<p>Mount Saga is a mountain located on the border of Futtsu and Kyonan, Chiba Prefecture. Mount Saga has an elevation of 315.5 m and is one of the peaks of the Mineoka Mountain District of the Bōsō Hill Range.</p><br>
<h2>Narcissus cultivation</h2><br>
<p>Mount Saga is home to one of the largest areas of narcissus flower cultivation in Japan. The flowers are grown in terraced plots along the slopes of the mountain, mostly those facing Kyonan. The plantings are primarily of the Nihon variety of narcissus, which probably originated in south China and came to Japan via the Kuroshio Current. Mount Saga has been used for narcissus cultivation from at least the Edo period 1603&ndash;1868. The daimyō Matsudaira Sadanobu (1759&ndash;1829), administrator of Shirakawa Domain in present-day Fukushima Prefecture, visited the area in 1811 and noted the mountain and its narcissus cultivation in his diary.</p><br>
<p>Cultivation has spread to the peak of Mount Saga. The Japanese word for narcissus is suisen, and the summit of Mount Saga is known as Suisen Peak. The mountain is a popular hiking destination from late December to early February when the narcissus bloom.</p><br>
<h2>Hiking routes</h2><br>
<p>The peak of Mount Saga can be reached from either Futtsu or Kyonan.</p><br>
<p>Kyonan&ndash;JR East&#39;s Uchibō Line Hota Station to Kyonan Chōei Bus, Kobota Stop. Suisen Peak is an hour and a half hike from the bus stop.</p><br>
<p>Futtsu&ndash;Suisen Peak is an hour-and-a-half to two-hour hike from the Kyonan-Hota Interchange on the Futtsu Tateyama Road.</p><br>
<p>The Houmas, also known as Burnside Plantation and currently known as Houmas House Plantation and Gardens, is a historic plantation complex and house museum in Burnside, Louisiana. The plantation was established in the late 1700s, with the current main house completed in 1840. It was named after the native Houma people, who originally occupied this area of Louisiana. The complex, containing eight buildings and one structure, and the 10 acre they rest upon, was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 27, 1980.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Houmas plantation had its beginnings when Alexander Latil and Maurice Conway appropriated all of the Houma tribe&#39;s land on the east side of the Mississippi River in 1774. Alexander Latil built a French Colonial style plantation house at the site around 1775.</p><br>
<p>It was a working sugarcane plantation by 1803, when the United States obtained the area through the Louisiana Purchase. Shortly afterwards The Houmas was purchased by Daniel Clark, who began to develop the property and built one of the first sugar mills along this stretch of the river. In June 1807, Clark and territorial Governor William C. C. Claiborne fought a duel on the property, in which Claiborne sustained a gunshot wound to his leg.</p><br>
<p>In 1811, former American Revolutionary War general Wade Hampton purchased Daniel Clark&#39;s land holdings and slaves. Hampton was one of the wealthiest landowners and largest slaveholders in the antebellum era South.</p><br>
<p>The earliest surviving building is the original main house. Its construction date is the source of contention among scholarly sources, with some believing it is the original Latil house, with later alterations. Others point to evidence that it is from the Wade Hampton era. It is a Federal style two-story, brick building with end wall gables and chimneys and a stuccoed exterior. It has two rooms on each floor with a central hall and staircase and is linked to the later main house by a carriageway.</p><br>
<p>Management of the property was taken over by John Smith Preston about 1825. Preston was married to Caroline Hampton, Wade Hamptons daughter. The Prestons built a new main house in front of the old one in 1840. The Greek Revival mansion is two-and-a-half stories high and surrounded by 14 monumental Doric columns on three sides. The hipped roof is crowned with arched dormer windows and a belvedere. Additional structures from this period include matching brick octagonal garconnières, or bachelors quarters. They are two-stories, with a sitting room on the first floor and a bedroom on the second. There are also numerous other brick service structures adjacent to the house.</p><br>
<p>The more than 10,000 acre estate was sold to John Burnside, a native of Belfast, Ireland, in 1857. Burnside had increased the acreage to 12,000 acre within the span of a few years and built four sugar mills to process his crop. With approx 750 slaves on it and Burnside&#39;s many surrounding plantations, it was the center of the largest slave holding in Louisiana prior to the American Civil War.</p><br>
<p>During the war, plans were made to use the plantation house as a headquarters for Union general Benjamin Franklin Butler, who governed New Orleans for about seven months following the city&#39;s capture in May 1862. Burnside, still a citizen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, reputedly prevented this by suggesting that international complications would arise if his estate was seized by Federal authorities.</p><br>
<p>A lifelong bachelor, John Burnside died in 1881 and left the estate to a friend, Oliver Beirne. It then went to William Porcher Miles, Beirne&#39;s son-in-law. Following the death of Miles in 1899, the property began to be divided up and the house began to fall into disrepair. The Mississippi River flood in 1927 and the Great Depression further endangered the property.</p><br>
<p>The house and what was left of the property was finally purchased by Dr. George B. Crozat in 1940. Crozat began an ambitious program of restoration of the house and gardens. In the process he stripped off some of the original decorative elements of the interior and exterior to give the house a simpler, "Federal style," look.</p><br>
<h2>Filming location</h2><br>
<p>The Houmas has been the filming location for a variety of motion pictures, television series and commercials. Houmas House is most associated with the Bette Davis movie Hush… Hush, Sweet Charlotte (1964), in which the house has a Tara-like presence.</p><br>
<p>Other films shot in part at The Houmas include Mandingo (1975), Fletch Lives (1988), and Love, Wedding, Marriage (2011). Television films and series include Moon of the Wolf (1972), A Woman Called Moses (1976), Big Bob Johnson and His Fantastic Speed Circus (1978), All My Children (1981), A Taste of Louisiana with Chef John Folse and Company (one episode, 1990), Snow Wonder (2006), K-Ville (2007), Top Chef (one episode, 2009), Midnight Bayou (2009), Revenge of the Bridesmaids (2010), Wheel of Fortune (one episode, 2011), and "The Bachelor" (one episode, 2017). Commercials have been shot at the plantation for Budweiser, Virginia Slims, Best Buy, Hibernia National Bank, and the Louisiana Office of Tourism.</p><br>
<p>Zollinger-Harned Company Building, now known as The Sovereign Building, is a historic department store building located at Allentown, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Allentown&#39;s third department store, Zollinger-Harned, has its origins in the dry goods firm of Lawfer & Steckel, founded by William R. Lawfer and W. R. Steckel in 1866 at 626 Hamilton Street. The store carried a large stock of Dry Goods, Notions and Groceries. The Business was continued by the original partners until 1874, when Mr. Steckel disposed of his interest to George W. Hartzell. Mr. Hartzell retired in 1876 and the firm was re-constituted as W.R. Lawfer & Company.</p><br>
<p>W.R. Lawfer expanded the business and erected a double building at 611/613 Hamilton Street about 1880. The present-day Sovereign Building retains this basic design. A second expansion added the stores at 607 and 609 Hamilton Street to the store, with Lawfer advertising the store as "Allentown&#39;s Big Department Store".</p><br>
<p>Lawfer and John Wanamaker of Philadelphia were friends, as Lawfer had worked for Wanamaker in the 1850s and 1860s prior to opening his own store in Allentown. It was from Wanamaker&#39;s Department store that Lawfer began decorating his store, as early as 1904 at Christmas. Lawfer’s was the first local department store to feature a separate toy department that it called “Toyland.” At the center of the toy display that Christmas was a 24-foot-tall, one ton figure it called “Santa Claus’ Father.” It is not known if this was an attempt to combine the English figure known as “Father Christmas” with Nast’s character. On December 9, 1905 local newspapers ran the first announcement of Lawfer’s live Santa Claus. “Visit Santa Claus at his Cave in Toyland,” it read. “If you haven’t paid Santa a visit in his pretty Toyland, you had better come soon. Santa remembers every little face, you know, and he says there are some chubby little folks on his list he hasn’t seen yet. Bring your letters and put them in the letter box in his cave.”</p><br>
<p>In 1906 due to ill health, Lawfer sold a major interest in the store to Clarence J. Early, and the name was changed to Lawfer-Early. However the next year, with his health further failing Lawfer sold his interests to William C. Harned and the ownership was totally reorganized and the name changed to Harned-Early. In a further reorganization in 1909 William R. Zollinger purchased Early&#39;s interests with the store again being renamed the Zollinger-Harned Company. William Zollinger brought much experience into the partnership as he lived in Sandusky, Ohio and operated the Zollinger Department store the 1880s. The new owners tore down the amalgamation of separate storefronts and erected a single large three-story building at 607-613 Hamilton that wrapped around to the right with a double storefront at 14-16 North Sixth Street.</p><br>
<p>In 1922 William Zollinger died, and his interests were purchased by the Vollmer family. In 1926, the store expanded again by purchasing 605 Hamilton Street which it incorporated into its existing building. As part of the expansion, the store was remodeled into a seven bay wide building with Classical Revival style influences. It featured architectural terra cotta panels and richly detailed bronze display window surrounds. This remodeling was completed in 1926.</p><br>
<p>The store operated successfully for decades, and was the first of the Allentown department stores to open a branch at the suburban Whitehall Mall in 1966. In 1970, Donald Vollmer, then president of the store, purchased Bears Department Store in York, Pennsylvania and renamed it Zollinger-Harned, becoming the third store in the then Zollinger-Harned chain. A fourth store in the Wyoming Valley Mall near Wilkes-Barre was opened in 1971.</p><br>
<p>However, like many other major department stores in the 1970s, suburbanization and the growth of shopping malls led to declining sales of large department stores in Central Business Districts. In 1975 Zollinger&#39;s was still profitable, but in 1976 the losses began to mount up. In February 1977 Vollmer sold his interest to Allentown clothier Sigmund Levin for $1 and other considerations. A month later, Levin filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection from creditors while the company reorganized. Over the next 11 months, the company went through a variety of efforts to return to financial health.</p><br>
<p>The slide continued, however. A few months after the petition was filed, the company abandoned its York store and its merchandise was eventually sold and the store closed. In October 1977, the Wyoming Valley Mall store was sold to Hess&#39;s. Lastly, the Allentown flagship and the Whitehall Mall stores lasted through the Christmas shopping season of 1977. However Zollinger-Harned filed for complete Bankruptcy on 30 January 1978, and closed its doors for the last time.</p><br>
<h2>Sovereign Building</h2><br>
<p>The Whitehall Mall store was sold to Leh&#39;s Department Store, however for several years the flagship store on Hamilton Street in Allentown remained vacant. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. In December 1982 the Allentown store was purchased by Sovereign Realty and Development. The building was renovated and reopened as the Sovereign Building in May 1984. Renovations included a glass-arched entrance from a pedestrian plaza between Hamilton and Court streets leading to a "grapefruit-domed" lobby with a decor of antique brass, mirrors, greenery and wing-backed chairs. The main floor and basement were developed into retail spaces, while the upper floors were turned into 42 private office suites.</p><br>
<p>Sovereign later went into financial difficulties and the building was sold at a sheriffs sale on 22 September 1989. Today the building is operated as an office building by an owner who resides in Philadelphia.</p><br>
<p>Neuweiler Brewery, also known as Germania Brewery, is a historic brewery complex located at Allentown, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. The complex was built between 1911 and 1913, and consists of the office building, brew house, stock house, pump house, wash house, chemistry lab building, boiler room, bottling house, garage, fermenting cellar, and smokestack with the name "Neuweiler" on it. The office building is a two-story, brick and granite building. The remaining buildings in the complex are built of brick. The brew house stands six-stories, and has a copper hipped roof with cupola. The stock house is a long, narrow four-story building. The brewery closed in 1968.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Neuweiler Brewery was founded by Louis Neuwiler, who bought out longtime local brewer Benedict Nuding in 1900. Nuding’s operation was limited by its location, and in 1911 Neuweiler and his son, Charles, eager to expand, hired Philadelphia architects Peukert and Wunder to build a new complex some distance away, at Front and Gordon streets.</p><br>
<p>The brewery, featuring its own generators for electric power, opened in 1913. By 1932, the brewery buildings and the warehouse building were joined as one structure, and the former machine warehouse became an independent electric plant with an ammonia tank and ice machine. A pump warehouse had been added onto the northwest corner of the former stock warehouse, and a two-story bottling plant with a basement was located to the north of the other buildings. Neuweiler produced several brands of beer: Light Lager, Cream Ale, Stock Ale, Premium Ale, Bock (seasonal), Half & Half, Porter, Stout and Hochberg. Most were available in the 12 oz. "Steinies" or Export bottles, quarts, cans or kegs. When in full operation, Neuweilers was one of Allentowns largest employers.</p><br>
<p>By 1950, the bottling plant was extended to the corner of North Front Street and Liberty Street, the stock warehouse was extended toward North Front Street, and a tile ash hopper was located behind the boiler house.</p><br>
<p>Brewery operations ceased in 1968 due to competition from national breweries. However, the Neuweiler recipes and brand names were purchased by the Ortlieb Brewery of Philadelphia, who also purchased the Fuhrmann and Schmidt (Shamokin) breweries in 1966. After the brewery&#39;s closure, the F&S Brewery produced several of the Neuweiler beers (Porter, Light Lager and Cream Ale) from around 1970 until closing in 1975. After F&S closed, the Ortlieb brewery continued Neuweiler Cream Ale at the Philadelphia plant until the late 1970s.</p><br>
<p>The building was abandoned for over two decades until the bottling house was leased to Ingnatios Hadjiloukas from 1992 to 1998. Mr. Hadjiloukas operated a pesticide, herbicide and detergent re-manufacturing business under the company names of J.L. Hoffman Company and Trading, Inc. for a period of approximately ten years. The Site was abandoned in the fall of 1998 and has been vacant ever since.</p><br>
<p>Today, although the buildings have been vacant and/or underutilized since the Brewerys closing in 1968; the towering structure and copper cupola atop the brew house has been an iconic part of the Citys skyline for nearly 100 years symbolizing Allentown’s rich industrial history.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. The site is currently listed on Preservation Pennsylvania’s “Pennsylvania at Risk” list.</p><br>
<h2>Neuweiler and the Neighborhood Improvement Zone</h2><br>
<p>Neuweiler was recently zoned as part of the Waterfront Redevelopment district of the new NIZ (Neighborhood Improvement Zone) in Allentown. A New York Firm, Ruckus Marketing, purchased the brewery for $1.7 million in March 2014. It currently has plans to redevelop the entire property, converting the majority into a new brewing facility. The remainder of the space will be converted to mixed use commercial office space. The new plans call for a $30 million renovation.</p><br>
<p>Trout Hall is a historic home located at Allentown, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. It is the oldest home in Allentown, built between 1768 and 1770, and is a 2 1/2-story, stone dwelling in the Georgian style. It was built as a summer home by James Allen, the third son of William Allen, founder of Allentown. Today, it houses the library and museum of the Lehigh County Historical Society.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1735, William Allen (1704-1780) a wealthy shipping merchant, purchased 5,000 acres of land in northern Pennsylvania. By 1762, he had laid out the plans of a 42-block town that he called Northampton. The name however, never took hold, and the settlement was commonly known as Allen’s Town, and then simply combined to Allenstown, and eventually became Allentown.</p><br>
<p>James (1742-1778), Allen’s third son, followed in his father’s footsteps. After graduating from college in 1759 and law school in 1765, he was admitted to practice law before the Supreme Court. On October 6, 1767, he was elected as common councilman in Philadelphia and later elected to the Assembly by an almost unanimous vote. Since his busy life allowed little time to manage Allentown himself, he delegated the responsibilities of running it to the people he trusted most. At times, however, he would make the 60 mile journey from Philadelphia to Allentown, eventually justifying the need for his own house. He decided to build a two story stone house, which he called Trout Hall, after the abundance of game trout along the various creeks and the Lehigh River that surrounded Allentown. James Allen died of tuberculosis on September 19, 1778. After he died, his wife remarried and his daughters became frequent residents.</p><br>
<p>On May 17, 1789, James Allen&#39;s daughters left Allentown, and the home would be unused until the winter of 1825. James’ eldest daughter, Anne Penn Greanleaf, gave a few blocks of the original property where Trout Hall was situated to her daughter. It was at this time that the name Trout Hall was dropped and the home was renamed “The Livingston Manor”.</p><br>
<p>The Livingstons were merchants, and in 1847, when a business deal went bad the house and surrounding land was sold to make up for his lost profits. The new owner, Comegys Paul, sold the house a week later and earned a tidy profit for the sale. In 1848 it become the Allentown Seminary, and in 1867 became the original location of Muhlenberg College.</p><br>
<p>On January 9, 1904, the Lehigh County Historical Society was founded to find and restore historical landmarks in the Lehigh County. Their goal was to preserve the home’s past and one way the Society planned to do this was to restore the east wing that had not been touched in decades. One year later, in 1905, Muhlenberg College relocated its campus, and the Historical Society renamed the building Trout Hall again.</p><br>
<p>Used now as a museum, it houses revolutionary artifacts for the public to view and also showcases its antiquated style of architecture. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>The Thomas Cook House is a historic house located at 853 North Seventeenth Street in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 16, 1986.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The 2-1/2 story Victorian style house was designed by noted architect E. Townsend Mix, and originally belonged to Thomas Cook, a pioneer who owned and operated limestone quarries. It now serves as Out House for Marquette University.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Thomas Cook House is a Victorian Gothic style residence. It is two stories with an attic level and sits on a high foundation of rock-faced, coursed ashlar limestone. Originally built as a double-house and now subdivided into six apartments, the plan centeres on a rectangular block with a broadly sloping chalet style roof and center gabled pavilion on the main facade. The Cook House is of frame construction encased with Milwaukee cream brick laid in common bond and trimmed with limestone in the banding, sills and lintels. The architectural character of this structure is derived from its picturesque but rustic decoration and detailing...</p><br>
<p>The Thomas Cook House is locally significant as a unique example of Victorian Gothic style residential architecture designed by master architect Edward Townsend Mix. Emblematic of the picturesque period in American house design as popularized in Andrew Jackson Downing&#39;s books of "Gothic" cottages, "Italian" villas and "Swiss" chalets, the Cook House with its combination of Gothic details and chalet style roof is a rarity in Milwaukee. In the context of similar residences from this period, the Cook House has remained as one of the best examples of the style and is known as the only one of its kind in the city.</p><br>
<p>Thomas Cook was a pioneer stone merchant who owned and operated extensive limestone quarries in Waukesha County. He began his business in 1853 and joined with Edwin Hyde in 1860 to form Cook and Hyde Stone Co. The firm was quite prolific supplying building stone to many of the city&#39;s major residential and commercial buildings of the nineteenth century.</p><br>
<p>Gauff-Roth House is a historic home located at 427–443 Auburn St, Allentown, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. It features a wraparound porch, third floor balcony, a polygonal turret, and a hipped roof with multiple gables and dormers.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built in 1880 for Mary Craig and Elizabeth Craig Gauff with money inherited from their grandfather. Mary met William Gangewere while the house was being constructed and married him. She lived only a short time in the home or not at all.</p><br>
<p>The home is a 2 1/2-story, irregular rectangular brick dwelling in the Queen Anne style. It has 66 windows, two working chimneys and two interior non- functional chimneys. Inside the house, is an oak staircase stretching three floors, 43 doors and extensive wood decoration have retained their original finish with few minor changes over the years.</p><br>
<p>Throughout its history, the home was occupied by the Gauff family in 1880, the Roths in 1930, and the Ziegler&#39;s in 1982. At one Sunday dinner, Wilbur Roth discovered the hobo at his table was the brother of a prominent Allentonian. Out of concern, he called the brother, but was asked not to meddle in family affairs.</p><br>
<p>Kenneth Roth, whose parents, Wilbur and Bertha Roth, bought the house lived in the home until 1944, says his mother was reluctant to move into the mansion, but for a different reason. The Roths had been living in a city-owned home in Lehigh Parkway and she wanted to stay on there. She waited until the summer&#39;s end with their children before joining her husband in the mansion.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. The home was completely renovated in the mid-1990s.</p><br>
<p>Jacob Ehrenhardt Jr. House, also known as the 1803 House, is a historic home located at Emmaus, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1803, and is a 2 1/2-story, fieldstone house, with a Federal side-hall plan. It has a 1 1/2-story, rear kitchen wing. It features a slate-covered roof. The house was restored in the 1980s. It is open as a historic house museum. Originally it had changed so that the toilet was near the old living room. A Rodale-funded restoration put furniture back in their correct rooms.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Ehrenhardt Sr. had been one of the founders of Emmaus as a settlement of the Moravian Church in 1747. His son, Jacob Ehrenhardt Jr. joined the Northampton County militia in 1782 and served in the American Revolution. He was expelled from the Moravian Church for serving in the military, but was later accepted back. He worked as a shoemaker, farmer and tavern keeper. The house was occupied into the 1950s.</p><br>
<p>The house is open for tours by appointment by the Friends of 1803 House.</p><br>
<p>The Khazar Islands , also known as Caspian Islands, is a planned development of artificial islands 25 km  south of Baku, Azerbaijan consisting of 41 islands extending 3,000 hectare over the Caspian Sea.</p><br>
<h2>Overview</h2><br>
<p>Avesta, the company responsible for the islands&#39; development, is constructing the city to house 1 million residents, contain 150 schools, 50 hospitals and daycare centers, numerous parks, shopping malls, cultural centers, university campuses, a Formula 1 quality racetrack, and the Azerbaijan Tower (expected to be the tallest in the world). The $2 billion tower is to be the centerpiece of the Khazar Islands, a $100 billion city of 41 artificial islands that will spread 3,000 hectares over the Caspian Sea.</p><br>
<p>All of these facilities are planned to be able to withstand up to magnitude 9.0 earthquakes. The city will be equipped with 150 bridges and a large municipal airport to connect the islands to the mainland.</p><br>
<p>The president of the Avesta Group of Companies, Ibrahim Ibrahimov, told reporters that American, Turkish, Arab and Chinese investors have already showed their interest in the project that will be, in his words, like a "new Venice".</p><br>
<p>The project is scheduled to be completed between 2020 and 2025.</p><br>
<p>The Bad Pass Trail, also known as the Sioux Trail, was established by Native Americans on the border of present-day Montana and Wyoming as a means of access from the Bighorn Basin in Wyoming to Bison-hunting grounds in the Grapevine Creek area of Montana. Marked by stone cairns, the trail led across Bad Pass and was established in pre-Columbian times. After Europeans arrived in the area it was frequented by fur trappers and mountain men, beginning in 1824. Trappers assembled pack trains at the junction of the Shoshone River and the Bighorn River, using the Bad Pass Trail to avoid Bighorn Canyon. The trail ended at the mouth of Grapevine Creek on the Bighorn, from which the pack train could float down the Bighorn on rafts to the Yellowstone River and then to the Missouri and on to St. Louis.</p><br>
<p>Approximately three hundred cairns are known to exist along the trail, particularly in Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area. The cairns are believed to have been built incrementally, with passer-by placing stones on the pile as a good luck offering. Much of the trail itself has been altered beyond recognition by the construction of an access road for area ranches. The trail runs along the western side of Bighorn Canyon. It is estimated to have been in use for ten to twelve thousand years. The trail features as many as one thousand tipi rings on either side of the trail, some of which have been evaluated by archeologists.</p><br>
<p>The Bad Pass Trail was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 29, 1975.</p><br>
<p>The Kreuzberg  is a hill in the Kreuzberg locality of Berlin, Germany, in former West Berlin. It rises about 66 m above the sea level. It was named by King Frederick William III of Prussia after the Iron Cross which crowns the top of the Prussian National Monument for the Liberation Wars, designed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel, on its inauguration on 30 March 1821. On 27 September 1921 the borough assembly of the VIth borough of Berlin decided to name the borough after the hill. The borough was subsequently downgraded to a locality in 2001,</p><br>
<h2>Other names for the hill</h2><br>
<p>Former names of the Kreuzberg were Sandberg (sand mountain), Runder Berg (1524) or Runder Weinberg (Round Mountain or Round Wine Mountain/Vineyard), Tempelhofer Berg and corrupted Templower Berg (both Tempelhof Mountain), Götzens Berg (1798) or Götzescher Berg (1818; both Götze&#39;s Mountain), Kreutzberg (1822, 1834) and Kreuzberg (1856). Since the 1850s the hill was also nicknamed Monte Cruce or Monte Croce.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>The Kreuzberg is a natural hill and forms part of the Tempelhofer Berge range (Tempelhof hills) stretching along the northern descent of the Teltow Plateau between Schöneberg and the Rollberge in Neukölln. It rises about 66 m above the sea level and 32 m above the northerly adjacent Berlin-Warsaw glacial valley. The Teltow Plateau is a flatly undulating ground moraine landscape. The Kreuzberg&#39;s relatively steep northern slope derives from the erosion by meltwater running into the Berlin-Warsaw glacial valley, when it was formed by the Weichselian glaciation. The Berlin-Warsaw glacial valley stretches to 5 km between the southern Kreuzberg and the northern Prenzlauer Berg, thus forming here the narrowest point between the northerly Barnim Plateau and southern Teltow Plateau.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The oldest surviving record mentioning the Kreuzberg is a deed of gift of 1290, by which Knight Jacob of Nybede (Jakob von Nybede/Niebede) from the Knights Templar commandry in Tempelhof donated the Berlin Franciscans a brick bakery and a loam pit on the northerly slope of the Kreuzberg. At road constructions in the Methfesselstraße in the 1830s workers discovered under the roots of a felled tree the remnants of a mediaeval brick bakery, probably the premise where the bricks for Berlin&#39;s Franciscan Cloister Church (Franziskaner-Klosterkirche) have been manufactured.</p><br>
<p>The Kreuzberg, as well as the fields and farmland north and south of it used to belong to the village land of Tempelhof, a fief first held by the Knights Templar and with their suppression in 1312, Margrave Waldemar the Great enfeoffed it to the Knights Hospitallers of St. John in 1318. On 23 September 1435 Order Master Balthasar von Schlieben of the Knights Hospitaller sold – among others – the Kreuzberg to Berlin-Cölln.</p><br>
<p>After the subjection of Cölln and neighbouring Berlin by the new Hohenzollern Prince-Elector Frederick Irontooth of Brandenburg in 1442/1448, and his abolition of their union and semi-autonomy, he seized Cölln&#39;s feudal seigniority over the Kreuzberg and the surrounding area in his favour.</p><br>
<p>On 15 July 1524 Prince-Elector Joachim I Nestor and his entourage fled to the top of the Kreuzberg (then called Runder Berg), the highest of the Tempelhofer Berge, in order to survive a flood predicted for that day by his court astronomer Johann Carion. After spending much of the day on the Kreuzberg in vain, at about 16:00 h, Electress Elizabeth of Denmark urged her husband to leave. They returned to town, where a thunderstorm started and a lightning killed four horses and the coachmen. According to another source the news of their frightful flight had spread among the Cöllners and Berliners, many of whom had tried to get as well onto the Kreuzberg, but were kept out by electoral guards. On their return the crowd awaited the elector and his entourage and welcoming him laughing.</p><br>
<p>In 1553 Joachim I Nestor ordered to plant vines on the slopes, in the private parcels on the slope as well as on the electoral slopes. He employed vinitors, called wine masters, each responsible for a vineyard of a certain size, becoming namegiving for the Weinmeisterweg (i.e. wine master way, todays Kreuzbergstraße right at the northern foot of the Kreuzberg. For 1595 Cöllns financial chamber accounted for the sale of 36 tuns of wine for 144 rixdollars, partially exported to Poland-Lithuania, Saxony, and Sweden.</p><br>
<p>On 19 June 1631 King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden captured the southerly adjacent Tempelhof Field, took the Tempelhofer Berge range and positioned cannons threatening to shoot Berlin and Cölln in order to force his brother-in-law Elector George William to support the Swedish efforts in the Thirty Years War (1618–1648). The severe devastations and depopulation by the Thirty Years War caused the death or flight of many a vinitor, entailing the neglection and abandonment of their vineyards. The slopes became deserted and turned into sandy wasteland.</p><br>
<p>In 1718 Elector Frederick William II of Brandenburg (as Frederick William I King in Prussia) sold the vineyards covered by today&#39;s Heimstraße and the hills west thereof, and it were mostly the electoral wine masters already employed on them, who bought them and continued viticulture. However, alternative usages of the slopes remained mostly successless, so many slopes became again deserted and turned into wasteland, some owners continued viticulture. Western German wine had meanwhile outdone the local competition.</p><br>
<p>On the Kreuzberg, like on some neighbouring hills, remained vineyards until 1739/1740, when a hefty frost killed most of the vine stock, among them Red Malvasian and Muscateller are recorded. In 1760 Austrian and Russian confederated troops under Tottleben defeated the defenders of Berlin on the Tempelhof Field and on October 3 posted their cannons on the Tempelhofer Berge shooting into Berlin. The city surrendered and the confederated troops occupied Berlin for four days between October 9 and 12.</p><br>
<p>During the War of the Sixth Coalition against France, in 1813 Colonel Hermann von Boyen prompted to work sconces south of Runder Berg (today&#39;s Kreuzberg) and the other hills of the Tempelhofer Berge range. Citizens of Berlin were draughted to work the sconces supervised by Captain Woldemar von Loos, among them also prominent figures such as Johann Gottlieb Fichte, August Wilhelm Iffland and Johann Gottfried Schadow. On top of the Kreuzberg, protected by the sconce on its southern slope, a redoubt was built comprising seven bomb-safe powder magazines, two huts for altogether 500 men, officially called the Citadel of Berlin.</p><br>
<p>Alone on the Kreuzberg 20 cannons were put up directing towards the approaching French Armée de Berlin under Oudinot. However, with the Allied Northern Army under Crown Prince Charles XIV John of Sweden defeating the French already in the Battle of Großbeeren on August 23, the sconce was never used for defence and was later called Lärmkanonenschanze (noise cannon sconce). Already in September 1813 the sloppily constructed huts of the citadel collapsed.</p><br>
<p>After negotiations on 27 August 1818 the merchant Gottfried Wilhelm August Tietz, the farming burgher Johann Friedrich Götze and Christian Weimar (Weymann) sold the top of the Kreuzberg (then called Götzescher Berg, i.e. Götzes mountain) measuring 1.5 Prussian Morgen (2,839.83 m&sup2;) and land for an access path. On 4 September 1818 King Frederick William III of Prussia approved the stipulated price of thalers 1,100 and an additional 400 as compensation for fixtures lost through the fortificatory works in 1813. The semi-circular original access path, measuring a width of 20 Prussian feet (6.3 m), and branching off Methfesselstraße, was already under construction at that time. The adjacent land, measuring 72 Morgen (18.38 hectare), remained property of Götze, Tietz and Weimar. In June 1820 the Lärmkanonenschanze was levelled again.</p><br>
<p>For 19 September 1818 Duke Charles of Mecklenburg arranged the laying of the foundation stone for the war memorial projected for the top of the Kreuzberg and designed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel. However, the walls and moats of the sconces and the redoubt could not be completely levelled until the ceremony, so that scaffoldings were erected, allowing to overlook the remnants of the so-called citadel. Masons laid a brick structure up to the level of the scaffoldings so that the foundation stone was to be laid on top of this structure, with the ground level around only later to be elevated to the same height. The laying of the foundation stone was attended - among others - by the king, Tzar Alexander I, Christian Daniel Rauch and Schinkel.</p><br>
<p>A bit northeast of the hills top, deeper on the slope thus not blocking the view, a guards house was erected after Schinkel&#39;s design in 1821. It was a brick structure in Gothic Revival style adorned with a Lombard band all around beneath the eaves of the flat pyramidal roof. On 1 January 1822 the invalid Martin Herborn moved in, employed to guard the monument. In 1822 the Götze family still lived at the foot of the Kreuzberg in a farm later replaced by the houses Kreuzbergstraße 76 and 75.</p><br>
<p>In 1837 the bankrupted Tivoli on the Kreuzberg was put up for public auction. After March Revolution of 1848 the royal government and its police had to reduce their authoritarianism and left smoking to everybody&#39;s own discretion.</p><br>
<p>The Tivoli burnt down after several further bankruptcies in 1856. Its name lived on in the brewery of the Berliner Brauereigesellschaft Tivoli (Berlin Brewery Company of Tivoli), built by Gustav Junghahn on the site of the former amusement park between 1857 and 1859.</p><br>
<p>In 1878 Johann Wilhelm Schwedler carried out Johann Heinrich Strack&#39;s plans to elevate and turn the monument by 21° with its front into the axis of the Großbeerenstraße, before it was set to rest on its new 8 m socket building. In 1879 Guido von Madai, president of the royal police, decreed a maximum height of buildings in the adjacent streets to uphold the visibility of the monument on the Kreuzberg. The ordinance, however, was annulled by the groundbreaking 1882 "Kreuzberg judgement" of the Prussian Royal administrative court, stating that the police had exceeded its authority to ensure public security. On 14 December 1887 the city of Berlin acquired 8.5 hectare of unbuilt slopes of the Kreuzberg from several owners, mostly north and west of the monument, including the westerly adjacent, lower hill called Rühlensberg.</p><br>
<p>After 1889 a milk bar (Milchwirtschaft) moved into the Schinkel-designed former guard&#39;s house below the hill top, offering the milk drinking cures then popularised by Friedrich Grub. The eastern and northeastern slopes were built up with villas.</p><br>
<p>On 28 June 1888 Berlins city parliament decided for City Garden Director Hermann Mächtigs design for a park on the acquired unbuilt slopes of Kreuzberg, including a waterfall between the monument on top of the Kreuzberg and the Großbeerenstraße. Mächtig and the sculptor Albert Manthe travelled through the Giant Mountains visiting natural waterfalls to get inspired. Having returned Mächtig himself assisted by a confidant foreman started modelling and constructions for the park. The Wolfsschlucht (lit. wolf&#39;s gully) was designed into another exploited sand pit east of the hill top. Some built-up parcels on the southern side of Kreuzbergstraße had been bought and the houses there were demolished in order to include their plots into the park. In 1894 the Victoria Park opened.</p><br>
<p>The DVL granted research subsidies so that in 1941 Zuse rented a workshop on the opposite side in Methfesselstraße 7 and stretching through the block to Belle-Alliance Straße 29 (renamed and renumbered as Mehringdamm 84 in 1947). On 12 May 1941 Zuse presented the world&#39;s first functioning computer, Z3 built in his workshop, to the public. While Z3 was destroyed with the workshop in an Allied Air raid in 1943 and the parental flat in the following year, the successor Z4 was constructed in a new premise in Oranienstraße 6 and evacuated from Berlin on 14 February 1945, only arriving in Göttingen two weeks later.</p><br>
<p>The Kreuzberg had been included in the Nazi plans for rebuilding Berlin into the Welthauptstadt Germania, but only preparations materialised. Ernst Sagebiel oriented his Tempelhof Airport building towards the national monument on the Kreuzberg so that the central halls front on the forecourt of the airport and one edge of the monuments octagonal groundplan are parallel. The then planned axis consisting of a promenade and series of waterfalls cascading down the Kreuzberg hill towards the Platz der Luftbrücke was never realised, the interjacent block of houses remained untouched.</p><br>
<p>In summer 1944 the Organisation Todt, also employing Soviet forced labourers else held captive at Blücherplatz, started driving five tunnels into the northern slope of the Kreuzberg from Kreuzbergstraße. The semi-completed tunnels were meant and used as air-raid shelters, while constructions continued until February 1945. In 1944 British bombing left behind a wake of devastation leading from one block north up the Großbeerenstraße, over the waterfall to the monument, damaging its socket structure, destroying villas on the northeastern Kreuzberg slope, and blocks of flats along Methfesselstraße, including Zuses parental flat. The abandoned Schinkel-designed guards house, though undestroyed, was demolished in the 1950s, its site is now used by a ball playing cage.</p><br>
<p>In August 1952 Kreuzbergs borough mayor Willy Kressmann (SPD) inaugurated another monument on the Kreuzberg performing the form of a cross, Latin though. It is the Memorial for the eastern German Homeland (Mahnmal für die ostdeutsche Heimat), an 8 m cross of pine wood with a crown of thorns of barbed wire, located on the upper edge of the Kreuzbergs sodded northwestern slope, and commemorating the deaths of 100,000s killed in atrocities, by forced labour or other maltreatment, and the fate of the surviving 12 million refugees and expellees from former eastern Germany and neighbouring foreign countries ruled after World War II by pro-Soviet governments.</p><br>
<p>The deformed villa of 1872 on Methfesselstraße 17–21, northerly neighbouring Lindenberg House, is called the yellow Villa (die gelbe Villa), after the tiles covering the building since its extensions in the 1950s and 1960s into an eight-storey private clinic (Klinik am Viktoriapark). Between 1927 and 1941 the villa was owned and inhabited by Wilhelm Lindemann, a then popular singer, musician and composer of operettas and drinking songs. After the clinic had closed in 1987 the building remained vacant for 14 years, before it was renovated and reopened in 2004. It is since a youth centre for education and creativity financed by a charitable foundation in Hamburg. The brick building of an abandoned public toilet on top of the hill was refurbished and in it opened as a little café (XBerg-Hütte) in 2011.</p><br>
<p>Lisca is a 948 m  hill in the eastern part of the Sava Hills in southeastern Slovenia, northwest of Sevnica, north of the Sava, and south of Gračnica Creek. The hill offers a superb view. It is the most frequently visited hiking destination in the Sava Hills.</p><br>
<p>The hill has two summits: Lisca and Little Lisca (Mala Lisca; 934 m). At Lisca there is a meteorological station, the only one in Slovenia with a meteorological radar, and a ski slope. At Mala Lisca, there are three paragliding take-off sites.</p><br>
<p>At 927 m, the Jurko Lodge (Jurkova koča) stands below the peak, built in 1972 at the site of the previous structures. Next to it stands the Tonček Lodge (Tončkov dom), built in 1952 after the old one was burned during World War II by the Partisans. It was named after Tonček Čebular, the president of the Lisca Sevnica Mountaineering Club, who led the rebuilding. Below the Tonček Lodge there is a chapel dedicated to the Mother of God, built in 1939 at the initiative of Blaž Jurko.</p><br>
<p>The main path leading to the top is the Jurko Trail, named after Blaž Jurko. It leads from the village of Breg (220 m) through the village of Razbor to the top of Lisca. An asphalt road leads to the Tonček Lodge from a pass (676 m) between the Sava and Gračnica valleys.</p><br>
<p>The Jurko Trail also leads past a church dedicated to St. Judoc (sveti Jošt; 788 m) on the western slope of Lisca. There, three paths leading to the top join. An auction of pork hocks and cured sausage has taken place at St. Judoc&#39;s Church every Shrove Sunday since 1997, reviving a tradition that had disappeared for a period.</p><br>
<p>The company Lisca, a major lingerie manufacturer, is named after the hill.</p><br>
<p>The M L Ranch was established by Henry Clay Lovell and his financial backer Anthony Mason in Wyoming&#39;s Big Horn Basin in the late 1870s to the south of the present location. The second and final location was established farther north as a cattle line camp in 1883 to be closer to markets in Billings, Montana. In 1884 it became the headquarters for a ranch that reached 25,000 acre in area. The bad winter of 1886–87 killed half the stock on the ranch, more than 10,000 head., but the M L fared better than most. Mason died in 1892. Lovell died in Oregon in 1903. Lovell, Wyoming was named in his memory. The Lovell family ran the ranch until 1909. In the early 1960s the ranch was purchased by the Bureau of Reclamation as part of the Bighorn Lake reservoir project. In 1966 the headquarters site was transferred to the National Park Service as part of Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area.</p><br>
<p>The M L Ranch was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 15, 1992.</p><br>
<p>The Randolph Tabernacle is a Victorian-styled meetinghouse for the Randolph Ward  of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints  and is located in Randolph, Rich County, Utah. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 10, 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>On July 5, 1898, after the creation of the Woodruff Stake, it was decided to build a large meetinghouse for the Randolph Ward that could accommodate people from small outlying communities. Given that the meetinghouse was to be built and used primarily by the Randolph Ward (one congregation) and not multiple congregations within the Woodruff Stake, it is technically not a tabernacle, but a meetinghouse, though its size and elaborate architectural style may be why it has been known colloquially as the Randolph Tabernacle. Members of the Randolph Ward provided almost all of the cost of the building, which by some estimates was around $24,000. The brick walls were complete by 1901 and the roof was finished in 1902. In November 1904, the building was in usable condition and the first meeting was held. The two-story tower was completed in 1909. The building was dedicated on July 26, 1914, by then-LDS Apostle George Albert Smith. The architect, John C. Gray, also served as the bishop of Randolph Ward from 1901-1921.</p><br>
<h2>Modifications</h2><br>
<p>Minor renovations occurred in 1936 and 1977. An extensive renovation took place between 1984-1985, which included a large rear addition for classrooms, a cultural hall, and offices. The meetinghouse remains in use by the Randolph Ward.</p><br>
<p>The Wellsville Tabernacle was built as a Gothic Revival-styled meetinghouse of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints  and is located in Wellsville, Cache County, Utah. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 26, 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>Ground was broken in 1902 by William H. Maughan, who had served as bishop in Wellsville, Utah for forty years. The cornerstones were laid by LDS Apostle Abraham O. Woodruff and Seymour B. Young in 1903. The tabernacle was built using stone quarried from nearby Sardine Canyon and red brick. The tabernacle was dedicated June 28, 1908 by Anthon H. Lund of the LDS Church&#39;s First Presidency. The Tabernacle seats approximately 800. The cost of building the tabernacle was $65,000. With the pulpit in the northwest corner and a diagonal aisle with semi-circular pews facing the pulpit, the tabernacle has a unique floor plan for LDS meetinghouses, which typically have centered pulpits.</p><br>
<h2>Modifications</h2><br>
<p>The main tower was destroyed by fire in 1959 and the replacement was much shorter. The original red bricks were painted white in the 1950s.</p><br>
<h2>Current use and ownership</h2><br>
<p>The tabernacle was sold to the city of Wellsville in 1981. The city was unable to adequately maintain the building and it was sold to the Wellsville Tabernacle Foundation, a group of concerned private citizens who have made the building available to rent for private and community events including weddings. Part of the tabernacle served as a museum of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers. Facing structural deficiencies in the roof, the tabernacle was closed in 2010 and the Wellsville Tabernacle Foundation is currently hoping to raise $150,000 in funds necessary for renovation in order to reopen.</p><br>
<p>The Ewing-Snell Ranch was established between 1896 and 1898 by Erastus Ewing in Carbon County, Montana, on Layout Creek between Bighorn Canyon and the Pryor Mountains in a region called Dryhead Country. Ewing took up ranching after failing as a gold miner.</p><br>
<p>Erastus Ewing was born in Tennessee about 1846, arriving in Montana in the 1880s to look for gold. He staked numerous claims, one of which controlled the water rights for Layout Creek. After giving up prospecting, he used the rights to establish his ranch, digging a ditch to his homestead from the creek.</p><br>
<p>Ewings place was designated a post office in 1898, operating until 1906 as Ewing, Montana before moving to the Caroline Lockhart Ranch. Erastus died in 1904. His son Lee sold the ranch to Clint Hough in 1911, who sold it to Philip Snell in 1918. The shop building operated as the Dryhead School in 1945-57. Snells descendants sold the ranch to Newell K. Sorenson in 1964. Sorenson sold 640 acre to the Bureau of Reclamation for the construction of Yellowtail Dam in 1968. The ranch is part of Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area.</p><br>
<p>The Ewing-Snell Ranch was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 12, 1977.</p><br>
<p>Damjili  – is a half-circular shaped cave site in Azerbaijan, where evidence of prehistoric human presence during the Paleolithic and Mesolithic was discovered. The site is situated in the South-Eastern part of the Avey Mountain of the Small Caucasus, that extends from Daş Salahlı village in the Gazakh rayon to the Khram River. The name Damjili is an allusion to "weeping water", that rinses through the natural cracks in the limestone cave walls  translates to drop).</p><br>
<p>Damjili cave is the biggest cave among Avey Mountain caves. It has an area of 360 km&sup2;. The front side of the cave has been destroyed. The height of the cave&#39;s rear side is 4 m. Various stone tools, arrowheads, flint knives, remains of hearth and fossilized bones of animals have been found out during excavations.</p><br>
<p>Traces of ochre were found in a grotto of the cave, lending credence to the idea, that the occupants had a desire to deal with symbolism and aesthetics. The sediment layers, in which the ochre was found are mixed with more tardy ones which suggests that the use ochre dates back to the Mousterian culture.</p><br>
<p>The Caroline Lockhart Ranch was established in 1926 by Caroline Lockhart, who purchased a 160 acre homestead near Davis Creek at the foot of the Pryor Mountains in Carbon County, Montana while in her fifties. Lockhart expanded the ranch, adding buildings, land and grazing rights until the ranch comprised about 7,000 acre. The region, known as Dryhead Country, is one of the most isolated places in Montana.</p><br>
<p>Caroline Cameron Lockhart was a writer in Philadelphia, who worked as a reporter in Philadelphia and Boston, specializing in investigative reporting. Born in Illinois in 1871, she had grown up on a ranch in Kansas. Lockhart moved to Cody, Wyoming in 1904, writing novels, screenplays and working for the Denver Post. She bought the Cody newspaper, the Park County Enterprise, renaming it the Cody Enterprise in 1921, and selling it in 1925. In 1926 she bought the ranch, living at the L/♥ in the summers and in Cody in the winter. She moved back to Cody in 1950 as her health declined, selling the ranch.</p><br>
<p>The Tippett family bought the ranch from Lockhart in 1955, primarily for the land rights. The structures were left to deteriorate. In 1980 the property was acquired by the National Park Service and incorporated into Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area. The structures have been restored by the Park Service as nearly unique examples of local ranching culture and vernacular construction.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The main ranch house was built by Lockhart using hired labor, adding to a cabin built by the previous owners. The rambling log and stone house with a sod roof was completed around 1938, eventually comprising twelve rooms. Other structures include a guest cabin, a bunkhouse -storehouse, a spring house, and stables and barns.</p><br>
<p>The Caroline Lockhart Ranch was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 3, 1989. The present property comprises 6 acre, the core of the ranch.</p><br>
<p>The Mackie Building is located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building was originally called the Chamber of Commerce Building or the Grain Exchange. It was built in 1879 as an investment property by USA Representative Alexander Mitchell. During the 1970s, the building underwent extensive restorations.</p><br>
<p>The Grain Exchange was located in a large three-story room in the building. The room was designed in a Simple Italian architectural style, with soaring ceilings, hand painted frescoes, gold leaf and over 10,000 sq. feet of space. The grain exchange is closely linked with the early commercial history of Milwaukee, when for a brief time, the city was the world’s largest primary wheat market for trading, exporting and inspecting grain. Milwaukee’s lake port was near vast acres of wheat in the state, so the Milwaukee grain exchange conveniently located there and invented and utilized the very first octagonal trading pit. The grain exchange operated from 1880 to 1935.</p><br>
<p>The Mackie Building is adjacent to the Mitchell Building, which was also built by Alexander Mitchell, also designed by E. Townsend Mix and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Hirsel is a Category A Listed stately home near Coldstream in the Scottish Borders. It has been a seat of the Earls of Home since 1611, and the principal seat following the destruction of Hume Castle during the mid-17th century. It was the home of the former British Prime Minister, Sir Alec Douglas-Home, the 14th Earl of Home.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>A large mellow Georgian house of grey stone, most of which dates from the early 18th century, with an earlier portion dating from the early 17th century. Victorian alterations and additions were carried out by William Burn in 1851. David Bryce, George Henderson, and James Campbell Walker are also known to have worked here. Most of the Victorian additions were demolished during the mid 20th century. The interior contains a fine stone staircase in the centre portion.</p><br>
<h2>Garden and park</h2><br>
<p>The house is set within an outstanding designated English garden style late 18th to 19th century designed landscape which spans the valley of Leet Water. The landscape comprises informal parkland, woodland, and a large artificial lake (Hirsel Lake), and a late 19th century rhododendron and azalea woodland garden, Dundock Wood. The walled garden dates from the mid 18th century. In addition to forming an attractive setting for the category-A listed house, the grounds contain nationally important archaeological remains, a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and two notable heritage trees.</p><br>
<h2>Visitor access</h2><br>
<p>The Homestead Craft Centre and Museum of Country Life, the Tea Room and Craft Workshops are all located within the grounds. The Homestead Walk and the Hirsel Walk are open to the public 365 days of the year.</p><br>
<p>Strang School District No. 36, or the Strang Public School, is a historic school located in Fillmore County, Nebraska, in the village of Strang. The school is one of the two sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places in the village of Strang. The school building is a small, two-story, brick public schoolhouse, which was built to replace the schoolhouse that was previously located on that site. The schoolhouse was built between 1929 and 1930, and replaced the previous schoolhouse, which burned down in 1928. The schoolhouse still retains all original building materials. The school served high school students from 1930 to 1951, and still functions as a school today, serving grades K–8. The NRHP listing also includes a flagpole located outside the schoolhouse, and five pieces of playground equipment.</p><br>
<h2>History and education</h2><br>
<p>In October 1928 a fire destroyed the small school that had previously been located in Strang. Classes were held in two local churches and the Belle Prairie Township Hall for the remainder of that year, while the townspeople held a series of meetings to discuss the construction of a new schoolhouse. Later in 1928, plans for the new schoolhouse were drawn up and approved, and construction on the new Strang Public School began in 1929. The majority of the people that worked on constructing the school were local townspeople. The first classes in the new school were held in February 1930. The schoolhouse was constructed in a "fireproof" fashion, as to prevent another accident. The new schoolhouse was constructed to hold students from first through twelfth grades, from Strang and the surrounding communities. Primary students attending classes were located on the second floor and secondary students classes were held on the first floor. Since construction, there have been no projects undertaken to refurbish or restore the original building, as to protect its historical importance. In 1951, due to a decline in enrollment, the school reduced to serving just students in grades K through 8, and has remained this way since. By the fall of 2004 (the last published figures available), that number had fallen to just five.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Strang Public School is a near perfect example of what is considered a typical twentieth-century "fireproof" schoolhouse in Nebraska, and is constructed somewhat symmetrically. The school was constructed in a simplified version of the Renaissance Revival style, consisting of two stories, with a flat roof.</p><br>
<h3>Exterior</h3><br>
<p>The building is constructed in a rectangular shape, symmetrical on the exterior, and measures 32 ft by 66 ft. The approximate height measurements are not provided by the Register. Large, six over six paned windows are located in the front and the back of the building on both floors. Similar windows are also located on the south side of the building, but only on the top floor. There are no windows located on the north side. The entire exterior of the building is constructed from brick. The roof is flat and constructed of roofing cement, with a parapet located around it, with a section of a chimney that sticks out of the south end of the roof. The most prominent feature of the exterior of the building is the large, central pavilion, with a stepped gable parapet wall.</p><br>
<h3>Interior</h3><br>
<p>The first level of the building contains two classrooms, both of which have a cloakroom, a set of three swivel doors, and a large slate chalkboard that covers one of the walls. The first story also contains two bathrooms, four small storage closets, and a central hall, as well as a large stairwell leading up to the second floor. The second story contains three classrooms, with the same features as those downstairs, along with an office and three small storage rooms. A metal fire escape door is located in the center of the west wall of the second story. The schoolhouse also has a partial basement, which contains a large storage room, a coal room, and a disused coal furnace.</p><br>
<h2>Geography and facilities</h2><br>
<p>The Strang Public School is positioned at the intersection of Main Street and Sharon Street, on the southern edge of Strang, originally planned as a convenient location for the teachers and students coming from surrounding communities. The campus consists of the main schoolhouse, five historic pieces of playground equipment, a flagpole located in front of the building, a basketball/tennis court located north of the school building, and a large playing field west of the schoolhouse. The entire property is contained inside a 300 by 300 foot square plot of land.</p><br>
<p>A flagpole is located outside the main entrance to the school building, and is included in the NRHP listing as a contributing feature. A set of gym bars, a tether ball pole, a swing set, a "slippery slide", and a merry-go-round are located on the south and west sides of the property, and are all listed as contributing features. A fenced tennis and basketball court is located on the north side of the property, and a large track and playing field are located on the west side of the property, but none of these features are included in the listing.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>Strang School District No. 36 was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 25, 1992. On its nomination, Strang School District No. 36 was cited as being significant under criteria C, with the statement: "as a multi-story, brick, "fireproof" school building, an example of a type, period, and method of construction representative of school buildings constructed in many communities in Nebraska, particularly in Fillmore County, during the first quarter of the twentieth century". The school&#39;s listed year of significance was 1930, the year it was constructed. The school is considered significant to the surrounding community by Fillmore County, due to its importance to education an historic qualities, being one of the oldest buildings in the area.</p><br>
<p>Humboldt Bay Woolen Mill manufactured woolen cloth from 1901 to after World War II. The mill was listed as a National Historic Monument but demolished by the City of Eureka in 1987.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>When the Humboldt Bay Woolen Mill was built in 1901, the company was capitalized to $100,000 by several local businessmen including timber mill owner, William Carson, sheep rancher Hugh Webster McClellan, and rancher Robert Porter who continued as Vice-President of the newly formed company. According to the 1902 Illustrated Map of Eureka, the other officers included J.W. Henderson, President and N. McMillan, Secretary.</p><br>
<p>The Mill manufactured woolen fabrics from 1901 until it closed after World War II. After sitting empty for many years, it was listed on the National Register on 25 June 1982, but it only survived five more years. After the city designated it a dangerous building in 1987, local preservationists and the Eureka Heritage Society tried to get funding to rehabilitate it, but it was torn down in the same year.</p><br>
<p>The Mill was described as an excellent example of Greek Revival architecture and one of the few industrial buildings historically not associated with timber or fishing. Some architectural features of the Mill were saved by historians before the demolition. The site is currently a chain pharmacy, a grocery store and parking. The destruction of this building rallied community activists to save other historically significant structures in Eureka.</p><br>
<p>Rodale Organic Gardening Experimental Farm, also known as the Working Tree Center, is a historic home and farm located at Lynn Township, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. The home is farmhouse dated to about 1830, and altered by J. I. Rodale  for his residence and work, 1940 to 1971. Other contributing buildings and structures pre-dating Rodale&#39;s purchase in 1940, are the Pennsylvania bank barn, implement shed, corn crib, and chicken coop. Added by Rodale are the farm office and greenhouse , turkey / goose coop, tennis court, cabana and pool, and pavilion and the clapboard and fieldstone bake house. He also added the five garden sites: the cultivated gardens, the stone gardens, the Sir Albert Howard test plots, and the aerobic and anaerobic compost heaps. The farm is important in the history of organic gardening and farming in the 20th century.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>Coplay Cement Company Kilns, also known as the Saylor Park Industrial Museum, is an open-air historic site located at Coplay, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. The nine kilns were built in 1892-1893, and used for the production of Portland cement. They are constructed of locally produced red brick, and are known as Schoefer vertical kilns. They were shut down in 1904. The Coplay Cement Company donated the kilns and surrounding land to Lehigh County in 1975, for a cement industry museum. It is operated as a partnership between the County of Lehigh, which owns and maintains the site, and the Lehigh County Historical Society, which provides educational services. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The Saylor Cement Museum honors David Saylor (1827-1884), the father of the American Portland cement industry, and the people who built this industry into one of the most important in the Lehigh Valley and the nation. Lehigh County was a natural spot for cement production. Cement is made from rocks containing lime, silica, and alumina; Lehigh County limestone “cement rock” contains all three ingredients. In 1866 David O. Saylor helped found Coplay Cement Company. In 1871, he received the first American patent for Portland cement, which is much stronger than the natural cement that had previously been produced in this country. Saylor’s Portland cement built bridges, docks, jetties, roads, aqueducts, subways, and skyscrapers. By 1900 the Lehigh Valley made 72% of Portland cement produced in this country.</p><br>
<p>The first kiln at the Coplay Cement Company was a dome kiln. Dome kilns were inefficient; they had to shut down often. In 1893 Coplay Cement built Mill B, containing the Schoefer kilns standing today. Originally enclosed in a large building, Schoefer kilns could run continuously. Soon, however, the even more efficient rotary kilns came into use. Mill B’s outdated Schoefer kilns shut down in 1904, and Coplay Cement later used Mill B’s buildings for storage.</p><br>
<p>Peña Bajenza  is a large rock formation situated just above the village of Islallana, part of the municipality of Nalda, in the Spanish province of La Rioja. The 400 metre high red coloured rocks sculpted by erosion are part of the Peñas de Viguera and one of the most well-known landmarks of the region.</p><br>
<p>The formation has several hiking and climbing trails and is home to colonies of griffon vultures and other wild birds such the Egyptian vulture in summer. Two big crosses stand at the mountain. The first one can be found just in the beginning of the route (475 meters above the sea level). The second one (which is the most famous one) stands at the summit of the highest rock (941 metres above sea level). Each year on May 3, it becomes the destination of a pilgrimage known as the Romería de la Cruz. According to local legend, the cross commemorates a monk who killed himself by jumping from the top of the rock formation.</p><br>
<h2>Routes</h2><br>
<p>Although there are more than ten routes to arrive to the mountain, the most used one is the one which starts in Islallana walking through the asphalted ground crossing the Iregua river. Once crossed the river, the route begins to be full of land on the floor and the slopes start. Continuing in this way, the first cross, which is situated on the feet of the mountain can be seen. There the route finishes, and it starts a path. That zone is all covered by pines and some water pipes that indicate the fastest way to go up. Going through that way in slopes with a 28% of ramp, the route to finish at the top of the mountain is going to be clearly indicated. Once in the top, this route starts to go back to return to Islallana. This route takes 2 hours and a half and 8,45 kilometers to be done.</p><br>
<p>Another very common route for pilgriners is the one which is like the first one, but instead of going back to Islallana, continues going through the South-West taking in all crosses the option of going to the left. On this route, the Hermitage of San Marcos is going to be found, and once there, passing through a valley and several hills, the route takes you directly to Castillo de Viguera mountain. The step is not very difficult, with an easy climb, so, if the rock is wet, is overcome with ease. The route finishes going to the North-East to arrive to Viguera village. Joinning Viguera and Islallana there is a road, which has to be taken to return to the beginning of this route. This route takes 5 hours long and 18,26 kilometers to be done.</p><br>
<h2>Views</h2><br>
<p>The views at the top of the mountain are with no doubth one of the most beautiful all around La Rioja. From there, several villages and the main city of the province can be seen. The views are definitely not suitable for people with dizziness. Most of the channel of the Iregua river can be seen, specifically throughout the route of the road which joins Soria and Logroño. Just below the almost vertical wall of the rocks, it is situated the village of Islallana (the place where we started for), 300 meters underneath the top.</p><br>
<p>In the North-West Moncalvillo and Peña Moya can be seen, in the South-West, the Castle of Viguera, which is the second summit in one of the most typical routes. Also Rodalillo, Arnedo and Peña Aldera are situated in the East, and Nalda, Albelda de Iregua and Logroño on the West.</p><br>
<h2>Celebrations</h2><br>
<p>Each year on May 3, it becomes the destination of a pilgrimage known as the Romería de la Cruz, and people use to go to the top of the rock formation, most of them are parents and their young children. It is traditional for people from the zone to go to the top at least once in their lives, or in their childhood (with parents) or even when they are older (with their friends).</p><br>
<p>In summer is when most of the people use to go there, it is very common for the families from the surroundings to spend a day with their children going up in this mountain. Many people say that, although it could be dangerous, it is better to go in those days when the weather is not very sunny, to avoid the risks of having an insolation.</p><br>
<p>Many groups of young people also usually try to go to the top just for having a good time with their friends. Normally, they climb very early in the morning, they spend there the midday having lunch and taking photos, and at the afternoon they start to go down to return to their villages.</p><br>
<p>Cedarvale, also known as Hillsboro Ranch, was a dude ranch and working ranch in Carbon County, southern Montana, United States. The ranch was established about 1903 by prospector Grosvener W. Barry on the South Fork Trail Creek. Barry used the ranch as a home for his family and as a base for his mining ventures, all of which failed. His most lucrative venture was the conversion of Cedarvale from a working ranch to a dude ranch, marketed through an arrangement with the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad. It was the first dude ranch in the area. Barry introduced powered boats to the Bighorn River to carry dudes to the ranch from the railhead at Kane, Wyoming. As a publicity stunt Barry, his stepson and a neighbor piloted the 16 ft motorized Edith from the Hillsboro landing down the Bighorn, Yellowstone, Missouri and Mississippi rivers, leaving on May 31, 1913 and arriving in New Orleans on August 1. One of Barrys boats, the Hillmont, is on display at Barrys Landing.</p><br>
<h2>Doc Barry</h2><br>
<p>Grosvener W. Barry started life in New York and moved west with his wife Edith and her son from a previous marriage, Claude St. John. Known as "Doc, " Barry promoted a number of mining schemes. His most ambitious effort raised $50,000 to ship a gold dredge to work a claim on the Bighorn River at the mouth of Trail Creek, which never recovered its costs. Barry died in Billings, Montana of a brain tumor on January 25, 1920. Edith and Claude St. John continued to manage the dude ranch after his death. The ranch eventually reverted to a working cattle ranch, continuing into the late 1950s</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The historic district comprises what amounts to a small town, including the 1-1/2 story log Hillsboro Post Office, the log Big Chicken House, the Small Chicken House, a milk house and a root cellar. Hulbert&#39;s Shop and the Dude Cabin are in two sections of the same small log structure. A barn, corral, and the Hulbert Cabin complete the ensemble. Nearly all of the buildings had sod roofs. The post office opened in 1915 and lasted until 1945. The main ranch house burned during the winter of 1947-48, and its replacement burned some years later.</p><br>
<p>Cedarvale was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 19, 1975. It is a preserved area within Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area. The Barry&#39;s landing area of the park continues the Barry name.</p><br>
<p>The Grandey Elementary School is a site on the National Register of Historic Places located in Terry, Montana. It was added to the Register in 1978.</p><br>
<p>The school was built in 1908 to entice "Professor" Charles William Grandey to stay as a teacher in Terry. It was paid for by a $20,000 bond which passed unanimously, and the former 24 x school was converted to a house for Mr. and Mrs. Grandey, who occupied it for 12 years.</p><br>
<p>It is a three-story brick structure with the first floor about four feet below grade, and is about 77.5 x in plan. It has light buff-colored load-bearing brick walls, with dark reddish brick accents in bands and window caps. The building includes a fire escape on the south side of the building, via a metal chute from the third floor&#39;s art room.</p><br>
<p>The school was still in use in 1977.</p><br>
<p>The Yellowstone River Bridge is a site on the National Register of Historic Places located in Fallon, Montana. It was added to the Register on January 4, 2010. The Yellowstone River Bridge near the community of Fallon is a 2-span riveted continuous steel Warren through truss. Built between 1943 and 1944, the bridge was one of only a very few major bridge projects undertaken by the Montana Highway Department during World War II.</p><br>
<p>The placard reads:</p><br>
<p>The Yellowstone River Bridge is the longest truss bridge built in Montana at 1,142 feet. It is also one of the few bridges built in Montana during World War II. During the 1930s, the Montana Highway Department welcomed an influx of New Deal money by embarking on ambitious road improvements, including building more than 1,000 bridges. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, however, bridge building screeched to a halt, except on roads designated as critical to national security. These included USA Route 10, which connected Seattle to Minneapolis. Thus, in 1943, when an ice jam destroyed the bridge at Fallon, forcing motorists and critical war materials to make a 55-mile detour, the Secretary of Defense ordered the highway department to build a replacement. Specifically designed for wide river crossings, the steel and concrete bridge is a continuous span Warren through truss structure. The trusses are arranged in a “W” configuration that identifies them as Warren trusses. The highway department used this style of bridge from 1933 to 1946. Despite authorization from the War Production Board, labor and steel shortages slowed construction, as did high water and inclement weather. The W. P. Roscoe Company of Billings hired men from the Crow Reservation to help pour the concrete piers and subcontracted with another company to erect the steel trusses. To spectators’ amazement, crews worked high in the air, sauntering across I beams seventy feet above ground “as nonchalantly as if traveling on a broad highway.” The bridge opened to much fanfare in late November 1944.</p><br>
<p>Uisge Ban Falls </p><br>
<p>is a waterfall near Baddeck, Nova Scotia, Canada.</p><br>
<h2>The name</h2><br>
<p>The name Uisge Ban comes from the Gaelic meaning “white water”, uisge bàn, probably conflated with the word eas meaning a waterfall.</p><br>
<p>The official name usage for the falls is confusing as most maps produced by the Government of the Province of Nova Scotia and by many tourist groups use either of the two spellings starting with a "U", sometimes using both spellings in the same document, yet the only official name that appears in either Government of Nova Scotia or Government of Canada, Canadian Geographical Names Data Base (CGNDB) is the "Easach Ban" spelling. The "Easach Ban" spelling is the only version used on Government of Canada topographical maps.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The falls is located in Uisge Ban Falls Provincial Park</p><br>
<p>near New Glen, Victoria County, 14.5 kilometres</p><br>
<p>(9 miles) north of Baddeck.</p><br>
<p>The 16 m (50 ft.) high waterfall is accessible by trail. The Falls Trail is approximately 3.0 kilometres (1.8 miles) in length (round trip), and requires about one hour to complete. The trail passes through a field then follows Falls Brook upstream through a mixed forest and then a climax hardwood forest composed largely of maple, birch, and beech. The deep stream valley narrows dramatically in the vicinity of Uisge Ban Waterfall. At the falls, the sheer walls of the gorge tower 150 metres (500 feet) on either side.</p><br>
<p>Another trail in the park, the River Trail, proceeds north from Falls Brook. It is about 3.0 kilometres (1.8 miles) in length (return) and requires about one hour to travel. Following along the banks of the North Branch Baddeck River, the trail winds through a climax sugar maple, yellow birch, and beech forest at the foot of the river valley’s steep slope.</p><br>
<p>The original trail was developed with assistance from the Nova Scotia Forest Technicians Association. Recent improvements were undertaken by Stora Enso and the Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources.</p><br>
<p>The Burgess Garage is a site on the National Register of Historic Places located in Lambert, Montana. It was added to the Register on December 30, 2004. The building is now used as a museum.</p><br>
<p>The placard reads:</p><br>
<p>The Burgess Garage was constructed circa 1913 and is the oldest building standing in Lambert. That year the Northwest Improvement Company, a subsidiary of the Northern Pacific Railroad, platted the new townsite. Business at the garage (then called Winkes Garage) was already booming by the time the first train pulled into Lambert in 1914. One of the first sources for motorized vehicles and machinery in Richland County, the garage is a testament to the role mechanization played in the homesteading boom. By 1915, local physician Dr. George Armour had established his practice in the front office while Winkes continued operating his garage in the rear. Winkes died of acute appendicitis in 1918, and his widow sold the garage to Dr. Armour. Armour hired two mechanics and continued to run both his medical practice and the garage from the building, which was renamed Armour’s Garage. Drought, agricultural depression, and depopulation caused many Lambert businesses to close after World War I, including Armour’s garage and medical practice in 1927. In 1931, Alvin Burgess purchased the building from Richland County for $62.00 and reopened the garage, which he operated until his death in 1966. Originally built of wood, the building was covered with stucco early in its history; the one-inch stucco may have protected the garage from a series of catastrophic fires that burned much of Lambert’s business district in 1923, 1925, and 1931. Now owned by the Lambert Historical Society, the building today looks much as it did in the 1920s.</p><br>
<p>The Vogt–Nunberg Farm is a site on the National Register of Historic Places located in Wibaux, Montana. It was added to the Register on April 10, 2008. The application papers state the farm "is an important example of an early twentieth century diversified farming operation in eastern Montana".</p><br>
<p>The placard reads:</p><br>
<p>Twenty-year-old John Vogt arrived in the Beaver Valley in 1910 at the height of the homesteading boom. Boosters promoted "good soil, good climate, good schools, good markets" and touted new dry-land farming techniques that promised high crop yields without irrigation. Not all would-be farmers took out homesteads. The Northern Pacific Railroad already owned 13.3 million acres in Montana, which it had acquired from the federal government to help finance construction of its transcontinental line. Eager for new customers, the railroad aggressively marketed its holdings, offering good terms to anyone interested in acquiring land. With his brother Jacob homesteading nearby, John Vogt purchased this farm from the railroad in 1911. He hired local builder Joe Novantey to construct a two-story residence as well as the farms centerpiece, a 73-foot-by-35-foot balloon-frame cattle barn. Balloon framing, which used milled lumber instead of timber, was standard practice on the Great Plains. A chicken coop, feed house, and hog shed, also built during Vogts tenure, reflect his diversified operation. John married Charlotte Bott in 1917, and together the couple weathered drought and low commodity prices before selling the farm to Alfred and Victoria Nunberg in 1929. The Nunbergs survived the Great Depression by raising pigs, chickens, sheep, beef and dairy cattle, wheat, barley, oats, and hay. They also hosted community dances in their barn&#39;s large hay loft to supplement their income. Despite hard times, they raised nine children, improved the farm, and enlarged their holdings. Son Fred took over the operation in 1958, actively farming until 1995.</p><br>
<p>The Pierre Wibaux House is a site on the National Register of Historic Places located in Wibaux, Montana, United States. It was added to the Register on September 10, 1971.</p><br>
<p>A placard reads:</p><br>
<p>Pierre Wibaux, scion of a distinguished French textile family, arrived here at the settlement of Mingusville in 1883, establishing a cattle ranch about 12 miles north. His herds fared well during the devastating “Hard Winter of 1886-1887,” after which he borrowed family money to buy out less fortunate ranchers. By the mid-1890s, his ranch was one of the largest cattle operations in the nation, running about 65,000 head of cattle and 300 of horses. He sold from 3,000 to 9,000 cattle each year. Wibaux and others persuaded the Northern Pacific Railroad to build stockyards here in 1883, and to enlarge them in 1894. Wibaux campaigned to have Mingusville platted and renamed for him, both of which occurred in 1894. Two years previously, he and Henry Boice of the Berry-Boice Cattle Company had built this office/residence. Wibaux soon took it over completely, and used it during the week to oversee his business interests. The building faced north until W. A. Orgain, a local merchant, purchased the property in 1903 and moved the building to the rear and facing west. Originally it was surrounded by a lush park of grass and arbored vines tended by a French gardener, the water for irrigation and two artificial ponds supplied by an elevated tank filled by a windmill.</p><br>
<p>Monte Tagliaferro is a mountain of the Pennine Alps. It is one of the most popular hiking destination of Valsesia.</p><br>

<p>The Wibaux Commercial Historic District is a site on the National Register of Historic Places located in Wibaux, Montana. It was added to the Register on December 28, 1989. It then included 12 contributing buildings.</p><br>
<h2>Chappell Block (109 Wibaux Street South)</h2><br>
<p>Prominent resident Stephen B. Chappell was the main financial contributor and owner of this magnificent edifice constructed in 1911. The building combines two structures that are unified by a single façade treatment. The Chappell Hotel, First State Bank, and a grocery store were the original occupants. Meticulous craftsmanship, colorful brickwork, and lavish architectural ornamentation above the two main entries result in a beautifully sophisticated example of early-twentieth-century architecture in a small western town.</p><br>
<h2>Clark Hardware Company (110 South Wibaux Street)</h2><br>
<p>Harold G. Clark and Orlando Burgess, owners of the Clark Hardware Company, constructed this one-story brick and stucco commercial building in 1916. Representative of the period of Wibaux’s major economic development, it originally housed the hardware store, a funeral parlor, jewelry store, and tailor. Six decorative relief panels ornament the upper portion of the structure. Multicolored brick in a chevron and diamond pattern adorn the space above the center door.</p><br>
<h2>Kinney Block / First National Bank Building (125 South Wibaux Street)</h2><br>
<p>In 1910, J. C. Kinney and other local capitalists created the Wibaux Improvement Company to build this handsome two-story business block. Contractor Charles Charmichael of Miles City constructed the “large and commodious building … faced with a high grade red pressed brick and trimmed with red sandstone” for $33,000. According to the Wibaux Pioneer, the building was “strictly modern, hot water heated and hot and cold water in every suite.” A year later, the Improvement Company installed an electric plant with a six-hundred-light capacity in the basement. In addition to a generator imported from St. Paul, Minnesota, the plant also boasted a “large storage battery,” which supplied “commercial lights early in the mornings, dark afternoons,” and at other times the main plant did not operate. The building’s early tenants included a clothing store, drug store, post office, barbershop, and realty and loan company. Kinney was president of First National Bank, and the bank had offices on the second floor. In the 1950s, John Dobrowski converted the building into the Palace Hotel and Cafe, which it remains today.</p><br>
<h2>Smith Saloon</h2><br>
<p>Constructed during Wibaux’s transition period from a cattle town into an agricultural center, this Queen Anne commercial style building originally housed the Smith Saloon. Partners William H. Smith, John R. Cornell, and W. H. North built the saloon between 1904 and 1906 and later sold the business to W. H. Rucker, who operated it until 1917 when he sold the property to the State Bank of Yates. Renamed the Wibaux County Bank, it operated out of here until its failure. In 1923, Wibaux County purchased the building for use as the county courthouse and jail. Since 1952, the City Hall and the public library have occupied the space. The Smith Saloon is an excellent example of early-twentieth-century commercial architecture, with front parapet and battlements, corner pilasters, a tiered belt course with modillions, recessed doorway, and a concrete hood with ornamental concrete support brackets. A primary structure in the historic district, the building remains as the best representative of early Wibaux County government.</p><br>
<h2>Woodburn Building</h2><br>
<p>Brothers Burl and William Woodburn collaborated to construct this substantial commercial building in 1917. The Masonic Temple was located on the upper floor and the Woodburn Brothers Grocery occupied the ground space until the building changed hands in 1921. Its striking polychrome brick, gently sloping gable parapets, and terra cotta tile-framed windows and doors add unique contrast to the plain rectangular plan. Numerous T- and diamond-shaped terra cotta medallions ornament the upper level.</p><br>
<p>Conor Pass or Connor Pass is one of the highest Irish mountain passes served by an asphalted road.</p><br>
<p>It is located on the R560 road in County Kerry, Ireland.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The 456 m high pass connects Dingle, on the south-western end of the Dingle Peninsula, with Brandon Bay and Castlegregory in the north-east.</p><br>
<h2>Access to the pass</h2><br>
<p>A twisty one-lane asphalted road leads to the pass. The drive, inadvisable in bad weather, is considered one of the most beautiful of Ireland. The scenic road leading to the pass weaves its way around the sharp cliff faces and past high corrie lakes. Vehicles over two tonnes in weight are prohibited from using the road in order to avoid difficulties in passing.</p><br>
<p>Bicycle ascent to the pass is one of the most famous and difficult climbs in Ireland.</p><br>
<p>The Milwaukee Road Historic District is a historic district encompassing the Milwaukee Road railway depot and facilities in Harlowton, Montana. The depot was built in 1908, and rail service to Harlowton began the same year. In 1916, the facilities at Harlowton gained international renown when the Milwaukee Road made the depot the eastern endpoint of an electrified section of rail which extended to Avery, Idaho. The electrified section was the longest stretch of electric railroad in the United States; Thomas Edison described the railroad as an "unmatched technical marvel". Harlowton was also an important division point for the railroad, and its facilities include the railroads standardized Class A passenger station and a rare example of an intact roundhouse. In addition to its importance to the railroad, the Harlowton rail facilities were also important to the local economy, as the railroad was the citys largest employer.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 8, 1988.</p><br>
<p>The Big Horn River Bridge is a site on the National Register of Historic Places located in Custer, Montana. It was added to the Register on January 4, 2010. The bridge is a riveted Pennsylvania through truss structure that was constructed over a two-year period between 1931 and 1933. It is 624 feet in length and 21 feet wide.</p><br>
<p>The bridge is located in a floodplain near the mouth of the river, which has historically been prone to flooding. Flooding has been reduced since the building upstream of Yellowtail Dam, completed in 1967, but high waters have occurred since, including notably 1978 and 2011. The classic Western novel The Virginian, published by Owen Wister in 1902, mentions a washout of the Northern Pacific railroad bridge over the Big Horn River near here:</p><br>
<p>The Sanders Gymnasium and Community Hall, located in Sanders, Montana, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. With.</p><br>
<p>A placard at the site reads:</p><br>
<p>A sense of community and a place to gather were essential in homesteading settlements like Sanders. In 1910, the area’s residents rallied together to build a club house on this site. Each donated $15 or its equivalent in labor, and the building, though crudely assembled, served for nearly thirty years. By the late 1930s, the club house was in disrepair. The Sanders School District wanted a facility that could double as a gymnasium serving Sanders Elementary School next door. A bond election secured funds and the old building was cleared away. Acclaimed regional architects J. G. Link & Company drew the plans while Billings contractor Steve Mercer won the bid at $3,500. The rustic exterior of rugged square-notched logs is a surprising contrast to the interior’s lofty ceiling of arched fir and polished hardwood floor. A basketball court, raised stage, built-in seating and state-of-the-art lighting reflected modern technologies despite a lack of indoor plumbing. A community dance christened the new hall and gymnasium on June 29, 1940. Sanders’ population began to dwindle and the school closed in 1948. It was later moved to Hysham, but the front gate and two-hole privy remain part of the historic landscape. The hall continued to host dances, reunions, receptions, school plays, and rousing games. Local residents, including descendants of area homesteaders, have carefully refurbished this well-loved place. Its unassuming presence is a shining example of grand things that can be found in unexpected places.</p><br>
<p>The building is significant "as a representative work" by architect John Gustavus Link. Its NRHP nomination notes thatUnlike many other more stylish and substantial buildings, Link&#39;s design for the Sanders gym employs functional rustic log construction, in a direct and utilitarian manner. The rugged log exterior does not belie the more finished interior gymnasium, its arched fir pressboard ceiling formed to fit under the gable roof. From the exterior, the building fits with the body of log architecture that was common to frontier settlements, with its square notched logs, plain rectangular massing, basic gable rooflines, shingled gable ends, and lack of adornment. By contrast, the carefully designed ulterior, with its formed wood ceiling arch, highly polished hardwood floor, built-in seating, raised stage and electrical lighting reflects the modern design ideals and technologies of the early 20th century.</p><br>
<p>The Bethany Lutheran Church is a historic wood frame church building located in Oilmont, Montana. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 14, 1993.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>After the Great Northern Railway built a line through the area, Scandinavian immigrants began to settle in Toole County. The immigrants brought their religion with them, and starting in 1885 the Lutheran Church developed a presence in the county. The influx of immigrants reached its peak in the 1910s; it was in this decade, in 1911, that Norwegian settlers formed the congregation which became Bethany Lutheran Church. The congregation initially met in members houses and the local school, but in 1916 it acquired land to build a church on. Economic difficulties stalled construction plans until 1923, when the congregations Ladies Aid group bought a church building to place on the site. The church building was moved to the churchs land the next year, and final construction was completed in 1925. The church remained active until 1960, when its congregation merged with St. Lukes Parish in Shelby.</p><br>
<p>Kanjur  or Kanchiyur  is a hamlet in Gingee  taluk in Villuppuram  district in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. The major occupation of the people living at this place is agriculture. In 2011 it had a population of 400.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Kanchiyur is located 37 km northwest of Villupuram, 20 km southeast of Thiruvannaamalai and 23 km southwest of Gingee. Other rock art sites of Tamil Nadu, Kilvalai and Settavarai are located at 19 km and 3 km respectively from Kanchiyur.</p><br>
<h2>Transportation</h2><br>
<p>Town buses depart from Thiruvannaamalai bus stand (bus no: 23) go to Neelandhaangal. From Neelandhaangal, Kanchiyur hillock is half a kilometre. Also, from Avur, every two hours mini buses are available to reach Neelandhaangal.</p><br>
<h2>About the village</h2><br>
<p>Kanchiyur has 3000 years of heritage. The historical importance of the village is demonstrated by the presence of a hillock with rock paintings from the 10th century BCE and Jain cave and stone beds from the 10th century CE. Some Tamil Jains are still living in Madhampoondi, a village near to Kanchiyur hillock.</p><br>
<h2>Jain cave and stone beds</h2><br>
<p>Kanchiyur hillock is about 400 feet in height. In the top of the hill, there is a cave which contains 10 stone beds on the floor. A stone seat also located near to the beds. All the stone beds have carved pillows. Among the 10 stone beds, pillows of four stone beds are carved semicircular (see the picture gallery) similar to that of found in Andimalai hillock of Cholapandiyapuram. Near the hill, broken pieces of pots belonging to 1st or 2nd centuries CE were found in large numbers.</p><br>
<h2>Rock paintings</h2><br>
<p>Globally, the study of rock art and their interpretations gained momentum in the field of archaeology. Archeologists not only denoted the artistic skill of the people who had painted them, also their beliefs and their daily activities. The paintings on the rock shelters are mostly depicting the hunting scenes and human activities.</p><br>
<p>The rock paintings found here contains mainly symbols, painted in white ochre. Hence the pre-historic people might have used calcium to paint these symbols. These symbols painted here are similar to that of found in Indus Valley Civilization.</p><br>

<p>Bogert Covered Bridge is a historic wooden covered bridge located at Allentown, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. It is a 145 ft, Burr Truss bridge, constructed in 1841. It has vertical plank siding and a gable roof. It was restored by the Allentown Parks Department.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Bogert&#39;s Bridge was built in 1841-42. It takes its name from the Bogert family. Peter Bogert purchased the land on which the bridge is located in 1744 as part of his farm. Settlers are said to have put stones in the Little Lehigh at that place and used it as a crossing. In the 1760s, a crude log bridge, later replaced by a wooden plank bridge, was built on the site.</p><br>
<p>When American Indians complained that this bridge blocked their canoes, Bogert was called on to settle the dispute. The American Indians believed he treated them fairly, afterward calling Bogert "the Peacemaker."</p><br>
<p>Bogerts Bridge is a Burr truss, named after a design created by Theodore Burr of Connecticut in the early 19th century. Its most distinctive feature is two long arch trusses resting on abutments at either end. It was built by local men. John Waltman of Allentown worked on the bridge as a carpenters apprentice at the age 16.</p><br>
<p>The Pennsylvania Department of Highways took responsibility for the bridge from Lehigh County in 1945 because it carried S. 24th Street, which linked state routes Hamilton Street (Route 222) and Lehigh Street (Pennsylvania Route 29).</p><br>
<p>The bridge served its role well for many years into the late 1950s. But at 3:15 a.m. on 19 February 1956, a speeding truck pulling a trailer smashed into the bridge, splintering seven of the bridges 12-by-12-inch crossbeams. Its roof sagged in the middle. Initially Lehigh county wanted to tear down the bridge, believing it had become a traffic hazard. However, that didnt stop more damage from being done to the bridge. On 30 May 30, 1957, a second accident involving a truck carrying an earthmover crashed into the bridge, smashing the roof and causing extensive damage.</p><br>
<p>Although many thought Bogerts Bridge was doomed; however, a letter-writing campaign in 1957 by the Save the Bogerts Bridge Committee obtained state approval to move S. 24th Street to a new bridge adjacent a few hundred feet from the structure. The covered bridge was reconstructed by the Commonwealth and given to Allentown in 1964.</p><br>
<p>Today, Bogert&#39;s is the oldest covered bridge in Lehigh County and among the oldest in the country. It is open to pedestrian and bicycle traffic only. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The First Street Historic District, also known as the Main Street Historic District, is a commercial historic district in Menominee, Michigan containing over 40 structures spread over a 29 acre area. The district is roughly bounded by Fourth Avenue, the north side of Tenth Avenue, Second Street, and the Green Bay Shoreline; the boundaries are approximately equivalent to what is locally known as the Historic Waterfront Downtown. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the mid 19th century, Menominee&#39;s location on the shore of Lake Michigan and within a heavily forested district facilitated the growth of both shipping and lumber industries in the area. Starting in the 1850s, prosperous local citizens built commercial blocks along First Street, employing local architects and using materials plentiful in the region. By the early 1900s, the growth of the mining industry brought a new wave of industrialists, who employed architects from Chicago to design elaborate public buildings in the area.</p><br>
<p>The First Street Historic District is significant as a well-maintained example of a commercial district as it appeared in the late 19th century.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The First Street Historic District contains over 40 commercial buildings and civic structures, as well as several private houses, spread over a 29 acre area. Most of these buildings date to Menominee&#39;s prosperous era which began around 1890. Many of the commercial blocks are of a vernacular Midwestern design, constructed of local red sandstone. Some are Romanesque Revival structures of locally made bricks, and several have elaborate classical or Beaux-Arts facades. Many of the buildings are in substantially original condition, or have only minor alterations.</p><br>
<p>Dorsch&#39;s White Cross Bakery, also known as the Wonder Bread Factory, is a complex of historic structures located in the Shaw neighborhood of Washington, D.C. It was entered in the D.C. Inventory of Historic Sites in 2011 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Peter Michael Dorsch (1878-1959), who was a Washington, DC native, established the business in 1904 on Seventh Street and moved to the present location in 1913. The buildings that front S Street, NW were built in 1915 and 1922. They were designed by different architects, but they are composed of similar materials, treatment and details. They features elements of the American Craftsman style. White terra cotta tile crosses in the center pediments identify the building with White Cross Bakery. The building has been redeveloped into a mix of office and retail uses.</p><br>
<p>Margaret Murray Washington School, also known as the M.M. Washington Career High School, is an historic structure located in the Truxton Circle neighborhood of Washington, D.C. It was entered in the D.C. Inventory of Historic Sites and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The main block of the school was opened in 1912 as the O Street Vocational School. It was designed by District of Columbia Municipal Architect Snowden Ashford. The school was renamed for Margaret Murray Washington, the wife of Booker T. Washington, in 1926. She had been a leader of several black feminist organizations and the anti-lynching movement. Additions designed by Albert Harris and Albert Cassell were added in 1928 and 1938 respectively. A gymnasium was added in 1971.</p><br>
<p>The curriculum provided “manual training for boys and domestic science and art for girls.” Nursing was added during World War II and it was accredited afterwards. The school offered instruction to students at area elementary schools as well as high-school-age students who made up its student body.</p><br>
<p>The building was one of many schools closed in 2008 as part of budget cutting measure. In 2012, work began to turn the school into a senior housing which opened in 2013 as the 82 apartment House of Lebanon.</p><br>
<p>The Loop or Darss Canal  was an inlet of the sea between the lagoon known as the Saaler Bodden and the Baltic Sea near Ahrenshoop on the German coast. It formed the northern boundary of the region of Fischland. Originally the Loop was the northern estuarine branch of the River Recknitz.</p><br>
<p>The old inlet ran between the present villages of Ahrenshoop and Althagen. The Loop was roughly two metres deep and had posts for mooring boats and barges. Its navigability was frequently curtailed by storms and silting up. Today only a small ditch remains on the former Mecklenburg-Pomeranian border, which runs alongside a main road, the so-called Grenzweg ("border way").</p><br>
<p>The cartographer and court astronomer at the Mecklenburg court, Tilemann Stella, described the Loop thus: "Between the village of Oldenhagen and the Arnshope, the waters of the Ribnitz river and lake break through into the salty sea. Beyond the beach is a large pile of rock and bricks at the place by the beach; that was the customs post, located 3 or 4 ruthen into the salty sea. Beyond that, forty or fifty posts stood in the salt sea, at the end of which was a large pile of rocks on which the fort stood."</p><br>
<p>At the end of the 14th century the Pomeranian duke, Barnim VI, wanted to turn Ahrenshoop into a larger trading town in order to benefit from the growth in trade. The then Arneshop was an important trading post with up to 500 inhabitants. To that end, he had the place protected by ditches, border fortifications, customs posts and a fortified redoubt. Its further development failed, however, due to the vulnerability of the Loop to the vagaries of the weather.</p><br>
<p>The Victual Brothers also used the Loop and the Permin near Wustrow to enter the waters of the bodden, which they used as a refuge between their piratic raids. The Hanseatic city of Rostock, which envisaged its trading privileges being affected by a harbour on the Darß, finally had Ahrenshoop destroyed, after two failed attempts, in 1395 and the Darß Canal filled in.</p><br>
<p>Akraifnio , before 1933 known as Karditsa ,) is a village in Boeotia, Greece.</p><br>
<p>It was the seat of the former municipality Akraifnia, which is a municipal unit of the municipality Orchomenos since the 2011 local government reform. Population 1,058 (2011).</p><br>
<p>Akraifnio is situated on the western edge of the Ptoo mountains, close to where the river Cephissus flows into Lake Yliki. It is 17 km northwest of Thebes. The A1 motorway (Athens-Thessaloniki) passes southwest of the village.</p><br>
<h2>Population</h2><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Akraifnio was named after the ancient city Acraephia (Ἀκραιφία). Acraephia or Acraephnium (Ἀκραίφνιον) was an ancient Greek city (polis) on the eastern shore of Lake Copais (drained in the late 19th century) and at the foot of the Ptoo mountains. It was believed to have been founded by the mythical Acraepheus. The ruins are a short distance south from the modern village. When Alexander razed Thebes those who were too weak or old to move to Attica settled at Acraephia. Near the town there was a sanctuary to Acraephian or Ptoan Apollo with an oracle.</p><br>
<p>In the late Middle Ages, the site was occupied by the village of Karditsa. In the 13th–15th centuries, it was part of the Frankish Duchy of Athens, and in the first decades of the 14th century, it was the seat of the knight Antoine le Flamenc, reputed to be "the wisest man in the duchy", and his son, Jean. Antoine is buried in the Church of Saint George, which he built, and which carries an inscription commemorating his donation.</p><br>
<p>The village Karditsa was renamed Akraifnio in 1933 after the ancient city. From 1912 until 1997, when it became part of the largr municipality Akraifnia, Akraifnio was an independent community.</p><br>

<p>The Peteetneet Museum and Cultural Arts Center, located in Payson, Utah, is named after Chief Peteetneet, the indigenous clan leader of a Tumpanawach  Ute band. It serves multiple civic purposes. The building houses a Daughters of the Utah Pioneers museum of pioneer artifacts, the Payson Historical Society, and the Peteetneet Arts Council as well as many community art and dance classes and events. The large hill behind the school is a popular place for watersliding in the summer and sledding in the winter.</p><br>
<h2>Historic building</h2><br>
<p>Prior to serving as a museum and cultural arts center, the Peteetneet School or Peteetneet Academy was erected in 1901. The architectural design combines both Victorian and Romanesque Revival architecture and was done by Richard C. Watkins, who designed many other schools through Utah and Sanpete counties. The Victorian belfry makes this school more flamboyant than other prominent schools designed by Watkins such as the Maeser School or Old Spring City School. The building served as an academy and then elementary school until 1989 when Payson City planned to demolish the building. A group of concerned citizens formed People Preserving Peteetneet and were instrumental in saving and restoring the school. Since the building is located on the Nebo Loop Scenic Byway, the Utah Department of Transportation awarded over $100,000 to assist in the restoration. The building was transformed into a museum and civic center. A glass elevator was added in 2008. The building has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since May 30, 1990.</p><br>
<h2>Peteetneet</h2><br>
<p>Chief Peteetneet, or more precicely Pah-tit-nit (pronounced Paw-teet-neet), is the name of a clan leader in the Tumpanawach (Timpanogos) band of Utes, whose daughter Pomona (Pamamaci="Water-woman") married the mountain man, Miles Goodyear. Peteetneet is the aglicized corruption of Pah-tit-nit in the Tumpanawach dialect of the Southern Paiute language, which means "Our Water Place".</p><br>
<p>The local indigenous clan leader, Ute Chief Peteetneet, lived near Peteetneet Creek, which was named for him (or perhaps for which he was named), in what is now known as Payson, Utah. Chief Peteetneet was not hostile to Mormon settlers who arrived in the area of his village in late autumn and early winter of 1850.</p><br>
<p>In February 1850, his village was attacked by the Mormon militia, as part of the Battle at Fort Utah. While he was not there, he did confront the soldiers at Fort Utah after finding the bodies of several decapitated Indians.</p><br>
<p>When those first families arrived on Peteeneet Creek in late October, 1850, they found that Chief Peteetneet was friendly along with his band of about 200 Tumpanawach Utes, who already lived there in semi-permanent, grass-thatched, wattle-and-daub houses. The Mormon pioneers settled on an uninhabited section of the creek about a mile southeast of Peteetneet&#39;s village. It is unlikely that the settlement on Peteetneet Creek would have survived the winter without the benevolence of Chief Peteetneet and his band.</p><br>
<p>Chief Peteetneet also enjoyed the support of Mormon leaders in the Indian slave trade. Apostle George A. Smith gave him talking papers that certified "it is my desire that they should be treated as friends, and as they wish to Trade horses, Buckskins and Piede children, we hope them success and prosperity and good bargains."</p><br>
<p>Chief Peteetneet died on December 23, 1861, under somewhat mysterious circumstances in Cedar Valley, Utah, near recently abandoned Fort Crittenden (Camp Floyd). He was buried on the mountainside in Cedar Valley by members of his band. His wife, who was murdered on his express deathbed orders by an axe-wielding woman in his band, was buried in the valley below his grave to accompany him into the afterlife. He was succeeded at his death in 1862 by a near kinsman named Ponnewats, a corruption of Pa-ni-wa-tsi, a name meaning "Little Master of Our Water".</p><br>
<p>A monument of Chief Peteetneet stands at the front of the Peteetneet Museum and Cultural Arts Center.</p><br>
<p>Rasac  Rasac is a long, relatively squat mountain on the western edge of the Huayhuash range, across the glacier from the tallest peak in the range, Yerupajá. Although it is a 6,000 metre mountain, Rasac´s broad profile is dwarfed by Yerupajá.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>As the rest of the Huayhuash, Rasac is made mainly of limestone, interbedded with sandstone and shale. These sediments were originally laid down on the ocean floor and have been pushed up and folded due to the convergence started about 90 million years ago when the Nazca oceanic plate started to slide under the South American continental plate. The limestone has a coarse, sharp texture and is light to dark grey in colour (although sometimes a slight bluish tint can occur). Marine fossils (bivalves and ammonites) may be found within some of the limestone beds. Some volcanic activity has also influenced the geology of the Huayhuash.</p><br>
<h2>Climbing</h2><br>
<p>Rasac is considered to be the easiest 6,000&ndash;metre peak in the Huayhuash range, but it is still a challenging climb. The long, snowy West Face is divided by a series of buttresses, most of which have routes in the D range according to the International French Adjectival System. The Right Buttress is still unclimbed. The East Face is almost all rock, most of which seems in the condition not to be climbed. There is allegedly a snow route of moderate difficulty (considered to be the normal route and rated around AD) up a gulley on this face that looked in the summer of 2007 to be totally out of condition.</p><br>
<p>Even if Rasac is overall the most climbed peak of the Huayhuash range, it remains a mountain climbed very rarely (less than a climb per year). The mountain lies in a remote and wild setting. Expeditions willing to climb in this area have to be fully self-sufficient in case of an accident or emergency.</p><br>
<p>A traverse of the mountain begins with five pitches of rock up the east face to gain the south ridge, a long airy corniced snow and ice ridge to the summit followed by descending the north ridge and down NE face of mixed snow, rock and ice.

<p>Haines Mill, also known as Haines Mill Museum, is a historic grist mill located at South Whitehall Township, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. It was built about 1840, and is a four-story, stone building with a slate covered gambrel roof. It is three bay by three bay, 42 feet by 46 feet, 9 inches. The interior was rebuilt after a disastrous fire in 1908. A three-story brick addition was built in 1930, with a lean-to roof. Atop the main roof is a cupola. It remained in full operation until 1957. Today, Haines Mill is operated as a partnership between the County of Lehigh, which owns and maintains the site, and the Lehigh County Historical Society, which provides public tours.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.</p><br>
<p>Dorneyville Crossroad Settlement is a complex of three historic buildings located at the crossroads community of Dorneyville in South Whitehall Township, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. They are the King George Inn, John Dorney House, and William Dorney House. The King George Inn is a large stone building built in four sections. The oldest dates to about 1755, with additions made about 1790, 1796, and 1930. It was operated as an inn and tavern. The John Dorney House and William Dorney House are two stone dwellings built about 1832 and 1835, respectively. They are representative of the Georgian style.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<p>The King George Inn, which had operated as a tavern or restaurant since 1756 closed unexpectedly in August 2012. It is scheduled for demolition.</p><br>
