<p>The D.S. Chamberlain Building, also known as the L. W. Taylor Motor Company and Payne Motor Company Building, is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. The two-story brick structure was designed by the prominent Des Moines architectural firm of Proudfoot, Bird & Rawson. Completed in 1917, it features elongated Chicago-style windows on the upper floors and simple geometric details on the cornice level that reflect the Collegiate Gothic style. The building was built as a speclative venture by Davis S. Chamberlain, who was one of the founders of his familys drug manufacturing company. It is located in the citys "Motor Row" or "Auto Row" on the west side of downtown. In 1916 there were 111 motor related firms in Des Moines that was valued at $12 million in annual trade. Both the Taylor Motor Company and the Payne Motor Company were housed in the double storefront building for many years. Other car dealerships followed. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<p>The Des Moines Saddlery Company Building is an historic building located in downtown Des Moines, Iowa, United States. It was built in 1881 by J. Rubelman of Muscatine, Iowa. He choose to move his operation to Des Moines because of its location on two rivers and the 13 railroads that served the city. It was one of four saddlery firms in a two block area. Rubelman’s company made saddles, harnesses and leather works for 20 years. In the years since it has housed a shoe maker, rubber company, stove manufacturer, glove company, the Krispy Kone Company and the Kaplan Hat Company. The later was also the name of the restaurant that was located on the first floor.</p><br>
<p>The building, which was built in four phases between c. 1878 to 1920, is the most intact example of commercial Italianate architecture extant in Des Moines. It was built to house both retail and manufacturing purposes. The building was flooded with 19 ft of water during the Des Moines River flood of 1993. It remained empty until the Court Avenue Restaurant & Brewing Company moved in with its equipment. The Des Moines Saddlery Company Building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Lewis Anderson House, Barn and Granary is a historic ensemble of buildings, currently located in The Dalles, Oregon, United States. This well-preserved set of 1890s Swedish American vernacular architecture was originally located on a farm on Pleasant Ridge, south of The Dalles. Lewis Anderson was a Swedish immigrant who, after establishing himself on Pleasant Ridge, worked semi-successfully to encourage further Swedish settlement in the area of The Dalles. The sidehill barn, with grade entrances on two levels, was the first erected of the ensemble, in 1890. The house was built by Anderson and fellow Swedish immigrant Ab Pearson in 1895. Anderson purchased and relocated the granary from a neighboring farm in 1898, in the process repurposing it from its previous function as a house.</p><br>
<p>The buildings were relocated to The Dalles in 1972 in order to restore and protect them, and were made part of the Fort Dalles Museum at that time.</p><br>
<p>The Wöllmisse is a high plateau which rises east of the Saale Valley in the State of Thuringia, Germany. The densely wooded Wöllmisse borders the Roda Valley in the South, the Saale Valley to the West, the Gembdenbachtal in the North, and the town of Bürgel and the Gleistal Valley in the East. In Bürgel, it is connected via a saddle with the formation of Jenzig-Hufeisen-Alte Gleisberg.</p><br>
<p>Municipalities and districts that are within the Wöllmisse are (beginning in the North): Großlöbichau in the District of Kleinlöbichau; the Bürgel villages of Rodigast and Lucka; Schöngleina with Zinna; Schlöben with the towns of Mennewitz, Zöttnitz, Rabis, Fraitsch and Burgrabis; the Jena districts of Ilmnitz, Drackendorf, Lobeda, Wöllnitz, Ziegenhain, Camsdorf, Wenigen-Jena, Jenaprießnitz and Wogau. Also, the villages of Trockhausen, Gröben, and Podelsatz are considered a part of the Wöllmisse, all at the southern foot of the ridge.</p><br>
<h2>Mountains</h2><br>
<p>In addition to the closed high plateau of the Wöllmisse, there are several mountains. The largest are the Kernberg and the Johannisberg to the West. They rise approximately 250 m above the Saale Valley.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the southwest of the Wöllmisse is the ruin the first mentioned Castle at Jena, the Lobdeburg built in 1166.</p><br>
<p>During the Middle Ages the Wölmisse was almost completely clearcut and on its slopes vineyards operated. Since the last century it has been replanted once again. Today the Wöllmisse is an important recreational area for Jena.</p><br>
<p>The Benton Stone Water Tower is located in Benton, Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>Benton&#39;s history goes back to early lead-mining days. In 1827 Andrew Murphy built a mill race there. The village grew as mining expanded, shrank when many of the miners left for California in 1849, then gradually grew back.</p><br>
<p>After a fire destroyed Benton&#39;s store and two houses in February 1899, the people decided unanimously to investigate "a waterworks" system. When a committee recommended a $4000 system financed with bonds to be paid back by taxes, it was put to a referendum and approved 84 to 24. The aim was "to supply water for domestic and sanitary purposes and for extinguishing fires."</p><br>
<p>A lot was bought on the hill and a 50-foot well was dug with a large reservoir. M. Tschirgi of Dubuque built the stone tower, coursed limestone 67 feet tall with a door with a segmental arch and circular glass-filled windows. On top of the tower sat a wooden tank 18 feet around and 18 feet high. And atop the tank stood a windmill, which pumped water from the reservoir below up into the tank. (The NRHP nomination contains a photo of the original arrangement.) Hydrants were connected to the tower. The system was complete and working by the end of 1899.</p><br>
<p>In February 1900 the newspaper reported that R.A. Blades would add a "bathing room" to his "tonsorial parlor." (Blades was one of Benton&#39;s barbers, and contract supervisor during construction of the tower.) Apparently this meant a room where you could pay to bathe. A fire company was organized around the same time.</p><br>
<p>In 1923 the town replaced the wooden tank with a 30,000 gallon steel tank with a conical steel roof, built by the Chicago Bridge and Iron Works. The windmill was removed in the 1930s. The tower was refurbished in 2010.</p><br>
<p>Today the old tower stands as a prominent landmark in Benton, an example of fine stonework and early public works engineering. The NRHP nomination also notes that "determination to build a waterworks marked an important step in the evolution of community spirit and willingness to raise taxes for a common purpose."</p><br>
<p>The Grand Veymont , a mountain in the district of Gresse-en-Vercors, part of the department of Isère, France, is the highest point  of the Massif du Vercors, but not the highest of the Vercors Regional Natural Park . It has a prominence of 1165 metres and an isolation of 26.88 kilometres.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>It is situated between le Pas de la Ville to the north and le Pas des Chattons to the south, and is part of the eastern edge of the high plateau of the Massif du Vercors. It is preceded to the north by (north to south) "le Rocher de Séguret" (the Rock of Séguret, 2051 metres), "Roche Rousse" (Red Rock, 2105 metres), and "le Sommet de Pierre-Blanche" (the Summit of White Rock, 2106 metres) and followed to the south (north to south) by Petit Veymont or Aiguillette (little Veymont or small needle, 2120 metres) and Mont Aiguille (Mount Needle, 2085 metres). Due to its location in the Parc du Vercors, it is far from any paved road. A moderately easy route to the summit involves walking about 10 km, hiking through the backcountry.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>The limestone cliffs evident on the eastern face of the Grand Veymont are composed of Glandasse or Urgonian limestone of Lower Barremian age, laid down between 125 and 130 million years ago.Stafleu J., Everts A.J.W., Kenter J.A.M.</p><br>
<p>(1994) Marine and Petroleum Geology, 11 (5), pp. 514–527 The bedding planes dip at roughly 30°, the angle of the western slopes. Its geology is similar to that of the "haut plateaux" of the Vercors Massif to the west, but differs from that of the valley to the east, which is monoclinal in structure, although still of Lower Cretaceous age. In the last ice age, a glacial tongue descended from the north-eastern slopes into the valley of Gresse-en-Vercors, depositing a glacial moraine which is visible today to the west of the village. However, there is no longer any permanent ice or snow on le Grand Veymont.</p><br>
<h2>Aircraft crash</h2><br>
<p>On 10 February 2007, a twin-engine light aircraft flying from London to Cannes disappeared in a snowstorm over le Grand Veymont, crashing into the mountainside and killing all three people aboard. The bodies and wreckage were recovered less than 24 hours later, at around 1960 metres above sea level, close to the Pas de la Ville, after a rescue operation involving more than one hundred policemen, firemen, mountain rescue specialists, and three helicopters equipped with infra-red cameras.</p><br>
<p>Mount Kanmuri, also known as Mount Yoshiwa Kanmuri, is a mountain located in the Yoshiwa District of Hatsukaichi, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan. "Kanmuri" is a common name for mountains in Japan; Hiroshima Prefecture has six mountains by this name alone, hence the modifier "Yoshiwa".</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Mount Yoshiwa Kanmuri has an elevation of 1,339 m. The mountain is at the far west of the Chūgoku Mountains, and is part of Nishi-Chugoku Sanchi Quasi-National Park. The plateaus of the southern base of Mount Yoshiwa Kanmuri features large stands of renge tsutsuji rhododendron, and the area is designated a natural monument by the Prefecture of Hiroshima.</p><br>
<h2>Recreation</h2><br>
<p>Mominoki Prefectural Forest has facilities for camping and hiking, and is located in the fir forests at the eastern foot of the mountain.</p><br>
<h2>Transportation</h2><br>
<p>The Chugoku Expressway, also known as National Route 468, follows the southern base of Mount Yoshiwa Kanmuri.</p><br>
<p>The Hastings Caves State Reserve is the setting of a complex of caves and a natural warm springs located 102 km south of Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. Newdegate Cave, the largest dolomite cave in Australia open to tourists, is a part of the complex. They are located 5 km from the nearby Lune River fossil/gem centre and the Ida Bay Railway.</p><br>
<p>The complex features natural warm springs, which cause many of the local streams to be at a year-round temperature of 28 &deg;C. This feeds a swimming pool at the Hastings Visitor Centre, which is available to visitors to swim in.</p><br>
<p>The Hastings Visitor Centre was built in 2001 by Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife. Offering information, ticket sales, food and drink, souvenirs and free public WiFi. The Centre is a hub for the growing number of tourists that visit the Far South of Tasmania.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The caves were discovered in 1917 by timber workers cutting trees near the entrance of the cave. The caves were initially opened up to tourists in the 1920s, and later the state government stepped in and took control during the Great Depression. Steps and a road to the cave were completed as part of depression era construction work to spur the economy, and the cave was officially opened by Albert Ogilvie, Premier of Tasmania, in 1939.</p><br>
<p>Newdegate Cave was named after Francis Newdegate, the Governor of Tasmania between 1917 and 1920.</p><br>

<p>The Elm Street/Round Hill Historic District is a local historic district in the city of Northampton, Massachusetts. Established in 1994 along one mile of Elm Street it was expanded to include Round Hill Road in 2012.</p><br>
<p>There are 139 buildings ranging in style from early 18th century colonial to Modern and International style.</p><br>
<p>The first lots on what is now Elm Street (from Main Street to Round Hill) were granted between 1659 and 1661.</p><br>
<p>The founding of Clarke School for the Deaf in 1867 and the founding of Smith College in 1871 marked the beginning of a significant number of institutional buildings in a wide range of architectural styles at the eastern end of the district (Smith College) and Round Hill Road (Clarke Schools). There was a boom in residential home building from the mid-19th to early 20th century and as a result many homes are Queen Anne and Colonial Revival style. In 2013 the Clarke Schools sold 12 acres with ten buildings to a developer who will create luxury condominiums and commercial space.</p><br>
<p>Catholic Churches punctuate each end of the district.</p><br>
<p>Elm Street is part of Massachusetts Route 9 which runs East/West between Pittsfield, Massachusetts and Boston, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<h2>Notable buildings and locations</h2><br>
<p>The eastern terminus of the Elm Street Historic District is dominated by Smith Colleges College Hall on the south side built in 1875 in Gothic Italianate style by Peabody and Stearns and by the former St. Marys Catholic Church built on the north side in 1881 in Gothic Revival. The Church and its Rectory are on the site of the former Mansion House, an important stop at the northern terminus of the Northampton-New Haven Canal.</p><br>
<p>Two houses vie for the claim of "oldest house." Smith Colleges Sessions House at 109 Elm Street is wood-framed and has a gambrel roof. It is believed to have been built around 1725 by Jonathan Hunt and would therefore be the oldest building owned by Smith College. The privately owned 197 Elm Street is believed to have been built around the same time (1730) but given approximations on construction dates it might be either the oldest or second-oldest, extant building on Elm Street. By contrast, Smith Colleges Cutter and Ziskind Houses were designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and built in 1957 in the International style and the Contemporary-style Art Museum and Campus Center were built in 2003.</p><br>
<p>Smith College&#39;s Haven House at 110 Elm Street (sometimes shown as 96 Elm Street) was the residence of Sylvia Plath during her first two years at Smith College from 1950 to 1952.</p><br>
<p>At 137 Elm Street is the 1841 Italianate home of Charles P. Huntington, a noted abolitionist and namesake for the nearby town of Huntington which he helped create. He was a member of the State House of Representatives in Boston.</p><br>
<p>At 222 Elm Street is the 1891 Shingle-style Queen Anne home of John C Hammond who took Amherst College graduate (later US President) Calvin Coolidge on as a legal apprentice in his law firm Hammond & Field.</p><br>
<p>Also near the western terminus, just off Elm Street is the former home of President Calvin Coolidge on Massasoit Street.</p><br>
<p>The western terminus of the District is Catholic Church built in 1899 for the Blessed Sacrament Parish in an unusual "Swiss" design.</p><br>

<p>The Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad Station, also known as the Milwaukee Road Depot is a railroad depot located at 219 West Fourth Avenue in Menominee, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 and designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1977.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Rail service was originally extended to Menominee to serve the logging industry. However, as the 19th century drew to a close, the logging in the area was slumping. To offset the decrease in business, the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad turned to passenger service. In 1903 they constructed a passenger depot in Menominee from a design by architect James U. Nettenstrom; The railroad ran three daily passenger trains between Menominee and Crivitz, Wisconsin from 1903 until 1914. From 1915 until 1927, the rail line offered both passenger and freight service, but the venture ultimately failed. The station was used as a freight stop until 1938, after which it was shuttered. In 1979, a private partnership, Depot Enterprises, purchased the building.</p><br>
<p>As of 2012, the building is for sale.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul, and Pacific Depot is a single story frame structure clad with clapboards and vertical tongue and groove siding and resting on a poured concrete foundation. The main section of the depot is covered with a gabled roof, having wide overhanging eaves supported by metal brackets. A covered waiting platform topped with a hip roof and lined with Doric columns is set at one end of the building. The interior has approximately 2000 square feet of floor space, with an additional 500 square feet under the covered waiting platform. The platform and tracks are currently below grade.</p><br>
<p>In February 2013, the US Board of Geographic Names approved the university, supported proposal to officially name the prominent ridge, on which the University of Alaska Fairbanks is currently located as &#39;Troth Yeddha.</p><br>
<p>This is a Lower Tanana Athabascan place name that derives from words troth, meaning Indian potato or wild potato (Hedysarum alpinum) and yeddha, meaning ridge&#39;.</p><br>
<p>The 2200 acre east-west trending ridge has had no official name. Portions of the ridge are referred to unofficially in English as College Hill or University Ridge.</p><br>
<p>The name Troth Yeddha&#39; is one of a suite of Lower Tanana place names in the university area reflecting the base troth. These include:</p><br>
<p>Trexwghodegi Troth Yeddha Bena Smith Lake (literally: upper wild potato ridge lake&#39;)</p><br>
<p>Trexwghotthigi Troth Yeddha Bena Ballaine Lake (literally: lower wild potato ridge lake&#39;)</p><br>
<p>Troth Ghotthiit Geist Road - Fairbanks Street area (literally: toward the water from Indian potato)</p><br>
<p>In 2008 the University of Alaska Fairbanks dedicated the land between the Museum of the North and the Reichart Building as Troth Yeddha&#39; Park. A design for the park is being developed.</p><br>

<p>The Clemens Automobile Company Building is an historic building located in downtown Des Moines, Iowa, United States. It was completed in 1916 as an "automotive department store" operated by the Clemens Automobile Company. They sold cars here that were produced by Willys-Overland Motors from 1916 to 1923. There was a claim that this was the largest building in the city that was devoted to automobiles. The first floor was used for the main sales room and offices, the second floor was used for used car sales and the service department, the fourth floor was used for a paint department, and the remaining three floors and the basement were used for storage. The Clemens family was involved in a variety of business enterprises and another one of their companies, the Standard Glass and Paint Company, was housed here from 1924 to 1979. The building is now part of the Hotel Fort Des Moines, and the two buildings were linked across the alley in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The building is a six-story brick structure with a reinforced concrete skeleton that rises 95 ft above the ground. It is thought that the Des Moines architectural firm of Sawyer & Watrous designed the Neoclassical-style building, but that cannot be confirmed. Local contractor J.E. Lovejoy was in charge of construction. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<p>The Herring Motor Car Company Building, also known as 10th Street Lofts, is an historic building located in downtown Des Moines, Iowa, United States. The building is a six-story brick structure that rises 90 ft above the ground. It was designed by the Des Moines architectural firm of Proudfoot, Bird & Rawson in the Classical Revival style. Clyde L. Herring had the building built in 1912 and it was completed the following year. It was originally a four-story building and two more floors were added 18 months after it was originally built. By 1915 the company was building 32 Ford automobiles a day, and had delivered “more automobiles than any other one automobile agency in the United States”. Along with the neighboring Standard Glass and Paint Company Building it is part of the same loft apartment complex. The National Biscuit Company Building on the other side of the building has also been converted into an apartment building. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>The Standard Glass and Paint Company Building, also known as 10th Street Lofts, is an historic building located in downtown Des Moines, Iowa, United States. Ashton and Ross Clemens, who were brothers, had the building built in 1913 to house their company, which was said to be the largest glass and paint business west of Chicago. Local contractor J.E. Lovejoy was responsible for its construction. It was one of several warehouse buildings on the southwest corner of the downtown area. Established by the Clemens brothers, Standard Glass and Paint Company was in existence from 1903 to 1979. It was Des Moines&#39; leading wholesale and retail supplier of a variety of building and remodeling supplies. The company remained in this building until the mid-1920s when they moved to the Clemens Automobile Company Building, which was owned by the same family. After it sat empty until 1931 various wholesale companies occupied this building over the succeeding years. Along with the neighboring Herring Motor Car Company Building it has been converted into loft apartments. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>The National Biscuit Company Building, also known as National Biscuit Company Flats, is an historic building located in downtown Des Moines, Iowa, United States. The heavy timber and masonry building was built in 1906. Only half of the planned building was completed, and the north half of the prperty was later sold. It initially served as a production and distribution facility for the National Biscuit Company. Architect William F. Wilmouth, who designed the company&#39;s buildings is presumed to be the architect of this four-story Neoclassical building. Benson & Marxer served as the contractors. Des Moines was the third largest sales territory for the company. It was one of a few bakeries in the company that produced the Uneeda Biscuit, and it was one of three that produced a corn cracker in the mid-1920s.</p><br>
<p>The National Baking Company would use this building until 1940. Boyt Harness Company, Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, and Look magazine used it for a warehouse. Carpenter&#39;s Local #106 acquired the building in 1981 and used it for meetings and as a place to train apprentices. In 1995 the building was converted into a 54-unit apartment building. The neighboring Herring Motor Car Company Building has also been converted into loft apartments. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>Christ Church Tower is a Gothic Revival church tower in Prince Albert Street, Crewe, Cheshire, England. It was built in 1877 for Christ Church parish church, and retained when much of the church was demolished in 1977. Within the shell of the former church there is now a memorial garden.</p><br>
<p>The tower has a ring of ten bells, all cast by Gillett & Johnston of Croydon in 1912. The tower is a Grade II listed building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Christ Church was built for the Grand Junction Railway in 1843, and was almost certainly designed by John Cunningham. The church was consecrated on 18 December 1845 by the Rt Revd John Bird Sumner, Bishop of Chester. Aisles were added in 1864, the tower in 1877, the chancel in 1898 and a northeast chapel in 1906.</p><br>
<p>In 1977 the nave and aisles were demolished due to dry rot. The Diocese of Chester declared the tower and baptistry redundant on 1 June 1980. However, services continued to be held in the surviving part of the church until November 2013.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The tower is built of iyellow sandstone with angle buttresses. It has a west door above which is a hood mould, its stops carved with faces. Over this is a window with Geometric tracery. Higher on the tower are more windows, some of which are lancets, and others have trefoil heads. On each side of the tower is a clock dial set in diapered panels. The top stage has louvred triple-lancet bell openings. On the top of the tower is a stepped and gabled parapet, with octagonal crocketed pinnacles at the corners. Originally the tower had an iron crown that was made in the railway workshops.</p><br>
<p>Some of the walls of the church remain, including parts of the red brick chancel. Also retained is a pair of columns: survivors of a set that until 1901 supported galleries in the nave.</p><br>
<p>Murillo Flats is a three story, formerly seven unit brick apartment building in Des Moines, Iowa. Built in 1903, it was originally located at 531-533 14th at the intersection with High Street in the downtown area of the city. On March 1, 2008, in the largest relocation project scheduled for that year and an event covered by both local & national media, the 705-ton building was moved to a new location so that it could be preserved. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Previous owners of the building included sisters Florence and Helen Wyse from the 1920s through the 1990s and Gary Bowen, who had been trying for several years to sell condominiums prior to the building being purchased by Wellmark Blue Cross & Blue Shield.</p><br>
<h2>Move to 16th & High Street</h2><br>
<h3>Background</h3><br>
<p>On September 15, 2007 Wellmark Blue Cross & Blue Shield announced plans to build a new company headquarters on three city blocks (6.5 acres) in downtown Des Moines. The land purchased by Wellmark contained several existing buildings, including a row home built in 1880 and the Murillo Building. These two were identified for preservation, and Wellmark indicated that they would give away the buildings on the condition that they were moved from the site by March 2008. Rob McCammon worked on the plan to relocate the buildings, with Phil Kaser agreeing to finance the Murillo Building move. Wellmark gave Kaser the building, along with a portion of the money saved from not having to demolish it. Kinter Construction was hired as the general contractor for both moves, who in turn brought in Patterson Structural Movers of Washington, Iowa to work on the Murillo.</p><br>
<h3>Preparations</h3><br>
<p>Preparations for the move took 17 days. The building was cut from its foundation using water-lubricated chain saws, then raised using hydraulic equipment before finally being placed upon dollies with a total of 192 wheels, each of which was individually powered and could be turned 90 degrees in order to move a different direction without having to turn the entire building. Power lines were also moved along the planned route to accommodate the building&#39;s size.</p><br>
<h3>The Move</h3><br>
<p>The building was to move three blocks along High Street to its new location. Due to concerns that the weight of the building may damage sewer pipes running under the street, Des Moines city officials wanted the relocation to occur during daylight hours on a Saturday. March 1 was the last day that the move could take place, otherwise Wellmark would have demolished the building. The relocation effort began just after dawn, but due to warming temperatures and melting snow the building could not initially be moved as the wheels stuck in the mud. The building eventually rolled onto High Street with the aid of two heavy-duty tow trucks from Hanifen Towing in Des Moines, but this part of the operation took more than four hours instead of the expected one. By Saturday evening the building was located on the street next to its final destination, and on March 2 was positioned over a hole dug in the lot where the new foundations will be built. The entire event was recorded on 9 cameras by Windfall Films for their Monster Moves show, which is broadcast in the United States on the Discovery Channel and National Geographic Channel (under the names Mega Moves & Impossible Moves). The Murillo move features in episode 5 of the third season ("Historic Hulks")</p><br>
<p>It is currently being shown on "Massive Moves" on the DIY network.</p><br>
<h2>Future</h2><br>
<p>Phil Kaser indicated that he intends to rent the apartments once the move has been completed, and possibly sell them as condominiums in the future.</p><br>
<p>The Perry and Brainard Block, also known as the North Des Moines Town Hall, is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. The structure was built between 1888 and 1889 and the second floor served as the city hall for the suburb of North Des Moines. In the late 19th century Des Moines actively sought to annex its Victorian suburbs, with North Des Moines being the largest of these communities. This is the only known public building that has survived from the Annexation Movement era. The local government and community of North Des Moines debated annexation, not only of the municipalities, but of their schools as well. It was also the only community where the residents voted on the annexation issue, and this building also served as a polling place. The building served as the location of the celebration after the referenda passed in 1890. After its use as the city hall, the second floor became the lodge for the Ancient Order of United Workmen.</p><br>
<p>The building&#39;s commercial space is also significant in that it is in one of two commercial areas in North Des Moines, which indicates the size and influence the community had in the late 19th century.</p><br>
<p>The Scoglio dAfrica  also named Formica di Monte Cristo , is a solitary small skerry belonging to the Tuscan Archipelago located in open sea between Tyrrhenian Sea and Corsica Channel. It is located 18.5 km west of the Island of Montecristo, 23.5 km south of Pianosa Island and 43.1 km east of Corsica. Administratively it belongs to the municipality of Campo nellElba. It is also part of the Tuscan Archipelago National Park.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Regarding its size and its shape, it can be considered to all effects an emergent rock in a stretch of shallow sea. It has a rounded contour with the diameter of 70 metres, an area of 3,000 square metres and an altitude of only 3 metres above sea level depending from the tides and the waves.</p><br>
<p>Geologically the skerry belongs to a submarine ridge starting few miles east of Capraia and it extends toward south up to reach Pianosa.</p><br>
<p>The ridge is lying at an average depth of 80 metres but it decreases in proximity of the island to arrive at 8 metres. The depths in the region among the skerry and Montecristo reach 200 metres.</p><br>
<h2>Fauna</h2><br>
<p>The seabed around the rock is composed by two types of biocoenosis; the first is formed by algae, bryozoa and polychaetes that form a structure rich in cavities; the second is formed by prairies of Posidonia.</p><br>
<h2>Scoglio d'Africa lighthouse</h2><br>
<p>On its platform was built in 1867 a lighthouse still active and operated by Marina Militare identified by the number 2096 E.F. The lighthouse has a conical base, to resist the waves, surmounted by a cylindrical tower in white stone with balcony and lantern. It has a solar power unit, the focal plane is at 19 metres and emit a single white flash every 5 seconds visible up to 12 nautical miles.</p><br>
<p>St. Gregory Parish, also known as St. Gregory Nazianzen, is a Catholic parish of the Diocese of Green Bay. Its historic parish church, dedicated to Saint Gregory of Nazianzus, is located at 214 Church Street in the village of St. Nazianz, Wisconsin.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The congregation was organized by the founder of the community, Fr. Ambrose Oschwald, who left Germany in 1854 with 113 followers to establish a religious colony in America. He developed his own religious rule for the community, wherein everything was to be shared in common and all would work without pay. The community called itself the Association of Oschwald Brothers and Sisters, or simply The Association.</p><br>
<p>Oschwald recorded the founding of the parish as September 8, 1854, as work was underway on the first church, a hand-hewn log structure that included a residence of Oschwald on the lower level and a chapel on the upper level. The first Mass was offered on October 15.</p><br>
<p>A womens convent of pink brick, which came to be known as the Pink Convent, was built between 1857 and 1860. A male counterpart, the so-called Loretto Monastery, was built in 1862. In 1865, the parish built a seminary and an orphanage and hospital, later converted to a convent. It also sponsored a boarding school in nearby Charlestown in Calumet County. A parochial school, St. Gregorys School, was built in 1884.</p><br>
<p>The cornerstone for the stone church was laid on June 9, 1864 by John Henni, first Bishop of Milwaukee. The structure was finally completed in 1868 and dedicated by Henni on November 10 of that year. Soon thereafter, Oschwald commissioned work on the Loreto Shrine Chapel, dedicated to Our Lady of Loretto, completed in 1870 and expanded in 1872. Oschwald died less than six months after its dedication, succeeded by his protegé, Fr. Peter Mutz.</p><br>
<p>Dissension arose in the community soon thereafter, and legal battles took their toll on membership and finances of the Association. As the original generation of settlers died out, the future of the village, and its parish, fell into doubt. In 1896, Fr. Louis Barth, who had lived in St. Nazianz and studied at the Oschwald Seminary, learned of the Society of the Divine Savior (the Salvatorians) and invited its founder, Fr. Francis Jordan to visit. On August 11, the remaining members of the Association turned over their remaining property and spiritual leadership to the Salvatorians, although St. Gregorys remained independent until 1905, when Joseph Fox, Bishop of Green Bay, invited the Salvatorians to assume the administration of the parish. Care of St. Gregorys School was given to the School Sisters of St. Francis in 1896. The convent and orphanage/hospital was taken over by the Salvatorian Sisters, who renamed it St. Mary&#39;s Convent by the Sister of the Divine Savior.</p><br>
<p>The church was extensively remodeled in 1926, but the Great Depression put a halt to further improvements to the properties for some time. In 1940, the parish acquired the Catholic Order of Foresters building for use as a parish hall. The original St. Gregory&#39;s Church and the Pink Convent, which had become too costly to maintain, were razed in 1949; a stone memorial is left on the site of the church. Funds were used to build a social center in 1950, and a new school building completed in 1952.</p><br>
<p>In 2000, the diocese undertook a massive reorganization intended to address demographic changes and the priest shortage. St. Gregory shares a priest with the churches of SS. Peter & Paul in Kiel and Holy Trinity in School Hill. St. Gregorys has also absorbed Holy Trinitys school.</p><br>
<h2>Church</h2><br>
<p>The current parish church was constructed between 1864 and 1868 of locally quarried fieldstone. The single-story, gable-roofed church measures 120 feet long by 55 feet wide. The church suffered severe interior damage in a fire on May 2, 1955. It was remodeled in 1958, and the destroyed spire replaced with a cross.</p><br>
<p>In 1982, the entire complex of St. Gregorys Church, the Loretto Shrine Chapel, and St. Marys Convent was added to the National Register of Historic Places as.</p><br>
<p>The Herrensee is a small lake on the northwestern edge of the old town  of Waren  in the district of Mecklenburgische Seenplatte in the German state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.</p><br>
<p>The originally almost-circular lake was slightly enlarged on its southern shore during the construction of the Information and Nature Experience Centre of Müritzeum. It has an approximate area of 1.5 hectares and a diameter of 130 metres. The lake is filled from the east by the Beke that carries water from the Tiefwarensee, 230 metres away, and is also drained by the Beke to the southwest into the Binnenmüritz just 70 metres away. The lake contains several small bush-covered islets that are used as nesting sites by water fowl.</p><br>
<p>The Herrensee lies on the edge of a small park and there is a nature trail running around it. It gives its name to the bridge that divides the park, the Herrensee Bridge (Herrenseebrücke), which runs over the B 192 federal road and the Lloyd Railway and links the Old Town to the quarter of Waren-Nord.</p><br>
<p>The Casa Alvarez is a wood-frame, French Colonial-style house in Florissant, Missouri listed on the National Register of Historic Places as among the oldest houses in St. Louis County. According to its nomination for the Register it "serves as a last link with the Spanish occupation of the Upper Louisiana territory." Located at 289 Rue St. Denis, it is surrounded by modern homes.</p><br>
<h2>Design and additions</h2><br>
<p>The Casa Alvarez was built about 1790 in then-St. Ferdinand, a village made up of primarily Spanish and French Catholic settlers. Its original form consisted of one room with a large fireplace. Prior to 1840 the high ceiling was replaced with a second floor, part of the main room partitioned to create a staircase, and dormer and gable windows added. Three more rooms were added and a second fireplace built in 1840. A new dining room, kitchen and porches were added in the 1920s and 1930s. The home has a full basement. At an unknown point a first-floor bathroom was installed.</p><br>
<h2>Ownership history</h2><br>
<p>The house originally was constructed for Eugenio Alvarez, He continued his service as a military storekeeper and became acquainted with Pierre Laclede and Pierre Chouteau, among other early settlers. Alvarez passed the home to his son, Auguste, sometime in the 1840s.</p><br>
<p>The house remained in the Alvarez family until 1905, when it passed to Humphrey Moynihan (a mayor of Florissant). Moynihan sold it in 1910 to Auguste Archambault, Jr. It was purchased in 1914 by Hermann von Schrenk, who owned the home through 1955. A botanist with a particular interest in the lumber industry, Von Schrenk introduced coating railroad ties in creosote in the United States. The von Schrenk family restored the house and added significantly to its gardens.</p><br>
<p>During the 1960s the house was purchased by Harold Zimmerman. In 1976 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Colma di Mombarone  is a mountain of the Biellese Alps, a sub-range of Pennine Alps, in northern Italy. It visually marks, along with Monte Gregorio on the opposite side, the entrance of Aosta Valley from the Po plain. On its top in 1900 was built a huge statue, still located there, of Jesus Christ.</p><br>
<h2>Etymology</h2><br>
<p>The name comes from Piedmontese language: Colma is a term used in the northern Piedmont and referring to a pass or a high place, while Mombarone is the italianisation of the piedmontese Monbaron, where mon is for mount and baron means heap or pile.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The mountain is located between Dora Baltea and Cervo valleys, on the border between Province of Turin and province of Biella, both in Piemonte region. Administratively it is divided between the comunes of Settimo Vittone (in the province of Turin), Donato and Graglia (both in the province of Biella).</p><br>
<h3>SOIUSA classification</h3><br>
<p>According to the SOIUSA (International Standardized Mountain Subdivision of the Alps) the mountain can be classified in the following way:</p><br>
<p>main part=Western Alps</p><br>
<p>major sector=North Western Alps</p><br>
<p>section=Pennine Alps</p><br>
<p>subsection=Southern Valsesia Alps</p><br>

<p>group=Catena Tre Vescovi - Mars</p><br>
<p>subgroup=</p><br>
<p>code=I/B-9.IV-A.1</p><br>
<h2>Access to the summit</h2><br>
<p>The easiest routes for the summit are two long but well marked footpaths, one starting from San Giacomo di Andrate (TO) and another from San Carlo di Graglia (BI); both of them converge on the southern ridge of the mountain.</p><br>
<p>Nearby the mountain&#39;s top, at 2,312 m, is located Rifugio Mombarone, a permanent mountain hut.</p><br>

<p>Lewis and Clark Pass, el. 6,424 ft is a mountain pass on the continental divide in Montana. It lies at the head of the drainages of the west flowing Blackfoot River and the east flowing Dearborn River. The pass is in the Helena National Forest in Lewis and Clark County. The Continental Divide Trail traverses north and south through the pass. At the time of the Lewis and Clark Expedition the pass was a much-used pathway where the native people living in what today is Montana crossed over the continental divide. The pass was crossed by Meriwether Lewis on July 7, 1806, on the return leg of the Lewis and Clark Expedition with a party of nine men and his dog Seaman. The pass was named for the expeditions two leaders&ndash;Lewis and William Clark. Lewis and Clark Pass is the only roadless pass on the entire Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail. It has gone from being one of the most used continental divide passes prior to the pioneer era to one of the least visited passes today. It can be accessed by a 1.5 mi trail. Visitors will encounter the pass much as Lewis did in 1806. The furrows left by the countless dog and horse travois that crossed the pass are still visible  and this is one of the places along the expeditions route that visitors may still encounter a grizzly bear. On a clear day, like Meriwether Lewis in 1806 one can see Square Butte in Cascade County, Montana, 40 mi to the northeast.</p><br>
<h2>Ancient Indian pathway</h2><br>
<p>The pass over the continental divide, now known as Lewis and Clark Pass, was part of a much used "road" for Native American people, since it was easily traversible and, most critically, the route traversing Lewis and Clark pass and also Lolo Pass farther west, was the shortest and easiest route between the plains of eastern Montana and the Columbia River Valley. The Nez Perce guides for Meriwether Lewis in 1806 referred to the pathway over the pass as the "Buffalo Road" or the "Cokahlarishkit" trail. Tribes living in the mountain valleys west of the continental divide used the pass as a shortcut to move out of the mountains and onto the broadreaching eastern Montana plains to hunt and harvest buffalo. However, the pass was also used by war parties from the nomadic people living on the plains of Eastern Montana to conduct raids on western Montana tribes living in the inter-mountain valleys. The pass was described as a broad and "well beaten" trail when Meriwether Lewis traversed it in 1806.</p><br>
<p>Lewis and Clark Pass is not the lowest pass in the area. Rogers Pass, 5.3 mi to the southwest crosses the continental divide at an elevation 800 ft lower, and is part of Montana Highway 200. However Lewis and Clark is the pass with the easiest approaches to the summit over which Native people could travel, using dog and later horse travois.</p><br>
<p>Before the time of Lewis and Clark, the pass was probably one of the busiest and most used passes in the northern Rocky Mountains. Ironically, today it is the least used pass on the Lewis and Clark Expedition route, since all other passes are traversed by roads fit for vehicles.</p><br>
<h2>Lewis and Clark and the pass</h2><br>
<p>On the westward leg of their expedition to the Pacific Ocean in 1805, Lewis and Clark were unaware of the pass, but by the time of their return they had learned of it from local tribal people and were determined to travel over it. On July 1, 1806, at Traveler&#39;s Rest on Lolo Creek in the Bitterroot Valley, Lewis and Clark split into two separate parties. Lewis was to go directly east, using the pass to take a shortcut out of the mountains to the eastern Montana plains. He then planned to veer north to explore the upper Marias River Country before returning to the Missouri River and descending it to where it was joined by the Yellowstone. Clark would cross over from the Bitterroot to the Big Hole River and then follow the Big Hole and the Jefferson River down to the Three Forks of the Missouri. Here Clark planned to turn east up the East Gallatin River until he could cross over to the Yellowstone River, which he would then follow down to the Missouri where he intended to find Lewis.</p><br>
<p>On July 3, 1806, Lewis left Travelers Rest with nine men and his dog Seaman. His route to the pass lay through the Hellgate area, where Missoula is now located, and up the Clarks Fork of the Columbia. He then turned and followed the Blackfoot drainage to the pass over continental divide. After crossing the pass he then went down the Dearborn River to the Missouri, and then out onto the plains where the buffalo roamed.</p><br>
<p>On July 7, 1806, late in the day, Lewis and his small party came to the top of the divide between the Blackfoot River and the Dearborn. Lewis described it as "the dividing ridge between the waters of the Columbia and Missouri rivers". Lewis said little about the area other than that he could see in the far distance, on the skyline of the eastern Montana plains, the landmark now called Square Butte which the Corps had dubbed "Fort Mountain" the previous July. Square Butte can still be seen from the pass on a clear day at a viewing distance of about 40 air miles.</p><br>
<p>The goal of the Lewis and Clark Expedition was to find the shortest pathway from the Missouri River drainage to the Columbia River drainage. After crossing Lewis and Clark Pass, Lewis confirmed that the route that went over Lewis and Clark Pass, and then over Lolo Pass farther west, was the most direct route from the Missouri River to the Columbia River Valley.</p><br>
<h2>The only roadless pass on the Lewis and Clark Trail</h2><br>
<p>Lewis and Clark pass is an exception to the rule that highways follow old Indian pathways. No highway or road crosses this pass today. It is the only pass that Lewis and Clark used that was not later traversed by a road. While the approaches to Lewis and Clark Pass are much easier to traverse from the Blackfoot drainage to the Dearborn drainage, Rogers Pass located 5.3 miles (8.5 km) to the southwest was more than 800 feet (244 m) lower than Lewis and Clark Pass, and modern highway construction and engineering methods favored Rogers Pass over Lewis and Clark Pass for highway construction. Therefore, Rogers Pass is traversed by Montana Highway 200, connecting the cities of Great Falls and Missoula, Montana.</p><br>
<h2>Visiting the pass</h2><br>
<p>A road carries the visitor within 1.5 miles of the pass on the west side. Thereafter the visitor must follow the example of earlier Native Americans and travel on foot or horseback to the pass. The extensive use of the Lewis and Clark pass by Native people using dog and horse travois is evidenced by the furrows from travois that are fading but which can still be made out at the crest of the pass and at several places along the approach pathways.</p><br>
<p>Of all places along the Lewis and Clark Trail, this is the only pass that is roadless, and it is the only area on the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail where it is possible to encounter grizzly bears. On a clear day there are spectacular views out over the eastern plains of Montana. Like Meriwether Lewis, one can see Square Butte 40 miles away on the skyline.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The town of Lincoln is located 58 miles northwest of Helena, Montana on Highway 200 and is a full service community. Lewis and Clark Pass is located 9 miles east of Lincoln off Highway 200. Turn north onto Alice Creek Rd (FS Road 293) and drive 11 miles to the trailhead. An uphill 1.5 mile hike reaches the summit of the pass.</p><br>
<p>The D. C. Everest House is an English-Spanish Baroque-styled home in Wausau, Wisconsin, United States. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>David Clark Everest came to Wausau in 1909, when he was made general manager of the new Marathon Mills Paper Company. He led the company for 46 years, into specialty papers and an expansion into printing.</p><br>
<p>Clark had this house built from 1925-28, a three-story U-shaped villa overlookng downtown Wausau. The roofs are hipped and covered with tiles imported from Spain. Parts of the outside are decorated with gargoyles. The inside is decorated with hand-hewn beams, lead-glass windows, and custom decorations.</p><br>
<p>Everest was inducted in the Paper Industry International Hall of Fame at the Paper Discovery Center in Appleton, Wisconsin in 2000.</p><br>
<p>The Old Charleston Jail is a site in Charleston, South Carolina. It held many notorious criminals, among them Lavinia Fisher.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Old City Jail is located on a four-acre parcel set aside for public use from Charlestons earliest settlement. The jail, which was operational from 1802 until 1939, housed Charlestons most infamous criminals, and, during the Civil War Federal prisoners of war. The Old Jail building was constructed in 1802 and served as the Charleston County Jail until 1939. In 1680, as the city of Charleston was being laid out, this location was designated for public use. In time a hospital, poor house, Workhouse for runaway slaves, and this Jail was built on the square. When the Jail was constructed in 1802 it consisted of four stories, topped with a two-story octagonal tower. Charleston architects Barbot & Seyle were responsible for 1855 alterations to the building, including a loo rear octagonal wing, expansions to the main building and the Romanesque Revival details. This octagonal wing replaced a fireproof wing with individual cells, designed by Robert Mills in 1822, five years earlier than his notable Fireproof Building. The 1886 earthquake badly damaged the tower and top story of the main building, and these were subsequently removed.</p><br>
<p>The Old Jail housed a great variety of inmates. John and Lavinia Fisher, and other members of their gang, convicted of robbery and murder in the Charleston Neck region were imprisoned here in 1819 to 1820. Some of the last 19th-century high-sea pirates were jailed here in 1822 while they awaited hanging. The Jail was active after the discovery of Denmark Vesey&#39;s planned slave revolt. Although the main trials were held in the Workhouse, some slaves were briefly held in both the Jail and the Poor House, and four white men convicted of supporting the 1822 plot were imprisoned here. Tradition holds that Vesey spent his last days in the tower before being hanged, although no extant document indicates this. Increased restrictions were placed on slaves and free blacks in Charleston as a result of the Vesey plot, and law required that all black seaman be kept here while they were in port. During the Civil War, Confederate and Federal prisoners of war were incarcerated here. It is one of more than 1400 historically significant buildings within the Charleston Old and Historic District.</p><br>
<p>Since 2003 the Jail has been a popular with tourists as well as television. It has been featured in a variety of television shows including,, , and. Daytime history and night time ghost tours are available through. In exchange for exclusive touring rights of the building, Bulldog Tours has contributed over $1m to the restoration of the historical building.</p><br>

<h2>American College of the Building Arts</h2><br>
<p>In 2000, the American College of the Building Arts (ACBA) acquired the Old City Jail from the Housing Authority of the City of Charleston, which had obtained the building along with the Robert Mills-designed Mariners Hospital and other land to be redeveloped as the Robert Mills Manor public housing project. The jail was generally unused during the Housing Authoritys 61 years of ownership. Most of the facilitys original structures remain intact. Upon acquisition, the College initiated an emergency stabilization program; preservation efforts are on-going. The College began in 1998 when a small team led by Alabama native John Paul Huguley created the School of the Building Arts (SoBA) in Charleston. Inspired by legendary Charleston master artisan, Philip Simmons, SoBA was established to solve the growing problem in building preservation that became evident in 1989 when Hurricane Hugo swept through Charleston severely damaging many of the city&#39;s historic structures.</p><br>
<p>It was soon discovered that despite Charlestons commitment to historic preservation, there were only a few local craftsmen trained and qualified for the task. The lack of master craftsmen is not unique to Charleston as quality design and craftsmanship training have been steadily declining throughout the nation. After the South Carolina Commission on Higher Education licensed the School to begin recruiting on July 8, 2004, the name of the institution was changed to the American College of the Building Arts (ACBA) to more accurately reflect its place in the American educational hierarchy. Today, the Old City Jail is an official "Save Americas Treasures" project of the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the White House Millennium Council. (ACBA) moved out of the Jail in the summer of 2016 after the building was sold to a real estate developer.</p><br>
<p>The Granville D. Jones House in Wausau, Wisconsin, United States was designed by George W. Maher in Prairie Style and built in 1904. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Granville Jones was a New Yorker born in 1856 who moved to Wisconsin and taught in Fond du Lac County, then graduated from the University of Wisconsin and became principal of the high school in Wisconsin Rapids. In 1884, he began working at a Wausau law firm and was admitted to the bar in 1886. He founded the Wausau Telephone Company and the G. D. Jones Land Company, encouraged other Wausau businessmen to invest together in new businesses, and was involved in other businesses, including Employers Mutual Insurance Company, Wausau Sulphite Paper Company, and the First National Bank of Wausau.</p><br>
<p>Jones served on the Wausau school board for twenty years, encouraging students to pursue higher education. He served two terms as a regent of the University of Wisconsin. As a regent, Jones pushed to punish Professor Richard T. Ely for teaching socialist ideas, which led to the "sifting and winnowing" statement. He and another regent censured Professor Eugene Allen Gilmore for researching the right of the state to control its waters. And he led a movement to reprimand Professor Edward Ross for allowing an anarchist to address his sociology class.</p><br>
<p>The Alexander Schaeffer House is a historic house museum at 213 South Carpenter Road in Schaefferstown, Heidelberg Township, Lebanon County, Pennsylvania. Built about 1736 and enlarged in 1771, it is a rare example of an 18th-century colonial German-style Weinbauernhouse , in which a residence and the production of alcohol products are combined in a single building. The house is on the upper Brendle Farms property of Historic Schaefferstown, which offers tours of the house by appointment. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2011.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Alexander Schaeffer House stands in a farm complex on about 90 acre of land on the south side of Schaefferstown, with its principal access drive leading west from South Carpenter Street. The oldest portion of the structure is 2-1/2 stories in height, built out of coursed rubble limestone joined with lime mortar. It is set on sloping land, which provides for banked entrances on the ground level and second floor. Window placement is irregular, and the multiple entrances serve different functional purposes. The ground floor spaces originally had dirt floors and were treated as a work space even in the house&#39;s early days, while the upper level had a living space with three rooms, serving as kitchen, parlor, and bedchamber. The interior retains 18th-century wide flooring, doors, and hardware, although whether it date to the original construction or later alteration is unclear.</p><br>
<p>This basic plan, built about 1738, was altered in 1771 by Alexander Schaeffer, who purchased the property in 1758, and for whom the town is named. He extended the building with a two-story addition, constructed with similar materials to the original. The ground floor space under the original section had a vaulted storage space built into it, with a large kitchen for operating a still in the upper floor of the addition. The fireplace in the original kitchen was also adapted for use in the distllation process. Schaeffer probably acquired this property in order to provide spirits for a tavern he operated on the main road in town.</p><br>
<p>The Bear Lake Stake Tabernacle, situated on main street in Paris, Idaho, is a Romanesque red sandstone meetinghouse of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints designed by Joseph Don Carlos Young. The tabernacle was built between 1884 and 1889 by Mormon pioneers of Bear Lake Valley who used horse and ox teams to haul rock quarried from Indian Creek Canyon nearly 18 miles away. It cost $50,000 to build and seats around 2000 people. The tabernacle was dedicated September 15, 1889 by LDS Church president Wilford Woodruff. In 1972 the tabernacle was added to the National Register of Historic Places. The tabernacle was refurbished in 2004-2005 and continues to operate as a meeting place for the Bear Lake Stake congregations and community.</p><br>
<p>The Somerville City Hall  is a historic municipal building at 93 Highland Avenue in Somerville, Massachusetts. Built in 1852 and enlarged several times, it has served as the city&#39;s first high school, first public library, and only city hall. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Somerville City Hall is located at the northeast corner of School Street and Highland Avenue at the western end of the Central Hill area of the city, a cluster of municipal buildings that includes the current Somerville High School and its Central Library. The present appearance of the building is as a 2-1/2 story brick Colonial Revival structure, with a gable roof and a projecting square section at the center of its east-facing front facade. The building is topped by a wood-frame belfry and clocktower with cupola.</p><br>
<p>The oldest portion of the building, its central core, was built in 1852, and was basically Greek Revival in character. This portion was used as the towns first high school until 1867, when a fire in the old town office building forced a relocation of those offices to this buildings upper floor. The building was permanently dedicated as city hall after the construction of a new high school building (no longer extant, set on part of the area occupied by the present high school) in 1872, and the town was reincorporated as a city. The space once occupied by the police station in this building was converted for use as the city&#39;s first public library in 1873, eventually relocating to a dedicated building (also no longer extant) between it and the high school in 1885.</p><br>
<p>In 1896 the building was expanded with a two story wing toward Highland Avenue, and again in 1924, when the north wing was added, restoring symmetry to the building and adding the monumental Georgian Revival entrance, set in a recess behind a pair of two-story Ionic columns. The two later additions transformed what had been a Greek Revival building into one with a more Colonial Revival flavor.</p><br>
<p>The Parker Homestead is a historic home and grounds in Little Silver, Monmouth County, New Jersey, United States, located at 235 Rumson Road near Sickles Park. The main house was originally built circa 1720, and includes materials from an earlier structure  the early and late 19th century, and the 1910s and 1920s. It is one of the oldest extant buildings in the state. The farmstead which also includes also three outlying barns were listed on the New Jersey Register of Historic Places and the National Register of Historic Places. in 2011.</p><br>
<h2>Original settlers</h2><br>
<p>Little Silver was settled by two of the original patentees of Shrewsbury Township, one of the earliest English-speaking settlements in New Jersey Brothers Joseph and Peter Parker settled in the area in 1667 and owned land bounded by Parkers Creek on the south and Little Silver Creek on the north, named their holdings "Little Silver" after their fathers (George Parker) estate in Portsmouth, Rhode Island. The farm remained in the family until the last descendant of the original settlers, Julia Parker, died in 1995.</p><br>
<h2>Acquisition and preservation</h2><br>
<p>After Julia Parker died the homestead was acquired by the borough, through her bequest, with the condition that it be preserved. Studies are being conducted as to how to proceed with restoration of the property. The Garden State Historic Preservation Trust Fund awarded a $44,625 grant for the site and local authorities used that money for preliminary preparations and consultant fees to outline a plan for future work and use of the historic property. The condition of the buildings are considered precarious and immediate stabilization is considered a priority.</p><br>
<p>In the Summer of 2013 an Eagle Scout project was conducted to clear invasive and obtrusive plants from the area surrounding the pond next to the house.</p><br>
<p>The Chatra Gorge is a canyon cut by the Kosi River across the Mahabharat Range in Nepal.</p><br>
<h2>Kosi river system</h2><br>
<p>The Kosi or Sapt Kosi drains eastern Nepal. It is known as Sapt Koshi because of the seven rivers which join together in east-central Nepal to form this river. The main rivers forming the Kosi system are – the Sun Kosi, the Indravati River, the Bhote Koshi, the Dudh Kosi, the Arun River, Barun River, and Tamur River. The combined river flows through the Chatra gorge in a southerly direction to emerge from the hills.</p><br>
<p>The Sun Kosi contributes 44 per cent of the total water in the Sapta Koshi, the Arun 37 per cent and the Tamur 19 per cent.</p><br>
<p>Out the rivers that form the Sapta Kosi, the three main tributaries, Sun Kosi, Arun and Tamur converge</p><br>
<p>at Tribeni and enter Chatra Gorge.</p><br>
<h2>The Gorge</h2><br>
<p>The Chatra Gorge is about 10 km long and is about 5–8 km wide. Downstream of the gorge, the river enters the alluvial plains forming a huge megafan covering around 16,000 km.</p><br>
<p>The gorge is located at 26.86856&deg;N latitude, 87.15185&deg;E longitude. The initial or northern portion of the gorge is at an altitude of 115 m.</p><br>
<h2>Sapta Kosi High Dam</h2><br>
<p>A 269 m high dam is proposed to be built near Barahakshetra across the Sapta Kosi in the Chatra gorge. It will have a 3,000 MW power station and a barrage 8 km downstream with canals on both sides for irrigation.</p><br>
<p>The Hotel Janzen, also known as the Janzen Hotel,</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Designed by Marquette architectural firm Lovejoy and Demar, Its first proprietor was William M. Janzen.</p><br>
<p>In summer 1977, the hotel began receiving condemnation notices for failing to meet health and safety standards. A fire in 1983 damaged the Janzen to the point that its demolition seemed likely. However, a newly formed committee called "Save the Janzen" renovated the building after they raised $30,000 plus matching funds from the city. The building was purchased by the committee in January 1984 from owner Doris M. Bullock and began operation as the non-profit Janzen House, a shelter "for potentially homeless people" in the Marquette area. The shelter can house around 30 people.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed as a Michigan State Historic Site on May 8, 1984, for its architectural significance and as a reminder of Marquette&#39;s boom years.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Designed in the Late Victorian style, the hotel is a narrow, rectangular, three-story frame building. The building has a brick facade, gable roof, and stone foundation. At the front corner is a gabled tower with an oculus window that is topped by an octagonal turret. There is an open porch across the front of the building.</p><br>
<p>The current Box Elder Stake Tabernacle, also known as the Brigham City Tabernacle, is a neo-Gothic tabernacle of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints rebuilt in Brigham City, Box Elder County, Utah by Mormon pioneers in 1897 after being gutted by fire a year earlier. The tabernacle continues to function as a meetinghouse for congregants of the Box Elder Stake and seats approximately 1600. It also host concerts and other special events and is open for tours during the summer. Given its unique architecture and importance to the community, the tabernacle was listed on National Register of Historic Places on May 14, 1971. A recently built temple stands across from the tabernacle.</p><br>
<h2>Original structure</h2><br>
<p>The site for the tabernacle was chosen by LDS Church President Brigham Young, who after visiting a different site selected by local church officers, went atop "Sagebrush hill" the highest point along main street and reportedly stated "this is the spot for your tabernacle." On May 8, 1865, Young assisted in laying the cornerstone for the tabernacle. Around 1880 meetings began to be held in a rudimentary structure without the tower, gallery, or buttresses. In 1889, it was voted to "complete" the building by adding a tower, a gallery, a rear vestibule, capped brick buttresses, and other improvements. The tabernacle was completed and dedicated on October 28, 1890 by Young&#39;s successor, Wilford Woodruff.</p><br>
<h2>Fire and rebuilding</h2><br>
<p>The tabernacle was gutted by fire in 1896, just 6 years after being completed in 1890. On Sunday February 9, 1896, as church members began to assemble a fire broke out in the furnace room, the building ignited and was reduced to blackened stone walls. Within a year the tabernacle was rebuilt with elegant woodwork, a distinctive gothic/revival tower and sixteen graceful pinnacles, and rededicated by George Q. Cannon on March 21, 1897.</p><br>
<h2>Renovations</h2><br>
<p>In 1951 an organ from the Reuter Organ Company was installed. On April 12, 1987, LDS apostle Boyd K. Packer, native of Brigham City, rededicated the tabernacle after extensive renovations.</p><br>
<p>In 2012 the grounds were re-landscaped along with the construction of the Brigham City Utah Temple, and a new media center was put in as a kind of visitors center.</p><br>
<p>The Summit Stake Tabernacle or "Coalville Tabernacle" was a meetinghouse of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints  located in Coalville, Summit County, Utah.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>Plans for the Summit Stake Tabernacle were made shortly after the creation of the Summit Stake in 1877, and the architect and builder was Thomas L. Allen. The cornerstone was laid by Franklin D. Richards on August 7, 1879. The construction of the tabernacle included 600,000 locally-made bricks, 75,000 feet of lumber (both Oregon red pine and local lumber from Echo Canyon), and sandstone from the Coalville ledge quarry. The unique gothic-style architecture included a 117-foot tower that was visible miles away. The interior had stain-glass windows imported from Belgium and an elaborately-painted ceiling. The tabernacle was dedicated on May 14, 1899 by LDS Church President Lorenzo Snow.</p><br>
<h2>Renovation</h2><br>
<p>In the 1940s, renovations took place to alter the interior of the tabernacle into a more functional meetinghouse with classrooms. However, in a short time, even these alterations were deemed inadequate and a new stake center was planned.</p><br>
<h2>Demolition</h2><br>
<p>After serving the Summit Stake and greater Coalville community for over 70 years, church administrators went through with plans to demolish the tabernacle. The building was listed on the Utah State Register of Historic Sites in 1970 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1971 shortly before demolition as attempts to preserve the building. There were other attempts to preserve the building, including a group of residents that tried to place a restraining order on the church, which garnered much media attention, including reports from the New York Times. However, two days after a judge struck down the restraining order, and amidst much controversy, church leaders removed some historically significant items from the tabernacle before bulldozers arrived. On March 5, 1971, the building was razed.</p><br>
<p>The Chuck Berry House is the former home of Chuck Berry in St. Louis, Missouri located at 3137 Whittier Street. The house was Berry&#39;s home when he wrote and first performed the majority of songs with which he is identified, including "Maybellene" , "Roll Over Beethoven" , "Too Much Monkey Business" , "Rock and Roll Music" , "School Day" , "Sweet Little Sixteen" , and "Johnny B. Goode" .</p><br>
<h2>Design and current status</h2><br>
<p>Built in 1910, the house is located in the Greater Ville, an economically depressed neighborhood of north St. Louis. The house is vacant, but retains features and integrity dating to Berry&#39;s residence, including an awning with a letter "B" for Berry on the front porch. The house is located on a narrow lot and is closely built to other similar houses; the exterior is red brick except for a small concrete-block addition in the rear built by Berry in 1956. The addition was built both to accommodate his growing family and perhaps to allow greater space for musical practice sessions.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the house includes its original floor plan, hardwood flooring, plaster walls, doors, and fixtures. The kitchen underwent a renovation in the late 1950s, while a metal front door and metal window grilles were installed at a later date. The house otherwise retains its appearance from the time of Berry&#39;s residence.</p><br>
<p>In 2008, the Chuck Berry House was listed in the National Register of Historic Places, which was an uncommon listing due to the house&#39;s association with a living figure.</p><br>
<h2>Residency of Chuck Berry</h2><br>
<p>Berry and his wife Thelmetta moved into the house in 1950 and lived in it for eight years. The house was Berry&#39;s home during the most critically acclaimed part of his career, and it represents the most significant site associated with Berry.</p><br>
<p>The Kanab Plateau is a 45-mile  long plateau located at the north of the Grand Canyon. The plateau is adjacent west of the Kaibab Plateau of the North Rim, with a basin containing the Kanab Creek watershed in between. The basin is the site of the Kanab Creek Wilderness, with Snake Gulch at its north perimeter, and at the base of the Kanab Plateau, forming its southeast border.</p><br>
<p>Kanab Creek is a due-south flowing creek, and crosses just southeast of the center of the Kanab Plateau. The creek is also the border of Mohave County to the west, and Coconino County to the east; Coconino County is also south on the border of the Colorado River.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Kanab Plateau is about 45-mi long, somewhat arc-shaped, as it surrounds Snake Gulch, a northeast tributary to Kanab Creek. The plateau is aligned southwest to northeast, with the same alignment of the small Antelope Valley, to the west and southwest.</p><br>
<p>The highpoint of the plateau is in the northeast, Cedar Knoll, 5,706 ft). Cedar Knoll is 11-mi from Fredonia on paved Road 22.</p><br>
<h2>Access</h2><br>
<p>The main access to the north of the Kanab Plateau is from Fredonia adjacent to the north-northeast plateau perimeter. USA Route 89A from Jacob Lake at the north of the Kaibab Plateau to the east, crosses the northeast Kaibab Plateau. It climbs up Cooper Ridge to the LeFevre Overlook, and from the overlook, the distance across the northeast plateau section to Fredonia, is about 8-mi.</p><br>
<p>To the southwest from Fredonia, Arizona State Route 389 parallels the plateaus northwest, (about 10-mi). The unimproved route of Antelope Valley Road exits southwest from Arizona 389 to Antelope Valleys east side at the perimeter of Kanab Plateau&#39;s west and southwest. Near the southwest end of the plateau, Road 1023 (22-mi from Arizona 389), exits southeasterly to meet the trailhead of Hack Canyon, about 5-mi from Kanab Creek.</p><br>
<p>Another paved route, Road 22, crosses Kanab Plateau southeasterly towards Jacob Lake. It crosses diagonally across the plateau, northeast of the center; Jacob Canyon is southwest, and Wildcat Canyon is northeast. The paved route is 23-mi long, terminating with an 8-mi section of unimproved canyon routes west of Jacob Lake. Cedar Knoll-(plateau highpoint), is at the 11-mi point on the route.</p><br>
<p>The Saint Joseph of the Lake Church is located on the Menominee Indian Reservation in Menominee County, Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Roman Catholic missionaries had settled in the area by 1875, serving both the Menominee and other white settlers. The cemetery for Roman Catholics and a burial ground for non-Roman Catholics were established soon after. Under the direction of Father Blase Krake, the church was constructed in the 1890s. The site would become a sanctuary for the Menominee to live their way of life. As the federal government of the United States began prohibiting many Native American tribes from speaking their traditional languages and performing their traditional ceremonies, the church allowed the Menominee to do such things on the property. It has been credited for allowing the Menominee way of life and traditions to be passed on to further generations.</p><br>
<p>The Greendale Historic District is a National Historic Landmark District encompassing the historic core of the village of Greendale, Wisconsin. The village core was designed in the 1930s as part of a New Deal program to establish so-called "greenbelt towns" as model suburbs, and is one of three such communities built by the federal government. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005 and designated as a National Historic Landmark in 2012.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Greendale was one of three greenbelt towns built by the federal government of the United States, along with Greenbelt, Maryland and Greenhills, Ohio, during the Great Depression. The greenbelt towns program was part of the New Deal. It was presented to USA President Franklin D. Roosevelt by Undersecretary of Agriculture Rexford Tugwell. Based on the garden city movement in England, the goal was to build new towns outside of population centers and aid the housing market by building new houses and slowing down the expansion of urban slums. One hundred major cities were studied as potential candidates to be the population center to have new town constructed near-by. Milwaukee, Wisconsin was chosen for, among other reasons, its varied and stable manufacturing sector and Greendale was built west of the city. During its construction, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt visited the site and later wrote that it had a "delightful site" and thought it was a "really good development." Then-USA Secretary of Agriculture and future USA Vice President Henry A. Wallace would also tour Greendale. Washington, D.C. and Cincinnati, Ohio were chosen as the population centers for Greenbelt and Greenhills, respectively.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Greendale is located southwest of Milwaukee, and its central core is roughly bounded by West Loomis Road, West Grange Avenue, Westway, and Southway. Its layout, as designed in the 1930s, has circulation patterns for both vehicular and non-vehicular movements, winding roads providing access to single-family and duplex homes, and a central business district that also houses municipal functions. Parks of various sizes are interspersed in the landscape. Originally three clusters of development were planned, but funding cuts meant that only one was actually built. Labor for the construction and development was funded in part by the Works Progress Administration. The principal municipal buildings of the village were designed by Walter G. Thomas in the Colonial Revival style. Utility lines were buried, and included a full complement of services: water, sewer, electricity, and telephone. Pedestrian circulation was designed so that public parks could be reached from residential areas without crossing any major roads. The residential buildings are typically two stories in height, with concrete cinder block walls finished in stucco on the outside and plaster on the inside.</p><br>
<p>Monte Barone is a mountain of the Alpi Biellesi, a sub-range of the Pennine Alps. Due to its isolation it offers a noteworthy point of view towards the Po plain and can be seen from quite a long distance away .</p><br>
<h2>Etymology</h2><br>
<p>The name comes from the Piedmontese language word for baron, which means heap or pile. The same etymology occurs for several other mountains like Colma di Mombarone or Monte Baron (Graian Alps).</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The mountain is located in the Sesia drainage basin between the Strona di Postua and the Sessera valleys, close to the border between the Province of Vercelli and the province of Biella. Administratively it is divided between the comunes of Coggiola and Caprile, both belonging to the province of Biella.</p><br>
<h3>SOIUSA classification</h3><br>
<p>According to the SOIUSA (International Standardized Mountain Subdivision of the Alps) the mountain can be classified in the following way:</p><br>
<p>main part=Western Alps</p><br>
<p>major sector=North Western Alps</p><br>
<p>section=Pennine Alps</p><br>

<p>Rioville, Nevada  was a settlement founded by Latter-day Saints in what they thought was Utah Territory in 1869, now under Lake Mead and within Clark County, Nevada.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Junction City, was located on the Colorado River, above its confluence with the Virgin River (also known as the Rio Virgin). Stones Ferry was purchased in 1870 and moved to a location adjacent to Junction City in 1876 and renamed Bonellis Ferry after its new owner Daniel Bonelli.</p><br>
<p>After being deserted by its first Mormon settlers in 1871, new settlers came in the 1880s, and renamed the town Rioville. It had its own post office from 1881-1906.</p><br>
<p>On July 8, 1879, Rioville became the uppermost landing for steamboats of the Colorado River, when Captain Jack Mellon piloted the steamboat Gila up river through Boulder Canyon to the town, making it the high water head of navigation on the Colorado River. From then until 1887 when silver mining activity declined, steamboats in high water, and from 1879 to 1882 the sloop Sou&#39;Wester in low water, carried locally mined salt to process silver ore in El Dorado Canyon. By the 1890s the settlement was virtually abandoned but the post office lingered to 1906 and the ferry until 1934.</p><br>
<h2>Present day</h2><br>
<p>The site of Rioville has been submerged under Lake Mead since the 1930s.</p><br>

<p>Americus Hotel is a historic hotel located at Allentown, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1926-1927, and is a 13-story yellow brick building. The building housed offices and residences until 2002, when it closed.</p><br>
<h2>Overview</h2><br>
<p>The Americus is a classic 1920s Jazz-Age hotel built by a group of Allentown businessmen who wanted a first-class hotel in the central business district. It was not to be palatial private "pleasure dome" like those of the 19th-century robber barons. Rather, it would be a hotel, a public facility that provided the best that world-class service and up-to-date technology could offer.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The site of the Americus Hotel had been used as a hotel since 1810, when the population of Allentown (then known as Northampton) was about 700. In that year, Abraham Gangawere built a two-story tavern on the northeastern corner of 6th and Hamilton Streets. Later, under the ownership of Charles Seagraves, one of the leading men of 19th-century Allentown, the inn was enlarged and renamed the Northampton Inn. In 1837, President Martin Van Buren had slept there.</p><br>
<p>The stagecoach line, of which Seagraves was one of the owners, made its headquarters there. By the time of World War I, now known as the American Hotel, the hotel was expanded in size to five stories. It was noted for its excellent cuisine and was used frequently by local salesmen and the traveling public.</p><br>
<h3>Construction</h3><br>
<p>But since its heyday in the 19th century, the old hotel had gone to seed. When Aaron Potruch purchased the lot from George W. Seagreaves&#39; estate for $500,000, he planned an office building. In 1924, he cleared the ground and tore down the hotel, but about a month later, Potruch was contacted by Gomery. At the time Gomery made the suggestion, the idea of a new hotel was something of a local joke. Over the years, according to press accounts, many new hotels had been proposed but never built.</p><br>
<p>In 1925, Albert D. "Bert" Gomery, as he was known to his friends, was president of Allentown&#39;s Chamber of Commerce. Born in Lehighton, the 50-year-old businessman had come to the city in 1894. With his brother J. Edgar, he had built the wholesale produce firm of Gomery Brothers into a prosperous company. In 1917, Gomery had branched out by purchasing from the Allentown College for Women (later Cedar Crest College) its building at 4th and Turner streets. This he converted into the College Hotel.</p><br>
<p>But unlike other builders, Gomery was leaving nothing to chance. Marshaling the full weight of his business influence, he formed a company with his brother, who was now co-partner with fellow Allentonian John C. Schwartz in Gomery & Schwartz of Philadelphia. This partnership was the agent for the Hudson Motor Car Co. in eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. Also included was Allentown National Bank cashier Frank Cressman. Along with W.A. Gibson of Philadelphia, they created the American Hotel Realty Co.</p><br>
<p>That winter, after an architectural competition, the Philadelphia firm of Ritter and Shay was awarded the contract. Their plans called for a 270-bedroom structure. After the first round of bids was submitted, Gomery found them too high. The process was repeated. After negotiations, the two sides reached a compromise: two more floors were added, giving a total of 324 bedrooms. Presumably this was done to increase the number of less-expensive rooms, thus making the hotel more attractive to business travelers.</p><br>
<p>In June 1926, the construction contract was awarded to the Philadelphia firm of Roberts and Roller. The work crews dug a new hole for the foundation, but work on the new building did not actually begin until July 17, 1926. As the weeks passed, the rigid steel skeleton of the Americus began to rise. At first, it was nothing more than a clatter of riveting jackhammers. But on the street level, its outline began to take shape. With its buff-colored brick, curved Romanesque arches and romantic if somewhat superfluous balconies, it echoed Coolidge-era America&#39;s passion for the exotic world of old Spain.</p><br>
<p>Construction went ahead rapidly. Gomery had promised that the building would be finished by Sept. 10, 1927, but things did not always run smoothly. First, there were some problems with the foundation. The high cost of materials brought more delays. But Gomery would not rest. He oversaw every detail down to the commission of Philadelphia artist George Harding to do the large murals for the hotel.</p><br>
<h3>Golden era</h3><br>
<p>Despite all the delays, the Americus Hotel opened for business only three days behind schedule. On Sept. 13, 1927.</p><br>
<p>In the newspapers of the day, it was reported that the hotel lounge was sunlit through large, full-length windows. The light reflected off the colorful tiles onto the overstuffed sofas and chairs. On the wall was a painting of a Spanish dancing girl, which "affords a suggestion of the life of entertainment," noted the Call, "... that attend life in the hotel for the weary traveler. In the kitchen, the gleam of pots and pans was evident even in the fuzzy newspaper photos. The kitchens staff of 22 promised to hum like a well-oiled watch. Swiss chef Werner Kloetzli, "formerly of the Palmer House, Chicago," and maitre dhotel Frederick Botta, who had known each other for years, "assured a cuisine that is second to none in the country," said the newspaper. It was written that as soon as one entered the building one felt a "changed atmosphere." It was "an air of refinement, just a little bit different, that persists on intruding itself as the splendor of the surroundings unfolds." The highly polished walnut furniture, the travertine marble floors, the colorful Harding murals and the polychrome chandeliers created a mood in which one could "visualize the glories of old Spain.</p><br>
<p>The official opening took place on the evening of September 13th. Reservations had been made in advance, but when the guest list hit 700, others had to be turned away. At 6:30 p.m., the guests, many in tuxedos and evening gowns, arrived to make an inspection tour of the hotel. Floral displays at strategic locations added to the Spanish garden atmosphere. Serenaded by a 28-piece orchestra directed by Albertus Meyers, the guests gathered in the hotel&#39;s dining room. Outside of the hotel, on North 6th Street, a series of storefronts were rented to various small businesses, such as tailor shops, watch repair, and the like.</p><br>
<p>For the next 40 years, the Americus Hotel was a centerpiece of the downtown business and retail district of Allentown. Many celebrities and notable people who visited the city stayed there, and it was common for the hotel to hold various receptions, balls, and high school graduation proms in its ballroom.</p><br>
<h3>Decline</h3><br>
<p>In the late 1970s, as the downtown area of Allentown began to change and decline, the fortunes of the hotel mirrored those of the city. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 23, 1984.</p><br>
<p>On August 7, 1985, the Moffa family sold the property to 29-year-old Mark Mendelson who bought the hotel from Albert and Anna Moffa for $1.25 million. Equibank provided the loan for the mortgage. Mendelson, who once described himself as a high school dropout who began working in Philadelphia&#39;s Italian Market as a preteen, brought hustle, aggressiveness and an eye toward underperforming properties to find bargain real estate. Former Allentown Mayor Joseph Daddona at that time called the deal "the most exciting thing in this part of town in many years."</p><br>
<p>City construction permit records show that Mendelson spent hundreds of thousands on renovations, not including amenities such as new furniture or improvements that didnt require permits. Mendelson said he invested millions in the hotel. The results showed, notably in the hotels dining room and ballrooms. Preservation organizations gave awards to Mendelson. The hotel further bolstered its image in 1988 by taking on the nameplate of the Radisson Hotel chain.</p><br>
<p>Only in his early 30s, Mendelson, by then a father of four, had already acquired the vacation lodge in Lower Towamensing Township and was poised to make two big deals in Philadelphia. By this time, Mendelson testified in a 1987 case, he owned perhaps 30 vehicles, including a boat and motorcycle. But it also was around this time that private businesses and public agencies began finding themselves in court with the Americus Center Inc. A handful of cases in 1986 and 1987 turned into dozens by 1990.</p><br>
<p>Things got so bad that in 1994 the Americus lost its affiliation with Radisson over late payments and bounced checks. Then, with nearly $5 million in liens against the hotel, it went to tax sale. Mendelson gambled that no one would bid on the property — thus becoming responsible for the unpaid bills — and won. At that time, Mendelson began to make amends by paying some of the hotels back taxes. Nevertheless, the Americus continued to spiral downward. The hotel went under the umbrella of the Clarion chain in 1995; by 1998 the Clarion affiliation was over. Broken elevators, leaky plumbing and accumulating garbage forced city inspectors to pull the hotels health license. In August 2002, after a series of fires, broken pipes, and elevator failures, the City of Allentown revoked the occupation permit of the hotel and its residents were forced to vacate the property.</p><br>
<p>During the mid 2000s, a series of legal battles between Mendleson and the city ensued with the hotel standing vacant in a deteriorated state. Unpaid assessments to the Downtown Improvement District Authority piled up to $21,744. With back taxes and fines totaling about $37,000 and a water and sewer bill of nearly $145,000 against Americus Center Inc., Allentown officials again said they were targeting the property for sheriff&#39;s sale.</p><br>
<p>Scaffolding and canvas was erected on the sidewalk both on Hamilton Street as well as North 6th Street to prevent falling masonry from injuring pedestrians. Also the storefront businesses on North 6th Street were ordered to close due to the deteriorating condition of the building. The city ordered utilities cut in 2005, and in 2007 it was ordered sealed to keep vagrants out of the property. In 2009, Mendleson filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and the hotel became owned by the City of Allentown, who held a $600,000 tax lien on the property.</p><br>
<h3>Redevelopment</h3><br>
<p>In 2009, Albert Abdouche, a local businessman obtained ownership of the hotel from the City for $676,000, and announced re-development plans. Trash was everywhere, the interior of the landmark was falling apart and the wiring was nothing short of a disaster. Abdouche spent $3.2 million to obtain the property and started improving it in February 2010. Over the next few years the exterior was repaired and much work was performed on the interior. In 2014 Abdouche applied for funding from the Allentown Neighborhood Improvement Zone (NIZ) Development Authority.</p><br>
<p>In February 2014, the project received a tentative go-ahead with $13.2 million in NIZ tax revenues for the project that will include 85 hotel rooms, 48 apartments, 10 retail storefronts, commercial office space, a street-level sports bar and other restaurants. In return, Abdouche agreed to an independent review of the project to ensure his construction estimates are correct, and that he be required to post a bond so, if the costs prove higher than projected, the Directors of the NIZ can seek another developer to finish the project.</p><br>
<p>The Kow Swamp, a freshwater lake and wetland, was formerly a swamp, that is now used for water storage. The lake is located in the Mallee region in north-central Victoria, Australia.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Kow Swamp lies in the Murray River valley, about 4.5 km west of the town of Gunbower and the Murray River, in the Shire of Campaspe. Its name comes from the Aboriginal word Ghow which refers to the white gypsum soil found at the swamp. It is a popular site for recreational fishing. Approximately 7 km in length and 4 km in width, the lake has a circumference of 15 km.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the late 19th century Kow Swamp was managed by local irrigation trusts for off-river storage. In 1900 the capacity was increased to 51,730 ML.</p><br>
<h3>Archaeology</h3><br>
<p>Kow Swamp is an archaeological site which has produced human skeletal remains dating from the late Pleistocene, over 10,000 years ago.</p><br>
<p>Dime Savings and Trust Company, also known as First Valley Bank, is a historic bank building located at Allentown, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1925, and is a "T"-shaped, five-story red brick building. The base is sheathed in limestone, and the distinctive brick and limestone attic level is reflective of the Art Deco style.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Dime Savings and Trust Company, though using a name first used in the 1840s, was founded in 1921 as the fifth largest bank in Allentown.</p><br>
<p>When constructed, the Dime Savings building was one of three principal buildings in the Allentown Central Business District, along with the Americus Hotel and the Pennsylvania Power and Light Building were all erected in the same two year span reflecting the Art Deco design in Allentown.</p><br>
<p>The interior main banking room is one of the best preserved monumental banking rooms of its day in the Allentown region. The room occupies the full width of the front wing, and extends back beyond the elevator core. At the rear it is spanned by a balcony that marks the full two stories of the room. The balcony is accented by a blind niche framed by engaged piers and consoles. The room itself is surrounded by a deep, dentillated cornice, similar to that of the exterior, which with the arcaded walls completes the sense of a monumental masonry space common to major banks. One final touch of note are a pair of handsome Art Deco bronze chandeliers with fluted sides that are suspended from the ceiling at each end of the room.</p><br>
<p>By the 1930 Depression it had become one of the largest in the city, but it failed by 1932, just seven years after it opened, leaving only its building to recall the financial. institutions and businessmen who had formed the Dime Savings and Trust Company.</p><br>
<p>After the banks failure, the Dime Savings and Trust Company building has spent most of its existence vacant while a series of owners tried and failed to find ways to use it. Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985, the monumental 1st floor room was restored in 1991 by a private owner, who was given a citywide award. It housed an antique market for a few years and survived the catastrophic 23 February 1994 sinkhole-caused collapse of its adjacent neighbor Corporate Plaza (22 N. Seventh St)</p><br>
<p>Since then, ownership changed hands several times, but the building remained vacant. It was later owned for a time by developer Abe Atiyeh, who put it up for auction on eBay in 2001. A Philadelphia-based creator of upscale furniture purchased it in 2004 and planned a combination restaurant/furniture showroom, only to abandon that plan in 2007.</p><br>
<h2>Redevelopment</h2><br>
<p>The building was renovated as part of the PPL Center project that began construction in 2012. The structure was incorporated into the Arena complex. The Dime Bank Building is used as the lobby for the 170-room Marriott Renaissance Hotel that is attached to the arena. Its two-story foyer, once the main banking area, houses the front desk and upper floors include offices and meeting space for the arena operators.</p><br>
<p>During the construction of the arena, the foundation was underpinned, and the building received additional stabilization. The facade was repaired with appropriate control joints, masonry supports and drainage that replaced systems failing in the current structure. New roofing and windows were installed, adding energy efficiency but designed to match the existing look.</p><br>
<p>However, because of leaking bricks, the arena owners decided to strip the exterior above the first floor off the building, down to its steel structural skeleton. The building&#39;s existing columns and beams were reinforced with steel plates to support new uses as the Dime Bank was incorporated into the arena. Lost was the iconic attic story, in classic art deco style. Also lost was the beautiful ornate ceiling in the monumental banking chamber.</p><br>
<p>The remaining parts of the building were incorporated into the Renaissance hotel, which opened in the summer of 2015. The on-site restaurant is named "The Dime" in recognition of the bank.</p><br>
<p>Allentown National Bank, also known as Meridian Bank, is a historic bank building located at Allentown, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1905, and is a large eight-story, steel frame and masonry-clad building in the Beaux-Arts style. The building was abandoned in the 1990s, however in the early 2000s, it was re-developed into apartments for independent living senior citizens. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Allentown architects Jacoby, Weishampel & Biggin designed the building in a Beaux Arts style. Today, it remains the last commercial structure downtown built in the Central business district of Allentown before 1920 that stands in its original condition.</p><br>
<p>Construction of the building started on 12 August 1903. Its steel framework was finished the following 7 May. The steel came from Guerber Engineering of west Bethlehem. The stonework was done by Carlucci Stone Co. of Scranton. The concrete ceilings were installed by Roebling Construction Co., founded by the same Roebling family that built the Brooklyn Bridge. One worker, Fred Mummey, died in the construction of the eight-story structure. He was knocked from a high steel beam on 4 February 1904, by the boom of a swinging derrick. It opened as Allentown Bank, on 15 March 1905.</p><br>
<p>When opened, it had a modern telephone exchange was tied in with both the Lehigh and Consolidated phone systems, the region&#39;s two phone companies. And the two "smoothly running hydraulic elevators" were said to be the ultimate in safety. The building has "A spacious dome 32 feet in height supported by 6 onyx columns surmounts the rotunda," noted a local newspaper at the time. The rotunda is not visible from the street. "The carving and molding is the work of Herman Merkel, a noted local sculptor.</p><br>
<p>In 1934, Allentown Bank became Allentown National Bank after being federally re-chartered as a National bank. The bank remained at that location until the mid-1950s, when it became the First National Bank. Operations were moved to a new building at the northeast corner of Seventh and Hamilton in 1959, which replaced the former Allen Hotel, and the structure was vacated. First National merged into Meridian Bank in the 1980s. The 1959 bank building also remained vacant until being razed in 2012 for the construction of Two City Center. During the 1970s and 1980s the Allentown National Bank building was home to several businesses and the Allentown Business School for a time. It again was vacated in the early 1990s.</p><br>
<h2>Current use</h2><br>
<p>In 2002, Pennrose Properties Inc., Philadelphia, purchased the property and converted the upper floors to independent living apartments for senior citizens.</p><br>
<p>The renovation also included the adjacent former Trojan Powder building (17 North 7th Street), that was built in 1912. The rehabilitative scope of work included the complete remediation of all environmentally hazardous elements and the removal on non-historical elements throughout the building; the complete stabilization of the structure of the buildings, including the stabilization of the ornamental cornices and façade elements; the restoration of the Allentown National Bank interior elements, including the removal of the floor inserted into the bank lobby and the restoration of the interior building elements; complete rehabilitation of the 11 floors of the Trojan Powder building and eight floors of the Allentown National Bank building into 63 apartments and related community spaces.</p><br>
<p>In 2007, Allentown Center Square Senior Housing re-opened with 63 one-bedroom apartment units for independent seniors aged 62 and older. The 62 one-bedroom units are sized at 548 square feet and rent for up to $469. There is one efficiency unit, which is 395 square feet and rents for $375. About half the units are targeted to people earning up to 60 percent of the median income. The development also has a gym, a computer lab, a community room, and an examining room for visiting doctors and nurses. Lease-up began April 2006, just a month before completion. Full occupancy was achieved in eight months.</p><br>
<p>Hotel Sterling is a historic hotel located at Allentown, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1889-1890, and is a three-story rectangular brick building. It is in the Romanesque Revival style with Queen Anne and Eastlake influences. It is three bays wide, with a gabled parapet at the middle bay. When nominated in 1980, the hotel had 33 sleeping rooms.</p><br>
<p>The hotel was built simultaneously with the constructions of the Allentown Terminal Railroad Station and Lehigh Valley Railroad Station directly across Hamilton Street to provide travelers a place to eat and stay in Allentown. With the end of passenger rail service in the 1960s, the hotel adapted to other uses. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>Today, the hotel is primarily used as a nightclub, with live music acts performing.</p><br>
