<p>St. Charles Seminary is a former American Catholic seminary, founded by the Missionaries of the Precious Blood in 1861 in Carthagena, Ohio. The seminary closed in 1969 and is now a retirement center for clergy and lay people. The seminary, chapel, and five other buildings were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first buildings on the site of Saint Charles Seminary were the former buildings of the Emlen Institute. The institute was a boarding school for African-American youth, begun with a bequest from Samuel Emline, Jr., a Quaker. The institute sold its Ohio property and moved to Pennsylvania in 1857.</p><br>
<p>The Missionaries of the Precious Blood had arrived in Ohio in 1844 to begin serving German-speaking settlers living there. In 1861 they purchased 200 acres of land and the former Emlen Institute to serve as a seminary for the candidates to their religious congregation, which they then placed under the patronage of St. Charles Borromeo.</p><br>
<p>The current seminary building was constructed over a six-year period in the 1920s. It is a three-story building with a 371-foot frontage, flanked by two 140-foot wings. The chapel was built by the sons of Ohio steepled-church designer Anton De Curtins.</p><br>
<p>The seminary closed in 1969 as a consequence of declining enrollment. Theology students for the congregation now study at Catholic Theological Union in Chicago.</p><br>
<h2>Present day</h2><br>
<p>In order to accommodate the retiring priests and Religious Brothers of the congregation, the former seminary was converted into the St. Charles Center, a retirement home for them. As this need peaked in 1980s and 1990s, the center became converted into a senior living center for lay people as well.</p><br>
<p>Christ Episcopal Church is an Episcopal church located at 611 E. Jackson St. in Springfield, Illinois. The Richardsonian Romanesque church is built in rusticated stone and features stained glass windows and a rounded chancel; the Illinois State Register described it as "one of the most beautiful churches ever built in Springfield". The church was built in 1888 and partly sponsored by businessmen George H. Webster and Charles Ridgely, who stipulated in their donation that the church must always conduct a low church service; the church is now the only low church in the Episcopal Diocese of Springfield. A parish house was added to the church in 1914, and a Sunday school building was added in 1950.</p><br>
<p>The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 12, 1980.</p><br>
<p>St. James Episcopal Church is an Episcopal church located at the northeast corner of MacArthur and Broadway in Lewistown, Illinois. The church serves the Lewistown Episcopal parish, which formed in 1860, six years after Episcopal services began in the city. S. Corning Judd, the senior warden of the parish, obtained plans for the church building from architect Edward Tuckerman Potter in 1862, and construction began on the church in 1863. Work on the church was finished in 1865, and church services began in the same year. The church took its name from St. James Cathedral in Chicago, since the bishop of that church granted Lewistown its parish. The red brick churchs Gothic design features diagonal buttresses, arched windows and an arched door, decorative brickwork forming a pattern of Xs on the west side, and a small bell tower.</p><br>
<p>The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 31, 1974.</p><br>
<p>Ruin Island is a small island off the coast of the Inglefield Land region of northwest Greenland. In the 1930s, Danish archaeologist Erik Holtved discovered the remains of human habitation on the island. The culture associated with this archaeological site became known as the Ruin Island phase of Thule Culture.</p><br>
<p>Vikings travelled to Ruin Island while hunting and trading with Inuit groups.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The earliest known inhabitants of Ruin Island are ancestors of the Inuit known as Thule culture, named after the nearby archeologic site of Thule. These Thule culture inhabitants have been estimated to arrive at Ruin Island between 1280 and 1330.The Northern World: AD 900–1400.</p><br>

<p>Table Grove Community Church is a historic church located at the intersection of N. Broadway and W. Liberty Streets in Table Grove, Illinois. The clapboard church features a bell tower with pinnacles on its corners and a spire at its center. The building incorporates elements of multiple architectural styles. The broken pediments at either end of the church, the pilasters at the corners of the building, and the entablatures on the sides come from the Greek Revival style, while the arched windows and cornices and the louvered windows on the bell tower suggest the Italianate style.</p><br>
<p>The church was built in 1869; its architect is unknown, but its style resembles that used in a farm built by Thomas Berry, a member of its congregation. Originally a Universalist church, the church was led by John Hughes for its first eighteen years. In 1931, the Universalist congregation in Table Grove merged with the congregations of the Disciples of Christ and the Presbyterians to form a single Protestant church; the Illinois Universalist Congregation gave the new church the Universalists&#39; building.</p><br>
<p>The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 9, 1979.</p><br>
<p>The Potosí mountain range in Bolivia is situated east and southeast of the city of Potosí. It is at least 25 km long stretching from north to south. Its highest mountain is Khunurana  rising up to 5,071 m . The features of the range are considered the product of volcanic activity known as the Khari Khari caldera . The caldera is about 40 km long and 25 km at its widest point.</p><br>
<p>The range was named Cordillera de Potosí by the German alpinist Henry Hoek in 1903. He collected information about the range like the local names and published several papers about it. The inhabitants of the area, however, use the names Khari Khari for the northern part and Anta Qawa for the southern one. The two sections are separated by a depression, the Jacha Molino Pampa.</p><br>
<h2>Mountains</h2><br>
<h3>Khari Khari range</h3><br>
<p>The Khari Khari range contains a number of mountains which are more than 4,900 m high, the highest elevation being Khari Khari (5,040 m). Other mountains are listed below:</p><br>
<p>Cerro Rico (4,824 m) lies west of the main range.</p><br>
<h3>Anta Q'awa range</h3><br>
<p>South of Jacha Molino Pampa, in the Anta Qawa range, there are:</p><br>
<h2>Lakes</h2><br>
<p>During the colonial epoch artificial lakes were built in the Khari Khari range, finally up to 32 lakes. The main purpose was to produce hydroelectric power to run the smelters of the mines. Some of these lakes are still used today for the water supply of the city. Today there are 22 lakes of the Khari Khari range belonging to six systems:</p><br>
<p>the Pati Pati system with 3 lakes: Atucha, Santa Lucía, Candelaria</p><br>
<p>the San José system with 7 lakes: Llama Mikhu, San José I, San José II, Buena Ventura, Llama Kunka, Wak&#39;ani, Providencia</p><br>
<p>the Suras or Calderón system with 1 lake: Calderón</p><br>
<p>the San Ildefonso system with 3 lakes: Khari Khari Lakes (San Ildefonso, San Pablo, now integrated into San Ildefonso), San Fernando</p><br>
<p>the San Sebastián system with 6 lakes: Muñisa, Masuni, Criciza, San Lázaro, San Sebastián, Planilla (now integrated into San Sebastián)</p><br>
<p>the Challwiri system with 2 lakes: Illimani, Tawaqu Ñuñu or Challwiri.</p><br>
<p>South of Jach&#39;a Molino Pampa there are two more systems:</p><br>
<p>the Lakha Chakha system with one lake: Lakha Chakha</p><br>
<p>the Challuma system with Challuma (I and II) and Turina.</p><br>
<p>Other notable lakes are Tala Qucha and Qumir Qucha.</p><br>
<p>Barratt Hall, also known as the Philip Barratt House, is a historic home located near Frederica, Kent County, Delaware. It dates to the mid-18th century, and is a two-story, three bay, center-hall plan brick dwelling in the Georgian-style. In 1784, Bishops Thomas Coke and Francis Asbury met in the house with Mrs. Miriam Barratt and eleven preachers. They held council here which ended in sending Freeborn Garrettson to summon preachers to the Christmas Conference in Baltimore, Maryland, at which the Methodist Church in America was organized. It was the home of Philip Barratt, who donated land and, together with Waitman Sipple, erected Barratt&#39;s Chapel in 1780.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<p>Mackay Reservoir is a reservoir on the Big Lost River in Custer County, Idaho. The reservoir is located in the Lost River Valley below the Lost River Range about 4 mi northwest of Mackay. The land surrounding the reservoir offers opportunities for boating, fishing, camping, and hunting, among other activities. The reservoir is impounded by Mackay Dam, which was built in 1918 by the Big Lost River Irrigation District. USA Route 93 travel along the eastern side of the reservoir. The towns of Mackay and Arco put on a Fourth of July fireworks show at the reservoir every year.</p><br>
<h2>Details</h2><br>
<p>The dam face is 67 feet high. The reservoir covers 1,392 acres and has a storage capacity of 45,050 acre feet or 14.6 billion gallons of water. It is stocked annually with fish by the Bureau of Land Management. The reservoir sits between the Pioneer Mountains and the Lost River Range at the base of Mt. McCaleb.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The dam was completed in 1918 by the Utah Construction Company. It served irrigation canals in the Lost River Valley. In June 1933, the control tower and diversions were attacked by "unknown persons" using dynamite. At the time, it was suspected that these residents and farmers were desperate for more water during the drought and thought the dam was to blame. The primary dam structure was undamaged. This prompted the owners, the Utah Construction Company, to drop its selling price on the dam, and in 1936, the town of Mackay purchased it under the Lost River Irrigation District. Since that time, Mackay has hosted an annual barbecue in the fall to celebrate the purchase of the reservoir, which residents fondly call "The Res". Mackay Reservoir survived the 1983 Borah Peak earthquake, despite extensive damage to the nearby towns of Mackay and Challis.</p><br>
<h2>Safety</h2><br>
<p>In 2011 several environmentalist groups submitted a request for preventative action to Idaho Gov. Butch Otter regarding the Mackay Reservoir. In their letter, they cite reasons for possible dam failure, including the age of the dam, proximity to a fault, inadequate monitoring of dam conditions, lack of warning system for residents, and failure to follow inspector recommendations. This was following a 2009 inspection report which stated, “Much about this dam is not known due to poor documentation during initial construction and subsequent modifications. The amount of leakage observed at the right-center toe of the dam is cause for concern despite claims by the owner that ‘it has always leaked like that’”.</p><br>
<p>Peristasi  is a village and a community of the Katerini municipality, Pieria, Central Macedonia, Greece. Before the 2011 local government reform, it was part of the municipality of Paralia, of which it was a municipal district. The 2011 census recorded 2,545 inhabitants in the village.</p><br>
<h2>Historical data</h2><br>
<p>The village was founded under the name of New Peristasis after 1922, by refugees from Peristasi (present-day Şarköy of Eastern Thrace). Apart from the Thracians, in the last few years, Pontians and Vlachs have settled down. At the time of the axis occupation, 14 villagers were executed by the Nazis. Inside Peristasi there was the seat of the New Zealand Allies camp, which was hosted by residents of the nearby village, Kallithea. From 1947 until 1950, residents of Skoteina, who were struck by the rebels, settled in the village during the Civil War.</p><br>
<p>La Mira is a peak of the Sierra de Gredos range in central Spain. It is located in the central part of the Sierra de Gredos range, a subrange of the larger Sistema Central, in the autonomous community of Castile and León. Listed at 2,343 m, it marks the common boundary of Arenas de San Pedro, Guisando, El Hornillo and Hoyos del Espino municipalities.</p><br>
<p>Like many of the highest mountains in the range La Mira is notable for its quite important local relief relative to the south side, where the Tiétar Valley is located at 400 m. The relative prominence, 348 m, is not that great, as it is connected to Pico Almanzor (2,591 m), the highest mountain of Sistema Central.</p><br>
<p>The climbing is quite easy: the top can be reached both through the north and the south side. The northern access starts at Plataforma de Gredos (1,800 m), while the southern access starts at Nogal del Barranco (1,159 m).</p><br>
<p>Nearby the mountain, separated by a deep gorge called Garganta de los Galayos, Los Galayos formation, a chain of narrow peaks or columns which rises to 2,200 m, is located.</p><br>
<p>Cerro Duida, also known as Cerro Yennamadi, is a very large tepui in Amazonas state, Venezuela. It has a summit area of 1,089 km&sup2; and an estimated slope area of 715 km&sup2;.</p><br>
<p>Cerro Duida shares a common base with the much smaller (but taller) Cerro Marahuaca, located off its northeastern flank, and together they form the Duida–Marahuaca Massif. Both tepuis are entirely within the bounds of Duida-Marahuaca National Park. Sandwiched between them, a massive ridge known as Cerro Petaca rises to at least 2,700 m. The much lower Cerro Huachamacari, derived from a separate base, lies to the northwest of this complex.</p><br>
<h2>Tyler-Duida expedition</h2><br>
<p>George Henry Hamilton Tate led a major expedition of the American Museum of Natural History to Cerro Duida in 1928–1929. These herbarium collections were studied extensively by Henry Gleason, who formally described many of the mountain&#39;s plant species in a series of papers published in 1931. This was followed by a number of important botanical explorations of Cerro Duida, first by Julian A. Steyermark in 1944 and later by Bassett Maguire in 1949 and 1950.</p><br>
<p>The Chimantá Massif is a highly fragmented complex of tepuis in Bolívar state, Venezuela. The massif comprises around 11 tepuis and has a total summit area of 615 km&sup2; and an estimated slope area of 915 km&sup2;. It is divided in two by the Río Tírica, with the northern section being both larger and higher. The massif is notable for its high species richness and for its varied habitat types. on its highest peak, Murey-tepui . It hosts extensive cave systems, including the world&#39;s largest known quartzite cave, Cueva Charles Brewer, named after discoverer Charles Brewer-Carías. The processes behind their speleogenesis are the subject of some debate.</p><br>
<p>The isolated southern peaks of Angasima-tepui and Upuigma-tepui are sometimes considered part of the Chimantá Massif.</p><br>
<h2>Tepuis</h2><br>
<p>The major tepuis of the northern and southern parts of the Chimantá Massif are listed below. Coordinates given correspond to the approximate centre points of the tepui summit plateaus.

<p>Debenham House  at 8 Addison Road is a large detached house in the Holland Park district of Kensington and Chelsea, W14. Built in the Arts and Crafts style by the architect Halsey Ricardo, it is a Grade I listed building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was designed in 1905 for department store owner Ernest Ridley Debenham. Debenham had previously lived in another house designed by Ricardo, at 57 Melbury Road in Holland Park. The house only became known as Debenham House after it was sold on Sir Ernest&#39;s death.</p><br>
<p>The building is currently owned by Ford Motor Company through Blue Oval Holdings Limited.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The exterior of Debenham House is Italianate, while the interior style is Arts and Crafts. It is richly coloured everywhere. The main parts of exterior are clad in variegated Royal Doulton Carrara ware with inset panels faced with green and blue Burmantofts bricks. Ricardo was an advocate of ‘structural polychromy’. The glazed materials were also intended to resist the aging effects of the polluted London air. Critic Jonathan Meades has described the house as "structurally stodgy – an alderman dressed as a hippy."</p><br>
<p>The interior contains tiles designed by William De Morgan, a mosaic dome painted by Gaetano Meo and ceilings painted by Ernest Gimson.</p><br>
<p>The domed hall, the central interior feature, has a first-floor gallery connecting the upstairs rooms. Decoration throughout the house is extraordinarily lavish. Mosaics depict members of the Debenham family as well as subjects from classical mythology. There are marble and tile fireplaces, stained glass designed by E. S. Prior and mahogany bookcases with Art Nouveau inlays in wood and mother of pearl. The light switches were specially designed and made by the Birmingham Guild of Handicraft.</p><br>
<h2>Filming location</h2><br>
<p>The interior were featured prominently in Iain Softley&#39;s The Wings of the Dove (1997 film).</p><br>
<p>The exterior of the house was used in the film Secret Ceremony, directed by Joseph Losey. Elizabeth Taylor&#39;s character Leonora resided at the house in the film. Debenham House has also featured in the television series What the Butler Saw and Spooks.</p><br>
<p>The house was also used as the filming location of Agatha Christie&#39;s Poirot Lord Edgeware Dies and Cards on the Table.</p><br>
<p>The Phuket Range  is a subrange of the Tenasserim Hills in the Kra Isthmus, Thailand.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The Phuket chain is a continuation of the greater Tenasserim range, forming one of the southern sections of the central Indo-Malay cordillera, the mountain chain which runs from Tibet through all of the Malay peninsula extending southwards for over 200 km. The Nakhon Si Thammarat Range begins 60 km to the east of the southern part of the Phuket Range. Between the ranges there are isolated peaks rising from the lowlands, the highest of which is 1,350 m high Khao Phanom Bencha near Krabi.</p><br>
<p>The highest elevation is Khao Langkha Tuek with an elevation of 1395 m. As the hills raise directly from the western coast there are no notable rivers west of the ridge. To the east the largest rivers are the Phum Duang River and the Lang Suan River.</p><br>
<p>The largest lake within the mountains is the Chiao Lan (Ratchaprapha dam) at 165 km², an artificial lake within the Khao Sok National Park. The mountains mostly consist of limestone, which leads to the karst geography of steep hills. The hills west of the ridge contain several tin mines, mostly exhausted.</p><br>
<h2>Protection</h2><br>
<p>Most of the mountains are protected in various national parks and other protected areas. These are (from the south) Si Phang-nga NP, Ton Pariwat Wildlife Sanctuary, Khlong Phanom NP, Khao Sok NP, Khlong Yan Wildlife Sanctuary, Kaeng Krung NP, Khlong Nakha Wildlife Sanctuary and Namtok Ngao NP (formerly named Khlong Phrao NP).</p><br>
<p>Round Lake is a natural freshwater lake on the south side of Winter Haven, Florida. It is almost round in shape and has a surface area of 26.74 acre. It is bordered on the north, east and southeast by houses in a gated community. On the south is a grass field, beyond which is Eloise Loop Road, and on the west and southwest is a citrus grove. Round Lake is about 660 ft east of the south cove of Lake Winterset. This lake is swampy on much of its shore and there are ten or so minuscule islets along the shore.</p><br>
<p>Round Lake is completely surrounded by private property, which means the public needs to obtain permission to access the lake for fishing. There are no swimming beaches on the lake and only private boat and fishing docks. The Hook and Bullet website always lists the types of fish in lakes whether or not there is free public access to them. The website says this lake contains a large variety of fish. This website lists pumpkinseed, bluegill, yellow perch, bowfin, warmouth, gar, catfish (bullhead), green sunfish, carp, largemouth bass, crappie and rock bass.</p><br>
<p>http://www.fcucc.org First Congregational Church is a historic church at 20 East Saint Vrain Street in Colorado Springs, Colorado. It was organized and founded in 1874 in conjunction with the founding of Colorado College. The first two ministers of the church, Rev. Jonathan Edwards and Rev. James Dougherty, also held positions with the college. The present building was completed in 1889 at an estimated cost of $40,000. Its design is in the Richardsonian Romanesque style and is constructed of Colorado Wall Mountain Tuft  quarried near Castle Rock, Colorado. The architect was Henry Rutgers Marshall of New York, acclaimed student of Henry Hobson Richardson, and there is only one other church known to have been designed by him: Arlington Avenue Presbyterian Church in Brooklyn, NY . The first service in the current building was James Greggheld on 21 July 1889 and the new building soon became a landmark in Colorado Springs. An early article in the then Weekly Gazette newspaper commented that “the design of the building is unique and has attracted much attention and admiration.”</p><br>
<p>“Surely few churches there are with so many pillars. The many pillars in our portico seem suggestive of the spiritual life of the church within, its strength, its dignity, its peace.” – Dr. James Gregg, October 1914</p><br>
<p>The cornerstone of the present church was laid on September 8, 1888, and the first services were held in the new building on July 21, 1889. Dedication was delayed until October, however, when the pipe organ crafted by Hook and Hastings of Boston was installed. Our faith community has been housed in this structure ever since, making our facility the oldest church building in Colorado Springs continuously used by the same congregation.</p><br>
<p>First Congregational Church was placed on the National Register on October 31, 2002. In partnership with the Colorado Historical Society’s State Historical Fund, the church and Founders’ Room addition (1903) have undergone restoration to their 1910 appearance.</p><br>
<p>Additions to the present building include the Founders Room in 1903, the Christian Education Building in 1959 and the Atrium in 1996. Alterations and improvement were made to the main building in 1910 and extensive restoration work to the interior of the building was completed in 2011.</p><br>
<p>The Gregg Library: The importance of books and a library has always been a significant part of First Congregational Church’s history. When the present sanctuary was built in 1888-89, a library was included, shelved on one wall of the Sacristy. The library found a new home 46 years later in a small frame house sitting on the church’s west side. That house was bought and donated to the church in memory of Rev. James B. Gregg, who served as pastor for 27 years. It was named the Gregg Memorial Library Building. The building housed a study and classrooms. In addition, Dr. Gregg’s children gave a $10,000 bequest dedicated to the library. That bequest still funds the library’s budget today. The Gregg Library is located in the West Building attached to the church.</p><br>
<p>The Steenenhoek Canal  is a Dutch canal in southeastern Netherlands.</p><br>
<p>The canal runs from the northern part of Gorinchem where it connects to Linge. The canal goes west along the railway and A15 (Rotterdam-Nijmegen) motorway. Then it flows to the North of Boven-Hardinxveld to connect with Beneden Merwede (Lower Merwede) at Neder-Hardinxveld in the municipality of Hardinxveld-Giessendam where a pumping station is used to maintain the water level.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Steenenhoek Canal was built in the beginning of 19th century to reduce the risk of flooding by diverting the water away from the Linge.</p><br>
<p>Before Steenenhoek Canal construction, the River Linge flowed towards Beneden Merwede through canals of the neighbourhood and town centre of Gorinchem with frequent floods.</p><br>
<p>The J.W. Randolph School was constructed in 1928 as a public school for African-American students in Pass Christian, Mississippi. The building was vacated as a school in 2000. In 2006, the structure was designated a Mississippi Landmark.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Around 1920, a Black civic organization petitioned for a new school to be built for African-American students in Pass Christian. In 1927-28, the school was constructed at a cost of $24,000. Construction financing was provided through public funding and private donations, including the Rosenwald Fund. Originally designated as the Harrison County Training School, the name was changed in 1939 to honor a former school principal, J.W. Randolph. When school segregation came to an end in 1969, the building was rededicated as the Pass Christian Middle School. After 2000, the building no longer served as a public school.</p><br>
<p>Between 2000 and 2005, the building complex was used as a Senior Citizen Center, Boys and Girls Club, and a branch office for Harrison County Human Services.</p><br>
<p>In August 2005, the structure was severely damaged by winds and storm surge from Hurricane Katrina. Although considered for demolition after the storm, the school was saved by a coalition of former students, community activists, and preservationists. Restoration efforts began in 2009 with funding from public and private grants. The renovated school was dedicated on January 22, 2013, to be used as a senior citizen center and for social events.</p><br>
<p>Peabody High School is a public high school in Trenton, Tennessee, operated by the Trenton Special School District for grades 9-12. The school mascot is The Golden Tide and school colors are black and gold. The Trenton campus of Dyersburg State Community College is adjacent to the Peabody campus. This allows Peabody students an opportunity to obtain college credit by taking courses at Dyersburg State while attending high school.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Peabody High School was established in 1877 with funds provided by philanthropist George Peabody. The first school building was constructed on the former site of Andrew College, which had been purchased by the school directors two years earlier.</p><br>
<p>A new school building was built in 1917 and remained in use until 1980, when it was replaced by a modern building on a new site. The old Peabody High School building on South College Street was converted for residential use. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>The Bowman House is a historic house located at 714 Broadway Street in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin. The Prairie School house was built in 1904 for Abram and Alberta Bowman. The house has a Prairie School design, popular at the time due to Frank Lloyd Wright&#39;s influence; its distinctive Prairie School elements include a horizontal emphasis and a low roof with wide eaves. Abram Bowman died in 1907, and his daughters Emma and Jennie Bowman inherited the house. Jennie Bowman had the house converted to a vacation home for working women upon her death in 1934. The house remained a vacation home until 1977, when the Dells Country Historical Society converted it to a historic house museum.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 3, 1986.</p><br>
<p>The Simeon P. Smith House is a historic house at 154 High Street in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Built in 1810-11, it is a fine example of a Federal-style duplex, built for a local craftsman, and one of a modest number of such houses to survive a devastating fire in 1813. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 14, 1972.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Simeon P. Smith House is located on The Hill, a cluster of historic properties south of Deer and High streets which was created as part of a road widening project. It is located facing High Street on the cluster&#39;s northeastern edge. It is a 2-1/2 story wood-frame building, with a gabled roof and interior chimneys. Its central doorway is framed by pilasters and has a triangular pediment above a four-light transom window. Windows are framed by delicate Federal period moulding. Brick chimneys are set on either side of the roof. The interior includes Federal-style cornices, and a fine carved arch in the central hall. Although many rooms retain original Federal period styling, some were altered by subsequent owners to have simpler Greek Revival elements. A secondary entrance has also been added to one of the sides.</p><br>
<p>The Federal-style house was built between 1810 and 1811 for Simeon P. Smith, a Portsmouth cooper. As one of the few middle-class dwellings to survive the Portsmouth fire of 1813, the house serves as an example of a tradesman&#39;s home in Portsmouth in the early 1800s. The house originally stood on the north side of Deer Street, facing south.</p><br>

<p>Bath VA Medical Center is a USA Veterans Administration hospital located in Bath, Steuben County, New York. Affiliated with the University of Rochester School of Medicine, it provides secondary care and operates clinics in Elmira and Wellsville, New York; and Coudersport and Mansfield, Pennsylvania. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2013, and designated a national historic district.</p><br>
<h2>Soldiers and Sailors Home</h2><br>
<p>The original hospital was established in 1877 by the Grand Army of the Republic. The property was transferred to the State in 1878, greatly expanded, and rededicated in 1879 as the New York State Soldiers and Sailors Home, Bath. It initially housed disabled New York veterans of the American Civil War, but, as the men aged, it became largely a geriatric facility. The number of residents peaked at 2,143 in 1907. By 1928, the number of residents had fallen to 192.</p><br>
<p>Veterans of the Spanish–American War and World War I also were treated at the facility. More than 32,000 veterans received treatment between 1879 and 1932.</p><br>
<p>Adjacent to the home is Bath National Cemetery, where many of its residents are buried.</p><br>
<h2>Veterans Administration</h2><br>
<p>The federal government took over operations in 1929, and renamed it the Bath Branch of the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers. The USA Veterans Administration was created in 1930, and the hospital and its grounds were deeded over to it in 1932.</p><br>
<p>The modern medical center is mostly an outpatient facility. It has a capacity of 440 beds, and provides services to more than 12,000 veterans.</p><br>
<p>Bank House is a historic home located at Milford, Kent County, Delaware, United States. It was built between 1854 and 1857, and is a three-story, five-bay, brick Greek Revival-style dwelling. It measures 42 feet by 34 feet and has a two-story, "L"-shaped wing measuring 40 feet by 18 feet. It has a flat roof and features an entrance portico supported by classic Corinthian order fluted columns. It was designed to be the banking house for the Bank of Milford, and included bank operations and housing for the cashier of the bank and his family. The bank failed before the building was complete, then completed by a physician who completed it as his residence and medical office.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>J. H. Wilkerson & Son Brickworks is a historic abandoned brickworks and national historic district located at Milford, Kent County, Delaware. The district includes three contributing buildings and one contributing site at the brickworks that operated from 1912 to 1957. Some of the sheds, machinery, kiln, and other structures which housed the machinery remain standing, others have deteriorated or collapsed. Still standing are the storage shed, the shed over the brick-making machine, and one of the drying sheds. All of the machinery is in place as are other pieces of equipment used in the brick-making process. The walls of the kiln remain standing, just as they would have been left after the fired bricks are removed.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>The Las Guijas Mountains are a small northwest - southeast trending mountain range in southern Pima County, Arizona. The range is approximately 12 km long by 4 km. Surrounding ranges includes the Cerro Colorado Mountains to the northeast, the Tumacacori Mountains of Santa Cruz County to the east, the San Luis Mountains to the south and the Baboquivari Mountains across the Altar Valley to the west. Arivaca is immediately to the southeast and the old mining townsite of Las Guijas is in the wash just north of the range.</p><br>
<p>The highest peak of the range with elevation of 4,665 ft lies 8 km northwest of Arivaca which is at 3,643 ft. Las Guijas Peak at 4,650. ft lies just 4500 feet south of the highest.</p><br>
<h2>Name</h2><br>
<p>The name of the range came from 19th century Spanish miners referring to las guijas for the rubble as the placer gold they were working occurred in the gravels or conglomerates along the stream valleys and gulches draining the range.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>The southwestern flank of the range in underlain by up to 980 ft of Jurassic age ash fall tuff of rhyodacite composition known as the tuff of Pajarito named for the Pajarito Mountains of Santa Cruz County to the southeast,</p><br>
<p>The northeastern flank of the range is underlain by an intrusive granite also of Jurassic age.</p><br>
<p>Karjiang is a mountain in Tibet, located near the Bhutan–China border. The highest peak of the Karjiang group is Karjiang I or Karjiang South, with an elevation of 7,221 m; it remains unclimbed. Other peaks include Karjiang North , Karjiang II/Central , Karjiang III or Taptol Kangri  and the top of the north-eastern shoulder .</p><br>
<h2>Attempts</h2><br>
<p>In 1986, a Japanese expedition led by N. Shigo climbed Karjiang II (Central).</p><br>
<p>Karjiang I remains unclimbed. A Dutch expedition attempted to climb Karjiang during September–October 2001 without success. The group consisted of Haroen Schijf, Rudolf van Aken, Pepijn Bink, Court Haegens, Willem Horstmann and Rein-Jan Koolwijk. The group climbed Karjiang III. According to Schijf, Karjiang I looked very steep and difficult to climb, and the bad weather made an attempt too dangerous.</p><br>
<p>In 2010, Joe Puryear and David Gottlieb gained the Shipton-Tilman Award to attempt climbing Karjiang. However, they did not receive the necessary permit, and made an attempt to climb Labuche Kang 420 km to the west, during which Puryear died.</p><br>
<p>The Gate School is the historic former school in Gate, Oklahoma. The yellow brick building was constructed by the Works Progress Administration from 1937 to 1938. The new school building replaced an existing school; due to budgetary constraints, the WPA reused materials from the previous school in the new building. The WPA worked extensively in Beaver County, which includes Gate, due to the Dust Bowl&#39;s impact on the local economy, and the new Gate School was one of several WPA-built school buildings in the county. The school served as the local elementary and high school until the high school consolidated with the Laverne school district in 1972; the elementary school followed suit in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The Gate School was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 10, 1999.</p><br>
<p>Chacraraju or Chakraraju  is a mountain in the Cordillera Blanca in the Andes range of Peru. The mountain has two distinctive peaks Chacraraju Oeste  and Chacraraju Este . Chacraraju is located in the Ancash Region, Huaylas Province, Caraz District, and in the Yungay Province, Yungay District. It lies south and southeast of Pirámide. Lake Parón and the little Lake Chacra lie northwest of the mountain. The peak is accessible from the Pisco base camp at Cebollapampa.</p><br>
<h2>Climbing</h2><br>
<p>Chakrarahu is considered the steepest and the most difficult-to-climb six-thousander in the Andes. Although by no means worked out, the south face of the mountain has a quite staggering number of steep and difficult lines, enough to bear comparison with areas such as the south face of Mont Blanc du Tacul for maturity. The north side bore the brunt maturity of early development but still retains the greatest potential.</p><br>
<p>A French expedition led by Lionel Terray first climbed the mountain on 31 July 1956 (Chakrarahu Oeste) and on 5 August 1962 (Chakrarahu Este) on what after have become the normal routes (northeast face and northeast ridge). Greg Mortimer was badly injured during a later attempt to climb the mountain.</p><br>
<p>Some of the routes are amongst the most desperate of the Cordillera Blanca and probably of the entire Andes. All the routes take several days and involve hanging bivouacs. First ascents to the ridge linking the east and west summits are recorded. Not all the parties are able to reach the true summits of Chakrarahu Este and Oeste, because this requires traversing below the cornices and obviously increases the seriousness of the climbs.</p><br>
<p>The Flambeau Mission Church  is a historic church south of Ladysmith, Wisconsin, United States. The church was the first church in Rusk County, built just below the junction of the Chippewa and Flambeau Rivers in 1882 to serve the French and Indian community called Flambeau Farms. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>In the later 1800s, logging and log-driving made the Flambeau and Chippewa rivers a busy place. White settlement began around 1847 and by 1864 the Daniel Shaw Lumber Company had established a farm near the junction of the rivers to supply its logging operations. In addition to river traffic, the stagecoach line from Chippewa Falls into the logging frontier also stopped at Shaw&#39;s farm.</p><br>
<p>A mile and a half to the east, a village of Chippewa Indians had taken root on the south bank of the river. Franciscan missionaries visited the village and around 1881 they built a simple mission church facing the river, with local carpenter Thomas Orthman and other residents working under the direction of Father Chrysostom Verwyst and Father Casimir. In back was a one-story priest&#39;s quarters. In 1884 a 2-story annex was added, intended as a monastery but never used for that purpose. The bell tower was added in 1903.</p><br>
<p>The Chippewa community had about 70 confirmed members at the 1881 dedication of the church. This was around the peak of pine logging, and the Flambeau settlement had about 11 saloons. With the passing of logging, all of this has faded. The church is the only building surviving from the little logging community.</p><br>
<p>Saint Ann&#39;s Catholic Church and Cemetery is a historic rural church in the town of Greenwood, Taylor County, Wisconsin, United States. It is located at W3963 Brehm Avenue, south of Rib Lake and north of Medford. The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>St. Ann's Catholic Church and Cemetery</h3><br>
<p>The community that built St. Annes was chiefly German and German-Bohemian, mainly people who immigrated from around the border between Bohemia and Bavaria from 1881 to 1883. Clergy first came to St. Annes community by horseback or rail for services in homes. In 1884 the Wisconsin Central Railroad donated a one-acre site for the church. In 1888, following approval of Bishop Kilian Caspar Flasch of the Diocese of La Crosse, construction of the church and adjacent cemetery began. Next to the church to the west was the Highland School, and in 1892 the Thums General Store and Post Office was built across the road. With that, this rural crossroads formed the center of a fairly self-contained community.</p><br>
<p>The first Mass was offered at St. Annes on September 25, 1888 by Rev. J. W. Ritz. When a rectory was built in 1902 at Rib Lake for St. John the Baptist Church, Rev. Joseph Heeger, that churchs first resident pastor also served St. Ann&#39;s congregation. Services were conducted in German from the start until 1915.</p><br>
<p>In 1905 administration of St. Annes was transferred to the new Diocese of Superior. In 1908, a statue of Mary was donated by St. Anns Altar Society.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery immediately behind the church contains graves dating to 1887, including founders of the church. Two of the graves are marked by ornate iron crosses in a style which the old-timers knew from their home in "old country."</p><br>
<p>The church was wired for electricity in 1933, using light fixtures that had come from Medford State Bank, but electric power didn&#39;t become available until 1946. During the 1940s a new oil burning furnace was installed.</p><br>
<p>In 1963, the diocese closed St. Ann&#39;s Church because of a shortage of clergy. After closing, the diocese maintained insurance coverage, but routine maintenance and upkeep declined. In 1983, parishioners were presented with several options, two of which involved demolition. They chose to form a non-profit organization responsible for care and maintenance of the building and grounds.</p><br>
<h3>Historic St. Ann's</h3><br>
<p>Local preservationists and former parish members purchased the church and cemetery from the Diocese of Superior and formed Historic St. Anns Inc. Articles of incorporation were filed on August 12, 1988. Over the years, through annual work bees, members have enhanced the building, grounds and cemetery property. The 2013 annual St. Annes newsletter describes the many projects completed in the past 25 years.</p><br>
<p>Woodlawn, also known as the Thomas England House, was an historic home located near Smyrna, Kent County, Delaware. It was first known as Morris Rambles when built in 1741 by James Morris of Philadelphia Pennsylvania. In 1853, it was sold by Elizabeth Berry Morris  to cousin George Wilson Cummins. After extensive renovations, the mansion was renamed Woodlawn. It is a two-story, five-bay temple-fronted frame dwelling in the Greek Revival-style. It has a gable roof and features a monumental pedimented portico supported by six Doric order columns. It has a one-story kitchen wing with a low hipped roof.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>It is currently being demolished despite efforts by the community to save it from the wrecking ball.</p><br>
<p>St. Joseph&#39;s Roman Catholic Church is a historic church at County Highway Q and Rich Road in Shields, Wisconsin.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The church was designed by James Clancy of Hubbleton in the Carpenter Gothic style, and constructed by local craftsmen and parishioners of cream brick and wood. The belfry is louvred with a shingled spire, resting on the gabled roof over the main entrance. A key feature of the nave are ten pointed-arch stained glass windows, added at some time after 1895, each set with a different Christian symbol in the arch and dedicated to a different individual or family. The altar was donated in 1899 and features a triptych back.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The village of Richwood and its surrounding area was settled by Irish and German Catholics in the mid-19th century, but the only church serving the community was St. Bernard&#39;s in Watertown, almost ten miles away. A Patrick Norton donated an acre of land for the construction of a church, and the cornerstone was laid on July 3, 1864.</p><br>
<p>In 1952, the Holy Cross Fathers who had been administering the parish were removed, and the parish became a mission of St. Henrys in Watertown, then of St. Johns in Clyman. By 1970, reflecting a decline in the rural population, the church was deconsecrated and the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, of which it was then part, sold it and its rectory to private owners. The church was added to the National Register in 1980.</p><br>
<p>First Presbyterian Church is a historic church at 716 College Avenue in Racine, Wisconsin, United States. It was built in 1852 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. It was designed by Lucas Bradley.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The First Presbyterian Church was among the first religious institutions to be created in Racine. The church was founded in 1839, two years prior to the official incorporation of the village of Racine. In its first years, it frequently outgrew its established meeting places: first a schoolhouse on Main Street between Second and Third Streets, then the unoccupied upper floor of the town jail. The congregations first church building was dedicated in February 1843. In 1850 the congregations pastor, the Reverend T.M. Hopkins, and later his successor Rev. Z.M. Humphrey, solicited funds to construct a larger house of worship on the southern edge of the city. The building&#39;s cornerstone was laid at 7th Street and College Avenue on May 6, 1851, and the finished building was dedicated June 10th, 1852.</p><br>
<p>The building was designed in a Greek Revival style by architect and church elder Lucas Bradley. Several women in the congregation provided room and board to the builders who constructed the church. The total cost of construction was totaled at $10,600, on top of the $1,200 paid for the land. The church holds 156 pews, 138 on the ground floor and 18 in the balcony. A bell was added to the tower in 1855, which doubled as the citys fire alarm. The churchs current organ was purchased in 1886.</p><br>
<p>Church of St. Thomas the Apostle is a historic church at 822 E. Grand Avenue in Beloit, Wisconsin, United States. It was built in 1885 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>St. Thomas is the oldest Catholic parish in Beloit, with roots going back to 1846, when the parishioners were largely Irish immigrants worshiping in the home of Captain Thomas and Lucy Power, where City Hall now stands. In 1854 the parish built a stone church, in which they worshiped for thirty years until it burned in 1884. Reverend J.W. Ward set right to work raising funds for a new building, partly by giving a series of temperance lectures.</p><br>
<p>The new church was built from 1885 to 1886 on the site of the stone church. James J. Egan of Chicago designed a simply massed rectangular building with a gable roof and a square corner tower, with fine details. The walls are cream brick, with brick buttresses and stone trim. The porches are in Stick style, an unusual choice for a church like this. The windows are tall, with arches slightly pointed, a typical Gothic detail. A circle-within-the-arch motif repeats in many windows. Many buttresses lead up to little towers with gablets on top. The big corner tower has its own corner gablets, then a belfry with a rose window, then a spire reaching 150 feet, topped with a cross.</p><br>
<p>Inside, the auditorium is 118 feet long and fifty-five feet wide, with an arcade of stained glass windows. Behind the altar is another large, elaborate stained glass window. The ceiling is supported by wooden trusses. The church was built by masons Marshall and Sweet, carpenters Cummingham Brothers, and stonecutter A.S. Jackson, all from Beloit.</p><br>
<p>Court Street Methodist Church, which for a time also was known as Rock County Appliance and TV, is a historic church at 36 S. Main Street in Janesville, Wisconsin, United States. It was built in 1868 and was renovated by Masonic organization during 1905-1906. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<p>Its NRHP nomination states:The Court Street Methodist Church is one of the most unusual commercial buildings in downtown Janesville. It is significant not only for the quality of its architecture, as the best preserved of two remaining Second Empire commercial buildings in the city, with a fine two-story raised sanctuary, but also for its unique function as a combined commercial and religious building, which represented a Victorian bringing-together of worship and commerce. It was constructed with retail store fronts on the ground story, and the sanctuary on the second and third</p><br>
<p>floors. This arrangement was not unlike that utilized for the four story Methodist Church Block in Chicago, built on the southeast corner of Clark and Washington Streets in 1872 and razed for a new 21 story edifice in 1923. This Gothic style successor continues the combination arrangement to this day; its sanctuary is perched 20 floors up on top of a small skyscraper, and surmounted by an eight story spire.</p><br>
<p>It is 50x138 ft in plan, designed in a restrained Second Empire style.</p><br>
<p>West Luther Valley Lutheran Church is a historic church in Orfordville, Wisconsin. The church is situated southwest of Orfordville on West Church Rd. The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The first Norwegian immigrants in southwestern Rock County, then called Rock Prairie, arrived in l839.</p><br>
<p>The Luther Valley congregation was founded in Rock Prairie during 1844, with Pastor Claus Lauritz Clausen as its pastor. Clausen served as Luther Valley pastor until 1851. East Luther Valley Church was erected in 1847-48 as the first Norwegian-American Lutheran congregation in Rock County, Wisconsin. The West Luther Valley Church was constructed as a branch of the East Luther Valley Church, to accommodate members who lived in the western parts of the parish. The present church building was built in 1872.</p><br>
<p>The First Methodist Church in Oshkosh, Wisconsin is a historic church at 502 N. Main Street. It was built as the Wagner Opera House. The main structure was built in Italianate style 1874-75 but it was renovated extensively to its current Neoclassical appearance in 1924-25. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<p>It is a brick building. It is unusual in Wisconsin as an urban church building with storefronts at street-level. The building was begun as an opera house, until damaged by a fire in 1874. At that point the Methodist congregation bought it and completed it as a Neo-Classical-styled church. After they moved to a new building in 1970, it was used by Boys&#39; Club and as a homeless shelter.</p><br>
<p>The George E. Purple House is a historic home located at 338 Sunset Ave. in LaGrange, Illinois, United States. The Italian Renaissance Revival style house was designed by William G. Carnegie and built in 1928.

<p>The Telephone Factory Lofts is a mixed-use loft building along the BeltLine trail in the Poncey-Highland neighborhood of Atlanta. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Western Electric Company Building.</p><br>
<h2>Layout</h2><br>
<p>The main entrance is via a 75 ft-high Art Deco-style tower. There is a four-story main building, which once housed the factory floor, offices and cafeteria, as well as a single-story building, formerly a warehouse that housed the shipping and receiving areas of the factory. There are 66 loft units ranging from 750 ft2 to 10,000 ft2.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Western Electric factory and repair center</h3><br>
<p>The building was constructed in 1938 and was a Western Electric Co. factory that manufactured and repaired telephones and switchboard systems that were owned by the Bell System and rented out to customers.</p><br>
<h3>Conversion to lofts</h3><br>
<p>In 1995, developers Rhodes and David Perdue decided to convert the building to lofts. They applied for bond financing from the Atlanta Development Authority (ADA), the city&#39;s development arm. As a condition of providing the financing, the ADA required, as part of an affordable housing program, that one-fifth of the units be made available for people earning 50% of the area median income, ($25,000 per year) or less. The lofts opened in 1996, and for fifteen years through 2011, units were offered as living and work space to artists, writers and designers at inexpensive prices under the program. In 2011, the units were transitioned to market rates. Upon conclusion of leases, occupants had to sign new contracts at the much higher market rates if they wished to stay.</p><br>
<p>This Western Electric building should not be confused with the demolished 1921 Western Electric Company building which stood at 117-123 Walton Street NW in Downtown Atlanta.</p><br>

<p>8 Melbury Road is a large detached house at the Holland Park district of Kensington and Chelsea, W14. Built in the Queen Anne style by the architect Richard Norman Shaw, it is a Grade II* listed building.</p><br>
<p>It was commissioned by the painter Marcus Stone as a "studio-home" for himself. The house was designed by architect Richard Norman Shaw in the Queen Anne style. Shaw was well acquainted with members of the art establishment, being friends with Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Morris and Philip Webb. The choice by Fildes and Stone of Richard Norman Shaw as the architect of their houses was an important symbol of their ambition to become academicians, members of the Royal Academy of Arts, and of the art establishment themselves. The imposing houses and studios that Shaw designed would impress potential patrons. The house is next to the home of George Frederick Watts, and backs on to the garden of the Leighton House Museum, the former "studio-home" of Frederic, Lord Leighton. Stone&#39;s studio occupied the whole of the first floor of the house. The house is now separated into flats.</p><br>
<p>Following Stone&#39;s death the house was occupied by artist Percyval Tudor-Hart. The film director Michael Powell lived at the house from 1951 to 1971 and shot parts of his controversial 1960 film Peeping Tom at the house.</p><br>
<p>It was the first of two houses in Melbury Road designed by Shaw, the second, Woodland House, 11 Melbury Road (now 31), was designed for fellow painter Luke Fildes. Fildes and Stone were artistic rivals and each naturally regarded their own Shaw-designed house as superior. Luke Fildes wrote of his house that it was "a long way the most superior house of the whole lot; I consider it knocks Stones to fits, though of course he wouldnt have that by what I hear he says of his, but my opinion is the universal one.&#39;</p><br>
<p>Stone moved into 8 Melbury Road with his wife, Laura Broun, the daughter of a merchant. Stone and Luke Fildes were the first two artists to build studio-houses in Melbury Road.</p><br>
<p>In 1994 English Heritage commemorated Stone with a blue plaque at 8 Melbury Road. A green plaque placed by the Directors Guild of Great Britain on the house commemorates Michael Powell.</p><br>
<p>Middlefork Methodist Episcopal Church is a historic church on the South of US 169 on the east side of Middle Fork, Grand Road in Redding, Iowa, United States. It is now known as Middlefork United Methodist Church.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Methodist classes were organized at the Center (renamed Rose Hill) and Clipper schoolhouses in the early 1870s. The impetus to establish Middlefork Church was a six-week revival held under the leadership of the Rev. T.G. Aten and conducted by the Rev. Bill McFarland in the Spring of 1886. The schoolhouses were no longer large enough to hold the number of people who attended services. Property adjacent to the centrally located Middle Fork Cemetery was chosen for the new congregation to build a church, and all the funds necessary to build the church were in hand when construction began. Stone for the foundation was quarried on the Riley Motsinger farm a few miles north of Allendale, Missouri. The bricks and lumber came from Bedford, Iowa. Local carpenters W. M. Staton and J. A. Saville oversaw the construction. Construction was begun and completed in 1886. The church building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>

<p>Franklin Regular Baptist Church, also known simply as Franklin Baptist Church, is a historic church building located southeast of Seymour in rural Appanoose County, Iowa, United States. The white frame church is associated with the no longer extant village of Livingston and its founder Livingston Parker. Parker was an Upstate New York native who relocated to Ohio before homesteading in Appanoose County in 1854. The Baptist Society was formed in Franklin Township on April 12, 1862 in the home of Peter Angle. Livingston Parker served as moderator for most of the community&#39;s Covenant Meetings before he was ordained and called as a circuit preacher for churches in Exline, Iowa, St. John, Missouri, and Livingston. The congregation in Livingston met in member homes until it was able to raise the money to complete the church building in 1881. The church originally faced a road, but the county built 135th Avenue behind the church in the 1950s. The congregation remained in existence until 1967. The church building began to deteriorate until 1999 when the local cemetery association began to look after it. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<p>Immanuel Danish Evangelical Lutheran Church is a historic church on W. Second Street in Kimballton, in Audubon County, Iowa. It was built in 1904 and was added to the National Register in 1991.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Located on a hill overlooking the east side of Kimballton, it is among the best-preserved historic Danish churches in Audubon and adjacent Shelby counties. It was deemed significant "for its association with the Grundtvigian synod of the Danish Lutheran Church following the historic split within the church in 1894 and for its influence upon the growth and development of the Danish community of Kimballton. Furthermore, this property is the best representation of that historic synod in the Kimballton community and the two county area." In the world-wide split of the Danish church, this is the main local church that followed the teachings of Bishop N. F. S. Grundtvig and is the only surviving "Grundtvigian" one.</p><br>
<p>A Christ-like statue on the altar is a copy of the one in Vor Frue Kirke in Copenhagen, Denmark, sculpted by the Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen.</p><br>
<p>The church was designed and built by two craftsmen from West Denmark, Wisconsin, Niels Hansen and Jens Rasmussen, who had built a Grundtvigian church there (which burned in the 1930s, though historic photographs survive). They were brought to Kimballton by the pastor Jens Gregersen, who had come from West Denmark. Hansen drew plans for the church similar to the design of the West Denmark church, and Rasmussen created interior features such as the pulpit, the altar, and the communion railing.</p><br>
<p>The 1898-built Bethany Danish Evangelical Lutheran Church, a mile or two away from Kimballton, also NRHP-listed, is a church that was on the other side of the split.</p><br>
<p>St. John Baptist Church is a congregation that started in 1919 and is the name of its historic church at 715 6th Street SW in Mason City, Iowa that was built in 1937.</p><br>
<p>It is a 24 ft by 56 ft rectangular church with a 4 ft vestibule, built on a high 5.5 ft stone foundation. According to its NRHP nomination, "St. John Baptist is an example of simple vernacular design, based on the centuries-old rectangular nave floor plan. No architect has been identified, although some believe that Spencer Brothers, a local African-American construction firm, may have drawn the plans." It was built by members of the congregation, using stones salvaged from a demolished local elementary school.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register in 2002. It was deemed significant " for its association with a strong African-American community, and the role the church played in an ethnically diverse neighborhood."</p><br>
