<p>Mount Mitoku, is a mountain located in Misasa, Tottori Prefecture. Mount Mitoku has an elevation of 900 m. Mount Mitoku was known from ancient times as a place of both religious significance and scenic beauty. The mountain is home to Sanbutsu-ji, a historically significant temple designated an Important Treasure of Japan in 1952.</p><br>
<h2>Etymology</h2><br>
<p>The name of Mount Mitoku in Japanese is formed from two kanji. The first, means "three" and the second, means "virtue". Santoku therefore refers to the three primary virtues of Buddhism: wisdom, renunciation, and judgement. Mount Mitoku was historically also written as santoku in Japanese, meaning three and meaning beautiful, but the pronunciation remained the same.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Mount Mitoku was formed from a volcanic eruption approximately 15 million years ago in the Pleistocene period. The layers of granite and other conglomerates at the base of the mountain were transformed by a volcano into large pyroxene deposits. Mount Mitoku eroded over time by wind and rain. Erosion on the southern side of the mountain created steep cliffs of 40 m to 60 m. Two rivers emerge from the slopes of Mount Mitoku: the Kotori River, which forms a deep valley, and one small unnamed river. The steep slopes of Mount Mitoku have created three waterfalls: namely, the Fudō, the Mahebi, and the Ryūtokuin. As the waterfalls are located deep in the primeval forest of Mount Mitoku, they are inaccessible to hikers.</p><br>
<h2>Flora</h2><br>
<p>Mount Dōgo features outstanding examples of numerous trees, including the:</p><br>
<p>Shiba chestnut</p><br>
<p>Kousa Dogwood</p><br>
<h3>Transportation</h3><br>
<p>Mount Dōgo can be accessed by bus from the Kurayoshi Station on the JR West Sanin Main Line. The mountain can be accessed from the bus stop at the entrance at Sanbutsu-ji, 40 minutes from Kurayoshi Station. The ascent to Sanbuts-ji is very steep, and entrance to buildings in the temple complex are a 40 to 50 minute hike from the foot of the mountain.</p><br>
<h2>Surrounding area</h2><br>
<p>Mount Mitoku is 4.5 miles from the Misasa Onsen. Areas to the east and south of Mount Mitoku are mountainous, deeply forested, and sparsely populated.</p><br>
<p>Westbrook, a large rambling house of many gables and tall chimneys on the South Shore of Long Island, lies on the west bank of the Connetquot River.</p><br>
<p>The estate has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1973 as a national historic district.</p><br>
<h2>House</h2><br>
<p>Westbrook was designed in 1886 for William Bayard Cutting (1850-1912) by the architect Charles C. Haight in the Tudor style. Cutting had bought the estate it was to sit on from George L. Lorillard in 1884.</p><br>
<p>Scottish heather was shipped to provide thatch for the gate house, which remains at the corner of Montauk Highway and Great River Road. In 1895 Cutting and his brother laid out a golf course at Westbrook, known to be the first private golf course in the United States.</p><br>
<p>The house and its extensive landscaped grounds, now a state park called the Bayard-Cutting Arboretum, are open to the public, having been given to the people of Long Island by Bayard Cutting&#39;s widow and daughter "to provide an oasis of beauty and quiet for the pleasure, rest, and refreshment of those who delight in outdoor beauty; and to bring about a greater appreciation and understanding of the value and importance of informal planting."</p><br>
<p>An early trustee of the Bayard-Cutting Arboretum was Lady Lindsay, born Elizabeth Sherman Hoyt, on Centre Island, Long Island. She was a lifelong friend of the Cuttings and a professionally trained landscape architect who worked for a time for the great American gardener Beatrix Farrand, who had a commission at Westbrook at the beginning of her career. Cutting&#39;s daughter, Olivia James, published in 1960, “The Letters of Elizabeth Sherman Lindsay.” Lindsay was married to the British Ambassador to the United States (1930–39), Sir Ronald Lindsay.</p><br>
<h2>Activities and services</h2><br>
<p>At Westbook there is a restaurant, a gift shop, nature trails, and recreational programs.</p><br>
<h2>Films with scenes shot at Westbrook</h2><br>
<p>1993: The Age of Innocence, directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Winona Ryder, Michelle Pfeiffer and Joanne Woodward. Based on the 1920 novel by Edith Wharton. (Archery/Lawn Party scene.)</p><br>
<p>Shades Mountain is a cuesta in Jefferson County, Alabama, United States. The mountain is bordered by Shades Crest Road to the west, Highway 150 to the south, Highway 280 to the east and Shades Creek to the north. It includes all of the neighborhood of Bluff Park in Hoover, where it summits, as well as portions of the cities of Homewood, Vestavia Hills and Mountain Brook.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>The rocks of Shades Mountain including the "Shades Sandstone" can be viewed readily from Moss Rock Preserve in Hoover, on the north side of Hurricane Creek.</p><br>
<h2>Landmarks</h2><br>
<p>There is a Lovers Leap, a rock outcropping on Shades Crest Road and Brock Gap where Shades Mountain was blasted to make way for rail access. There is also the locally-known Tip Top Grill which has a view overlooking much of the area.</p><br>
<p>The Nicholas Carriger Estate  is a collection of buildings located in Sonoma, California, United States. The estate consists of three buildings: the main house built in 1847, a small house, which is a replica of the main house, built in 1860, and a winery, built in 1875. The main house and the Little Carriger house fall in the architectural Greek revival style. There also is a locally quarried "candy rock" stone small building next to the main house that may have been used as an ice house. The everflowing Yulupa Spring, which supplied water to the houses and is still flowing, is a short walk along a hillside pathway from the main house. In 1979 the estate was designated a California Historical Landmark, and in 2001, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Nicholas Carriger built the property after traveling west with his family as a settler of California. A member of the United States Army, Carriager was welcomed to the area by Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo. Vallejo and Carriger would remain lifelong friends. Carriager chose his estate property based on the scenery and the good drainage of the area. He purchased the property, 1,000 acres, from Vallejo. It was on this land that Carriger was reportedly the first American to grow wine grapes in Sonoma Valley. Cattle, purchased from Vallejo, also grazed the property. After an absence to participate in the gold rush, Carriger returned after great success finding gold, to complete the main house in 1850. In 1875, he began construction of his winery building with a large celebration where he laid the cornerstone and a box containing personal items relating to the Carriger family and Sonoma. Nicholas Carriger died in 1885 at his home and is buried with family and other notable pioneers of Sonoma at the Mountain Cemetery in Sonoma, California. After the death of his wife, Mary Ann Wardlow Carriger, in 1891, the property remained in the Carriger family until sold by daughter Levisa Carriger Lewis.</p><br>
<p>The estate was purchased in 2012 and is currently undergoing extensive restoration to preserve this historically important Sonoma landmark.</p><br>
<p>The Unity Chapel is located in town of Wyoming in Iowa County, Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Unity Chapel was designed in Joseph Lyman Silsbees Chicago architectural office in 1886. Silsbee was one of the leading practitioners of Shingle style architecture in the Midwest and designed the chapel as a simple execution of this style. Although not officially in the employ of Silsbee, eighteen-year-old Frank Lloyd Wright "looked after the interior". This makes the chapel Wrights earliest known work. The chapel was designed for Wright&#39;s uncle, Jenkin Lloyd Jones, who had commissioned Silsbee to design his All Souls Church in Chicago the previous year. After Unity Chapel was built, Wright moved to Chicago and joined the employ of Silsbee.</p><br>
<p>The building was recognized by the National Park Service with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places on July 18, 1974.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The chapel is a small building shaped in a reversed "L&quot the short leg points north and the long leg points east. The short leg operated as an entryway and the long leg is the main chapel hall. The hipped roof is steeply-pitched and features a belfry at the intersection of the gables. The belfry is square with a bell-cast hipped roof. Each of its four sides has a semi-circular arched opening. Consistent with Shingle style design architecture, a layer of wood shingles covers both the roof and the exterior walls. Unity Chapel rests on a rock-faced stone foundation. Double-hung windows in groups of three are found on the north, south, and west walls. The upper sash has twelve lights and the lower sash is one large pane.</p><br>
<p>The chapel graveyard holds the remains of several relatives of Wright. Wright himself was originally buried there, but his wife later moved the remains to Taliesin West in Arizona.</p><br>
<p>Sapthagiri which is also called Tirumala Hill is situated in hill town of Tirumala, near Tirupati in the Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh, India. This hill is 853 m above sea level and is about 10.33 square miles in area. It comprises seven peaks, representing the seven heads of Adisesha, thus earning the name Seshachalam. The seven peaks are called Seshadri, Neeladri, Garudadri, Anjanadri, Vrushabhadri, Narayanadri, and Venkatadri. The hill is famous for the famous and one of the richest Hindu deity Venketeswaraswamy temple. The temple is on Venkatadri , the seventh peak, and is also known as the "Temple of Seven Hills". The presiding deity of the temple is Lord Venkateswara, a form of the Hindu god Vishnu. Venkateswara is known by other names: Balaji, Govinda, and Srinivasa. The temple lies on the southern banks of Sri Swami Pushkarini, a holy water tank. The temple complex comprises a traditional temple building, with a number of modern queue and pilgrim lodging sites.</p><br>
<h2>Seven Hills</h2><br>
<p>The seven hills, also called Saptagiri, represent the Saptarishi (seven sages). They sometimes called the Sapathagiri. Hence the Lord is named Saptagirinivasa. The following are the seven hills:</p><br>
<p>Vrushabhadri – Hill of Nandi, the vahana of Lord Shiva)</p><br>
<p>Anjanadri – Hill of Lord Hanuman. it is said to be birthplace of lord Hanuman.</p><br>
<p>Neeladri – Hill of Neela Devi – It is believed that hair offered by the devotees is accepted by Neela Devi. It is because of boon granted by Lord Venkateswara to Neela Devi.</p><br>
<p>Garudadri or Garudachalam – Hill of Garuda, the vahana of Lord Vishnu</p><br>
<p>Seshadri or Seshachalam – Hill of Sesha, the dasa of Lord Vishnu</p><br>
<p>Naraynadri– Hill of Narada Muni</p><br>
<p>Venkatadri – Hill of Lord Venkateswara</p><br>
<p>Burton Court is a Grade II* listed English country manor house in the Parish of Eardisland, southwest of Leominster, Herefordshire, England. The manor dates to at least the 11th century and the current house to the early 14th and 18th century. It lies along the A44 road, about 1 mi south of Eardisland in the northern part of the hamlet of Lower Burton. It is now run as a Herefordshire wedding and private hire venue. Burton Court featured in Simon Jenkinss book Englands Thousand Best Houses.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The name Burton is believed to be of Saxon origin, derived from Burh and ton, meaning "fortified dwelling place". The manor of Burton is mentioned in the Domesday Book, with the name Beuretune, where it was valued at 2 "hydes". The manor was documented during the reign of Edward III in 1331; Henry of Monmouth, later to become Henry V, possibly stationed his troops there while surveying the movements of Owain Glyndŵr, the last Welshman to hold the title Prince of Wales.</p><br>
<p>The house is associated with the St. Owens (until 1427), Downtons (through marriage), Cotes, Crofts, Jervase Smith (d. 1627),</p><br>
<p>Brewsters (mid-late 17th century until 1865), and Clowes (mid 19th and mid-20th centuries). A notable Brewster was Dr. William Brewster (fl.1665), a scholar with a considerable collection of books, now housed in Hereford Cathedral. In 1960, it was bought by Lt Cmdr Simpson and has been home to the Simpson family since.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and fittings</h2><br>
<p>Burke&#39;s Guide to Country Houses: Herefordshire, Shropshire, Warwickshire, Worcestershire (1978) mentions that the house was partly rebuilt in the 18th century, probably for William Matthews. His grandson, John Matthews, commissioned James Wyatt to construct Belmont House. However, this is confusing, given that the Brewster family were known to have occupied the estate until 1865.</p><br>
<p>Burton Court contains architectural pieces from the Norman, Medieval, Regency and Victorian periods. The hall dates to the early 14th century, but much of the house remaining today was added in the 18th century. Remodeling occurred in 1808, which was followed by restorations in 1865, and also in 1912 when the architect Clough Williams-Ellis added the Tudor Revival front. Windows of note are a two-storey bay and an elliptically shaped one. Additional exterior elements are stone mullioning, Doric pilasters, and a moulded architrave. Inside, there are purlins, an overdoor, and a cantilevered stair.</p><br>
<p>The great hall&#39;s dimensions are 35 ft long, 24 ft wide, and 32 ft in height. A railway room contains a working model railway. There are collections of ship models, natural history items, and European and Oriental costumes and curios. The furnishings are mainly of the Victoria era.</p><br>
<h2>Grounds</h2><br>
<p>Situated in an elevated position overlooking the Herefordshire countryside, a mile south of the River Arrow, the house was built on the site of an ancient camp. A 72 ft deep well is on the property, as well as symmetrical oak trees.</p><br>

<p>Waubee Lake  is a small freshwater lake situated 2 miles  southeast of Milford, Kosciusko County, Indiana, United States.</p><br>
<p>Waubee is typical in structure of natural lakes of the glaciated portions of the upper Midwest. Like other lakes in the general area, Waubee is lined with vacation homes and year-round residences. Part of the extreme upper west shore is void of residences and borders farm land. A boat ramp can be found on the lake&#39;s upper east shore.</p><br>
<p>Waubee Lake is also home to Camp Alexander Mack, a Christian Camp, Conference, and Retreat Center operated by the Church of the Brethren.</p><br>
<p>The name Waubee is believed to have come from a common name, Wau-Be, of the Potawatomi Indians who had a camp where now stands but no authority exists for this claim.</p><br>
<p>The USGS/GNIS has Waubee Lake incorrectly spelled as Wabee Lake. A name change request has been submitted to the United States Geographical Survey and is under review as of February 2012.</p><br>
<p>The White Hill is a hill rising 365 ft which lies to the west of the town of Monmouth, South Wales and north of Wonastow. It is also a forested area, known as Whitehill Wood.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>At the start of the 20th Century the White Hill had an abundance of blackthorn and cherry trees. In the spring the hedgerows and trees would blossom so the hill would be covered in a mass of white - hence the White Hill. During the 20th century the Forestry Commission took over management of the woods and gradually blossoming trees and hedgerows have been replaced with faster growing evergreen trees.</p><br>
<h3>Nature</h3><br>
<p>The hill is home to a herd of approximately 40 fallow deer, as well as badgers, foxes and a host of smaller mammals that provide ample prey for the buzzards and kestrels. In the summer adders and grass snakes can be seen among the wood piles.</p><br>
<h3>Walking</h3><br>
<p>As well as a circular Forestry Commission right of way, Offa&#39;s Dyke runs along the foothills of the White Hill.</p><br>
<h3>Woods</h3><br>
<p>The White Hill is covered with approximately 20 small woods and groves.</p><br>

<p>Mount Sentsū, also known in English as Sentsūzan, is a mountain located on the border of Nichinan, Tottori Prefecture and Okuizumo, Shimane Prefecture. Mount Sentsū has an elevation of 1,142 m and is one of the highest peaks in the Chūgoku Mountain Range and part of the Hiba-Dogo-Taishaku Quasi-National Park. Mount Sentsū was historically on the border of the ancient provinces of Hōki Province and Izumo Province. The base of Mount Sentsū is primarily composed of granite. This granite is a rich source of iron sand, and the mountain was historically known as a source for this material.</p><br>
<h2>Etymology</h2><br>
<p>The name of Mount Sentsū in Japanese is formed from two kanji. The first, means "boat" and the second, means "to cross".</p><br>
<h2>Association with Susanoo legend</h2><br>
<p>According to the Kojiki, Mount Sentsū is the scene of the legendary battle between Susanoo and Yamata no Orochi. Yamata no Orochi, an 8-headed and 8-tailed Japanese dragon, tormented residents of the Izumo area. Susanoo, the Shinto god of the sea and storms, slew Yamata no Orochi at the foot of Mount Sentsū, and his blood flowed into the Hi River, which is a probable reference to the Hino River of Tottori Province. Yamata no Orochi&#39;s corpse produced Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, a Japanese sword and one of three Imperial Regalia of Japan that legitimate the rule of the Emperor. Susanoo then presented the sword to his sister, the Sun Goddess Amaterasu, who passed it to her descendants, the Imperial family of Japan.</p><br>
<h2>Transportation</h2><br>
<p>Mount Sentsū is a popular hiking destination. It is accessible from the Shōyama Station in Nichinan via the JR West Hakubi Line.</p><br>
<p>The David W. and Jane Curtis House is a very intact Queen Anne-styled house and matching carriage house built in 1885 in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin, United States. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<p>David Whitney Curtis moved from Vermont to Jefferson in 1845 with his father. He helped his father farm, attended school, and apprenticed as a mason. In 1860 he married Miss Jane Howard of Hebron. In 1862 he enlisted in the Union army and served in the Civil War. After the war he and partner Oscar Cornish started a lumber and produce business. In 1868 he invented the Curtis rectangular churn and the partnership began manufacturing them in Fort Atkinson. Gradually the firm expanded to make and sell a full line of dairy and creamery supplies. In 1878 D.W. was appointed as an aid to Governor Smith. He also served important roles in the Wisconsin Dairymen&#39;s Association and the Agricultural Society.</p><br>
<p>Around 1885 David and Jane had Henry C. Koch of Milwaukee design the house pictured. The style is Queen Anne, at that time considered more progressive and comfortable than the Carpenter Gothic and Italianate styles that preceded it. Its limestone foundation supports frame walls covered with cedar siding. Typical of Queen Anne, the gable peaks are decorated with fish-scale shingles and sunburst patterns. The gable ends are framed in bargeboards. Some of the windows are multi-pane leaded glass. The current porch on the south was built around 1900, replacing the original porch which was smaller and more elaborate with one in the simpler style of late Queen Anne. Inside, the first floor has a side-hall plan, with a marble fireplace in the living room and pocket doors between some rooms. Upstairs are bedrooms and a bathroom.</p><br>
<p>The two-story carriage house was also built in 1885. It is simple and rectangular, but decorated to match the house, with multi-pane windows and fish-scale shingles in the gables framed by barge-boards. Both house and carriage house are very intact, little changed from 1885.</p><br>
<p>Curtiss patented churn was given the highest award at 1893 Worlds Fair in Chicago. In 1898 his company was worth $5,000,000. He lived in the house until his death in 1919.</p><br>
<p>After D.W.&#39;s death, the house and business interests passed to his wife Jane and their son Harry. By then the company was called Creamery Package Manufacturing Company, and Harry kept it running well. After Harry died in 1938 and his wife Mary in 1945, their daughter Lucile lived in the house. After she died, it passed to her daughter Mary D. Gates in 1966. In 1971, after a legal battle, it left the family, sold to Jerry and Pat Landowski.</p><br>
<p>The Benjamin Boorman House is a historic 19th century residence located at 211 North Union Street in Mauston, Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 4, 1976.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The house was built by English immigrant Benjamin Boorman for himself and his first wife Elizabeth Boorman. After her death in 1874, Benjamin Boorman remarried the following year on July 19, 1875, marrying Margaret A. Hall. Two children were born: George dying in infancy; and Rob Roy. Margaret was a sister of Benjamins brother Clarence Boormans wife.</p><br>
<p>After Benjamin Boorman&#39;s death, the house was owned by Jeff T. Heath, Tom Powers, John Tremain, and Francis Gardner.</p><br>
<p>The Juneau County Historical Society was formed at the house in 1963. In 1987, the society purchased the house from Edward W. Pierce and transformed it into a historic house museum.</p><br>
<p>The Ca n&#39;Oliver Iberian settlement is a very large Iberian settlement found in the Collserola mountain range, in the territory formerly known as Laietania, in present-day Cerdanyola del Vallès. It is an archaeological site that was inhabited between the 6th century and 50 BC and, later on, in the Middle Ages.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The settlement was inhabited during the time of the Iberians. Initially it was just rows of simple houses grouped together and built within a large plot of land. During the full Iberian period, the houses grew larger and diversified, and the settlement was at its most prosperous with the construction of an access road, moat, and a field of silos for storing leftover farm products, which were later sold to other Mediterranean towns.</p><br>
<p>The settlement was destroyed at the end of the 3rd or the beginning of the 2nd century BC, a result of the Punic Wars (218-206 BC), but it was rebuilt during the end of the Iberian period. Years later, with the arrival of the new territorial organisation imposed by the Romans, the Iberians abandoned the settlement for good.</p><br>
<p>During the 9th and 10th centuries, in the high Middle Ages, the settlement was once again inhabited, taking advantage of some of the Iberian buildings and silos.</p><br>
<h2>Museumization</h2><br>
<p>On 1 October 2010, the Ca n’Oliver Iberian Settlement and Museum was opened, located in the settlements old quarry, which puts on display a wider selection of the large volume objects recovered during excavations and places the settlement on The Route of the Iberians&#39;, a cultural tourism project of the Archaeological Museum of Catalonia intended to disseminate Iberian culture in Catalonia.</p><br>
<p>The Pevely Dairy Company Plant was a former factory complex of the Pevely Dairy Company in St. Louis, Missouri, located at 1001 South Grand Boulevard and 3626 Chouteau Avenue. The eight-acre property included three contributing buildings and one contributing object. While in operation, the plant operated as a dairy production facility, a stable for horses for wagon delivery of milk, the company&#39;s headquarters, and a soda fountain. The company itself was owned and operated by the Kerckhoff family from its founding in the 1880s through 1989, when it was bought by Prairie Farms Dairy. The building was one of the oldest independent dairies remaining in St. Louis.</p><br>
<p>The oldest building on the site dates to 1915 and is located at the southwest corner of Grand Blvd. and Chouteau. Located at 1001 South Grand Blvd., it housed the offices for the company on four stories. The red brick office building has a three-bay facade on the first story, and inside it retains its white glazed brick walls and flooring. The upper floor roof line includes a decorated cornice. In 1916, Pevely added a brick and concrete factory building on the site, located at 3626 Chouteau Avenue. The factory underwent expansions in 1943, 1945, 1975, 1985, and 1997; in addition, a garage was built south of the factory at 1101 Motard Avenue in 1928, and a smokestack on the site that dates to 1943 included glazed brick lettering that spells out Pevely.</p><br>
<p>In October 2008, Prairie Farms closed the factory, which was the last Pevely facility still in use. The property is currently vacant. That same year, the complex was nominated and accepted to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>In August 2011, Saint Louis University purchased the site from Prairie Farms.</p><br>
<p>Despite its listing on the National Register of Historic Places, Saint Louis University requested permission to demolish the entire complex in December 2011. The St. Louis Preservation Board initially denied the university permission to demolish all buildings on the site, but in February 2012, the city Planning Commission overturned the denial. In place of the complex, the university intends to construct a $75 million outpatient care center.</p><br>
<p>Demolition of the plant began early April 2012. As of May 2015, no new construction was visible on the site.</p><br>
<p>The Bradford Community Church, originally the Henry M. Simmons Memorial Church and later the Boys and Girls Library, is a historic church building in Kenosha, Wisconsin, United States.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Henry M. Simmons Memorial Church was built in 1907 for pastor Florence Buck. Buck was ordained at the Meadville Theological School in Chicago, Illinois and came to Kenosha, Wisconsin to preach in 1901. She was the first woman to have a ministry in Kenosha and was involved in the design of the church. Buck was later named the acting director of the Department of Religious Education for the American Unitarian Association. The building was designed by N. Max Dunning, a Kenosha native.</p><br>
<p>In 1929, the church was purchased by the city of Kenosha. It was converted into Wisconsin&#39;s first Boys and Girls Library, dedicated to serving the youth of the community. It served in this role for fifty years. The city sold the building to a private developer in 1979, beginning a period where it was used for various restaurants and bars. On October 24, 1980, the building was recognized by the National Park Service with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The Kenosha Chapter of the Unitarian Church purchased the building in 1993, restoring it to the Unitarian Church. It was renamed the Bradford Community Church after Mary D. Bradford, an educational reformer who was also a leader in the original congregation.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The church was designed in the Gothic Revival style. The limestone building sits on a differently-coursed limestone foundation. The main building has a prominent water table. The northeast corner of the church features a crenelated square tower. The double-door entrance, centered on the tower on the main facade, is in a pointed arch with stone molding. The rest of the building is a gable-roofed nave. The main facade of this gable features a large decorative leaded glass window. A small organ room was built on the north side of the building; this room was later used as a chapel.</p><br>
<p>The Anthony and Caroline Isermann House is located in Kenosha, Wisconsin, United States. Designed in the Prairie School by a student of Frank Lloyd Wright, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Anthony and Caroline Isermann House was constructed in Kenosha, Wisconsin in 1922. Antony Isermann was President of the Isermann Clothing Store in downtown Kenosha. The house was designed by Russell Barr Williamson, a student of Frank Lloyd Wright. Williamson briefly supervised Wrights projects in Milwaukee, and after he left Wrights practice, he focused his career on the city. The house was designed in the Prairie School style, which emphasizes horizontal lines. The Isermanns lived in the house until the 1960s. The house neighbors the Frank and Jane Isermann House, which belonged to Anthony&#39;s brother. The house was recognized by the National Park Service with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places on February 25, 2004.</p><br>
<p>The house has many features typical of the Prairie School. It has overhanging eaves under a low-pitched roof, belt courses, and banded windows. The small, two-story house has a rectangular plan and a one-story ell. The walls are mainly brown brick, though the upper half of the second story is faced with stucco. The main block has a large window, which is flanked by sidelights. Around these is a plain stone surround. The ell, on the south wall, has two shallow bays. Small sections of brick walls with stucco edges decoratively project from some portions of the house.</p><br>
<p>The Frank and Jane Isermann House is located in Kenosha, Wisconsin, United States. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Frank and Jane Isermann House was built in 1923 in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Isermann was an executive with the Isermann Clothing Store, which had been established in 1892 and remained in business for almost 50 years. The house was designed by Russell Barr Williamson, a student of Frank Lloyd Wright. The house was passed to Donald and Elsie Isermann, also involved with the store, in the 1950s. They lived here until the 1980s. The house neighbors the Anthony and Caroline Isermann House, which belonged to Anthonys brother and almost certainly inspired Frank and Jane Isermann to commission Williamson for their own house. Together with his brothers residence, the house was recognized by the National Park Service with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places on February 25, 2004.</p><br>
<p>The two-story house features many details common to the Prairie School. It has a low-pitched hipped roof with wide, overhanging eaves. The house has a one-story sun room on the southwest corner. A two-story bay projects from the south wall of the house and connects to the sun room. The walls of the main house are faced with brown brick and decorated with piers between windows. Windows are also decorated with a stone lintels and a stone belt course. A broken brick wall with a stucco ledge projects from the house. The interior has built-in shelves and wood trim.</p><br>
<p>Kemper Hall is located in Kenosha, Wisconsin, United States. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Kemper Hall was originally known as Durkee Mansion, the estate of early Kenosha, Wisconsin settler Charles Durkee. The mansion was built in 1861 as Durkee was completing his one term in the United States Senate. Four years later, he donated the building to St. Matthews Episcopal Church, who aimed to convert the house into a girls boarding school. It was renamed Kemper Hall in honor of Jackson Kemper, the first missionary bishop of the Episcopal Church of the United States.</p><br>
<p>Kemper Hall served in this role for 105 years. In 1875, the church built a chapel north of Kemper Hall, and a year later, the first graduating class held its ceremony there. The mansion was linked to the church in 1908 with the construction of the cloister music house. A four-story dormitory was built to the south of this complex in 1894 and extended in 1901. A boiler room was built behind the complex in 1905. Six years later, a convent was built to the north, linked to the chapel with a nun&#39;s residence.</p><br>
<p>The school was never particularly large, graduating only 1600 students in its history. They accepted women to its preparatory school regardless of religion, race, or background. Among the alumnae is Bojan Hamlin Jennings, the first woman to be awarded a doctoral degree by Harvard University. Kemper Hall announced that it was going to close in late 1974. On June 7, 1976, the building complex was honored by the National Park Service with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places. When the Third Avenue Historic District was established six years later, Kemper Hall was listed as a contributing property. It was purchased by Kenosha County and operated as Kemper Center, a recreational center.</p><br>
<p>The Kenosha County Courthouse and Jail is located in Kenosha, Wisconsin in the United States. The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The first Kenosha County Courthouse was built in 1850 when Kenosha Country split from Racine County. By 1870, this building proved too small, and a new courthouse was established. Fifteen years later, a third courthouse was built. The present County Courthouse and Jail in Kenosha, Wisconsin was constructed from 1923 to 1925 in the Neoclassical style. It was part of Harland Bartholomews initial plan to redesign the city of Kenosha with City Beautiful movement influence. Land was selected by the Kenosha Board of Supervisors in 1922, coinciding with the shift in municipal policy to a council-manager plan. The jail was later used as the district attorneys offices. On March 9, 1982, the buildings were recognized by the National Park Service with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places. When the Civic Center Historic District was established seven years later, the courthouse and jail were listed as a contributing property.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The buildings are faced with gray Indiana limestone in an ashlar motif. A cornice decorates the building above the first floor. The three-story courthouse building sits on a raised basement. The main facade of the second and third stories are decorated with a colonnade of eighteen free-standing Ionic order columns. Two-story modern windows are found between the columns, except above the main entrance. The entrance instead has a recessed balcony with round-arched windows and a balustrade. The three-story jail features similar windows, although these are original to the building.</p><br>
<p>The Osgood–Kuhnhausen House, also known as Carina&#39;s Cottage, is located on Redstone Boulevard in Redstone, Colorado, United States. It is a timber frame structure built at the beginning of the 20th century in the Tudor Revival architectural style. In 1983 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Redstone was established at that time by John C. Osgood, founder of the Colorado Fuel and Iron (CF&I) company, one of the largest mining companies in the state. Wanting the coal miners and coking workers at the nearby mines and coke ovens to live in comfortable housing, Osgood built hundreds of cottages as part of his company town. Most were abandoned a decade later when CF&I shut the facilities down, and were eventually demolished or moved. The Kuhnhausen house was one of the few that have remained largely intact on their original sites.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The house is located near the north end of the unincorporated community of Redstone. It is on the east side of Redstone Boulevard, a few lots south of where East Creek Trail rejoins the street from the east and the pavement ends. On the neighboring lots on both sides of the street are houses of more modern construction. To the west the lots back on the Crystal River, beyond which is State Highway 133 and the mountains on the other side of the valley in Grand Mesa National Forest. On the east are also mountain slopes; most of that land is in the White River National Forest&#39;s Maroon Bells–Snowmass Wilderness. A quarter-mile (500 m) to the south is the older portion of town at the northern end of the Redstone Historic District, also listed on the National Register.</p><br>
<p>The building itself is a one-story square-shaped wood frame structure sided in clapboard with a pyramidal metal roof. A small porch projects from the south corner of the west (front) facade; there is a larger, gabled projection on the east. Several mature trees shelter the house; there are shrubs planted in the front.</p><br>
<p>On the front is a double two-over-two double-hung sash window with battened wooden shutters in the north bay and a single one next to the front door. Wood pillars from benches along either side support the porch&#39;s gabled roof. Above the window lintels a pair of wooden courses creates a frieze effect, with arched openings above the windows and the porch support posts. At the roof there is an overhanging eave.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>During the late 19th century in Colorado and other Western states, miners often built improvised houses or log cabins of wood, sod and whatever leftover materials they could scavenge for themselves and their families near the remote mines they worked at. In addition to being unsightly, they were often of poor quality. Housing became an issue in much of the labor unrest of the era.</p><br>
<p>In the late 1890s, John C. Osgood began to realize long-held plans of his to mine the high-quality coal of the upper Crystal valley. By 1899 CF&I, his company, had built almost 250 coke ovens along the west side of the river near Coal Creek. Similar dwellings were built nearby, but Osgood thought he could do better.</p><br>
<p>At the cost of $5 million ($ in modern dollars) to the company, he built Redstone. The company town had a dormitory for unmarried workers, lodges, a school, library and firehouse amid more than 80 small wooden cottages with running water and electricity, both luxuries by the standards of mines of that era. Architect Theodore Boal designed all the buildings in various Victorian styles of the era, particularly the Swiss chalet and Tudor Revival modes, adapting them to the mountain setting. Many show the influence of Andrew Jackson Davis&#39;s mid-century pattern book, The Architecture of Country Houses.</p><br>
<p>They were usually one-story buildings painted in soft, pleasing pastel colors. They differed from houses in other mine towns by using horizontal clapboard siding instead of board-and-batten. Many had, like the Osgood–Kuhnhausen house, a large pyramidal or hipped roof with gabled extensions and projections, usually sheltering a porch. While the houses used a standard form to keep costs down, the decorative elements on the Osgood–Kuhnhausen and some other houses suggest the houses were structurally superior enough to allow for the additional expense.</p><br>
<p>The community was completed in 1903. Osgood lost control of CF&I to interests connected to the Rockefeller family that same year, so he was unable to develop his paternalist model to the extent he originally planned as he founded the Victor American Fuel Company, one of CF&I&#39;s chief competitors. In 1909 the mines and coke ovens were shut down when the company found it was no longer profitable to ship coal to its new plant in Pueblo.</p><br>
<p>Redstone was abandoned very quickly, going from a bustling community of hundreds to a near ghost town almost overnight. In the years afterwards, many of the buildings including the cottages were demolished or moved to other locations. The Osgood–Kuhnhausen House was not, and remained in the family, rented to various remaining miners. A garage was built on the property in 1930.</p><br>
<p>The Osgoods put a rear addition on the house in 1940, and then sold it to Harry Kuhnhausen in 1945. He sold it to Fred Potter two months later, and his wife joined him on the deed when they married the next year. In 1950 the Potters sold it back to Kuhnhausen and his wife. The only alteration since then has been a metal roof, added in 1981.</p><br>
<p>The Houghton Mansion is the former home of Albert Charles Houghton and his family in North Adams, Massachusetts. It is now used as a Masonic temple.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Albert Charles Houghton, President of the Arnold Print Works and first Mayor of North Adams, Massachusetts, built what is now the Masonic Temple in the 1890s, shortly before his term as Mayor expired. It was his third home in North Adams, and the most extravagant, reflecting his wealth and status. Built in a Neoclassical Revival style, it has strong Greek features along with an eclectic array of influences from many diverse sources. The mansion&#39;s roof was made with Spanish tile, and the clapboards were thinner near the bottom to make the house appear taller than it actually was. There was a formal garden in the rear, which was often used for parties to raise money for the North Adams Hospital. The Houghtons moved in circa 1900, the family then consisting of Mr. Houghton, his wife Cordelia, and their youngest surviving daughter Mary, then 23 years old. Another daughter, Laura died as an infant, while three others lived to grow up, marry, and produce their own children. In 1905, when Mr. Houghton was 61 years old, his health started to fail. At that point, Mary resolved that she would never wed, but devoted her life to taking care of her father. A manic workaholic with a passion for business, Mr. Houghton did not in fact retire, but only cut back, dividing his time between the APW sales officers in New York City and North Adams, leaving the major decisions to be decided by his son-in-law, William A. Gallup. The history of Albert C. Houghton and his family, as well as the Houghton Mansion was chronicled in a book, which was published in June, 2014.</p><br>
<h2>1914 car crash</h2><br>
<p>In spring 1914, the Houghtons invested in their first car, a seven passenger Pierce-Arrow touring car, and sent their long-time chauffeur, John Widders also known as John Winters, to learn to drive it. On August 1 of the year, Mr. Houghton and Mary decided to go to Bennington, Vermont for a pleasure drive. Mrs. Houghton chose to remain at home, and they were accompanied instead by Dr. and Mrs. Robert Hutton of New York. Sybil Hutton was a childhood friend of Marys and a daughter of the North Adams shoe manufacturer WG Cady. With Widders at the wheel, the car left the Houghton mansion at 9:00 am; at 9:30 it was in Pownal, Vermont heading up what is now Oak Hill Rd. The road was under repair, and a team of horses was parked on the right hand side. Widders went around them on the left, at about 12 mph. On the left shoulder, the car tilted and went down a steep embankment, rolling over three times before coming to rest in an upright position in a farmers field. Everyone except Mary Houghton was thrown out of the car. The men all escaped with minor injuries such as cuts, scrapes, bruises and minor fractures. The women weren&#39;t so lucky. Mrs. Hutton was killed almost instantly when the car rolled over her. Mary Houghton was hurt just as badly and died of her injuries at 3:00 pm at the North Adams Hospital. Expecting to survive, Mr. Houghton was taken home, he died ten days later. The investigator for the State of Vermont exonerated Widders of all wrongdoing, blaming the accident instead on the soft shoulder of the road. But Widders still blamed himself and, at 5:00 am on August 2, 1914, he shot himself in the cellar of the Houghton Barn with a horse pistol. Mr. Houghton died on August 11, 1914.</p><br>
<h2>The Masons</h2><br>
<p>Following the crash, one of two surviving Houghton daughters, Florence, moved into the house with her husband, William A. Gallup, and made the mansion their home, looking after Mrs. Houghton until her death in 1916. They resided in the house until Mr. Gallup retired in 1926. Florence Gallup and her sister, Susan Houghton McKeon, sold it to the Masons, in 1926. The Masons did away with the formal Garden and constructed their lodge building in its place. In more recent years, for the sake of economy, the Spanish tile roof was removed and replaced with asphalt, and siding has been put on over the clapboards. Otherwise, the house looks just as it did when it was built.</p><br>
<h2>Alleged Hauntings</h2><br>
<p>The Houghton Mansion is reportedly haunted by the spirits of A.C. Houghton, his daughter, Mary, and their chauffeur, John Widders. People have reported disembodied voices and footsteps, shadow figures, and a feeling of sadness in Mary Houghton&#39;s room. A notable haunt is the apparition of a little girl in the basement, who has no relation to the family. The masons state that before the mansion was built, another house was located on the property, and the mansion was built over the house, leaving the basement intact.</p><br>
<p>The Willys-Overland Building is a former automobile dealership and distribution building for the Willys-Overland Company in St. Louis, Missouri located at 2300 Locust Street. The building was the home of the company&#39;s main dealership and distributor in St. Louis from its completion in February 1917 until 1932, and upon its opening, it hosted the first indoor St. Louis Auto Show.</p><br>
<p>The building&#39;s exterior is a six-story brick facade with large windows on all sides and minimal ornamentation. Originally, the building had a showroom on its first floor, while upper floors included storage space and auto assembly rooms, connected by large freight elevators. The building also contained a body paint shop and a repair shop on its upper floors; to support the weight of the automobiles and shops, the floors are nearly one foot thick poured concrete.</p><br>
<p>At the time of its construction, it was the largest automobile dealership and distribution center in St. Louis. As a result of its size, the organizers of the St. Louis Auto Show negotiated to rent the building for their annual show, which since 1907 had been held outdoors at Forest Park Highlands. By 1927, the company had expanded such that its used car dealership moved to an adjacent building and the company was operating a dozen dealerships in the area, but the building remained the corporations regional headquarters through 1932.</p><br>
<p>However, the Great Depression brought economic hardship to the company, and in 1932, the building was vacated; it remained vacant through 1935, when it was sold to the American Fixture and Manufacturing Company. In 2005, the building received another renovation, costing $12 million, and it was renamed the NSI Building. It currently is for sale for $17 million.</p><br>
<p>St. George&#39;s Syrian Catholic Church is a former church located at 103 Washington Street between Rector Street and Carlisle Street in the Financial District of Manhattan, New York City. The church is the last physical reminder of the Syrian American and Lebanese American community that once lived in Little Syria.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Originally three stories tall with a peaked roof, the structure was built c.1812, and by 1850 was being used as a boardinghouse for immigrants; an additional two stories were added on in 1869. In 1925, the building was purchased by George E. Bardwil, a textiles importer, for the use of the Syrian Greek Catholic church, organized in 1889 to serve the Syrian- and Lebanese-American community in the Little Syria neighborhood, also known as the Syrian Quarter. Four years later, Harvey F. Cassab, a Lebanese-American draftsman, was hired to create a new facade for the building. His neo-Gothic design in white terra cotta with a polychrome relief of St. George and the Dragon remains intact.</p><br>
<p>After World War II, the Syrian and Lebanese population in the area declined, in part because of the construction of the entrance ramps for the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel; the Eastern Mediterranean community later moved to Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, New York. The church briefly became a Roman Rite church, and then became disused as a church. In 1982 the building was bought by Moran Inc. and was turned into an Irish pub. The pub has now closed, however the building is still owned and maintained by Moran Inc.</p><br>
<p>The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission designated the building a New York City landmark on July 14, 2009.</p><br>
<p>Settavarai is a small village in Gingee taluk in Villuppuram district in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. The major occupation of the inhabitants is agriculture. In 2011 it had a population of 700.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Settavarai is wonderful location of Villupuram District. It is the lovely and silent location of Tamil Nadu the settavarai in six heels one is missing for the Elumalaiyan temple located 50 km northwest of Villupuram, 28 km southeast of Thiruvannaamalai, 26 km southeast of Gingee. Another importantant rock art site of Tamil Nadu, Kilvalai, is located 18 km southeast of Settavarai.</p><br>
<h2>Transportation</h2><br>
<p>Town buses depart from Gingee bus stand (Bus no: 13) to go via to settavarai and Tirukkoyilur bus stand to go via Settavarai.</p><br>
<h2>About the village</h2><br>
<p>Settavarai village has a 3000-year heritage. The historical importance of the village is the presence of 1000 B.C.E. rock paintings. The Settavarai rock paintings consist mainly of animal images.</p><br>
<h2>Rock paintings</h2><br>
<p>Globally, the study of rock art and their interpretations has gained momentum in the field of archaeology. Archeologists not only denoted the artistic skill of the people who had painted them, also their beliefs and their daily activities. The paintings on the rock shelters mostly depict hunting scenes and human activities.</p><br>
<h2>Settavarai Rock paintings</h2><br>
<p>The paintings are found in the rock shelters of a hillock called Ayyanarmalai. Animals like deer, wild boar, buffalo, tiger, fish and many images of human palms with fingers are found at the top of the hill. Among these paintings, a deer and a fish are depicted in large size. The outlines for these two figures are drawn in red ochre while the inner portion is painted white. The figure of a buffalo is drawn completely in red. The form of another buffalo is drawn in thick ochre while the back half is painted showing the bones and other inner organs. These type of paintings are called x-ray paintings.</p><br>
<p>One significant scene is found in front of the deer. A small amount of flesh is found fried in the fire with the help of long pole. This scene confirms that the authors of these paintings were well aware of eating fried flesh and fish.</p><br>
<p>Only one human figure is found in this large scene of animals. The nose of the human is drawn in the same style as seen in Kilvalai rock paintings, but without a dagger. Based on the execution of paintings and the style of the figures, the date of these paintings is estimated at 1500 B.C.E.</p><br>

<p>The Alvin Clark was a schooner which was constructed in 1847 and sank in Green Bay in 1864. It was salvaged in 1969 and moored in Menominee, Michigan at the Mystery Ship Seaport, located in the Menominee River at the foot of Sixth Avenue. The ship was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1972 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. Although the schooner was in pristine condition when raised, no plans were in place for its conservation, and the ship rapidly deteriorated. The remains of the Alvin Clark were destroyed in 1994.</p><br>
<h2>Construction and operation</h2><br>
<p>The Alvin Clark was built at the Bates and Davis Shipyard in Trenton, Michigan in 1847, likely by shipmaker John Clark, who had a son named Alvin.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Alvin Clark was a lumber schooner measuring 105 ft in length, with a beam of 25 ft and a displacement of 218 tons. two masts including a 110 ft mainmast, and was rigged as a brigantine with a square rigged foremast.</p><br>
<h2>Salvage</h2><br>
<p>In 1967, sport diver Frank Hoffman was hired by a commercial fisherman to free nets that had snagged under the surface. but the ship proved to be the Alvin Clark, and was positively identified through a stencil made belowdecks by one of the surviving sailors. Hoffman berthed the ship in Menominee, cleaned and re-rigged it, and eased it into an earthen slip. Hoffman built a museum nearby and exhibited the ship as a tourist attraction at the "Mystery Ship Seaport" in Menominee.</p><br>
<h2>Deterioration and demolition</h2><br>
<p>However, there were no conservation plans in place for the ship. Freed from the cold and low-oxygen waters at the bottom of the bay, the Alvin Clark immediately started to deteriorate. Hoffman&#39;s group had not included museum or historic society representatives, and his demand to be compensated for expenses involved in raising the ship frustrated efforts to find a permanent home for the ship or start any sort of conservation. The investors moved and stabilized the ship, but they were never able to adequately preserve the ship either. The ship was eventually deemed beyond saving, and it was deemed a public hazard. In 1994, the Mystery Ship Seaport and the remains of the Alvin Clark were demolished to make way for a parking lot.</p><br>
<p>The Valley Mountains are a 28-mile  long mountain range located on the southwest border of Sanpete County, Utah, with the northeast border of Millard County. The north of the range is in Juab County; the south in Sevier County.</p><br>
<p>The range is bordered by the Sevier River, and its corridor, and related valley landforms, three valleys border to the west, and Juab Valley lies to the north-northeast. Though it is a north-south trending range, the center of the range contains a small north-trending valley, Japanese Valley. Various knolls exist on the southwest and south.</p><br>
<p>The Sevier River borders the range on the north, northeast, east, and southeast. Various cities exist at the east, and southeast; Scipio, Utah lies at the northwest foothills. The Sevier Bridge Reservoir is at the Valley Mountains north terminus on the Sevier River, and it is part of Yuba State Park, a 16-mi long park that extends from the north to the northeast on the range&#39;s foothills, and on the Sevier River.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Valley Mountains are a north-south trending range, narrowing at its north and south ends. The range is about 9-mi at its widest, with two ridgelines, from the center northwards, on the east and west; from the center to the south, the ridgelines merge into a small mountain region. The southwest contains Dairy Knoll, 6,000 ft, and Three Knolls, 6,149 ft, both on the east perimeter of Round Valley, south of Scipio Lake. Scipio Lake lies at the north of Round Valley as the Valley Mountains meet the northeast terminus and foothills of the Pavant Range. The north section of the Pavant Range is a massif, (as is the Tushar Mountains-Pavant complex), and the highpoint far exceeds elevations in the Valley Mountains. The Pavant terminus just northwest of Scipio Lake is Noon Rock Peak, 7,735 ft.</p><br>
<p>The Valley Mountains highpoint is at the southern range terminus region, Bald Knoll (Utah), at 6,682 ft, located in Sevier County; USA 50 passes adjacent to Bald Knoll.</p><br>
<h2>Access</h2><br>
<p>The northwest region of the Valley Mountains can be accessed from Interstate 15, and Scipio; Old Yuba Dam Road transits to the very north of the range, to the Sevier Bridge Reservoir.</p><br>
<p>From Scipio, south, the entire west of the range can be accessed from USA 50; USA 50 transits south along the west foothills, the east side of Scipio Lake, through Round Valley, then transits southeastwards across the southern foothills to Salina on the Sevier River. Southwest of Salina is Aurora-(on Utah State Route 260 spur route, off the foothills).</p><br>
<p>The entire east side of the range can be accessed from communities along the Sevier River corridor. In the northeast is Utah State Route 28, (Fayette at the southeast of Yuba State Park); in the southeast, USA 89 passes through Axtell, Redmond, and Salina.</p><br>
<p>Sprenger Brewery, also known as the Excelsior Brewery Complex, is a historic brewery complex located at Lancaster, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The complex consists of five buildings and an open area. The Excelsior Hall was built in 1873, and is a four-story, measuring 33 feet by 105 feet. It features a Victorian storefront that once housed the brewery saloon and a restored heavy, sculptural mansard roof in the Second Empire style. The remaining buildings are a two-story building with stone basement vaults built about 1857; a 49 feet by 69 feet infill building built about 1910; a Victorian warehouse measuring 44 feet, 6 inches, by 88 feet, 6 inches; and a two-story, brick stable.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>Charlie Wagners Cafe is a small historic building located in the shadow of the Lancaster County Courthouse in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. From 1891-1963 the building housed a bar, rather than a cafe, and a few hotel rooms. It has also served as a warehouse for a nearby department store and now houses lawyers offices.</p><br>
<p>The building was designed by noted Lancaster architect C. Emlen Urban. It has three-stories designed in the Romanesque Revival style, and surprisingly combines elements of the Queen Anne style. It is constructed of brick with cut-stone and terra cotta elements and pressed metal details. The corner entrance is recessed with a cast-iron column supporting a pair of brick arches. A pyramidal roof also emphasizes the corner, making it appear to be a tower.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>Mavis Manor is a Queen Anne style, Victorian manor house located in Flat Top, West Virginia in Mercer County on 33 acre of Flat Top Mountain. Restored by the Marchese family under the supervision of Sir Justyn J Marchese.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Mavis Manor was built in approximately 1897 for the Lilly Family. The Mavis estate adjoins Huff Knob (elev. 3,570) and is part one of the highest elevations in southern West Virginia. The manor was used by Dr. L.L. Lilly as a hospital designed to keep overnight patients.</p><br>
<p>Mavis Manor was constructed of most Chestnut and Oak timbered in nearby Summers County, milled in Hinton, West Virginia then transported by horse-drawn wagon via the Grayson-Raleigh-Wythe turnpike. The inspiration for the manor came after Miss Sue Tickle visited Bramwell, West Virginia.</p><br>
<p>Probably the most pretentious Lilly home was built by Dr. Lonnie Lilly at the Flat Top Post Office and on the Mercer County line very much on the inspiration of his wife, a Miss Sue Tickle, who was said to be from the Bluefield area. She first married a McCormack, who was killed in an accident shortly after their marriage (in a buggy accident) and she then married Dr. Lonnie Lilly and she operated a millinery shop at Dunns and there she drew her plans for their home which they built at Flat Top containing twelve rooms with two long halls extending the length of the house and containing also ten closets and seven fireplaces. The right side of the house had an entrance to Dr. Lillys office for his patientss entry and in his office he had a trap door with shelves that lowered to the basement to keep his medical supplies in days before refrigeration so that the medicaine could be stored in the cooler level when it was not being used. The house was built in approximately 1897 and was designed to keep overnight patients who traveled long distance for treatment. Cost of building was $5,000.)"</p><br>

<p>Camp Flat Top, May 21, 1862. Wednesday.-A warm, windy, threatening day. Drilled the regiment this morning; marched to the summit of Flat Top, thence along the summit to the Raleigh Road, and so back to camp. Men looked well. Companies A, E, and K, under Major Comly, with a howitzer, marched to Packs Ferry to hold it, build boats, and the like. They take about twenty carpenters from the Twenty-third, also six cavalry men and a howitzer.</p><br>
<p>FLAT TOP MOUNTAIN, June 3, 1862.</p><br>
<p>DEAREST: -- I am made happy by your letter of the 24th and the picture of Webb. Enclosed I send Webb a letter from Lieutenant Kennedy. I am not surprised that you have been some puzzled to make out our movements and position from the confused accounts you see in the papers. Our log-book would run about this way: Flat Top Mountain, twenty miles south of Raleigh, is the boundary line between America and Dixie—between western Virginia, either loyal or subdued, and western Virginia, rebellious and unconquered. Here we are safe as a bug in a rug—the enemy more afraid of us than we are of them—and some of us do fear them quite enough. My opinion was, we ought to have fought Marshall at Princeton, but it is not quite certain. All our regiments have behaved reasonably well except Thirty-fourth, Piatts Zouaves, and Paxtons Cavalry. Don&#39;t abuse them, but they were pretty shabby. The zouaves were scattered seventy miles, reporting us all cut to pieces, etc., etc.</p><br>
<p>Enough of war. The misfortune of our situation is, we have not half force enough for our work. If we go forward the enemy can come in behind us and destroy valuable stores, cut off our supplies, and cut through to the Ohio River,--for we are not strong enough to leave a guard behind us. We look with the greatest interest to the great armies. Banks&#39; big scare will do good. It helps us to about fifty thousand new men.</p><br>
<p>I nearly forgot to tell you how we were all struck by lightning on Saturday. We had a severe thunder-storm while at supper. We were outside of the tent discussing lightning—the rapidity of sound, etc., etc., Avery and Dr. McCurdy both facing me, Dr. Joe about a rod off, when there came a flash and shock and roar. The sentinel near us staggered but did not fall. Dr. McCurdy and Avery both felt a pricking sensation on the forehead. I felt as if a stone had hit me in the head. Captain Drake&#39;s arm was benumbed for a few minutes. My horse was nearly knocked down. Some horses were knocked down. Five trees near by were hit, and perhaps one hundred men more or less shocked, but strange to say "nobody hurt."</p><br>
<p>All things still look well for a favorable conclusion to the war.I do not expect to see it ended so speedily as many suppose, but patience will carry us through. I thought of you before I got up this morning, saying to myself, "Darling Lucy, I love you so much," and so I do. Affectionately, R.</p><br>
<p>The Petralona cave  also Cave of the Red Stones , a Karst formation – is located at 300 m above sea-level on the western foot of Mount Katsika, 1 km east of the eponymous village, about 35 km south-east of Thessaloniki city on the Chalkidiki peninsula, Greece. The site came to public attention when in 1960 a fossilized hominid skull was found. The cave had been discovered accidentally only a year earlier  after erosion had left clefts in the rock. "Bejeweled" with impressive stalactite and stalagmite formations and holding an abundance of fossils the cave soon attracted geologists and paleontologists. After decades of excavations the cave is open to the public and scientific work is documented and presented in an adjacent Archaeological Museum.</p><br>
<p>The caves most prominent fossil specimen, since known among paleoanthropologists as the "Petralona Skull", named Archanthropus europaeus petraloniensis by Aris Poulianos, former head of the Anthropological Association of Greece. He considers it the oldest European hominid ever found and assessed it to be 800.000 years old. Yet "there was the constant problem that the skull was an isolated find" as other scientists strongly disagree and the find has been a continuing cause of controversy since. The Anthropological Associations conclusions and results are in direct conflict with accepted speciation models of the genus Homo and the chronology of the Out of Africa theory.</p><br>
<p>For a number of times excavations on the site were delayed and/or had to be discontinued, first in 1967 and the following years in relation to the Greek coup d&#39;état, again in 1983, according to Nickos A. Poulianos the Ministry of Culture giving no reason why it ceased to re-issue the excavation concession until "in 1997 the Anthropological Association of Greece, after 15 years of trials, was justified by the Supreme Court and was ordered the continuation of its works in the cave." Dr. Aris Poulianos, President of the Anthropological Association of Greece has repeatedly accused the Greek government, claiming it is conspiring to suppress his discoveries as in 2012 excavation rights were revoked again.</p><br>
<p>The on-site Anthropological Museum of Petralona displays a selection of the cave&#39;s findings.</p><br>
<h2>Discovery</h2><br>
<p>The cave was discovered accidentally in 1959 by Fillipos Chatzaridis, a local shepherd who was looking for a spring. In his effort to find a water source he found a small cleft on the slopes of Mount Katsika. Two men were lowered down and later described a large number of chambers and corridors, totaling 8 to 10 meters high with rich and beautiful formations of speleothems (stalactites and stalagmites).</p><br>
<p>The cave developed during the Mesozoic (Jurassic) limestone, its sediments are divided into several stratigraphic levels. "The rock formations resemble giant cactus, pink pearls, sturdy columns or delicate curtains, and in several places water ponds are fed by stalactite material. Covering an area of 10,400 m&sup2, the length of the corridors is about 2,000 m and temperature throughout the year remains stable at 17 ° C (± 1 º C)." The first research of 1959 was undertaken by the Greek speleologist Ioannis Petrocheilos. He found numerous bones of animals, many of them covered with cave coral.</p><br>
<h3>Skull</h3><br>
<p>The skull of the Archanthropus was according to Aris Poulianos found by another villager, Christos Sariannidis in 1960, hanging at the wall about 30 cm above ground, where it was held by sinter. Aris N. Poulianos states, that "early estimates at the time placed the age of the hominid remains to around 70,000 years". The Petralona skull, its lower jaw missing and completely "encrusted by brown calcite soon after the death of the individual" was estimated to be about 700,000 years old by Dr. Aris Poulianos, head of the excavation team since 1965. He announced that "the date was based on analyses of the cave’s stratigraphy and the accumulated sediments".</p><br>
<p>In 1981, the age of the Petralona skull deduced by Poulianos was investigated and the protocol published in the Nature journal. The scientists involved used electron spin resonance measurements of the calcite encrustation and of bone fragments and dated the age of the skull to between 160,000 and 240,000 years. However, Poulianos states that his excavations in the cave since 1968 provide evidence of human occupation from the Pleistocene era. The Petralona hominid, specifically, was located in a stratigraphic layer containing the highest amount of tools and traces of habitation. Poulianos claims that the age of the overall layer is approximately 670,000 years old, based on electron spin resonance measurements. Other researchers point out, that contextual animal fossils "found with it are known elsewhere from approximately 350,000 years ago". In 1987 researchers announced that the cranium cant be older than 620.000 years after palaeo-magnetic and mineral magnetic studies of the caves sediments.</p><br>
<h3>Layer 10</h3><br>
<p>In 1992 an international team published its results of a Uranium-series dating analysis of the small cavern, called "The Mausoleum" where the skull was allegedly found and the sediments, named "Layer 10" by Poulianos. The results confirm earlier findings "that the whole of layer 10 represents a long time span, from about 160 ka to more than 350 ka". The minimum age refers to the brown calcite layer, that covered and cemented the hominid skull to the wall. The fossils encrustation is insufficient to date it by alpha-spectrometric, Uranium-series methods, yet its minimum age was concluded to be also 160.000 years.</p><br>
<p>Today, most academics who have analyzed the Petralona remains classify the hominid as Homo erectus. However, the Archanthropus of Petralona has also been classified as a Homo heidelbergensis, Neanderthal (Homo sapiens neanderthalensis) and as an early generic class of Homo sapiens. A. Poulianos, on the other hand, believes that the Petralona cranium is derived from an independent class of hominids unrelated to Homo erectus.</p><br>
<p>Runnels and van Andel summarise the situation as such :</p><br>
<p>"The only known hominid fossil in Greece that may be relevant is the Petralona hominid, found by chance in 1960 in a deep cavern in the Chalkidiki. Controversy surrounds the interpretation of this cranium, and it has been variously classified as Homo erectus, as a classic Neanderthal (Homo neanderthalensis), and as an early representative of Homo sapiens in a generalized sense. The consensus among today&#39;s paleoanthropologists that the cranium belongs to an archaic hominid distinguished from Homo erectus and both the classic Neanderthals and anatomically modern humans. Whatever the final classification may be, the cranium has been provisionally dated to ca. 200–400 thousand years old and it is thus possible that the Petralona hominid is a representative of the lineage responsible for the Thessalian Lower Paleolithic sites."</p><br>
<p>The Anthropological Association of Greece has continued to announce new findings in the cave, such as 4 isolated teeth, then two 800,000 year old pre-human skeletons, a great number of fossils of various species, evidence of the oldest use of fire known to this day and a 11 Million years old girl. Ignoring scientific methodology, these statements were to supplement wanton conclusions and pseudo-scientific theories. Serious publishers such as Nature or Science refuse to publish the Anthropological Association&#39;s submissions.</p><br>
<p>The fossils are preserved at the Geology School of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki since 1960.</p><br>

<p>USA Post Office is a historic post office building located at Lancaster, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. It was built between 1928 and 1930, and designed by the Office of the Supervising Architect under Acting Supervising Architect James A. Wetmore. It is a two-story, fifteen bay wide building with a high basement and attic and slate covered mansard roof. It is faced in Indiana limestone and features a balustrade and parapet at the roofline. It has a one-story rear wing. The front elevation has eleven bays separated by two-story Tuscan order pilasters. It is an example of Beaux-Arts-style architecture with Moderne influences. The site was previously the location of the Lancasterian School and a Moravian graveyard. The building is now a corporate headquarters for Auntie Anne&#39;s.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.</p><br>
<p>Lancaster Trust Company is a historic bank building located at Lancaster, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. It was designed in 1910 by C. Emlen Urban, and built in 1911-1912, in the Beaux-Arts style. It was added to the front of an existing five-story building, built 1889-1890. It consists of the Main Banking Room, Board Room, and vaults, with the basement, lavatories, and passageways include. The facade is of red brick on a limestone foundation. The bank failed in 1932, and the building remained vacant for the next 50 years.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. For several years the building hosted the Lancaster Quilt and Textile Museum, which featured late 19th-20th century Amish quilts indigenous to the area.</p><br>
<h2>The Trust Performing Arts Center</h2><br>
<p>In 2013, the building became the home of The Trust Performing Arts Center, which is run by Lancaster Bible College&#39;s Worship & Performing Arts department. The college puts on a variety of community concerts, lectures, art shows, and live theatre productions at the building.</p><br>
<p>The Gilbert M. Simmons Memorial Library is located in Kenosha, Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Gilbert M. Simmons Memorial Library was the first public building in the City Park district in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Upon its completion, City Park became known as Library Park. Daniel Burnham designed the Neoclassical library while Ossian Cole Simonds developed the landscaping plan. Former Kenosha mayor Zalmon G. Simmons donated $150,000 for the buildings construction on the condition that it be named in honor for his deceased son. The city agreed, and the library opened to the public on May 30, 1900. As the citys first public library building, Gilbert M. Simmons Memorial Library greatly increased the volumes of literature available to the citizens of Kenosha. By the mid-1910s, the library had 124,368 volumes and sought to expand with a branch library.</p><br>
<p>The building was recognized by the National Park Service with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places on December 17, 1974. When the Library Park Historic District was created in 1988, the library was listed as a contributing property.</p><br>
<p>St. Matthew&#39;s Episcopal Church is located in Kenosha, Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places for its architectural and religious significance in 1979. The church is a parish of the Episcopal Diocese of Milwaukee.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Completed in 1879, St. Matthews is the oldest church in Kenosha. The congregation was founded on April 17, 1840, by Jackson Kemper, the first missionary bishop of the US Episcopal Church. A frame chapel was built in 1841 to serve the Yankee settlers of Kenosha. The church attempted to expand in the 1850s, but lost the money they raised in the Panic of 1857. In 1871, the church purchased the lost where the modern St. Matthews was built. It was situated near Library Park, the center of the Kenosha residential community.St. Matthew&#39;s was designed by A. H. Ellwood, an Aurora, Illinois, architect who specialized in public buildings and churches. The church was recognized by the National Park Service with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places on June 6, 1979. On November 29, 1988, it became a contributing property of the Library Park Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The church was built with limestone from Joliet, Illinois and Racine, Wisconsin. Exterior ashlar is rusticated while trim around architectural features is dressed. The nave features a steeply gabled roof with stone copings as caps. Stained glass windows are grouped in pairs between buttresses. A square tower emerges from the southeast corner with buttresses on each corner. The tower has a clock and trimmed wooden louvers below a castellated parapet. The apse is on the north end of the building and a sacristy wing on the west. The original slate roof was replaced by a similar roof in 1974. A pipe organ by Ernest M. Skinner was added in 1926. In 1987, the large windows on the south facade of the church were replaced with contemporary stained glass windows.</p><br>
<p>The Southport Beach House is located in Kenosha, Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Southport Beach House was built as part of the Works Progress Administration from 1936 to 1940. Kenosha, Wisconsin had aimed to develop an extensive park and beach system ever since the Kenosha Park Association formed in 1906. By 1922, most of the land that would become part of the Kenosha parks system had been donated by wealthy residents. However, outside of Library Park, this land was largely undeveloped until the Great Depression of the 1930s. The Works Progress Administration promised funds for municipalities seeking to develop public park projects. Kenosha successfully received grants for re-purposing building materials from condemned buildings into park structures.</p><br>
<p>The use of re-purposed materials caused the resulting beach house to enjoy a mix of contemporary architectural styles and revivals. The exterior blends Tudor Revival details with an overarching Mediterranean Revival theme. Marble and stone from an old post office was used to create an Art Deco ballroom, featuring the geometric ornamentation common to the style. The Southport Beach House remains open to the public for events, although it no longer functions a beach house. On January 8, 2003, the building was recognized by the National Park Service with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places. It was damaged in the June 2012 North American derecho, casting doubt on its long-term viability.</p><br>
<p>The Library Park Historic District in Kenosha, Wisconsin, United States, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Kenosha, Wisconsin was first settled in 1835. Charles Durkee and George Kimball were two of the earliest settlers and laid claim to neighboring tracts of land. Durkee and Kimball agreed to donate a portion of their lands to Kenosha as a city park. The park attracted other settlers; by the mid-1840s, Volney French and Lucien Scribner had constructed their homes overlooking the park. By 1861, the lots surrounding the park were almost completely occupied. Many of these houses were demolished for the sake of redevelopment in subsequent decades, but the French and Scribner houses survived.</p><br>
<p>During the Civil War, the neighborhood became active as a stop on the Underground Railroad at the behest of Ruben H. Deming. located at 1116-18 61st, Kenosha WI. Both the Hale–Farr and the Ruben H. Deming house have survived as examples of homes used for the slave escape network. Slaves would stay at the houses until they could board ships at the Kenosha harbor.</p><br>
<p>Two prominent ecclesiastical buildings were constructed in the 1870s: the First Congregational Church in 1874 and St. Matthew&#39;s Episcopal Church in 1879. The Queen Anne style dominated 1890s development. Examples include the Nathan R. Allen, Jr. House and the Urban J. Lewis House. The Gilbert M. Simmons Memorial Library, designed by Daniel Burnham, opened to the public in 1900. It was built in the center of City Park, which was subsequently referred to as Library Park.</p><br>
<p>Kenosha grew steadily in the 1900s, forcing new developments in the neighborhood to be built on smaller lots, including the Charles Stuart House (1907) and C. Ernest Dewey House (1910). Orson Welles was born in a 1880 house at 6116 Seventh Avenue on May 6, 1915. The Neoclassical design of the library inspired the design of other public and club buildings in the district, including the Masonic Temple (1924) and the YMCA building (1930). The district saw little development since World War II. On November 29, 1988, the district was recognized by the National Park Service with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Wisconsin was a steamboat that sank in Lake Michigan off the coast Kenosha, Wisconsin, United States. In 2009 the shipwreck site was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Career</h2><br>
<p>The Wisconsin was built at the Dry Dock Complex in 1881. The steamer was 204 ft long with a beam of 35 ft and a depth of 12 ft.</p><br>
<p>In 1885, the Wisconsin caught fire off Grand Haven, Michigan and was nearly destroyed. The Wisconsin was renamed the Naomi in 1899. On May 27, 1907, the ship caught fire again; the steamers Kansas, E. G. Kerr, and Saxona rescued most of the people on board, but four crew members and one passenger perished. By 1910 the ship was known as the E. G. Crosby.</p><br>
<p>During World War I, the Crosby was commandeered by the United States Navy and served in New York harbor as a convalescent hospital ship named the General Robert M. OReilly after Robert Maitland OReilly, a former Surgeon General of the United States Army. The General Robert M. O&#39;Reilly was renamed the Pilgrim in 1920 before returning to her original owners and name in 1924.</p><br>
<h2>Sinking and legacy</h2><br>
<p>On 29 October 1929, the Wisconsin left Chicago bound for Milwaukee, carrying passengers, automobiles, and machine tools. The ship ran into a storm and began taking on water, sinking around 7:10 pm. Rescue craft arrive 20 minutes later.</p><br>
<p>The wreck site is a popular location for historians, archaeologists and divers. It lies in 90 to 130 ft of water, 6.5 mi south-southeast of Kenosha.</p><br>
<p>Hamilton Apartments are two historic apartment buildings located at Lancaster, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. They were built in 1906, and are three-story brick and stone buildings.</p><br>
<p>The Historic Hamilton Suites in Lancaster, PA, sold for $3.1 million, or about $50,000 per unit, in a sale between private investors.</p><br>
<p>The 58-unit, 38,300-square-foot apartments were built for Hamilton L. Miller, a Chicago businessman, by contractor Herman Wohlsen in the Chicago commercial style, with some art nouveau details. It was the first large building in Lancaster used exclusively for apartments. In 2009 the apartments, together with a small neighboring building, were sold for $3.1 million, or about $50,000 per unit, to a group that included Dan Kreider.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>"Old Main," Goethean Hall, and Diagnothian Hall, also known as the Original Buildings of Franklin & Marshall College, are three historic academic buildings located on the campus of Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. "Old Main" was built between 1854 and 1856, and is a three-story, "T"-shaped, building with three-story lateral wings. It features a four-story, square entrance tower with five-story octagonal turrets. The chapel was enlarged in 1874. Goethean Hall and Diagnothian Hall flank "Old Main" and were completed in 1857. They are 2 1/2-stories tall, with steeply pitched gable roofs and stepped gables. The buildings all reflect the Gothic Revival architectural style.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<p>Vestfjord, meaning West Fjord in the Danish language, is a fjord in King Christian X Land, eastern Greenland.</p><br>
<p>This fjord is part of the Scoresby Sound system in the area of Sermersooq municipality.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Two large glacier branches flow into the head of the Vestfjord at the fjord&#39;s western end and a nunatak reaching a height of 2,468 m rises between the two glaciers. This tributary fjord extends between high mountains for about 50 km in a west-east direction until its mouth in the confluence of the Rode Fjord (Røde Fjord) and the Fonfjord (Fønfjord) opposite the western end of Milne Land.</p><br>
<p>Geologically this fjord is part of the Vestfjord-Hinksland gneiss and schist zone crystalline complex.</p><br>
<p>The McCanna-Hubbell Building, also known as the AG&E Building, is a historic commercial building in downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico. Built in 1915, it is a two-story brick structure with a prominent cornice. From 1917 to the mid-1960s the building was the headquarters of the Albuquerque Gas & Electric Company, which later became the Public Service Company of New Mexico .

<p>The Daniel Lyons was a schooner that sank in Lake Michigan off the coast of Algoma, Wisconsin, United States. In 2007 the shipwreck site was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The ship was built at Oswego, New York in 1873. It cost $27,000 to build.</p><br>
<p>On October 17, 1878, the vessel departed from Chicago, Illinois and was bound for Black Rock, New York. In the early morning hours of the next day, the Daniel Lyons spotted the running lights of the Kate Gillett, a schooner that was carrying fence posts from Cedar River, Michigan to Chicago. The Kate Gillett then began moving erratically. When it became apparent that the vessels were about to collide, the Daniel Lyons tried to make a desperate evasive move, but it was unsuccessful. The Kate Gillett struck the Daniel Lyons in the side, pushing her stem nearly halfway through the hull. For around fifteen minutes, the two vessels remained locked together. After crew members from the foundering Daniel Lyons boarded the other ship, they broke apart and the Daniel Lyons sank bow first. Despite also being badly damaged, the Kate Gillett began her journey to Chicago again. Both crews worked at a vigorous pace to keep the ship afloat, and made it to port the next day.</p><br>
<p>The shipwreck site is a popular spot for divers. It has also been used for archaeological purposes.</p><br>

<p>The Jay Norwood and Genevieve Pendleton Darling House is an historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. The residence was the home of cartoonist Ding Darling, who worked for The Des Moines Register and whose cartoons were syndicated in over 100 newspapers across th country. In the early 1930s, he became involved in the conservation movement, especially wildlife conservation. His advocacy was reflected in his cartoons. Part of his conservation legacy in Iowa is the Cooperative Wildlife Research Unit program that he initiated at Iowa State College and the expansion of the research facilities at Iowa Lakeside Laboratory.</p><br>
<p>The house sits behind Terrace Hill, the residence of Iowas Governors. The Darlings did not build the house, but they did make some changes when they owned it. The original house and the first major addition was the work of two prominent Des Moines architectural firms, Hailett and Rawson and Proudfoot, Rawson & Souers. Darling had architect John W. Brooks design the east wing and main entrance. He also chose the house&#39;s dark brown color. The changes Darling made to the house mixed elegance with earthiness and allowed it to blend in with its natural surroundings. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992 as a part of the Conservation Movement in Iowa MPS.</p><br>
<p>The Ayrshire Apartments is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. It was built in 1920 as a fireproof apartment hotel. The three-story building was designed in the Tudor Revival style, represented by the half-timbering on the third floor. All 36 units include a kitchenette, a Murphy bed in the living room, and a built-in clothes closet. The end units on each floor are larger than the interior units and they include a solarium. The building is located on Sixth Avenue, which by the turn of the 20th century had become a major route utilzed by vehicular traffic and streetcar lines. Its proximity to this transportation corridor illustrates the emergence of higher and denser residential use in these areas of Des Moines. The apartment building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996 as a part of the Towards a Greater Des Moines MPS.</p><br>
<p>The Riverside Site, also known as 20-ME-1, is an archaeological site located near the Riverside Cemetery in Menominee, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Riverside site is located on a sandy tract of land near Menominee&#39;s Riverside Cemetery. The area is covered with low hills and ridges, and is primarily sandy with a thin cover of sod. The archaeological site is located on a high sand dune overlooking the Menominee River.</p><br>
<p>The Riverside site consists of what was once a village along with an associated cemetery containing the remains of at least 63 individuals. Human remains were found in both burial and cremation pits. The village sites were mixed in with burial pits, and were often found above older burials.</p><br>
<p>Artifacts found at the Riverside site included a mix of Old Copper and Red Ocher cultures, with some additional Woodland and Mississippian cultural elements. Radiocarbon dating of organic remains indicated dates ranging from 1090 BC to AD 70, with the majority of the artifacts dating from about 500 BC to about 200 BC. These artifacts are believed to represent a transitional culture between the Old Copper and Red Ocher traditions.</p><br>
<p>Artifacts recovered from this site include stone, pottery, and, particularly, copper constructions. Stone tools and points were recovered. The small amount of pottery discovered was mostly associated with the later Woodland and Mississippian cultures. However, the Riversite site is particularly remarkable for the variety and quantity of copper implements discovered - about 700 in total. This includes the first clearly documented copper implement that was manufactured by casting rather than hammering. Many of the copper artifacts were in an excellent state of preservation.</p><br>
<p>The site is also unique in the apparent social ranking system, with more prestige artifacts in some graves than others. There was also an apparent emphasis on females and on the infant young.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Archaeological evidence suggest that the Riverside site was first inhabited around 1000 BC. Artifacts show occupation continuing to around AD 70, with the majority of the artifacts dating from about 500 BC to about 200 BC. Nearly no more modern artifacts were found on the site, leading researchers to conclude that the site was used only sporadically and temporarily in later years.</p><br>
<p>The archaeological features of the Riverside site had been known to those in the Menominee community since the early 1900s, and had undergone a fair amount of surface collection. The site came to the attention of professional archaeologists when sand was removed for use as fill, exposing copper artifacts and bone fragments. The first professional excavations were undertaken by Albert C. Spaulding in 1956 and 1957. These excavations were intended to perform a general sampling and to map the entire site. Spaulding&#39;s work determined the limits of the archaeological area, identified the cemetery site, and revealed copper tools and the first obsidian material reported in the area.</p><br>
<p>Later excavations, funded by the Oshkosh Public Museum and the Milwaukee Public Museum and led by Robert Hruska took place in 1961 - 1963. These excavations extensively probed the site. The recovered artifacts are now housed at the Milwaukee Public Museum.</p><br>
