones along with fish bones and turtle carapaces were found as well. Apart from animal remains, numerous deposits of charred acorns and hickory nuts were found in pockets. What is noted here is that these people lived nearly on a completely traditional diet, with a notable absence of charred corncobs and kernels, which are found in other sites dating to this time period.</p><br>
<h2>Sixtoe Mound</h2><br>
<p>The majority of the excavation was conducted on the Sixtoe Mound. Sixtoe Mound was apparently a low, extensive platform mound of solid clay or gumbo construction, perhaps originally about 6 or 7 feet above the surrounding terrain and original river levee. This is especially important in that when the Coosawattee River would flood, the mound would become an island until the water receded.</p><br>
<p>The Sixtoe Mound contained various zones of construction. Zone A was a sub-mound soil complex of dark clay with lots of silt, where the original land surface was uneven and a natural levee on the north bank of the Coosawattee. Zone B was the initial mound-fill that was composed of a dark, almost black clay, with heavy organic content, charcoal, and some scattered midden inclusions. This zone varied in thickness from 20-30 inches and formed the core mound of the structure. Zone C was a small lamination of water-laid yellow-brown sand, ranging from 2-6 inches thick. Zone D consisted of basket-loaded clay, while Zone E was the complex superficies of Sixtoe Mound.</p><br>
<p>The features of initial interest in this mound were the stone boulders, which varied from 2-75 pounds. These boulders formed a continuous mantle along the east escarpment of the mound. This wall was 12-14 inches wide and most likely served as a major factor in stabilizing erosion down slope.</p><br>
<p>The Sixtoe Mound was located over 400 yards from the village site and most likely served as a ceremonial center, which had large dormitory-like structures, two of which were 40x70 feet, on the mound summit. These structures were not burned down, but were rather built over, or one building would fall apart and a new one was then built over the remains.</p><br>
<p>Unlike the village, midden accumulation in these structures was relatively scarce. Midden was most likely thrown into quarry pits made during construction of the mound and contained little animal bones, ash, or charcoal, which also differed from the village site. Pottery sherds were also found and ¾ of the pottery was limestone tempered plain and complicated stamped, and this lack of shell tempered or sand tempered pottery as found in other sites in the area is somewhat of an anomaly. A number of non-ceramic artifacts were found, which include shell hoes, bone awls, a rough chipped stone spade, projectile points, flint knives, and a pair of ground stone “napkin ring” ear spools.</p><br>
<p>The Camptown Historic District, also known as the La Mott Historic District and Camp William Penn, is a national historic district located in La Mott, Pennsylvania. It is well known for the residence of famous abolitionist and suffragette Lucretia Mott. It was also a stop on the Underground Railroad. It played a crucial role in the Civil War; from 1863 to 1865, it housed Camp William Penn, a military training post for African-American soldiers. Following the war, many of the soldiers bought homes in the area. The area was said to be named "Camptown," but, since there was already another community in Pennsylvania that used that name, the name "La Mott" was chosen when the post office was established in 1885. The district covers 26 acres, and includes 35 contributing buildings.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>Hornaday Camp  is a historic campsite located 10 mi south of Montana Highway 200 near Sand Springs, Montana. William Temple Hornaday used the site during his 1886 expedition for the Smithsonian Institution to preserve the American buffalo. A noted zoologist and taxidermist, Hornaday was named Chief Taxidermist of the Smithsonian in 1882. Upon his return from Montana, Hornaday created the American Bison Group exhibit to present his findings. The exhibit was considered an achievement in museum taxidermy and popularized the practice of grouping animal specimens in natural habitats instead of mounting each specimen separately on a pedestal. Hornadays experience with the endangered buffalo led him to pursue conservation efforts, including the founding of the National Zoo. Hornadays Montana campsite is the only remaining site associated with his life and efforts.</p><br>
<p>The camp was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 26, 1991.</p><br>
<p>Eutaw Place Temple is a large, eclectically-styled former synagogue on Eutaw Place in the Bolton Hill neighborhood of Baltimore, Maryland. The temple was constructed to serve the German Jewish immigrant community. Originally built as a synagogue for the Temple Oheb Shalom congregation, the property was sold to the Prince Hall Masons in 1960. It was built in 1892 as the second home of the Oheb Shalom congregation, and borrows design elements from the Great Synagogue of Florence. The architect was Joseph Evans Sperry of Baltimore.</p><br>
<p>The exterior is white Beaver Dam marble. The main space is roughly 82 ft square, capped by a series of vaults and the dome and surrounded by galleries, seating about 2,200 people. The temple originally cost $225,000 to build.</p><br>
<p>The Eutaw Place Temple is a major contributing structure in the Bolton Hill Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The Moose Jaw City Hall is home to the Moose Jaw City Council and is located at 228 Main Street North in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada, and is designated as a municipal heritage property. The building was originally designed and built by the J. McDiarmid Company for the Government of Canada to house a post office, Royal Canadian Mounted Police station and other government offices. In 1965 the building was sold by the federal government to the City of Moose Jaw and converted into a city hall.</p><br>
<p>Moose Jaw Police Service Headquarters is located in a building attached at the rear of the building.</p><br>
<h2>Former City Hall</h2><br>
<p>The city&#39;s first city hall was a Beaux Arts building built in 1904 at the southeast corner of 76 Fairford Street West and 1 Avenue NW in the area known as City Square and demolished with the Annex in the 1950s. The site is now a parking lot</p><br>
<p>next to Moose Jaw Police HQ and steps from the current City Hall at Fairford Street West and Main Street North.</p><br>
<p>The Anticline Ridge is a ridge, southeast of Joaquin Ridge, declining from its high point, Black Mountain in the north, to the southeast into low hills bound on the southeast by Los Gatos Creek that divides it from the Guijarral Hills. It is located in the inner California Coast Ranges, in Fresno County, California, east of the town of Coalinga. Anticline Ridge and Guijarral Hills divides Pleasant Valley from the San Joaquin Valley to the east. California State routes 33 and 198, which join together for the stretch through and north of Coalinga, cut across the Coalinga field and cross Anticline Ridge.</p><br>
<p>Anticline Ridge is the surface expression of an anticlinal structure which continues to the south as the Guijarral Hills and Kettleman Hills, and is the location of a major part of the huge Coalinga Oil Field.
