<p>The Old Meigs County Courthouse is a historic former government building in the small community of Chester, Ohio, United States. Erected in the early nineteenth century, the courthouse served multiple purposes for the surrounding community in its early years, but it operated as a courthouse for less than twenty years before being abandoned in favor of another courthouse in another community. Following a restoration in the 1950s, it was designated a historic site in the 1970s along with an adjacent school; the two buildings are operated together as a museum. It is Ohio&#39;s oldest extant building constructed as a courthouse.</p><br>
<h2>Community history</h2><br>
<p>In 1819, the Ohio General Assembly created Meigs County from part of Gallia County. The courts initially met in a building in Salisbury Township, but after fire destroyed their first meeting place in 1821, the county commissioners readily accepted a Chester Township resident&#39;s offer to meet in his house. Before long, the homeowner decided to plat a town, which was to be named "Chester&quot and a courthouse and jail were built. Throughout the rest of the 1820s, Chester flourished; both professionals and farmers settled there, and the Shade River was busy with cargo travelling between Chester and New Orleans. and Chester languished.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>Meeting at the home of the hospitable Chester Township resident in late September 1822, the county commissioners voted to build a log jail and jailer&#39;s house and to begin planning for a permanent courthouse. Two weeks later, they voted in favor of constructing a two-story brick building measuring 36 x and 16 ft tall with seven windows. Late in the month, they ordered that the height be increased to 18 ft, and yet another meeting resulted in a decision to place a cupola on top of the courthouse. By December of the following year, the building was complete; fourteen men were paid a total of $1,255.20 for construction.</p><br>
<p>The completed courthouse is a brick building in the Federal style with a stone foundation; by the 1970s, its original roof had been replaced with metal. Its bricks were manufactured locally in the then-typical size of 4 x.</p><br>
<h2>School</h2><br>
<p>Chesters first school was established in 1830, largely under the influence of a Scottish scholar, Samuel Halliday, who settled in Chester Township and embarked on teaching the local children. The present three-story building was erected in 1839 with the goal of serving students from all over Meigs County. In its early years, the brick school building was used for all sorts of community events: the township trustees rented it as a voting place, social groups such as debate societies and singing schools held their meetings in it, and the complete absence of church buildings in the township prompted all of the townships churches to worship in it. The building remained in use for scholastic purposes until the Civil War, after which the school closed and its building was converted into storage for the adjacent courthouse.</p><br>
<h2>Later history</h2><br>
<p>The courthouse in Chester remained in use as the county courthouse until Pomeroy was made the county seat; it later was converted into a meeting place for a local Grange hall. By 1951, it sat empty and unused, but two years later the Meigs County Pioneer and Historical Society undertook a project to restore the building. In 1975, the courthouse and school were listed together on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying both because of their architecture and the place that they had played in Ohios history. The two buildings are presently operated as a museum by the Chester-Shade Historical Association. The courthouse is Ohios oldest extant building that was constructed as a courthouse, and one of two surviving first-generation Federal courthouses in the state, along with the Old Perry County Courthouse in Somerset.</p><br>
<p>The Julius I. Foust Building at 1000 W. Spring Garden St. on the campus of The University of North Carolina at Greensboro in Greensboro, North Carolina was built in 1891. Greensboro architects Orlo Epps and partner Hackett designed the building and contractor Thomas Woodroffe built it.</p><br>
<p>Originally, the structure was known as the Main Building. It served as the sole administrative and classroom building for the school until 1908 when the McIver Building was constructed. At that time in 1908, the building&#39;s name was changed to the Administration Building. And in 1960, it was renamed in memory of Julius Isaac Foust, the second president of the school now known as UNCG.</p><br>
<p>The Foust Building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It is the only surviving nineteenth-century structure on the campus.</p><br>
<p>The Old Perry County Courthouse is a historic government building in the village of Somerset, Ohio, United States. Built in the 1820s as a courthouse, it is one of Ohios oldest existing buildings constructed for that purpose, and it has seen the controversy of a county seat war. For much of its history, it has served as Somersets village hall, and it is located within a federally designated historic district.</p><br>
<h2>Historic context</h2><br>
<p>The village of Somerset was established in 1810 by settlers from Somerset, Pennsylvania at the spot on Zanes Trace located midway between Lancaster and Zanesville. Seven years later, parts of Fairfield, Muskingum, and Washington counties were merged to create Perry County, and the house of a Somerset resident was named the first temporary courthouse. In 1819, the county government arranged for the erection of a building in Somerset; while most of the building was used for a jail, it also included a courtroom and space for some county offices. Ten years later, the present building was constructed on the villages public square; officials quickly found it to be insufficiently large for their needs, so until a new jail was built adjacent to the courthouse in 1848, some offices remained in the jail.</p><br>
<p>As the village of New Lexington grew in importance, its residents began to agitate for the county seat to be moved to their community. From 1851 to 1859, the state legislature passed three separate laws to permit the county seat to be moved; contentious elections and a decision by the Supreme Court of Ohio saw the county seat move to New Lexington, back to Somerset, and finally back to New Lexington. After it ceased to be used as a courthouse, the building was leased to Somerset for use as its village hall. It has outlasted its successor; the original courthouse in New Lexington became too small for the county&#39;s needs by the late 1880s and was replaced by the current courthouse in 1888.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Old Perry County Courthouse is a two-story brick building with a stone foundation constructed at a total cost of $6,600. It originally measured 45 x, although the construction of the jail led to its modification. A cupola sits atop the building, which measures five bays wide on the front. None of the names of its architects and builders are known. Although the original central doorway survived into the 1950s, the other two doors in the facade were replaced by that time; they had been repurposed to permit direct access to the second floor, which had been converted into spaces for an American Legion post, a library, and a barbershop. No dormer windows pierce the hip roof, which was likely covered with slates when built. Wooden trim decorates the cornice and the eaves. Inside, nothing survives of the original floor plan. The building sits on the northwestern corner of the junction of Main and Columbus Streets, facing southeast into the public square.</p><br>
<h3>Inscription</h3><br>
<p>One of the most distinctive elements of the courthouse is an inscription carven into the stone lintel over the main entrance: "Let Justice be done. If the Heavens should fall". This unusual text has received widespread attention and provoked speculation regarding both its meaning and its origin. Legend suggests that the phrase was originally intended to read "Let Justice be done though the Heavens fall" but was changed by the stonemason, who ran out of room for the longer word. which he portrays as a former Somerset resident&#39;s primary memory of the building. Another author, writing in 1901, pronounced the phrase "wonderful" but remarked on its unusual wording:</p><br>
<p>Meanwhile, a biography of Somerset native General Philip Sheridan, deeming the inscription a grammatical error, repeats a legend that blames a foreigner for the mistake — when the village council met to determine what motto should be carven into the stone, they failed to agree on a text, so they turned to a highly educated German who was resident in the village. This German, who believed himself to have been wronged in a recent lawsuit, suggested the phrase and insisted that the county judge (who had presided over the recent lawsuit) must take credit for it. As a result, when the error was observed a year later, the judge came under such heavy criticism that he was forced to move out of state. Elsewhere, the phrase has been viewed more kindly: as a "quaint, old Irish bull", or as simply as the creation of a well-meaning pioneer who was possessed of bad rhetoric.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>As a typical representative of Ohio&#39;s early courthouses, and as the oldest building in the former Northwest Territory in continuous governmental use, the building has benefited from a state-funded restoration project. In 1975, much of Somerset was designated a historic district, the Somerset Historic District, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places; the courthouse was one of the most important contributing properties in the district. It is one of just two surviving first-generation Federal courthouses in the state, along with the Old Meigs County Courthouse in Chester.</p><br>
<p>The Josiah Smith Tennent House is a National Register property located at 727 East Bay St. at the intersection of Drake Street in Charleston, South Carolina. The house was built by Josiah Smith Tennent in 1859 and placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>In 1993, the city gave the property known as the Josiah Smith Tennent House to nonprofit Elpis Inc. At the time, the house was little more than a shell, and the nonprofit intended to restore the building as a community center. A restoration followed, aided by the community development grants from the city, private donations estimated in the millions, and a $1.73 million mortgage that Elpis took out on the building in 2003. The restoration received a South Carolina Historic Preservation Award in 2004.</p><br>
<p>Elpis outfitted part of the building as a dental clinic, helped established a day care center there, and housed other nonprofit groups in the building. In March 2008, it was announced that Charleston would spend $1.4 million to buy the house when a nonprofit that received more than $1 million in municipal grants toward renovating the building as a community center defaulted on its mortgage.</p><br>
<p>The small front yard of the building became the Philip Simmons Children&#39;s Garden, honoring the master blacksmith.</p><br>
<p>Kunturiri ri a suffix, Hispanicized spelling Condoriri) is a mountain in the Cordillera Real of Bolivia, about 5,648 m high. It is also the name of the whole massif. Kunturiri is located in the La Paz Department, Los Andes Province, Pukarani Municipality, southeast of Chachakumani and northwest of Huayna Potosí.</p><br>
<p>The central part of the Kunturiri group is formed by three peaks which resemble a condor with wings spread:</p><br>
<p>the Kunturiri itself, also called Cabeza de(l) Condor (Spanish for "head of the condor") (5,648 m),</p><br>
<p>Ala Izquierda ("left wing"), Ala Norte ("north wing") (5,532 m), the Kunturiri west peak and</p><br>
<p>Ala Derecha ("right wing") or Ala Sur ("south wing") (5,482 m).</p><br>
<p>Kuchillu Khunu (Aymara kuchillu knife (from Spanish cuchillo), khunu snow, "knife snow") is the name of the peak south of the "head of the condor" at 16&deg;10&prime;47&Prime;S latitude, 68&deg;14&prime;50&Prime;W longitude.</p><br>
<p>Other peaks in the Kunturiri massif are Pico Reya (5,495 m), Qallwani (Yugoslavia) (5,492 m) 2 km north of Kunturiri, Wintanani (5,428 m), Pico Eslovenia (5,381 m), Pequeño Alpamayo (5,370 m), Pico Medio (5,355 m), Ilusión (5,330 m), Aguja Negra (5,290 m), Jist&#39;aña (5,260 m), Diente (5,200 m), Ilusioncita (5,150 m), Tarija (5,060 m) and Titicaca (4,968 m). The Spanish names of the peaks do not occur in the maps of the Bolivian IGM (Instituto Geográfico Militar).</p><br>
<p>The lakes Ch&#39;iyar Quta and Juri Quta are situated south of the massif.</p><br>
<p>Sugashima is an inhabited island located in Ise Bay off the east coast of central Honshu, Japan. It is administered as part of the city of Toba in Mie Prefecture. It is the second largest of the outlying islands of Toba. Historically, it was noted for its Ama divers.</p><br>
<p>Remains of human settlement from the Jomon, Yayoi, and Kofun periods have been found on Sugashima, and the name "Sugashima" appears in early documents, such as the Man&#39;yōshū and Wamyō Ruijushō, and was mentioned in Kamakura period poetry by Saigyō Hōshi and Emperor Juntoku. The area prospered as a fishing village, and transshipment point for the Toba Domain under the Tokugawa shogunate in the Edo period. Following the Meiji restoration, Sugashima Lighthouse was built on the island in 1873, with its inauguration attended by Saigō Takamori and other leaders of the Meiji government. In 1919, the Sugashima Marine Biological Laboratory of Nagoya University was established on the island.</p><br>
<p>During the Meiji period, the island was made part of Tōshi District, which became part of Shima District from 1896. On November 1, 1954, the island became part of the city of Toba.</p><br>
<p>The economy of the island is based on commercial fishing and tourism. A peridotite quarry on the island is also a major source of income.</p><br>
<p>Sirwah  was, after Ma&#39;rib, the most important economical and political center of the Kingdom of Saba at the beginning of the 1st century BC, on the Arabian Peninsula. Ṣirwāḥ was surrounded by a fortified wall. The city layout inside the oasis included a number of large buildings.</p><br>
<p>The ruins of Ṣirwāḥ are located 40 km west of Marib. The town was well protected by its position in the mountains was well protected, but at the same time put limits on its development. As a result, Ṣirwāḥ quickly lost its position as a capital, which was taken over by Ma’rib, which was in an important economical center since it was located on the incense route. The town nevertheless remained an important centre for the Sabaeans, as shown by the large number of temple buildings. It was also the site chosen by King Yadail Dharih I. to build an important temple to Almaqah about the year 700 BC.</p><br>
<h2>Archaeology</h2><br>
<p>Archaeologists from the German Archaeological Institute have since 2005 discovered and salvaged an inscription from the Sabaean Kingdom that is over seven meters long. This seven tonne heavy block of stone was a standing feature of the sanctuary of Almaqah and had fallen from its plinth during an earthquake. The epigraphist Norbert Nebes from the University of Jena described the inscription as the most important one so far from the period of the first century BC. The inscription gives an account of the battles of a Sabaean, carried out against his immediate neighbors in the south-east and north of Yemen.</p><br>
<p>Some restorative work was undertaken on these sites before the breakout of the Yemeni Civil War. During these works a further temple was discovered dating back to the 7th century BC. This sanctuary has a monumental entrance, decorated with pillars. It contains a number of rooms, built out of wood and stone, the layout is unique for Yemen in this period. One of the longest inscriptions which composed of 20 lines is describing the conquerors and campaigns by king Karib&#39;il Watar.</p><br>
<p>Since the breakout of civil war in Yemen in 2015, Ṣirwāḥ has been a frontline between the Houthi rebels and forces allied with President Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi, making excavations almost impossible. Prior to this, a number of German excavations took place in Ṣirwāḥ, which it was hoped would further knowledge about the earliest days of the Sabaean Kingdom.</p><br>
<p>The Kleiner Winterberg is a mountain, in the borough of Wernigerode, Harz county, in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt. It is found in the Harz Mountains and is a subpeak of the Wurmberg, the highest point in the neighbouring state of Lower Saxony.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The Kleiner Winterberg lies within the Harz/Saxony-Anhalt Nature Park just east of the border with Lower Saxony and about 2.2 km southwest of the village of Schierke in the borough of Wernigerode. To the northeast, on the other side of Schierke on the Cold Bode, rises the ridge of Hohnekamm (; with its tors, the Hohneklippen). Towards the southeast the countryside descends to the Barenberg, to the south it drops into the valley of the Bremke stream, which rises on the mountainside to the west on the Wurmberg. To the northwest is the Großer Winterberg and, beyond that, to the Brocken.</p><br>
<h2>Winter sports area</h2><br>
<p>As part of the planning for the Wurmberg 2015 concept, a ski lift or gondola lift and four new downhill runs are to be built in the area between the Großer and Kleiner Winterberg and the Wurmberg towards the village of Schierke.</p><br>
<p>The James Sparrow House is an excellent example of a Charleston single house in the late Federal style. It is named for a Charleston butcher who acquired the property at 65 Cannon St. in 1797. Several other butchers owned and lived in the house by 1825 when Christian David Happoldt bought the house. It remained in his family until 1907. It is a two and one-half story stuccoed brick house, raised on a basement of the same material. The masonry has an embellished by a dog-tooth cornice, with full return, repeated in the rake of the gable end. Quoins of stuccoed brick articulate the corners and a stringcourse of the same material delineates the floor levels. Two interior chimneys, with Gothic arched hoods, on the east side of the house were reconstructed after the earthquake of 1886. The house was listed in the National Register January 30, 1998.</p><br>
<p>By 1995, the house was in terrible condition. Many of its interior details had been lost, and the exterior had suffered the loss of its piazzas. Robert and Nancy Mikell purchased the house and undertook a restoration. An addition to the rear was designed by Charleston architect Randolph Martz.</p><br>
<p>The William H. Grant House is a historic house in Middleport, Ohio, United States. One of the area&#39;s earliest concrete houses, it has been designated a historic site.</p><br>
<p>Built in 1852, the house is constructed of concrete on a foundation of sandstone. Two stories tall, the house is rectangular with a small frame addition to the rear, which was built about ten years after the original part of the house. Born in 1820, William H. Grant pioneered concrete architecture in Meigs County: a small experimental house (no longer in existence) was the first concrete building in the county, and the present house, near the experimental building, was the second.</p><br>
<p>Besides serving as a residence, the house is a local religious landmark. Before dying in 1845, Johnny Appleseed visited Middleport and converted the Grants to Swedenborgianism. Several other Middleport residents also joined the new religion, and after building the present house, the Grants used it as a meeting place for their coreligionists. In recognition of its place in local history and its distinctive method of construction, the house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. It is one of three places in Middleport on the National Register, along with the John Downing Jr. House and the Middleport Public Library.</p><br>
<p>Fedafjorden is a fjord in Vest-Agder county, Norway. The 15 km is located in the municipalities of Kvinesdal, Flekkefjord, and Farsund. The long, narrow fjord runs south from the mouth of the river Kvina to the Listafjorden.</p><br>
<p>The fjord is 15 km long and only about 1.5 km wide. The village of Feda is located at the northwestern side of the fjord, just west of the Fedafjord Bridge on the European route E39 highway. Near the mouth of the fjord, at the south end, lies the island of Andabeløya. The majority of the fjord lies in Kvinesdal municipality, but the mouth of the fjord is split between the municipalities of Flekkefjord and Farsund.</p><br>
<p>The old municipality of Feda, which existed from 1900 until 1963, encompassed the 66 km&sup2; area surrounding both sides of the Fedafjorden.</p><br>
<p>Jøsenfjorden is a fjord in the municipality of Hjelmeland in Rogaland county, Norway. The fjord is a branch off of the main Boknafjorden. The fjord has a length of 24 km and a width between 1 to 2 km. The Norwegian National Road 13 runs along the northern shore of the fjord.</p><br>
<p>The innermost part of the fjord is where the river Førreåa empties into the fjord at small Førrebotn farm. The river Ulla empties into the fjord along the northern shoreline at the village of Jøsenfjorden and the river Vorma empties into the fjord along the southern shoreline of the fjord at the small farming village of Tøtlandsvik. The municipal centre of Hjelmelandsvågen lies at the southern side of the mouth of the fjord. Both sides of the fjord are steep and they rise almost vertically to heights of over 700 m above sea level.</p><br>
<p>The geology of the Jøsenfjorden was thoroughly investigated and described by Professor Bjørn G. Andersen in his Master&#39;s thesis (1954) ”Om isens tilbaketrekking i området mellom Lysefjorden og Jøsenfjorden i Ryfylke” (On the glacial retreat in the area between the Lysefjorden and Jøsenfjorden in Ryfylke).</p><br>
<p>The Greensboro History Museum, consisting of the former First Presbyterian Church of Greensboro and Smith Memorial Building, is a historic museum building located at 130 Summit Ave. in Greensboro, Guilford County, North Carolina. The former Presbyterian church was built in 1892, and is a Romanesque Revival style brick building with a cross gable roof and tower. The semi-circular, 11 bay, Smith Memorial Building was built in 1903. It features four octagonal sides and a tower. The memorial building was designed by the noted architect Charles Christian Hook . The church and memorial building were connected and the older structures modified and renovated in 1938. Also located on the property is the First Presbyterian Church cemetery, established in 1812. The church vacated the property in 1929, and in 1937-1938 it was renovated and enlarged as the Richardson Civic Center and donated to the city of Greensboro. It subsequently housed the Greensboro Public Library, the Greensboro Historical Museum, and the Greensboro Art Center. The historic building functions as one part of the current, larger Greenboro History Museum.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>

<p>The Bright Leaf Historic District is a national historic district located at Durham, Durham County, North Carolina. It encompasses 22 contributing buildings and seven contributing structures in an industrial section of Durham. The majority of the buildings were built from the 1870s to the World War II period, and are massive two- to four-story structures, usually rectangular in form with flat or very shallow gable roofs and of fireproof construction with brick exteriors. Notable buildings include the B. L. Duke Warehouse , the Italianate style W. Duke Sons and Company Cigarette Factory , Liggett and Myers Office Building, Chesterfield Building, Flowers Building , Imperial Tobacco Company Factory , White Warehouse , and five Romanesque Revival style buildings built by The American Tobacco Company trust—Walker Warehouse , Cobb Building , O&#39;Brien Building , Hicks Warehouse  and Toms Warehouse .</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>Freiburg Castle is a vanished castle. When it existed it was usually called the Burghaldenschloss .</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>It stood on the Schlossberg (castle hill) above the city of Freiburg in Baden-Württemberg. The location was at 376.3 m (1,235 ft) above sea level around an elevation which today is called Ludwigshöhe. Beneath the Ludwigshöhe Roman stone mosaics were found in 1819. The remains</p><br>
<p>of a Roman villa or fortress suggest that the mountain must already have been of strategic importance during the time of the Roman settlement of the Rhine Valley.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>House of Zähringen</h3><br>
<p>Already in 1091 the duke Berthold II of Zähringen ordered the construction of the Castrum de Friburch on the Schlossberg (castle hill) of Freiburg in beautiful Romanesque style. This castle was praised later by the poet Hartmann von Aue. The Duke&#39;s servants and craftsmen lived at the foot of the mountain in the area of what today is the southern part of the historic center, but it was only in 1120 when his son Konrad, with the approval of emperor Henry IV, granted the settlement market rights, thus ending the startup phase of Freiburg.</p><br>
<p>The existence of the castle is proved at least since 1146 when Bernhard of Clairvaux described in his travel diaries how he healed a blind boy apud castrum Frieburg (at the fort Freiburg). To distinguish it from Zähringen castle above the village of the same name north of Freiburg this castle was called the Burghaldenschloss (motte-and-bailey castle). Throughout history, fires and acts of war on several occasions destroyed the fortified buildings on castle hill, but the castle was rebuilt various times by the respective rulers because of its strategic importance for the protection of Freiburg and to control the access to the Black Forest and the Dreisam valley.</p><br>
<h3>Counts of Freiburg</h3><br>
<p>After the end of the Zähringer in 1218 the dominion of the city Freiburg went over to the counts of Urach who from then on called themselves counts of Freiburg and resided in the castle above Freiburg. The relationship between the citizen and their lords was often disturbed by disputes regarding the financial obligations of the city. Twice the citizens of Freiburg occupied the castle. In the war against their ruler count Egino II and his brother-in-law, the bishop of Strasbourg Konrad von Lichtenberg, in 1299 they used catapults against the castle for the purpose of blowing a breach. When Count Egino III. 1366 tried to enter with his legions in the city at night it came to the war in which the citizens of Freiburg devastated with canons the "most beautiful castle in the German lands". Thereupon the relationship between the ruling counts of Freiburg and the city was completely shattered.</p><br>
<h3>House of Habsburg</h3><br>
<p>The citizens ransomed themselves from their former rulers, the counts of Freiburg, with a lump-sum payment of 15,000 silver marks and submitted themselves voluntarily to the protection of the house of Habsburg in 1368. Generously the new ruler, Leopold III, Duke of Austria, handed the ruins of the castle over to the Freiburgers. The city repaired the fortifications just provisionally so that the castle could be taken easily by the enemy in the German Peasants War in 1525 as well as in the Thirty Years War.</p><br>
<h4>Leopoldsburg (Leopold's castle)</h4><br>
<p>Later emperor Leopold I built a mountain fortification including the motte-and-bailey castle in 1668, the "Leopoldsburg", as a bulwark in defense of the threat to the Breisgau imposed by Louis XIV of France.</p><br>
<h3>Dutch War</h3><br>
<p>Nevertheless, already in 1677 during the Dutch War, the French conquered city and fortress. When in 1679 following the treaties of Nijmegen the Habsburgers had to cede Freiburg to the crown of France the Schlossberg experienced its greatest changes.</p><br>
<h4>Vauban's fortification</h4><br>
<p>Louis XIV instructed his military engineer Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban to fortify the city of Freiburg including the Schlossberg with the Vieux Châteaux (French for: "old castle") in accordance with modern requirements and standards as a French outpost in Further Austria and had it surrounded with a fortress ring along the slope. In 1681, the king himself came to Freiburg with a large entourage to inspect the construction works and also visited the castle.</p><br>
<h3>War of the Palatine Succession</h3><br>
<p>After the war of the Palatine Succession, in the treaty of Ryswick in 1697, Louis XIV had to give up Freiburg. This negative result for the crown of France was glossed over in a French memorandum as follows: The King has given up some places which were not useful for him... Freiburg was not useful enough for the king to perceive its return as a loss, it has returned to be in the bosom of the empire and the care of the emperor, who is also its prince.</p><br>
<h3>War of the Spanish Succession</h3><br>
<p>In the War of the Spanish Succession, the fortress occupied with a strong Austrian garrison was beleaguered and taken again by French troops under Marshal Louis Hector de Villars. In Rastatt the return of the fortress to Germany was agreed upon, which happened in 1715.</p><br>
<h3>War of the Austrian Succession</h3><br>
<p>Afterwards again war broke out, that time the war of the Austrian Succession. In autumn 1744, the French again occupied Freiburg as allies of Frederick the Great, king of Prussia. Louis XV of France observed personally from the Lorettoberg the progress made in the siege of the city and was nearly hit by a stray cannonball of the defenders. One year later, in the treaty of Dresden, Freiburg was returned to the Habsburgers. However, before the French left the city they destroyed Vauban&#39;s fortifications practically completely so that of the former castle (whose main component was a donjon shown on illustrations) only a debris cone and the neck ditch remained. As a consequence of the extensive destructions of the castle and the fortifications surrounding the city a vast field of ruins covered the hill and the city for the following decades.</p><br>

<p>The Stiles-Hinson House is two houses built back-to-back on James Island, South Carolina.</p><br>
<p>The first house is a simple, rural building built in 1742 by Benjamin Stiles, a pioneer planter on James Island. William Godber Hinson, who made significant contributions in the field of agricultural science, built the 1891 portion of the house and continued to keep the plantation active until the early years of the 20th century.</p><br>
<p>The conjoined arrangement of two styles is unique. The exteriors of both houses are characteristic of their historic periods. The Stiles portion of the house is an example of a mid-18th century planter’s house. The larger part of the house, facing the river and built by Hinson, is Victorian.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed in the National Register of Historic Places October 9, 1974.</p><br>
<p>Murray Springs is located in southern Arizona near the San Pedro River and once served as a Clovis hunting camp approximately 9000 years BCE. The site is unique for the massive quantity of large megafauna processing and extensive tool making. Archaeologists identified five buried animal kills and processing locations and a Clovis camp location. The site is located in the San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area, administered by the Bureau of Land Management.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1966, archaeologists C. Vance Haynes and Peter Mehringer of the University of Arizona discovered the site while extending the mapping of the area of the Lehner Mammoth Kill Site. The archaeologists located two concentrations of mammoth bones that day. They were convinced the area was a Clovis site based on the bones and because Murray Springs shared the same geologic characteristics as the Lehrner site. Funding by the National Science Foundation and the National Geographic Society enabled excavations from 1967 to 1971.</p><br>
<p>Some of the significant artifacts found during the excavations included hearths, a bone tool, projectile points, lithic tools, and debitage. The five buried animal kills and processing locations contained bones of mammoth, buffaloes, horses, camels, canids and rodents. A worker found a single pot sherd on the surface of the site that was associated to use approximately 1300 to 1450 CE. The archaeologists noted peoples have used the spring over an extended period.</p><br>
<p>The San Pedro River Valley is rich in discovered Clovis culture sites. Within a 50-mile radius are nearly a dozen Clovis sites including the Lehrner Mammoth Kill Site, the Naco Mammoth Kill Site, the Escapule Clovis Site and the Leikem Clovis Site. The Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management oversees Murray Springs and in 2012, the USA Government declared the site a National Historic Landmark. The site has a parking area and an interpretive trail.</p><br>
<p>Grinton Lodge is a 19th-century former shooting lodge that has been a youth hostel since 1948. A Grade II listed building, it is situated above the village of Grinton, in Swaledale, North Yorkshire.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The lodge was built in 1817 for James Fenton of Doncaster, but by the middle of the century it had been sold first to the Wentworth family of Wakefield and then to John Charlesworth Dodgson-Charlesworth, also of Wakefield. The property remained with the Charlesworth family until after the Second World War, when following the death of the owner, Barney Charlesworth, his widow sold the property to the Youth Hostels Association. During the stewardship of the Charlesworth&#39;s the property was extensively modified to allow use by Albany Charlesworth, who used a wheelchair following a hunting accident. Since 1948 it has been used continuously as a youth hostel.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>The Lodge is built around a courtyard; the main ranges are the north and east each of which have two storeys with a third storey tower on the southern end of the east range.</p><br>
<p>Farmfield Plantation House was built in 1854 for William Ravenel, a prominent Charleston businessman and banker. It is one of the few plantation houses with unaltered exteriors in St. Andrew’s Parish which survived the American Civil War. The interior has been modified.</p><br>
<p>Farmfield Plantation once included most of the property between USA Highway 17 and Folly Road, but most of it has been subidivided. Its construction was described by Rose Pringle Ravenel, the daughter of the builder, in her book Piazza Tales. Today, the house is surrounded on three sides by suburban development. In 2002, an easement to the Lowcountry Open Land Trust was placed on the remaining six acres to ensure no further subdivisions.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on October 29, 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Copeland House is important as an example of a vernacular farm residence built in the Carolina back country after 1790, along what would in the early 19th century become an established coach road from the coastal counties to the interior. Constructed in the late 18th century by John Jacob Copeland , it became the center for his family that grew to include eight children. The house and the nearby farms, many belonging to families related by marriage over time, became significant contributors to a German Lutheran settlement in the area which took shape in this part of South Carolina a generation before the start of the American Revolution. The nearest town, Ehrhardt, South Carolina, is about 2 miles east of the Copeland House. The residence, initially built in the early 1790s, is significant for its association with the Copeland family, who built the house, occupied it continuously and farmed the surrounding property for nearly 200 years. In the mid-1980s the Copeland descendants, heirs to the fifth generation of the family, sold the property. The original square log and dovetail construction remains largely intact, even after several significant 19th and early 20th century modifications and additions were made. Subsequent owners have generally maintained the original fabric while stabilizing the structure. The house, together with several related dependencies and an adjacent Copeland family burial site, was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on October 18, 1991.</p><br>
<p>Rivers Bridge State Historic Site, also known as Rivers Bridge State Park, located near Ehrhardt, a small town in Bamberg County, South Carolina, is noteworthy as an important Civil War historic site. It is in this area that General William T. Sherman engaged the Confederate Army on his advance from Savannah, and after two days of battle, outflanked the Confederates and forced them to withdraw. River Bridge State Park was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on February 23, 1972.</p><br>
<h2>Mass Grave</h2><br>
<p>In 1876 men from nearby communities reburied the Confederate dead from Rivers Bridge in a mass grave about a mile from the battlefield and began a tradition of annually commemorating the battle. The Rivers Bridge Memorial Association eventually obtained the battlefield and in 1945 turned the site over to South Carolina for a state park.</p><br>
<p>The Heins Block is the most prominent commercial building in the city of Olivia, Minnesota, United States. It was built in 1896 to house a bank and a hardware store owned by P.W. Heins. P.W. Heins opened up his first mercantile store soon after the village of Olivia was surveyed by the Hastings and Dakota Railway. Heins established the Peoples Bank in 1889.</p><br>
<p>The architect, A.J. Hedlund, designed a Queen Anne-styled house for Heins. After the house was designed, Heins commissioned Hedlund to design a building for the Peoples Bank. The building was completed in 1896 and housed the bank and the Heins and Byers Hardware Store on the first level, with offices and apartments on the second and third levels. It has Romanesque details such as arched window openings, as well as a recessed Roman arched entrance resting above two short columns.</p><br>
<p>The Sternstein Mountain is situated in the north of Upper Austria, Austria in the districts of Bad Leonfelden and Vorderweißenbach. On its north flank it also reaches into the Czech Republic. As measured by the height above sea level of its summit it is 1125 meters high.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>Geologically it belongs to the Bohemian Massif and is the most eastern part of the Bohemian Forest.</p><br>
<p>As the average temperature in the surroundings of the mountain over the year is less than 6°C, it is one of the coldest regions of Upper Austria.</p><br>
<p>The municipalities of Vorderweißenbach and Bad Leonfelden get their water supplies from springs arising from lower parts of the mountain.</p><br>
<h2>Observation Tower</h2><br>
<p>In the year 1898 a 20 meter high Observation Tower was built on top of the mountain, in honor to the K.u.K. emperor Franz Joseph I. Today it is still one of the main tourist attractions of the region and can be reached from several hiking paths from all sides of the mountain.</p><br>
<h2>Sports</h2><br>
<p>During the winter the mountain can be used for winter sports. There are four kilometers of slopes on the east flank of the mountain and the Sternstein GmbH operates a combined funicular and chair lift with a capacity of 2850 persons/hour to get to the top of the mountain. Also cross country skiing is very popular in the area of the Sternstein.</p><br>
<p>During the other seasons the mountain is a destination for hikers and mountain bikers. Furthermore, it is situated along a long-distance hiking path, the Nordwaldkammweg.</p><br>
<p>Grand Mound is a prehistoric burial site in Koochiching County, Minnesota, United States. It is the largest surviving prehistoric structure in the upper Midwest, dating back to 200 BC. The site was listed as a National Historic Landmark on June 23, 2011.</p><br>
<p>The main burial mound measures 140 ft in length and 100 ft in width, about 25 ft high, plus a 200 ft tail measuring 12 ft in width and 3 ft in height. There are four other smaller earthworks at the site, closer in size to typical burial mounds around the Midwest. Besides the mound, the site contains a number of stratified deposits from villages dating to the Middle Woodland and Late Woodland periods. The main mound was for many years thought to be typical conical mound, but in the 21st century it was discovered to have a tail, and has been reclassified as an effigy mound, possibly resembling a muskrat. The mound is part of a larger series of interconnected archaeological sites that include seasonal camp locations and fishing areas.</p><br>
<p>The site once had a visitor center operated by the Minnesota Historical Society, opened in 1975. The visitor center was closed in 2003 and the site was closed to the public in 2007, amid concerns that having tourists viewing burial sites was inappropriate. Bill Keyes, the head of the Historical Society&#39;s historic sites and museums division, said, "What we heard from tribal elders was that this was like a cemetery, it was a burial ground, and that operating it as a tourist attraction was really not an appropriate way to go."</p><br>
<p>The Sword Gate House at 32 Legare St., Charleston, South Carolina was built in stages. The main portion of the house is believed to have been built around 1803, possibly by French Huguenots James LaRoche and J. Lardent. The house replaced a simpler house that was shown on a plat in 1803. British consul George Hopley bought and redecorated the house in 1849, the same year the Sword Gates were installed in the high brick wall on Legare Street. Each half has a central cross formed by point of two vertical spears meeting in center of horizontally placed broadsword, giving the house its popular name. The gates were manufactured by Christopher Werner of Charleston. The City of Charleston had hired Werner to produce a "pair" of gates for the new police station, and Werner made what he understood that to mean: two matching sets of gates—two left panels and two right panels. The city had intended only one set of gates - that is, a single left and single right panel. Werner sold the duplicate set to George Hopley who had them installed at his house. </p><br>
<p>The house has seen many late 19th century additions and alterations. By 1970 the brick wing was separated from the house and given the address of 109 Tradd Street, but it retained its architectural integrity. It is believed to have been added ca. 1818; acquired by Andre Talvande and his mother, Madame Talvande, in 1819; and used as a girls school. It was during their ownership that the high masonry walls surrounding the property were added.</p><br>
<p>The building is two and a half stories over a high basement, with a slate-covered hip roof. There are three pedimented dormers along the north and one on the west. The brick walls are covered with stucco; the cornice is also stucco. First floor windows have exterior paneled shutters and second story shutters are louvered.</p><br>
<p>The Gaud family bought the Sword Gate House in 1949 following almost two decades of vacancy and repaired and furnished the buildings. They operated a guest house in the house for a time. Eventually, by 1959, they chose to pursue a subdivision of the property and sell off two lots facing on Legare Street to make ends meet. The plan was met with strong neighborhood opposition, but a city zoning board eventually approved the subdivision in late 1959.</p><br>
<p>Mrs. H.C. Shackelford bought most of the property from Mr. Henry T. Gaud for $47,500 in 1960. George E. Roosevelt bought house in 1963 from Mrs. H.C. Shackelford and reversed the multiple subdivisions of the parcel that had taken place.</p><br>
<p>In 2002, the house underwent an extensive restoration. The work reassembled three lots that had been subdivided into a single parcel and converted the entire structure back into a single-family house.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed in the National Register December 18, 1970.</p><br>
<p>The Florence Crittenton Home is significant for its long association with the development of social and child welfare programs in Charleston and for its statewide leadership in caring for the needs of unmarried mothers and their babies. Since its establishment as the Christlove Mission of the King’s Daughters in 1897 by Claudia Tharin, the organization has sheltered women during their pregnancies, provided them with education and employment training, and assisted them to plan for the care of their newborn children. After two years of operation, the program was taken over by the National Florence Crittenton Mission.</p><br>
<p>The building at 19 St. Margaret St. was designed by John Darlington Newcomer. Work began in 1923, but financial difficulties prevented the completion of the building until 1932. The home is two and one-half stories of brick with a front gable roof, three bay façade, and two lateral wings with hipped roofs. Gabled dormers are set at the slopes of the wings. Two tiered screened porches extend along the east and west sides of the rear section. The attic level is distinguished by an oriel on braces, with three windows and a hipped roof. Similar braces mark the deep eaves.</p><br>
<p>The home was listed in the National Register September 25, 1997.</p><br>
<p>The Senator Hotel   was a nine-story, 400-room Italian Renaissance-style hotel in Sacramento, California located at 12th and L streets across from the California State Capitol building that served as a nexus of California political and social activity for more than 50 years. Opened in 1924, the Senator Hotel was where Arthur Samish, one of the most influential and powerful individual lobbyists in the history of California, maintained a suite during the 1930s and 1940s. President Gerald Ford spent the night at the Senator Hotel before the September 5, 1975, assassination attempt on him by cultist Manson family disciple Squeaky Fromme. Although the Senator Hotel was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in May 1979, the hotel was closed two months later and shuttered with panels placed over the windows that same year. The structure was renovated and then reopened in 1983 as an office building under the name Senator Hotel Office Building, giving lobbyists short-walking-distance access to California&#39;s state politicians.</p><br>
<h2>Features</h2><br>
<p>The Senator Hotel building is divided into two main reinforced-concrete masses, each nine stories in height and connected by a lobby building. Stylistically modeled after the Palazzo Farnese in Florence, Italy and positioned to front on Sacramento&#39;s L Street, the L Street facade measures 165 ft and includes a colonnaded archway along the entire front and side facades. When the building was opened in 1924, its archway system was covered in a peach-colored terra cotta that imitated "massive, smooth marble blocks" through deep etching and had an open front facade that served as a veranda for hotel guests. That area later was enclosed in glass.</p><br>
<p>Originally, the hotel lobby resembled the 16th century Palazzo Farnese courtyard in Rome, Italy. To reach the skylight lit lobby, guests would enter from L Street through hand-painted decorated main doors and pass through "a colonnade of rough plastered walls covered with gold beneath tints of blue". Optionally, the guest could travel straight from the entry doors, across the lobby, to the far end of the lobby and climb one of two winding staircases to reach a balcony floor extending around and overlooking the lobby. The stair stick spindles lining the stairway sides were pastel paint shaded ornamental ironworks.</p><br>
<p>As a commercial establishment, the Senator Hotel not only offered lodging to travelers and sometimes to permanent residents, it also included restaurants, meeting rooms, and was available to the general public. When the hotel opened in 1924, its vaudeville theater featured the band, The Syncopating Senators. The Senator Hotel had its own orchestra and featured an 86 ft bar designed by American architect G. Albert Lansburgh for the hotels Empire Room. In January 1937, a mural depicting the abdication of Britains King Edward VIII in December 1936 to marry American divorcée and socialite, Wallis Simpson, was added to the bar. This mural came at a time when the abdication crisis was world news and brought protest from Sacramento&#39;s Delphian Society, who claimed that the mural showed bad judgment in its positive portrayal of the King and the divorcée and negative portrayal of United Kingdom Prime Minister Baldwin and the Archbishop of Canterbury, the senior bishop and principal leader of the Church of England.</p><br>
<p>Along with the Empire Room, the Senator Hotel included the Peacock Room that served as a tea room for women and the Florentine Dining Room, which was designed to look like the Stone Room in the Palazzo Farnese and to serve as the hotel&#39;s main dining room.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Senator Hotels 1920s opening came at an important time in Sacramento, California. The citys current charter was adopted by voters in 1920, establishing a city council-and-manager form of government still used today. In 1923, voters approved the creation the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD), a customer-owned utility that provides electricity to Sacramento County. The year following the creation of SMUD, 1924, brought several events in Sacramento: Standard Oil executive Verne McGeorge established McGeorge School of Law, American department store Weinstock & Lubin opened at 12th and K street, Sacramentos drinking water became filtered and treated drinking water, and Sacramento boxer Georgie Lee fought Francisco Guilledo, a Filipino professional boxer known as Pancho Villa, at Sacramentos L Street Auditorium on March 21 for the flyweight boxing championship of the world.</p><br>
<p>Designed by architect Kenneth MacDonald with collaboration from theater architect G. Albert Lansburgh, the $2 million Senator Hotel was built in 1923–1924 and opened in late August 1924 at 1121 L Street to provide lodging and meeting rooms to Californias state politicians and others having government and commercial business in Sacramento. Along with other 12th Street structures, such as the state Capitol, Francesca Apartments, erected in 1924, Weinstocks department store, and a Bank of America, the Senator Hotel became part of one of California&#39;s then-newest and trendiest commercial shopping centers.</p><br>
<p>Silent film star Buster Keaton stayed at the hotel with his production company in the summer of 1927 while filming the 1928 feature-length comedy Steamboat Bill, Jr. A few months later, adventure pilot Charles Lindbergh was honored in the hotels Florentine Room for his May 1927 historic flight from New York to Paris, France. From the 1930s to the 1950s, the Senator Hotel served as the center of political activity in the capital. Legislators and lobbyists would sit in wicker chairs in the buildings lobby, making one political deal after another deal regarding oil, liquor, railroading, electric utilities, and other areas. Max Baer, a Sacramento boxer and one-time , frequented the hotel in the 1930s where he "showed off his latest beauty" in the Senator Hotel lobby. Arthur Samish, one of the most influential and powerful individual lobbyists in the history of California, maintained a lavish suite at the hotel during the 1930s and 1940s.</p><br>
<p>Dr Martin Luther King Jr stayed at the Senator Hotel. In the 1940s, American author Joan Didion auditioned in the hotel for a Pasadena Playhouse theater part at a casting call and Pulitzer Prize-winning dramatist and author William Saroyan frequented the hotel bar. In 1954, Washington Redskins coach Curly Lambeau was fired after arguing with that professional football team&#39;s owner in the Senator Hotel lobby. In the late 1950s, Stan Kenton and his controversial jazz orchestra held concerts in the Empire Room of the Senator Hotel. Throughout the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, politicians such as Governors Jerry Brown and Ronald Reagan and Presidents Richard Nixon and Jimmy Carter spent time in the hotel. President Gerald Ford spent the night at the Senator Hotel before the September 5, 1975 assassination attempt on him by Manson family disciple Squeaky Fromme.</p><br>
<p>In early 1979, retired Major League Baseball player Mickey Mantle received $2,000 to attend the National Association of Health Underwriters of Sacramento convention at the Senator Hotel. In May 1979, the Senator Hotel was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the hotel was closed down because of 79 fire-safety and building-code violations. The building then was shuttered with panels placed over windows. That left Sacramento as the only city in the 25 largest metropolitan regions in the United States without a major historic hotel. Sacramento developer Marvin "Buzz" Oates purchased the Senator Hotel in November 1979 for $2.5 million and spent $15 million over the next eight years renovating the building. Oates reopened the building an office building in 1983 under the name "Senator Hotel Office Building" to give lobbyists short-distance access to Californias state politicians. Equitable Real Estate Investment Management purchased the Senator Hotel in October 1987 for $30 million. Due to the 2007–2012 global economic crisis, the Senator Hotels business occupancy level dropped to 60 percent and the previous owners lost property ownership to the Florida-based mortgage holder in 2012. The hotel was listed for sale in October 2012.</p><br>

<p>Fox Sagar Lake, also Jeedimetla Cheruvu or Kolla Cheruvu, is the fifth largest lake, spread over 2 km, in Hyderabad, India. It is located in Jeedimetla near Kompally, Hyderabad. The lake is popular for fishing and a popular spot for picnics.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>It is famous for its natural beauty known locally as Kolla Cheruvu, the Nizam constructed a dam on the lake naming it Fox Sagar in 1897, as part 31 lakes created for improving water sources for the city of Hyderabad. A pump house was built on the bund, constructed in a typical Nizam architecture. It, at the time, provided drinking and irrigation for nearby villages.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The lake is spread over 2 km. It is home to flamingos, yellow-billed storks, ospreys, grey herons, great cormorants, kingfishers, baya weavers, garganeys, among others. It is often visited by bird watchers.</p><br>
<p>The Meigs County Fairgrounds is a county fairgrounds located north of Pomeroy in Meigs County, Ohio, United States. Some of the fairgrounds has been designated a historic site, with particular emphasis having been placed on the fairgrounds&#39; racetrack and its associated grandstand.</p><br>
<p>The first Meigs County Fair was held in the village of Middleport in 1861. Within nine years, the fair&#39;s organizers had bought the land occupied by the current grounds. The construction dates of some elements of the grounds are unknown, but the present sharply-curved racetrack was finished in 1889 or earlier. In 1890, donations by average citizens paid for the construction of a grandstand by the track to supplement a nearby hillside where fairgoers had previously sat. Instead of being placed simply along one side of the track, the grandstand curves around the northeastern turn of the track; it is the only curved grandstand at an Ohio county fairgrounds.</p><br>
<p>In 1982, much of the fairgrounds, including the racetrack and grandstand, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Besides the unusual method of construction seen in the grandstand and track, the fairgrounds qualified for its importance in the area&#39;s social history as a reflection of the importance of fairgoing, especially harness racing at the track, to Meigs County residents.</p><br>
<p>The James Nicholson House is a notable early 19th-century residence in Charleston, South Carolina which has housed the Ashley Hall school since 1909. The house was built ca. 1816 for Patrick Duncan. The architect for the house is not known, but authorities cite William Jay as its possible designer; he worked in Charleston and Savannah between 1817 and 1822. James Nicholson owned the property from 1829 to 1838 when James R. Pringle bought it; after Pringles death, his family sold it in 1845 Secretary of the Confederate Treasury George Trenholm. From 1877 to 1909, it was the home of Charles Otto Wittes family.</p><br>
<p>The Classical Revival building is stuccoed brick. The main two floors are above a high, rusticated basement. The portico is supported by four giant-order Ionic columns with Renaissance capitals. The pediment has a three-part Gothic window. Originally open (as seen in the 1876 photograph to the left), the arches of the basement have been enclosed with windows.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed in the National Register August 30, 1974.</p><br>
<p>Darby Plantation plantation house was built by Nathaniel Lipscomb Griffith, the father of Anne Patience Griffith, at the time of her marriage to Edgefield lawyer Milledge Luke Bonham. It has a deep wraparound porch supported by twelve columns. The main rooms are twenty feet by twenty feet with twelve foot ceilings, and the house is built of pine. When Bonham returned from the United States war with Mexico, he was elected to the USA House of Representatives. At the outbreak of the Civil War, Bonham was put in charge of South Carolinas volunteer army and served with distinction. In 1862, he resigned his commission and became governor of South Carolina. In 1863, the house was sold to Confederate Secretary of the Treasury George Trenholm. During the Civil War, the house was used as a storage place for some of the items from the Charleston Museum. Since 1878, the plantation has been owned by the Wise family.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed in the National Register August 13, 1974.</p><br>
<p>The Lincoln Bank Building is a building on Hennepin Avenue in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in October 2012.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>Lincoln National Bank was established in 1917 by Harry Pence, a local automobile magnate, and a number of other backers. They had planned to name it the "Second National Bank", but the Treasury Department refused that name since they were not actually the second bank organized. Pence adopted the name of Abraham Lincoln because, "it carries with it his well-known characteristics of strength, ability, fidelity, firmness, faithfulness, loyalty, conservatism, etc., attributes very desirable in a national bank."</p><br>
<h2>Locations</h2><br>
<p>The bank&#39;s location was chosen to provide service to the automobile trade and similar businesses along Hennepin Avenue at the time, along with the nearby warehouse district and the markets along Second Avenue North. The established financial district in Minneapolis was along Marquette Avenue, two blocks to the east, but Pence saw the value in providing a bank with its mission "to take care of the automobile business and, in general, to serve downtown Hennepin Avenue business interests."</p><br>
<p>The original home for the bank was at 809 Hennepin Avenue, but the bank&#39;s business grew so well that larger quarters were needed. Lincoln National Bank had also established an affiliate, Lincoln Trust and Savings Bank. In 1919, Harry Pence announced plans to build a new bank building at 730 Hennepin Avenue, directly across 8th Street from his Pence Automobile Company Building. The new building was designed by Long, Lamoreaux and Long, the same architects as the earlier building, and was completed for a cost of about $1 million. The eight-story building opened on August 9, 1921, and housed both the Lincoln National Bank and the Lincoln Trust and Savings Bank. The seven upper floors of the building were leased out for offices.</p><br>
<h2>Branch offices</h2><br>
<p>In 1921, Daniel Richard Crissinger was appointed as the Comptroller of the Currency and shifted the regulatory stance on national banks. Previous comptrollers did not allow national banks to establish branch offices, but the new comptroller decided that, "there was no restriction on the number of branch offices a bank could establish as long as they were within the city limits mentioned in its charter." As a result, the two largest banks, Northwestern National Bank (now Wells Fargo) and First National Bank (now USA Bank) started acquiring smaller banks and turning them into branch offices.</p><br>
<p>The Lincoln National Bank and Lincoln Trust and Savings Bank were acquired by Northwestern National Bank, in a move that promised customers business "as usual and with practically the same people, but with the added advantages of doing business with the Northwestern National Bank and its entire facilities, both as to domestic and foreign business."</p><br>
<h2>Residential conversion</h2><br>
<p>In 2013, the Lincoln Bank Building was approved for the residential development of its top seven floors.</p><br>
<p>Old Ipswich Town Hall is a heritage-listed former town hall at 116 Brisbane Street, Ipswich, City of Ipswich, Queensland, Australia. It was designed by James Percy Owen Cowlishaw and built from 1861 to 1879. It is also known as Mechanics School of Arts and the School of Arts. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992.</p><br>
<p>Since its inception in 1861 the building has had many uses, and several extensions. The old town hall was originally the Ipswich School of Arts incorporating a library and meeting rooms. The façade of the building fronting Brisbane Street dates from 1864 and is 2 stories of brick with render finish and rich decoration.</p><br>
<p>The Ipswich Town Council assumed control of the building in 1869 when the School of Arts committee experienced financial problems. By 1892 it was felt that the town hall was too small and an extension was designed by well-known architect George Brockwell Gill who is responsible for many beautiful and heritage listed buildings in Ipswich.</p><br>
<p>In the late 19th century and first half of the 20th century the hall was used for adult education classes, staging of plays and concerts, boxing tournaments, immunisation clinics, and the Red Cross Chelsea Flower Show. During the 1940s dances were a big drawcard. The hall closed to the public and became council offices in 1969.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Old Ipswich Town Hall is a two-storeyed painted rendered masonry building with a clock tower and a hipped corrugated iron roof at the rear. It is located in the centre of Ipswich fronting Brisbane Street to the north.</p><br>
<p>A Deed of Grant for the original land content, allotments 10 and 23 of section 5, was issued on 7 September 1861 for School of Arts purposes to the trustees Benjamin Cribb, Charles Gray, Frederick Forbes, George Thorn and Henry Challinor. The building was constructed in three stages, with the rear section in 1861, the Brisbane Street section in 1864, and the clock tower in 1879.</p><br>
<p>Schools of Arts were synonymous with Mechanics Institutes, established in Britain early in the 19th century, and transplanted throughout the British Empire during the colonial era. The movement was instituted by George Birkbeck, who in 1800 established a class for journeymen mechanics in Glasgow, and later formed the first Mechanics Institute in London in 1824. The purpose of forming such an institute was to improve the education of working men, and to instruct them in various trades. By the late 19th century, Mechanics&#39; Institutes had become popular agencies of adult education in general.</p><br>
<p>Mechanics Institutes were part of a wider 19th century movement promoting popular education in Britain, at which time co-operative societies, working mens colleges and the university extension movement were established. The call for popular education in turn can be contextualised within the broader liberal, laissez-faire, non-interventionist philosophy which dominated British social, economic and political ideologies in the 19th century. In this environment, Mechanics&#39; Institutes flourished as a means by which working men might improve their lot, either through self-education (the provision of reading rooms was an important facility provided by the Institutes), or by participating in instructional classes organised and funded by Institute members.</p><br>
<p>In the Australian colonies, Mechanics&#39; Institutes were more likely to be called Schools of Arts, and they were more likely to be run by the middle-classes. The provision of reading rooms, museums, lectures and classes were still important, but the Australian schools were also more likely to include a social programme in their calendar of events.</p><br>
<p>The Ipswich Literary Institution was formed at a public meeting held on 31 July 1850, with its aim being to provide a news room and library. Six days later another public meeting established a School of Arts merging with the Ipswich Literary Institution for the purpose of obtaining the New South Wales Government subsidy (the establishment of Queensland as a separate state did not occur until 1859) which was being made available to Schools of Arts.</p><br>
<p>In July 1854 the name of the literary institution of the School of Arts became the Ipswich Subscription Library and reading room. At a further public meeting on 11 August 1858 the School of Arts Society again changed its name to the Mechanics School of Arts and soon after made an application to the New South Wales Government for a grant of land for the purpose of erecting a permanent School of Arts building. Records indicate that at the time a cottage formerly used as the Courthouse was being occupied.</p><br>
<p>The Government selected the site of the old Courthouse and lock-up in Brisbane Street and the foundation stone was laid on Thursday 7 February 1861 by the first Queensland Governor George Bowen. The Governor officially opened the Mechanics School of Arts on 24 October 1861, and in his speech Governor Bowen said:Let me observe that I give what has been called the "glorious title of the working classes" not to those only who earn their living by the labour of the hand, but to those also who earn their living by the more anxious and weary labour of the brain. In one or other sense all men in Ipswich are working men.The first stage section, set back from the Brisbane Street frontage, housed a library and meeting rooms which were used for civic events, evening classes and for entertainment purposes. The hall originally had an exposed truss roof, but a plaster ceiling was installed in 1878 to improve the room&#39;s acoustics. The ceiling incorporated iron bolts with rings for the convenience of acrobats, trapeze artists and other aerial performers. Gas was officially turned on in Ipswich on 15 August 1878, and two large "sunlights" containing 16 burners each were installed in the building.</p><br>
<p>The Ipswich Municipal Council had applied to the Government for a grant of land on the southeast corner of East and Roderick Streets for the purposes of building a town hall and a depot for tools and other equipment. This was granted early in 1861 but a further request for money to build the town hall was refused and the Council continued to use a small room in the old Courthouse on a temporary basis. The Council explored a number of options for more permanent premises against a background of opposition from ratepayers who at one time submitted a petition objecting to the erection of a town hall. For a period of seven years the Council occupied a brick building owned by George Thorn in East Street. In 1863 the council requested the School of Arts committee to erect an addition to their building for the purposes of town hall offices.</p><br>
<p>The School of Arts committee had intended to extend their building towards Brisbane Street for their own use, and plans were made for an addition. The ground floor of the two-storeyed addition was to be let as offices for public institutions, and the first floor was to be a reading room, library, committee room and classrooms. Tenders were called in 1864, and by 18 June 1864 Mr James Cowlishaw had been appointed architect.</p><br>
<p>The trustees had borrowed £2,000 in 1865, and when the date of release of the mortgage arrived, the trustees were unable to pay monies due. The School of Arts committee approached the Council in November 1868 with a proposal that the Ipswich Municipal Council undertake the management of the School of Arts, and in 1869 the mortgagor sold the land to the Ipswich Municipal Council for £2,465. In August 1889 a residence (no longer extant) was built for the School of Arts librarian fronting Limestone Street at the rear of the hall.</p><br>
<p>Following the death of Governor Samuel Blackall (1809-1871), a memorial committee was formed to present a turret clock to the town of Ipswich as a suitable memorial. The position favoured was the School of Arts building, and on 13 November 1879 it was reported that the town clock was illuminated for the first time. The clock was illuminated by gas flame, and the tower was designed by Queensland Colonial Architect Mr Francis Drummond Greville Stanley. The lighting of the clock was unsuccessful, and in 1896 it was reported that the town clock has loved darkness rather than light for a great many years, as the heat arising from the burners interfered with the workings of the machinery.</p><br>
<p>In 1901 the new Ipswich Post Office with a tall clock tower was built next door, at which time Ipswich had two clocks side by side, generally unsynchronised. This continued until 1912 when the Post Office clock was illuminated. Tenders were called in December 1912 for the sale of the Town Hall clock which was eventually sold to the Sandgate Town Council for their new council chambers, the Sandgate Town Hall.</p><br>
<p>By 1917 the Ipswich Council had outgrown its premises, and plans were drawn up by architect George Brockwell Gill for a second storey, but at £1,200 the idea was abandoned. In 1937 the Council was renting additional accommodation in the Soldiers Memorial Hall, and plans were prepared by architect Douglas Francis Woodcraft Roberts for a new town hall and auditorium to seat 1800 people. This was also abandoned, as 1,500 ratepayers petitioned against the building. A compromise solution involved the council purchasing the adjacent St Pauls Young Men&#39;s Club in June 1938, and major renovation works to the town hall were completed by builders Harper and Vincent in 1941. These were the last works to be carried out on the building until the 1970s.</p><br>
<p>In 1947 the adjacent Bank of Australasia building was renovated to house the School of Arts Library, and in 1948 the Ipswich Council formally took over control of the library. A new Ipswich Civic Centre was opened in July 1975 at the corner of Limestone and Nicholas Streets by the Prime Minister Gough Whitlam. The council converted the old auditorium and stage area of the Old Town Hall to office space, and the Council Chambers remained in the front section of the Old Town Hall. The library was relocated from the former Bank of Australasia building to the former St Pauls Young Men&#39;s Club, and the rates office was transferred from the Old Town Hall to the former Bank of Australasia building. The council finally moved out in 1985 when a new council administrative building was completed in South Street, and the library was moved to rented premises and a City Council Art Gallery was located in its place.</p><br>
<p>After the destruction by fire of Reids Department Store in August 1985, the Old Town Hall building was converted into retail space, including the installation of a concrete mezzanine floor in the hall. In 1995, an hydraulic lift was installed in the main hall space linking the mezzanine floor to the ground floor and a steel fire stair was constructed on the east side.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The building consists of three stages, with the original 1861 hall at the rear, the 1864 section fronting Brisbane Street, and a clock tower added in 1879.</p><br>
<p>The Brisbane Street section has a symmetrical ornately decorated facade with classical detailing to the street, which consists of a wide central bay with a projecting narrower bay to either side. The ground floor has three arches to the central section, with one arch to either side, with coursed render expressing voussoirs and a vermiculated base. The central arches open to an entrance portico and are accessed via wide steps, with the side arches housing window displays. The first floor is composed similarly, with the three central arches originally to a loggia, but now glazed. These arches have expressed imposts, vermiculated keystones, and decorative mouldings to voussoir and abutments. The side arches house tall narrow sash windows which have similar imposts, voussoirs, keystones and abutment treatments, and which are flanked by circular Ionic pilasters with square Ionic pilasters at the corners of the projecting bay. The pilasters are supported by a deep base, either side of an enclosed balustrade panel of interlocking circles, and in turn support a heavy entablature with a parapet above which has open balustrade panels of interlocking circles.</p><br>
<p>The clock tower, square in plan, has paired square Corinthian pilasters at each corner supporting an entablature with pediment to each face. The clock faces have been removed, and are now blank. A cantilevered awning has been added to the central section above the ground level, and slightly projects from the building with an edging which mimics the base of the pilasters, but which obscures the former loggia&#39;s open balustrade details.</p><br>
<p>The rear hall was built as a single-storeyed high ceiling structure with a basement to the south. The structure is now two-storeyed with basement, due to the insertion of the mezzanine floor during the 1980s. The building has a corrugated iron hipped roof with ridge ventilators, expressed banding at ground floor and mezzanine level and tall arched windows along the east and west elevations. Door openings have been made in the west wall to allow access to an adjoining recently created public square, and evidence of earlier door and window openings which have been closed over can be seen in the north and south ends of the building. The south elevation, originally the rear of the stage area, has large arched header sash windows to the ground level and three closed over circular openings to the mezzanine level. The basement level has a door flanked by two arched header sash windows either side of a large central arched opening. The opening has been glazed and has a large tiled awning. A steel fire stair has been added to the east elevation.</p><br>
<p>Internally, the ground floor has a central foyer with paired panelled timber doors in an amber glass panel sidelights and fanlight assembly. Retail tenancies are located to either side, and have been remodelled several times. Toilets and store are located behind these, and a turned cedar staircase with square newel posts accesses the first floor. Walls are rendered, and an arched opening leads into the hall at the rear with a timber ramp accommodating a change in floor level. The hall space has ashlar scribed rendered walls, and has undergone several modifications, including a concrete mezzanine floor with central opening, twin staircases from the mezzanine level to the rear stage area, a central hydraulic lift shaft, and several openings in exterior walls. The rear stage area has a proscenium arch with classical details including side pilasters, entablature and keystone. The stage area is accessed via a central stair, and has a narrow stair in the southwest corner accessing the basement level.</p><br>
<p>The first floor of the Brisbane Street section has a central reception area with a skylight and offices to exterior walls. The mezzanine level has a hardboard panelled ceiling with cover strip mouldings and curved edges to side walls. The top of the tall sash windows project above the floor level and light the floor area, and arches either side of the proscenium arch access the top level of the stage area. This area has a hipped boarded timber ceiling. The basement level houses toilets and storeroom.</p><br>
<p>The rear of the site has a bitumen surfaced carpark.</p><br>

<p>The South Carolina State Arsenal  in Charleston, South Carolina was built in 1829 after a planned 1822 slave revolt led by Denmark Vesey. In 1842 the South Carolina Military Academy, a liberal arts military college, was established by the state legislature, and the school took over the arsenal the following year. The school became known as The Citadel because of the appearance of its building. From 1865 to 1881, during Reconstruction in Charleston, Federal troops occupied the Citadel, and the school was closed. Classes resumed in 1882 and continued here until the school was relocated to a campus on the banks of the Ashley River in 1922.</p><br>
<p>Frederick Wesner and Edward Brickell White are credited with the Citadel&#39;s design. The original State Arsenal building was a two-story brick building around a courtyard, designed by Wesner. White was responsible for changes to the building about 1850, and added the third floor and wings. A fourth floor was added in 1910.</p><br>
<p>Charleston County used the building for government offices during much of the 20th century. In 1994 a local development firm renovated the building for use as a hotel.</p><br>
<p>Chester Springs Historic District, also known as The Old Art School, Orphan&#39;s School, Yellow Springs Spa, and Good News Buildings, is a national historic district located in West Pikeland Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania. The district includes 7 contributing buildings, 1 contributing site, and 1 contributing structure in the spa community of Chester Springs. The district includes the old hotel and inn, two large residences, a bath house at one end of the springs, and a studio. It also includes a wooden summer house that enclosed the iron springs. The property was the site of a hospital commissioned by the Continental Congress and built in 1777. The three-story, 106 feet by 36 feet wide building burned in 1902, was reconstructed, then burned again in the 1960s. The Yellow Springs resort operated in the early-mid 19th century and many of the buildings date from that period.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.</p><br>
<p>The Great Escarpment in eastern Australia is an escarpment that runs east of the Great Dividing Range along most of the east of the continent. It was created due to formation of a new continental margin in the Mesozoic, followed by tectonic uplifting of the divide and then scarp retreat. The escarpment is estimated to be approximately 3,600 km in length, from north to south.</p><br>
<h2>Formation</h2><br>
<p>The Great Escarpment formed about 80 million years ago due to scarp retreat from a new continental edge formed by rifting.</p><br>
<p>This was similar to the model in the western rift of East Africa. The Great Divide is an upwarp that lies tens or hundreds of kilometers from the chasmic fault of the continental margin, creating a drainage divide.</p><br>
<p>The sequence of formation appears to have started with erosion of the plain and formation of a river pattern. There were then widespread flows of basalt, after which the Great Divide lifted, and finally the Great Escarpment formed through scarp retreat.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Great Escarpment rises to several hundred meters. To the east, the coastal zone is relatively flat with fast erosional process rate and few landscape palaeoforms. To the west there are many palaeoforms and process rates are slow. The escarpment forms a series of bluffs along the eastern edge of plateau that stretches east from the Great Dividing Range. In places the escarpment is between 200 to 300 km closer to the sea than the range. The escarpment is cut by narrow gorges that carry rivers to the sea. These rivers have eroded the tableland between the Great Divide and the escarpment, sometimes leaving parts of the plateau standing out in isolation to the east.</p><br>
<p>Elverson Historic District is a national historic district located in Elverson, Chester County, Pennsylvania. The district includes 133 contributing buildings, 3 contributing sites, and 4 contributing structures in the central business district and surrounding residential areas of Elverson. The district includes a variety of residential, commercial, and institutional buildings with examples of Bungalow/craftsman, Georgian, and Gothic Revival architecture. Contributing buildings date from about 1750 to about 1930. Notable buildings include "The Bank House" , train station , Springfield M.E. Church , Blue Rock Hotel , Dengler Bro. Store , Whoye Horse Tavern , The Creamery , and Springfield School . One of the contributing structures is the railroad car "Baltimore County."</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<p>The Lathe of Sutton-at-Hone historically included a large part of Kent, including the present-day boroughs of Dartford, Bexley, Greenwich, Bromley, Lewisham and Sevenoaks District.</p><br>
<p>It was named after the village and parish of Sutton at Hone in the Darent valley.</p><br>
<p>The lathe was an ancient administrative division of Kent and originated, probably in the 6th century AD, during the Jutish colonisation of the county. It was not unusual for the Anglo-Saxons to establish their juridical and administrative centres a short distance from more populous towns. In this case Sutton at Hone is about two miles from Dartford, one of only four royal manors in Kent at the time of the Domesday Book.</p><br>
<p>At that time, Sutton was ranked as a "Half Lathe", as was Milton, to which it was not connected. Alongside these two Half Lathes were five (full) Lathes: Aylesford, Borough, Eastry, Lympne (later renamed Shepway) and Wye. By 1295 Sutton had been promoted to a full lathe, while alongside it were only four other lathes. This was because Borough and Eastry had merged into the Lathe of Saint Augustine, while Milton and Wye had merged to form the Lathe of Scray.</p><br>
<p>The Lathe continued to be an important administrative, judicial and taxation unit for 600 years after the Domesday Book. The functions of Lathe and hundreds were somewhat similar, with a Lathe covering a much wider area. Although never formerly abolished, it has had no administrative functions since the end of the 19th century. The Sheriff toured the county twice yearly, visiting each lathe: in the case of Sutton, possibly at Shire Hall. The lathe was responsible for raising of aids and subsidies for the Militia. However the Lathe court became anomalous as it fell between the hundred courts below and the Justices of the County (in petty and quarter sessions) above</p><br>
<p>The Lathe of Sutton was mentioned in The London Gazette as late as 1899.</p><br>
<p>According to Hasted, the Lathe of Sutton consisted of the following Hundreds:</p><br>
<p>Blackheath</p><br>
<p>Bromley and Beckenham</p><br>
<p>Ruxley</p><br>
<p>Little and Lesnes</p><br>
<p>Dartford and Wilmington</p><br>
<p>Axstane</p><br>
<p>Codsheath</p><br>
<p>Westerham and Edenbridge</p><br>
<p>Somerden</p><br>
<p>The lathe was the most westerly of the lathes into which Kent was divided. The first four hundreds in the above list now collectively form the London boroughs of Greenwich, Bexley and Bromley, except for Penge which was not originally in the county of Kent.</p><br>
<p>Dartford and Wilmington Hundred is now in the borough of Dartford. Axstane hundred is now divided between the districts of Dartford and Sevenoaks, while the last three hundreds form the remainder of Sevenoaks District, except that Somerden and therefore the Lathe of Sutton included part of the parish of Speldhurst, which is now in Royal Tunbridge Wells. Thus the boundary of the Lathe with the rest of Kent is still in existence, with minor deviations, as the boundaries of Dartford and Sevenoaks with the rest of Kent.</p><br>
<p>The Lathe of Sutton has an area of 173,440 acres (271 sq. miles or 702 km).</p><br>
<p>Mount Sniktau is a high mountain summit in the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains of North America. The 13,240 ft thirteener is located in Arapaho National Forest, 2.5 km northeast  of Loveland Pass in Clear Creek County, Colorado, United States.</p><br>
<h2>Name</h2><br>
<p>The name "Sniktau" refers to the pen name of Edwin H. N. Patterson, a journalist in the Clear Creek County area during the 1860s. Patterson was a close friend of the famous poet, Edgar Allan Poe, and the two men are known to have exchanged letters in the 1840s.</p><br>
<p>Patterson claimed to have received the nickname "Sniktau" from Native Americans, although it may simply have been adopted from a fellow journalist named W. F. Watkins, who had reversed the letters of his own name to create the pen name "Sniktaw." Patterson had moved to Colorado from his native Oquawka, Illinois, in 1875 to become editor of the Colorado Miner, a newspaper printed in Georgetown, roughly 15 miles from the mountain. He is buried in Alvarado Cemetery, located near Georgetown.</p><br>
<h2>Location and geography</h2><br>
<p>Mount Sniktau sits immediately east of the Continental Divide on the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. The summit is located less than a mile south of Interstate 70 and east of the Eisenhower Tunnel. The larger Grays Peak, Torreys Peak, and Mount Parnassus sit within a 5 mi radius of Mount Sniktau, and the closest major town is Silver Plume. By car, Mount Sniktau sits within the Arapaho National Forest and is roughly one hour west of Denver.</p><br>
<p>The mountain&#39;s immediate drainage basin is the South Platte River. Ultimately, runoff from the peak reaches the Platte River, the Missouri River, the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico.</p><br>
<h2>Hiking</h2><br>
<p>The Mount Sniktau trail, which allows hikers to reach the summit of the mountain by foot, is accessible immediately off of a parking lot at Loveland Pass on USA Highway 6. The trailhead begins above the treeline at about 12,000 ft and rises to 13,234 ft at the peak, but reaching the summit does not necessarily require the use of extra mountain climbing equipment such as ropes. Visitors can also reach Grizzly Peak, a nearby mountain (not to be confused with the taller Grizzly Peak in Chaffee County), from the same point along Loveland Pass.</p><br>
<p>The walk from the trailhead at Loveland Pass to the peak measures about two miles, but it features an elevation gain of over 1,000 ft in the initial mile of hiking. Because of its relatively convenient accessibility by automobile from population centers like Denver, Boulder, and Breckenridge, the mountain is a popular destination for hikers.</p><br>
<p>From the summit, hikers see Loveland Pass below them at 11,990 ft, plus views of nearby Grizzly Peak, Grays Peak, Torreys Peak and the Gore Range. Also visible are the skiing runs of the adjacent Loveland Ski Area, as well as those of Arapahoe Basin, Keystone, and Breckenridge across the Divide in Summit County.</p><br>
<h2>Proposed Olympic venue</h2><br>
<p>When the International Olympic Committee awarded the 1976 Winter Olympics to Denver in May 1970, the local organizers&#39; proposal included the development of Mount Sniktau as the primary venue for alpine ski racing for downhill and giant slalom, with slalom at Loveland Ski Area. By early 1972, it was decided to move the alpine events to Vail because the proposals did not meet the Olympic standards. In November 1972, Colorado voters rejected public funding for the Olympics, and the Games were soon relocated to Innsbruck, Austria.</p><br>

<p>MacDuff&#39;s Cross, also known as the Cross of MacDuff or Ninewells, is the remains of an ancient white sandstone monument, located on a historic site between Lindores and Newburgh in Fife, Scotland. Robert Sibbald suggested the date of its construction to have been 1059 CE, however earlier dates have been considered.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>It is located beside a minor road west of Black Cairn Hill, around 1 mi southwest of Newburgh, where only the pedestal remains of what once was supposedly a cross. The stone is 3.75 ft high, 4.55 ft in length and 3.75 ft wide. There are various indents on the monument, suggested to have originally been nine cup and ring marks. Other crosses exist in Mortlach, Aberdeenshire; Kiels, Inverary; Strathlacplan, Argyll; and on Iona, Islay and Oronsay.</p><br>
<h2>Law of Clan MacDuff</h2><br>
<p>The cross is supposed to mark the spot where the clan Macduff, in return for its chief&#39;s services against Macbeth, was granted rights of sanctuary and composition for murder done in hot blood. This legend suggests a penalty of nine cows and a heifer for such a crime. Shortly after the death of Macbeth, King of Scotland, Malcolm III of Scotland was also supposed to have bestowed on the Thane of Fife the privilege of ordaining the King, and leading the charge in battle. The cross was originally dedicated to Saint Magider and smashed to pieces by a mob of fanatical followers of John Knox in 1559.</p><br>
<h2>Inscription</h2><br>
<p>MacDuff&#39;s cross was said to have been marked with a "metrical inscription, in a strange half-Latin jargon, the varying copies of which, still preserved, have given much occupation to antiquaries". After studying two early translations, Walter Wood suggested that it read "An altar for those whom law pursues, a hall for those whom strife pursues, being without a home. Who makest thy way hither, to thee this paction becomes a harbour. But there is hope of peace only when the murder has been committed by those born of my grandson. I set free the accused, a fine of a thousand drachms from his lands. On account of Macgridin and of this offering, take once for all the cleansing of my heirs beneath this stone filled with water."</p><br>
<p>Laojun Mountain is a mountain in the northwest part of Yunnan Province, China. It is part of the Laojun Mountain region, which includes an area of 1,085 km&sup2; with elevations ranging from 2100 to 4513 m. The region includes four counties: Yulong, Jianchuan, Lanping, and Weixi. The western part of the region adjoins the Lancang River, while the eastern part is contiguous with the Jinsha River. The region was included in the Three Parallel Rivers UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2003, and the Laojun Mountain National Park was announced in January 2009.</p><br>
<h2>Conservation</h2><br>
<p>Laojun Mountain region is a biodiversity hotspot. Laojun Mountain has over 170 species of macrofungi (mushrooms), about 10% of all rhododendrons in the world, and it is one of the few remaining places where the endangered Yunnan snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus bieti) can be found.</p><br>
<p>The Schermützelsee is a lake in Brandenburg, Germany. It is located in the town of Buckow in the district Märkisch-Oderland northwest of Müncheberg and 45 km east of the Berlin centre. With its surface area of 1.37 km² it is the largest water in the hill country „Märkische Schweiz“ and in the Märkische Schweiz Nature Park.</p><br>
<p>At an elevation of 26,5 m, its depth is maximal 38 m. The lake is fed by the Sophienfließ and groundwater. An approximately 7,5 kilometres long walking path leads around the Schermützelsee. At the northeastern shore there is situated the „Strandbad Buckow“, a public lido/beach with a diving tower, beach café and rowboat rental; it was opened in 1911. On the sea the passenger ship „MS Scherri“ is in operation since 1992, which was built in 1879 by the Reiherstiegwerft in Hamburg. First named „Reiher“ the ship started up 1879 on the Alster.</p><br>
<p>At the eastern shore is located the listed „Brecht-Weigel-Haus“. Bertolt Brecht and the actress Helene Weigel were working in the summerhouse since 1952 (and Weigel alone after the death of Brecht in 1956). Since 1977 the house is used as museum and memorial to the artist couple. Listed is the whole ensemble, including some buildings as well as the garden with sculptures, sea-balustrade, water tower, boathouse and landing stage.</p><br>
<p>The E.W. Grove Henry County High School building, also known as Grove Tower, is a historic building located on Grove Boulevard in Paris, Henry County, Tennessee. It is a "two story and basement building of gray pressed brick," the first of a few buildings comprising the Grove School campus. Grove High School was the first privately endowed public high school in Tennessee, opening in 1906. It was closed after graduating the class of 1969 and replaced by Henry County High School. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Endowment & Building</h2><br>
<p>Edwin Wiley Grove, a former resident and businessman of Paris, Tennessee and formulator of Grove&#39;s Tasteless Chill Tonic, first offered to endow a public high school there on 9 April 1902. This offer stipulated that the county "establish and arrange for its maintenance." The Henry County Quarterly Court rejected this offer, citing the prevalence of smallpox in the county over the previous three years but "recognizing in it a high and philanthropic motive."</p><br>
<p>A second offer was made by Grove on 3 July 1905. Its terms stated that if the county and city would appropriate a sum of not less than $40,000 for the purposes of purchasing grounds, Grove would endow the school in the amount of $50,000 for the perpetual maintenance and operation. A board of trustees was further specified to handle the endowment. The court voted of 23 to 4 in favor of this offer.</p><br>
<p>Grove personally chose the site of the school on what was then known as Jernigan Heights, previously known as McCampbells Hill, the highest point in west Tennessee. T. P. Jernigan, the land owner, donated the 17 and one half acres chosen. The county acquired further land adjoining the site at a cost of $4,650. The cornerstone was ceremoniously laid by the Paris Masonic Lodge on 26 June 1906. A bottle of Groves Tasteless Chill Tonic was placed in inside.</p><br>
<p>Classes began in September 1906 in the library and council room of Paris City Hall until Christmas when Grove Tower building was finished.</p><br>
<p>Total expenditure in building the school was $46,400 paid in part by Henry county, the city of Paris and contributions from citizens. The building was designed by architect Reuben Harrison Hunt at a cost of $841.77. Joseph Tremby contracted for construction of the building, for which he was paid $28,946.89 and S. J. Veltman contracted for heating, plumbing and sewage for which he was paid $3,179.40, $1,459.60 and $525 respectively. Property for the school was a mix of donation and purchase at a cost of $4,650.00.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Grove High School’s first football team, the Chill Tonics, were coached by co-principal Dr. Clovis Chappell. Their uniforms were provided by E. W. Grove and Barton Field was donated by Col. O. C. Barton.</p><br>
<p>The first graduates of Grove High School were Louise Johnsonius and Fern Madole. They were awarded their diplomas on a Sunday night in 1908 at a tent revival held in Paris by Rev. Lynn Broughton.</p><br>
<p>By 1910, the school was reported to have 150 pupils. About $15,000 had been raised by that time with the interest of building a dormitory for girls. Cavitt Hall, a two story and basement dormitory was completed by the summer of 1910 with contributions from E. W. Grove, Col. and Mrs. O. C. Barton, J. C. Rainey, A. H. Lankford and other citizens of Henry County. It was named for the family of Mrs. Barton. In 1924, it was converted to a home economics department and the basement continued to be used as a cafeteria until 1949.</p><br>
<p>In 1912, E. W. Grove began sending a regular payment of $150 to the principal with instructions that it be used to purchase fruit for the students. When the principal instead used it to improve the road leading up to the school, Grove stopped the payment.</p><br>
<p>Dudley M. Clements, a popular Grove teacher and County Demonstration Agent for Henry County, established the nation’s first vocational agricultural program in 1917 under the Smith-Hughes Act. In 1919, he was appointed State Superintendent of Vocational Agriculture.</p><br>
<p>When Grove died in January 1927, his estate settled with the school&#39;s board of trust to make a final payment of $81,000 and terminate any regular monies paid as part of his original endowment.</p><br>
<p>Edwin Wiley Grove, Jr. took great interest in the school where his father left off. In 1931, he expressed the desire to memorialize his father by erecting several new buildings for manual training and commercial departments. His stipulation was that the county maintain the school as a "first class grade school." The county court minutes addressing this proposal estimate maintenance between $3,000 and $4,000 per year and, despite the bad economic condition of the county at the time, the proposal was accepted. Other contributions were made by Grove for beautification of the campus and for the endeavors of the Parent Teacher Association. After the death of E. W. Grove, Jr. in May 1934, a building was completed in 1937 designed as a gymnasium with rooms for manual training and commercial shops. Funds and labor were furnished by the Federal Emergency Administration of Public Works.</p><br>
<p>The estate of E. W. Grove, Jr. paid $10,000 to the Henry County Board of Education in 1940 for the benefit of Grove High School. Of this, $4,000 was used to repair Cavitt Hall after it burned on 27 January 1943 and the remaining funds were used to install lights and hardwood floors in the Grove Tower building.</p><br>
<p>Weston Hall was completed in 1949 after the Tennessee State Board of Education issued an emergency warning that building facilities at Grove High School were inadequate for the enrollment. It was named for A. S. Weston, a teacher who served for 26 years at Grove High School before his death in 1946.</p><br>
<p>At Barton Field, a stadium was built in 1948 and a field house was built in 1954.</p><br>
<p>A new wing on the west side of Weston Hall was built in 1958 to house Grove Junior High School. Grades seven through nine were held there until 1979 when Grove Middle School took on grades seven and eight.</p><br>
<p>In 1969, the last class was graduated at E. W. Grove High School. It was replaced, along with a handful of other rural high schools in Henry County, by Henry County High School. Grove Junior High School remained on the campus.</p><br>
<p>After years of deterioration, Cavitt Hall was demolished in 1985. The Grove Tower building was saved from demolition in 1986 and became the home of the Henry County Board of Education. It had been vacant since 1983.</p><br>
<p>E. W. Grove School became the first stand-alone ninth grade school in the country in 1996.</p><br>
<p>A Centennial celebration was held on 24 June 2006 including a re-enactment of the cornerstone placement, speeches and a wreath-laying ceremony at the grave of E. W. Grove, Sr. In attendance was James Grove, great-grandson of E. W. Grove.</p><br>
<p>Grizzly Peak is a high mountain summit in the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains of North America. Also known as Grizzly Peak D, the 13,433 ft thirteener is located in Arapaho National Forest, 3.4 km southeast by east  of Loveland Pass, Colorado, United States, on the Continental Divide between Clear Creek and Summit counties. Its proximate parent peak is Torreys Peak.</p><br>
<h2>Location and geography</h2><br>
<p>Grizzly Peak sits along the Continental Divide on the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. The summit is located near Interstate 70, east of the Eisenhower-Johnson Memorial Tunnel. It is also in close proximity to Mount Sniktau, which rises to 13,235 ft at its peak. Other nearby points of interest include Loveland Ski Area, Breckenridge Ski Resort, Keystone Ski Resort and the Arapahoe Basin.</p><br>
<h2>Other summits with same name</h2><br>
<p>The state of Colorado actually has four other Grizzly Peaks and one Grizzly Mountain on record. The Grizzly Peak in Chaffee County, which sits in the Sawatch Range, is the tallest of these. The Summit County Grizzly Peak is fourth-tallest of the mountains, and is thus also referred to as "Grizzly Peak D":</p><br>
<h2>Hiking</h2><br>
<p>The trail to Grizzly Peak, which allows hikers to reach the summit of the mountain by foot, is accessible immediately off of a parking lot at Loveland Pass on USA Highway 6. The trailhead begins above the treeline at about 12,000 ft and rises to the peak, but reaching the summit does not necessarily require the use of extra mountain climbing equipment such as ropes. Visitors can also reach Mount Sniktau, a smaller peak, from the same point along Loveland Pass.</p><br>
<p>From the summit, hikers can see Loveland Pass below them, plus views of nearby Chihuahua Lake and the Arapahoe Basin ski trails.</p><br>

<p>Aubrey House is a large 18th-century detached house with two acres of gardens in the Campden Hill area of Holland Park in west London, W8. It is a private residence.</p><br>
<p>Known for a long time as Notting Hill House, by the 1860s it had been named Aubrey House, after Aubrey de Vere who held the manor of Kensington at the time of the Domesday Book. The core of the house is thought to date to 1698; it was remodelled by Sir Edward Lloyd between 1745 and 1754. The house became a centre for radical thought and a haunt for political exiles in the 1860s under Clementia and Peter Alfred Taylor; Giuseppe Garibaldi stayed at the house in 1864 and meetings of the nascent British women&#39;s suffrage campaign were held at Aubrey House. The house served as a hospital during World War I and later became the most expensive property ever sold in London upon its 1997 sale to the publisher and philanthropist Sigrid Rausing.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>Built from brick, the house is three storeys high with five windows in the centre and two storey, three window wings with modern additions to the east. Historic England describes the doorcase as featuring a "dentilled pediment and entablature above Tuscan pilasters" and notes the Tuscan loggia built on the garden front.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first building on the site of Aubrey House was attached to a medicinal spring called Kensington Wells. This was built in 1698 by John Wright, a Doctor in Physick, and by 1705 had become much esteemd and resorted to for its Medicinal Virtues. From 1744 Sir Edward Lloyd owned the lease on the house and purchased the freehold in 1750. Lloyd was largely responsible for transforming the house into its current form. John Rocques map of London indicates that the wings were added to the house between 1745 and 1754, with the north front appearing to date from the same period. By 1767 Aubrey House was occupied by the politician and art collector Richard Grosvenor, 1st Earl Grosvenor.</p><br>
<p>From June 1767 to 1788 the house was occupied by Lady Mary Coke, the daughter of the second Duke of Argyll. Lady Mary made alterations to the interior, with commissions believed to have been undertaken by the carpenter John Phillips and the architect James Wyatt. Little is understood to have survived of these alternations. Following Lady Mary, the house was occupied by a succession of tenants and was used for a time as a school. Aubrey House stood empty from 1819 to 1823, when it was purchased by developer and builder Joshua Flesher Hanson. The house was known as Notting Hill House by this time and was sold in 1827 by Hanson to Thomas Williams, a former coachmaker. Williams did not live there himself but let it as a boarding-school for young ladies from 1830 until 1854. Williams built a house, Wycombe Lodge, on the site of the kitchen-garden.</p><br>
<p>After Williams death the house was sold in 1859 to James Malcolmson, the occupier of Moray Lodge (now demolished), which was to the south of Aubrey House. Malcolmson added part of the garden of Aubrey House to that of Moray Lodge and shortly afterwards let the house, with its now smaller grounds to the Taylors. In 1863, after Malcolmson&#39;s death, Peter Taylor purchased the house from his estate with the garden restored.</p><br>
<h3>Peter and Clementia Taylor</h3><br>
<p>Peter Alfred Taylor, the Liberal Member of Parliament for Leicester, was a champion of radical causes; his wife, Clementia, was also famous as a philanthropist and champion of women&#39;s rights. The Taylors opened the Aubrey Institute in the grounds of Aubrey House; the institute gave young people the chance to improve a poor education they might have had. The lending library and reading room of the institute had over 500 books.</p><br>
<p>In 1863 Clementia was credited with starting the Ladies&#39; London Emancipation Society at Aubrey House after she was refused entry to the existing organisation because she was a woman. The Taylors were closely involved in the movement for Italian unification and Giuseppe Mazzini was a frequent visitor to Aubrey House. Giuseppe Garibaldi stayed at the house for a few days during his celebrated 1864 visit to London. During his stay at Aubrey House he was visited by Mazzini, along with noted radical figures such as feminist Emilie Ashurst Venturi, Aurelio Saffi, Karl Blind, Ferdinand Freiligrath, Alexandre Auguste Ledru-Rollin, and Louis Blanc.</p><br>
<p>In Moncure D. Conways autobiography, he describes the Taylors salon at Aubrey House and Clementias "Pen and Pencil Club" at which the work of young writers and artists was read and exhibited. Conway, an American abolitionist and clergyman, moved to Notting Hill to be near the Taylors at Aubrey House. The Taylors social gatherings were also noted by the American author Louisa May Alcott. Attendees of the "Pen and Pencil Club" included the diarist Arthur Munby and the feminists Barbara Bodichon, Lydia Becker, Elizabeth Blackwell, and Elizabeth Malleson. Clementia Taylor was on the organizing committee of the 1866 petition in favour of womens suffrage that John Stuart Mill presented to the British parliament; the 1499 signatures were collated in Aubrey House. It was in the house that the Committee of the London National Society for Womens Suffrage held its first meeting in July 1867.</p><br>
<p>In 1873 the Taylors sold Aubrey House due to Peter&#39;s ill health and moved to Brighton.</p><br>
<h3>Post Taylors; recent history</h3><br>
<p>The house was bought from the Taylors by William Cleverley Alexander, an art collector and patron of painter James Abbott McNeill Whistler for c.£15,000. Later that year Whistler advised Alexander on the redecorating of the three inter-communicating rooms, the Red Room, the White Room, and the Pink Room (used as a library) along the south front of the house. It is not known if Whistler&#39;s deisgns were still extant after World War I. During the nineteenth century many alterations were made to the house and the interior was considerably remodelled. The adjoining Aubrey Road was rebuilt in 1875.</p><br>
<p>Between 1914 and 1920 Aubrey House was used as a hospital as part of the war effort for World War I. The Garden Room was used as a convalescent ward for 15 Belgian soldiers who had been discharged from the London Hospital. Many of the soldiers returned to active service in July 1915 but three remained for over a year, quartered in the stables. William Cleverly Alexander had died after a fall down the basement stairs of his country residence, Heathfield Park in East Sussex. Following his death, his family offered Aubrey House to the War Office in April 1916 as use as a Hospital for Officers in conjunction with Moray Lodge, which had become an annexe to the Special Hospital for Officers in Palace Green. The house was adapted internally for use as a Voluntary Aid Detachment (VAD) hospital and opened in the autumn of 1916. The Hospital had 20 beds and the nursing staff consisted of a Matron with eight trained nurses and many members of the local VAD. The hospital continued until April 1920, when it was reclaimed by the Alexander sisters, who had inherited the house.</p><br>
<p>In 1986 Prince Andrew&#39;s bachelor party was held at Aubrey House, attended by Prince Charles, Billy Connolly, David Frost and Elton John. Aubrey House was sold by estate agents Knight Frank in November 1997 for £20 million, having been on sale for a year, with its price having been reduced by £5 million. At the time of its sale Aubrey House was the most expensive property ever sold in London. The sale included three terraced houses and two acres of gardens. The purchaser was the publisher and philanthropist Sigrid Rausing, of the Rausing family. It remains a private residence.</p><br>
<p>A London County Council blue plaque was unveiled in 1960 to commemorate the notable residents of Aubrey House. Sir Edward Lloyd, Lady Mary Coke, Peter and Clementia Taylor and William Cleverly Alexander are listed on the plaque.</p><br>
<p>The Palmer House was a historic house in Blackton, Arkansas. The house was built from 1870 to 1873 by lawyer John C. Palmer, one of the most significant lawyers in Arkansas in the 19th century. The home featured arched windows and doors, dormers on all four sides of the roof, and a bracketed cornice; it was considered to be one of the best examples of period architecture. Palmer originally decorated the grounds of the house with a wide variety of flora; his dedication to the house led locals to refer to it as "Palmers Folly". Palmers grandson, also named John C. Palmer, last owned the home. On May 4, 1976, the Palmer House was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>On May 26, 2013, the Palmer House, after standing for over 140 years was destroyed by fire. The house was removed from the National Register on January 22, 2014.</p><br>
<p>Kellys Mountain is a mountain located in Victoria County, Nova Scotia, Canada. The Trans Canada Highway winds its way up the mountain via Route 105. It is known for both its scenic view from the top and its steep slope on both sides of the mountain highway. There is a parking space at the top known as the Bras dOr Look Off that gives a view of Seal Island Bridge, Great Bras dOr channel and Boularderie Island, areas where the highway travels after the driver descends the eastern portion of the Highway. Travelers should be aware of a sharp hairpin turn at the foot of the eastern end of the mountain that switches back greater than 180 degrees after a steep descent.</p><br>
<p>The area around Kellys Mountain is rich in Scottish history. The Gaelic College of Arts and Crafts is located in Saint Anns at the western end where the climb up the mountain begins.</p><br>
<p>Oak Park is an estate in County Carlow, Republic of Ireland, located 3 km north of the town of Carlow. The estate was purchased by Irish MP Henry Bruen in 1775. It remained in the family until 1957, being inhabited by Bruen&#39;s son and grandson, both MPs of the Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The site includes several structures listed on the Irish National Inventory of Architectural Heritage:</p><br>
<p>The Oak Park House (built c. 1740–1780), a five-bay, two-storey Classical-style country house, designed by Richard Morrison and his son William Vitruvius Morrison. The house was renovated in 1832 and again in 1876, and is now used as a school.</p><br>
<p>The Oakpark Graveyard (c. 1700–1750), with remains of a church built c. 1725</p><br>
<p>A two-storey stable complex (built c. 1750–1780), renovated in 1985</p><br>
<p>A Classical triumphal arch (built c. 1830–1840), designed by the Morrisons</p><br>
<p>A single-arch cast-iron bridge (built c. 1830–1840), designed by George Papworth</p><br>
<p>A mausoleum (built c. 1840–1845; now ruined), designed by John B. Keane in the Greek Revival temple style</p><br>
<p>A dairy house (built c. 1840–1860)</p><br>
<p>120 acre of the site are now operated by the Carlow Tourist Office as Oak Park Forest Park. The admission-free park, which features 4 km of nature trails, won a Royal Dublin Society Irish Forestry Award in 2013.</p><br>
<p>Oak Park also hosts a 239 hectare "national centre for tillage and bio-energy crops research", operated by Teagasc.</p><br>
