<p>The Lafayette Lamb House is an historic building located in Clinton, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Clinton architect W.W. Sanborn originally designed the house in the Second Empire style. J. C. Clausen was superintendent of construction when it was built in 1877. The exterior was composed of red brick and it featured a mansard roof and turreted tower. It was built for lumber baron Lafayette Lamb.</p><br>
<p>The house was extensively renovated in 1906. The brick veneer was removed and replaced with gray cement brick of the Iowa Granite Brick company. A flat roof was installed and the tower was removed. As a result, the home now reflected the Georgian Revival style. In 1920 it was donated to the YWCA who continues to use the building. Other additions were built onto the building in subsequent years.</p><br>

<p>Crooked River is a waterway in Franklin County, Florida that connects the tidal estuary of the Ochlockonee River to a junction with the tidal Carrabelle River and the New River above the town of Carrabelle, Florida. The Crooked River channel is 41 km long, while its ends are 24 km apart.</p><br>
<p>The Crooked river is sometimes described as a principal tributary of the Ochlockonee River, while G.H. Dury described the Crooked River as a tidal channel connecting the Carrabelle River with the Ochlockonee River, separating St. James Island from the mainland.</p><br>
<h2>Conservation</h2><br>
<p>Florida approved the purchase of 13,000 acres of marshland along the Crooked River from St. Joe Company in 2003 for $14.5 million. The preserve was meant to help protect Florida black bear territory. The purchased land was added to Tate’s Hell State Forest.</p><br>
<p>The Castle Terrace Historic District is located in Clinton, Iowa, United States. The area was platted in 1892 and developed about 1926 by the Curtis Service Bureau of the Curtis Company. They were woodwork manufacturers in Clinton and used the development as a promotional project to showcase the company&#39;s products for developers, architects, and builders. It was situated on eleven lots and featured trees, curving streets, and spacious lawns, which gave the area a village atmosphere. The utility lines were placed underground. E. E. Green was the Architect-in-Charge. The architectural style was highly eclectic with Tudor Revival is the primary style utilized in the district. The historic district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>Delmar Calaboose is a historic one-room jail located in Delmar, Iowa, United States. The word calaboose is a corruption of the Spanish word calabozo, which means dungeon. The building was built for and used as a jail in frontier Iowa. The walls and roof of the one-story structure are composed of limestone and mortar. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>When the Davenport, St. Paul and Midland railroad was being built the town of Delmar had yet to be incorporated, but it had a prosperous liquor trade serving the construction workers. It had become such a problem by the time the town incorporated in 1876 that the town council increased the licensing fees on liquor dealers and saloon keepers to regulate the trade. The plan did not work as those in the liquor trade refused to buy the licenses. Other citizens in Delmar demanded the construction of a town jail. A committee was established in March 1877 to study the possibility, and they recommended that the old school building be used for a jail. It is not known if the plan was ever carried out, but by early 1878 there was a strong desire to build a new jail. Another committee was formed in April of that year to recommend a site and plan a new building. By early summer property on Vane Street was purchased for $50 and the council approved plans for a stone structure. A.T. Phillips, a local builder, submitted the low bid of $175 and construction began immediately. The calaboose was completed in early October 1878 and the town took possession of it. The small jail is the oldest extant public building in Delmar, and the town would use it well into the twentieth century. Similar structures are throughout the United States</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The calaboose is a 10 by structure. The vaulted concrete roof is 8 ft high. The walls of locally quarried sandstone are 2 ft thick. Narrow window slits with grated openings are located on the east and west elevations of the building. The main entrance into the structure is a heavy cast iron door with strap hinges and a grated opening located on the south elevation. The interior is a single room that is sheathed in plaster without ornamentation. The furnishings include a stove, folding cot, bureau, table, and chair that appear to be from the early twentieth century.</p><br>
<p>St. Julien is an historic plantation home located in Spotsylvania County, Virginia. The main house was built by Francis Taliaferro Brooke in 1794, with an addition added in 1812. There are several outbuildings that surround the main house. They include a slave quarters, smokehouse, milk house and law office used by Francis Brooke. Though relatively small in size, the home is exemplary of Federal architecture. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in June 1975</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The house is a two-story, single-pile (only one room between the front and back of the building), Federal structure. St. Julien has a five-bay front. An unusual design element of the house is the in antis, or recessed portico at the summit of stone steps up to the front door. The most distinctive feature of St. Julien is its entrance bay. The balcony of the portico is faced with a smaller scale version of the modillion-and-fretwork cornice that encircles the house. A fanlight with wooden mullions. Above the front door, on the second floor, a door and sidelights mirror the portico&#39;s design. The house has a hip roof covered with sheet metal with interior end chimneys.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>St. Julien was the home of Francis Taliaferro Brooke (1763-1851), an important figure in early Virginia politics. Brooke was elected to the State Senate in 1800 and appointed a Judge of the General Court in 1804. Brook eventually became the President of the Supreme Court of Appeals in Virginia. Brook purchased 200 acres in Spotsylvania County in 1796 when he moved his practice and residence to Fredericksburg, Virginia. This tract became St. Julien.</p><br>
<p>Henry Clay was a frequent visitor to St. Julien. Brooke lived on the plantation from the time of the building of the house until his death there in 1851.</p><br>
<p>The Ames Creek Bridge is an historic structure located northeast of DeWitt, Iowa, United States in rural Clinton County. It is an early example of concrete bridge design prior to the codification of standards by the state highway commission. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The bridge was designed by the Clinton County Engineer. The Clinton County Board of Supervisors contracted with Charlotte, Iowa contractor J.R. Kane in 1912 to build the bridge. The structure was completed that same year for $2,154. The poured-in-place concrete through girder bridge measures 37 ft long and is 16 ft wide. There is a minimal amount of ornamentation on the structure. It is composed of 11,000 lbs of reinforcing steel and 157 cubic yards of concrete. The bridge’s concrete abutments and wing walls required almost 125 cubic yards of excavation. It was built a year before the Iowa State Highway Commission began developing standard bridge plans.</p><br>

<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>Camp Paxson Boy Scout Camp, located on the western shore of Seeley Lake, Lolo National Forest, Montana, is on the National Register of Historic Places. It started out as a summer camp for the Boy Scouts of America , and is named in honor of Montana western painter Edgar Samuel Paxson. The United States Forest Service granted the Western Montana Council of the BSA permission to build a summer camp, originally with six small 12x24&#39; clapboard structures and tents on just 4 acre, in 1924. The camp was expanded beginning in October 1939, with more facilities constructed by the Works Progress Administration and Civilian Conservation Corps . The camp was completed in 1940 on 6.7 acre under the supervision of Forest Service engineer Clyde Fickes.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>There are twenty buildings constructed out of notched Western Larch logs: a dining hall, 15 sleeping cabins, two bathhouses, and caretaker facilities. Uncut native stone was used for the fireplaces. The camp was ready for the summer season in 1940. However, about 1941–1942 The Boy Scouts moved their camp to Melita Island on Flathead Lake.</p><br>
<p>The site was used by the United States Forest Service as a smokejumper school for conscientious objectors in the Civilian Public Service Program during World War II. This smokejumper program operated from May 1943 to April 1946 under the name "CPS Camp No. 103". It is the only CCC-constructed youth camp in Montana. Campfire Girls, Girl Scouts, Jaycees, 4-H, the Seventh Day Adventist Church, and various civic and religious organizations have used the camp. The Montana Conservation Corps, modeled on the CCC, holds its first week of training here each year. The site became a training camp for the Missoula Children&#39;s Theatre in 1995 and now has 15 acre. It is also used for activities such as family reunions and weddings.</p><br>
<p>Civilian Conservation Corps Camp in Koke&#39;e State Park is located at Hawaii Route 550, in Waimea, on the island of Kauai, in the USA state of Hawaii. It was built in 1935 with lumber that was put into the saltwater and floated to the shore at Port Allen, the seawater adding a natural termite protection to the lumber. The camp was in continual use for forest management, until Hurricane Iwa devastated it in 1982. In the 1990s it was restored through the efforts of the non-profit Hui O Laka environmental group, and is currently open to the public. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places listings in Hawaii on December 20, 1996.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The camp was originally built in 1935 as one of five Hawaii camps constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps of Franklin Roosevelts New Deal stimulus. The other four camps have been absorbed by population growth, and Kokee is the lone camp remaining in a natural environment. The CCC at Kokee provided forest management, by building trails, roads, and fences, as well as planting over a million trees on Kauai. They helped fight forest fires, eradicate unwanted feral mammals, and collected tree seeds. In addition, the CCC from Kokee also built the CCC camp at Waialae Cabin. In 1943, the program had been disbanded, and the camp was used by the 443d Airlift Wing during World War II. From 1966 until 1973, the Job Corps occupied the premises and provided forest management, followed by the Youth Conservation Corps. The camp was abandoned in 1982 after Hurricane Iwa.</p><br>
<p>The camp is operated by the non-profit local environmental group Hui O Laka, which is dedicated to educating, enhancing, and maintaining Koke&#39;e. In 1990, the Hawaii State Legislature provided Hui O Laka a $20,000 Grant-in-Aid for renovations to the camp. The restoration and continual maintenance of the camp has been provided by members of Hui O Laka, and by volunteers.</p><br>
<p>There are seventeen contributing, and three non-contributing buildings, sites, and structures on the site. During construction, the lumber could not be lifted directly onto the shore, because of the shallowness of Port Allen and the lack of equipment to accomplish the task. Instead, the lumber was floated ashore in the salt water. The soaking in seawater gave the lumber lasting termite protection, allowing the wood to be virtually intact when the camp was added to the NRHP in 1996. The non-contributing buildings were built after 1950.</p><br>

<p>The Félou Falls  are located on the Sénégal River 15 km upstream of Kayes in western Mali. The river tumbles 13 m down an irregular series of rocky steps. The waterfalls mark the furthest point from the mouth of the river that can be reached by boat. In 2009 work started on the construction of the Félou Hydroelectric Plant, a 62.3 MW run-of-the-river hydroelectric plant at the falls replacing a small 600 kW plant dating from the 1920s.</p><br>
<h2>Historical significance</h2><br>
<p>The falls were historically important as they were the furthest point up the Sénégal River from Saint Louis that could be reached by boat. Because of the seasonal variation in the water level, navigation up to the falls was only possible for a few months after the rainy season. French forces made use of the river in their conquest of the Sudan in the 19th century. In 1855 Louis Faidherbe, the French governor of Sénégal, constructed a fort at the village of Médine, 3 km downstream of the falls, to strengthen French control of the Sénégal River and to act a base in the expansion into the interior.</p><br>
<p>At the present time, only very limited use is made of the river for the transport of goods and passengers. Several studies have looked at the feasibility of creating a navigable channel 55 m in width between the small town of Ambidédi in Mali and Saint-Louis in Senegal, a distance of 905 km. It would give landlocked Mali a direct route to the Atlantic Ocean.</p><br>
<h2>Félou and the Sénégal River</h2><br>
<p>The Sénégal River is formed by the confluence of the Bakoye and Bafing rivers 82 km upstream of the Félou Falls near the town of Bafoulabé. Both the Bakoye and the Bafing rivers have their headwaters in the Fouta Djallon highlands in Guinea which receive heavy rainfall between June and October during the West African Monsoon. Over the period 1903-1980, of the water arriving at Félou each year, 13 km came from the Bafing, 4.6 km from the Bakoye and 2.6 km from the basin downstream of Bafoulabé. The amount of water in the river during this period was highly seasonal with the highest flow rate in September and almost no flow between January and June. There were also large year-to-year variations in the flow.</p><br>
<p>In 1987, the Manantali Dam was completed on the Bafing, 90 km upstream of Bafoulabé and 200 km upstream of Félou. The dam retains 11.3 km of water which is used to generate electricity during the dry season. As a result, the intensity of the maximum flood downstream of the dam has been reduced but during the dry season a flow of between 150 m/s and 200 m/s is maintained.</p><br>
<h2>Hydroelectric plant</h2><br>
<p>In the 1920s the French colonial government constructed a weir and a small run-of-the-river hydroelectric plant at the Félou falls which was updated in 1992. The plant used 5 m3/s of water (about one percent of the river) to drive a 600 kW generator. In 2009 work started on the construction of the Félou Hydroelectric Plant, a 62.3 MW run-of-the-river hydroelectric plant at the falls replacing the small plant dating from the 1920s.</p><br>
<p>Massaponax Baptist Church is an historic church of Greek Revival architecture located in Spotsylvania County, Virginia. The Baptist congregation that built the church was established in 1788 at a small church near Massaponax Creek. When that building became too small to hold the growing congregation, the church was moved to its present location at the intersection of USA Route 1 and State Route 608 . The new church was a small, frame building which was also outgrown. In 1859, the current brick building was constructed on the site. Kilns in a nearby field fired the bricks for the exterior walls. By October 1859 the new church was completed at a cost of $3,000. Joseph Billingsly was the first pastor in the new building. An addition was built in 1949 and a brick cottage for the pastor, was built near the church in 1956. The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in January 1991.</p><br>
<p>Not long after the new church was occupied, the American Civil War began. Black members of the church were given letters of dismissal. Several small churches were established for the disenfranchised blacks.</p><br>
<p>Church services ended for the duration of the war. During that time, the church was used as a stable, hospital, headquarters for planning strategy. Soldiers used the interior walls to draw scenes of battle, write messages, and leave names of troops, companies, and soldiers. The walls were whitewashed after the war to cover the graffiti. In 1938, during renovation work, the writing on the walls was exposed. Portions of the graffiti are now visible behind plexiglass frames.</p><br>
<p>Prospect Hill  is a plantation house in Spotsylvania County, Virginia. The house was built between 1811 and 1812 by Spotswood Dabney Crenshaw for Waller Holladay. Holladay was elected to several local political positions and also served in the Virginia General Assembly. Waller purchased land around Prospect Hill beginning in 1803 using an inheritance from his half-brother, General Lewis Littlepage. One of the original outbuildings housed the first post office in Spotsylvania in 1809.</p><br>
<p>Holladay and his wife, Huldah, raised 13 children at Prospect hill. One of their sons, James Holladay, was captured at the Battle of Five Forks during the American Civil War - just days before the Confederate surrender at Appomattox Court House. When he was released, James returned to the plantation and restored it to operation. In the 1880s he added a porch surrounding the first floor. This was the only addition to Prospect Hill until 1991.</p><br>
<p>Prospect Hill underwent restoration between 1991 and 1996. The restoration was done by Holladay family members - descendants of Waller and Huldah Holladay.</p><br>
<p>A number of buildings are part of the plantation. In addition to the manor house, seven dependencies which have been restored, the granary and the plantation office.</p><br>
<p>Seč dam  is an artificial drinking water reservoir located in Pardubice Region, Czech Republic. It supplies cities of Pardubice and Chrudim and is also an important tourist destination located in protected area Železné hory. The dam has also regulatory function and its water is used in some water power plants.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Seč dam is the largest dam in the protected landscape area Železné hory. It is located on river Chrudimka in a valley close to the town of the same name, about 20 kilometers from Chrudim and 25 kilometers from Pardubice. The lake is approx. 7 kilometers long and is situated at 490 meters above the sea level.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The dam was constructed between 1925 and 1934 as a protection against floods. As a result of the construction, 22 buildings were depopulated and flooded. Remains of some of them are popular destination for scuba divers. A small power plant was constructed between 1941 and 1946. In 1947 another smaller reservoir was constructed approx 1 km from the main lake and it is called Seč II.</p><br>
<h2>Biosystem</h2><br>
<p>The environmentally most valuable part of Seč are Ostrůvek and the Oheb peninsula, which consists of a steep rock that ends with a small rocky promontory covered with pines. This place is a home to some rare invertebrate species (snails, beetles) as well as a natural habitat of Eurasian eagle-owls. The forest that covers the Oheb rock consists of some very old species of European beeches. Dead trees are left to decay and become hosts for a wide range of polypores that feed on their dead wood.</p><br>
<h2>Tourism</h2><br>
<p>The lake and its surroundings are the main tourist attraction of the Železné hory region. The surroundings are hilly and covered with forests, meadows and fields. The lake offers great variety of activities including swimming, sailing, boating, windsurfing, scuba diving, fishing in summer and ice skating in winter (at own risk). The forests around the lake offer great opportunity for hiking, horse riding or cross-country skiing in winter. The most important places on Seč and its vicinity are:</p><br>
<p>Oheb: Romantic ruins of a castle from the 13th or 14th century. The remains of the castle&#39;s largest tower are clearly visible from the lake and make one of the most distinctive sceneries of Železné hory.</p><br>
<p>Vildštejn: Another ruin of a small castle now located above a road tunnel next to the dam. Unlike Oheb, Vildštejn is not accessible.</p><br>
<p>Ostrůvek (little island): Small area below Oheb surrounded by water and covered with trees. It used to be a nudist beach.</p><br>
<p>Ústupky: Most of the hotels, restaurants and other recreational facilities are located here.</p><br>
<p>Jewish cemetery: Opposite to Ústupky, several well-preserved Jewish tombstones are located close to the bank of the lake.</p><br>
<p>Wooden plumbing: Constructed in the 1940s. Outstanding technical sight. Almost 1300m long wooden plumbing that used to supply the power plant with water from the lake.</p><br>
<h2>Ecology</h2><br>
<p>Oheb and Ostrůvek are protected natural areas threatened by tourists that visit these sites. Another ecological issue is the wastewater from surrounding villages and recreational objects that contaminates the lake. It does not represent a direct risk to the people who swim in the water but it causes algal bloom. In some cases, large areas of green "tufts" can be observed. This was originally believed to be caused by manure washed down from the fields close to the lake, but results of recent researches proved that fluoride compounds from manure are insoluble in water so it cannot be the primary cause. The algal bloom season on Seč may start as soon as in June and gets worse when there&#39;s lack of rain which reduces the water flow. It is recommended to have a shower after swimming in the water or avoid entering the water when the situations worsens.</p><br>
<p>Oakley is a historic plantation and home located in Spotsylvania County, Virginia, Virginia. The Federal/Georgian style, 2 1/2 -story home was built in 1828 by Samuel Alsop, Jr. as a wedding present for his daughter, Clementina. Alsop built several notable houses in Spotsylvania County including Kenmore, Spotswood Inn, and Fairview.</p><br>
<p>Oakley was part of a grant of 7,777 acres given to Gawain Corbin by the King of England. Alsop bought 849 acres in 1816. The Georgian home was built using bricks made in two kilns that Alsop built on the property.</p><br>
<p>Oakley is located near the site of many major battles of the American Civil War. A number of battles and skirmishes occurred on or near the property. According to a letter written by a resident of the house at the time, during one two-day period, the house was ransacked by "...at least 2000 soldiers tramping through the house." A Yankee soldier disobeyed his Major&#39;s orders to burn the house down.</p><br>
<p>During the latter half of the 19th century, the house was neglected and used more as a barn than a home. In 1919, the property was purchased by a Mr. McHenry who wanted to mine for silver and gold. The mining project failed and, in 1926, the plantation was sold to George C. Beals. The property has been owned by the Beals since then. Running water and electricity were added in the 1940s and central heating in the 1960s.</p><br>
<p>As of 2005, the Oakley farm consisted of nearly 2,000 acres. Oakley was added to the National Register of Historic Places in May 2002.</p><br>
<p>Walnut Grove is an historic Greek Revival-style house in Spotsylvania County, Virginia. The house was built in 1840 on land that was purchased by Jonathan Johnson in 1829. Markings on the exposed oak beams indicate that Walnut Grove was built by William A. Jennings. Jennings was recognized as a master builder of Greek Revival homes during that period. Walnut Grove was added to the National Register of Historic Places in August 2004.</p><br>
<h2>Design and construction</h2><br>
<p>Walnut grove is a five-bay house with a raised brick basement. The front porch is distinctive Greek Revival. The flat porch roof over the entrance is supported by four square Tuscan columns joined by the original balustrades. The entry is adorned with carved sidelights and a leaded tracery transom. The shutters on the basement and first floor windows are original. The roof is hipped.</p><br>
<p>The houses floor plan is L-shaped. Like the front entrance, the rear porch roof rests on Tuscan columns. The house has three brick interior-end chimneys. Oak beams in the hallway, kitchen, and dining room walls are exposed. These beams show Roman numerals indicating where joists are to be attached. These markings are identical to markings in Edgewood, another of Jennings houses.</p><br>
<p>Little has changed in the appearance of Walnut Grove since the mid-1800s. On the grounds, there is the original smokehouse, as well as the stone fireplace of the 18th century Coleman house that was built at Walnut Grove prior to the current house. This fireplace was once the kitchen for the home.</p><br>
<p>In the 1980s the Bond house, an 18th-century building, was moved from Louisa County, Virginia to Walnut Grove. The restoration of this building, which currently serves as a bed and breakfast, was recognized by the Spotsylvania Preservation Foundation. The grounds also feature an English garden, vegetable gardens, orchards, and a vinyard.</p><br>
<p>Robinson House sits at the bottom of Henry Hill, near Bull Run in Virginia. The house was named for the family of James "Gentleman Jim" Robinson, a free African American, who built the house. The Robinson family, descendants of Gentleman Jim, owned and occupied the house and a large portion of the land around it from the 1840s until 1936. The National Park Service acquired this parcel as part of their effort to commemorate two major battles of the American Civil War, the First and Second battles of Bull Run  which occurred about one year apart. Both battles were Confederate victories. However, Robinson House managed to survive virtually unscathed.</p><br>
<h2>Pre-Civil War</h2><br>
<p>The homestead was constructed in the 1840s by James "Gentleman Jim" Robinson, an African American, on land he purchased from local planter John Lee. James would become the third richest African American in the area.</p><br>
<p>As the son of Landon Carter, Jr. and a free African American woman, James received an education in his youth. In honor of the private tutor who taught him and the Carters daughters Bladen and Tasco, he took the last name of his tutor as his own. In 1847, John Lee died. As was common throughout the United States at that time, Lee owned land and slaves, including Jims wife and children. Upon his death, those family members who were still on his plantation were willed to Jim, who took them to live with him in his new home.</p><br>
<p>Around the same time Jim established his own roadhouse on the Warrenton Turnpike, the main road from Washington, D.C. to Richmond, Virginia, the capital of what would become the Confederacy. This was a prime location that would make him one of the wealthiest African Americans in the Manassas area, but would also bring the Civil War right into his front yard.</p><br>

<p>Two major battles of the Civil War were waged around Robinson House. During the First Battle of Bull Run troops from both sides occupied the area. Before the fighting began Gentleman Jim took his family to a neighbors home where he hoped they would be safe. After securing the house Jim attempted to reunite with his family, but was caught in the crossfire of the battle and had to take shelter under a bridge over Youngs Branch of the Bull Run River until hostilities ceased.</p><br>
<p>The first battle was over in a matter of a few days. Many thought that the Civil War would be decided in one, winner take all battle. But this was not to be the case. Confederate troops won the First Battle of Manassas, with federal troops retreating back to Washington, D.C., but the Civil War continued.</p><br>
<h3>Second Battle of Bull Run</h3><br>
<p>The Second Battle of Bull Run lasted for about a week and also resulted in a Confederate victory. Again, Federal troops retreated back to Washington and the Confederates did not pursue. The casualties on both sides were even higher following this second battle. Pope and McClellan were strategically out maneuvered by Lee and Jackson, despite the fact that they had more troops.</p><br>
<p>Again the battle raged around Robinson House. Following the destruction of Henry House during the First Battle of Bull Run, Robinson House was one of the most strategically located buildings on the battlefield. Because of this it was used as a Union hospital and planning station. In sworn testimony before the Southern Claims Commission, Gentleman Jim described how following the battle troops raided his farm in search of food and supplies, causing more than $2,000 in damages.</p><br>
<h2>Post Civil War</h2><br>
<h3>Southern Claims Commission</h3><br>
<p>On February 2, 1872, James Robinson presented his case to the Southern Claims Commission. This commission was set up to handle damage claims of property owners who were loyal to the Union. Jim&#39;s testimony, as well as that of the witnesses called in regarding his case, offered up valuable insights into the military maneuvers of the Union and Confederate troops. In the claim Jim and his neighbors detail how Union troops took food, live stock, fence posts, and goods from his house.</p><br>
<p>The house was also used as a field hospital for the wounded and dying, during the 2nd Battle of Bull Run. As one reporter put it,</p><br>
<h3>After the death of Gentleman Jim</h3><br>
<p>Following the death of Gentleman Jim in 1875 his son Alfred took over as head of the household. According to available census records, he moved in with his mother and other family members as the head of the Robinson clan, until his death in 1904. The house remained in the family up until 1936 when it was sold to the National Park Service (NPS). This site of the house the surrounding property makes up an important part of the battlefield park today.</p><br>
<h3>Manassas Battlefield Park</h3><br>
<p>Robinson House was one of the few houses on the battlefield that was occupied during the 19th and 20th centuries. Even before the First Battle of Bull Run some of the other homes in the area, such as the Carter mansion at Pittsylvania, had been abandoned and fallen into disrepair. Henry House was completely demolished during the First Battle of Bull Run, killing its resident, Judith Carter Henry, in the process. Robinson House managed to remain intact in spite of its location in the center of heavy gunfire and artillery barrages.</p><br>
<p>Although the house was able to survive the Civil War, it was destroyed by arsonists in 1993. The perpetrators were never caught, but there was evidence that it was a hate crime. Apparently, just a few weeks prior to the destruction of the house someone had vandalized the structure with graffiti.</p><br>
<p>The National Park Service, in accordance with their current guidelines, has no plans to rebuild the structure, but they did conduct an archeological dig on the property, which resulted in the publication of the most significant document on the house and the family that owned and occupied it from pre-Civil War days into the early 20th century.</p><br>
<p>The site of Robinson House is preserved as part of the Manassas National Battlefield Park.</p><br>
<p>Careys Peak is a peak in the Williams Range, part of the Mount Royal Range, located in the Upper Hunter region of New South Wales, Australia. At 1,544 m above sea level, it is one of the higher points in Barrington Tops National Park, some 200 km north of Sydney. The peak is at the edge of the Barrington Tops plateau, within the declared wilderness of the World Heritage Gondwana Rainforests of Australia.</p><br>
<p>Wilderness streams, such as the Allyn River and Williams River rise nearby. On a clear day, the higher peaks of the Blue Mountains may be seen. And looking south east, the sands of Stockton Beach on the coast may be viewed. The scenic appeal of the area is well regarded. Particularly the large dark stands of rainforest and snow gum wilderness. Careys Peak is a popular camping and bushwalking destination. Many years ago, a skiing slope was cleared behind Careys Peak. It has since disappeared in natural bush re-growth.</p><br>
<p>The historic hut was built around the year 1934. It was crushed by a fallen tree in the 1970s. Rebuilt in 1973 and repaired again in 2007. Closing the four wheel drive tracks to vehicular traffic is said to slow the spread of invasive weeds, such as Scotch broom, mist flower and crofton weed.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>The geology of the area includes Alkali Gabbro, a type of igneous rock. Careys Peak was a vent of the Barrington Volcano. During the Eocene Period, a large basalt flow covered most of the nearby plateau. Below are older Permian Granodiorites and Devonian-Carboniferous sedimentary rocks, such as mudstones, siltstones, minor conglomerates and limestones.</p><br>
<h2>Flora</h2><br>
<p>The surrounding area is heavily forested. Sub alpine woodland grows on the plateau. On the escarpment, Cool temperate rainforest is dominated by the Antarctic beech. Other interesting plants nearby include the snow gum, southern sassafras and broad-leaved pepperbush. A two pronged landslip occurred in the rainforest at Careys Peak in 1978. This area is now slowly being naturally re-vegetated, initially by non rainforest species. It is expected to return to the original Antarctic beech rainforest.</p><br>
<h2>Fauna</h2><br>
<p>Animals in the area include wombats, eastern quoll, pademelons, eastern grey kangaroos and swamp wallabies. Lyrebirds may be seen in the undergrowth, and yellow-tailed black cockatoos are common overhead.</p><br>

<p>Second Baptist Church is an historic church building located in Centerville, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The congregation was organized in 1893 by African Americans. There were twelve people in the congregation when the church began. The congregation grew in size and by 1902 they desired their own church building. They began fundraising and the cornerstone for the structure was laid in June of that year. The wood-framed structure was designed in the Gothic Revival style. Coal mining in the area began to decline in the 1920s and the congregation’s membership peaked in the 1930s at 126 people. Opera singer Simon Estes sang in the church choir in the 1940s. The congregation continued to use the church until the early 1990s. The building sat empty for a short time until efforts to preserve it began in 1996. The restoration project was completed in 2003 and it is now used for musical and other events.</p><br>
<p>The Clarendon Stone Store, also known as the Old Stone Store or the Copeland Store, is an historic commercial building listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Located in the hamlet of Clarendon, in the town of Clarendon, New York, the building sits at the corner of New York State Route 31A  and New York State Route 237 .</p><br>
<p>Like many structures in the region, the store was one of the first buildings in the world built with Medina sandstone, as the material was plentiful in the surrounding fields. The first proprietor of the store was David Sturges. His son-in-law, George Copeland, operated it from 1843 until 1892, giving it one of its alternative names, the Copeland Store. At various points, the building housed post office and town court functions in addition to the general store.</p><br>
<p>Even after Copeland&#39;s family sold the building, it remained a general store and Clarendon landmark until 1975. The two buyers are experienced with renovation of historic properties and have plans to complete renovation by the end of 2013. Their intent is to put commercial space on the first floor, with an apartment on the second.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 9, 2012, with its listing promoted by a group of local citizens who wanted to prevent the building&#39;s demolition.</p><br>
<p>The CB&Q Passenger Depot, now known as the Appanoose County Post 526 VFW Hall, is an historic train station located in Centerville, Iowa, United States. The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad  bought the Keokuk & Western Railroad in 1903. Centerville served as a dividing point on the line and by 1910 the people in the town started to plan for a larger station. Its architect is unknown, but the depot was probably designed by a CB&Q architect using fairly standard plans that were used by the railroad at the time. Construction of the Prairie School style building began in July 1911 and it was completed in February of the following year. Local contractor B.S. Staley built the building. The building was used by the CB&Q until 1982. It was bought by the Appanoose County VFW post for their meeting hall in 1990 and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<p>The Oakland Cemetery is a 40 acre public cemetery maintained by the city of Fort Dodge, Iowa, United States. Property for the cemetery was set aside in 1859. It was laid out the same year by Egbert Bagg, an architect and civil engineer from Utica, New York. The graves and monuments are arranged around the natural contours of the hills that overlook Soldier Creek in a natural park-like setting. It is considered a good and rare example of a rural cemetery in North Central Iowa. It has been listed as an historic district on the National Register of Historic Places since 2000.</p><br>
<p>Its notable resources include:</p><br>
<p>a Civil War memorial monument created by a local sculptor and Civil War veteran, William Pollock.</p><br>
<p>a Potter&#39;s Field</p><br>

<p>The First National Bank Building, now known as the Central Place Apartments, is an historic building located in Fort Dodge, Iowa, United States. The First National Bank was established in 1866 and grew to become the city’s principal financial institution. Its officers and directors throughout its existence were among the city’s most prominent businessmen. The present building was designed by the Des Moines architectural firm of Liebbe, Nourse & Rasmussen in the Early Commercial style. The six-story structure rises to a height of 90 ft The building has subsequently been renovated into apartments. It was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003, and as a contributing property in the Fort Dodge Downtown Historic District in 2010.</p><br>
<p>Moulton Castle, also known as King&#39;s Hall Park, is a medieval earthwork and scheduled monument situated 1.5 mi to the south of Moulton, Lincolnshire, England. It probably dates from the twelfth century. It was owned by Thomas de Moulton in the early thirteenth century and it was during this period of unrest when the fortifications were most likely constructed. It remained under occupation by the Moulton family until at least 1313.</p><br>
<p>Due to the lack of any formal excavation and the paucity of sources, much remains unclear about the site. It is unknown whether it was a true castle or merely a fortified manor house, why it was so isolated and so far from the village, and why and when it fell into disuse. It was in need of repair in 1461 and mostly gone by 1531. There are no ruins visible today, and the site consists of nothing more than a large D-shaped moat and earthwork, barely perceptible from nearby roads. The only investigations into the site took place during World War II when the Home Guard discovered thirteenth-century pottery while digging a bunker, and a later fieldwalking expedition from a local school.</p><br>
<p>It has been reported that some of the stone from the castle was used to build part of the church porch at nearby Holbeach.</p><br>
<p>The New Gloucester Historic District encompasses the rural village center of New Gloucester, Maine. The village is one of the few in Maine&#39;s inland areas to be settled in the second half of the 18th century, and has a significant concentration of 18th-century residences. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of New Gloucester is located in northern Cumberland County, northwest of the coastal communities of Freeport and Brunswick. It was chartered in 1735, and first settled in 1742. When King George&#39;s War broke out in 1744, it was abandoned because of Native American attacks, and was not resettled until 1753. Its first wood frame house, built in 1761 by Isaac Parsons, still stands in the village center. The town was incorporated in 1794, and has always been a predominantly rural agricultural community.</p><br>
<p>The town center is a rural, dispersed village, centered at the junction Maine State Route 231 with Gloucester Hill Road and Cobbs Bridge Road. SR 231 roughly follows the first major route to the coast, joining the village to Yarmouth in 1756. Stretched along these roads are a significant number of wood frame houses, many of them built before 1810 and exhibiting Georgian or Federal styling. Also included are a 1782 tavern, the towns first cemetery, and the site of a blockhouse (now marked by a reduced-size replica) built following the towns resettlement in 1753. Public buildings in the district are generally of later construction, including the 1838 Greek Revival Congregational Church (built on the site of the town&#39;s first church), and its town hall, library, and first high school, all built around the turn of the 20th century.</p><br>
<p>The Woodruff-Fontaine House is a historic building at 680 Adams Avenue in Memphis, Tennessee.</p><br>
<p>It was constructed in 1871 on Adams Avenue, which was once known as "Millionaire&#39;s Row" in Memphis. It was designed by the Jones and Baldwin firm of Edward C. Jones and Matthias H. Baldwin. Impressed by its construction, the neighbors had their home, the Goyer Lee House, expanded by the same firm.</p><br>
<p>After standing empty for many years, in 1962 the house was acquired and restored by the Association for the Preservation of Tennessee Antiquities. In 1971 the Woodruff-Fontaine House and the adjacent James Lee House were listed together on the National Register of Historic Places under the title "Lee and Fontaine Houses of the James Lee Memorial". The two houses also are included in the Victorian Village historic district. The Woodruff-Fontaine House is operated for tours, luncheons, weddings, and as a gift shop.</p><br>
<p>The Dennis Melcher Pottery and House are historic structures located southwest of Danville, Iowa, United States. Dennis Melcher and his brother Edward were both born in Baden, Germany and immigrated to Burlington, Iowa in the 1840s. Their father had been a potter in Germany and Dennis opened a pottery in Burlington in 1844. The Melcher’s discovered a vein of clay near the Agency Road on the Des Moines County and Henry County line. Dennis bought 19.98 acre in Danville Township. He built a limestone building to house his business and a house across the road to house his family. He opened a pottery in 1851 and worked until he died in 1879. He produced crocks, churns, kitchen jugs, canning jars, bean pots, flower pots and possibly dinnerware. The buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<p>Margarita Peak is a prominent mountain in San Diego County. It is 9 mi southwest of Murrieta Hot Springs and 9 mi northwest of Fallbrook. Its 3,193 ft summit is the 32nd most prominent peak in San Diego County. The trail to the peak is relatively little-used and not known by many people. It is considered one of San Diego&#39;s greatest hidden gems, due to the breathtaking 360-degree panorama views at the top. The main trail begins on Margarita Road after the end of Tenaja Road 13 mi southwest of I-15 and leads to nearby Margarita Lookout. Persons attempting to reach the peak must use a steep, poorly maintained firebreak that connects to the main trail. The hike to the top is 3 mi each way.</p><br>
<h2>Views</h2><br>
<p>On clear days, visibility ranges from 60 to 70 mi in every direction. To the west, the Pacific Ocean, the Coronado Islands of Mexico, the coastline of San Diego County and Long Beach, and the Channel Islands can be seen. To the north, San Gorgonio, Mount Baldy, Santiago Peak, and the San Jacintos are seen. Looking east, Agua Tibia Mountain and the Palomar Mountain range are visible. On very clear days, Santa Rosa Peak and Toro Peak may also be seen. To the south, Cuyamaca Peak can be seen on a very clear day. To the south are San Miguel Mountain in San Diego County, as well as the foreground of Encinitas, San Marcos, and Escondido.</p><br>
<p>Turn Store and the Tinsmiths Shop, also known as Turns Bushkill General Store, are two historic commercial buildings located in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area at Lehman Township, Pike County, Pennsylvania. The Turn General Store is a 2- to 2 1/2-story, frame building in two sections. The older section dates to about 1837 and is at the rear of the present building. Attached to the front is an addition built about 1916. The Tinsmith&#39;s Shop was built about 1837, and is a two-story, frame building on a fieldstone foundation. It has a slate covered gable roof.</p><br>
<p>In the 1990s it was sold to Guy Gentile and became "Deli Depot" which sold grocery, deli, and craft items.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>The William Kauffman House is the only historic brick or masonry house in Rico, Colorado. Built in 1891 during the mining boom that drove Rico&#39;s population to 4,000, the house was the residence of the Kauffman family until 1915. In the 1940s it was acquired by the Rico Argentine Mining Company and used for worker housing until the mine closed in 1971. Vacant during the 1970s, it was restored in the early 1980s.</p><br>
<p>The rectangular two-story house has plain detailing with a shallow-pitched roof sloping to the rear. The brick facade is detailed with recessed bays and a wood cornice on the south and east sides. There was once a porch on the west and south sides. The tall windows and doors have segmental-arched tops.</p><br>
<p>The Kauffman House was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 29, 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Smith and Weller Building is an historic structure located in New London, Iowa, United States. Charles W. Smith and C.B. Weller bought the lot on which the building sits for $300 in 1872. The building itself was built sometime before 1879 when Smith and Weller sold the lot to Sam Keiser and W.S. Workman for $2,500. The structure was designed in the Italianate style and features simple brick patterned arches. Keiser and his wife owned the building until 1907 when they sold it to the Knights of Pythias for their lodge. A hardware store occupied the main floor and the lodge was on the second floor. The Knights of Pythias sold the building in 1946 to Otis and Mae Maginnis. The building has housed a bar in the intervening years. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<p>Old Main is an historic building located on the Iowa Wesleyan University campus in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, United States. Built in 1854, when James Harlan was the college’s president, it is the second building constructed on the campus after Pioneer Hall. It is believed that Old Main was the first genuine collegiate building built in Iowa. The bricks for the building were manufactured locally by Benjamin Franklin Pearson of Keosauqua, Iowa, who also was responsible for some of the building&#39;s construction. The three-story building has modified classical features. It was designed to have classrooms on the first two floors and the library, natural history museum and chapel on the third floor. The building is capped with a hip roof with bracketed eaves, and a wooden cupola with a low dome painted gold.</p><br>
<p>The International P.E.O. Sisterhood was founded in the building. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<p>The Harlan-Lincoln House is an historic structure located on the Iowa Wesleyan College campus in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, United States. It is now a museum that houses memorabilia from the families of Senator James Harlan and President Abraham Lincoln, who are associated with the house.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Built in 1854, the house was built for James Harlan who served as the college’s president from 1853–1855 and again from 1869-1870. Harlan was president when the school’s name was changed from Mt. Pleasant Collegiate Institute to Iowa Wesleyan University. He maintained his home here after he resigned as college president to become one of the USA Senators from Iowa and then Secretary of the Interior during the administration of Andrew Johnson. Harlan retired to the house in 1876 and lived there until his death in 1899. The house passed to his daughter Mary who had married Robert Todd Lincoln, son of Abraham Lincoln. She donated the house to Iowa Wesleyan in 1907. It has served as the president’s house, and administrative building and it housed the art department. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<p>The Harlan-Lincoln House now serves as a museum that contains memorabilia from both the Harlan and Lincoln families. Mary Todd Lincoln’s mourning veil, a collar fragment believed to be from the coat President Lincoln wore when was assassinated, a desk used by Senator Harlan and a rock collection from Abraham Lincoln II are all part of the collection.</p><br>
<p>Lakewood is a historic antebellum mansion in Livingston, Alabama, United States. The two-and-a-half-story Greek Revival-style house was completed in 1840. The house was recorded by the Historic American Buildings Survey in 1936. It was added to Alabama&#39;s Places in Peril in 2012, a listing that highlights significantly endangered properties in the state.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Lakewood was built for Joseph Lake, a native of North Carolina, by Hiram W. Bardwell, a master builder. Construction was completed in 1840. Located adjacent to the University of West Alabama, Julia Strudwick Tutwiler, a Lake relative, periodically resided in the house from 1881 to 1910 while she served as president of the university. It was then known as Livingston Normal College. The house was extensively photographed by Alex Bush for the Historic American Buildings Survey in November and December 1936.</p><br>
<p>Lakewood has continued to be owned by descendants of the Lake family to the current day. The house and its surviving 10 acre of grounds were listed on the Places in Peril in 2012 due to the immediate threat of its acquisition by developers.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The house has a plan that is relatively rare in early Alabama architecture. The plan features a brick ground floor that is topped by one-and-a-half-stories of wood-frame construction. The ground floor originally contained domestic spaces, with the formal rooms on the principle floor and bedrooms on the upper floor. A central hallway is present on all levels.</p><br>
<p>The facade is five bays wide, with central entrance doors on the ground and principle floors. The bays are divided by two-story Doric pilasters, with the middle third of the facade occupied by a two-tiered tetrastyle Doric portico. Two curved wrought iron staircases ascend from ground level to the front center of the upper portico, leading to the formal entrance.</p><br>
<p>The Main Sewerage Pumping Station  is located at 125 O Street, SE in the Southeast Quadrant of Washington, D.C. on the Anacostia River between the Washington Navy Yard and Nationals Park.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>It is a historic two-and-a-half-story brick building built 1904–1907 in the Beaux Arts style with Renaissance Revival features.</p><br>
<p>The exterior is of reddish-brown brick with stone decoration, and the structure is formed of steel and concrete. It was influenced by the City Beautiful Movement of city-planning popular in the early 20th century.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 24, 2012. It continues in use as a sewerage pumping station and is manned continuously throughout the year.</p><br>
<p>The R. Bruce and May W. Louden House is an historic building located in Fairfield, Iowa, United States. Original construction is in a colonial revival style and the interior was remodeled in an art deco style in 1928. Louden sold the property in 1948, and it was broken into apartments in the 1960s. The house was built in 1905 and was the residence of R. Bruce and May W. Louden until 1948.</p><br>
<p>The house is within walking distance of the Louden Machinery Company, as it was the custom at the time for factory owners to be close to their properties. He was the third president of the company in Fairfield from 1940 to 1951, when he was killed in an auto accident. During that period the company produced overhead handling equipment for American industries during World War II. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<p>R. Bruce Louden was president of Louden Machinery Company when the firm was contracted to build the assembly line for the worlds first, and also the, during World War II. The atom bomb assembly line project was so secret that Louden was never told of it during construction, and liaison with the Manhattan Project was through Louden Vice President R. R. Louden,as per one of Loudens grandchildren.</p><br>
<p>In its heyday, Louden Machinery Company was one of the world’s largest farm equipment manufacturers and was the largest shipper on the Rock Island Railroad. The founder, William Louden, was a prolific inventor with many inventions to his credit. His hay handling system (the first major invention)was a pulley system on a monorail used to move hay in the mow of the barn, and was the first commercially successful monorail system in the world.</p><br>
<h2>The Billy Sunday Connection</h2><br>
<p>In 1907, world-famous evangelist Billy Sunday held one of his early revivals next to the Louden home, according to local author and historian Susan Fulton. Fulton designates the location as five blocks due west of the Presbyterian church, which is the location of the Louden home. Records were kept of the Fairfield Revival altar call, and 1,018 people came to the altar during the week of the event. When the revival was through, the Revival tabernacle was torn down and re-constructed in, where it served the community for many years until a windstorm destroyed it in the 1930s. Wood from the ruined tabernacle was then used to construct the gazebo on the city square. So the Fairfield Revival Gazebo still stands in the center of the square to this day.</p><br>
<p>Sunday, a native of Ames, Iowa, had been a professional baseball player first for the Chicago White Stockings,then for the Pittsburgh Alleghenys and the Philadelphia Phillies. Hall of Famer Cap Anson was his first coach and mentor. In his final season he had an infinite(0.00) earned run average (ERA) with Pittsburgh.</p><br>
<p>But he left his stellar career in 1890 for the ministry. A Presbyterian and a confirmed ‘dry,’ he became one of the national leaders in the drive for Prohibition. It is said that he preached to over 100 million people in his career in the days before television and most radio.</p><br>
<p>Sunday&#39;s Revival tabernacle in Fairfield was not his first. His marketing technique was to build a wooden tabernacle prior to the revival event—essentially a large wood barn with board bench seats and a sawdust floor. The tabernacle would then become both the forum and the advertising medium as questions about the large construction project would bubble up in the community. Sunday repeated the technique during early revival events throughout Iowa and Illinois.</p><br>
<p>The property has been restored over the years by Bob Krause and his late wife Maryann Mills-Krause (passed in 2005) and by his present wife, Vicky Matthiessen Krause.</p><br>

<p>The B. Harley Bradley House is a Frank Lloyd Wright-designed home, constructed in the Prairie School style, that was constructed in Kankakee, Illinois in 1900-1901.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>B. Harley Bradley and his wife, Anna Hickox Bradley, were the brother- and sister-in-law of Warren Hickox, of the Warren Hickox House which is located next door to the Bradley House. The Bradley House and the Willits House, also built in 1901 in Highland Park, Illinois and designed by Wright, compete for the title of the first Prairie School residence designed by Wright and built to his specifications.</p><br>
<p>Harley Bradley had inherited means from his grandfather, a local manufacturer of plowshares and other farm and garden implements. The Bradley House is a 12,000-square foot residential space that includes a 6,000-square-foot residence, a 3,000-square-foot basement, and a 3,000-feet stable space that is connected to the main building by a breezeway. Tours are available for a fee, and the house&#39;s current owner, the nonprofit group Wright in Kankakee, has refitted the stable to serve as a gift shop.</p><br>
<p>The "Prairie School" is so named because Wright, the schools pioneer architect, worked with his clients to develop architectural spaces that were inspired by the natural plant forms of the tallgrass prairie that surrounded Kankakee. This mirroring theme was especially suited to the fenestration of the buildings constructed in this style. USA Today commented that the house, "reveals what would become his hallmark: long rows of windows, stained glass, and a low-pitched roofline." 82 of the Bradley Houses original 90 art glass windows survive. The home, as completed, included fittings and furnishings designed or chosen by Wright. Ironically, much of the Bradley family fortune used to build and fit out the house had come from the implements used to plow up the prairie sod that is celebrated by the house.</p><br>
<p>The B. Harley Bradley House was listed in the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Riverview Historic District on August 22, 1986. On June 2, 2009, it was individually recognized by the National Park Service with a listing.</p><br>
<p>Mount Barrington, a mountain that is part of the Mount Royal Range, is located on the Barrington Tops plateau in the Mid-Coast Council within New South Wales, Australia and has an elevation of 1,555 m above sea level.</p><br>
<p>Now the remnants of a volcano, Mount Barrington, formerly the Barrington Volcano, erupted near its present peak between 44 and 54 million years ago. The eruption caused a 700 km3 basalt flow, which covered much of the Barrington Tops plateau. The lava was up to 1,000 m thick.</p><br>
<p>The extensive rainforests in the area grow on much of the resultant red/brown soils. Nearby Careys Peak is considered a vent in this extinct shield volcano. The surrounding area is covered by sub alpine Snow Gum woodland, with rainforest on the escarpment edge and in fire free gullies.</p><br>

<p>Mount Royal is situated at the southern end of the Mount Royal Range in the Barrington Tops region of eastern Australia. It is part of the World Heritage Gondwana Rainforests of Australia.</p><br>
<p>The lower sections of the mountain are made up of sedimentary rocks such as mudstones. A residual basalt cap appears at 1,100 m above sea level. It originated from the flow of the nearby Barrington Volcano. The mountain is partially in Mount Royal National Park and Barrington Tops National Park.</p><br>
<h2>Flora</h2><br>
<p>The high altitude rainforest growing on the red/brown soils lacks the Antarctic beech despite apparently ideal conditions. Their place the upper canopy is taken by the golden sassafras. The elevated narrow rainforest features hanging moss, often covered in mist.</p><br>
<p>The mountain&#39;s summit is covered in a low rainforest thicket, composed mostly of the hill water gum. Other noteworthy plants on the mountain include New England blackbutt, chainfruit, prickly ash, grass tree and the mountain walnut. Another interesting feature of Mount Royal is the grassy balds, surrounded by temperate rainforest. Fire caused by lightning is one speculative theory of their origin.</p><br>
