<p>The Platthorn is a mountain of the Swiss Pennine Alps, located south of Grächen in the canton of Valais. It lies north of the Färichhorn and the Balfrin, on the range between the Mattertal and the Saastal.</p><br>
<h2>Access roads and normal climbing route</h2><br>
<p>The access is from Zermatt. The town is closed for car traffic so you will have to use train.</p><br>
<p>There are two possible routes from Zermatt. The first is from the train station up the slopes of Wisshorn and then around it at an altitude of 2700 meters. The second is from the center of Zermatt, along the valley of Triftbach. You will pass Trift Alp hotel far above Zermatt. It is at the altitude around 2340 m. From there, continue in the north direction along pleasant meadows and at the altitude of around 2730 meters, you will see the former route on your right side. So from this point, the two routes merge and you are on your second part toward the summit.</p><br>
<p>This is a simple walk up in the summer time, no special equipment is required. See more in the links below.</p><br>
<p>The J.C. Palumbo Fruit Company Packing and Warehouse Building is a historic packing house in Payette, Idaho that was built in 1928. It was designed by architects Tourtellotte & Hummel.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>It is supposedly a 12 ft by 74 ft structure.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant as one of few non-retail and non-office commercial structures designed by Tourtelotte & Hummel and covered in a 1982 group nomination of properties to the National Register. It was asserted that "its monolithic brick surface may be seen in heralding the end, in the work of this firm, of a habit of dressing up such buildings in the materials one would expect to find in an office block." The building "expresses an interest in beautification by use of a brick veneer which is not, strictly speaking, necessary. At the same time, physical function is</p><br>
<p>clearly expressed, through fenestration or its lack, by loading docks and by the trackside location. While its sleekness may be seen as precursor of a functionalist aesthetic, it seems also to mark the beginning of the end of this sort of expression in this sort of building. Plain cast concrete became the material of choice, and none of the warehouse and shop buildings designed in later years" by the firm has been deemed noteworthy enough for inclusion in the 1982 group nomination.</p><br>
<p>The Brooks County Courthouse in Quitman, Georgia is the historic county courthouse of Brooks County, Georgia. The building is an example of Renaissance Revival and Romanesque Revival architecture. It underwent extensive renovations in 1892. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Brooks County Courthouse was built from 1859–64; it was designed by architect John Wind. Because of shortages of material and labor, the courthouse was one of only two courthouses in Georgia built during the Civil War; the other is the Banks County Courthouse in Homer. Because of the war, plans for the courthouse were substantially scaled back; a proposed parapet, cupola, roof balustrade, ornate courtroom columns, and porticos on the ends of the building were never built. The original courthouse resembles another Wind courthouse, the Thomas County Courthouse at Thomasville (1858), as well as Elam Alexander&#39;s Bibb County Courthouse (1829) in Macon; all three courthouses are in a brick vernacular style. The county paid for the building with $14,985 in Confederate money, which soon became worthless.</p><br>
<p>The building was remodeled in 1892, with Bruce & Morgan as architects, one of sixteen Georgia courthouses designed by the firm between 1882 and 1898. The remodeled courthouse is Italian Renaissance Revival, with elements of Richardsonian Romanesque in the massive twin arches at the main entrance and Queen Anne style in the fenestration.</p><br>
<p>Greenwood Plantation is a plantation in the Red Hills Region of southern Georgia, just west of Thomasville. Its Greek Revival main house was built in 1838 and expanded in 1899.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The original Greek Revival mansion on the property was designed by British architect John Wind and built about 1838 for Thomas and Lavinia Jones. The house was completed in 1844, and the Jones family occupied the plantation until it was sold in 1889 to S.R. Van Duzer of New York. Van Duzer later sold the home Col. Oliver Hazard Payne, who bequeathed the home in 1916 to his nephew, the millionaire and horse racing enthusiast Payne Whitney. After Payne&#39;s death, Greenwood was inherited in 1944 by his son Jock Whitney, who was responsible for arranging the financing for the movie version of Gone with the Wind, which premiered in Atlanta in December 1939, with Jock Whitney in attendance. The plantation reportedly served as "a model of southern elegance for the movie."</p><br>
<p>In 1899, Payne engaged noted architect Stanford White of the firm McKim, Mead & White to add two small, symmetric side wings and additional living and kitchen space in the rear of the main house.</p><br>
<p>In 1942, Jock married Betsey Cushing, former wife of James Roosevelt. The Whitneys, who also owned a number of other homes in New York and England, regularly visited Greenwood as their winter home, often bringing their thoroughbred race horses with them. Jock served as the American ambassador to the Court of St. James&#39;s from 1957 to 1961 under President Dwight Eisenhower, who while a visitor at Greenwood enjoyed quail and turkey hunting. Many other famous friends of the Whitneys stayed at Greenwood over the years, including the Duke and Duchess of Windsor and Fred Astaire.</p><br>
<p>In February 1964, shortly after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, his widow Jackie spent several weeks at the plantation as a guest of the Whitneys, who provided her a much-needed refuge from media attention. Mrs. Kennedys visit again in 1967 provided some fodder for the tabloids of the day as Lord Harlech, the ambassador to the US from the Court of St. Jamess, was also a guest during her stay. The main house was renovated and restored in 1965, and redecorated by society decorator Sister Parish in 1993; but just when the redecoration had been completed, a fire broke out, gutting the interior but leaving the external walls intact. Jock died in 1982, and his widow in 1998; upon her death, she left the plantation to the family&#39;s Greentree Foundation, who maintained the property according to a conservation plan created by her and expert consultants. In 2013, the foundation offered the plantation for sale.</p><br>
<p>The plantation includes 5,200 acres of forest used for quail hunting with 1,000 acres of old-growth longleaf pines, some up to 500 years old.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places in 1976. The property then included 1400 acres, nine contributing buildings, and four other contributing structures.</p><br>
<p>The Augustine Hansell House, also known as Jeffries House, is a historic home of exceptional quality in Thomasville, Georgia. It was designed by architect John Wind, the leading architect of Thomas County, in Greek Revival style. A -story cottage, it was built during 1852–53 for Augustine Hansell. Hansell, who later  was mayor of Thomasville, was a judge of the Superior Court of the Southern Judicial Circuit. He also organized the Thomas Reserves and was commander of a militia company of Thomas County. He was a lieutenant in the Thomas Reserves.</p><br>
<p>The American Civil War did not bring fighting to Thomas County, with the closest battle being the Battle of Natural Bridge in Natural Bridge, Florida, 56 mi away from Thomasville.</p><br>
<p>The house is a -story wood-frame cottage, with the main house having four rooms in a center-hall plan. It has an overhanging portico supported by six square columns. It has two small windows centered in the gable front.</p><br>
<p>Its interior is little-altered from the original and has Greek Revival details in its doorways, stairway, and four fireplaces with carved mantels.</p><br>
<p>The addition of wings for a kitchen and a bedroom in 1927 did not detract from the architectural character of the house.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.</p><br>
<p>Up to 1969 the house had remained in the same family and was then owned by a granddaughter of Augustine Hansell. It has been described as one of the "three best cottages" in Thomasville.</p><br>
<p>Mount Ina Coolbrith  is a mountain of the Sierra Nevada, near the Nevada border in Sierra County, Northern California.</p><br>
<h2>Name</h2><br>
<p>The mountain is visible from Beckwourth Pass through which Ina Coolbrith traveled, at the age of 11, with a party led by James Beckwourth. She would later claim to have been the first white child brought into California. The mountain was officially renamed in 1932 by the United States Geographic Board with the support of the California State Legislature and the Western Pacific Railroad.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The summit is 5.8 mi west of Highway 395 in the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest. Most of the mountain, including its summit, is in Sierra County, California. However, the lower northern flanks extend into Plumas County and Lassen County.</p><br>
<p>The eastern portal of the Chilcoot Tunnel, near Beckworth pass, is 6.5 mi to the north northeast.</p><br>
<p>Mount Malaueg was known to be the most historic mountain of Malaueg. The mountain was also known the Gigantic Plateau of Malaueg since its only location was a plateau and the place was said to be the treasure keeping of the Spaniards dating four centuries ago. The name of the mountain was derived from their dialect which means "Bad Brook" and the peak of the mountain was said to be the bridge between Poblacion and Capacuan, Rizal, Cagayan.</p><br>
<h2>Overview of the area</h2><br>
<p>The plateau is located at the southern to western part of the towns center. It has a total length of almost 3 kilometers from the opposite of Mount. Maoanan adjacent to Mount. Annaguan. It has the highest recorded peak of 1092.9 meters and the lowest elevation is 530 meters. Lying on the foot of the mountain is the flowing Matalag River yet the only way to get on the mountain is to cross the certain river or go directly to the barangay of Maoanan yet its connected with the foot of Mount. Maoanan.</p><br>
<h2>Name</h2><br>
<p>The name of the mountain was named by the people of the certain town many centuries later. It was also said that the mountain was where the fairy in the legend of Biuag and Malana stood still and it was also said it was the nature sanctuary that is about to be developed.</p><br>
<p>Saffold Dam at the Flores Crossing is a dam and man-made waterfall in the city of Seguin, Texas. Named for William Saffold, a Civil War veteran, a major landowner and local merchant. The dam was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 15, 1979.</p><br>
<p>This dam began as a natural outcropping in the riverbed. After Henry Troell bought the mill, the dam was further built up over the years. In 1895, Troell installed hydroelectric generators to power his mill and the town. Then in 1907 he sold the dam and power plant to the City of Seguin, which owns them today.</p><br>
<p>The low but wide dam forms a graceful S curve, a rare structure for a dam. It is a unique design on the Guadalupe River, and perhaps in Texas. The dam we see today was built as part of Max Starcke Park, designed by Robert Hugman, the father of the San Antonio River Walk. The dam/waterfall, like the rest of the original section of the park, was built by the National Youth Administration, to Hugmans plans. The park was dedicated in 1938, the towns centennial.</p><br>
<p>Saffold Dam is located on the west side of Texas State Highway 123 Business, about 10 blocks south of downtown Seguin. One side borders Max Starcke Park and the city&#39;s water works; the other side has the abandoned power plant.</p><br>
<h2>Early history</h2><br>
<p>The site lies in pecan bottoms used for thousands of years by the indigenous paleo-Indian hunter-gatherers, as evidenced by recent finds near the location. Over 1000 relics were discovered in a single day while moving soil during routine yard maintenance. An archaeological dig continues.</p><br>
<p>The Flores Crossing was a low rapids over a natural rock outcropping and gravel banks that created a ford across the Guadalupe River. In 1838 Flores established his ranch here on the south side of the river, across from Seguin. Being one of the larger operating ranches of the time, it was visited by German naturalist and geologist Ferdinand von Roemer in 1846. The beauty and clarity of the river and ford were described in his works, Die Kreidebildungen von Texas and ihre organischen Einschlüsse (1852).</p><br>
<p>The dam was named for Civil War veteran William Saffold. His father, Bird Saffold, came from Georgia and bought the property here in 1853 from Manuel N. Flores, a veteran of the battle of San Jacinto, and the brother-in-law of Juan Seguin, for whom the town is named.</p><br>
<p>In 1865, William Saffold built a home here on his extensive lands and became a successful businessman, operating a store near this location. He soon established a small mill, which was built in the style typical of this region, during the second half of the 19th century. From the second-story porch of his home, he could see the natural dam that he began to improve by adding boulders where possible. That way, dammed-up water rushed through the mill race with a stronger force to power his gristmill.</p><br>
<p>In the 1870s, the crossing below the dam was known as the Saffold Crossing, and it was used by several herds as part of the cattle drives heading north.</p><br>
<p>The dam was further improved after it was purchased by Henry Troell in the 1880s. Troell added more rock to further heighten the dam, raising the water level in order to provide sufficient power for a cotton gin. He added hydroelectric capabilities in 1895, which provided the first pumped water and electricity system to the city. It was one of the first hydroelectric plants in Texas.</p><br>
<p>Troell later moved his mill operations, and in 1907, the City of Seguin, assisted by the efforts of Ferdinand C. Weinert, bought Troells property to further develop the rivers hydroelectricity.</p><br>
<h2>20th Century History</h2><br>
<p>National Youth Administration workers covered the rock dam with concrete while constructing Max Starcke Park, dedicated in 1938. The park and dam were designed by Robert H.H. Hugman, the architect of the River Walk in San Antonio. (A somewhat similar dam on the River Walk was later lost to an expansion project.)</p><br>
<p>The impounded river behind the dam carries the official name of Max Starcke Reservoir. The small reservoir is commonly called Lake Seguin or Lake Starcke, in the style of other nearby reservoirs on the Guadalupe River; Lake Dunlap, Lake McQueeney, and Lake Placid.</p><br>
<p>The power plant has not operated for some years, though much of the machinery remains. The city leased the abandoned building for a destination restaurant and entertainment venue now under development.</p><br>
<p>Mount Elizabeth is a mountain to the east of Tambo Crossing in East Gippsland, Victoria, Australia. It lies within the Mount Elizabeth Nature Conservation Reserve managed by Parks Victoria. The reserve, which covers 5,234 hectares , was established in 1984. The reserve is the only known location where the endangered plant species leafy nematolepis  occurs. Other rare or vulnerable plant species found in the reserve include Tullach Ard grevillea , outcrop guinea-flower , Mount Elizabeth hovea , monkey mint-bush  and leafless pink-bells . Fauna species of note include the lace monitor, yellow-tailed black cockatoo and gang-gang cockatoo.</p><br>
<p>A sawmill was established by the Collins Brothers which was reported to be at full capacity in 1937. The harvested timbers included messmate (Eucalyptus obliqua) and ash. Previously an access road had been created and a sawmill established on the river by the Gippsland Timber Company, however its output was minimal.</p><br>

<p>Karakol culture  is a Bronze Age archaeological culture of the 2nd millennium BCE in the Altai area, contemporaneous with the Afanasiev culture. Karakol culture was discovered in 1985 near village of Karakol in Altai. In the Altai territory, the Bronze Age extended from the 3rd to the 2nd millennium BCE, bronze was a main material for tools, weapons and jewelry. At that time in the Altai territory lived people of the Karakol and Afanasiev cultures. Most of the investigated Karakol culture burials are located on the banks of the river Ursul and its tributaries.</p><br>
<h2>Economy</h2><br>
<p>In the Bronze Age, Altai populations transitioned from hunter-gathering to productive economy, from the hunting, plants-gathering and fishing to livestock-breeding and agriculture. The early Altaians in the summer grazed herds of cows, horses, and flocks of sheep and goats on alpine meadows, in the winter they were coming back to the river valleys; they also cultivated fields and grew millet, barley, rye, and other cereal plants.</p><br>
<h2>Archeology</h2><br>
<p>Burials were in kurgans with circular enclosures, some burials in stone boxes, and ground grave-pits enclosed with massive stone slabs. Grave inventory is found infrequently. People were buried in rectangular boxes of hewn stone slabs, with many slabs with round hollows or holes and decorated with drawings of colored mineral pigments on inner side. Deceased were laid head to the west, facing the east. Coloured pictures in red, black, and white depict anthropomorphous creatures with feather crowns or with horns, with anthropomorphous masks and with costumes and sleeve ornaments. The pictures of birds, goats, elks, and people were made by cutting point technique. According to researchers, depicted animals and fantastic creatures on the inner side of the slabs "carried" the deceased to the afterlife. One of the figures depicted a man with a dog&#39;s head. Notably, at about the same time, the inner walls of the Egypt pyramids depicted dog-god Anubis escorting souls of the deceased to the afterlife. This suggests that at about the same time, beliefs and burial rites in the Altai and Egypt were similar.</p><br>
<p>The stone vaults of Karakol culture contain coals and ashes. This element of the spiritual and religious culture is preserved in the Altai Mountains to this day. The modern Altaian ritual practices include fire for ritual cleansing.</p><br>

<p>Results of correlation between traditional anthropological group-differentiating complex of craniometrical and odontological traits with the markers of mitochondrial DNA were presented in the Professorial dissertation of T.A. Chikisheva, 2010.</p><br>

<p>Our Saviors Scandinavian Lutheran Church, also known as Our Saviors Lutheran Church or Our Savior&#39;s Evangelical Lutheran Church is located in Ward County, North Dakota. It is situated one mile north of State Route #50 and one quarter mile west of Ward County Highway #1 near Coulee, Mountrail County, North Dakota. The church and its cemetery were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>
<p>The single-story, wood-framed building has a vernacular front-gabled form with a vestibule tower in front. The church was built in 1907 by Harald M. Grenvik, Sr. (1883-1963) who later built several other churches in the region. The church was created to serve the Norwegian and Swedish immigrant communities. It remained a significant religious center of the surrounding community until its closing service in 1962.</p><br>
<p>Our Saviors is maintained by Our Saviors Lutheran Cemetery Association which was formed in 1971. Our Savior&#39;s Evangelical Lutheran Cemetery was started in 1931 and contains 131 graves.</p><br>
<p>Krotov culture is an indigenous 2nd millennium BCE Bronze Age culture of animal breeders in the steppe and forest-steppe area of the Western Siberia Altai mountainous area of Russia in the upper Irtysh river basin. The Krotov culture is an areal period named for a circle of cultures that include Elunin culture, Krotov culture, Loginov culture and similar cultures with identical or close traits and variations. Krotov culture people engaged in cattle breeding, hunting and fishing. In the territory of the culture were found stone and bronze tools.</p><br>
<p>Krotov culture embraces the period from the turn of the 3rd and 2nd millenniums to the 13th to 12th centuries BCE. It is a first (pre-Andronovan) period of developed bronze in the Western Siberia.</p><br>
<p>Some scientists attribute the materials of the Tashkov culture to the Krotov culture people (Kovalev, Chairkina, 1991), with a corollary that Tashkov culture people also had an animal husbandry economy with short-distance grazing. The Tashkov culture people were in regular cultural contact with the population of the Southern Urals, and they also learned metalworking.</p><br>
<h2>Seima-Turbino Metallurgical Province phenomenon</h2><br>
<p>Krotov culture, along with Elunin, Loginov and similar cultures constituted one component of the Seima-Turbino Phenomenon. The tribes of the Krotov circle cultures were located in the Altai area steppes, forest-steppes and foothills; they were metallurgists and pastoral animal breeders. They developed entirely new designs of socketed weapons, and art images that included horses, oxen, sheep, camels, and more. The other component was located in the area of the Sayan highlands, where lived populations of the southern zone of East Siberian taiga hunters and fishermen. They belonged to the Glazkov, Shiver, and other cultures around the Baikal and Angara River basin, who mastered bronze casting and the manufacture of flint, jade and bone implements, and produced twin blade knives, scraper knives, and saws; their imagery had snakes, elk, bear, and more. The organic fusion of the Altai and Sayan components into a single culture is thought to have occurred in the steppe foothills between the Ob and Irtysh rivers.</p><br>
<p>The tribes of the Krotov and related cultures migrated rapidly first to Western Siberia, and then by northern routes to the Urals and Eastern Europe, to the Kama and Oka rivers and along the Volga to its lower course; in the north they spread to the basin of the Pechora and Vychegda rivers, and on to the northern regions of Finland.</p><br>
<p>Migrations of the Krotov circle culture tribes are traced by typological artifacts found in burials and settlements, the weaponry of knives, celts, spearheads, the casting molds for forked spearheads, and Krotov ceramics, distinct from the artifacts of the local cultures.</p><br>
<h2>Economy</h2><br>
<p>In the Bronze Age, Altai populations transitioned from hunter-gathering to a productive economy: from hunting, plant-gathering and fishing to livestock-breeding and agriculture. The early Altaians in the summer grazed herds of cows, horses, and flocks of sheep and goats on alpine meadows; in the winter they came back to the river valleys; they also cultivated fields and grew millet, barley, rye, and other cereal plants.</p><br>
<p>Krotov culture already had an established complex producing animal husbandry system of horses and cattle, with a significant proportion of small ruminants with equal proportions of sheep and goats. The traditions of hunting and fishing are obvious, possibly some floodplain agriculture. Crafts included metalworking, developed pottery-making, bone and stone processing.</p><br>
<p>The Krotov culture people did not have their own metallurgy; they obtained metal ingots from suppliers in Altai, Mountain Shoria, Kuzbass, and eastern Kazakhstan. Their art was in mastering molding in bilateral forms.</p><br>

<p>The City National Bank was a bank and is also the name of its historic building in Galveston, Texas. The bank was founded in December 1907 by W.L. Moody; the building was built during 1919-20.</p><br>
<p>The City National Bank became the Moody National Bank. The downtown building is now the Galveston County Historical Museum.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>The building was a $200,000 structure built specifically for City National Bank. Its exterior has a pedimented portico with Corinthian columns and it has a barrel-vaulted interior.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register as part of a collection covered in a study of the city&#39;s historic resources.</p><br>
<p>The Moody family also built the Medical Arts Building (1927-29), and the Jean Lafitte Hotel (1927), among the biggest structures in Galveston, and the latter also NRHP-listed. And in the same block as the City National Bank is the USA National Bank (1923-25), an Italian Renaissance 11-story skyscraper building that is an "interesting contrast" architecturally, and was also listed in the study.</p><br>
<p>The Whitney Section House, also known as Whitney Station, is a historic railroad-related building in Wasilla, Alaska. It is a single-story wood frame structure, which was built in 1917 by the Alaska Railroad. It originally stood at mile 119.1, about 4.8 mi north of Anchorage Station, and was one of a series built by the railroad and located at roughly ten-mile intervals. The area where it stood was taken by the federal government for Elmendorf Air Force Base, and was rescued from demolition by the local chapter of the National Railroad Historical Society. It now stands on the grounds of the Alaska Museum of Transportation and Industry in Wasilla, and has seen a variety of uses.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>The Yalu River is a river straddling the Chinese regions of Heilongjiang and Hulunbei&#39;er near the eastern border with Russia. As a right tributary of the Nen River, the Yalu starts on the eastern slopes of the Greater Khingan Range, and flows in the general south-eastern direction through Zhalantun in Hulunbei&#39;er and Qiqiha&#39;er in Heilongjiang. The Yalu flows from the west into the Nen River some 100 km south of Qiqiha&#39;er.</p><br>
<p>As the Nen then flows to the south and into the Songhua River, and the Songhua, to the east and northeast and into the Amur, the Yalu River is part of the Amur River basin. It should not be confused with another, much larger and better known Yalu River (, Yālù Jiāng), which flows along the China–North Korea border and into the Yellow Sea.</p><br>

<p>The Hadland Fishing Camp is a historic fishing camp in the Apostle Islands of Ashland County, Wisconsin. Built in 1938, the camp is located on the eastern shore of Rocky Island and is part of the Rocky Island Historic District. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 18, 1977.</p><br>
<p>Christian Hadland immigrated from Egersund, Norway in 1905 and fished with his brother from a camp on Outer Island. In 1938 he moved his operations to this site on Rocky Island. Each year he net-fished from late spring until bad weather in the fall. Mrs. Hadland and the kids joined him on the island each summer and returned to the mainland when school resumed. As many as eight hired hands also lived on the island at times. Hadland&#39;s sons Clifford and Harvey still fished from the island at least into the 1970s.</p><br>
<p>The site includes a log cabin that Hadland built in 1920 in the French piece-sur-piece style on Outer Island, then moved to Rocky Island in 1938. There are also other cabins, a shed for storing nets, an ice house, gill net winders, and drying frames.</p><br>
<p>The Warren Township District No. 4 School, also known as the Bunert School, is a one-room schoolhouse building located at 27900 Bunert Road in Warren, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012 and designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1989. It is the last one-room schoolhouse remaining in Warren.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In January 1875, August and Mine Bunert sold a plot of land at the northeast corner of the intersection of Bunert and Martin Roads to the Warren School District for the purpose of constructing a school. The district constructed this one-room schoolhouse on the site later in the year, formally known as the Warren Township District No. 4 School, but commonly called the Bunert School after the original landowners. The building was used for K-8 students until 1928, when a second building was constructed nearby for older students. The original Bunert School was then used for K-4 until 1944, when the nearby Charwood School was built. That span makes the school the longest-used one-room schoolhouse in Warren.</p><br>
<p>After 1944, the district used the structure as a meeting hall; it was later sold to John O&#39;Connor (along with the 1928 structure), and converted into a six-room residence. The Santa Maria Lodge purchased both buildings in 1970. In 1987, the Lodge offered the 1875 building to the Warren Historical Society, who raised $22,000 to restore it. The structure was moved to its present location in 1988, and is used as an educational museum. The 1927 school is still in its original location.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Warren Township District No. 4 School is a single-story wood frame structure with a gable roof sitting on a concrete foundation. The exterior is covered with board and batten siding, and the interior has wooden floors, tin ceiling, and wooden wainscoting.</p><br>
<p>Bender&#39;s Restaurant is a historic restaurant and commercial building in downtown Canton, Ohio, United States. Constructed in 1899 and expanded soon afterward by connecting two adjacent buildings, it remains in use as a restaurant, and it has been named a historic site.</p><br>
<p>Cantons biggest years of growth occurred around the turn of the twentieth century, and Guy Tilden was the citys leading architect of the period. In the 1890s and early 1900s, Tilden favored the Romanesque Revival style, but Benders represents a transition in his thinking away from revivalism and toward simpler, newer modes of construction. By 1918, Benders reputation had grown to the point that the Automobile Blue Book was promoting it as a destination for out-of-state road travellers.</p><br>
<p>Two stories tall, Benders is built of brick on a foundation of sandstone, while the buildings added in 1908 are constructed of ashlar and brick. Benders facade is divided into three bays; much of the exterior features stained glass in place of ordinary display windows, and comparatively little ornamentation is otherwise present. Inside, large amounts of wooden panelling are present, and other original elements are also present, including the separate women&#39;s entrance, the marble wainscoting, the coffered ceilings with visible structural elements, tiled floors, and a group of murals produced by a travelling German painter.</p><br>
<p>In 1987, Bender&#39;s was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of its historically significant architecture. It was part of a multiple property submission of five Guy Tilden-designed properties in Canton, all of which were added to the Register together; the Harry E. Fife House and the Weber Dental Manufacturing Company are likewise still on the Register, although the Hotel Courtland and the Case Mansion have since been removed.</p><br>
<p>Huqoq or Hukkok  was an ancient Jewish village, located 12.5 km north of Tiberias.</p><br>
<p>The area had been settled since ancient times and is mentioned in the Book of Joshua. The Arab village Yaquq was built at Huqoq&#39;s location, and a kibbutz named Hukok was established near the site on 11 July 1945.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The village site was inhabited in the Early and Middle Bronze Age.</p><br>
<p>Hukkok (Hebrew חקק) is mentioned in the Bible in Josh. 19.34. suggest that it was inhabited in the Iron Age, Persian, Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Abbasid, Fatimid, Mamluk and Ottoman periods.</p><br>
<p>The Roman period village was large and prosperous due to the presence of a constant spring. Archaeologist Jodi Magness told Science News that the "high artistic quality and the tiny size of the mosaic cubes... together with the monumental size of the stones used to construct the synagogue’s walls, suggest a high level of prosperity in this village, as the building clearly was very costly.” The prosperity of the ancient village contrasts with the simplicity of the Ottoman era settlement and can be seen by archaeologists in animal bones which were cut by professional butchers in the ancient Jewish village, and by farmers in the Muslim period. It is apparent from both the synagogue and the absence of pork bones that the Roman period village was Jewish.</p><br>
<p>"The ancient village is surrounded by associated features, including cist graves, rock-cut tombs, a mausoleum, quarries, agricultural terraces and installations, a winepress and an olive press. Two large miqwa’ot (ritual baths) are hewn into bedrock on the eastern and southern periphery of the ancient village (see below)."</p><br>
<p>The village is attested in Late Roman and Byzantine period rabbinic sources.</p><br>
<h2>Archaeological site</h2><br>
<p>A 2011 dig led by archaeologist Jodi Magness excavated several sections at the site of the former village. Among the items uncovered was a mosaic that is said to have adorned the floor of an elaborate 1,600-year-old synagogue.</p><br>
<p>An ancient synagogue uncovered in 2011 is notable for its fine limestone carvings and for a mosaic of the Biblical hero Samson. According to archaeologist Jodi Magness, "This discovery is significant because only a small number of ancient (Late Roman) synagogue buildings are decorated with mosaics showing biblical scenes, and only two others have scenes with Samson (one is at another site just a couple of miles from Huqoq)" Furthermore, "Our mosaics are also important because of their high artistic quality and the tiny size of the mosaic cubes. This, together with the monumental size of the stones used to construct the synagogue&#39;s walls, suggest a high level of prosperity in this village, as the building clearly was very costly."</p><br>
<p>In the mosaic the Biblical Samson is portrayed tying burning torches to the tails of foxes, this is from a Bible story in the Book of Judges in which during a war with the Philistines Samson catches 300 wild foxes, ties burning torches to their tails and sets them loose to set fire to Philistine grain fields. It is flanked by two human faces and a Hebrew inscription referring to rewards for those who perform good deeds.</p><br>
<h2>Tomb of Habakkuk</h2><br>
<p>Jewish, Christian, Druze and Muslim tradition located the tomb of the prophet Habakkuk in Huqoq and it has been a site of pilgrimage since the twelfth century. The earliest mention of the tomb is a letter written by Rabbi Samuel ben Samson (1210): "On our way back from Tiberias we went on to Kefar Hanan. In journeying there we came across the tomb of Habakkuk in Kefar Hukkok." In 1215 Menahem ben Perez of Hebron visited the site, and wrote: "And I went from there, and saw the tomb of the prophet Habakkuk near a spring." The earliest detailed description appears in the book "These are the Travels" (1270–</p><br>
<p>1291): "From there one goes to Ya‘aquq, where is the grave of the prophet Habakkuk, upon which there is a fine monument between four party walls."</p><br>
<p>An Englishmen named John Sanderson visited the tomb in 1601 and wrote "Then we passed by a little village where dwelt and is buried the prophet Abicoke; so said the Jews, and that the town was called Yeacoke."</p><br>
<p>A description from the 1930s, states that "The tombstone... is built of basalt stones, about two metres wide and</p><br>
<p>1.5 metres long, covered in white plaster". It was replaced by a modern tombstone in 1981 over which was built a small building and pool to catch the waters of the spring as a ritual bath. Jewish and Druze pilgrims continue to visit the tomb.</p><br>
<p>However, Seffi Ben Yosef questions the tradition, which was only based on the similar-sounding name between the village and the prophet. He also notes that the grave was earlier known as being that of Sheik Hassan.</p><br>
<p>The Rath Packing Company Administration Building, also known as Adams Store Inc., is a historic Late Gothic Revival building in Waterloo, Iowa.</p><br>
<p>It is a surviving remnant of what was the largest meat-packing plant in the United States in 1941. The plant started in 1891 with hogs, and was "massive". The company was the 5th biggest at the end of World War II, in 1945. In 1966 it was the ninth largest, and it was also the 249th biggest industrial company of any kind in the United States. It closed in 1985.</p><br>
<p>Preservation of the larger complex as a historic district was sought, but was not obtained, as the specialized industrial buildings rapidly deteriorated.</p><br>
<p>The administration building, completed in 1925, is unlike all other buildings in the plant, in that it was designed by a local architect, who was John S. Hartley (1891/92-1985). It was built by the John G. Miller Construction Company, which had submitted the low bid, $78,496, for the project. An extension was later added by contractor Tom McDonald.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<p>Located directly downstream of the Little Colorado River confluence with the Colorado River, the Tanner Graben, in the Grand Canyon, Arizona, USA is a prominence and cliffside rock formation below the East Rim. Tanner Graben is located riverside, on the Colorado River, on a north-northwest bank at Mile 68.5, and lies opposite Tanner Canyon. The Tanner Rapid, created by Tanner Creek lies at the riverside foot of the graben. The graben is a pronounced feature because of the black Cardenas Basalt that forms the middle section of the graben, presumably free of debris accumulation by its cliff face steepness, and winds, and airflow drainage that course through the Colorado River&#39;s canyons; unprotected side canyons of Cardenas Basalt show accumulations as a slope-forming geologic unit, with little showing of black basalt.</p><br>
<p>The Tanner Graben sits on the Butte Fault which trends north-south up the Colorado River, and the west side of Temple Butte; it forms the east flank of Tanner Graben. The Butte Fault is connected to the East Kaibab Monocline which trends north-south up the Colorado River, and turns north-northwest forming the east perimeter of the Kaibab Plateau, which lies due-north of the Tanner Graben region.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>The south face of the Tanner Graben block shows three distinct geology units, all conformably laid members of the Grand Canyon Supergroup-(and Unkar Group), and are at a paleo-tilted (fault) angle of about 15 degrees. The prominence is horizontal (15 degrees dip to ~north-northeast?) caprock section of distinctively, multi-layered Nankoweap Formation, which is unit 2 of the Grand Canyon Supergroup. The Nankoweap Formation is conformably laid on member units 5 and 4 of the Unkar Group, the lowest and first group of the Grand Canyon Supergroup. The black Cardenas Basalt, unit 5 makes up much of the Tanner Graben; it sits on erodable, softer, reddish, and layered-(inter-bedded) Dox Formation. The Dox Formation forms the west and east sides of the narrow southeast flank of the Tanner Graben, and shows its down-dropped distance.</p><br>
<h2>Access</h2><br>
<p>Views of the Tanner Graben can be made from the Tanner Trail as it descends down the west ridgeline of the north-trending Tanner Canyon (Tanner Creek). The trail descends from Desert View, East Rim-(Desert View Watchtower), where many viewpoints along the East Rim look down to the Tanner Graben. Tanner Graben is 1.5 mi west of Comanche Point, which is 3 mi north of Desert View, East Rim.</p><br>

<p>Lake Furukawanuma was a lake that existed in Rikuzentakata, Iwate, Japan until March 11, 2011. When the 2011 Tohoku earthquake struck, the resulting tsunami destroyed the sand wall that separated the lake from the sea. The lake&#39;s western edge thus became part of the new coastline, and the lake became part of the sea.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Rikuzentakada is the largest alluvial plain along the ria of the Sanriku Coast. The plain started to form at the last stage of the ice age when the sea level rose. Sand was carried from the Kesen River into Hirota Bay. About 7500 years ago, the surface area of the bay grew, thus the present plain was under water. Mud deposited in the Furukawanuma Lake was formed by the formation of sand hills about 1,000 years ago. There was a 200 to 300 m wide deposition of sand blocking part of the Hirota Bay. Mud was deposited in Hirota Bay which became deeper. Pine trees were planted along the seashore in the Edo period. The Sanriku Coast has many ria coasts which have frequently been shaped by the actions of tsunami. In 1835, during the Tenpo era, a tsunami destroyed the pine trees, but the trees acted as a barrier and the city of Rikuzen Takata was saved from the full impact of the tsunami.</p><br>
<p>The Kawara River flowed into the lake from the north-west, while the Koizumi River flowed from the east. The rivers contained particulates that fell to the lake bed beneath. The Kesen River flowed into the lake when there were floods, and the incoming fresh water mixed with sea water. A lock was installed to facilitate the transport of boats to and from the ocean, but it did not block all the water from the sea.</p><br>
<p>The damage of the city by the tsunamis of 1896 and 1933 was comparatively small because of the pine trees which served as a tide-water control forest. The Chile tsunami (or 1960 Valdivia earthquake) mauled the city of Sanriku Takada. The tsunami came over the sand hills and the 3 m high dike, built in 1908, and over the dike of the northern part of the lake into the Kawara River. Low areas of the city were flooded. A 140 m segment of the dike was destroyed, which formed a water lane for over 200 m connecting the lake and the sea. Through the efforts of 1,500 soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army, a dike was made between the lake and the lake.</p><br>
<p>The first dike was constructed between 1960 and 1963 for the protection of the pine trees. The second dike, 5.5 m high, was constructed between 1963 and 1966 to protect the city from tsunamis. In 1968, a gate was attached to the water lane of Kesen River to prevent water flowing into the lake at high tide. By the installment of the watergate, the water of the lake became closed and the lake was polluted by the city&#39;s waste water. The pollution progressed with the deposition of sludge. Previously swimming was possible, but with increasing pollution, the lake produced an offensive odor. A red tide occurred.</p><br>
<p>In the 1970s, the quality of water was comparatively high. After the 1960 Valdivia earthquake (the 1960 Chile tsunami), an iron floodgate was installed, and the quality of water in the lake diminished by the flow of waste into the lake. Attempts to purify the water continued. The tsunami in 2011 removed all the sandbanks forming the lake and the lake disappeared.</p><br>
<h3>Purification</h3><br>
<p>In 1982, volunteers from Rikuzen Takada started a campaign to clean up the lake. The sludge was 2 m thick while the lake was 4 to 5 m deep. In 1984, they started to clean the lake. In 1985, the use of phosphate in detergents was prohibited. Clean water regulations were established for the lake in 1987. Experts experimented with ways to remove the sludge efficiently with minimum disturbance to water quality. In March 1992, Iwate Prefecture started to clean the lake.</p><br>
<p>In December 1998, the Kawaharagawa Gate was opened and the water of the lake was mixed with seawater. Sewage from Rikuzen Takada city had been discharged into nearby waterways which fed into the lake, but in 1998, the city constructed a new system for treatment of sewage. Removal of the sludge in the lake was completed in 2001. Volunteers distributed water cut bags to be used in kitchens. The level of purification reached the standard level (Lake B type). Water fowl returned to the lake.</p><br>
<h3>Tsunami research</h3><br>
<p>Between 2006 and 2008, investigations were made to reveal the traces of previous tsunami deposits. Traces were found for the tsunamis of 1611, 1933, and 1896, but not of 869. It was concluded that the tsunami of 869 did not arrive at the lake.</p><br>
<h3>Disappearance</h3><br>
<p>On March 11, 2011, the waves of the tsunami, more than 10 m high, destroyed two dikes and the sand hills and the lake diminished into the sea.</p><br>

<p>The Howard Park Historic District is a national historic district located at South Bend, St. Joseph County, Indiana. It encompasses 27.6-acres and includes 51 contributing buildings, 2 additional contributing structures, and 1 further contributing site . It developed between about 1880 and 1947, and includes notable examples of Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, Renaissance Revival, Prairie School, and Bungalow / American Craftsman style architecture and works by architects Austin & Shambleau. Notable buildings include the Sunnyside Apartments , Studebaker / Johnson House , Zion Evangelical Church , the Works Progress Administration built Howard Park Administrative Building , and Lister / Plotkin House .</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>The I & M Building, also known as Colfax Place, is a historic building located at 220 W. Colfax in South Bend, Indiana. It is located next to the Commercial Building. The building, which was built in 1929, originally housed the offices of the Indiana and Michigan Electric Company. The Art Deco building was designed by Austin & Shambleau. The seven-story building is faced in marble on its front first story, limestone on the remainder of its front, and brick on its sides. Metal spandrels separate the building&#39;s front center windows through the fifth story, while stone spandrels with metal panels separate the side windows. The building is one of the few Art Deco structures in South Bend and the only "pure" example of the style within its downtown business district.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. After a brief tenure as a condominium development, the building is now used as office space.</p><br>
<p>North Brother Island is an uninhabited island in the Indian Ocean, part of the Andaman Archipelago. It is located in the Duncan Passage, about 19 kilometre northeast of Little Andaman Island. It is part of the South Andaman district of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, a Union Territory of India.</p><br>
<p>The island is nearly round, about 1.1 km across. It is almost flat, thickly wooded except in its central part, fringed by a narrow beach and surrounded by a reef all around. The central part is depressed and becomes a lake in the rainy season. The island hosts a 0.75 km wildlife sanctuary, established 1987.</p><br>
<p>By the end of the 19th century, the island was occasionally visited by the Onge of Little Andaman to catch sea turtles.</p><br>
<p>It has been conjectured to be part of the route for the Onge expansion into south Great Andaman Island in the wake of the Great Andamanese tribes, around 1890 to 1930.</p><br>
<p>South Brother Island is an uninhabited island in the Indian Ocean, part of the Andaman Archipelago. It is located in the Duncan Passage, about 9.5 kilometre northeast of Little Andaman Island. It is part of the South Andaman district of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, a Union Territory of India.</p><br>
<p>The island is roughly bean-shaped, about 1800 m by 630 m, with a broad bay on the north side. It is almost flat, thickly wooded, fringed by a narrow beach and surrounded by a reefs. The central part is depressed and becomes a lake in the rainy season.</p><br>
<p>By the end of the 19th century, the island was occasionally visited by the Onge of Little Andaman to catch sea turtles; one explorer reports finding huts "with neat charpoys of bamboos" capable of holding 30 people. The island seemed to be their limit in disputes with the Great Andamanese. The island was a probable route for the Onge expansion into south Great Andaman Island in the wake of the Great Andamanese tribes, around 1890 to 1930.</p><br>
<p>Asigarh Fort, also called Hansi Fort is located on the eastern bank of Amti lake in Hansi town of Haryana, India. It is also known as Prithviraj Chauhan&#39;s Fort or Prithvi Raj Chauhan Ka Qila and has been declared a centrally protected monument by ASI. It has completely been converted into a mound. A long pillared structure with a flat roof is situated on the top of the mound and is known as Baradari.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Hansi fort or Asigarh Fort has long history with little clarity about earlier period and the present fort was built with materials of earlier fort of a period about 7th century C.E. It is believed that original fort was built by Harsha or his Prabhakaravardhana.</p><br>
<p>As per British library, is believed to have been founded by Anangpal Tomar, the Tomar king of Delhi. The ancient coins of period before Christ were also found in this area. British Indian Army built a cantonment in this fort after George Thomas surrendered to British Raj in 1803. During the revolt of 1857, the cantonment was abandoned and the fort was damaged. The prisoners of Kuka movement were imprisoned in this fort during 1880s.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The fort is said to be one of the most impregnable forts of ancient India The walls of the fort are 52 ft high and 37 ft thick. At the south end of the fort is a big gate added later by George Thomas. The carvings on the walls assign it to be of Hindu origin. 57 bronze images of Jain thirthankars were found during excavation in the fort.</p><br>
<h3>Char Qutub Dargah</h3><br>
<p>A mosque is also located inside the fort complex which was added after the defeat of Prithviraj Chauhan.</p><br>

<p>Minetta Creek , Nearly two miles long, it began from two tributaries, the main one having its source near what is now Fifth Avenue and Twenty-first Street, and a secondary one that had its source at Sixth Avenue and Sixteenth Street. The streams flowed southward and joined between Eleventh and Twelfth Streets between Fifth and Sixth Avenues. From there it flowed southward across what is today Washington Square Park, it then crossed southwest, traversing what is today its namesake street – Minetta Street – and then Downing Street, eventually discharging into the Hudson River near what is currently Charlton Street. The creek was filled in by the mid-nineteenth century, although it persisted as an underground stream through the twentieth century. Debate continues on whether the creek still exists.</p><br>
<h2>Origins of name</h2><br>
<p>A plaque affixed to the building at Two Fifth Avenue provides one derivation of the name and reads as follows:</p><br>
<p>Another theory is that the name is an anglicization of the Dutch root "min" or "minuut" (English: little) and suffix "-tje" to produce "Minnetje" or "The little one" to distinguish it from the Groot Kill, a large creek that was a mile away.</p><br>
<h2>Colonial days</h2><br>
<p>The creek, whose course formed a well-defined channel, was known for its abundance of fish, in particular trout. Pickerel, bass, and pike were among the species fished in it. "All manner of wild fowl" including ducks and geese could be found in the creek. In fact the filling-in had preceded real-estate speculators&#39; infill, according to the British Headquarters Map of c 1782–83, when the British carried out extensive defenses of the city: "they dammed Minetta Water to create a lake in what is now the West Village"</p><br>
<p>Bestevaers Killetje formed a convenient landmark designation for surveyors. Murray Hoffmans Treatise Upon the Estate and Rights of the Corporation of the City of New York, as Proprietors reprints numerous historical documents from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, a number of which mention Minetta Creek. Most of these pre-nineteenth century documents refer to the creek by its Dutch name, Bestavaers Killtjie (or, in a more probable spelling, Bestevaers Killetje). One of the most significant of pre-American Revolutionary War documents consolidating ownership of land in Manhattan was the Montgomerie Charter, named after governor John Montgomerie, dated January 15, 1730, and ratified by the Colonial Legislature in 1732. It stated in part:</p><br>
<p>The Land Ordinance of 1796 – a USA federal cadastral survey done for purposes of taxation, also reprinted by Hoffman – laid out the line of West Street, which had been built over landfill, and noting three geographical points. The first was a point 150 ft north of Greenwich Street "from the center of the arch or bridge over Bestavers Killtjie." Hoffman added a note: "Bestavers Killtjie was afterward known as the Minetta Brook, and crossed Greenwich street in the vicinity of Charlton Street." He concludes his note by stating that this geographic point is represented in an 1807 map made by Charles Loss.</p><br>
<p>A swamp area existed in what is now Washington Square Park, fed by the waters of Minetta Creek. The creek served as a boundary between a potter&#39;s field which was established on April 7, 1797, and was in operation until May 25, 1825, on its eastern bank, and private property to its west.</p><br>
<p>The southernmost part of the creeks course was the estate known as Richmond Hill, originally created by Abraham Mortier in the late 1760s. In 1794, he leased it to Aaron Burr, who altered the course of the creek to form "Burrs Pond" at the foot of his estate.</p><br>
<h2>Covering of the creek</h2><br>
<p>Charles Haynes Haswell recalled in 1896 that in 1816 Minetta Stream "was fully apparent; and as it was and is of considerable volume, it has been very important and expensive factor in the construction of the foundations along its line, from its main source, near the site of the Union Club, to its discharge in the North River." "In 1820 there still was a small colony of muskrats, bordering this creek," Issachar Cozzens recalled in 1843. "The brook passed along the lower end of Potters Field, and formed a large pond called Bolluss Pond, where Downing Street now is; the low swampy grounds that were filled up caused this pond, which lay a little north-west of Richmond Hill."</p><br>
<p>The covering in of Minetta Stream began in 1820, when the common council appointed James Wallace to build a Minetta sewer. Joan H. Geismar, an urban archeologist who wrote an archeological assessment of Washington Square Park in 2005, hypothesized that the purpose of this sewer was in part to function as a drain directing water away from the potters field. Geismar surmised that the building of the sewer was not enough for the creek to avoid the cemetery because in 1823, the common council directed Thomas Cummings to deepen the riverbed of Minetta Creek. Due to the opening of Fifth Avenue, on December 10, 1824, the Council directed that Minetta Creek be culverted from its location at Fourth Street (now Washington Square South) to Sixth Street (now Washington Square North). With the closing of the potters field on May 25, 1825, the council chose to transform the area into a military parade ground, which eventually became Washington Square Park. By autumn 1828, the creek was diverted to the Hudson River through a wooden sewer. By 1849, the Richmond Hill estate near the southern end of the stream had been demolished, with row houses taking its place, indicating that water no longer flowed through the area. The residential brownstone residence at 45 West Twelfth Street was built in 1846. The odd shape of its eastern wall, slightly overlapping its neighbor at 43 West Twelfth Street (erected in 1861), is due to being built on the bank of Minetta Creek.</p><br>
<p>With increasing numbers of immigrants moving to the area during the latter half of the nineteenth century, several doctors were appointed by the New York State Legislature to investigate housing conditions in tenements, and they spent many days interrogating various residents. On Oct. 27, 1884 they interrogated John F. Attridge, a real estate agent, on living conditions in various kinds of housing in lower Manhattan. At one point Doctor S. Oakley Vanderpoel raised the subject of whether houses built over filled-in ground had proper drainage. To this Attridge responded: "I lived for fifteen years over Minetta Brook, and the people always considered it the most unhealthy place in New York, but there was nobody sick."</p><br>
<p>In 1892, the New York Times reported the flooding of the cellar of Solomon Sayles, a merchant whose store was located at 126 Sixth Avenue, between Tenth and Eleventh Streets. This incident provided the Timess reporter an opportunity to speak with Egbert Ludovicus Viele, who had designed the Topographical & Sanitary Map of Manhattan published in 1865. Viele had first investigated the creek in 1860, using a British survey made at the time of the Revolutionary War. Viele explained that the creek was a source of water prior to construction of the Croton Distributing Reservoir. Once the reservoir had been completed in 1842, the creek was no longer needed as a water source, and it became a dumping ground. When Viele once gave a talk on the creek, an elderly physician in the audience recalled cases of intermittent fever due to the creek. Viele was quoted as saying "I have no doubt that the water in Mr. Sayless cellar comes from the sources of Minetta Creek." He went on to describe the source of Minetta Creek as a perennial spring. Such springs are as natural as the islands rock formations and cannot be dammed, Viele concluded. The 1892 article recommended better drainage for Manhattans subterranean water sources.</p><br>
<p>In his 1894 book, In Old New York, Thomas A. Janvier wrote: "Although Manetta Creek no longer is visible on the surface, it still flows in diminished volume through its ancient channel&mdash;as those living near or over it sometimes know to their cost." Janvier described the creeks path and warned that no buildings could be built on or near it without extensive reinforcements to their foundations. In addition to Sayless store, he mentioned the recent floodings of the Lincoln Building at the southwest corner of Union Square, the building at the northeast corner of 19th Street and Fifth Avenue, and 66 Fifth Avenue.</p><br>
<p>In 1897, George Everett Hill and George E. Waring, Jr. wrote: "Although Minetta Brook has been lost to sight for many years, we have abundant evidence that it still exists. Deep excavations near its course are almost invariably flooded by its waters, and heavy buildings over or beside it require elaborate foundations of piling."</p><br>
<h2>Encounters with the creek underground</h2><br>
<p>Encounters with Minetta Creek in the twentieth century were based on construction projects that unexpectedly encountered its water underground:</p><br>
<p>In 1900, construction workers for the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad (today the PATH) had to navigate quicksand formed from the water. Their work was particularly difficult as they could not break the surface of Sixth Avenue which would have disrupted traffic.</p><br>
<p>In 1901, Egbert Ludovicus Viele was again contacted concerning flooding in a construction project, and again declared the source of water to be Minetta Creek.</p><br>
<p>In 1907, the Degnon Contracting Company was building an extension to the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad north of Ninth Street and declared the water to have dried up, to the relief of area property owners who had previously spent thousands of dollars on pumps to rid their properties of water. This was again confirmed by a 1916 article.</p><br>
<p>In 1928, during construction of the West Fourth Street – Washington Square of the Independent Subway System, an unidentified reporter indicated that the stream could be seen in the construction site.</p><br>
<p>In 1929, construction workers at Jefferson Market found their construction pit filled with water; the source was attributed to Minetta Creek by H. W. Lesh, chief engineer of the contractor, the Marcus Construction Company. A photograph of the site under construction shows a pool of water from the creek.</p><br>
<p>In 1969, construction on Jimi Hendrix&#39;s Electric Lady Studios was delayed in part due to flooding attributed to Minetta Creek.</p><br>
<p>In 1977, during construction on Saint Vincent&#39;s Catholic Medical Center, Crimmins Construction was plagued with water from Minetta Creek. Robert Crimmins reported that the water was "quite clean" and that it flows "through the ground quite rapidly."</p><br>
<p>In 2014, author Rachel Kaadzi Ghansah wrote in The Believer of a visit to Electric Lady Studios where she saw water from the creek "rushing clear and steady" through a hole in the studio&#39;s cellar.</p><br>
<p>Bloggers who live near where the creek ran claim that it still exists, based on evidence of flooding in basements and cellars. Will Hunt, searching in 2011, could not find any evidence of subterranean water.</p><br>
<p>Hardscramble is the name given to an early 1800s stone structure located near Seguin, Texas, that was used as a home station by some of the earliest and famous of Texas Rangers.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>According to research for a Texas historical marker, Hardscramble located on 1806 Tschoepe Rd., Seguin, Texas was the home station of early Texas Rangers, Henry McCulloch and Benjamin McCulloch from 1841 until 1853.</p><br>
<p>Nathaniel Benton occupied the building in 1858 and later in 1871, it was home to Elijah Dale.</p><br>
<p>A Texas Centennial marker was placed to honor the location and its history in 1936. The old ranger station and marker still stand at the location and occasional tours can be arranged locally.</p><br>
<p>A second and older adobe Walnut Branch Ranger Station and hospital once stood at the corner of Court and Guadalupe Streets. It was used by the Caldwell, Callahan and Hays Rangers. No longer standing, it was unexpectedly razed around 2000. A city historical marker has been placed to honor and identify the location.</p><br>

<p>The Großer Mittelberg  is a ridge in the Harz Mountains of Germany that begins immediately northeast of Lonau in the county of Osterode in Lower Saxony. It separates the valley of Kirchtal, through which the Große Lonau flows, from the Mariental and the Kleine Lonau. is Although it is the nearest subpeak to the village of Lonau, the Großer Mittelberg is, at 531 metres, not the highest point, but may be viewed as a main summit due to its prominent location. From here on, the ridge only climbs gently in a northeasterly direction and has several more subpeaks with small wind gaps. To the north the Großer Mittelberg transitions to the ridge of Auf dem Acker without any noticeable wind gap.</p><br>
<p>The Großer Mittelberg is almost entirely covered in beech woods and lies within the Harz National Park.</p><br>

<p>The Case-Shiras-Dearmore House is a historic house at 351 East 4th Street in Mountain Home, Arkansas, United States. It is a 2½-story plain traditional wood-frame structure, with a roughly L-shaped layout, a stone foundation, and a cross-gable roof. A single-story shed-roofed porch stands on the crook of the L, which faces south. The house was built in the 1870s by Dr. J. H. Case, but its most notable resident was Tom Shiras, who acquired the house in 1900 and later married into the Case family. Shiras and his brother published the Baxter Bulletin, a newspaper that grew under his control to become a major regional news outlet with significant editorial influence. The Shiras family owned the property into the 1970s.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The Robert Hall House is a historic 1830s home on the Walnut Branch. The house was the residence of the early ranger, Robert Hall . It is among the oldest structures still standing in Seguin, Texas.</p><br>
<p>Hall had moved to Texas in 1835 and served with the crew of the Yellowstone during the Texas Revolution. He later joined the regular Texas Army for a six month term on June 1, 1836. He would join the Texas Rangers located near Seguin, who were commanded by Mathew Caldwell, Jack Coffee Hays and Benjamin McCulloch. In 1838, Hall and other rangers co-founded the city of Seguin. Hall married Mary Minerva "Polly" King, a daughter of Colonel John Gladden King and built his home beside the Walnut Branch at what is the northwest corner of present-day Travis and Nolte Streets. From this location he could walk northward along the Walnut Branch and check on his fellow rangers at the Walnut Branch Ranger Station (which was located near the present-day intersection of Court and Guadalupe Streets). Hall also served in the Texas-Indian Wars, Mexican Invasions of Texas, Mexican American War and American Civil War.</p><br>
<p>Locally remembered as the Hall-Burges-Glenewinkel home, this old home stills stands, although somewhat modified from its original log cabin construction.</p><br>

<p>the island is lying 37 km south from Port Blair.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The island belongs to the Cinque Islands of Rutland Archipelago and is located 5.5 km southeast of Rutland Island. The passage between North Cinque and Rutland is called Manners Strait.</p><br>
<p>North Cinque Island and South Cinque Island, 1.5 km to the south, are sometimes considered to be a single Cinque Island.</p><br>
<p>North Cinque consists of three rocky Peninsulas connected by sand bars. The northern peninsula is the largest one, 2.9 km long in the N-S direction and 1.1 km wide; it has two adjacent hills about 161 m and 173 m high. The middle (southernmost) peninsula, 1.05 km across, lies 270 m to the south and has a bare hill 89 m high. About 150 m to its west lies the third and smallest peninsula, an oval knob about 450 m across.</p><br>
<p>The sand bar between the south and north peninsulas was broken through in the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami but has since reformed.</p><br>
<h2>Administration</h2><br>
<p>Politically, North Cinque Island is part of Port Blair Taluk.</p><br>
<h2>Demographics</h2><br>
<p>There was a wildlife station on the island, but it was abandoned after budget cuts at 2011.</p><br>
<p>There is a lighthouse at the top of the tallest hill on the northern part of North Cinque, established 1972, about 2 km from the landing point.</p><br>
<h2>Fauna</h2><br>
<p>The Cinque Islands have been declared a sanctuary as they house an enormous variety of coral reefs, sea weeds, colorful fishes, shells, starfish, sea anemones, salt-water crocodile, turtles and water snakes.</p><br>

<p>The island is a popular destination for underwater diving. It is best known for its coral richness and beach beauty.</p><br>
<p>It was named as one of the most visited locations of Andamans.</p><br>
<p>The Melville Walker House is an inn on Maine Street in the Kennebunkport Historic District in Kennebunkport, Maine. The inn was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 6, 1976. It is now known as the Maine Stay Inn.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Melville Walker House was built as a private residence in 1860 by merchant sea captain Melville Walker on land provided to him by his father, William H. Walker. Captain Walker transferred the title to his wife, Abbie, following their marriage.</p><br>
<p>The property then passed to brother-in-law, Hiram Fairfield on October 4, 1876, who in turn left it to his wife, Adelaide, (Melville’s sister) and their son, Harry. 31 years later in 1891, the property passed from the founding family for the first time when Adelaide sold it to the Heuvelman family. The Heuvelmans held the property until 1899, at which time they sold it to George Little, an executive with the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad. The Society’s records show that electric lights were installed in 1905 at the Little’s on Maine Street, then known as “The Maples.”</p><br>
<p>Title to the house and property then passed to Senator Wickes of New York in 1924. The next owners, the Eldridge family, gave the property its current name “The Maine Stay” and opened their guest house. The first cottage was added to the property in 1954. The inn remained under the Eldridge ownership until 1970 when it was sold to the Taylor-Milligan family. They sold The Maine Stay to Max and Jane Andrews in 1976. Jacques and Carol Gagnon purchased the house in 1983 and turned it into a bed and breakfast. In April 1989, title passed to Carol and Lindsay Copeland who sold it to George and Janice Yankowski in 2002. On April 30, 2008 Janice and George sold the inn to Judi and Walter Hauer.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The design of the main house is considered to be square block Italianate architecture, contoured in a low-hip roof design, with additions and renovations added over the years. In the early 1900s, Queen Anne style architecture was introduced to the inn with construction of the suspended spiral partially flying staircase, starburst crystal glass windows, ornately carved mantels and moldings, and additions of bay windows and the wrap-around porch.</p><br>
<p>Los Nogales is a historic 1800s home, among the oldest structures still standing in Seguin, Texas and is the last remaining adobe constructed home in the city. It serves the community as a museum.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The old home was originally built in 1849 for Justus Gombert. Although restored, it retains its original hand-made, sun-dried adobe home construction and cypress shingle roof. It was owned in 1859 by Joseph Zorn and in 1870, Benjamin McCulloch took possession of the house. This building is an example of a primitive home with its pioneer style kitchen and sod hewn cellar.</p><br>
<p>In 1951, the citizens of Seguin formed together to save and restore the old home and from this project was born the Seguin Conservation Society.</p><br>
<p>The first Seguin Post Office was located on the same property as the Los Nogales museum. Senator Juan Seguin helped establish a mail route to Seguin and Los Nogales has previously been referred to as the "Juan Seguin Post Office". The tree-top mail office was quite unique as it was operated from an old tree-house.</p><br>
<p>On March 24, 1972, the old building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Museum</h2><br>
<p>Los Nogales currently serves the community as a museum and is home to many local historical artifacts. The museum is occasionally open for tours.</p><br>
<p>The Phoenix Towers were designed by Ralph C. Harris and built by Del E. Webb in Modern Movement style.</p><br>
<p>The buildings, completed in 1957, are located a mile and a half north of downtown Phoenix at the corner of Central Avenue and Monte Vista Road. The main building is 14 stories with four wings forming an X. "Towers" may be misleading, as there is only one high-rise building, but 2 of the wings are much larger than the other two, giving an appearance of separate buildings. The other building included in the National Register of Historic Places site is a low-rise pool house. The projecting concrete ledges on the towers serve as both balconies and as awnings for the apartments below.</p><br>
<p>The property borders the Heard Museum, which is just west on Monte Vista Road.</p><br>
<p>The buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<p>Ngga Pulu is a summit on the north rim of Mount Carstensz in the western part of the island of New Guinea rising 4862 meters . Trigonometric measurements showed that Ngga Pulu was  the highest mountain of New Guinea and also the highest summit of the Australia/Oceania continent. The elevation of Ngga Pulu in 1936 was about 4907m , and it was the highest and most prominent peak between the Himalaya and the Andes. But due to glacial melting, Ngga Pulu lost a lot of elevation in the 20th century.</p><br>
<h2>Name</h2><br>
<p>Ngga Pulu is the only summit of Mount Carstensz with a regular indigenous name. Sumantri and the current summit used to be called the NW and SE peaks of Ngga Pulu. Heinrich Harrer labeled the NW peak Ngapalu on, while calling the SE Peak (the current Ngga Pulu) Sunday Peak. When Indonesia took control of Western New Guinea in 1963, the peaks were known as Puntjak Soekarno and Puncak Jaya until the Carstensz Pyramid was established as the highest summit. Sometimes after 1973 the NW summit was renamed to Sumantri, in honor of the recently deceased Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources.</p><br>
<h2>Climbing history</h2><br>
<p>Anton Colijn, Jean Jacques Dozy and Frits Wissel reached the summit on 5 December 1936 during the Carstensz Expedition over the Northwall Firn. Subsequent ascendants were Heinrich Harrer and company in 1962 and a Japanese-Indonesian expedition in 1964. Dick Isherwood first ascended the 600 m high north face in a solo effort in September 1972.</p><br>
<h2>Loss of elevation and ice</h2><br>
<p>The 1936 Carstensz Expedition measured a height of 5030 m for this summit. An Australian topographic survey in 1973 established that the 1936 barometric estimates were all between 117 and 125 m too high, suggesting a true height of 4907±10 m for Ngga Pulu in 1936.</p><br>
<p>All prominence key cols in the inner Carstensz area were entirely ice-covered, so the Carstensz Pyramid at the time was a just a sub-peak of Ngga Pulu, with around 200 m (656 ft) of prominence. The Australian scientific expeditions of 1971–73 measured Ngga Pulu at 4862m (15,951 ft), and the ice melting in the key col resulted in a prominence of around 300 m (1000 ft). By the year 2000, all New Guinea glaciers outside the Carstensz area had disappeared. Inside the Carstensz area, a former sub-peak, the now rocky summit of Sumantri, is now some meters higher than the still ice-covered Ngga Pulu. So now, Ngga Pulu has less than 100 m (328 ft) of prominence as a sub-peak of the 4870 m (15,978 ft) Sumantri, which itself has a prominence around 350m (1149ft). The glacial melting has produced significant elevation changes for prominence key cols in the inner Carstensz area and it is also probable that other former big ice-capped peaks in New Guinea lost various meters in elevation such as Puncak Mandala, East Carstensz Top and Ngga Pilimsit. Scientists are monitoring this warming and estimate that by about 2020–30, all New Guinea glaciers may disappear.</p><br>
<p>Sumantri  is a sharp mountain in the western Sudirman Range . It rises 4,870 m.</p><br>
<p>The peak is approximately 2 km northeast of Carstensz Pyramid (4,884 m), the highest mountain of Oceania. The north side of Sumantri is dominated by tremendous cliffs, part of the Noordwand (Northwall) of the Carstensz Massif, that wrap around to the eastern and western sides of the mountain. Remnants of the once mighty Northwall Firn cling tenuously to the southern aspects of the peak. It is unlikely that this ice will last for more than the next 15 years.</p><br>
<h2>Name</h2><br>
<p>Before 1973 the summit was known as the NW summit of Ngga Pulu. The 1936 Carstensz Expedition called it the "Second Peak of the North Wall". Heinrich Harrer labeled it Ngapalu on, while calling the SE peak of Ngga Pulu "Sunday Peak". Describing his ascent of both peaks in 1972, Dick Isherwood followed this nomenclature, using Ngga Poloe for what is now Sumantri and Sunday Peak for what is now known as Ngga Pulu.</p><br>
<p>The Indonesian government renamed the NW summit after professor, Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources of the Republic of Indonesia, after he had died in office in 1973 at the age of 47.</p><br>
<h2>Climbing history</h2><br>
<p>The neighboring and, at the time, higher SE summit of Ngga Pulu was first climbed by a Dutch expedition in 1936 (Anton Colijn, Jean Jacques Dozy and Frits Wissel). The NW summit was first climbed in February 1962 by Heinrich Harrer, Philip Temple, Russel Kippax and Bert Huizenga after their first ascent of Carstensz Pyramid.</p><br>
<p>The 600 m high north cliff was first climbed by Reinhold Messner in a solo effort on 27 September 1971, after he had second-ascended the Carstensz Pyramid with his client Sergio Bigarella earlier in the week. A year later Leo Murray, Jack Baines, and Dick Isherwood climbed both peaks of Ngga Pulu and found the peg that Meisner had left behind on top of the North Face of what they called Ngga Poloe (now Sumantri).</p><br>
<h2>Geology and glaciers</h2><br>
<p>The mountains of Central New Guinea are being formed as the Australian and Pacific Plates collide, resulting in both subduction and uplifting. The rocks at the surface for the peaks in this range are made of limestone. As a result, even though the summit block of the peak looks extremely daunting, it is a fairly easy scramble.</p><br>
<p>Due to the melting of the Northwall Firn from the SE peak of Ngga Pulu, this summit is now the highest point of the north ridge of Mount Carstensz. Furthermore, due to the complete vanishing of the Meren Glacier, its topographic prominence has increased from what would have been ~200 m to ~350 m. Sumantri could be considered the second highest independent mountain of Oceania, and it features on some Seven Second Summits lists.</p><br>
<p>Castello Barbarossa is an archaeological ruin and ornithological station in Anacapri, on the island of Capri, Italy. It derives its name from the pirate and Ottoman admiral, Hayreddin, nicknamed Barbarossa , who stormed it in 1535 and destroyed it in 1544. The construction date is uncertain but it perhaps dates back to the late ninth century. From 1898, the structure, now in ruins, was owned by the Swedish psychiatrist Axel Munthe who donated it to his foundation. The surroundings, interesting for their botanical features, are home to the island&#39;s ornithological station.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The castle&#39;s construction date (ca. late ninth century) is uncertain. It is known to have existed at the end of the tenth century. Taking advantage of local labour, the Dukes of Amalfi built it in order to gain full control over the island of Capri. The manor house was originally owned by Adelferio, son of Sergius II (d. 1028), On 15 November 988, Adelferio donated the castle, as well as his other possessions in Anacapri (including Artimo, Orrico and Gradola), to Giovanni, Count of Capri. The document refers to "unam silvam ad angulum ipsum castellum" (a wood at the corner of the castle).</p><br>
<p>The Norman conquest of Campania forced the Dukes of Amalfi to modernize the structure to provide greater resistance to the enemy. The interior of the fortress was then extended with new features, including a chapel with a buttressed vault. The Angevins attempted to reconstruct the fortress, but without success as the Neapolitans had little building experience. It therefore fell on the inhabitants of Anacapri to care for the fortress which, as a result, was never rebuilt.</p><br>
<p>Barbarossa Castle was then almost totally forgotten until the eighteenth century when the manor was included in some geographical treaties. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, it was however used for military purposes after reinforcement by both the British (1806), who built embrasures for riflemen and a powder house, and by the French (1808), who built a defensive wall which extended from the castle to the Phoenician Steps. In the mid-nineteenth century, after the growing interest of literary circles in the Mediterranean environment and archaeological findings, itinerant scholars described the castle as "a ruin immersed in wonderfully wild surroundings", and in the first half of the twentieth century the site became a must in all Capri&#39;s maps and travel guides.</p><br>
<p>As already mentioned, the castle with the surrounding land was purchased by Munthe who, as he hated hunting, made it a sanctuary for birds. Throughout his life, Munthe campaigned to abolish hunting and was able to convince Benito Mussolini himself to draw up legislation denying hunters access to the island. As of 1950, a year after Munthe&#39;s death, the castle became part of the Axel Munthe Foundation under the ownership of the Swedish Consulate.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and fittings</h2><br>
<p>The plan of the castle is quadrangular with a semicircular wall. The ruins of the highest part, as well as forming the core of the building, belong to what was once the residential area of the castle. Indeed, there is a chapel with a vaulted apse, a belfry and a cistern that was used as a warehouse Another area, offset from the chapel, retains many features, including a vaulted roof, a small partly walled embrasure, and an arched opening. Finally, there is a room with an iron-beamed roof. Built of local stone, the fort has vaulted roofs and tiled floors. The most significant architectural features are its two towers, indicating the military function of the castle. One of them, square-shaped, was built in the Swabian period, the other, however, is circular and was built in the Angevin period.</p><br>
<h2>Grounds</h2><br>
<p>Barbarossa Castle is located in Anacapris Villa San Michele district, not far from the Grotta dell Arco. It is situated 412 m above sea level on a plateau of 250 sqm, on one side of Mount Solaro.</p><br>
<p>The area in front of the fort is characterized by low bush or garrigue and by vegetation that can withstand drought as a result of low nutritional requirements. Plants include strawberry tree, coronilla, euphorbia, heathers, gorse and myrtle. In the winter, the anemone, asphodel, brassica, honeysuckle, crocus, and rock rose bloom. Near the castle, there are some Aleppo pines. Indeed, in 1901, Munthe planted a pine forest, part of which was lost during the fires of 1972 and 1987.</p><br>
<h2>Ornithological station</h2><br>
<p>Having become the ornithological station of Capri, ornithologists live and work at Barbarossa in the present day. It is a useful location as Mount Solaro is an important stop for migratory birds that nest in Europe and fly to Africa for the winter. The station was started by the Italian League for Bird Protection in the early 1980s and was subsequently continued by the Ringing Centre of the Institute for the Protection and Environmental Research of Bologna. In order to facilitate their study, migratory birds are caught in a net, classified by sex, age and species, and then weighed and measured. Their "fat reserve" is also observed as it reveals how much they have consumed during their journey. Each bird is then ringed for future monitoring, with a view to discovering its travels and place of origin. The Swedish experts are attached to the bird station on the island of Öland and although they initially concentrated on spring and autumn migrations, they are now involved in specific projects such as the birds&#39; aptitude for orientation during the longest migrations and the causes of diseases transmitted by birds as well as studies on the migration of butterflies.</p><br>
<p>The Wilkes County Courthouse in Wilkesboro, North Carolina was designed by Wheeler, Runge & Dickey in Classical Revival and Beaux Arts style. It was built in 1903.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. The listing included three contributing buildings on 3.1 acre. It is located in the Downtown Wilkesboro Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>Wilkes Heritage Museum</h2><br>
<p>The Wilkes Heritage Museum is now housed in the historic courthouse. Opened in 2005, the museum&#39;s exhibits include early settlement, military history, industry, agriculture, medicine, communication, education, pottery, entertainment and transportation. The museum also maintains and operates tours of the Old Wilkes County Jail (c. 1859) and the Robert Cleveland Log House (c. 1779), as well as the Blue Ridge Music Hall of Fame. The museum also owns the Thomas B. Finley Law Office.</p><br>

<p>The Lewis and Clark County Hospital Historic District is a historic district in Helena, Lewis and Clark County, Montana. It has also been known as "Cooney Convalescent Home", "Miners Hospital", "Poor Farm", and "Old Cooney Home". There are seven buildings and a garden on the property; four buildings and the garden are part of the historic district: the hospital, detention hospital, shed, superintendents residence, and garden. The non-contributing buildings are the modern garage, concrete garage, and ambulance garage.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Public hospital care in Lewis and Clark County began with the Miner&#39;s Hospital in 1866. Until 1885, public medical care occurred at several locations and via multiple funding mechanisms, including a "Poor Farm" where people grew their own food. The current location came into use in 1885 when a new hospital was built on the current site, designed by M. Bakker. In 1891 it became known as the Lewis and Clark County Hospital, with a focus on providing care for those who could not afford a private hospital, which was a major problem in the days before Social Security, especially for those without children to provide assistance. Expansion of the building occurred in the early 1890s and again in 1899, when architect Charles S. Haire designed new wings.</p><br>
<p>From the 1880s to the 1920s, records show that more than 350 people were buried on this site in a county cemetery, although the markers are long gone and the exact location of the cemetery is unknown.</p><br>
<h3>Earthquake and rebuilding</h3><br>
<p>The original hospital structure was destroyed on October 18, 1935, when a major earthquake struck Helena. The current historic main hospital building was built in 1937–1939 to replace it. This structure is a T-shaped, two-story, concrete building with a basement. The Helena office of J. G. Link & Company were the architects of this Art Deco/Early Moderne design, which includes a flat roof, colored concrete, and diamond-shaped tiles. The south side has a central entrance. There are many bays and windows around the exterior of the building. The interior floorplan has remained essentially the same as it was in 1939. The hospital became the county-owned convalescent home on September 24, 1961 and was renamed the Cooney Convalescent Home.</p><br>
<p>Dr. Cooney, in whose honor the hospital was renamed and the street was named, began working there in the 1920s and served as administrator until the 1950s. In 1984, the Cooney Convalescent Home moved to a new location on the other side of Helena, near St. Peter&#39;s Hospital, and the building was converted to office space, mostly occupied by various healthcare practitioners.</p><br>
<h3>Smaller buildings</h3><br>
<p>The detention hospital, also designed by C. S. Haire, is rectangular and was built in 1901. It has decorative brickwork, a basement, green asphalt shingles, and overhangs. The south side has three bays. Some of the windows are modern replacements, though true to the original style. The west side has a large brick exterior chimney. The shed is a small, rectangular one-story concrete building between the west and north wings. It has green asphalt shingles and was built around 1939. The superintendent&#39;s residence is the oldest structure in the complex and was built around 1891. It is a one-story brick building and the exterior walls were stuccoed after the 1935 earthquake. The rest of the residence is essentially unchanged since it was built. There is a porch on the north end. The garden is west of the residence, is rectangular in shape, and has concrete walkways. There is also a concrete fountain, though it is no longer functioning.</p><br>
<p>There are three garages on the property, but they are non-contributing to the official designation of historic district: the ambulance, concrete, and modern garages. The ambulance garage is a brick rectangular structure built in 1900 on a raised concrete foundation. Much of the brickwork is similar to that of the detention hospital. The ambulance garage is not one of the contributing buildings to the historic district because it is now connected to the concrete garage and its doors and windows were modified. This combined building now houses a restaurant. The modern garage is of frame construction and built in the early 1990s. It is slightly north of the residence and has asphalt shingles and two garage doors. The concrete garage is just northwest of the modern garage and was built after 1950 with a raised concrete foundation and has green asphalt shingles. It is non-contributing because it has been modified with more modern brickwork, stucco, and siding.</p><br>
<p>The Ballou & Wright Company Building is a historic warehouse building located at 327 NW 10th Avenue in Downtown Portland, Oregon. It was designed by Sutton & Whitney and its construction was completed in 1921, and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 30, 1987.</p><br>
<h2>Design Details</h2><br>
<p>It is a five-story, reinforced concrete historic warehouse building. It is significant "as one of the best-preserved large-scale,</p><br>
<p>loft-type warehouses in the city; one which is distinguished by the quality of its exterior finish of sand grey brick on street elevations and its detailing in general. The square corner sprinkling tank and elevator tower at the northwest corner of the warehouse, also finely detailed, is a distinguishing and increasingly rare feature locally. Strip pilasters between structural bays are banded with contrasting cast-stone string courses, and the parapet is ornamented with the Ballou & Wright Company&#39;s distinctive logogram: an escutcheon displaying a winged wheel."</p><br>
<p>The Ballou & Wright Company was the leading wholesaler of bicycles, motorcycles and automobile parts in the region. The company grew to have 12 branch offices. The firm disbanded in 1960.</p><br>
