<p>St. Katherines Chapel, also known as St. Katherines Episcopal Chapel, is an historic Episcopal church building located at 4650 North Meridian Road in Williamston Township, near Williamston, Michigan. It was built 1n 1887 in the Carpenter Gothic style of architecture by John Harris Forster in memory of his daughter Kittie  who had died in 1864 at the age of six. In 1888 Forster gave the chapel to Episcopal Diocese of Michigan and it was named St. Katherine&#39;s Chapel in memory of Kitty. On February 23, 1969, the chapel was designated a Michigan State Historic Site and on July 8, 1970, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The parish known today as St. Katherine&#39;s Episcopal Church is still an active parish in the Episcopal Diocese of Michigan. The Rev. Ronald Byrd, Sr., is its current rector. The chapel is still in use today for one Sunday service as well as for occasional weddings and other events. The church holds it main services in the larger church building built further back on the same property.</p><br>
<h2>Cemetery</h2><br>
<p>Forster, his daughter and other family members and parishioners were buried on the grounds of St. Katherine&#39;s. The small cemetery which developed there is now used mainly for the burial of cremated remains.</p><br>
<p>The Union County Courthouse is a courthouse in El Dorado, Arkansas, United States, the county seat of Union County, built in 1927. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. The courthouse was built in the Classic Revival and Greek Revival styles by Mann & Stern and anchors the center of Union Square.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Union County was established in 1829 from Hempstead County and Clark County. The county seat began at Ecore Fabre and was moved to Scarborough’s Landing. Cotton farmers again requested the county seat to move in 1843. It was moved to the county&#39;s highest point and was platted as El Dorado.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The four-story courthouse has an entirely smooth limestone exterior with 40 freestanding ionic columns. Scales of justice and lanterns adorn the exterior. Inside the courthouse is a two story marble art deco atrium of marble and a courtroom with walnut wainscoting, a plaster ceiling featuring gilded rosettes and walls textured to resemble stone.</p><br>

<p>Cambria County Courthouse is a historic courthouse located at Ebensburg, Cambria County, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1880-1881, and is a 3 1/2-story, brick building in the Second Empire style. It features a mansard roof.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>Two earlier courthouses served the county. The first was built in 1808 and the second in 1828-1830. The current courthouse was built on the same site as the second.</p><br>
<p>M.E. Beebe of Buffalo, New York designed the courthouse and Henry Shenk constructed it at a cost of $109,962. The building is a parallelogram with a 120 ft. of frontage on Center St. with a depth of 80 ft. The height to the eaves of the roof is 48 ft. Eighty thousand pressed bricks made by H & G Evans of Philadelphia were used to construct the outer walls, and 20,000 bricks were made onsite for the inner walls.</p><br>
<p>The mansard slate roof has porthole dormers and elaborate chimneys and a decorative bracketed cornice. The central pavilion has flanking pilasters supporting a classic portico.</p><br>
<p>A 1923 renovation added an elevator, three new wings, each with a courtroom, and a rotunda with an elaborate glass dome joining the wings. Courtroom 1 was added at this time. It is one of the largest courtrooms in the United States, with 500 seats. A second renovation was completed in 1995. Twenty-six portraits of county judges grace the building, many of which were painted in the 1920s and 1930s by Mr. and Mrs. Vale. Two 1930 murals, Knowledge and Justice were restored in 1994.</p><br>
<p>Cambria Public Library Building, also known as Carnegie Public Library, is a historic library building located at Johnstown, Cambria County, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1890-1891, with funds provided by the philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. It is one of 3,000 such libraries constructed between 1885 and 1919. Carnegie provided all funds toward the construction and maintenance of the library through 1930. It is a three-story brick building with a tile roof encased in dormers in the French Gothic revival style. It was damaged in the Johnstown Flood of 1936 and ceased to function as a library in 1971. The building houses the Johnstown Flood Museum.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. It is located in the Downtown Johnstown Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The Anson Bay, Daly and Reynolds River Floodplains comprise some 2,656 km&sup2; of seasonally inundated floodplains around Anson Bay, and the lower reaches of the Daly, Reynolds and Docherty Rivers entering the bay, on the west coast of the Top End of the Northern Territory of Australia. Anson’s Bay lies about 120 km south-west of Darwin, on the eastern side of the Joseph Bonaparte Gulf, opening on to the Timor Sea. The site is important for large numbers, and a wide variety, of waterbirds.</p><br>
<h2>Birds</h2><br>
<p>The floodplains have been identified as an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because they support large numbers of magpie geese, wandering whistling ducks, pied herons and intermediate egrets. The adjacent intertidal mudflats of Anson Bay support up to 27,000 waders, or shorebirds, probably including over 1% of the world population of great knots. The site several large waterbird nesting colonies; other birds that breed in relatively large numbers include little black, little pied and pied cormorants, darters, Australian white ibises, royal spoonbills, Australian pelicans, great, intermediate and cattle egrets, pied herons and nankeen night herons.</p><br>
<p>The Dyar site  is an archaeological site in Greene County, Georgia, in the north central Piedmont physiographical region. The site covers an area of 2.5 hectares. It was inhabited almost continuously from 1100 to 1600 by a local variation of the Mississippian culture known as the South Appalachian Mississippian culture. Although submerged under Lake Oconee, the site is still important as one of the first explorations of a large Mississippian culture mound. The Dyar site is thought to have been one of the principal towns of the paramount chiefdom of Ocute, perhaps Cofaqui.</p><br>
<h2>Site description</h2><br>
<p>The platform mound located at the site was described in 1975 as being in the shape of a truncated cone approximately 10.3 m high and with a base 52 m in diameter. On the eastern edge of the mound in the central area of the site was an plaza surrounded by domestic structures making up an oval shaped village of 2.13 hectares.</p><br>
<h3>Mound</h3><br>
<p>Platform mounds are built up in a series of stages that can span generations. The Dyar mound itself began during the Stillhouse Phase with a large civic structure with a sand floor and built with single set post construction. Over this a layer of 70 cm thick blue-black clay was added. On top of this was added a 40 cm layer of grey clay loam and on which another structure was added. Stillhouse Phase Etowah Complicated stamped pottery sherds were found at this layer. Stage II begins with another layer of 30 cm grey clay loam added. Stages III, IV, V, and VI are in sequence 35 cm of dark and then white clay, 45 cm red and grey clay, 70 cm of grey and tan clay, and 37 cm of dark grey and reddish tan clay, each stage with its own structure. Stage VII consists of 25 cm of grey and orange and 25 cm of yellow clay. A step up on the western side of the summit indicates that this stage was the first to have multiple levels and multiple structures, possibly two large structures on the western side and a smaller one on the eastern side which was found to have had a burned floor. Stage VIII was a layer of brown clay 14 cmto 20 cm thick. The eastern side at this stage is 40 cm lower than the western side and covered by a layer of construction debris though to have come from the razing of an old structure on the western side. Stage IX is 80 cm of brown and grey clay with the multiple levels continuing. Pottery sherds from this layer are thought to date from the Duvall Phase. Stage X is a thin 10 cm layer of light grey clay followed by Stage XI which is another thick 57 cm layer of gray and tan clay. Stage XI is thought to date from the Ironhorse Phase. All stages above this date to the Ironhorse and Dyar Phases. Stage XII is a 60 cm layer of yellow and grey clay. The structure at the western side has a semi-subterranean floor cut into its surface, the first seen on the mound. At this stage the difference between the eastern and western levels is 40 cm to 50 cm. Stage XIII was a layer 62 cm of yellow-orange and grey clay. The eastern level has a 10 cm to 18 cm cap of yellow clay. This stage and Stage XIV, an indeterminate layer of gray sandy clay, were not found to have structures. It is not known if they did not have structures at this time or if the evidence for these structures or subsequent layers has been lost.</p><br>
<h3>Mound structures</h3><br>
<p>The western level from stages VII to XIII had two large structures with specially prepared clay floors that were kept meticulously clean. The floors on these structures was very deeply entrenched into the mound. This feature was noted by the first European observers of the mound. Without the structures over them, they assumed the deep enclosures were walls. The two structures may at times have been connected by a passageway, although this is not certain. It is also not certain if all stages had both structures. These structures were also rebuilt multiple times during the last phases of construction, more often than the layers of new mound fill were added. The function of northwestern of the two cannot be determined, but the southwestern structure has archaeological remains relating to ritual activities such as the sacred fire and the black drink ceremony. The final structure at the southwestern position was burned and radiocarbon dating of its remains have placed it at 1555. The eastern structure was domestic in nature and was used for food preparation, cooking and possibly feasting. Except for a short time in the 14th century the Dyar mound and its accompanying structures were regularly rebuilt for over five centuries.</p><br>
<h3>Site chronology</h3><br>
<p>Archaeologists use changes in ceramic styles across multiple sites to determine timelines for entire regions. The ceramics found at the Dyar site show that it was abandoned for a time during the Scull Shoals (1250 - 1375), but was again inhabited from the Duvall Phase 1375 - 1450 until the time of European contact.</p><br>
<h2>Excavations</h2><br>
<p>While the mound had been described as early as the late 19th century, by C.C. Jones, and subject to undocumented amateur excavations, it was not systematically researched until 1975 when, in a project funded by the Georgia Power Company, it was excavated by a team led by Chester DePratter of the University of Georgia. Although hampered by damage done to the mound by amateurs, DePratter&#39;s research found it unique to the area, concluding that it was a large Lamar mound and village site. In other areas, soil evidence indicated plowing from the 19th century and poor farming practices in the area that century and the next. The area does not seem to have been the home of one group or people following one leader. Rather, evidence supports four phases of native occupation, ranging from 1100 to 1600: The Stillhouse phase, the Duvall phase, the Iron Horse phase, and the Dyar phase. Variance in ceramics are a strong indicator of the different phases. Pottery suggests that the area was occupied in the Stillhouse phase by people of the Etowah chiefdom. In the 15th century, after a period when the site was unoccupied, the region seems first to have been settled by Lamar people, as some Lamar artifacts were discovered in those remains. The final two phases are also Lamar occupancy, terminating in approximately 1555. Contact with Europeans may have led to the gradual abandonment of the mound.</p><br>
<p>The Richtenberger See  is a lake between the towns of Franzburg and Richtenberg in Western Pomerania in northeast Germany. The waterbody was drained in 1936, but refilled as part of an ecological measure to compensate for environmental damage caused by the construction of the A 20 motorway.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The lake has an area of about 130 hectares, a maximum length of about 1.8 kilometres from east to west and a maximum width of one kilometre from north to south. It has two islands. The water surface is about 10 metres above sea level. To the north lies Richtenberg and on the southern shore is Franzburg. The boundary between the two town boroughs runs through the lake. One of several inflows is the Schleusengraben ("sluice ditch") which enters from the east. On the southwestern shore of the lake is the Blinde Trebel channel which drains the lake. This channel is laid out as a fish ladder which climbs a height of 3.8 metres. In the southwest the lake is bordered by the Hellberge protected area.</p><br>
<p>There are footpaths, cycle paths and bridleways around the lake.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The lake was first mentioned in the 13th century, although it is not absolutely clear whether it had a natural origin or was laid out by monks from the nearby Neuenkamp Abbey in present-day Franzburg. The area was drained in 1936 by the Reichsarbeitsdienst. Before it was reflooded in 2006 there were wet meadows here that were crossed by drainage ditches that emptied into the Schleusengraben. The local district office of Franzburg-Richtenberg agreed tom implement an Agenda 21 plan for redesigning the landscape around the Franzburg-Richtenberger See.</p><br>
<p>A dispute has arisen between the towns of Franzburg and Richtenberg over the name of the lake. Richtenberg insists that the lake must be named after itself for historic reasons.</p><br>
<p>The Beaverdam Creek Archaeological Site, , is an archaeological site located on a floodplain of Beaverdam Creek in Elbert County, Georgia approximately 0.8 km from the creeks confluence with the Savannah River, and is currently inundated by the Richard B. Russell Lake. The site consisted of a platform mound and an associated village site. Beaverdam Creek is thought to have been the center of a Mississippian culture simple chiefdom with a small resident population. The primary period of mound construction and village occupation dated to the regional Savannah period of the Middle Mississippian period, specifically 1200–1300 CE, with the sites abandonment occurring sometime after 1300. The mound was 1.5 m high, and its base measured 25 m by 25 m. The village boundaries were delineated as 15,000 square meters.</p><br>
<h2>Excavation</h2><br>
<p>1969: The site was first observed professionally by Brooks Hutto, who reported that at least two decades of sustained looting by pot-hunters had damaged the mound and village site considerably.</p><br>
<p>1971: Joseph R. Caldwell of the University of Georgia conducted an eight-week field-school at the site, but a series of unpredictable and unfortunate events including dismal weather, pot-hunting raids by looters and the theft of equipment led to a disappointing excavation season.</p><br>
<p>1973: Chung Ho Lee, following the passing of Joseph R. Caldwell, wrote a report summarizing the 1971 excavations. Lee concluded that the mound was a multistage platform mound constructed during the Savannah period, and that ceremonial grave goods (including a copper-covered celt) were included in the mound.</p><br>
<p>1977: The Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology of the University of South Carolina conducted survey and testing that indicated a village midden was present and extended some 50 m from the mound.</p><br>
<p>1979: At the behest of the USA Army Corps of Engineers, the Thunderbird Research Corporation undertook to more accurately delineate the village boundaries through shovel tests, augering and limited excavation.</p><br>
<p>1980: Excavations by Gardner and Rappleye revealed early Lamar period (1375–1475 CE) material in the midden, and on this evidence proposed a primary use period for the site during this time. This conflicting hypothesis prompted them to recommend to the USA Army Corps of Engineers that the mound be completely excavated, the village midden be extensively tested and that the floodplain to the north and southeast be thoroughly surveyed.</p><br>
<p>1980-1981: With funds provided by The USA Army Corps of Engineers, the University of Georgia Research Foundation,Inc. and the Archaeological Services Branch of the National Park Service began excavations as mitigation under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act for the construction of the Richard B. Russell Dam and Reservoir. These excavations were led David J. Hally and James C. Rudolph, and created copious amounts of information concerning mound construction stages, subsistence, social structure as well as evidence for cooking, tool making, trash disposal and one possible village structure.</p><br>
<h2>Site description</h2><br>
<p>The mound construction stages show a growing complexity in social structure and hierarchy at the site. Beginning as a midden 15–20 cm thick, the mound grew through a succession of two earthlodge structures, a possible flooding event and four subsequent mound building stages. The earthlodges were superimposed square structures surrounded by significantly high earthen embankments. The interment of a high status individual, known as Burial 2, occurred prior to the construction of the second earthlodge after the partial dismantling of the first. These structures were then covered by a layer of water-lain sand that is interpreted as a possible flooding event. Following this, four separate platform-mound building events were recorded by Hally and Rudolph. The mounds were topped by free-standing structures of possible political/ceremonial importance. Mound Stage 2 also saw the addition of a 2.25 m wide ramp with the appearance of steps.</p><br>
<p>There were 46 burials (16 adult females, 15 adult males, 13 children and 3 of indeterminate sex) excavated by Hally and Rudolph that exhibit marked differentiation of social status. Burial 2 was replete with grave goods. The inclusion of children into mound mortuary has been interpreted as evidence for ascribed status, and is considered a marker of increased hierarchical differentiation. Burial 2 grave goods included more than 7,000 mussel shell beads and a copper headpiece and ear spools.</p><br>
<p>The well-preserved food remains excavated from village midden provides for a detailing of a diversified and generalized subsistence strategy rather that a more focal strategy employed by the inhabitants. The remains included resources from the upland and bottomland forest, river shoals, and agricultural practices on the fertile floodplain, and included maize, squash, sumpweed, sunflower, maypops, grapes, persimmons, acorns, hickory nuts, grass seeds and greens as floral resources, as well, as faunal resources such as deer, rabbits, squirrels, raccoons, beaver, turkey and riverine foods including turtle, catfish, gar, sucker and bass.</p><br>
<p>The excavations conducted at Beaverdam Creek have helped to clarify two important categories of study in Mississippian period chiefdoms, namely how is a chiefdom quantified and what were subsistence strategies employed by a chiefdom once it has been quantified? The exchange of earthlodges for structures atop platform mounds coupled with Burial 2 and the inclusion of children argues for the emergence of the site as a stratified chiefdom, and the floral and faunal evidence indicate a highly diversified subsistence strategy.</p><br>
<h2>Inundation</h2><br>
<p>The Richard B. Russell Dam constructed on the Savannah River inundated site 9EB85 as the filling of the Richard B. Russell Reservoir began in October 1983.</p><br>
<p>The Captain Greenfield Pote House is an historic house located on Wolfes Neck Road in Freeport, Maine, United States. Built c. 1750 and supposedly moved to this location in 1765, it is Freeports oldest surviving building. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970,</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Greenfield Pote House is located on Wolf Neck, a peninsula across the tidal Harraseeket River from the central parts of Freeport. It is set on the east side of Wolf Neck Road, just south of its junction with Burnett Road, and north of Wolfe&#39;s Neck Woods State Park. It is a two story wood frame structure, with a gable roof that slopes down to the first floor in the rear, giving it a saltbox profile. Its foundation is unmortared fieldstone. It is finished in split cedar shingles, many of which are likely still original.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1750 on Falmouth Neck, the peninsula that is now the city of Portland, but was then known as Falmouth. From 1760 it was owned by Captain Greenfield Pote, a ship&#39;s captain. After complaints were filed by Falmouth residents that he set sail on the Sabbath, Pote decided to move. In 1765 the house was loaded onto a flatboat, and sailed about 13 mi down Casco Bay to this area, where it was then moved on rollers to its present location.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the house has had little alteration beyond the introduction of electricity. About 1970 it came into the hands of the Smith family, who were dedicated to its preservation, and who donated the land that became Wolfe&#39;s Neck Woods State Park.</p><br>
<h2>Pote Cemetery</h2><br>
<p>The Pote Cemetery is named after Captain Greenfield Pote and is. Graves mostly range from 1797 to 1921. Greenfield Pote is also buried in the cemetery, though his wife was buried in Falmouth.</p><br>

The HookandBullet.Com website says Lake Henry has bluegill, crappie and bowfin.</p><br>
<p>The Old Tejon Pass , is a mountain pass in the Tehachapi Mountains linking Southern and Central California. The pass is located in Kern County, California, fifteen miles to the northeast of the present Tejon Pass. It runs at the top of a divide between a point about five miles east of the Rancho Tejon boundary in Tejon Creek Canyon, and Cottonwood Creek Canyon north of Antelope Valley. It lies at an elevation of 5,285 ft, and sits between two peaks of 5,491 ft  and 5,566 ft .</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The ancient native trail which utilized what is now known as the Old Tejon Pass was found and explored in 1772 by Spanish explorer Pedro Fages. The pass was used in 1776 by missionary explorer, padre Francisco Garcés. In 1806, Lt. Francisco Ruiz named it Tejon Pass while on an expedition into the San Joaquin Valley. Ruiz also named Tejon Canyon and Tejon Creek, all referencing the dead badger (or tejón) he had found at the canyon mouth.</p><br>
<p>In early 1827, the first overland American exploratory journey to California, led by Jedediah Smith, used the pass to move northwest from Antelope Valley into San Joaquin Valley, led by Native American guides familiar with the pass.</p><br>
<p>Rancho El Tejón, a large 1843 Mexican land grant in the Tehachapi Mountains, was headquartered below the pass along Tejon Creek. Eventually, a road running straight north (from Elizabeth Lake), across westernmost Antelope Valley, and then over this Tejon Pass evolved. This route to the pass diverted from the El Camino Viejo at Elisabeth Lake, and from 1849 to before 1854 it was the main road connecting the southern part of the state to the trail along the eastern side of the San Joaquin Valley to the goldfields to the north.</p><br>
<h3>New route established</h3><br>
<p>In 1853, the road which used the Old Tejon Pass was surveyed by Robert Stockton Williamson of the USA Army for suitability as a rail-bed for the planned transcontinental railroad into California. It was found wanting. The commander of the expedition particularly found the wagon road over the pass to be "one of the worst" he had ever seen. He much preferred the Grapevine Canyon route, a much better road further west. Williamson scouted it and found it would be far more suitable for rail lines and wagons if the bulk of the traffic henceforth went that way. The name "Tejon" was transferred west to the "Fort Tejon Pass," an integral part of the Stockton – Los Angeles Road, which was established through Grapevine Canyon. From then on, the old pass was used less and less; and eventually lost its designation on official maps. Afterward, Fort Tejon was abandoned, and the "Fort" was eventually dropped from the pass&#39; name, becoming simply, the Tejon Pass as it is known today.</p><br>

<p>Christie Island is an island in the Mergui Archipelago and the southernmost point of Burma . It lies at the southern end of the archipelago 18 km to the NNE of Ko Surin Nuea, and the Thai-Burmese oceanic border is located between these two islands.</p><br>
<p>Christie Island is 4.6 km long and has several peaks it covered with thick forest. The tallest is 325 meters high. Murray Island and Sanders Island are small rocky islets off its southern shores. Christie Island is part of the Alladin Islands subgroup.</p><br>
<h2>Shooting incidents in 1998</h2><br>
<p>In May 1998, Colonel Zaw Min, landed on Christie Island and found 59 people living there to gather wood and bamboo, in violation of Burmese law. General Than Shwe ordered they were to be "eliminated" and all were subsequently murdered.</p><br>
<p>A few days later, Burmese troops from the same base captured a Thai fishing boat that had strayed close to Christie Island. The 22 fishermen on board were shot and buried on the island.</p><br>
<p>The Chagodoshcha  is a river in Boksitogorsky District of Leningrad Oblast and in Chagodoshchensky, Babayevsky, and Ustyuzhensky Districts of Vologda Oblast in Russia. It is a left tributary of the Mologa River. It is 242 km long, and the area of its basin 9,680 km&sup2;. The principal tributaries are the Lid , the Pes , and the Vnina .</p><br>
<p>The source of Chagodoshcha lies in the southeast of Leningrad Oblast, south of the town of Pikalyovo. The river flows in the general direction southeast and enters Vologda Oblast, where it accepts the Goryun from the left. In Vologda Oblast, the Chagodoshcha turns east and accepts the Lid from the left, and, right upstream from the settlement of Chagoda, the Pes from the right. The urban-type settlement of Chagoda is located on both banks of the Chagodoshcha. The river crosses Chagodoshchensky District from the west to the east, and subsequently runs at the border between Babayevsky (north) and Ustyuzhensky (south) Districts, turns northeast and enters Babayevsky District where it accepts the Vnina from the left. It then turns southeast and enters Ustyuzhensky District. The mouth of the Chagodoshcha is in the settlement of Imeni Zhelyabova.</p><br>
<p>The river basin of the Chagodoshcha comprises the eastern part of Boksitogorsky District of Leningrad Oblast, the northeastern part of Khvoyninsky District of Novgorod Oblast, as well as the whole area of Chagodoshchensky District, the south of Babayevsky District, and minor areas in Ustyuzhensky District, all of Vologda Oblast.</p><br>
<p>Both Chagodoshchensky District and its center, the urban-type settlement of Chagoda, are named after the river.</p><br>
<p>A big portion of the lower course of the Chagodoshcha, downstream of the mouth of the Goryun River, belongs to Tikhvinskaya water system, one of the waterways constructed in the early 19th century to connect the river basins of the Volga and the Neva. Currently, it is not used for any commercial navigation.</p><br>
<p>Whitehill Loch , previously known as Hillhouse Loch was a freshwater loch in the East Ayrshire Council Area, now drained, near Galston, in the Parish of Riccarton, lying in a glacial Kettle Hole.</p><br>
<h2>The loch</h2><br>
<p>Whitehill Loch was one of several small lochs within the Parish of Galston, lying within a detached portion of the Parish of Riccarton, Ayrshire.</p><br>
<h3>Cartographic evidence</h3><br>
<p>Blaeus Atlas of Scotland, 1654 shows a Hilhos Loch&#39; lying between Hilhous (Hillhouse) and Whythil (Whitehill) in the baillary of Kyle, with a single outflow running into the Little Sorn Burn near Little Sorn. The estate policies of Cessnock and Carnell are shown to the west of the roughly circular loch. In 1857 the dwelling at Lochhouse is shown with a major ditch running down from the site of the loch and the stump of the original outflow and confluence with the Little Sorn Burn. The 1895 6" OS map shows a Lochhouse, abandoned by 1910 and now demolished, on the course of a major drain running down from the site of the loch down towards the Little Sorn Burn. A track ran up to Hillhouse Farm from the dwelling at Lochhouse. The satellite image of ploughed fields shows anaerobic soil markings typical of loch beds, etc.</p><br>
<p>The loch shore formed part of the boundary of the Parish of Riccarton. The 1971 OS map indicates the remnants of the loch as an enclosed marshy area, probably that retained for curling, drained through ditches leading down to the Little Sorn Burn.</p><br>
<h2>Uses</h2><br>
<p>Curling is recorded on Whitehill Loch, namely Loudoun v Tarbolton, on 25 February 1830. Craigmill Mill was located further down the Cessnock Water but does not appear to have been powered by the loch&#39;s waters.</p><br>
<h2>Micro-history</h2><br>
<p>The loch was drained for agriculture well before the nearby lochs of Bruntwood and Brown, last being recorded clearly circa 1654. The loch was drained through a culvert that was later converted to a pipe.</p><br>

<p>Mineoka Mountain District is an area in the Bōsō Hill Range in the southern part of Chiba Prefecture. The Mineoka Mountain District runs along an east-west line across the southern part of the Bōsō Peninsula from the southern bank of the Kamo River in Kamogawa, facing the Pacific Ocean, to the Sakuma District of Kyonan, facing Tokyo Bay. The highest peak in the mountain district is at Mount Atago 408.2 m Mineoka is formed from two kanji characters: the first "嶺", meaning peak or summit and the second "岡" meaning mount or hill.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>The area is noted for its numerous landslides, particularly in Kamogawa. The Mineoka Mountain District is composed of igneous rocks such as serpentinite, basalt, and granite; mudstone is also found in great quantity. Shale from the mountain district was used extensively in the region to make tools during the Japanese Paleolithic.</p><br>
<h2>Jurisdictions</h2><br>
<p>The Mineoka Mountain District crosses five jurisdictions in Chiba Prefecture.</p><br>
<p>Minamibōsō</p><br>
<p>Kamogawa</p><br>
<p>Tateyama</p><br>
<p>Kyonan</p><br>
<p>Futtsu</p><br>
<h2>Prominent mountains</h2><br>
<p>Mount Atago</p><br>
<p>Mount Karasuba</p><br>
<p>Mount Nokogiri</p><br>
<p>Mount Tomi</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Early history</h3><br>
<p>Historically the Mineoka Mountain District was part of Awa Province and the southern part of Kazusa Province in pre-modern Japan. Numerous shrines and temples were constructed as early as the Nara period, and many of them remain active to this day. Under the Ritsuryō system of Nara-period Japan it is thought the area was used for extensive pasture land for horses. During the Sengoku period these small-scale ranches were revived by the Satomi clan, a powerful clan based in Awa Province.</p><br>
<h3>Later history</h3><br>
<p>Minamoto no Yoshitsune&#39;s gunki monogatari war tale, the Gikeiki mentions the landing of a boat party on Cape Sunosaki at the southern end of the Mineoka Mountain District.</p><br>
<p>The Tokugawa Shogunate took direct control of the Mineoka pasture land, which lies between present-day Minamibōsō and Kamogawa. As a result of the Edicts on Compassion for Living Things promulgated by Tokugawa Tsunayoshi&#39;s (1646 – 1709), the use of horses throughout Japan was deemphasized. The Mineoka Mountain District was also badly hit by the 1703 Genroku earthquake. As a result, the Tokugawa shogunate divided the area into five small-scale ranches, which were used to produce dairy products, an industry that continues to this day.</p><br>
<h3>Modern history</h3><br>
<p>The relative inaccessibility of the district, as well as its proximity to the capitol in Tokyo, led to the construction of military facilities at Mount Atago during World War II. The summit was confiscated by the United States Air Force, but was returned to the Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF). It is now home to the strategically important JASDF Mineokayama Sub-Base.</p><br>
<h2>In literature</h2><br>
<p>Tomi-san in the Mineoka Mountain District is the setting for Kyokutei Bakin&#39;s 106 volume epic novel Nansō Satomi Hakkenden (南總里見八犬傳), published late in the Edo period between 1814 and 1842.</p><br>
<h2>Notable places</h2><br>
<p>Mount Tomi Prefectural Park, rich with broad-leaved trees, including castanopsis, live oak, camellia, as well as large stands of Japanese cedar.</p><br>
<p>The sprawling Nihon-ji temple complex, home to two Daibutsu sculptures, accessible by the Nokogiriyama Ropeway.</p><br>
<p>Views of the Uraga Channel from Cape Myōgane.</p><br>
<p>Sunosaki Lighthouse, Sunosaki Shrine, and Yōrō-ji on Cape Sunosaki.</p><br>
<h2>Transportation</h2><br>
<p>The Mineoka Mountain District is accessible by national and prefectural roads, several bus lines, and two JR East railway lines: the JR East Uchibō Line and the JR East Sotobō Line.</p><br>
<h2>Hiking</h2><br>
<p>The Mineoka Mountain District is a popular hiking destination. Most of the mountains in the district can be climbed within a day. Mount Atago, however, can only be visited with permission due to the presence of the JASDF Mineokayama Sub-Base.</p><br>

<p>The Hogg Building was known as the Armor Building during the design process and the Great Southern Building when it opened in March 1921. Charles Erwin Barglebaugh and Lloyd R. Whitson designed the eight-story, Sullivan-inspired building. The ground floor was used as a showroom for automobiles, while the other stories were dedicated to office space. It was constructed of concrete with reinforced steel, thus eliminating the need for a large number of piers. The building is also characterized by a great number of windows, covering much of the outer facing. Ornamentation marks the tops of the seventh and first floors.</p><br>
<p>William Clifford Hogg, the eldest son of former Texas Governor Jim Hogg, used the eighth-floor penthouse to manage Hogg Brothers Company and the familys philanthropic projects. In the 1920s, Hoggs workspace was, "surrounded by a roof garden lavishly abloom with shrubs and flowers, in a suite of elegantly furnished rooms that included an oval dining room, a kitchen, a living room, and a guest bedroom as well as offices." He decorated the penthouse with his collection of artwork by Frederic Remington. The Hogg family used the penthouse as a business office until 1941.</p><br>
<p>In the early 1990s, developer Randall Davis converted the retail and office building into seventy-nine loft apartments. Davis opened the refurbished building as the Hogg Palace Lofts in the fall of 1995, and it was already fully leased by the end of that year.</p><br>

<p>Whittemore House  is an historic building located at 1526 New Hampshire Avenue, N.W., in the Dupont Circle neighborhood of Washington, D.C. The former private residence, whose previous occupants include a musician, several politicians, and a mountain explorer, now serves as a historic house museum and headquarters of the Woman&#39;s National Democratic Club .</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Shingle style home was designed by local architect Harvey L. Page in 1892 and completed two years later. The original owner was opera singer Sarah Adams Whittemore, the daughter of Reverend Henry Adams, a descendant of President John Adams.</p><br>
<p>In addition to Whittemore, past occupants include Senator John F. Dryden (1903), railroad entrepreneur and chairman of the Isthmian Canal Commission Theodore P. Shonts (1906-1907), and Representative John W. Weeks (1907-1911). In 1907, Canadian Rockies explorer Walter Wilcox inherited the house, and lived there from 1911 to 1926. The following year the home was purchased by the WNDC. In 1967, the addition of a ballroom on the Q Street side of the building was completed. The concrete Modernist expansion was designed by architect Nicholas Satterlee, whose work includes Holmes Run Acres.</p><br>
<p>The Whittemore House was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, and is designated as a contributing property to the Dupont Circle Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>Current usage</h2><br>
<p>In addition to serving as the WNDCs clubhouse, Whittemore House is home to the Womans National Democratic Club Museum, which features memorabilia from various Democratic political campaigns, photographs, antique furnishings from the Gilded Age, and art exhibits.</p><br>
<p>The Townsend Hotel, also known as the Hotel Townsend, is a historic hotel in Casper, Wyoming. It was renovated and expanded for government use in 2008-2009 and is now known as the Townsend Justice Center.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Townsend Hotel is a five-story brick edifice in the heart of downtown Casper, Wyoming. Although the first story has a square floorplan, the remaining floors have E-shaped layouts, originally allowing all of the 135 guest rooms to have exterior walls and windows. The front façade is made of cast stone, mixed red and burgundy bricks, and some plaster. The first two stories are grey cast stone, and the remaining stories are brick. The sides and back of the hotel reveal the exposed concrete infrastructure with a red brick infill, which has since been stained to match the front. Although double-hung windows were originally placed around the building, they have been replaced with their single-paned counterparts.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>On January 2, 2007, the building was purchased by the government of Natrona County. The building was renovated throughout 2008-2009 for use as a courthouse. A substantial addition was built on the buildings north side, with a mixed brick scheme echoing that of the hotels façade. In late 2009, the building was opened as the Townsend Justice Center. It now houses the district court offices and the clerk of county court, formerly located in the old courthouse across the street; along with the Natrona County Circuit Court, moved from the fifth floor of the Hall of Justice.</p><br>
<p>Remaining from the hotels glory days, the lobbys original marble staircase is still intact, although it simply stops at the ceiling. Some of the marble from the hotel&#39;s interior was re-purposed, and a ghost sign advertising the hotel was kept on the back of the building.</p><br>
<p>The Netherland Inn and Complex is a historic house museum located in Kingsport, Tennessee, United States. Built in 1802 to serve as a boat yard for salt distribution, the property was eventually sold, and in 1818 it became the Netherland Inn, serving travelers en route from Middle Tennessee to Western Kentucky. The inn and boatyard is the only place on the National Register of Historic Places that served as a stage stop and a boatyard.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building was originally built in 1802, and then expanded in 1808, by William King. King built it with the goal of creating a boatyard to ship the salt he produced. Eventually, the building would be sold in 1818 to Richard Netherland, who build Netherland as it exists today: a 3-story building with an inn and a tavern on Great Old Stage Road; the main route between Western Kentucky and Middle Tennessee. Notable people such as Andrew Jackson, Andrew Johnson and James Polk visited the inn. Prominent state legislator John Netherland, a son of Richard, grew up at the inn.</p><br>
<p>The inn stayed in the Netherland family until 1906, when it was acquired by H.C. and Nettie Cloud, who used it as a boarding house and their own home. In 1968, it was bought by the Netherland Inn Association, who preserved the building as a historic house museum.</p><br>
<h2>Today</h2><br>
<p>Today, the inn is an example of American frontier settlement, using documentation from the journals of Richard Netherland, and related resources, to develop its museum experience. The first floor is a tavern, the second, family quarters, and the third floor are guest rooms; all depicted as they would have been in during the early 19th-century. The majority of the original contents of the inn were destroyed during the American Civil War, however, selected pieces in the museum&#39;s collection are original.</p><br>
<p>The Byron Greenough Block or Lower H. H. Hay Block is an historic commercial building at Free and Cross Streets in downtown Portland, Maine. Built in 1848 and enlarged in 1919 to a design by John Calvin Stevens, it is one of the city&#39;s finer surviving Greek Revival commercial buildings. The block was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in March 1977.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Byron Greenough Block occupies a triangular parcel of land between Federal and Free Streets in downtown Portland. To its east is a pedestrian area that once carried Middle Street, running southeast from Federal to Free. The building is a four story masonry structure, built out of brick with granite trim. Its principal facade faces the pedestrian area, and is five bays wide, while a single bay marks the triangular point, while the more utilitarian southern facade, facing Free Street, is ten bays wide. The main facade has modern storefronts on the ground floor, with a framing of granite pilasters and lintels. Windows on the upper floors have granite sills and lintels, and there are a series of brick stringcourses (part of the original building cornice) between the third and fourth floors. The current cornice has brick dentil relief and a projecting wooden overhang.</p><br>
<p>The block was built in 1848 by Byron Greenough, who made his wealth in hatting and clothier, and ran his business here until 1856. The building notably escaped Portland&#39;s 1866 fire, and is consequently one of its few surviving Greek Revival commercial buildings. For many years its retail space on the ground floor housed the H.H. Hay drugstore. The architecture firm Stevens and Stevens designed and added the fourth floor.</p><br>
<p>The Bindoon-Julimar Important Bird Area is a fragmented 525 km tract of land in the northern Darling Ranges, of south-western Western Australia. It is about 5 km east of the town of Bindoon and 80 km north of Perth, on the edge of the wheatbelt. It lies between the Calingiri and Northern Swan Coastal Plain IBAs.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Site boundaries of the IBA are defined by blocks of native vegetation known or expected to support nesting and feeding black cockatoos in several reserves, on private land and a Defence Department training area. The native vegetation remains in good condition and there are few nest competitors such as galahs, corellas and feral honeybees. The area has a Mediterranean climate.</p><br>
<h2>Birds</h2><br>
<p>The site has been identified as an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because it supports at least 110 pairs of breeding short-billed black-cockatoos in both breeding and feeding habitat - the largest population of breeding birds in south-western Australia. The IBA also contains populations of biome-restricted red-capped parrots, rufous treecreepers, western spinebills, western thornbills and western yellow robins.</p><br>
<p>The Saaler Bodden forms the southwestern part of the Darss-Zingst Bodden Chain and lies east of the Fischland peninsula about 30 kilometres northeast of Rostock. Its average depth is around two metres, which restricts angling and the use of pleasure craft. It is a lagoon-like stretch of water known as a bodden, which is typical of this part of the Baltic coastline. South of the Saaler Bodden is the town of Ribnitz-Damgarten, which is divided into two by the mouth of the 72 kilometre long Recknitz river. This southern part of the bodden is called the Lake Ribnitz .</p><br>
<p>Apart from the Recknitz near Damgarten, the other streams that empty into the Ribnitzer See are the Klosterbach near Ribnitz and Körkwitzer Bach and Fischergraben near Körkwitz. A stream called the Saaler Bach (in its lower reaches known as the Ziegelgraben) discharges into the bodden near Saal.</p><br>
<p>To the northeast the Koppelstrom links this bodden to the next one in the chain, the Bodstedter Bodden. Two former channels to the Baltic Sea, the Permin and the Loop, silted up in the 14th century.</p><br>
<p>The water of the Saaler Bodden is weakly salty (1-3 permille).</p><br>
<p>Battery Steele  is a United States military fortification on Peaks Island, Portland, Maine in Casco Bay. Completed in 1942 as part of World War II, it is located on 14 acre on the oceanside area of the island, formerly part of the Peaks Island Military Reservation. It is named for Harry Lee Steele, who was a Coast Artillery officer during World War I. It was armed with two 16-inch MkIIMI guns and, with a 12-inch gun battery at Fort Levett on Cushing Island, replaced all previous heavy guns in the Harbor Defenses of Portland. It was built to protect Casco Bay, particularly Portland harbor, from Kennebunk to Popham Beach in Phippsburg. In 1995, after decades of non-use, the Peaks Island Land Preserve, a community land preservation group, formed to purchase the area and forever preserve it as a public space. On October 20, 2005, the property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Other coast defense structures on the island include fire control towers and the counterweight for a disappearing searchlight tower .</p><br>
<h2>Associated batteries</h2><br>
<p>Battery Steele was part of a comprehensive program begun in 1940 to replace obsolete coast defenses, many of which dated from the Endicott Program of 1885-1905. In the Harbor Defenses of Portland, the only large-caliber (8-inch or larger) pre-war battery still in use by 1944 was Battery Foote at Fort Levett, Cushing Island, casemated like Battery Steele to resist air attack and armed with two 12-inch guns on long-range carriages. Another two-gun 16-inch battery, Battery Construction Number (BCN) 101, was planned for the Cape Elizabeth Military Reservation near Two Lights State Park, but was cancelled as the threat to the US East Coast from surface ships was nearly non-existent by 1943.</p><br>
<p>Smaller batteries were also built during World War II. Three two-gun 6-inch batteries were built in Casco Bay, but only one of these was armed. The armed battery was Battery Cravens (BCN 203), also on Peaks Island, now part of a private residence. The other two were BCN 201 in Two Lights State Park and BCN 202 on Jewell Island. Older 6-inch gun batteries retained in service in Casco Bay included two two-gun batteries at Fort McKinley on Great Diamond Island and Fort Levett on Cushing Island. Three older 3-inch gun batteries were retained at Fort Williams near Portland Head Light, Fort Preble in South Portland, and Fort Lyon on Cow Island. Three new two-gun 3-inch batteries were constructed during World War II, on Peaks Island, Long Island, and Great Chebeague Island. Positions for a total of ten Anti-Motor Torpedo Boat (AMTB) batteries with 90 mm guns were constructed in Casco Bay. Each battery was authorized four 90 mm guns, two on fixed mounts and two on towed mounts; the actual number of guns on hand for each battery may have varied. The guns were dual-purpose, able to fire against air or surface targets. The batteries were at Long Island (2), Great Chebeague Island (1), Bailey Island (1), Peaks Island (2), Jewell Island (2), Fort Levett (1), and Fort Williams (1). All US coast defenses were abandoned and most of the guns scrapped shortly after World War II.</p><br>
<p>The Daugherty Furniture Building, also known as the J.R. Daugherty Company Building, is a former store located in Clinton, Tennessee. It sold furniture, appliances, hardware, flooring, and other household items, until its closure in 1985. The building was designed by architect Clem H. Meyers, and was constructed between the years 1938 and 1942. In 2010, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The furniture store was originally located in Fork Mountain, Tennessee, but was moved to Clinton in the late 1930s because of the population growth of Anderson County. More than 75,000 individuals had moved to the area in a two-year period, and the demand for household items was high. Daugherty Furniture Store served as the only "one-stop shop" for Anderson County residents. The store offered home delivery, with a fleet of delivery trucks. The third and fourth floors of the building served as apartments, which housed Oak Ridge workers and scientists in need of housing in a region running out of housing options. The business expanded into the nearby regions, and the main location served as a meeting place for local businessmen. The attention and popularity of the main location helped to develop the neighborhood of Market and Main Streets in Clinton.</p><br>
<p>The store was owned and operated by the family, and most of the employees were family members. Daughertys brothers, Leonard, Emmitt, and Laford, worked for the shop, with Leonard serving as a manager overseeing deliveries and purchases. Their sons, along with Daughertys sons, all worked at the store and remained working there until its closing in 1985. All employees were trained to be familiar with the store&#39;s merchandise, including demonstrating Singer sewing machines. Employees also provided repair services, both in-store and in the homes of customers. Many employees lived in the upstairs apartments, and Daugherty lived in the corner unit and oversaw the company until his death in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The original building was located in Fork Mountain, Tennessee, and was a simple one-story building. When Daugherty moved to Clinton in 1935, he rented two buildings across the street from where the current building stands. While planning to build a new location, he found inspiration in a building in Oak Ridge owned by Elza Gate. Gate&#39;s home, known as the Glenn Copeland House, was entirely faced in stone (except the roof). Daugherty would use Frank Gilbreath as an advisor on building his store; Gilbreath served as stonemason on the Glenn Copeland House.</p><br>
<p>When Daugherty began exploring options for building his store, his friends and colleagues advised him to avoid building a multi-story building. He hired architect Clem H. Meyer, who had designed Huntsville High School in Scott County, Tennessee. Oba Hill was also hired, who worked alongside Gilbreath on the stone work.</p><br>
<p>About 99,000 pounds of locally quarried stone was used on the buildings exterior, most which came from areas near the New River region of Morgan County and Scruggs Farm in Bethel. All of the stone was hand-chiseled and laid by Gilbreath and Sebastian Marie, another local stone cutter. When the building was complete, in 1942, it was the largest commercial building in Clinton, along with Magnet Mills, Inc.</p><br>
<p>The Daugherty Furniture Building doesnt touch on traditional architectural styles, but serves as an example of vernacular architecture, by using local construction methods and materials. The buildings interior, from the fourth floor to the basement, looks like an inverted step pyramid. The load bearing walls are stair-stepped, therefor the fifth floor walls are thinner than those in the basement; the basement walls are 26 inches thick, with the fifth floor being 12 inches. The architecture of the building was also influenced by Meyers work on Huntsville High School, using techniques found in that project. Examples include the rectangular shape, stone exterior, and rectangular steel windows. The design is also minimalistic, reflecting the wartime emphasis on simplicity seen in design during the period.</p><br>
<p>The Königsstuhl  is the best-known chalk cliff on the Stubbenkammer in the Jasmund National Park on the Baltic Sea island of Rügen. It lies at.</p><br>
<p>In 2004 the Königsstuhl was incorporated into the terrain of the Königsstuhl National Park Centre. It can be reached along a cliff top path, 11 kilometres long in total, that runs from Sassnitz to Lohme, or from the large car park in Hagen (in the municipality of Lohme) 3 km away. Since 2004, entry to the National Park Centre and hence access to the Königsstuhl has been subject to a charge.</p><br>
<p>The narrow yet massive granite steps, that lead to the plateau on the Königsstuhl, 200 m² in area, lie over the site of what is suspected to be a Bronze Age barrow. From the plateau is a sweeping view of the Baltic Sea. The Königsstuhl itself is best seen from the viewing point of Victoria View (Victoria-Sicht) to the south.</p><br>
<p>There is a legend that the name Königsstuhl ("King&#39;s Chair") goes back to an event in 1715 when the Swedish king, Charles XII is supposed to have commanded a sea battle against the Danes from this spot. The battle tired the ruler so much, such that he needed to take a chair.</p><br>
<p>However, the name Königsstuhl was used in a travel report by the vicar, Rhenan, in 1586, who had been tasked by the Pomeranian duke to find mineral springs, thus it is clear that it had been named much earlier.</p><br>
<p>According to a legend, the name is actually derived from a custom whereby in ancient times the person elected king was the first to climb the cliffs from the sea and sit in the chair on the top.</p><br>
<p>The Emery School is an historic former school building at 116 Hill Street in Biddeford, Maine. Built in 1912-13 to a design by Miller & Mayo of Portland, it is historically significant for its role the city&#39;s education, and architecturally as a fine example of a "modern" elementary school building of the period. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 18, 2011. The building has been converted to residential housing units.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Emery School building is located south of Biddeford&#39;s main business district, on a lot bounded by Hill, Birch, and Summer Streets. It is a two-story brick structure, trimmed in cast stone and granite, facing south toward Birch Street, separated by a paved parking area. The main facade is symmetrically arranged, nine bays wide, with two slightly-projecting entrance pavilions set one bay in from the ends. These pavilions are framed by rusticated brick pilasters with a stone cartouche at the top of the second floor. The entrances are set in cast stone surrounds consisting of pilasters supporting a modillioned cornice supported by scrolled brackets. Belt courses of stone demarcate the floors, and the cornice of the main hipped roof is of pressed metal.</p><br>
<p>The Emery School was built in 1912-13 as part of a drive by the city to modernize its school facilities. Designed in the Colonial Revival style by the Portland firm of Miller & Mayo, it adhered to guidelines published by the state in 1904 for the required properties of elementary school buildings, which included detailed prescriptions for the use of materials and layout and size of classrooms, and replaced four smaller elementary schools. The school was used by the city until 1993, and served until 2007 as a childhood development center operated by a local Catholic church. The building has since been converted into residences.</p><br>
