<p>The Hohes Licht, at 2,651 metres, is the second highest mountain in the Allgäu Alps after the Großer Krottenkopf. Its summit lies in the Austrian state of Tyrol.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The mountain lies 4½ kilometres as the crow flies north-northwest of Steeg in the Lech valley and 14 kilometres south of Oberstdorf. Neighbouring peaks are, to the northeast the Wilder Mann, the Bockkarkopf, the Hochfrottspitze and the Mädelegabel. To the south are the Peischelspitze and the Ellbognerspitze, to the west the Hochgundspitze and the Hochrappenkopf. To the northwest lies the 200 metre lower Rotgundspitze.</p><br>
<h2>First climb</h2><br>
<p>In 1854, during a triangulation exercise, a "survey signal" (Vermessungssignal) was erected. When the mountain was first climbed for leisure purposes by Hermann von Barth on 6 August 1869, the signal was still there. Barth reached the summit approaching from the Biberkopf via the Hochalpe and the Steinscharte from the northwest. This is still the normal route today.</p><br>
<h2>Bases and tours</h2><br>
<p>A suitable base for ascending the Hohes Licht along the normal route, the easiest ascent, is the Rappensee Hut to the northwest at 2,091 metres. From the hut the summit may easily be climbed in 1½ hours. The route runs over the 2,262 metre high wind gap of Große Steinscharte, that marks the border between German and Austria, and over the West Flank (Westflanke) to the top.</p><br>
<p>In 4½ hours the Hohes Licht can be reached from the Hochalptal valley from Steeg (to the south). The height difference for this tour is 1,527 metres. This ascent is also suitable for ski touring in spring.</p><br>

<p>The Chapel Emmanuel Railroad Car was one of thirteen railroad cars used as chapels in the United States starting about 1890. Seven of the cars were built by the Barney and Smith Car Company of Dayton, Ohio and travelled from town to town, mainly in the sparsely populated western states and territories, under the direction of the American Baptist Publication Society.</p><br>
<p>In 1893 the Chapel Emmanuel car was the second car built for the Baptists and was the longest serving, being retired about 1938. In the 1950s it was sold to a salvage business, Brandt Engineering Co., in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, who stripped it of metal and used it for storage. By 1976 the car was given to Prairie Village, a museum near Madison, South Dakota and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The car was being built during the financial panic of 1893. While Barney and Smith was able to build the earlier Baptist chapel car, the Evangel, at cost, it was now a public corporation and was struggling to stay solvent. The price quoted for the car did not include any of the interior necessities. Many items that went into the building of the Emmanuel were donations from corporations: brakes from Westinghouse Air Brake Company, various springs and wheels, along with flatware, blankets and a range for cooking. Still others were donated by the various Baptist organizations; the car&#39;s furnishings were a gift from the women of the First Baptist Churches of Oakland and San Francisco. The car, which was ten feet longer than the Evangel, was dedicated in Denver, Colorado, on May 24, 1893.</p><br>
<p>The Wheelers, who were the first missionaries aboard the Evangel were also the first to travel with Emmanuel. In 1895, the chapel car was sent into the shop for repainting and repairs, making it necessary for the Wheelers to vacate it while the work was done. While making their way home to Minnesota, the train they were aboard was involved in a wreck and Mr. Wheeler was killed. As a memorial to him, a stained glass window was created and mounted in the door leading to the living quarters section of the car.</p><br>
<p>The car traveled in the Western and Northwestern states and territories until 1938, where it sat on a spur in South Fork, Colorado. In 1942, a decision was reached to move the aging chapel car to a Baptist camp at Swan Lake, South Dakota, where it sat for thirteen years before being sold for scrap. The old car was then used for storage by an engineering company. While there, a carpenter for the Prairie Village park saw the car and realized its potential to be restored. The Emmanuel was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976 and was fully restored by 1982. Its permanent home is at Prairie Village.</p><br>
<p>Praia do Evaristo is a beach within the Municipality of Albufeira, in the Algarve, Portugal. The beach is 3.8 mi west of the town of Albufeira and is 31.3 mi west of the regions capital of Faro. In 2012 Praia do Evaristo has been designated a Blue Flag Beach.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Praia do Evaristo is a small popular beach to the west of the resort town of Albufeira. This well kept beach has blue flag status(2012). The beach has fine golden sand with low indented ochre coloured cliffs to the rear. On the sands there are a number of rocky little nooks and crannies provided by the various rock formations. To the centre back of the beach a seasonal watercourse which runs down to the sea and is completely dry for the majority of the year. The sea is safe and clean and has an average summer seawater temperature of 20-23 °C. The sea water quality classification system on has given this beach a three star rating. The rocky outcrops that clutter the seashore are an ideal environment for those that enjoy snorkelling where the marine life can be seen in abundants.</p><br>
<h3>Car Park</h3><br>
<p>To the back of the beach there is a car park of which some places there are allocated parking bays for disabled drivers displaying a European blue badge.

<p>Praia da Amoreira is a beach within the Municipality of Aljezur, in the Algarve, Portugal. The beach is on the western Seaboard in the north west of the Algarve. The beach is 5.4 mi north west of the village of Aljezur, and is 71.8 mi north west, by road, from the regions capital of Faro.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The beach of Praia da Amoreira is within the Vicentine Coast Natural Park and is at the mouth of the Aljezur River. The beach has a wide expanse of golden fine sand which is backed by deep sand dunes. At the southern end of the beach is the mouth of the river Aljezur. The sea, when conditions are right, is a popular spot for surfing and bodyboarding. When the sea is rough it is not so good for swimming and paddling, especially for youngsters, but there are many rock pools to keep the young ones entertained. When the tide is out a shallow lagoon is left on the beach. The lagoon is a safe popular stretch of water both for children and their parents. Also at low tide the banks of the river Ribeira de Aljezur provides an excellent beach area but care should be taken at high tide as currents close to the mouth of the river can be very strong.</p><br>
<h3>Car Park</h3><br>
<p>On the cliffs at each end of the beach there are car parks, neither of which are very big, although the one on the northern side of the bay is the larger. Both car parks have access down to the beach by wooden boardwalks and stairs, but are not easy to use for disabled visitors.</p><br>
<h2>Facilities</h2><br>
<p>During the summer season the beach is patrolled by lifeguards. At either end of the beach, close to the car parks there are beach bars with restaurants. The restaurant situated on the north side is called Restaurant Paraíso do Mar. It has a terrace and specialises in fresh grilled fish like sea bass and sea bream. There are toilets available at the Restaurant Paraíso do Mar.</p><br>
<h2>Getting there</h2><br>
<p>From Lagos take the EN 120 road towards Aljezur. From Aljezur head towards Rogil and just before Aljezur Sports center take the left hand turn directed by a brown sign posted Praia da Amoreira. Continue down this road until you reach to the beach car park on the north side of the bay.</p><br>
<p>Champion Mill is a historic flour and feed mill in Champion, in the southwestern part of the state of Nebraska, in the Midwestern United States. Built in 1888 and rebuilt in 1892 after a fire, the mill was used commercially until 1968. It is now a museum and park run by Chase County preserving the state&#39;s last working water-powered mill. The mill, headrace, and dam were added to the National Register of Historic Places as a historic district in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Commercial mill</h2><br>
<p>The town of Hamilton, later renamed Champion, was created as part of the inrush of settlers to the area in 1886. The location of the town was chosen because a natural three-foot (one meter) rock waterfall on the Frenchman Creek was deemed a prime site for a mill. Thomas Scott acquired land and water rights in exchange for his promise to build a mill on the site. An earthen dam and a mill were built and production of flour and animal feed began in 1889. The mill was rebuilt after a December 1891 fire and was back in operation a year later. The mill was expanded over the years, switching exclusively to feed in 1945. The site was used commercially by successive owners until it closed in 1968.</p><br>
<h2>Park</h2><br>
<p>The mill complex was purchased by the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission in 1969. The mill became the Champion Mill State Historical Park and State Recreation Area; recreation had long been a part of the historical use of the mill pond and adjacent picnic and camping area. The mill building became a museum.</p><br>
<p>The mill complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988 for being a well-preserved and long-running example of mills common to the late-19th/early-20th centuries, and because its mill pond was a significant recreational destination in southwestern Nebraska. The historic district comprises the 1887 dam, headrace, and the three-story frame mill whose oldest sections was built in 1892.</p><br>
<p>In 2013 ownership of Champion Mill State Historical Park (SHP) and the adjacent 11 acre State Recreation Area (SRA) were transferred from the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission to Chase County. The site includes the lake created by the impoundment of Frenchman Creek.</p><br>
<p>George F. Tyler Mansion  &ndash; also known as "Indian Council Rock" &ndash; is a French-Norman country house and former estate in Newtown Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Located west of Pennsylvania Route 413 and north of Pennsylvania Route 332, the property is now divided into Tyler State Park and the campus of Bucks County Community College.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>George Frederick Tyler (1883–1947) was a Philadelphia banker and sportsman. Following his mothers early death, his father, Sidney Frederick Tyler, in 1888 married Ida Amelia Elkins, a daughter of streetcar magnate William Lukens Elkins. Seventeen year later, George married his stepmothers niece, Stella Elkins (1884–1963), a budding sculptor who later studied under Boris Blai. The young couple raised three children in a mansion built for them on the Elkins estate in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania. They donated that mansion to Temple University, and it housed the Stella Elkins Tyler School of Art from 1935 to 2008.</p><br>
<p>Just after World War I, the Tylers bought a Bucks County farm on the west bank of the Neshaminy Creek. They decided to build a country house on the east bank, and by a decade later had assembled a property of nearly 2,000 acre, about 3 square miles. The resulting estate was named for one of its landmarks, "Indian Council Rock," a cliff overlooking the creek, that was reputed to have been a meeting place for the Lenni Lenape tribe. The 60-room main house was designed by architect Charles Willing in 1928, and built, 1930-1931. Constructed of brownstone and 300 feet in length, it is the largest residence ever built in Bucks County.</p><br>
<p>Mrs. Tyler bequeathed the main house and 200 acre of the estate to Temple University in 1963. This was sold to Bucks County in 1965 to create the campus of Bucks County Community College.</p><br>
<p>Now known as "Tyler Hall," the mansion &ndash; still surrounded by formal gardens, stone walls and fountains &ndash; houses the college&#39;s administrative offices. It, along with the twin bath houses, a stone building known as "The Orangery," and two contributing sites, comprise a historic district that was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<p>Coker Spring is a fresh water spring located on Coker Spring Road in Aiken, South Carolina. This spring is formed by a "junction" where the water table intersects the ground surface and according to archaeological remains, has been used since prehistoric times. Coker Springs was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on January 18, 1978.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Dating back to prehistoric times, Coker Springs served as a water source for Native Americans, Aiken’s early settlers, and British troops during the Revolutionary War.</p><br>
<p>This historic site was part of an original land grant to Ephraim Franklin in 1787, but the spring was named for the original owner of the adjacent land. Over the years the land changed hands many times, but the spring gained prominence as a regular stop on the stagecoach route from Abbeville to Charleston.</p><br>
<p>Eventually William Perroneau Finley (1803-1876) purchased the land in 1842 and deeded it to Aiken in 1844, with the stipulation that the city grant, "free use of said Spring to be had and enjoyed by the citizens and inhabitants of Aiken and the public generally for themselves, their servants, cattle and horses, forever."</p><br>
<p>Used as a gathering place for servants to do the laundry, it also served as the primary watering source for the Town of Aiken until a central waterworks was established in 1892.</p><br>
<p>The spring was first covered with a spring house that was constructed in the early 1800s and a "Greek-style brick-and-stucco facade" was added in the 1850s. Throughout the years the springs fell into disrepair, but was completely restored in 1972.</p><br>
<p>The Emma J. Harvat and Mary E. Stach House, also known as the De Saint Victor House, was the home of Emma J. Harvat, who was the first female mayor of Iowa City, Iowa and the first female leader of a USA city with a population greater than 10,000. Harvat was a successful businesswoman who had become financially independent and retired to Iowa City at the age of 43. After arriving there she became partner in another business venture with Mary  Stach, establishing Harvat and Stach to sell women&#39;s clothing. Harvat and Stach had the house on Davenport Street built for them in 1919. The house was designed by Iowa City architect Orville H. Carpenter, incorporating a variety of historical revival styles, dominated by Colonial Revival.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The two-story wood frame house is arranged as a compact rectangular mass, with a hipped rof. The entrance is centered on the front facade with an arched porch framing an arched transom over the front door, which is flanked by sidelights. The front (south) comprises three bays with wide sash windows in a 15-over-1 pattern and a centered projecting bay window over the front door. The roof features two hipped dormers. The house is sheathed in narrow clapboards and rests on a brick foundation. An extension on the east houses a sun room.</p><br>
<p>The interior is arranged around a central stair hall, with a vestibule and entry hall between the stairs and the front door. A dining room and a kitchen are to the left of the entry, from front to back, and front and back parlors on the right, with a study or breakfast room in the middle and the sun porch off the east side of the back parlor. The sun porch was originally to be unenclosed, and the back parlor was called the "sun parlor" on the original plans, though it was located on the northeast side of the house. The upstairs features four bedrooms and a bathroom, with one designated as a sleeping porch over the present back parlor on the original plans. The attic was not finished.</p><br>
<p>The Harvat-Stach House was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 11, 2000.</p><br>
<p>The Phelps House , is located in Aiken, South Carolina. The house was built in the early 1900s on the foundations of an antebellum house that had been destroyed during the Civil War, is historically significant for several reasons, one of which is its very distinctive Shingle Style. This style, used often in the late 1800s and early 1900s in the resort homes of the rich, was rarely used in South Carolina. The large house has over 20 rooms, and the grounds, include the stables, garage, greenhouses and kennels. As of 2012, the home is available for commercial purposes and due to this use, can be readily viewed and enjoyed. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on June 10, 1974.</p><br>
<p>Today, the property is open to the public with amenities that include: Overnight Accommodations, Event Venue Facilities, Catering and The Stables Restaurant.</p><br>
<p>Mallard Lake is a manmade freshwater lake in the unincorporated community of Hunters Creek, in south Orange County, Florida. Originally part the area of the lake and part of the area surrounding the lake was swamp land. The rest was dry land, according to topographical maps. The lake was built in or before the early 1990s to serve two Hunters Creek communities developed in the 1990s. One is Mallard Cove, on the west and southwest sides of the lake, in which 182 homes were built from 1992 to 1996. The other community is Falcon Pointe, to the northeast, east and southeast sides of Mallard Lake. From 1991 to 1996, 165 homes were built in Falcon Pointe.</p><br>
<p>Another manmade lake is in the area, Lake Talova. It is just to the north of Mallard Lake. Talova Drive is on the strip of land separating the two lakes. A cove on Mallard Lakes south side borders Town Center Boulevard, the areas major thoroughfare. The Hunters Creek website says the public cannot fish in these lakes or use boats on them. However, Hunters Creek residents may do so. Neither lake has a boat ramp, so only small boats can be launched.</p><br>
<p>Mazar Tagh is the site of a ruined hill fort in the middle of the Taklamakan desert, dating from the time of the Tibetan Empire. Like the Miran fort site, its excavation has yielded hundreds of military documents from the 8th and 9th century, which are among the earliest surviving Tibetan manuscripts, and vital sources for understanding the early history of Tibet. The site is now located north of the modern city of Hotan in the Xinjiang Autonomous Region of the People&#39;s Republic of China.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Mazar Tagh was part of the ancient Kingdom of Khotan during the first millennium AD. Before the Tibetan army built a fort there, it seems to have been a Buddhist pilgrimage site known locally as "the Hill". During the Tibetan Empire, the fort at Mazar Tagh was the main Tibetan military outpost for the Khotan region, performing a similar role to the Tibetan fort at Miran. During the Tibetan occupation, Mazar Tagh, like Miran, was home not only to soldiers but also to their families, civilian officials, and merchants. Aurel Stein wrote of the presence of an Islamic shrine on the hill at the time of his first visit in 1907, and noted modern Turkic name Mazar Tagh means "Hill of the Sacred Shrine". The hill still contains a functioning Islamic shrine (Mazar).</p><br>
<h2>Archaeology</h2><br>
<p>Mazar Tagh was excavated by Aurel Stein in 1907 during his second Central Asian expedition, and again in 1913 during his third expedition. The fort contained five rooms (i to v in Stein&#39;s discussions) and a watchtower, which is still partially standing. As well as excavating the fort, Stein discovered a large refuse heap on the north and northeast slopes of the hill, which contained hundreds of discarded Tibetan military documents on paper and wood. The British Library holds 1,168 wooden documents under the pressmark IOL Tib N, and 321 paper documents under the pressmark Or.150000, found in the fort itself as well as the rubbish heap. Stein also recovered fragments of Khotanese, Uyghur and Sogdian documents from the site. Several of the Khotanese texts refer to the rule of the Tibetan "masters". Stein also discovered other kinds of artefact, though in much smaller number, including arrows, sheathes, shoes, dice, a comb and a pen. These items are now at the British Museum under the pressmarks MAS.480 to MAS.509.</p><br>

<p>Exomvourgo or Exobourgo  is a mountain on the island of Tinos. It has a rugged appearance, unlike the other mountains in the Cyclades and is the site of a ruined Venetian fortress and town.</p><br>
<p>Exomvourgo is not the highest mountain on the island—that is Tsiknias—but is in a central location ringed by a large number of small villages such as Tripotamos and Falatados and can be climbed from several of these. The walk up from Iera Kardia Iisou takes around 20 minutes. The former Exomvourgos municipality shares its name with the mountain.</p><br>
<h2>Ancient History</h2><br>
<p>Remains dating from the Copper Age have been found near Exomvourgo and Geometric period and 5-6th century BC remains have been found at archaeological excavations at mountains southern foot including a temple of Demeter. A large wall from an Ionian town dating from 1100 BC is sited southwest of Exomvourgo. In the fourth century BC the islands administrative centre moved back from Exomvourgo to the coast.</p><br>
<h2>Fortress and town</h2><br>
<p>Under Byzantine rule a fortress, later named by the Venetians Castello di Santa Elena after a chapel on the summit, was built on the mountain and Exomvourgo functioned as the island&#39;s capital.</p><br>
<p>The mountain was the site of a fortress and town functioning as the administrative centre of the island from 1207 when the island, along with Andros, Skiathos, Skopelos and Skyros became a fiefdom of the Venetian brothers Jeremie and Andre Ghisi following the partition of the Byzantine Empire after the fall of Constantinople during the Fourth Crusade.</p><br>
<p>In 1390, after the death of Batholomew III Ghisi, the Venetian Republic assumed direct control and further fortified the mountain. The island fell to the Ottoman admiral Hayreddin Barbarossa in 1537 but was recaptured by the Venetians in 1538. The fortress was then further expanded until it featured 600 m long ramparts and towers facing in all directions. In this era the town inside the castle had a population of 1000-2000 and contained 677 houses, 5 churches and some storage areas and reservoirs.</p><br>
<p>In 1570 a force of 8,000 Ottoman troops and several cannons, commanded by Canum Pasha, besieged the mountain, but were successfully repulsed. Further failed attempts to capture the fortress were made in 1655, 1658, 1661, and 1684.</p><br>
<p>By 1700 the fortifications were not in a good state and the fortress was only manned by 14 soldiers.</p><br>
<p>The Venetians remained in charge until 1715 during the last Ottoman–Venetian war when, long after the rest of the Cyclades had fallen to the Turks, it was besieged by a Turkish force of 65 warships and 74 transports carrying 25,000 soldiers. Despite the fortress being regarded as unconquerable and seeming secure against the invaders the commander of the fortress negotiated terms and surrendered. The terms allowed all the Venetians on the island to leave with the Greeks forced to stay. The commander and his officers were accused of "treason after bribery" by the Venetian Republic and sentenced to death by swallowing liquid silver/having liquid silver poured on their bodies</p><br>
<p>Bernardo Balbi the rector (governor) of the island, was transferred to Venice and sentenced to life imprisonment for cowardice. The Ottomans almost completely dismantled the fortress and the town inside it within a period of 3 days.</p><br>
<p>The town on the mountain was previously known as Tinos (Tine or Tino to the Venetians) with the current town of Tinos previously known as San Nicolò. The name Exomvourgo derives from the Greek exo apo to bourgo meaning "outside the burg".</p><br>
<h2>Sacred Heart of Jesus</h2><br>
<p>The church of Iera Kardia Iisou (Sacred Heart of Jesus) is on the slopes of the mountain, it is now a Catholic monastery.</p><br>
<p>The church has a complicated history: originally the Cathedral of Saint Sofia stood within the walls of the fortress but after its destruction the Jesuit monks moved into a small church outside the walls and began to build a larger church next door. This was finished in 1725 and also dedicated to Saint Sofia. The Jesuits later left the church and it fell into disrepair. In 1895 the church was restored and renamed the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Today the church is a site of pilgrimage and hosts visitors from around the world.</p><br>

There are a number of walking trails near the falls. Near the falls is a car park, public toilets, and a picnic shelter with a gas barbecue.</p><br>
<p>The falls have a 50 m drop.</p><br>
<p>There is not much drainage on Gibraltar Falls, though water will still fall from the falls during drought conditions.</p><br>
<p>Three Glossy Black-Cockatoos were spotted at the falls in November 2000. These birds are not frequently found in the territory.</p><br>
<p>The falls were depicted in the 1966 oil painting titled Rescue at Gibraltar Falls, by John Perceval, with Australian National University landscape architect serving as a model for the figure found in the painting. Bushwalks used to take place to get to the falls. The Australian Heritage Commission commissioned a report on the falls called "An archaeological investigation of the Gibraltar Falls recreation area, A.C.T." Axe grinding grooves have been found at the falls.</p><br>
<h2>Fauna and Flora</h2><br>
<p>The falls is a habitat of the ACT rare Austral pillwort,</p><br>
<h2>Gibralter Falls / Woods Reserve Area</h2><br>
<p>The falls is part of the Gilbralter Falls / Woods Reserve Area that is listed on the Register of the National Estate and the ACT National Heritage of Australia list. It is about 170ha in area and is located about 12km West North-west of Tharwa.</p><br>
<p>Gibraltar Peak is a mountain with an elevation of 1,038 m that is located within the Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve, approximately 26.4 km from Canberra, in the Australian Capital Territory of Australia. Gibraltar Peak is the 45th highest mountain in the Australian Capital Territory. There are two tracks leading up to the summit of the mountain, the longer being 13 km and the shorter being 8 km.</p><br>
<h2>Location and features</h2><br>
<p>Canberra is the closest city to Gibraltar Peak at approximately 26.4 km away. The nearest point of road access to the summit is an unsealed road 170 m from the summit.</p><br>
<p>Gibraltar Peak is located 1,038 m</p><br>
<h3>Vegetation and wildlife</h3><br>
<p>Eastern grey kangaroos live on the peak.</p><br>
<h2>Hiking routes and activity</h2><br>
<p>There are two tracks leading up to the summit of Gibraltar Peak, one is an 8 km return walk from the Dalsetta car park; the other is 13 km return journey via the Birrigai Time Trail and the visitor centre. The track leading up to the peak was created by Makin Trax, that won an award for its work in 2012. A viewing platform was built near the mountain.</p><br>
<p>Organised bushwalks have been done at the peak.</p><br>
<p>People have illegally dumped garbage near the peak. During the 1970s, Australian climbers including Bryden Allen, Joe Friend, John Fantini and Keith Bell were climbing Gibraltar Peak and other mountains in the area. During the 1980s, Antipodean Atrocities was created at the peak as a climbing route up the mountain.</p><br>
<p>The Belton Depot, located in Belton, Anderson County, South Carolina was constructed by the Southern Railway company around 1910 and was listed in the National Historic Register on August 13, 1979. Historically known as the Southern Railway Combined Depot, it replaced several small buildings used by the company.</p><br>
<p>Due to its location near the town square of Belton, South Carolina, it was an important focal point of the area. After the loss of passenger service in the 1960s and a slowdown in freight shipping, the depot was abandoned by the rail company and acquired by the city. Restoration efforts were completed in 1983 and a portion of the depot was used as a branch of the Anderson County Library.</p><br>
<p>The Belton Area Museum Association was granted ownership of the depot in 2001 and after the library moved to a new building in 2004, a three-year-long process of fundraising, rehabilitation and renovation of the building was undertaken. After the completion in 2006, the depot became the new home to the Ruth Drake Museum and the South Carolina Tennis Hall of Fame Museum.</p><br>
<p>The MBA Building, or Modern Brotherhood of America Building, also known as the Brick and Tile Building, is a large office building in Mason City, Iowa, built in 1916-1917 for the Modern Brotherhood of America, a fraternal lodge. The MBA&#39;s primary purpose was to provide life insurance to its members, and the building housed those operations.</p><br>
<h2>Modern Brotherhood of America</h2><br>
<p>The Modern Brotherhood of America was founded in Tipton, Iowa on April 5, 1897. One of its founders, and Supreme President for its first 22 years was Thomas B. Hanley (1852-1919), a former mayor of Tipton, as well as an active Pythian and Mason. Membership reached 130,000 during the period of cheap rates, but fell off in the 1910s as the Order attempted to institute actuarially sound rates and was hit by the First World War and the influenza epidemic. Nevertheless, it was during this period that the M.B.A. building was acquired.</p><br>
<p>By 1923 the M.B.A. had 48,610 benefit members every state except the Deep South (Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas and Louisiana) and Canada. While the M.B.A didn&#39;t mention anything about rituals or secrets in their propaganda literature, they did have a ritual that was adopted at their Supreme Lodge in December 1901.</p><br>
<p>Officers of the order included the Supreme President, Supreme Vice-President, Supreme Treasurer, Supreme Physician, Supreme Chaplain, Supreme Conductor, Supreme Watchman, Supreme Sentry, General Attorney and the Board of Directors. The headquarters were called the "Supreme Office". They also published a newspaper Modern Brotherhood</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The MBA Building was built on the site of a former Elks lodge in downtown Mason City. The building was designed by architects Bell & Bentley of Minneapolis. Work began on the new building on May 18, 1916, and the building was dedicated on June 6 and 7 1917, with a speech by former USA president William Howard Taft. The Modern Brotherhood of America merged with the Independent Order of Foresters, who sold the building in 1948 to the Mason City Brick and Tile Company, who renamed it after the company. The building was again sold in 1973 to State Street Investment, which undertook a renovation. The building was sold again in 2000.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The steel-framed MBA Building is an eight-story early twentieth-century commercial building, designed according to Classical Revival principals with a base, shaft and capital. The two primary street facades are arranged in five bays each. The ground floor comprises the base, and is clad in granite with wide glazed storefront openings. The second floor is clad in terra cotta, capping the base with a cornice. The third through seventh floors are clad in lighter-colored terra cotta, with pilasters in the three central bays forming an analogue to the fluting of a column&#39;s shaft, with sash windows in between the pilasters. At the tops of the pilasters a series of sixteen electric light fixtures mark the ends of the bays. Flat panels of terra cotta clad the corner bays, framing the central bays. A terra cotta cornice separates the seventh floor from the eighth, with arched tops to the central bays. The eighth floor has terra cotta panels separating the windows, with a deep terra cotta cornice over all to complete the capital. The non-street facades are plain brick. Metal fire escapes have been added to provide additional means of egress.</p><br>
<p>The MBA Building is U-shaped above the second floor, the indentation from the rear providing an opportunity for light and air to reach the center of the building. There are two elevators in the middle of the building at the end of the indentation, with the unusual feature of windows into their shafts. An open stair flanks the elevators. Circulation on the upper floors consists of a double-loaded corridor following the shape of the U. The second floor is rectangular in plan, with internal circulation and glass storefronts appropriate for retail stores. The first floor features a lobby oriented to the stairs and elevator, with marble walls and Ionic pilasters. The lobby&#39;s plaster ceiling is beamed and detailed. The original wood and glass vestibule enclosures have survived. Lobby materials are echoed on the upper floors with marble base and oak wainscoting.</p><br>
<p>The top floor was the Modern Brotherhood of America headquarters, where traces of Classical Revival details have survived. The building has two basements. The upper basement contains some leasable space, while the lower basement is purely for utilities.</p><br>
<p>The MBA Building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 12, 2002.</p><br>
<p>St. Patrick Catholic Church is a parish of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Portland in Oregon in the Northwest District of Portland, Oregon, United States. The historic church building is the oldest still used as such in Portland. In 1974, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as St. Patrick&#39;s Roman Catholic Church and Rectory.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The church was originally designed by Otto Kleemann in the Second Renaissance Revival style; it is the only remaining Kleemann church in Portland. The original plans called for a brick structure, but with the foundation already laid, the material was changed to Clackamas County basalt.</p><br>
<p>The church is cruciform, with an Italianate hipped dome and spire rising 35 feet above the ridge of the roof. The bays are separated by Ionic pilasters extending from the basement to the entablature.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the church was not completed until 1914, when the plaster and lath were decorated with murals in honor of the churchs silver jubilee. Swiss artist Phillip Staehli was commissioned to reproduce pictures from Trinity College, Dublin; he painted a fresco of the Transfiguration of Jesus above the tabernacle and altar, flanked by lifesize paintings of Saint Patrick and Saint Bridget. Along the nave are frescoes of the principal saints of Ireland, most of which survive: Columba, Kieran, Fridolin, Canice, Colman, Gall, Virgilius, Columbkille, Brendan, Jarith, Lawrence OToole, Malachy, and Ailbe.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The community was established in 1885 by Archbishop William Hickley Gross to serve the mostly Irish Catholic lumber and dockworkers in the area, located in the industrial areas of Slabtown and what is now called the Pearl District. A church and school, dedicated to the Sacred Heart, were opened as a mission of the cathedral. The cornerstone for the new church was laid on Saint Patricks Day 1889; still unfinished, it was dedicated two years later. St. Patricks built a Catholic school in 1918, operated by the Sisters of Mercy and after 1925, by the School Sisters of St. Francis. In addition to the Irish community, the parish registry swelled with new immigrants from Croatia, Slovakia, and Slovenia.</p><br>
<p>As the neighborhood became more industrialized, it depopulated, and attendance fell. The school closed in 1957. The construction of the Fremont Bridge and Interstate 405 further disrupted the neighborhood, and by 1972, the parish, with only 60 registered families, had reverted to a mission church under the supervision of St. Birgitta in Linnton. In 1980, Bishop Paul E. Waldschmidt selected the church to serve the Hispanic population of Portland. In June 1985, St. Patrick&#39;s also became home to the Latin choir Cantores in Ecclesia. These set the stage for the revival of the parish, which celebrated its centennial in 1989.</p><br>

<p>A wedding scene in the 2004 film What the Bleep Do We Know was filmed at St. Patrick&#39;s.</p><br>
<p>Praia da Arrifana is a beach within the Municipality of Aljezur, in the Algarve, Portugal. The beach is on the western Seaboard in the north west of the Algarve. The beach is 6.0 mi south south west of the village of Aljezur, and is 71.0 mi north west, by road, from the regions capital of Faro. The beach of Praia da Arrifana is inside the Vicentine Coast Natural Park, an area of outstanding natural beauty. Praia da Arrifana has been designated a blue Flag beach .</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The sand on Praia da Arrifana is of pale golden fine sand and is approximately 500 meters long. The beach is backed by tall cliffs which afford the beach some protection from the ravages of the Atlantic Ocean. Even so, this is a very popular beach for surfing and body surfing. The beach is accessed by a boardwalk steps, down to the beach from the village. At the bottom of the village there is a concrete slope which provides easy access for wheelchair users and for boats etc.</p><br>
<p>On the north west side of the bay there is the small fishing village of Arrifana and its small fishing harbour.</p><br>
<h3>Castle Arrifana ruins</h3><br>
<p>On the northern headland above the beach are the ruins of Castle Arrifana. The 12th century ruins are thought to once have been the residence of Abu-l-Qasim Ahmad ibn al-Husayn ibn Qasi who was a prince of the first independent Kingdom of Algarve. The prince came to this fortification away from the then capital of Silves to devote himself to writing, thought and contemplation. Recent archaeological research has discovered the ruins of several buildings on this site in two areas. The buildings discovered include three mosques, with their Qibla and Mihrab. In the first area there are the remains of a mosque with another adjoing mosque. In the second area are further structures of an unknown use.</p><br>
<h2>Facilities</h2><br>
<p>During the summer season the beach is patrolled by lifeguards. There are toilets and showers close to the car park. There is also a public telephone. In the village Arrifana there are several good restaurants and bars, such as "Restaurante Oceano", "O Paulo", "Brisamar", Restaurant Praia Arrifana Restaurant Fortaleza&#39;.</p><br>
<h2>Getting there</h2><br>
<p>From the town of Lagos take the RN 120 road north towards Sines, Just before the village of Aljezur turn left, signposted to Vale da Telha, Praia do monte Clérigo and a brown sign posted to Praia da Arrifana. At the top of the hill turn left and follow the road round to the Praia da Arrifana.</p><br>
<p>The Fallenbacherspitze  in the Austrian state of Tyrol is a 2,723-metre-high rock summit in the Lechtal Alps. Due to its remoteness and lack of signed routes, the mountain is not climbed very often.</p><br>
<h2>Location and area</h2><br>
<p>The Fallenbacherspitze lies in the middle of the Lechtal Alps, about eight kilometres south of Bach. Apart from its main summit (2,723 m), the massif has another, clearly lower summit on the southeast ridge, the Gamskarlespitze (2,469 m). It is bounded to the east and south by the Alperschontal valley, that runs from the Madau. To the southwest it continues via the wind gap of Gamskarscharte and the Fallenbacher Turm (2,704 m) to the Feuerspitze (2,852 m). The cirque of Das Fallenbacher Kar lies on the west flank of the mountain and leads to the Mittelrücken (2,625 m) and the Holzgauer Wetterspitze (2,895 m). In the valley of Fallenbacher Tal north of the mountain lies a small lake, the Fallenbacher See. Further away from the Fallenbacherspitze lies the Vorderseespitze (2,889 m) to the southwest and the Freispitze (2,884 m) to the east, on the other side of the Alperschontal. In summary, several of the largest and most striking summits of the Lechtal Alps are concentrated within a radius of less than 3 kilometres around the Fallenbacherspitze.</p><br>
<h2>Bases and tours</h2><br>
<p>The Fallenbacherspitze is climbed relatively rarely. Suitable bases for an ascent are Bach or Madau. The simplest, albeit unsigned, route runs from the Alperschontal via the Gamskarle and the southwest ridge to the plateau-like summit. Its difficulty is mainly level I, in one place it reaches level II on the UIAA scale.</p><br>

<p>Praia da Pipa is a beach within the Municipality of Aljezur, in the Algarve, Portugal. The beach is on the western Seaboard in the north west of the Algarve. The beach is 6.8 mi south south west of the village of Aljezur, and is 71.7 mi north west, by road, from the regions capital of Faro. The beach of Praia da Pipa is inside the Vicentine Coast Natural Park, an area of outstanding natural beauty.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Praia da Pipa is a small sandy beach with steep cliffs to the rear and some interesting rock formations. The beach has very few visitors as it is very difficult to access from the landward side and is mainly visited by fishermen by boat. The beach is sometimes called Medo da Pipa. At the southern end of the beach the coastline curves westward to a rock point which is called the Ponta da Atalaia.</p><br>
<h3>Archaeological site</h3><br>
<p>On the cliff top of Ponta da Atalaia is the site of a Moorish archaeological site. What remains here is part of the Castle Arrifana site, which is split into two areas. The archaeologist discovered on this site the ruins of several buildings include three mosques, with their Qibla and Mihrab.</p><br>
<p>The Gibraltar Range is a mountain range in the Northern Tablelands region of New South Wales, Australia. The range extends off the Great Dividing Range at Bald Nob about 25 km east northeast of and trends generally east northeast and north northeast for about 100 km to the junction of Timbarra and Clarence rivers. It forms the watershed between these two rivers.</p><br>
<p>Within the range is the Gibraltar Range National Park. Mines in the area have produced amalgamated ores of titanium, tin, gold, nickel, rhodium and iron. Recently, there have been forest fires or threats of forest fires in the Gibraltar Range.</p><br>
<h2>Location and features</h2><br>
<p>The Gibraltar Range is located in the northeastern part of New South Wales. The mountain range is the site of the Gibraltar Range National Park, one of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia. The mountains are found in the Clarence Valley Council area. The range is inland of Grafton. The Gwydir Highway runs through the range and its national park.</p><br>
<p>The Gibraltar Range is defined by its high ridges and steep valleys that intersect plateaus. They were created in the middle of the Palaeozoic Era. Volcanoes found in the range date to the Late Permian (Lopingian) Epoch, with granite in the range dating to the Permo-Triassic.</p><br>
<p>The Gibraltar Range gets much of rain. The area gets a mean annual rainfall of 1,146 mm with a mean annual run-off of 624 mm and mean annual run-off as a percentage of annual rainfall of 54 mm. The ranges have rock outcroppings and heath. The area is a Northeast Forest Lands. Amalgamated ores of titanium, tin, gold, nickel, rhodium and iron are found within the range.</p><br>
<p>Thickly forested highland areas cover part of the mountains, and there are isolated populations of Waratah. The rufous scrub-bird lives in the Gibraltar Range, although its population was slightly reduced due to a fire in 2002. The mountain range is also home to the Parma wallaby. During the 1850s, European fruit trees flourished at the base of the range.</p><br>
<h2>Recent history</h2><br>
<p>In the 1850s, there were mines in the mountains. In 1890s and 1900s, an area of the mountain range had been reserved for forestry. Construction of the first "sealed road" over the mountain range began in 1960. It allowed the first bicycle race from the town of Grafton on the East Coast to the town of Inverell on the Northern Tablelands. In 2002, forest fires were burning in the Gibraltar Ranges. In late 2007, two prison escapees were last spotted near the ranges and the police were looking for them. In October 2009, parts of the Gibraltar Range were closed because of the potential for bushfires.</p><br>
<p>Denver Downs Farmstead, which is also known as Garrison Farm, is the outskirts of Anderson, South Carolina. The farm is historically and architecturally significant as an extant working farm dating to 1872. The farmstead consists of 464 acres, but out of this total, only 20 acres are considered to be part of this Historic Register nomination. In 1974, the farmstead was recognized as a “Century Farm,” having been owned and operated by the same family for 100 years. The main house is a large Colonial Revival farmhouse that features white clapboard siding, a metal roof, and a wraparound porch. The farmstead is bordered on one side by the busy Clemson Highway, but it is possible to enjoy quieter views of this landmark by traveling on one of the public roads that travels through the farm. Denver Downs Farmstead was listed in the National Register March 7, 2007.</p><br>
<p>The Cimarron County Courthouse is the historic courthouse serving Cimarron County, Oklahoma, located in Boise City. The courthouse was designed by M.C. Parker in the Classical Revival and Neoclassical styles and built in red brick by Strong & Froman. The building opened in 1926 after the previous wood frame courthouse burned down. On August 23, 1984, the courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>In 1943, an Army Air Forces training mission accidentally bombed the courthouse. The training unit, which mistook the courthouse for its intended target, dropped six practice bombs near the building. All but one of the bombs exploded, though they did little damage as they were made of dynamite and sand; the city preserved the unexploded bomb. Boise City was once thought to be the only USA city bombed by its own military, though similar incidents have since been discovered.</p><br>
<p>Fontbrégoua Cave is an archaeological site located in Provence, Southeastern France. It was used by humans in the fifth and fourth millennia BCE, in what is now known as the Early and Middle Neolithic. A temporary residential site, it was used by Neolithic agriculturalists as a storage area for their herds of goats and sheep, and also contained a number of bone depositions, containing the remains of domestic species, wild animals, and humans. The inclusion of the latter of these deposits led the archaeological team studying the site to propose that cannibalism had taken place at Fontbrégoua, although other archaeologists have instead suggested that they represent evidence of secondary burial.</p><br>
<p>The original excavators of the site, under the leadership of Paola Villa, argued that the treatment of human remains at the site constituted strong evidence of cannibalism. This conclusion was criticised by M.P. Pickering, who instead suggested that the evidence was better explained by defleshing rituals involved in secondary burial, drawing ethnographic comparisons with certain Indigenous Australian practices. Pickering&#39;s views were supported by the archaeologist Paul Bahn, but in turn came under counter-criticisms from Villa.</p><br>
<h2>Location and context</h2><br>
<p>The cave is located in the south-east of France, approximately 100km away from Marseille and the Mediterranean coast.</p><br>
<p>In Provence and Liguria during the Impresso-Cardial period (c. 6th millennium BCE), rock shelters and caves were usually used as seasonal herding and hunting locations. It has thus been suggested that Fontbrégoua and other similar caves were seasonal shelters located some distance from the open-air villages which were at the centre of a community&#39;s territory.</p><br>
<h2>Layout</h2><br>
<p>The cave is large and well-lit, allowing easy access inside. Archaeologists investigating the site decided to divide the cave into three distinct areas: the porch, the main room, and the lower room, with skeletal and material finds being uncovered in each area.</p><br>
<p>The cave was occupied by humans from the Upper Palaeolithic period through to the end of the Neolithic.</p><br>
<p>From the stratigraphic and cultural evidence, archaeologists suggested that the cave was used as a temporary residential camp for the local agricultural population during the 5th and 4th millennia BCE.</p><br>
<p>The Neolithic people who lived in the region sometimes used the cave for storing their herds of goat and sheep, as evidenced by layers of burnt ovicaprine faeces. These people had access to domestic cereals, pottery, personal ornaments and lithic tools made out on non-local flint.</p><br>
<p>From the evidence in the cave, archaeologists argued that over this period, there was a transformation in the subsistence of the local population; in the Early Neolithic, it appeared that they were making use of hunting and herding in equal part, but that by the Middle Neolithic they had placed a far greater emphasis on the herding of sheep and goats, with hunting playing only a minor role.</p><br>
<h2>Human remains</h2><br>
<p>The site at the cave is well known for the human remains that were found there. These include the remains of seven adults, six children, one individual of indeterminate age, as well as the cranial and post-cranial remains of at least seven further humans. No information on the sex of these individuals has been ascertained. Examination of stable isotopes in these bones suggested that they all had a similar diet, with terrestrial animals having been the major source of protein.</p><br>
<p>Collagen extracted from the bones by archaeologists was dated through accelerator mass spectrometry. This revealed that not all of the human burials were contemporary with each other, but rather had been placed into the cave at various intervals over a long period of time.</p><br>
<h3>Cannibalism or secondary burial?</h3><br>
<p>The team who originally excavated at the site published a 1986 paper in the journal Science entitled "Cannibalism in the Neolithic." They argued that the bone evidence from the human remains at Fontbrégoua was consistent with a situation in which these humans were "butchered, processed, and probably eaten" in a manner that closely paralleled the treatment of both wild and domesticated animals at the site.</p><br>
<p>The case for cannibalism was disputed by the archaeologist Michael P. Pickering in a 1989 paper published in Australian Archaeology. He considered it "more likely" that the remains were the result of a mortuary rite in which the corpses were left to decompose before being de-fleshed and then buried. He highlighted ethnographic parallels with the mortuary practices of some Indigenous Australian societies, although stressed that he was not arguing for direct analogy between the Indigenous Australians of the 20th century and the people of Neolithic France. Discussing the ethnographic accounts of W.E. Roth undertaken in North Queensland during the early 20th century in which corpses were left in trees or on platforms to decompose before burial, he also highlights those produced by A. McDonald in the 1870s in which Indigenous communities were recorded de-fleshing the bones prior to burial. Pickering argues that this method would leave very similar traces on the remains to those uncovered at Fontbrégoua. Although he does not rule out cannibalism as a possibility at the site, he did maintain that it was only one possibility, with de-fleshed secondary burials being another. Pickering was supported in his hypothesis by the European prehistorian Paul Bahn, who published a short one-page article in the journal Nature in 1990, in which he proclaimed that the case for cannibalism at Fontbrégoua must be considered "not proven."</p><br>
<p>In a 1992 paper published in the Evolutionary Anthropology journal, Villa critiqued Pickerings ideas, reiterating her position that the remains at the site represented "the only well-documented case of cannibalism in European prehistory". Rejecting Pickerings claims, she remarks that secondary burial does not represent a "meaningful alternative" to cannibalism, which remained the "simplest and most satisfactory explanation" for the evidence found in the cave. She argues that had this been a case of secondary burial, then the human remains would not have been treated exactly the same as the animal remains, as they had been. She then notes that the concept of secondary burial is not innately more plausible than cannibalism in this scenario because there is no known tradition of secondary burial anywhere else in Europe. Villa also questions the accuracy of the ethnographic accounts that Pickering draws on, noting that several of them actually believed that the Australian mortuary practices that they described constituted evidence for cannibalism.</p><br>
<p>Commenting on the site in 1992, the archaeologist Tim White described it as exhibiting "excellent" evidence of cannibalism, however he noted that the preservation of contextual evidence allowing for such an interpretation was "unique".</p><br>
<h2>Archaeological investigation</h2><br>
<p>The cave was excavated by André Taxil between 1948 and 1960 and then by Jean Courtin during the 1970s.</p><br>
<p>Praia do Penedo is a beach within the Municipality of Aljezur, in the Algarve, Portugal. The beach is on the western Seaboard in the north west of the Algarve. The beach is 6.7 mi south west of the village of Aljezur, and is 65.6 mi north west, by road, from the regions capital of Faro. The beach of Praia do Penedo is inside the Vicentine Coast Natural Park, an area of outstanding natural beauty.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The beach of Praia do Penedo is dominated by steep cliffs covered in vegetation and not a building to be seen. This beach consists of pebbles and area of sand with a few rock formations. The beach is mainly used by beach fishermen but is also frequented by a few surfers. From the beach looking north west is the stacked rock island of Pedra da Agulha.</p><br>
<h2>Getting there</h2><br>
<p>This is a difficult beach to find, and the best way to get here is via the beach to the south which is called Praia do Canal. You must turn west of the EN128 in to a lane with a handwritten signpost of which only the first short length is tarmac. To get to this beach you must drive, ideally in a 4X4, for about 5 km on a rutted track which is in bad shape in places.</p><br>
<p>As you near the coast the track descends into a small valley. At the end of this valley is Praia do Canal where you can park. To get to Praia do Penedo head north from here, either via the beach at low tide or there are trails over the cliffs.</p><br>
<p>Goose Lake, in the USA state of Washington, is located within the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. Travel to Goose Lake is by dirt road, along Forest Road 60, also called the Carson Guler Road, typically free of snow by late June. Fed by several streams, Goose Lake was dammed by a lava flow from Big Lava Bed, directly to the south. The lake is 58 acres in size and includes a boat launch and campground with 18 primitive campsites. Popular for fishing in summer and early fall, Goose Lake contains brook, brown, and coastal cutthroat trout.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Goose Lake formed when the Big Lava Bed dammed up a nearby stream. The blocked stream formed the lake. On the southeast side of the lake, there is a ghostly stand of dead trees rising from the water.</p><br>
<h2>Recreation</h2><br>
<p>The lake is a popular spot for brook, brown and coastal cutthroat trout fishing. Goose Lake Campground offers a concrete boat ramp for launching small boats, kayaks and canoes. The campground also offers activities such as camping, hiking, and berry picking. Nearby places include the Big Lava Bed, south of the campground; a trail takes hikers through a landscape dotted by pine forest and basalt lava formations. The Indian Heaven Wilderness is located nearby and is known for its abundant huckleberries, meadowlands and pine forests, lakes, and as well as a variety of wildlife. Huckleberry picking is a popular pastime too.</p><br>
<h2>Accessibility</h2><br>
<p>The lake is reached via 8 miles of narrow gravel road from the east from Trout Lake on State Route 141 north from SR 14, to the town of Trout Lake. Continue through the town on State Route 141 to where it ends and Forest Route 24 begins. Drive on Forest Route 24 to the junction with Forest Route 60 (Carson Guler Road) and follow Forest Route 60 (Carson Guler Road) for 1 mile to Goose Lake.</p><br>
<p>From the West, Carson, take the Wind River Righway, north to the Old State Highway.

<p>The Administration Building, Decatur Baptist College, at 1602 S. Trinity St. in Decatur, Texas, and overlooking the town, was built in 1893. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.</p><br>
<p>It was a historic building of the Decatur Baptist College, which was founded in 1891 and which held classes during 1892-93 in an opera house space above a grocery store in Decatur. After the building was completed in 1893, it had 149 enrolled students and eight faculty in the 1893-94 school year. The college went bankrupt in 1896, and reorganized as Decatur Baptist Junior College, the first private junior college in the USA Much later it moved to Dallas in 1964 and became Dallas Baptist College.</p><br>
<p>It is a three-story limestone building. It included 15 rooms and a chapel.</p><br>
<p>Mushaway Peak is a small but conspicuous butte located 4 mi southeast of Gail in central Borden County, Texas. It is one of the region&#39;s most venerable landmarks.</p><br>
<p>The summit of this peak rises to an altitude of 2,851 ft above sea level, which is roughly the same altitude as the High Plains of the Llano Estacado 10 mi to the northwest. Mushaway Peak is in fact an erosional remnant of what was once a much larger Llano Estacado that has gradually retreated by the process of headward erosion. Its resistant cap has protected its underlying sediments, which have remained intact while surrounding sediments have been eroded away by Grape Creek and Bull Creek, two tributaries of the upper Colorado River.</p><br>
<h2>Proper name</h2><br>
<p>Mushaway Peak has been known by various names, including: Cordova Mountain, Cordova Peak, De Corde Peak, Mount Irwin, Mochaquo Mountain, Muchakooago Peak, Mucha Koo Ave, Mucha Kooay Mountain, Muchakooayo Peak, Muchakooay Peak, Mucha Koody Mountain, Mucha Kooga, Muchakooga Peak, Muchakooyo Peak, Mucha Kowa Peak, Mucha Koway Peak, Muchaque Peak, or simply Old Baldy. In a 1936 decision of the United States Board on Geographical Names, "Muchakooay Peak" was recommended as proper orthography. However, the 1936 decision was revised in 1973 when "Mushaway Peak" was selected as the official name of this geographic feature.</p><br>
<p>Lake DeForest, also called DeForest Lake, is a reservoir in Clarkstown, New York, created in 1956 by impounding the Hackensack River, which is a principal part of the water supply for Rockland County, New York and Northern New Jersey, mainly Bergen and Hudson counties. The reservoir is owned and operated by Suez North America, and is the most upstream of its reservoirs along the river&#39;s watershed, the others being Lake Tappan, the Woodcliff Lake Reservoir, and the Oradell Reservoir. It has a storage capacity of 5.6 billion gallons. Swimming and bathing are disallowed because the water is reserved for potable use. The lake is traversed by a causeway carrying Congers Road .</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The lake was developed by an interstate partnership of the Hackensack Water Company (of New Jersey) and the Spring Valley Water Company (of Spring Valley, New York), to provide water on both sides of the state line.</p><br>
<p>Adrian Leiby&#39;s monograph, The Hackensack Water Company, 1869-1969, describes the conception of the lake (owing chiefly to George F. Wieghardt, chief engineer from 1938 to 1954); the sense that the proposed lake needed to be built soon, before any ill-advised new housing developments on the swampy lowlands would preclude it; and the difficulty in refuting conspiracy theories among the public that the proposed lake was a plan by New Jersey thieves to steal water from New York state or to create miles of "smelly mud flats" in Clarkstown. By the time of a severe drought in 1963-65, Leiby noted, public approval of the attractive lake and the water security it provided was nearly universal; writing in 1969, he said, "Twelve years later it is hard to believe that there is a single person in the County who would willingly see DeForest Lake drained and its land filled with development houses."</p><br>
<p>The lake is named after Henry L. deForest, president of Hackensack Water Company from 1936 to 1950, under whose presidency the lake was conceived; at the time that the completed lake was dedicated on March 13, 1957, Henry L. deForest had recently died. Henry&#39;s father, Robert W. deForest, had led the Hackensack Water Company from 1881 to 1926.</p><br>
<p>The Hackensack Water Company and the Spring Valley Water Company had long cooperated, the former being a chief stockholder of the latter; they were merged into United Water Resources in the 1980s, which was later acquired by Suez North America.</p><br>

<p>La Brava is a lake in the eastearn part of the Balcarce Partido in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. It lies just on the border with General Pueyrredón, 40 km northwest of the city of Mar del Plata and 25 km east of the town of Balcarce. Located within Mount La Brava, the lake area is privately owned, although open to the public for fishing and camping. There are several campsites around the lake, like Ruca Lauquen on the east coast and the Fishing Club Balcarce on the north, both of them with recreational facilities and boat piers. The lake is described as a rift lake or tectonic lake, probably a natural reservoir formed by dunes. La Brava is the habitat of a number of bird species, like swans, ducks, coots, herons and gulls. Capybaras and otters dwell in its shores. The lake also support a fish community dominated by the silverside and the dentudo. The landscape has been compared with that of the lakes of western Patagonia.</p><br>
<p>The Jens Jensen Summer House and Studio at 930-950 Dean Ave. in Highland Park, Illinois is associated with landscape architect Jens Jensen. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Jens Jensen was a Danish immigrant who rose from a laborer for the West Park Commission in Chicago, Illinois to its general superintendent. He was serving in this role in 1908, when he decided to build a summer house in Highland Park. Jensen named the studio "The Clearing" and spent the next seven years designing it.</p><br>
<p>Upon its completion in 1915, Jensen gradually moved his operations from Chicago to his new Highland Park estate. By 1920, when he left the West Park Commission, Jensen had closed his Chicago office and was operating solely from Highland Park. It was on his estate grounds that Jensen first experimented with the "council ring&quot this stone circle bench design would become one of Jensens most enduring designs. Jensens daughter and her husband, Marshall Johnson, moved there in 1920.</p><br>
<p>Jensen lived at his Highland Park until the early 1930s, when he moved to nearby Wilmette, Illinois. He maintained operations at the studio until 1934, when he established The Clearing in Ellison Bay, Wisconsin. Houses designed at the Highland Park estate include the Ernest Loeb House and the Harold Florsheim House. As his Chicago studio has since been demolished, the Highland Park house and studio remains as the office most closely associated with Jensen&#39;s career. The two buildings and the property were recognized by the National Park Service with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places on June 19, 1991.</p><br>
<p>Iron Hill is a prominent geographical feature in the vicinity of Newark, Delaware, in the United States. With a peak elevation of 328 ft it is the highest hill in Delaware, though not the state&#39;s highest point as the Piedmont plateau region near Centreville reaches a higher elevation of 448 ft at Ebright Azimuth. The hill is named for its iron deposits, which were mined over a 200-year period during the 18th and 19th centuries. Iron Hill is part of a New Castle County park known as Iron Hill Park.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Iron Hill is located just south of Newark in Pencader Hundred, with the summit lying south of Interstate 95 and west of Delaware Route 896. It is the easternmost and highest of three geologically similar peaks, together with neighboring Chestnut Hill and Gray&#39;s Hill (across the border in Maryland).</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>Iron Hill and the two neighboring hills are outlying Piedmont outcroppings, east of the fall line and surrounded by the relatively flat Atlantic coastal plain. The hills are igneous intrusions of "Iron Hill Gabbro", a coarse and dark-colored rock composed mainly of plagioclase, pyroxenes, and olivine. The rock contains significant iron oxide deposits in the form of hematite, goethite, and limonite, forming the basis for historical iron mining activity. Jasper is also present and was used for toolmaking by prehistoric inhabitants of the area.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Human activity in the area dates to prehistoric times, when local Native American populations quarried jasper from Iron Hill to make arrowheads and other stone tools. The location was first referred to in print on Augustine Herman&#39;s 1670 map of Virginia and Maryland, where it was labeled "Yron Hill". In 1701 the hill was included in the 30,000 acre Welsh Tract, granted by William Penn to a group of settlers fleeing religious persecution in Wales. The Welsh settlers were familiar with ironworking and mining techniques, and soon commenced open-pit mining operations on Iron Hill.</p><br>
<p>During the Revolutionary War, Iron Hill and the surrounding area were the site of the Battle of Cooch&#39;s Bridge (also known as the Battle of Iron Hill) in September 1777. George Washington ascended the hill to observe enemy troop movements prior to the battle, which was possible at the time due to deforestation; subsequent regrowth has since obscured the view from the summit.</p><br>
<p>Mining on Iron Hill continued until the late 19th century, though extraction of the low-grade ore proved minimally profitable and many of the ventures ended in bankruptcy. The last mining operation on Iron Hill was run by J.P. Whitaker, who shipped the ore to Principio Furnace in Maryland for smelting. African-American mine workers and their descendants continued to inhabit the area, and in 1923 Pierre S. du Pont funded the construction of Iron Hill School No. 112C to serve this population. The school remained in operation until Delaware public schools were desegregated in 1965 and now houses the Iron Hill Museum. Much of the hill is now a wooded recreation area, Iron Hill Park.</p><br>
<p>The Holmes County Courthouse is a historic government building in Millersburg, Ohio, United States. Built in the late nineteenth century, it has been designated a historic site because of its architectural importance.</p><br>
<h2>Previous courthouses</h2><br>
<p>Established by an 1824 law and organized in the following year, Holmes County has possessed three courthouses, all of which have been located at the same site in Millersburg. which began in that year and was completed in 1886.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Constructed by Newark builders Hibbert and Schaus according to a design by J.W. Yost, this three-story courthouse comprises such elements as rough stone walls with smooth trim, a colonnaded porch with Ionic columns surrounding the main entrance, and a prominent pediment on the northern side. From its completion until the 1950s, the courthouse featured a statue of Lady Justice located atop the northern pediment, but its deterioration led local officials to place it in storage for many years until area lawyers paid for its restoration. Lesser elements of the buildings architecture include steel details, ornamental columns and pilasters closer to the mansard roof, plastered ceilings, a state of Lady Justice in the center of the tiled floor in the buildings lobby, and towers on the courthouses corners. A prominent clock is located in the tower of the courthouse. Today, the Holmes County Courthouse remains the countys center of government. Courtrooms in the building serve as meeting places for the Holmes County Court of Common Pleas, along with other courts. Because of the county&#39;s exceptionally large Amish population, the courthouse features a parking area with use restricted to horses and buggies.</p><br>
<h2>Historic designation</h2><br>
<p>Closely related to the courthouse is a jail, located on the lawn next to the courthouse. This Italianate structure is a rectangular brick building with a complex roofline. It predates the current courthouse, having been erected circa 1880. In 1974, the courthouse and jail were together listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying for inclusion because of their historically significant architecture. Ten years later, much of downtown Millersburg was designated a historic district, the Millersburg Historic District, and listed on the National Register; at the core of the district is the area around the courthouse at the junction of Clay and Jackson Streets.</p><br>
<p>Upper Aquetong Valley Historic District is a national historic district located in Solebury Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The district includes 55 contributing buildings, 3 contributing sites, and 11 contributing structures along Meeting House Road and the upper branch of Aquetong Creek. It overlaps with the Honey Hollow Watershed National Historic Landmark. The district encompasses a dozen farmsteads composed of 18th and 19th century farmhouses with their associated outbuildings. A number of the houses exhibit vernacular Federal and Georgian style details. Architecturally notable buildings include the Solebury Meeting House  and the Federal style John Blackfan House .</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<p>Coffin Point Plantation, is a historic plantation house located in the Frogmore area of Beaufort County, South Carolina, USA, was once a prosperous Sea Island plantation. It is estimated that the home was built around 1801, and like many early 19th century homes in the area, features a tabby foundation. One of the homes more striking features is the one-half mile avenue of oaks that leads to the home. Ebenezer Coffin, born in Boston in 1763, received 1120 acres and 63 chattel slaves from his father-in-law and had the house built on the property. In 1862, during the Civil War, the plantation was recorded as owning 260 slaves.</p><br>
<p>James Donald Cameron, a Republican USA Senator from Pennsylvania and former Secretary of War bought the plantation house in the early 1890s. Henry Adams described his visits to the Camerons at the plantation in his book The Education of Henry Adams.</p><br>
<p>The plantation was placed in the National Historic Register on August 28, 1975.</p><br>
<p>Upper Tamark lake is a reservoir on the border of Cornwall and Devon in south-west England. It is owned by South West Water and managed by the South West Lakes Trust. The reservoir serves the water supply in the Bude area of Cornwall and surrounding districts, including Clovelly, Bradworthy and Warbstow.</p><br>
<p>To the south (downstream on the River Tamar) is the older Lower Tamar Lake. The county boundary follows the line of the river as it was prior to the construction of the reservoir, therefore now within the lake, resulting in it being in both Devon and Cornwall.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The lake was planned as an expansion of the local water supply, and to avoid a potential drought in the area. Work on the lake began in May 1973 by W. C. French (Construction) Ltd. It was constructed by placing a concrete gravity dam across the edge of the lake to retain water. Work was mostly complete by 1975, and it was officially opened in October 1977. It is about 80 acre in area with a capacity of around 300 million gallons (1,400 million litres).</p><br>
<h2>Leisure</h2><br>
<p>The lake is a popular place for water sports, including sailing, windsurfing and kayaking. There is a visitors centre near the lake, with camping facilities. The Upper Tamar Sailing Club (UTLSC) is a group of regular sailors on the lake. It is a popular coarse fishing lake, with carp being a popular catch. The lake is an area of special protection from birds under the Protection of Birds Acts 1954.</p><br>
<p>The nearest bus station to the lakes is at Kilkhampton, 3 miles away.</p><br>
<p>Horton House  is a historic site on Riverview Drive in Jekyll Island, Georgia.</p><br>
<p>The tabby house was originally constructed in 1743 by Major William Horton, a top military aide to General James Oglethorpe. Horton also brewed beer in Georgia&#39;s first brewery (the ruins of which are a few hundred yards down the road). This structure has been meticulously preserved over the past 100 years as an example of coastal Georgia building techniques and as one of the oldest surviving buildings in the state. Across the street from the Horton House ruins is the du Bignon cemetery, a tabby wall surrounding the graves of five people Ann Amelia du Bignon, Joseph du Bignon, Marie Felicite Riffault, Hector deLiyannis, and George Harvey. Horton House, the Brewery Ruins, and the cemetery were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971. The house is one of the oldest surviving buildings in Georgia.</p><br>

<p>Faith Chapel is a historic chapel on Old Plantation Road in Jekyll Island, Georgia and was built in 1904. It was used as a non-denominational chapel until 1942. The state of Georgia purchased it along with Jekyll Island in 1947. It is administered by the Jekyll Island State Park Authority and was opened to the public in 1970. It has a wood "A" frame and a brick foundation. The interior and exterior walls are shingled, with gargoyles that are replicas of the ones at Notre Dame Cathedral. It has stained-glass windows. One is "David&#39;s Window" which was made by Louis Comfort Tiffany. Other stained glass windows are by Maitland Armstrong. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971 and it is open to the public.</p><br>
<p>Durham Mill and Furnace is a historic grist mill located in Durham Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The mill was built in 1820, on the foundations of Durham Furnace. The furnace was built in 1727 and remained in operation for 70 years. It produced pig and bar iron and during the American Revolution cannons, ballshot, and other military equipment. One of its managers was Col. George Taylor , a signer of the Declaration of Independence. The mill building is a three-story, stone structure with the overshot wheel located inside. Attached to it is a large, brick gambrel roofed warehouse added in 1912. At that time, the post office opened at the mill, the second oldest post office in the United States; the Durham Post Office was founded in 1723. The mill was owned by Congressman Reuben Knecht Bachman  in the late-19th and early-20th century. The mill remained in commercial operation until 1967.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>The Austberg, also called the Augsberg or Augstberg, is a low hill, in the northern Harz Foreland near the village of Benzingerode in the district of Harz in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The Austberg lies immediately north of the Harz Mountains in the northern Harz Foreland within the Harz/Saxony-Anhalt Nature Park. It rises northwest of the village of Benzingerode in the borough of Wernigerode. To the north the land descends to the actual Harz Foreland, to the south rises the Harz. A tributary of the Holtemme, the Hellbach, flows past it to the east; and on the far side of the stream is the Struvenberg hill.</p><br>
<h2>Austberg Tower</h2><br>
<p>On the Austberg, slightly west of the summit at about stands the former watchtower, variously known as the Austberg Tower, the Augsberg Tower or the Augstberg Tower (51&deg;50&prime;15.8&Prime;N latitude, 10&deg;51&prime;33.2&Prime;E longitude), which is now an observation tower. Sometimes it is called a "watchtower" (Warte) instead of "tower" (Turm). The watchtower was built by the Regenstein counts around 1250. It served as a signal tower for their landwehr system and acted as a guard tower (Schutzturm) for the counts of Blankenburg. The round tower is made of muschelkalk rubble stone with plaster mortar. It has a diameter of about 4.4 m, a wall thickness of 1.2 m and stands about 10 m high. It was restored between 2006 and 2008/2009.</p><br>
<h2>Viewing points and walking</h2><br>
<p>From the Austberg Tower the view ranges over Benzingerode, the Harz, the Harz Foreland, the Struvenberg and Wernigerode. A 7 kilometre long, signed, circular walk runs around the hill through interesting vegetation. The hill is largely formed of muschelkalk.</p><br>
<p>Beagle Gulf is a gulf on the Timor Sea, located in the Top End of the Northern Territory in northwestern Australia.</p><br>
<p>Port Darwin opens into the gulf. On the east Clarence Strait separates Beagle Gulf from Van Diemen Gulf; Bathurst Island bounds it to the north.</p><br>
<p>It is approximately 100 km long and 50 km wide. It surrounds the Quail Island Group.</p><br>
<h2>Name</h2><br>
<p>Beagle Gulf was named after the ship HMS Beagle, on which Charles Darwin and Robert Fitzroy sailed around parts of Australia. The Cambridge Dictionary of Australian Places incorrectly states that "it was named in 1836 by Robert Fitzroy, commander of HMS Beagle, after his ship. The Beagle charted the area with Charles Darwin aboard as naturalist." However, Darwin and Fitzroy sailed in 1836 from King George&#39;s Sound (Western Australia) directly to the Cocos-Keeling Islands, at the south coast of Java, and from there to Cape Town and back to England. They stayed away from Beagle Gulf by 3000 sea miles and did not know of its existence. The gulf was actually named by Captain John Clements Wickham, commanding HMS Beagle during its survey of northern Australia in 1837-1838, at the beginning of her third and last long voyage.</p><br>
<h2>Protection</h2><br>
<p>In 1991 the Northern Territory Government proposed the formation of the Beagle Gulf Marine Park. The proposed Marine Park has a significant commercial, recreational conservation value. Zoning plans enable the broadest possible use of marine parks whilst providing for the protection and conservation of significant ecological, scientific, historical, cultural and scenic sites.</p><br>
<p>Fonthill, Mercer Museum and Moravian Pottery and Tile Works is a National Historic Landmark District located at Doylestown, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. It consists of three properties built by Henry Chapman Mercer  in a distinctive application of the principles of the Arts and Crafts movement, which are also notable for the early use of poured concrete: Fonthill, the Mercer Museum, and the Moravian Pottery and Tile Works. All three are now museum properties of the Bucks County Historical Society. The landmark designation for the group was made in 1985; each property is also individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>Henry Chapman Mercer was a native of Doylestown, who was educated as a lawyer. He never practiced law formally, and eventually landed a job as a curator at the University of Pennsylvania Museum. Concerned about the rise of industrialization, he began collecting hand-made artifacts and implements of American life and industry, and also investigated Germany pottery and tile-making techniques. Influenced by the rising Arts and Crafts Movement, he founded the Moravian Pottery and Tile Works in his hometown in 1898. Its tiles met with great success, and have been widely used in the United States. In 1907 he began construction of Fonthill, one of the earliest uses of reinforced poured concrete in the United States. Mercer designed it, as well as the current Mercer Museum, using an organic process. Both of those buildings, as well as the current surviving tile works building, use poured reinforced concrete as the primary building material.</p><br>
<h2>Fonthill</h2><br>
<p>Fonthill is located north of the town center of Doylestown, on the west side of East Court Street, just south of the tile works. Its appearance is loosely based on European medieval castles, and has walls of concrete 2 ft thick. The exterior is adorned by decorative tiles, the interior is furnished and decorated with Chapman&#39;s collections. The house was completed in 1912. It is open for tours by appointment.</p><br>
<h2>Mercer Museum</h2><br>
<p>The Mercer Museum is located just southeast of the town center, at East Ashland and Green Streets. Its exterior is similar in inspiration to that of Fonthill, but features more numerous exterior protrusions, giving it a more fortified appearance. The interior includes a large open space surrounded by a ramp of galleries, in which Mercer&#39;s collection of agricultural and industrial implements are displayed in alcoves and nooks. Completed in 1916, it was augmented in the 1930s by a similarly styled library addition.</p><br>
<h2>Moravian Pottery and Tile Works</h2><br>
<p>The tile works complex is located just north of Fonthill, off Swamp Road. Built in 1911-12, it resembles a medieval cloister, with an arched colonnade surrounding a central courtyard. The main portion of the structure is 2-1/2 stories in height, and houses five kilns. The facility continues to actively produce tile, using molds created by Chapman.</p><br>
<p>Gibraltar Rock is a granite outcrop south of Perth in Western Australia, and is in the Porongurup National Park. From the rock, which is 2,100 ft high, Albany and the Great Southern Ocean can be seen. Since the 1970s, the Rock, along with some other local peaks, has become a popular venue for rock climbers.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Gibraltar Rock is 355 km south of Perth, Western Australia. The rock is located in the Porongorups Range, which has thirteen total named peaks including Twin Peaks, The Devils Slide, Nancy Peak, Castle Rock, and Elephant Rock. Road access to the rock is from Bolganup Road and Scenic Drive.</p><br>
<h2>Features</h2><br>
<p>Gibraltar Rock is 2,100 ft tall, and is part of a range that sits at 660 m high.</p><br>
<p>In the early 1990s, the Rock was yielding small amounts of gold to the "dollying" process. The lack of water in the area made more successful mining of the rock difficult in the early part of the twentieth century. As of 1962, the average annual rainfall in the area was roughly 32 in per year.</p><br>
<p>Gibraltar Rock has been described as "an enormous hunk of rough granite that provides the longest and most serious slab climbing in WA." The first organised climb by the Climbers Association of Western Australia was done in 1974. One of the faces of the rock is called Dockyard Wall. It was originally graded 17 crux climb. Two climbing bolts were added to this route in 1992. Other routes up the mountain include Second Anniversary Waltz, Crime of Passion, Dinosaur, Apes Den, Illusions of Grandeur, Possum, Apesway, Main Street, Sucked in Ben, Moorish Steps, Europa Point, Rooster Carnage, Joint Venture, and Zeppelin.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>In 1928, an exhibition of the watercolor works of C. S. Bardwell Clarke was held at the artist&#39;s studio, Sheffield House, Perth. The exhibition included a work featuring Gibraltar Rock. A winery is named after the rock.</p><br>
<p>Tuckerman Hall is a concert hall in Worcester, Massachusetts. It was built in 1902 in the Neoclassical style and restored in 1999. The architect was Josephine Wright Chapman. It is the home of the Massachusetts Symphony Orchestra.</p><br>
<p>Other current uses include weddings, receptions and other events.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building was built for the use of the Worcester Woman&#39;s Club in 1902. It is named after Elizabeth Tuckerman, the grandmother of Stephen Salisbury III, who donated the land, which was left over from his donation to the Worcester Art Museum nearby.</p><br>
<p>On March 3, 1980 Tuckerman Hall was listed in the National Register of Historic Places within the Institutional District at the local significance level.</p><br>
<p>On October 4, 2000 Tuckerman Hall was declared an Official Project of Save America&#39;s Treasures.</p><br>
<p>The Gibraltar District School No. 2 is a historic one-room school on the Door Peninsula in the town of Gibraltar, Door County, Wisconsin, United States. Built in the 1860s to serve children in the village of Ephraim, it operated as a school for approximately eighty years before closing and being converted into a museum. It has been designated a historic site because of its place in the area&#39;s history.</p><br>
<p>The school is now operated as the Pioneer Schoolhouse Museum by the Ephraim Historical Foundation.</p><br>

<p>Ephraim was founded by a group of Moravians who had emigrated from Norway; it was founded to be a permanent settlement, unlike the many resource extraction camps that dotted the Door Peninsula. The Norwegians settled in Wisconsin under the leadership of Andreas Iverson, who had previously lived in Milwaukee. Iverson and several other men bought, surveyed, and platted land at the communitys present site in early 1853, and small temporary houses were scattered over the townsite by the next year. Children were among some of the earliest residents, and the importance of education in the Moravian Church meant that a school was soon needed: the first educational institution was organized in 1854. Three years later, the town of Gibraltar was officially established, with Ephraim included in its borders, and Andreas Iverson donated land for a school at Ephraim and was elected to the school board. In 1857, the Norwegian settlers used this property to erect Gibraltars first school, a log building.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>By the late 1860s, a new school was needed, and Ephraim built the present building in 1869.</p><br>
<p>The Gibraltar District School #2 is a substantial one-room frame school with many improvements that were intended to resolve problems with other schools that county officials had noted. Besides being larger than previous schools, it included large windows to light the interior effectively. Local schoolchildren attended it until the construction of a newer one-room school in 1948. As it was no longer needed for scholastic purposes after the new school was built, the old school was restored by a local history organization before being converted into a museum and offices for a local arts group.</p><br>
<h2>Historic site</h2><br>
<p>In 1985, the Gibraltar District School #2 was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of its place in the area&#39;s history. It was one of several buildings in Gibraltar to be added to the Register together as part of a multiple property submission.</p><br>
