<p>Bell River, a watercourse that is part of the Macquarie catchment within the Murray–Darling basin, is located in the central west region of New South Wales, Australia.</p><br>
<h2>Course</h2><br>
<p>The river rises in the hills north-west of Orange and flows generally north past the town of Molong, joining the Macquarie River at Wellington. The course of the river is generally aligned with the Mitchell Highway, with the river dropping 441 m over its 146 km course.</p><br>
<p>Platypus have often been sighted in the lower reaches of the Bell River.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Aboriginal history</h3><br>
<p>The original inhabitants of the land surrounding the Bell River were Australian Aborigines of the Wiradjuri clan.</p><br>
<h3>European history</h3><br>
<p>The area surrounding the Bell River was first explored by John Oxley who named the river in honour of Brevet Major Bell.</p><br>
<p>Alluvial gold was discovered in and along the river in 1851, inspiring a minor gold rush, most notably near the confluence of the Nubrigyn Creek with the Bell River.</p><br>
<p>Minor flooding of the Bell River occurs sporadically, before its junction with the Macquarie River, including in 1920, 1926, and 1990 at Newrea, where the river reached 6.77 m.</p><br>
<p>Honesdale Residential Historic District, is a national historic district located at Honesdale, Wayne County, Pennsylvania. The district includes 289 contributing buildings and 5 contributing sites in a predominantly residential neighborhood of Honesdale. The residences were built between 1830 and 1940, in a variety of popular architectural styles including Greek Revival, Italianate, Bungalow / American Craftsman, Colonial Revival, Second Empire, Queen Anne. The larger homes are typically 2 1/2-story, wood frame dwellings with hipped and gable roofs. The district also includes some former factories, such as the Irving Cut Glass Co. and Honesdale Show Company, and a former Armory. The contributing sites consist of four cemeteries and Riverside Park.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<p>Mynydd y Drum is a hill on the border between the county of Powys and Neath Port Talbot County Borough, south Wales. The summit of the hill is in Neath Port Talbot  at 298m and lies towards the western end of a broad curving ridge, the larger part of which is in Powys . The eastern half of the hill is currently being opencasted for coal. The hill is sometimes referred to simply as The Drum .</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>The hill is formed from sandstones and mudstones of the South Wales Coal Measures which also contain numerous coal seams currently being worked within the large Nant Helen Opencast Coal Mine.</p><br>
<h2>Archaeology and industrial archaeology</h2><br>
<p>Several cairns of unknown age are found around the summit plateau though that formerly known as Garn Goch has been obliterated by the opencasting. The remains of numerous nineteenth century tramroads are scattered around the flanks of the hill, notably that of Claypon&#39;s Tramroad extension, one of the later parts of the Brecon Forest Tramroad linking Onllwyn with Ystalyfera in the Swansea Valley.</p><br>
<h2>Access</h2><br>
<p>Other than the area being opencasted, much of the hill is designated as open country and therefore available for walkers to wander over at will. Various public footpaths and bridleways provide access over its lower slopes from the communities in the upper Swansea Valley such as Abercraf and Ystradgynlais and from Seven Sisters/Blaendulais at the head of the Dulais valley to the southeast.</p><br>
<h2>Folklore</h2><br>
<p>There is a legend that three cauldrons of gold are buried on the hill&#39;s summit, guarded by demons. There is a prophecy that the treasure will one day be claimed by a young girl.</p><br>
<p>Fort St. Catherine, or Fort St. Catherines , is a coastal artillery fort at the North-East tip of St. Georges Island, Bermuda. Successively redeveloped, the fort was used first by Bermudian Militia and then by regular Royal Artillery units from 1612 into the 20th Century. Today it houses a museum.</p><br>
<h2>Militia forts</h2><br>
<p>The first fort was built on the site from wood in 1612. This was replaced by a stone fort in 1614. It was one of a number of forts built immediately following the Virginia Company being given official sanction in 1612 for its possession of Bermuda, which it had occupied since the wreck of the Sea Venture in 1609. The first forts were built around St. Georges Harbour, followed closely by forts on Castle Harbour, the Castle Islands Fortifications. These forts include the oldest surviving buildings, the oldest surviving fortifications, the oldest surviving house (a fort commanders house), also the first stone forts, the first stone house, and the first coastal artillery built by the English in the New World. While most of these forts were designed to prevent an enemy entering St. Georges Harbour, either directly from the open Atlantic, or via Castle Harbour, Fort St. Catherines, was placed in a location to prevent vessels which had entered through the reefline from the open Atlantic via the main shipping channel from rounding St. George&#39;s Island and moving to Westward. Vessels passing this way are constrained by the surrounding reeflines, and must travel near to shore, and cannot take evasive manoeuvres, making the site a very useful one for coastal artillery.</p><br>
<h2>Use by the Regular Army</h2><br>
<p>The fort was rebuilt five times, the last time at the end of the 19th Century, by when Bermuda had become the premier base for the Royal Navy in the Western Hemisphere, requiring a large military garrison with numerous forts and batteries to protect it.</p><br>
<p>Ultimately, the forts exposed position made it more vulnerable than later forts, often designed to be protected from fire, and obscured from view, by earthworks. These included Fort Victoria and Fort Albert, on the hill directly behind Fort St. Catherines. In the 20th Century, Forts fell out of favour, and most of the coastal artillery still in use was placed in batteries with only minimal fortification, like the St. Davids Battery, Alexandra Battery, and Warwick Camp Battery. The 10 inch RMLs at Fort St. Catherine were not replaced as the 9.2 inch RBLs placed at Fort Victoria made St. Catherine&#39;s and Fort Albert unnecessary. the RMLs were pushed over the side of the fort in the 1940s and have lain since rusting on the surrounding slopes and shoreline. The 10 inch RMLs now mounted in the fort were taken from Fort Albert in the 1960s.</p><br>
<h2>Post-Military Use</h2><br>
<p>In the 1950s, a production of Hamlet was staged at Fort St. Catherines starring Charlton Heston. Today, the fort houses a museum dedicated to Bermudian history, particularly the military aspect. As a result of their historical significance, with fortifications spanning the full four centuries of English settlement in the New World, the forts at the East End of Bermuda, together with St. Georges Town (or the Town of St. George), have been made a UNESCO World Heritage Site (the Historic Town of St George and Related Fortifications).</p><br>
<p>The Cheryokha  is a river in Ostrovsky, Porkhovsky, and Pskovsky Districts, and in the city of Pskov of Pskov Oblast in Russia. It is a right tributary of the Velikaya River and belongs to the basin of the Narva River. It is 145 km long, and the area of its basin 3,230 km&sup2;. The main tributary is the Keb River .</p><br>
<p>The source of the Cheryokha is Lake Chereshno, located in a swampy area southeast of the town of Ostrov. The river flows northwest, enters Porkhovsky District, and close to the border with Pskovsky District sharply turns west. On a short stretch it makes the border between Porkhovsky and Pskovsky Districts. In 8.7 km upstream from the mouth the Cheryokha accepts the Keb, its biggest tributary, from the right. The last stretch of Cheryokha constitutes the border between the city of Pskov (north) and Pskovsky District (south). The Cheryokha joins the Velikaya in the southern end of the city of Pskov.</p><br>
<p>The drainage basin of the Cheryokha includes the eastearn part of Ostrovsky District, the western part of Porkhovsky District, the southwestern part of Strugo-Krasnensky District, as well as the eastern part of Pskovsky District.</p><br>
<p>The last 2 km of the course of the river are listed in the State Water Register of Russia as navigable.</p><br>
<p>Pecks Lake is a small reservoir, fed by water from the adjacent Verde River, near Clarkdale in the USA state of Arizona. The name of the nearby Tuzigoot National Monument comes from an Apache word, Tuzigoot, meaning crooked water. The "crooked water" reference is to Pecks Lake, established in a cutoff meander of the river.</p><br>
<p>The shallow lake gets most of its water from the river through a tunnel on the northwest corner of the property, downstream from a large slag heap from the former copper smelter at Clarkdale. Overflow from the lake passes over a weir at the east end of the lake into Tavasci Marsh. The surrounding area includes the capped and re-vegetated tailings pond of the smelter, which processed ore from the United Verde copper mine at Jerome.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Pecks Lake was built to provide process water for the smelter and recreation for the smelter community. Until 2003, the Town of Clarkdale leased the lake and surrounding property from the Phelps Dodge Corporation and made it available to the public for fishing and other forms of recreation. However, after the lease expired, Phelps Dodge (later acquired by Freeport-McMoRan) closed the property to the public.</p><br>
<p>The lake is becoming eutrophic, choked with aquatic plants, including invasive water lilies and Eurasian milfoil. Peck&#39;s Lake supports populations of northern pike, yellow perch, smallmouth bass, and sunfish but no native fish species.</p><br>
<h2>Land-use debate</h2><br>
<p>In April 2010, Sustainable Clarkdale, an advocacy group, recommended that the Town of Clarkdale buy Pecks Lake and its surrounds from Freeport-McMoRan. The 977 acre parcel, also known as Verde Valley Ranch, could then become home, the group said, to a variety of projects related to energy production (particularly solar, biomass, and plasma gasification), recreation, water purification, and commercial development&mdash;all with as little negative environmental impact as possible. The project would be known as the Clarkdale Sustainability Park.</p><br>
<p>In November 2010, Freeport-McMoRan declined a Sustainability Park proposal by the Town of Clarkdale, suggesting that land uses on the parcel should be limited to recreation and habitat preservation consistent with those at Tuzigoot National Monument and Tavasci Marsh. Town officials said they would consider siting the Park elsewhere and that they hoped that Freeport-McMoRan would eventually agree to public ownership of Verde Valley Ranch and remediation of Pecks Lake.</p><br>
<p>Ballyhannon Castle is a medieval Irish castle dating back to the 15th century, located near the village of Quin in County Clare, on the west coast of Ireland. It is fully intact and in the Irish Governmental records it is registered as a National Monument and "Listed/Protected" structure, intended to protect its historic, architectural and aesthetic significance.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The castle of Ballyhannon, also known in later times as Castlefergus, most likely from its proximity to the River Fergus, is a towerhouse of atypical internal design within the context of the Co. Clare group of towerhouses. The castle stands in the townland of Castlefergus close to Latoon Creek, which itself feeds into the River Fergus. Ballyhannon townlands (both north and south) lie to the north east of the castle. The older spelling, Ballyhannan, is retained in these townland names. The townland name can be translated as OHannans or OHannons home. Although there are many substantial families of Hannon in Munster and Connaught, the name seldom appears in the annals of medieval Ireland.</p><br>
<p>The death in 1266 of Maelisa OHannen, prior of Roscommon, is one of the few such entries. In the census of 1659 the name was found in considerable numbers in the Barony of Bunratty. The prefix O, was dropped in the submergence of Gaelic Ireland and has not been resumed. Strictly speaking Hannon is the anglicised form of the Gaelic O hAnnáin, a name chiefly associated with Co. Limerick. It was common at the end of the sixteenth century in many parts of Connaught and Munster. The Hannons or Ó hAnnáin are a Dalcassian sept of noble Milesian ancestry whose members attained the status of knighthood, and whose patrimonial lands were in this area, south of Quin. Their name is still retained in the townlands of Ballyhannan north and Ballyhannan south. Although the Hannon name is remembered in the name of Ballyhannon Castle, their history is of an earlier period and no references to the family can be found in connection with the history of the castle itself.</p><br>
<p>The castle was built about 1490 by Hugh, and possibly Síoda, sons of Donnchadh MacNamara. This period was described by the noted antiquarian, T. J. Westropp, as the "Golden Age of castle-building in Thomond" because of the high standard of construction which had been achieved by the masons at this period. Although Ballyhannon Castle was the home of the MacNamaras for many centuries, there are some references to the OBriens, on whose lands it stood, in relation to its history. For example in the year 1560, a grant was made by Queen Elizabeth I (7 September 1533 – 24 March 1603) to Conor OBrien (c.1534 - 1581), Earl of Thomond, of Ballyhannon Castle, and several other castles, previously held by Donnell OBrien; "To hold in tail male, by service of one knights fee", meaning that the property would pass onto his male heirs, subject to military service to the Queen. In the lists of the castles of the county for the years 1570 and 1574 Ballyhannon Castle was owned by Covea Riogh MacNamara, son of Mahon. Some transcriptions of these lists record the castle as being owned by William Neylon. This was due to an error in aligning the columns during the transcription of the original manuscript lists.</p><br>
<p>A fireplace with the inscription "H.T.E. 1576" was recorded by Westropp & Twigge in the 1890s, as being in the castle. This was one of the earliest dated fireplaces in the county, though it cannot now be located within the castle. In 1586 Queen Elizabeth I issued a pardon to Hugh, son of Covea MacNamara, of Ballyhannon Castle for being in rebellion. He had to provide sureties for his future good behaviour and answer at the local courts as requested. In the 1626 rental of the 5th Earl of Thomond, Henry OBrien (c.1588 - 1639), Ballyhannon Castle was listed as being rented to one Robert Hawksworth, with one quarter of land for the sum of £4.00. It is likely that Hawksworth was one of the many English Protestant settlers brought into the county by the OBriens and settled on the OBrien properties in Thomond during this period. The settling of English Protestants on lands of the native Irish Catholics precipitated the 1641 rebellion and many records exist of the Irish despoiling the settlers and turning them out of their newly acquired lands and properties. The MacNamaras of Ballyhannon acted no differently from the other displaced Irish. John Smith of Latoon complained of his losses which, "amounted to £1,354, including his lease for life of Lattoon, and his outlay upon buildings and sea embankments." He complained that Oliver Delahoyde of Fomerla Castle in Tulla, "with fifty men came, on the night of 15 January 1642, and stripped him of part of his goods. The work of spoilation was subsequently completed by the MacNamaras of Ballyhannon" among others. Most of the Irish landowners who took part in this rebellion were later stripped of their possessions. Among those noted as having forfeited their property after the rebellion was Mahone MacNamara of Ballyhannon. His property was disposed of to Pierce Creagh (a Protestant settler) and to the Earl of Thomond, Barnabas OBrien (c.1590 - 1657), 6th Earl. After the rebellion, the Cromwellian campaign attempted to complete the subjugation of the native Irish, and many of their castles were dismantled by the Commonwealth forces to render them defenceless. Ballyhannon appears to have escaped this destruction and a sketch of the castle in 1675, which survives in the "Edenvale Survey", shows it to have been roofed and in good condition. The castle appears to be surrounded by a bawn wall with a gate and loophole windows at this time. With the assention to the English throne of the Catholic King James II (14 October 1633 – 16 September 1701) in 1685, the fate of the native Irish improved somewhat for a time. Ballyhannon Castle was one of the castles noted by Sir Daniel OBrien, Viscount Clare, as being suitable for the imprisonment of Protestant settlers who were now being dispossessed. A letter written in 1689 describing the events of the time is worth recording. "Take every one of them that are young (Seir or Mr.), and let the common sort lie in the prison, and the rest strictly guarded, or rather put into some strong castle that has a geate to be locked on the outside like Ballyhannon". Pierce Creagh who had received part of the MacNamara property at Ballyhannon after the rebellion was named as one of those to be imprisoned in the above letter from Sir Daniel OBrien. The castle is also mentioned in 1690 when Thomas Hickman, who seemed to be living in fear during another upsurge in the conflict, asked Sir Donough O&#39;Brien to collect some of his belongings from Ballyhannon Castle and to keep other possessions of his in a safe place, as he expected the castle was soon to be garrisoned.</p><br>
<p>The castle appears on Henry Pelham&#39;s "Grand Jury" map of 1787 under the names Ballyhannon and Castlefergus, which is the first time Castlefergus appears as the name of the castle. Hely Dutton, writing in 1808, records the castle as: "Fergus – inhabited and lately white-washed! ". There are also some references to the Blood family of Castlefergus, though these relate most likely to Castlefergus House which stood south west of the castle and is now demolished. Charlotte Blood, daughter of William Blood, who was murdered at his house at Applevale near Corofin, married her cousin Matthew Henry Blood, M.D. of Castlefergus in 1831. Westropp, writing in 1917 notes some curious traces of settlement in the fields at Castlefergus, most likely the remains of ringforts and other early Bronze Age habitation sites. Samuel Lewis, writing, in 1837, notes Castlefergus as: "The fine modern residence" of William Smith Blood Esq. He adds: "adjoining which are the remains of the ancient edifice", telling us that by this date the castle was uninhabited, probably for the first time in 350 years. By 1858 the castle was ivy-covered and described as: "a fine old green-mantled tower" on the grounds of Castlefergus House.</p><br>
<p>The American millionaire and oil heiress Elizabeth Phillips (of Phillips Petroleum) and her husband Henry D. Irwin, who chose to call it "Ballyhannan Castle", (using the older townland spelling), restored the building to its former glory in 1970. It is currently rented out to top-of-the-market tourists as an out-of-the-way destination. It was also home to rock stars and several American film stars during film making in the region.</p><br>
<p>Robert Twigge describes the castle in the early 1900s as follows: "The castle stands on a low rock, scarped to the west and had no outworks, (the bawn noted in 1675 having been removed by this time). The very perfect tower, measuring 336" x 24, is in excellent preservation, having been inhabited in the last century. The pointed south door is defended by a shot-hole on the left and a murder hole above. The stair mounts round the s.w. angle, and at the 14th step a long corridor with 2 lights in the w. wall is reached. At the n. end a spiral staircase of 72 steps leads to the top. At the 12th step from the corridor another passage through the n. wall is reached. 5 curved steps at the s. end of the w. corridor lead to a similar passage along the s. wall over the porch and lodge. There is a handsome trefoil headed window of 2 lights in the s.w. angle and a garderobe to the s.e. angle. Mounting the spiral stair still higher other corridors, over the lower ones, in the w. and s. sides, are reached. There are 4 main stories under the stone vault forming the roof. The basement story has very deep recesses under the corridor and the 2 on the n. side have a narrow chamfered screen between them. A fireplace bears the date 1576, but this was of course a later addition to the building".</p><br>
<p>Sunset Peak also known as Romesh Thong is a mountain massif with a peak elevation of 4,745 m, in Shopian district of Jammu and Kashmir. It is the highest peak of this massif, the other peak is Tatakooti Peak 4,725 m, Sunset Peak, as the name suggests lies in the west of The Vale of Kashmir as a whole. It is located 40 km west of Shopian town, 105 km southwest of Srinagar, the capital of Jammu and Kashmir.</p><br>
<h2>Mountaineering</h2><br>
<p>Early exploration of the Pirpanjal Range was carried by Thomas Montgomerie and Godwin Austen in 1856. The first ascent of the summit was made in 1901 by Dr Arthur Neve and Dr Ernest Neve, the British brothers who took the route via Yusmarg Konsar Nag and climbed the summit through north face.</p><br>
<p>The massif is accessed by 105 km by road from Srinagar. The Mughal Road passes through the base of this mountain which lies on the right side of the road.</p><br>
<p>Robert Lutz House, sometimes referred to as Lutz Mansion, is a home located at 1449 Knapp Street in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, United States. Situated at the corner of Knapp Street and South Park Avenue, it was the home of Robert Lutz, owner of Lutz Brothers Stone Quarry. The home was designed by architect William Waters and built by C.R. Meyer Construction Company using stone from the Lutz-owned quarry. Built in 1910 on 1.6 acres of land, the structure also served as the quarry master’s office, complete with separate entrance. The home is now owned by the Gafner Family Trust, Rebecca and Douglas Gafner II as co-trustees.</p><br>
<p>The house is adjacent to Lutzs quarry. A brick barn that matches the house is also on the property, designed by Waters associate Henry Auler and built in 1925 for Lutz&#39;s Belgian horses. Also surviving is a pigeon coop.</p><br>
<p>Birney Safety Streetcar No. 224 is a streetcar  in Fort Smith, Arkansas, listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1926 by the American Car Company, it is a type of streetcar known as a Birney "Safety Car". It was listed on the National Register in 1994</p><br>
<h2>Original use</h2><br>
<p>Introduced in 1915, the Birney Safety Car was a new standardized streetcar design that encompassed new safety features; it was also lighter in weight than earlier designs and more economical to operate. Its economies gave a "new lease on life" to many small-town streetcar systems.</p><br>
<p>No. 224 was built and purchased in 1926. The Fort Smith streetcar system used several Birney-type cars during the last several years of streetcar service, until the abandonment of the system by the Fort Smith Light & Traction Company on November 15, 1933. Car 224 was later used as a diner in Ashdown, Arkansas.</p><br>
<h2>Restoration and new use</h2><br>
<p>Birney car 224 is owned by the Fort Smith Streetcar Restoration Association (FSSRA) and is part of the Fort Smith Trolley Museum (FSTM) collection. Car 224 was restored by FSSRA volunteers and began carrying passengers on the museum&#39;s heritage streetcar line on May 19, 1991. It was added to the National Register exactly three years later, on May 19, 1994. The FSTM streetcar line, or trolley line the terms streetcar and trolley are used interchangeably in much of North America connects Garrison Avenue, in downtown, with the gates of the Fort Smith National Cemetery.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Like many streetcars, car 224 is a "double-ended" car – capable of being operated from either end. It has a single door on each side. The backs of its wooden-bench seats are reversible, allowing the seats to face either end of the car. This type of seat was also known as a "walkover" seat, as the motorman could walk down the cars center aisle at the end of the line and flip the backs of the seats over. The 600 Volts DC that powers the cars electric motor is collected from the overhead trolley wire via a trolley pole on the roof; only one of the two poles is in use at a time, depending on the direction of travel. The car has a single truck and, overall, is approximately 27 ft long.</p><br>
<p>Fort Smith car 224 is one of three Birney streetcars listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the others both being from the former Fort Collins, Colorado system: Fort Collins car 21, which operates on a heritage streetcar line in its home town, and Fort Collins car 22.</p><br>
<p>Tatakooti Peak or Tatakuti is a mountain with a peak elevation of 4,725 m, in Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir. The highest peak of this massif is Sunset Peak at 4,745 m. Tatakooti along with Sunset Peak lies in the west of The Vale of Kashmir. It is located 40 km west of poonch town, 105 km.in poonch it is in surankote tehsile</p><br>
<h2>Mountaineering</h2><br>
<p>Early exploration of the Pirpanjal Range was carried by Thomas Montgomerie and Godwin Austen in 1856. The first ascent of the summit was made in 1901 by C. E. Barton and Dr Ernest Neve, British mountaineers. They took the route via Yusmarg Konsar Nag and climbed the summit via the north face.</p><br>
<p>The massif is accessed by road, 105 km from Srinagar. The Mughal Road passes through the base of this mountain which lies on the right side of the road.</p><br>
<p>Lake Conine is a natural freshwater lake on the north side of Winter Haven, Florida. The lake is not within the city limits, but is almost entirely surrounded by the city of Winter Haven. Lake Conine is almost as often called Lake Connie as it is called Lake Conine. In fact, the Fishing Works website site has two listings calling this lake the former name and one calling it the latter. Lake Conine is bounded on the north and southwest by residential areas. On the west and southeast are woods. On the east the lake is bordered by SR 544 . Lake Conine has a 237 acre surface area and it is shaped somewhat like a teardrop.</p><br>
<p>For many years Lake Conine received wastewater effluent. A study commissioned by Polk County in 1994 found the high level of effluent resulted in nutrient recycling from lake bottom sediments. The county paid the company that performed the lake research to apply liquid aluminum sulfate to the lake&#39;s surface to inactivate the nutrient recycling process, thus repairing the damage the wastewater effluent had caused. The whole project was completed in 1996.</p><br>
<p>Lake Conine has no public swimming areas or public boat ramps. However, boaters may reach the lake from public ramps in other area lakes. This lake is connected into the Chain of Lakes. canal system, which links numerous area lakes. Lake Conine may be reached by canals from Lake Smart, Lake Rochelle and Lake Hartridge. Fishing is allowed and can be done by boat or shore. There is a large public right of way along SR 544. The Hook and Bullet website says the lake contains black drum, bigmouth buffalo and atlantic salmon.</p><br>
<p>The Chimneys is a historic house located in Fredericksburg, Virginia. The house was constructed around 1771-1773. The house is named because of the stone chimneys at each end. The Georgian home was added to the National Register of Historic Places in April 1975. Of note are the interior decorative woodwork in the moldings, millwork, paneling indicative of building styles of the period. The decorative carving on the mantelpiece as well as on the door and window frames is particularly significant.</p><br>
<h2>Design and construction</h2><br>
<p>The Chimneys floor plan has two rooms on each side of a central hall. Spaces between wall studs are nogged with brick in the interior and exterior walls. Fredericksburg was a major port city in the colonies in the mid- to late 18th century and The Chimneys hipped roof framing utilizes techniques common in the construction of ships&#39; hulls at the time. The roof is supported by three heavy king post trusses.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>It is uncertain who originally owned The Chimneys. John Glassell (1731-1806), a local merchant, is usually noted as the builder. Glassell came from Galloway, Scotland in the 1770s and purchased land in Fredericksburg from Charles Yates. Researchers at the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg suggest that the house was built by Yates prior to the purchase by Glassell.</p><br>
<p>During the American Revolution, John Glassell was a loyalist. He went to Scotland in 1775 and never returned. Ownership of The Chimneys passed to William Glassell to whom John Glassell had given power of attorney. An insurance policy written in 1792 showed William as the owner.</p><br>
<p>In the 1800s, the house was bought and sold many times. One famous resident was Ellen Lewis Herndon "Nell" Arthur (1837-1880), later the wife of USA President Chester A. Arthur, who lived at The Chimneys as a child. The house was purchased in 1966 by the president of the Historic Fredericksburg Foundation and, for a time, the house was rented for income. In 1975 the Foundation moved its museum and offices into The Chimneys.</p><br>
<p>After William Vakos purchased and renovated it in 1982, the building was sold to Robert Mitchell III in 1985. In 2000, ownership passed to Tommy Mitchell (no relation), the current owner. A succession restaurants have operated out of the property since its renovation.</p><br>
<h2>Renovation</h2><br>
<p>In 1982, the Historic Fredericksburg Foundation sold The Chimneys to William Vakos, who secured permission from Fredericksburgs Architectural Review Board and Zoning Board to create a restaurant in the building. During the renovation, the structures weatherboarding was repainted in the original colors and porches were added at the rear of the building as well as in the front of the building where a 2-story porch was built. A veranda overlooking an English garden was added. Plumbing, electrical systems, and heating were also replaced. Prior to reconstruction, all changes were approved by the Historic Fredericksburg Foundation</p><br>
<p>Mount Harrison, at 9,265 ft is a peak in the northern Albion Mountains of Cassia County in southern Idaho. Mount Harrison is located in north of Cache Peak, south of Burley, northeast of Oakley, and west of Malta in the Albion Division of the Minidoka Ranger District of Sawtooth National Forest. Mount Harrison is in the watershed of tributaries of the Snake River, which itself is a tributary of the Columbia River. The peak can be reached via a paved road that runs all the way to its summit.

<p>Gough and Inaccessible Islands is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the archipelago of Tristan da Cunha in the South Atlantic Ocean. It consists of Gough Island |}} and Inaccessible Island. |}}</p><br>
<p>The islands are uninhabited apart from the personnel of a weather station. They are Important Bird Areas and Alliance for Zero Extinction sites.</p><br>
<p>The spectacled petrel is believed to nest only on Inaccessible Island.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Gough Island was inscribed as a World Heritage Site in 1995.</p><br>
<p>In 2004 the site was extended. The marine zone of Gough Island was extended from 3 to 12 miles and Inaccessible Island was included with the surrounding marine zone extending out to 12 miles. The site was renamed Gough and Inaccessible Islands.</p><br>
<p>The selection criteria for the site do not include its geomorphic interest. However, there has been ongoing discussion of including Gough and Inaccessible Islands in a possible "serial trans-boundary nomination" for the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which would include other volcanic sites in the Atlantic.</p><br>

<p>The Scott Point Site, also known as 20MK22 or  as the Point Patterson Site, is an archaeological site located near the shore of Lake Michigan near Scott Point, south of Gould City, Michigan and west of Point Patterson. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Scott Point Site is located about 300 to 400 ft inland from a small sandy bay on the shore of Lake Michigan, in Section 8, Township 41 North, Range 11 West. much of which has been exposed by sand erosion.</p><br>
<p>The site was once a Late Woodland period village, with groupings of fire-damaged rocks indicating the locations of hearths. A nearby burial site, designated 20MK450, may have been associated with this village.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Scott Point Site was examined by archaeologist George Quimby multiple times in the early 1960s.</p><br>
<p>The Tivoli Hotel was built in 1926-27 as a 6-story, T-shaped brick building in Second Renaissance Revival architectural style. The hotel was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. In 2005, the structure was badly damaged during Hurricane Katrina and was subsequently demolished.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Tivoli Hotel contained 64 guest rooms in addition to its lobby, dining room, and ballroom. It was considered to be a luxury hotel for its time. During the 1930s, 40s, and 50s, gambling was an accepted form of tourism at hotels along the Mississippi Gulf Coast, and slot machines were available to guests in the Tivoli Hotel lobby.</p><br>
<p>In the 1950s, the structure was renovated and became the Trade Winds Hotel.</p><br>
<p>With competition from modern-day hotels along the Gulf Coast, the Trade Winds slumped into a state of disrepair in the 1970s and served as an apartment complex for transient guests. By the 1990s, the main hotel building was closed to the public. Although attempts were made by the owner to sell the property, potential developers were not willing to retain the original building in their redevelopment plans.</p><br>
<p>In 2003, the Mississippi Heritage Trust listed the Tivoli Hotel as one of the ten most endangered landmarks in Mississippi.</p><br>
<p>During August 2005, any plans for saving the Tivoli Hotel were lost when sustained winds of 120 mph (195 km/h) and a 27-foot (8.2 m) tidal surge from Hurricane Katrina pushed a casino barge into the southeast corner of the structure. During the months that followed, plans were formulated by cities, counties, and the State to recover from the hurricane’s devastation. As part of those recovery efforts, the Tivoli Hotel property was rezoned for waterfront gaming. In May 2006, the Tivoli Hotel was demolished.</p><br>
<p>The Kibara Mountains  are a range in the Katanga Province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.</p><br>
<p>They are partly within the Upemba National Park.</p><br>
<p>The Kibara mountains were once part of a continuous plateau in northern Katanga that also included the Mitumba and Kundelungu blocks, and has now been divided by deep valleys.</p><br>
<p>The Upemba depression lies to the west of the Kibara mountains.</p><br>
<p>The Lufira River separates them from the Mitumba Mountains to the east.</p><br>
<p>The Kibara mountains have an average elevation of 1,750 m above sea level and a highest elevation of 1,889 m.</p><br>
<p>Above 1,500 m the soil is generally poor, sandy and partly lateritized, and becomes very dry in the dry season.</p><br>
<p>Vegetation is low grassland or steppe. There are few trees or bushes.</p><br>
<p>The mountains have a NE-SW trend, and are folded and intruded.</p><br>
<p>They have been strongly uplifted.</p><br>
<p>The fragmented surface from the end of the Cretaceous at Lumbele occurs at an elevation of 1,890 m, above the Mid-Cenozoic pediplain at Mkana at an elevation of 1,800 m.</p><br>
<p>The mountains give their name to the Kibaran orogeny. In 1931 Robert studied the mountains and introduced the terms "Complexe des Kibara" and "Système des Kibara" to describe his theory of their origins, a mountain-building process that followed a geosyncline episode.</p><br>
<p>Lake Easy is a natural freshwater lake with a 407 acre surface area. The lake is somewhat oval in shape and sometimes has a small island in its southeast part, depending on the lake level at the time. Lake Easy is bounded on its north by the incorporated village of Highland Park, which is also a golf resort. On its west side is grassland and a residential development. To the southwest are a citrus orchard and pastureland. On the southeast is residential housing along Lake Easy Road. Along its east side is public land.</p><br>
<p>Lake Easy has no public swimming area. It does, however, have a public boat ramp on the east side. This ramp can be accessed by a sand road that appears by satellite image to come from Lake Easy Road or Underpass Road. A 2008 news story in The Ledger newspaper said the ramp is on Muncie Road, which does not appear on maps. This lake may be fished near the boat ramp or by boats on the lake. The Hook and Bullet website says the lake contains black drum, bigmouth buffalo and atlantic salmon.</p><br>
<p>Luxton Lake is a lake in Annapolis County, Nova Scotia, Canada, within Kejimkujik National Park and is the site of an abandoned sawmill and former hiking trail.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The lake is drained by Luxton Brook which flows northeast from the lake into West River. Luxton Lake contains two small islands. The lake is inside Kejimkujik National Park&#39;s Designated Wilderness Area, the most protected habitat of the park.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The lake is named after the Luxton family who operated a sawmill on the south shore of the lake until Kejimkujik National Park was created in 1969. The Luxtons moved their mill to Northfield, Queens County at Mill Lake, which also became known locally for a time as Luxton Lake. Sawdust piles and slowly decaying ruins remain in the Park at the old mill site on Luxton Lake.</p><br>
<h2>Former Hiking Trail</h2><br>
<p>Luxton Lake used to be accessible via the 4 kilometre Luxton Lake trail which followed the old saw mill road from Poison Ivy Falls passing Ben Lake. The trail included a back country campsite (No. 39) on Luxton Lake beside the ruins of the sawmill. However the trail was closed after 2010.</p><br>

Major part of Morel river flows in District Dausa and Sawai Madhopur of state Rajasthan. Dausa, Lawan and Lalsot tehsils are the tehsil areas of Dausa District which contribute as major part of its water catchment area and flow route. Major villages such as Kaluwas, Mohammedpura, Bilka, Ranoli etc. are situated on the bank of this river. Civilization of these villages is very old and this great river was called as life line of these civilizations. The village Kaluwas was situated earlier on the bank of this river but after heavy flood, the village was shifted about one KM away in the wise leadership of Birdi Chand Bohra, Pratap Bohra and Ganesh Bohra .</p><br>
<p>Lac La Loche is a lake in north west Saskatchewan near the Alberta border. The lake is part of the Churchill River system that flows into the Hudson Bay. The La Loche River at the southern end flows into Peter Pond Lake which is connected to Churchill Lake.</p><br>
<p>Settlements on the lake include La Loche and Clearwater River (CRDN) on the eastern shore and Black Point on the southern shore. The estimated population of the three settlements in 2012 was 3500 people.</p><br>
<p>The 19 kilometre Methye Portage or Portage La Loche at the northern end of the lake leads to the Clearwater River. The Portage a National Historic Site is also part of the Clearwater River Provincial Park.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Fur trade posts were built on Lac La Loche soon after Peter Pond came through the Methye Portage in 1778. An early indication of settlement comes from George Back who in 1822 noted in his journal: "We touched at the houses on the borders of the lake and embarked a man in each canoe".</p><br>
<p>John Franklin&#39;s Coppermine expedition map of 1819-1820 shows Lac La Loche as Methye Lake and the La Loche River as the Methye River. Both names for the lake and the river were in use at this time. George Back who accompanied Franklin used Lac La Loche, La Loche River and Lac La Loche House (the Hudson Bay Post) in his journal. Alexander Mackenzie in "Voyages from Montreal" used both Portage la Loche and Mithy-Ouinigam Portage (in 1789-1793).</p><br>
<h2>Fish Species</h2><br>
<p>The lake&#39;s fish species include: walleye, sauger, yellow perch, northern pike, lake trout, lake whitefish, cisco, white sucker, longnose sucker and burbot.</p><br>
<p>Vicksburg was a town and mining camp in Chaffee County, Colorado , high in Clear Creek Canyon. It is now effectively a ghost town, although some of the buildings may be seasonally occupied by their owners. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977 ; a part of the town is maintained by the Chaffee County Historical Society as a museum. Four miles farther up the same road on which Vicksburg is located is another old mining camp named Winfield.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Vicksburg was founded in 1867 after prospectors from Leadville, Colorado camping out in the Clear Creek Canyon lost their burros. The burros had wandered down the creek and when the miners found their pack animals, they discovered gold in the creek bed as well. In its heyday, Vicksburg had a post office, school, blacksmith, two hotels, two billiard halls, several saloons, a general store, an assay office, and a livery stable. Early miners packed in Balm of Gilead (balsam poplar) trees on the backs of burros and planted them to line the street. The trees still stand today and are watered by ditches leading from Vicksburg Creek into the town. The ditches were dug on either side of the street to provide a water system; wooden boxes were built in the ditches to keep food cold and provide water to fight fires.</p><br>

<p>Odderøya is an island in Kristiansand municipality in Vest-Agder county, Norway. The 0.7 km&sup2; lies immediately to the south of the city centre of Kristiansand and it is connected to the mainland by four bridges. The island creates a natural division between the eastern and western parts of the port of Kristiansand. The Gravanekanalen canal separates Odderøya from the city center and Fiskebrygga . Prior to 1993, the island was owned by the Norwegian government and it was used as a naval base and training grounds, but since that time, the municipality of Kristiansand has taken over and is now using it for recreational purposes. The island is mostly undeveloped, but the town development plan does include an area on the island for up to 500 homes.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>There are signs of ancient human activity on Odderøya. At Bendiksbukta, a dagger, an ax, and other tools of flint dating back to the stone age (Around the year 1000 BC) have been found. On Odderøya, there are many interesting traces of military activity. Key tracks from the battle of 9 April 1940 (Operation Weserübung) are partially visible. There has been military activity on Odderøya from 1667 until 1999, when the fortress was phased out. The quarantine station or lazaretto at Odderøya was the largest in Northern Europe and was in operation from 1804 to 1914. In 1804, it was a quarantine station for all of Denmark-Norway and Holstein. The quarantine station was for ships where plague (disease) had spread aboard the ship. In connection with quarantine operations, the island also began to need its own cemetery, nicknamed the Cholera Cemetery. It is located at Kjerregårdsbukta. The quarantine station was separated from the rest of the island with a high wall that runs from the height of the hospital ("Lazaretto height") to Bendiksbukta. It was built in the years 1800 to 1807 and is under restoration.</p><br>
<p>At times, Odderøya has been closed to the public due to military activity. There are a large number of former gun emplacements around the island from varying periods of time for cannons, machine guns, and mortars. Most recently, the island was closed to the public from 1940 until 23 June 1992, after the Odderøya Fort was closed. Since the municipality took over the island, it has been a popular excursion and hiking area.</p><br>
<h3>World War II</h3><br>
<p>At 9 April 1940, eight Norwegian soldiers lost their lives in the battle against German aircraft and warships during the invasion of Norway in Operation Weserübung at Odderøya Fortress. The fortress returned the cannon fire from the German warships and attacks by Luftwaffe bombers. The attack against Kristiansand and Arendal consisted of the light cruiser Karlsruhe, three torpedo boats, and seven smaller vessels, one mothership, and around 1,000 soldiers. Three times between 5:00 and 7:00 in the morning, the German forces tried to penetrate and to put troops ashore, but whenever they chose to turn because of shelling from Odderøya. One of the grenades from Karlsruhe missed the fortress. By accident this grenade hit the upper part of Kristiansand Cathedrals church tower. In addition to the grenade hits at the fortress, a bombshell led to an explosion at the ammunition depot. At ten oclock in the morning, the commander at the cruiser decided to break through whatever the resistance would be. Meanwhile, defenders at Odderøya got a confusing message about not firing on British or French warships. When the German force attacked again, one of the signal flags was confused with a French flag, and therefore the fire from the fortress was withheld. When the force was landed, it met no resistance, and the Norwegian commander surrendered the fortress. One of the anchors of the German merchant ship MS Seattle (1928) is exhibited by the Western battery of the fortress. During the battle the ship came under crossfire, was shot in fire and sank.</p><br>
<p>The coordinated invasion of several cities started the former neutral Norway&#39;s participation in World War II on the Allied side.</p><br>
<p>There is a memorial of the fallen soldiers at the abandoned fort on top of the island.</p><br>
<p>In the later years of the war, many of the cannons were taken out of their positions and placed at other locations further out to the open sea (Skagerrak). German military forces held the fort until the capitulation in 1945.</p><br>
<h3>Post-war</h3><br>
<p>In much of the post-war period, the fort on Odderøya served as a base and boot camp for the Norwegian Coastal Artillery. There is now a dedicated conservation plan for the many important objects of culture historical interest on the island.</p><br>
<p>Following the takeover of the municipality of Kristiansand,</p><br>
<h2>East side of Odderøya</h2><br>
<p>On the island&#39;s east side was an important port and cargo space even before the settlements in the area had been named Kristiansand and was founded as a city. The site was suitable for loading lumber that could be floated on the river Torridalselva (Otra) and then loaded aboard a vessel for further transportation. The Quarantine Wall, the wall that had been built to separate the local population from patients who were affected by diseases is still visible and has been restored. On the east side, there are rocks and beaches suitable for swimming spots, including “the cholera beach” and Bendiksbukta.</p><br>
<h2>Silokaia and Kilden Performing Arts Centre on the west side</h2><br>
<p>On the west side, there are a quay harbor, warehouses, a grain and cement silo, and cleaning and tank farms. The port facilities, that in the summer are used mostly as a port for cruise ships, are part of the Kristiansand harbor. Grain Silo on pier 13 is designed by Sverre Aasland and Arne Korsmo for Christiansands Mills and is characterized as an "outstanding, independent and architectural work completed," and was awarded funds Houen diploma in 1939. The new Kilden Performing Arts Centre is built next door and was opened in 2012. Beside the parking garage behind Kilden, a staircase leads further up the island. The overdue grain silo has been decided to be rebuilt after an architectural competition, to contain a large art collection. The quayside is under construction to be transformed into a residential area.</p><br>
<p>South of the harbor area is the steepest part of Odderøya. There is a strolling route down to the Odderøya Lighthouse from the western battery. The city&#39;s sewage treatment plant is located in a tunnel into the rock near the lighthouse. There is also a staircase up and down from the lighthouse to the southern part of Odderøya. Strolling around these stairs is at your own risk, due to danger of rock fall.</p><br>
<h2>Voluntary work and local conservation debate</h2><br>
<p>After the island was abandoned as a military area, it has to some extent been a local debate about the use of the island in the future. There has been general agreement that the island&#39;s main older cultural heritage must be preserved. However, there has been a vigorous debate about the construction of roads, apartment buildings and commercial buildings, especially on the western side of the island. The city council has debated how many of the buildings from the former fort should be preserved, as well as what can be demolished and replaced with more modern and beneficial buildings. There are plans to refurbish, restore, and reopen the bunker underneath the gun emplacements containing the former command post on top of the island as a museum.</p><br>
<p>Many of the citizens have become involved in voluntary conservation work. Odderøyas Venner is a voluntary association which organizes volunteer work and operates the cafè at the former watchman&#39;s residence on the southern tip of the island, offering refreshments on Sundays all year long from 11 am until 4 pm. In a former gunpowder house next to the cafe, there is a small museum exhibit illustrating the naval battle of Kristiansand on 9 April 1940.</p><br>
<h2>Culture and tourism</h2><br>
<p>Odderøya is trying to establish itself as a regional cultural center. After the military activities were moved out, artists, galleries and filmmakers were established in the old barracks. Graphical printing on Odderøya is produced by renowned contemporary artists. The press in use was imported from Paris, and has been used by, among others, Pablo Picasso and Edvard Munch. In the marina Nodevika, a maritime museum with a museums marina are to be completed in 2015.</p><br>
<p>Many viewpoints offer a wonderful view over the bay and the entrance to the city. There are roe deer on the island, and a pond named Salamander Pond; there is also other wildlife. Near the island&#39;s highest point (92 m above sea level), there is al also a former bear den (last inhabited by bears in the 1700s). From the top of the island, there are outstanding views of the Kristiansandsfjorden, islands like Dvergsøya and Flekkerøy and the lighthouses Oksøy and Grønningen. Odderøya offers opportunities for recreation, walking in the woods, swimming and fishing from the rocks, despite the proximity to the city. Some roads on the island are also accessible by wheelchair.</p><br>
<h3>Concert venue</h3><br>
<p>Parts of the Quart festival in 1992–2009 added Odderøya. Later, Odderøya has also been used as locations for live concerts. There have been concerts in Bendiksbukta, on the lawn, Odden, a rebuilt sports ground, and at a club in Odderøyhallen. In 2007, the sports ground was rebuilt with a new concert venue with an outdoor amphitheater, Odderøya Amphi, that has an audience capacity of 22,000.</p><br>
<h3>On stage on Odderøya</h3><br>
<p>Many different kinds of bands and musicians have given outdoors live concerts on Odderøya over the years, including David Bowie, Bryan Adams, Nick Cave, Alice Cooper, Ozzy Osbourne, John Fogerty, Bob Dylan, Sting, Kanye West, No Doubt, Foo Fighters, Aerosmith, Daft Punk, Björk, Alicia Keys, Black Eyed Peas, Damian Marley, Backstreet Boys, Pink, Slash, Oasis, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, Ron Wood, The Who, Muse and Coldplay.</p><br>

<p>Witherspoon Building is a historic office building located in the Market East neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was designed by architect Joseph M. Huston  and built between 1895 and 1897. It was built for the Presbyterian Board of Publications and Sabbath School Work. It is an 11-story, steel frame "E"-shaped building, faced with brick and granite. It has terra cotta decorative elements. Its exterior features Corinthian order and Ionic order columns, statues, medallions, seals of various boards and agencies of the Presbyterian Church and of related Reformed churches. It is named for John Witherspoon , founder of Princeton University.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<h2>Sculpture</h2><br>
<p>Several statues and some of the medallions were designed by sculptor Alexander Stirling Calder (1870–1945), including statues of six historically prominent Presbyterians, Francis Makemie, John Witherspoon, John McMillan, Samuel Davies, James Caldwell and Marcus Whitman. These sculptures were removed in 1961 and later moved to the courtyard of the Presbyterian Historical Society in Philadelphia.</p><br>
<p>Mount Okukane is a mountain located between the towns of Tateyama and Kurobe in Toyama Prefecture, Japan. The mountain has an elevation of 1,543 m. Mount Okukane rises dramatically between the Kurobe Gorge and the Haba Valley to form, at 600 m, one of the foremost sheer rock faces in Japan. The mountain is primarily composed of granite and is part of the Hida Mountains, also known as the Northern Japan Alps. Mount Okukane, together with the Kurobe and Sarutobi gorges, were designated a Special Natural Monument and Special Place of Scenic Beauty in 1964.</p><br>
<h2>Etymology</h2><br>
<p>The name of Mount Okukane in the Japanese language is formed from two kanji:, meaning "behind" or "rear" and, meaning "bell" or "chime". The name of the mountain is an abbreviation for 奥鐘釣, a reference to Mount Okukane being the farthest to the rear of the many mountains called Kanetsuri. The mountain appears in maps beginning in the Edo period (1603 &ndash; 1868), the earliest being in 1648.</p><br>
<h2>Recreation</h2><br>
<p>The sheer face of Mount Okukane has become a popular destination for rock climbers.</p><br>
<h2>Transportation</h2><br>
<p>Mount Okukane is accessible from the Kurobe Gorge Railway. The railway was originally built for the construction of the Kurobe Dam, but is now used for tourism in the Kurobe Gorge area. The railway begins at Unazuki Station, a ten-minute walk from the Main Line Unazukionsen Station. The Okukane Bridge is directly adjacent to Keyakidaira Station, the terminus of the railroad.</p><br>

<p>Rafsnyder-Welsh House is a historic home located in the Rittenhouse Square East neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The original house was built about 1855, as a typical brick Philadelphia rowhouse consisting of a front building, piazza, and back building. It was extensively remodeled and enlarged to its present form in 1893-1894. As presently formed, it consists of a four-story front building, approximately 34 feet wide and 36 feet deep, connected to a four-story back building, by a four story section. Attached to the back building is a three-story, brick wing and two-story wing. A four-story fire tower was added in 1922. It has an eclectic front facade of Pompeiian brick with sandstone and terra cotta trim.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>Hockley Row &ndash; also known as Evans Row or Victoria House &ndash; is a set of three historic rowhouses located in the Rittenhouse Square West neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. Design is attributed to architect Allen Evans, of the firm Furness & Evans. They were built in 1884 as a speculative row for the architect&#39;s father. Each house features of a rusticated stone basement level, with three brick stories above. The corner house at 21st & St. James Streets features a two-story, shingled conical tower. Other features include projecting bay and box windows, wrought iron railings, elaborately shaped chimneys, and shed- and gabled-roofed dormers. The corner house at 21st & Locust Streets  has the address 2049 Locust Street.</p><br>
<p>The houses were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>Ringgold Place is a set of 26 historic rowhouses located in the Rittenhouse Square West neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They were built about 1862, and their scale reflects the material shortages during the American Civil War. The three-story brick residences measure 14 feet by 20 feet, with spartan facades and interiors, over a raised basement. The properties were acquired in 1925, by noted Philadelphia architect George Howe . His office was located at 1900 Ringgold Place and he owned the houses until 1934. He or Tilden, Register & Pepper, a firm he employed, modernized the dwellings and introduced some decorative elements to the 19th Street facades.</p><br>
<p>The houses were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>Horace Jayne House  is an architecturally significant building designed by architect Frank Furness in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is located at the southwest corner of 19th and Delancey Streets, about a block south of Rittenhouse Square.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built as the residence and office of Dr. Horace Jayne (1859&ndash;1913) and his wife Caroline Furness Jayne (1873&ndash;1909), and was completed in 1895.</p><br>
<p>The city house was acquired by department-store heir Jacob Lit of Lit Brothers about 1928, who probably added the radiator covers of frolicking greyhounds by sculptor William Hunt Diederich. It was converted into a synagogue in the 1940s, and served as headquarters for the Heart Association of Southeastern Pennsylvania from the 1950s to the 1980s. The building was renovated in the late 1980s into the law offices of Anapol, Schwartz, Weiss & Schwartz. It was sold in 2007, and underwent a 2-year restoration by John Milner, Architects. It is now, again, a single-family residence.</p><br>
<p>Many of Furness&#39;s grandest Philadelphia houses of the 1880s and 1890s were built near or fronting on Rittenhouse Square. These included the William W. Frazier house (1881-82, demolished), at the southwest corner of 18th & Rittenhouse Square Streets; the George B. Preston house (1881-83, demolished), at the northeast corner of 22nd & Walnut Streets; the Thomas A. Scott house (1887-88, demolished), at the southeast corner of 19th & Rittenhouse Square Streets; the Alexander J. Cassatt house (1888, demolished), at 202 South 19th Street (Rittenhouse Square West); and the Thomas A. Reilly house (1891-92), at 1804 Rittenhouse Square Street. Of these, only the Reilly house and the Jayne house survive.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The eclectic buildings design is highly unusual, and its volumes are articulated on the exterior. The facade is divided into two halves; a 3-1/2 story southern section that contained Dr. Jaynes offices &ndash; a ground-floor waiting room and an examination room above &ndash; and a 2-1/2 story northern section that contained the high-ceilinged formal rooms. The floor levels coincide on the upper stories. The main entrance is off-center in a slightly projected section, with an oval window and a bracket-supported balcony above. The Colonial Revival-detailed exterior is composed of red English sandstone and brick, and features terra cotta reliefs by sculptor Karl Bitter on the east, north and west façades and the pedimented dormers. Bitter also modeled the reliefs for Furness & Evans&#39;s contemporaneous Broad Street Station (1893-94).</p><br>
<p>The interior is even more remarkable. Its 2-story hall features a grand staircase at the south end that wraps around the fireplace, a hanging balcony suspended by iron rods on the other three sides, and an intricate leaded glass skylight. A favorite visual pun of Furnesss was to place a window over a fireplace, splitting the flues into the walls flanking it&mdash;as he did at Jefferson Medical College (1875-77) and the parish hall of First Unitarian Church of Philadelphia (1883-86). With the Jayne houses hall he took his punning to an extreme, placing a curved balcony and horseshoe-shaped seating area over the fireplace (accessed from the staircase behind), and splitting the flues into piers that merged above into a tall arch.</p><br>
<p>The Horace Jayne House was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>Philadelphia School of Occupational Therapy, also known as the Medical Services Building, is a historic school building located in the Rittenhouse Square West neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is a three-story, five-bay, "U"-shaped brown brick building in the Art Deco style. It was built in 1930 as a two-story building; a third story was added in 1939. The front facade features sculptural iron panels, sandstone carvings, and two-story brick pilasters with decorative caps. The Philadelphia School of Occupational Therapy occupied the building into the late-1950s, after which it housed medical offices associated with the University of Pennsylvania. It has been converted to apartments.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>

<p>The Hotel Baxter, popularly called the Baxter or Baxter Hotel, is a seven-story hotel built in 1929 in the Main Street historic district of Bozeman, Montana. Designed in Art Deco style by architect Fred F. Willson, it opened for business on March 2, 1929. The grand opening party was held Saturday, March 16, 1929. The hotel is named after George Baxter, a prominent Gallatin County rancher who provided much of the funding. It originally contained 76 rooms, two bars, and restaurant facilities. An ornate lobby on the main floor includes a small water fountain. The mezzanine level features a large ballroom. Its upper floors today contain about 20 condominium-style residences, mostly one and two-bedroom apartments. Ted&#39;s Montana Grill and the Bacchus Pub are on the ground floor.</p><br>
<h2>Renovations</h2><br>
<p>In the 1970s, an initial round of renovations to the first floor upgraded the historic Bacchus Pub and added a fine dining Italian-style restaurant. In 1982, a new owner renovated the entire hotel and converted the upper floors to residential condominiums. After some years of decline and a series of owners, in 2004, David Loseff, a private equity investor and part-time Bozeman resident of 14 years, obtained a majority share in the building from a previous owner who had obtained the building in 1999. Loseff took over management and began a new round of renovations to the hotel. He initially brought in live music, upgraded the Robin Lounge (now the bar of Teds), and operated a casual restaurant while locating new tenants to run the restaurant and the Bacchus Pub. Ultimately, Ted’s Montana Grill, owned by media mogul Ted Turner, opened in June 2008. To accommodate the new venture, the old restaurant space as well as the former Robin Lounge were remodeled and reconfigured, so that Teds now encompasses 4,800 ft&sup2;. The Bacchus Pub, an institution throughout the history of the hotel, had been closed for almost four years, but was renovated and reopened under its current management in December 2008.</p><br>
<h2>The Bacchus Pub</h2><br>
<p>The Bacchus Pub, designed with a medieval European decor, features unique carved, painted heads of monks that line the walls and center beam of the ceiling, as well as stained glass originally designed for the business. It operated continuously under a series of changing owners and themes for 30 years. The facility was closed from 2005 until 2008, when the current owners agreed to operate under its traditional name and concept. The space had mostly been a pub that served food and beverages, but had also been operated as a Mexican restaurant and a small Italian grille in intervening years. The new owners of the Baxter building turned down offers for various themes and held out for a tenant who was willing to restore the original pub design and atmosphere. After the business reopened, a brief legal squabble ensued over the legal ownership of the "Bacchus Pub" name, which had been purchased by another local restaurant owner, but a settlement was soon reached, allowing the pub to operate under its original name at its original location.</p><br>
<h2>Unique features</h2><br>
<p>Unique features of the Baxter building include a 32-foot high by 45-foot wide electric "Hotel Baxter" sign on the roof. Erected when the building was completed in 1929, it was intended to be seen from the top of mountain passes up to 70 miles away to "serve as a beacon for travelers." The red neon sign was nonfunctional for about 40 years, but was refurbished, repaired, and officially re-lit on January 10, 2013, in a ceremony, where USA Senator and part-time Bozeman resident Max Baucus called it "A crown jewel of Bozeman." However, a researcher at Montana State University has raised concerns about light pollution, generating some local controversy. The roof of the building also features a flashing blue light, which is turned on throughout the winter to alert local skiers when new snow is falling at the Bridger Bowl Ski Area. First installed in 1988, it is activated each time Bridger Bowl accumulates two inches of fresh snow, and remains on for 24 hours thereafter. Local skiers depend upon the beacon because the ski area can have a great deal of fresh powder snow, dubbed "cold smoke" by the locals, even when it is not snowing in Bozeman. For this reason, maintenance of the light is a priority for skiers and only once in 20 years was it out of operation for two days.</p><br>
