<p>Breeze Hill is a prominent, largely treeless, rounded summit, 262 metres high, on the edge of Cranborne Chase about a mile east of the village of Melbury Abbas, Dorset.</p><br>
<p>Breeze Hill is 2 miles northeast of Compton Abbas and some 2½ miles southeast of the town of Shaftesbury. The county boundary with Wiltshire runs past the summit some 200 metres to the northeast on the upper slopes of Charlton Down. The terrain drops steeply on three sides; the ridge on the fourth side running away to the southeast and east in a gently curve towards Win Green hill, the highest point on Cranborne Chase. On the steep western scarp is Zig Zag Hill with the hairpin bends of the B3081. Near the hill is evidence of prehistoric activity in the form of tumuli, long barrows, earthworks and cross dykes. About a mile and a half away to the west-southwest is another prominent summit, Melbury Beacon</p><br>
<p>The Crigler Mound Group is an important archaeological site in the northeastern part of the USA state of Missouri. Located in the Salt River valley near Mark Twain Lake, these burial mounds have been named a historic site.</p><br>
<p>In the 1960s, the Crigler mounds were seemingly the largest and best-preserved group within what was soon projected to become the Joanna Reservoir. The site occupies a high hilltop approximately 1,500 ft north of the original Salt River bed. Composed of seven large mounds, the entire group covers an area nearly 500 ft long, in and around the Crigler Cemetery north of the village of Florida; six are made solely of earth, while one includes substantial rocky components. The mounds are in a straight line with an orientation of 320°, or approximately northwest. The mound on the southern end of the group, designated No. 1, is a circle 23 ft in diameter and 4 ft high, with a slight depression in the center. Mound No. 2 is a flat-topped circle measuring 48 ft by 4.5 ft. A depression similar to the one in No. 1 is found atop Mound No. 3, a circle measuring 39 ft by 2 ft and the only mound composed partly of rock; surveyors in the 1960s deemed the depression evidence that there had formerly been a structure within the mound that had collapsed. No. 4 is 90 ft long by 55 ft wide and 8 ft high; it has been damaged by rodents burrowing into its side. Mound No. 5 is 40 ft in diameter and 4 ft high. The top and center portion is almost flat and slightly depressed. Mound No. 6 is 32 ft in diameter and 2 ft high, and it too is flat-topped with a slightly sunken center. Mound No. 7 was approximately 32 feet in diameter and 2 feet high, but the construction of a roadway necessitated the grading of most of the mound; only about 25% of the original mound survives. No bones or artifacts were found when the grading was performed, and no other excavations have been conducted in living memory, if ever.</p><br>
<p>On May 21, 1969, the Crigler Mound Group was listed on the National Register of Historic Places because of its archaeological value. The site was one of the first two Monroe County sites listed on the Register, along with the Mark Twain Birthplace State Historic Site in Florida, which gained the designation on the same day.</p><br>
<p>The Oak Hill Welsh Congregational Church is a historic former church in the village of Oak Hill, Ohio, United States. It was originally home to a congregation of Welsh immigrant miners, and it has been named a historic site.</p><br>
<p>Welsh miners from Cardiganshire began immigrating to the Hanging Rock region of southern Ohio as early as 1818, working in the blast furnaces and iron mines of the region. Some of them were Congregationalists, and some who established themselves in Jackson County formed a church in 1832. Nine years later, the church moved into Oak Hill, but their church building was not finished until 1869.</p><br>
<p>The church building is a brick structure with a tin roof and foundation of sandstone. Its primary builders, Isaac Parry and Thomas Herbert, produced a Greek Revival structure; although just one story tall, it features a bell tower atop the roof. The building as a whole is a simple rectangle, although the bell tower is octagonal.</p><br>
<p>Following decades of decline, the congregation disorganized in 1962; local Baptists bought the building, but after nine years they moved to a new structure. In 1972, local residents of Welsh descent purchased the former church and began operating it as a museum of Welsh culture, the "Welsh-American Heritage Museum". It has since become associated with the Welsh studies center at the nearby University of Rio Grande.</p><br>
<p>In 1978, the church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying both because of its architecture and because of its role in local religious and ethnic history. It is one of twelve Jackson County locations on the Register.</p><br>
<p>The Île des Embiez is a French island in the Mediterranean sea. It is the largest island in the Embiez archipelago. It is located off the coast of the port of Le Brusc in the commune of Six-Fours-les-Plages, in the Var department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d&#39;Azur region in South Western France. The island has a permanent population of 10.</p><br>
<p>A frequent daily ferry service runs to the island from Le Brusc. Summer boat trips leave from Sanary. The island has a surface area of 0.9 km&sup2, with a coastline of 6 km. The island is 57 m high at its highest point. The port has moorings for 750 boats, and is the home of Le Garlaban, a three mast sailing boat that belonged to Paul Ricard and is now a seafood restaurant (only open in July and August).</p><br>
<p>The island has a strict environmental policy and its port was the first in the Var to be awarded ISO 14001 certification. The island also has Blue Flag beaches and the surface is protected under Natura 2000. Birds visible on the island include the avocet, the plover, the grey heron, the cormorant and the kingfisher.</p><br>
<p>The Île des Embiez has a main hotel with 60 rooms and one suite and 150 appartements, one hotel in the pinewood with 20 rooms and a house for private or professional events. The island also has five restaurants, and is the location of the Paul Ricard Oceanographic Institute (Institut océanographique Paul Ricard). Natural attractions include seven beaches, a pine forest and nature trail, and a vineyard. Sporting facilities include tennis pitches and pétanque.</p><br>
<p>The 10 hectare (25 acre) vineyard is part of the Côtes de Provence AOC region. Its Côtes de Provence wine is made from Grenache and Cinsaut grapes. Its Pays des Embiez wines are available in roseé, (made from Cinsaut and Grenache grape varieties); white wine, (made from Ugni and Sauvignon), and red wine, with (Merlot and Cabernet grapes).</p><br>
<p>In 1958, the island was bought by industrialist Paul Ricard (1909-1997) the founder of Ricard, the pastis manufacturer. Ricard is buried on the Île des Embiez. His grave is on the islands highest point, facing the sea. The island commemorates Ricards birthday on the 9 July every year.</p><br>
<p>The Nolensville School, also known as Old Nolensville Elementary School, is a former public school in Nolensville, Tennessee, that has for many years served as a community recreation center .</p><br>
<p>The school was built in 1937 using a Rosenwald School plan. It was the "first modern educational building" in Nolensville and is unusual as the only school for whites in Tennessee that was built to a Rosenwald School plan. African American students did not attend the school until it was integrated in 1966.</p><br>
<p>A gymnasium was added in 1948. The building became a community recreation center in 1972 after a new school was built to replace it. In 2009, after the town of Nolensville announced plans to convert the 1972 school into a new recreation center, the Nolensville Historical Society began a campaign to preserve the old Nolensville School for use as a community center. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 20, 2012.</p><br>
<p>Moel Emoel  is a hill within the Snowdonia National Park in Gwynedd, North Wales.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Moel Emoel is a member of the Arenig range with Arenig Fawr lying approximately 7 mi to the west. Llyn Celyn can easily be seen between Arenig Fach and Mynydd Nodol. Its parent peak, Foel Goch is 2 mi northeast, and to the east, the broad ridge of the Berwyn range with Cadair Berwyn lying 10 mi away. On a clear day the view southwest towards the nearby town of Bala, 3 mi away is spectacular. Bala Lake, Aran Benllyn and the distant Cadair Idris form a fine vista. The furthest peak visible is Tarrenhendre, 28 mi away near Abergynolwyn.</p><br>
<h2>Ascent</h2><br>
<p>The main route to the summit begins just outside of Bala and takes approximately 3.4 to 4 hours for a round trip. The summit is marked by stone cairn.</p><br>
<p>Moel Oernant is a 503 m high hill in the community of Trawsfynydd in the county of Gwynedd in North Wales. It has a number of western tops, the highest of which reaches a height of 466 m overlooking the waterbody known as Llyn Gelli-Gain and another at Frîdd Wen exceeds 410 m. To the south of the lake is the top of Pîg Idris which reaches 429m. The minor top of Y-Foel attains 430m to the northeast of Moel Oernant.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>The hill is formed largely from the mudstones, siltstone and sandstones of the Maentwrog Formation and the siltstones of the underlying Clogau Formation, component units of the Mawddach Group of Cambrian age sedimentary rocks. Sandstones and siltstones of the Gamlan Formation of the Harlech Group are also present. An igneous intrusion of microtonalite lies to the west of the summit and the whole hill is cross-cut by dykes of similar material and later dolerite. Some quartz vein mineralization is recorded within the microtonalite outcrop. A number of faults criss-cross the area, the most significant of which is the broadly north-south aligned Craiglaseithin Fault which runs through the summit of the 466m top. The lower slopes are mantled with a patchy cover of glacial till.</p><br>
<h2>Access</h2><br>
<p>A public bridleway continuing as a public footpath runs from Cwm Prysor southwest across the northern and western flanks of the hill towards Trawsfynydd. Other than parts of its northern slopes the entire hill is mapped as open country under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 and therefore freely available for public access on foot. Along its southern and eastern margin is a minor public road beside the Afon Gain.</p><br>
<p>Moel y Gydros  is a hill located just outside the Snowdonia National Park on the Gwynedd / Conwy border in North Wales. The B4501, Frongoch to Cerrigydrudion road skirts the hills lower slopes.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Moel y Gydros is a member of the Arenig range with Arenig Fawr lying approximately 8 mi to the south west. Its parent peak, Carnedd y Filiast is 3 mi to the west, and to the north west the Carneddau, Glyderau and Snowdon can be seen on a clear day, 20 mi distant. The bleak moorland of Mynydd Hiraethog, and the Clwydian Range is to the north, with the Dee Valley, Corwen and the Berwyn range to the east / southeast. On highly exceptional days, Kinder Scout in the Peak District of Derbyshire can be seen, 78 mi away, although such sightings would be rare.</p><br>
<h2>Ascent</h2><br>
<p>The easy climb to the summit takes about 45 minutes steady walk. There is a farm vehicle access track that leads from the Cwmpenanner road to the summit where a small stone cairn can be found.</p><br>
<p>Ulban Bay  is a bay in the northwestern Sea of Okhotsk, just south of the Shantar Islands. It is a southern branch of Academy Bay to the north. The Syran and Ulban rivers flow into its head.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Ulban Bay is entered between Cape Ukurunru to the west and Cape Tukurgu to the east, which are separated by 43.4 km (about 27 mi). The bay itself is nearly 64 km (40 mi) deep in a southwesterly direction. Ice usually leaves Ulban Bay by mid- or late June, but in some years may remain until August. The bay has no safe anchorage and is exposed to northeast winds. Tides are semidiurnal. Springs rise 4.9 m (16 ft) in the northern part of the bay and 5.4 m (17.7 ft) in the southern part, while neaps rise about 3 m (9.8 ft). Tidal currents vary from one to two knots. The flood current generally sets to the southwest, while the ebb flows in the opposite direction.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Between 1854 and 1885, American whaleships frequented the bay hunting bowhead whales. They called it Mercury or Dimon&#39;s Bay, after the ship Mercury (340 tons), of New Bedford, which visited the area during her voyage of 1852-1855, and Francis L. Dimon, her master at the time. They also anchored at the head of the bay to obtain wood and water. On 9 July 1855, the ship Washington (340 tons), of Sag Harbor, was damaged by ice and run ashore, being sold at auction for $400 — the wreck was still visible in October.</p><br>
<p>Russian schooners and boat crews from Mamga also cruised for bowheads in the bay from 1865 to 1871.</p><br>
<h2>Wildlife</h2><br>
<p>In the summer beluga whales aggregate in the mouths of the Syran and Ulban rivers at the head of Ulban Bay, while bowhead whales are also common in the bay during that time of year. In July 2011, an endangered North Pacific right whale was photographed in the bay – which is considered a vagrant to the region. Waders use the southern part of the bay as a stopover during their summer migration. The most abundant species are Terek sandpiper, Great knot, and wood sandpiper.</p><br>
<p>Nikolaya Bay , formerly Usalginsky Bay, is a small, narrow bay in the northwestern Sea of Okhotsk, just south of the Shantar Islands. It is a southeastern branch of the larger Academy Bay to the north. Its northern and southern points, Lamsdorf Point and Cape Grote, are separated by only 8 km , while the bay itself is about 59.5 km  deep in a southerly direction. The Tokara Peninsula separates it from Ulban Bay to the west. The Usalgin River runs into its head. Spring tides rise 5.5 m , while neaps rise 2.4–3 m . There is ice in the bay from mid-November to mid-July.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Nikolaya Bay was frequented by American whaleships between 1854 and 1885. The ships anchored off Potters Head (Cape Grote) or in the mouth of the bay and sent smaller whaleboats to the head of the bay to search for bowhead whales. They called it Potters Bay, probably after Oliver Potter, master of the barque Antelope (340 tons), of Newport, who visited the area during his voyage of 1851-1855. On 7 October 1856, the ship Natchez (524 tons), of New Bedford, was wrecked on the west side of the bay while attempting to seek shelter from a gale. Most of the crew was rescued by the bark Harmony; four men, including the third and fourth mates, decided to stay the winter and protect the ship. In July 1857, the ship Italy picked up the three survivors – one had died in June after a prolonged illness. She also salvaged most of the 1,200 bbls of oil and 18,000 lbs of whalebone left aboard the vessel when she had wrecked. Ships were still pilfering items from the wreck in 1858.</p><br>
<p>Russian schooners and boat crews from Mamga also cruised for bowheads in the bay from 1865 to 1871.</p><br>
<h2>Wildlife</h2><br>
<p>In the spring beluga whales feed on spawning capelin, smelt, and herring in Nikolaya Bay, while in the summer they aggregate at the head of the bay to feed on spawning salmon in the upper reaches of the Usalgin River and its estuary. In the summer bowhead whales can also be seen in the bay.</p><br>
<p>Tugur Bay or Tugursky Bay  is a large bay in the Tuguro-Chumikansky District of Khabarovsk Krai, Russian Federation.</p><br>
<p>Currently there is a project to build a tidal power station in Tugur Bay.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Tugur Bay is located in the northwestern Sea of Okhotsk, just south of the Shantar Islands. It is entered between Seneka Point and Cape Bol&#39;shoy Dugandzha, nearly 58 km (about 36 mi) to the west-northwest. It narrows to about 19.3 km (12 mi) midway and is about 80.5 km (50 mi) deep in a south-southwesterly direction. The Tugur River runs into its head. The east and south side of the bay is thickly wooded.</p><br>
<p>Mamga Bay is a branch of Tugur Bay located on the northwestern side of the bay.</p><br>
<p>There is ice in the bay from the end of October or the middle of November to July. Spring tides rise 4.5 to 5.5 m (14.75 to 18 ft) in the northern part of the bay and up to 6.4 m (21 ft) in the southern part. Tidal currents can reach up to four knots in the northern part of Tugur Bay, causing whirlpools and eddies. The bay is 18 to 37 m (59 to 121.4 ft) deep at its entrance, but shoals to less than 3.6 m (11.8 ft) at its head.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>American, French, and Russian whaleships frequented the bay hunting bowhead whales between 1852 and 1905. They called it Shantar Bay. Some traded with the natives for salmon. On 28 July 1854, the bark Isabella, of New Bedford, reported that as many as 94 ships were visible from her deck while she was in the bay, only five of which were boiling oil. Several ships were wrecked in the bay. On 12 July 1854, the ship Silas Richards (454 tons), of New Bedford, Capt. Wilcox, was driven ashore by ice and wrecked on the east side of the bay. She was sold on the beach for $194. In June 1856, the brig Tarquina (210 tons), of Honolulu, was also stove by ice and lost, while the bark Columbus (344 tons), of New London, was wrecked in the bay on 10 August 1858. On 27 July 1867, a Russian steamer ordered the bark Java, of New Bedford, under Manuel Enos, out of the bay. A few days later the bark Endeavor, also of New Bedford, had its boats fired upon by the same vessel before being ordered away as well. In August 1885, a Russian steamer once again forbid American whaleships in the bay from whaling.</p><br>
<p>Two whaling stations were also established in the bay to catch bowheads. The first was built in 1862 by the Russian-American Company on the southeastern point of Mamga Bay. In 1865, they sold it to Otto Wilhelm Lindholm, who had erected a station on the eastern side of the mouth of the Tugur River at the head of the bay two years earlier, in 1863. Both stations either utilized one or two schooners or boat crews provisioned for a fortnight at a time to cruise for whales in Tugur Bay or adjacent bays. The Tugur station was last used in 1870, while Mamga was used as a base for whaling until 1876. American whaleships visited Mamga to sell goods and receive repairs from ice damage.</p><br>
<h2>Wildlife</h2><br>
<p>Bowhead whales, once abundant, are now rare in Tugur Bay. In the summer beluga whales aggregate at the head of the bay to feed on spawning salmon in the Tugur River estuary. Waders use the intertidal area at the head of the bay as a stopover during their summer-fall migration. The two most abundant species are Great knot and Terek sandpiper.</p><br>
<p>The Pennsylvania Railroad Depot and Baggage Room is a historic railway station located at 400 Center St. in Dennison, Ohio. The depot was built between 1884 and 1900, and the baggage room was built circa 1912. The depot is best known as the home of the Dennison Depot Salvation Army Servicemens Canteen during World War II. The canteen, which operated from 1942 through 1946, served refreshments to troop trains passing through Dennison. Dennison native Lucille Nussdorfer proposed the canteen; the Salvation Army and a citizens committee operated it under the direction of Salvation Army Captain Edward Johnson. As Dennison was a division point on the Pennsylvania Railroad, every train that passed through Dennison stopped there; since the canteen workers vowed to serve every soldier passing through the station, the canteen ultimately served 1.3 million soldiers, 13% of the USA forces. 4,000 volunteers, the majority of them women from the surrounding area, worked the canteen during the war; the canteen was the third-largest Salvation Army canteen in the nation. The canteen became well-known among soldiers, and its fame spread across the eastern USA it appeared in newspapers as far away as Pittsfield, Massachusetts, was compared favorably to canteens in New York City and Chicago, and led Captain Johnson to become a recognizable figure on the East Coast. Soldiers nicknamed Dennison "Dreamsville, USA", a reference to an ideal small town in a Glenn Miller song.</p><br>
<p>The Pennsylvania Railroad Depot and Baggage Room was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 8, 1976. It was designated as a National Historic Landmark on June 17, 2011.</p><br>
<p>The Downtown Main Street Historic District encompasses a well-preserved historical section of downtown East Hartford, Connecticut. It extends along Main Street from between Burnside Avenue and Governor Street, and along Chapman Street to Chapman Place. Developed between about 1890 and 1945, its architecture encapsulates the town&#39;s transition from a main agrarian community to a modern suburb. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of East Hartford was settled as part of Hartford in the 17th century, primarily as an agricultural outpost, and was separately incorporated in 1783. Main Street was laid out in the 1670s, and became a major roadway between Hartford and communities to the east. Its economy remained agricultural for many decades, transitioning from a substistence farming economy to one based on tobacco farming in the late 19th century. The economy benefited to some extent from industry powered by the waters of the Hockanum River, which roughly bisects the town. The town&#39;s transition away from agriculture was largely prompted by the development of a streetcar railway providing ready access to Hartford, and the development of a major railroad depot, both events dating to about 1890. Growth was significantly spurred by completion of the Bulkeley Bridge across the Connecticut River.</p><br>
<p>The historic section of the downtown contains surviving architecture from the early 19th century forward. The oldest buildings are the Comstock House (c. 1830, 1132 Main Street) and Wells Hall, built in 1832 as a private academy and now serving as town hall. One of its 31 contributing buildings is the St. John&#39;s Episcopal Church, which is individually listed on the National Register; it is a fine example of Gothic Revival architecture built in 1867. Most of the commercial buildings in the district date to the period 1890-1925.</p><br>
<p>The Caldwell School is a historic former black school building in Mobile, Alabama. The school, originally named the Broad Street Academy, was the first public high school for African Americans in the city. It was founded in 1887, with William A. Caldwell serving as the first principal.</p><br>
<p>The original building was torn down and replaced with the current one in 1947. Upon reopening in the new building, it served as an African American elementary school. It was called the Caldwell School in honor of its first principal from this point until closing during the 1960s.</p><br>
<p>Following the closure of the school the building was purchased by Bishop State Community College, a historically African American junior college. It is currently the oldest building on the Broad Street college campus and is utilized for administrative and teaching purposes.</p><br>
<p>Lake Mugesera is a lake in the Eastern Province, Rwanda.</p><br>
<p>The lake is in the Central Plateau, southeast of Kigali.</p><br>
<p>The lake is part of a complex of lakes and wetlands in a flat valley running in a SSE direction, 35 km wide. The Nyawarungu River meanders southward through the valley, flooding it to create a zone of permanent swamps and lakes.</p><br>
<p>Lake Mugesera lies on the east bank of the river, and is the largest lake in the complex.</p><br>
<p>Although close to the equator, the climate is comparatively temperate due to the elevation.</p><br>
<p>The rainy seasons are from March to May and again from September to December.</p><br>
<p>The lake is fed by a number of rivers and minor streams originating on ridges to the north, east and south, which deliver most water during the rainy seasons.</p><br>
<p>The water is generally around 25 &deg;C.</p><br>
<p>Fish are abundant, and there are many species of waterbirds.</p><br>
<p>Other animals include water turtles, crocodiles, monitors, snakes and otters.</p><br>
<p>In the 15th century the region around the lake was settled by the Hondogo lineage of Tutsi people, pastoralists who had formed an independent state.</p><br>
<p>The Tutsi migrated to the Virunga region of Rwanda during the 15th and 16th centuries, settling between Lake Mugesera and Lake Muhazi. They gradually acquired power in most of the region of modern Rwanda, while intermarrying with the Hutu and becoming culturally assimilated by them.</p><br>
<p>The First Presbyterian Church at Locust and 1st Street, East in Lapwai, Idaho is a historic Presbyterian church built in 1909. It was added to the National Register in 1980.</p><br>
<p>Its importance was described in its NRHP nomination:The Lapwai First Presbyterian Church is architecturally and historically significant as a design of the well-known Lewiston architect J. H. Nave and as an important architectural symbol of organized Christianity in this Nez Perce Indian town. It is perhaps the best early building extant in present-day Lapwai. It is certainly the only early building in the town to substantially retain not only its original form but its original use, as Presbyterian services are still held there. It is a fine example of the efforts of a small congregation to house itself in a modest but stylish structure.</p><br>
<p>Nampa Presbyterian Church is a historic church at 2nd Street and 15th Avenue, South in Nampa, Idaho. It was built in 1918 and was added to the National Register in 1982.</p><br>
<p>It was designed by architects Tourtellotte & Hummel. Its NRHP nomination states:The Nampa Presbyterian Church is architecturally significant as a handsome and unaltered Gothic church design of the later 1910s, which suggests in the increased verticality of its parapeted gables the renewed picturesque impulse that seems to have been emerging at this time (see also site 95). The church is also significant as one of the fairly numerous Nampa commissions by this firm, one which contributes welcome texture and style in a town whose streetscapes are consierably eroded. Finally, it stands as an example of the progressive building campaigns whereby small-town churches often accommodated growing congregations with limited resources.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register as part of a study of historic properties designed by Tourtellotte & Hummel.</p><br>
<p>Central Presbyterian Church is a historic church at 201 Washington Street SW in Atlanta, Georgia. It was founded in 1858 and was added to the National Register in 1986.</p><br>
<p>Its tumultuous history includes its difficult separation from the First Presbyterian Church of Atlanta in 1858, occupation by Union forces in 1864, and trials of church members for offenses such as allowing dancing at a teenager&#39;s Christmas party during the 1880s.</p><br>
<p>Following this “reign of terror” against “errant members" and then a period of healing, the church began to emphasize social justice. During the 1930s, it became known as "the church that stayed" as other churches abandoned central Atlanta for the suburbs. Following the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King&#39;s assassination in 1968, the church focused on building bridges between white institutions and the African-American community.</p><br>
<p>Salem Presbyterian Church is a historic Presbyterian church at E. Main and Market Streets in Salem, Virginia. It was built in 1851-1852, and is a Greek Revival style temple form church. It has a slightly projecting Ionic order portico in antis with belfry. The church owned the Salem Presbyterian Parsonage from 1854 to 1941.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The church currently sits of the land formerly owned by Benjamin Faris. When the county was formed, the newly installed justices were empowered to choose a time and place for holding their first court. "The time chosen was May 21, 1838; the place, Benjamin Fairs&#39; tavern, where the Salem Presbyterian Church stands today."</p><br>
<p>"In 1831 Salem Presbyterian Church was organized with the remaining members from Ebenezer and Catawba churches."</p><br>
<p>Elijah McClanahan was an early member of the congregation. "He was also among the trustees chosen at the founding of the town of Salem, among the founding elders of Salem Presbyterian Church, and one of the largest landholders in the county."</p><br>
<p>Wildwood Presbyterian Church came from the Salem Church. "The church was originally a chapel of Salem Church and was organized separately in 1954."</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>"The master builder has not been determined but it seems likely that it was Benjamin Deyerle who built many of the finer Greek Revival plantation houses in the area. The churchs woodwork is attributed to Gustavia D. Sedon (Gustave A. Sedon), a well-known Roanoke County carpenter. Most of the architectural details are based on plates in ante-bellum builders handbooks such as those of Asher Benjamin and Owen Biddle, Jr."</p><br>
<p>The Presbyterians organized in Salem in 1831. The local congregation outgrew their original church and began construction of the present building in 1851. Dedication services for the new building were held August 8, 1852. The church was built primarily with slave labor, and its bricks were burnt on the site. Its approximate cost was $4,500.00, and the entire amount was paid before the dedication service."</p><br>
<p>Originally, the only illumination for the sanctuary were two four-branched candelabras on either side of the pulpit. These were later replaced by oil lamps that were used until electrical wiring was installed. Two wood burning stoves, one each placed on the eastern and western walls, were used to keep the building warm. Firewood was placed against the wall inside the church to be used for stoking when the wood in the stove burned down during services.</p><br>
<p>The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. It is located in the Downtown Salem Historic District.</p><br>
<p>Lexington Presbyterian Church is a historic Presbyterian church building at Main and Nelson Streets in Lexington, Virginia. It was designed by noted architect Thomas U. Walter in 1843, and completed in 1845. A rear addition was built in 1859; stucco added in the 1880s; the building was renovated and enlarged in 1899; and the Sunday School wing was added in 1906. It is a monumental "T"-shaped, temple form stuccoed brick building in the Greek Revival style. The front facade features a Greek Doric pedimented peristyle portico consisting of six wooden columns and a full entablature. The building is topped by a tower with louvered belfry and spire.</p><br>
<p>Starting in 1851, Stonewall Jackson was a member of the church and taught Sunday school. In 1863 he was buried in the church&#39;s cemetery which is now named for him.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. It is located in the Lexington Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The Sardis Presbyterian Church and Cemetery in Coosa, Georgia. is a historic Presbyterian church property. The cemetery was established in 1836 and the church was built in 1855.</p><br>
<p>The church&#39;s membership declined to just two members in 1979. The church is maintained by the Sardis Preservation Society.</p><br>

<p>First Presbyterian Church of Clifton is a historic Presbyterian church located in an antebellum building on Main Street in Clifton, Tennessee.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Building</h3><br>
<p>The church was built in 1856. The main entrance door was enlarged to accommodate horses, and the brickwork around the doorway gives evidence of the repairs that were later made to restore the building. The congregation filed a damage claim with the United States federal government,</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h3>Denominational affiliation</h3><br>
<p>When founded, the congregation was affiliated with the Cumberland Presbyterians. Later it became part of the Presbyterian Church (USA). In 2014, the small congregation decided to leave that denomination and affiliate with the Evangelical Presbyterian Church. The Presbytery of Middle Tennessee agreed to dismiss the congregation and to allow the congregation to retain its name and property.</p><br>
<p>The Friend–Hack House, also known as the Hack House, was built as a private house, located at 775 County Street in Milan, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991, and currently houses the Hack House Museum.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the mid-1880s, Professor Henry Friend (or Freund) arrived in New York City, claiming to have invented a process that used electricity to refine sugar. In 1884, Friend founded the Electric Sugar Refining Company with a capitalization of $1,000,000. Friend purchased a Brooklyn factory to continue experimenting with his process, and the fortunes of the company boomed, with stock prices jumping from $100 per share in 1884 to $625 per share in 1888. However, Friend suffered from various health problems, exacerbated by heavy drinking, and died on March 10, 1888. After Friend&#39;s death, his young widow Olive and her parents took control of the company.</p><br>
<p>Olive was originally from Milan, Michigan, and purchased 80 acres from her uncle William Henry Harrison ("Uncle Henry" to Olive) Hack. She had this house built for her on the property. After her husbands death, she and her young son lived for a while in the Brooklyn factory, then retired to Milan later in 1888. Becoming suspicious, other officers in the Electric Sugar Refining Company contacted her, then began investigating the companys factory. In early 1889, they discovered that Professor Henry Friend&#39;s "process" was a complete fraud, and that no machine existed. Olive Friend and her parents were arrested and returned to New York. Although her father was sentenced to nine years in prison, both Olive and her mother were released in late 1889 after being sentenced to time served.</p><br>
<p>Olive returned to this house, and soon constructed an addition on the rear. James and Daisy Hack lived in the house until 1973, when it was purchased by Owens-Illinois. In 1980, the company donated the house to the Milan Area Historical Society, who operate it as the Hack House Museum.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Friend–Hack House is probably the best example of Stick / Eastlake style architecture in Milan. It is a sprawling two-story structure with a gable roof, with single-story rear and side additions. It is clad in clapboard, including diagonal boarding in the gables, and features decorative kingposts under the gables. Large verandahs line the house. Outbuildings around the house include a wash house, outhouse, carriage house/stable, and a chicken coop.</p><br>
<p>Khao Rom  is a 1,351 m mountain in Nakhon Ratchasima Province, Thailand. It is the highest peak of the Sankamphaeng Range, between eastern Thailand and Isan.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Khao Rom is also known as Khao Khiao (เขาเขียว), also spelt Khao Khieo, and was known as "Green Hill" during the Vietnam War. At that time there was a US military Air Defense Radar Station of the 621 TCS Tactical Control Squadron, Khao Khieo RTAB TH "Dressy Lady", at the top of the mountain which is roughly midway between Bangkok and Korat. This peak should not be confused with other mountains in Thailand having the name Khao Khiao, including one in the same range.</p><br>
<h2>Hiking</h2><br>
<p>This mountain is surrounded by forests and, like a great portion of the Sankamphaeng Range, it is part of the Khao Yai National Park area. The former US radar station is now run by the Royal Thai Armed Forces and is guarded by the military. Although the highest point of the mountain is not accessible to the public, there is a viewpoint near the entrance with beautiful views over the surrounding landscape on clear days.</p><br>
<p>Land leeches are common in the bushy undergrowth and under the leaves of low branches close to narrow forest paths.</p><br>
<p>The Enfield Shakers Historic District encompasses some of the surviving remnants of a former Shaker community in Enfield, Connecticut. Founded in the 1780s, the Enfield Shaker community remained active until 1917. The surviving buildings of their once large community complexes are located in and around Taylor Road in northeastern Enfield, and were listed as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. The listing included 15 contributing buildings and one contributing site.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Enfield Shaker community was the only Shaker settlement in Connecticut (others were in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky) and was significant for its garden-seed business. The Enfield settlement, was founded in the 1780s, and lasted until 1917. There were three distinct centers of development, called "families" by the Shakers. Some of their land was taken for construction of the Enfield Correctional Institute, a state prison.</p><br>
<p>The district included all 15 buildings that survive, out of about six times as many existing in 1917. In 1978, the surviving buildings include a meetinghouse, a large brick residence, an ice house, five barns, a sawmill, a slaughterhouse, a laundry, and several workshops, in three village-like clusters. Most of these buildings date to the period 1830-60, when the community was at its height. These buildings, as well as a portion of Shaker-developed landscape are located mainly on the west side of Taylor Road between Moody Road in the south and Sandhill Road to the north. A few buildings are on Cybulski Road north of Moody, nearly surrounded by modern development.</p><br>
<p>Sheep Rock is an overlook of Hells Canyon. It is located in the Payette National Forest about 45 miles northeast of Council, Idaho and was designated a National Natural Landmark in 1976. The formation consists of two contrasting series of layers from the Columbia River Basalt Group. The layers are separated by an unconformity and provide an unobstructed view of this type of geologic phenomenon.</p><br>
<p>Sheep Rock is named for the Bighorn Sheep that used to inhabit the area. To the north is part of Red Ledge Mine in Deep Creek. The National Forest maintains a mile long interpretive trail that leads to the canyon overlook halfway around the loop. Also at the trailhead is a campground with vault toilet.</p><br>
<p>Nearby is Kinney Point, an old lookout site over the canyon. It is just off the road to Sheep Rock about 1.5 miles south. The NFS has an interpretive site here.</p><br>
<p>The Francis Gillette House is a historic house at 545 Bloomfield Ave. in Bloomfield, Connecticut. Built in 1833, it is locally unusual as a stone house, but is most significant for its association with Francis Gillette, one of the state&#39;s leading abolitionists in the years before the American Civil War. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Francis Gillette House is located on the west side of Bloomfield Street, between Cottage Grove Road and Knollwood Drive. Unlike the surrounding 20th-century residential construction, it is set back from the road, and faces to the south. Its main block is roughly cubic and two stories in height, built out of locally quarried fieldstone and covered by a low hip roof. A two-story wood-frame ell extends to the west. Its south-facing facade is three bays wide, with the entrance in the leftmost bay, a window in the second, and a blank space formerly occupied by a brick chimney in the right bay.</p><br>
<p>The home has some local architectural significance but is mostly significant for its association with abolitionist Francis Gillette. Gillette was prominent in the state as publisher of the Hartford Press, which he founded to counter the Hartford Courant as a vehicle to promote opposition to slavery. There is also some documentation supporting claims that he sheltered runaway slaves at his home. Although this type of Underground Railroad participation is claimed for many homes and is often not credible, here the claim dates from at least 1886 and been accepted by informed scholars.</p><br>
<p>The Glastonbury Historic District encompasses a streetscape dating to the 17th century, along Main St. from Hebron Ave. to Talcott Rd. in Glastonbury, Connecticut. In addition to a significant number of 17th and 18th-century houses, it shows the architectural development of the town over time, with buildings spanning three centuries in construction dates. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Glastonburys Main Street was originally a Native American trail roughly paralleling the Connecticut River, which flows southward to the west. The town was settled in the 17th century, and the town formally accepted the roadway late in that century. The basic route has been maintained, with a broad right-of-way including sidewalks separated from the road by grassy strips, and houses set well back from the roadway. Early land distribution practice was to allocate strips of land extending westward from the road to the river, which is still evident in some of the land ownership today. Near the center of the district is the towns original colonial center, including a small green, the 1840 former town hall (now the historical society museum), and early cemetery. The area&#39;s land use patterns were unaffected by 19th-century developments, since the town was bypassed by the railroads and never developed significant industry. It thus developed as a largely residential area, with housing in a diversity of styles, including Colonial, Greek Revival, and Queen Anne architecture amongst its 81 contributing buildings.</p><br>
<p>The historic district extends along Main Street from Hubbard Street in the north to Talcott Street in the south. There are 23 houses in the district which were built before 1800, one of the state&#39;s largest concentrations of such architecture. Most of these are wood frame construction, with the earliest typically having gambrel roofs and the later Georgian houses having gables. There are a few brick buildings, mostly of 19th century construction, including the former and present town halls. Prominent residents of the district include several members of the Welles family: Thomas Welles was an early colonial governor of Connecticut, and Gideon Welles was the United States Secretary of the Navy during the American Civil War.</p><br>
<p>The Lyreen River  is a small river in County Kildare, Ireland.</p><br>
<h2>Name</h2><br>
<p>The Irish name Laidhrín is diminutive of ladhar, meaning "fork". The Anglicised form is first recorded as Leyrin in The Civil Survey A.D. 1654–56, vol. viii county of Kildare.</p><br>
<h2>Course</h2><br>
<p>The Lyreen starts near Rathcoffey. It flows north through Barreen and it joins its main tributary, the Baltracey River. The Baltracey comes from Donadea lake with a small supply of fish. The river then flows through Laragh and through Millfarm and finally through Maynooth. It widens out into a low but wide and powerful river. The river formerly powered the mill there. It flows through the grounds of the St Patrick&#39;s College, Maynooth and Maynooth University, behind the castle by Manor Mills. It then flows into the Rye River by the Maynooth Reservoir. The Lyreen is the main tributary of the Rye.</p><br>
<h2>Wildlife</h2><br>
<p>The Lyreen is a major carp fishery.</p><br>
<h2>Environment</h2><br>
<p>The Lyreen River is "heavily polluted".</p><br>
<p>Ned Lake  is a natural freshwater lake in eastern Winter Haven, Florida. It has a 72.38 acre surface area and is somewhat irregular in shape. The main part of the lake is oval in shape and on the southeast is a rounded cove. This lake is bordered by residences on the south, southwest, the northwest and the north. On the east side is the 42 acre wooded Street Nature Center.</p><br>
<p>Ned Lake has no public swimming areas. On the northwest, along Lake Ned Road, is a small park with a few picnic tables and a public boat ramp. The Street Nature Center, on the east side of the lake, is owned and operated by the National Audubon Society. At its center is a house dating from 1912. The Center was opened in 1973, after the property was donated to the Audubon Society in 1970. Conservation meetings and student field trips are conducted at the Street Nature Center and it has a small, but private, boat ramp. The Hook and Bullet website says Ned Lake contains largemouth bass, bluegill and crappie.</p><br>
<p>The Ebenezer Grant House is a historic house at 1653 Main St. in the village of East Windsor Hill in South Windsor, Connecticut. Built in 1757-58, it is one of the finest examples of regional colonial architecture in the state. Its rear addition is believed to date to 1695, making it one of the state&#39;s oldest surviving colonial structures. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Ebenezer Grant House stands in the village of East Windsor Hill, on the west side of Main Street a short way north of its junction with Oxbow Lane. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a side gable roof two interior brick chimneys, and a clapboarded exterior. The main facade is five bays wide, with the main entry at the center. The entry surround is one of the most elaborate known of the regionally distinctive Connecticut River style of colonial entry surrounds. It has fluted pilasters set on high pedestals, and a moulded pediment and broken scrollwork pediment above. Also richly decorated but less ornate are two secondary entrances on the south side, one in the main block and another in the rear ell. The interior also features elaborate Georgian woodwork, with an elaborate central staircase with spiral balusters.</p><br>
<p>The land that became East Windsor Hill was first settled by Samuel Grant, the son of Matthew Grant, one of Windsor&#39;s first settlers. Samuel Grant built a house on this site in 1695, which is believed to be incorporated in the rear ell portion of the later development. The 1757-58 part of the house is described as "among the most elaborate 18th century houses still standing in Connecticut". Its historic importance is magnified by the existence of complete documentation. In addition to its architectural significance, the house also played a role in the American Revolutionary War, serving as a place of confinement for the Tory governor of New Jersey, William Franklin, and British general Richard Prescott. It was moved within its lot by about 25 feet in 1913.</p><br>
<p>The Craigie Flour Mill Historical Marker is a wayside rest on Minnesota State Highway 78 in Otter Tail County, Minnesota. The site was designed by landscape architect Arthur R. Nichols and built by the National Youth Administration and the Minnesota Highway Department. The style is National Park Service Rustic architecture.</p><br>
<p>The plaque on the site reads:</p><br>
<p>Craigie Flour Mill. Near this spot James Craigie of Aberdeen, Scotland, who came to Otter Tail County about 1868 built the first grist mill in the county in 1870. The mill stones and wheel were imported from Scotland. Craigie and his wife were drowned in Otter Tail Lake in 1872 and after long litigation the mill was torn down.</p><br>
<p>This text was originally printed on a steel sign, measuring 3 feet by 5 feet, which was erected by the Otter Tail County Historical Society and dedicated at a meeting on June 25, 1939 that attracted more than 2000 people. The steel plaque was replaced the following year with the more permanent wayside rest and monument.</p><br>
<p>The wayside rest is typical of the designs built by the Minnesota Highway Department around that time, with a curved drive that pulls off the main highway and a monument at the middle of the drive. The millstones and the iron water wheel are incorporated into the monument, though, which are an unusual feature for the historical markers designed by Nichols. The Fergus Falls Daily Journal reported that a Mr. Mathews had pulled the millstones from the nearby Balmoral Creek.</p><br>
<p>At 258 metres, Bell Hill is one of the highest hills in the county of Dorset, England and a high point on the Wessex Ridgeway.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Bell Hill lies about 5 miles west of Blandford Forum. The village of Ibberton nestles against its southwestern foot, whilst a little further to the northeast, below Okeford Hill on the same ridgeline, is the village of Okeford Fitzpaine.</p><br>
<p>The summit itself lies on a ridge running from northeast to southwest. To the northwest its escarpment drops steeply in to the Blackmore Vale and Stour Valley, whilst to the southeast the woods of Turnworth Clump and Ringmoor are bracketed by two more ridges, Ibberton Long Down and Turnworth Down, forming a horseshoe with Bell Hill. Another spur runs east from Turnworth Down to Shillingstone Hill, site of a quarry and a popular cross-country race. A trig point on the Wessex Ridgeway marks this subsidiary summit.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>There is evidence of prehistoric settlement, with a tumulus (a bowl barrow) 500 metres southwest of the summit, a cross dyke beyond it and a settlement and field system in the area of the Ringmoor plantation. Ringmoor is a National Trust property. A disused pit at the foot of the escarpment indicates earlier quarrying activity.</p><br>
<p>The villages of Belchalwell in the vale a mile to the northwest, and Belchalwell Street at the foot of the scarp, took their names from the original names of the two settlements, Bell and Chaldwell. Bell, now Belchalwell, was named after Bell Hill, and Chaldwell became Belchalwell Street.</p><br>
<h2>Sport</h2><br>
<p>Bell Hill is a designated paragliding site.</p><br>
<p>The Marlborough Tavern, also known historically as the Col. Elisha Buell House, is a historic house and former tavern at 3 East Hampton Road in Marlborough, Connecticut. Built in 1760, it was for many years a prominent stagecoach stop, and a center of the town&#39;s civic activities. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. It now houses a variety of small commercial businesses.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Marlborough Tavern stands prominently in the town center of Marlborough, at the southern corner of South Main Street and East Hampton Road (Connecticut Route 66). It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a gambrel roof, central chimney, and a fieldstone foundation. Its main facade faces South Main Street, and is five bays wide. The center entrance is topped by a transom window and architrave. The steep line of the gambrel roof is puncture by three hip-roof dormers. The main block is extended to the left and rear by gabled additions. The interior of the main block retains original features, including paneling in its downstairs parlor and taproom spaces, and in the second-floor ballroom space.</p><br>
<p>The tavern was built about 1760. It was first operated by innkeeper Colonel Elisha Buell, who had a nearby gunsmith and metalworking shop, and was a prominent stagecoac stop on the road between Hartford and New London. The house was owned by the Buell family until 1898, and was given to the Society of Colonial Dames in the 20th century, who effected a restoration of the building. In 1978 the building was in use as a restaurant, the Marlborough Tavern. The restaurant closed in September 2011, and the building has since been repurposed to house multiple businesses. A barn that was part of the complex at the time of its National Register nomination no longer stands.</p><br>
<p>St. Mary&#39;s Catholic Church is a Catholic parish in Boise, Idaho, in the West Central Deanery of the Diocese of Boise.</p><br>
<p>It was erected by Bishop Edward Kelly in 1937 as Boises second Catholic parish; the citys Catholic population had grown too large to be served solely by the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist. Its North End location was criticized at the time for being too far from the city center. A Catholic school, St. Mary&#39;s School, was established in 1948.</p><br>
<p>The historic Gothic church building, located at State and 26th Streets, was designed bt Frank Hummel of Tourtellotte & Hummel. It was significantly enlarged in 2009 with a design by ZGA Architects and Planners intended to respect the original structure, which won the Idaho Historic Preservation Council&#39;s Orchid Award for cultural heritage preservation. The renovated building combines Gothic and neo-classical styles with some modern elements.</p><br>
<p>The church is richly decorated with religious artwork. Notable pieces include a statue of Mary seated in a pew, carved by John Taye; ten roof beams chainsaw-carved into statues of angels carrying various musical instruments by J. Chester Armstrong; large doors of Honduran mahogany also chainsaw-carved by Armstrong depicting Biblical scenes; and a Biblical altar triptych painted by Tom Browning. The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>Ross Fork Episcopal Church  is a historic church on Mission Road in Fort Hall, Idaho, in the Fort Hall Reservation. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>The church was built in 1904 as the Good Shepherd Mission, and was intended to educate the native population. Designed by Boise architects J. E. Tourtellotte & Company, it is a simple Gothic Revival structure. The building remains more or less as built, with the exception of the steeple, which has been replaced.</p><br>
<p>A school, next to the church, was also built. It eventually burned down, and was replaced in 1918 by a simple, Colonial Revival building by Wayland & Fennell. Though associated with the church, the school is not included in the nomination, which concerns itself solely with Tourtellotte architecture throughout Idaho.</p><br>
<p>The complex is presently occupied by the Ross Fork Episcopal Church.</p><br>
<p>Trinity Methodist Church is a historic church at 237 N. Water Avenue in Idaho Falls, Idaho. It was built during 1916 to 1917 and was added to the National Register in 1977.</p><br>
<p>It is a "massive rusticated stone structure in the Tudor-Gothic style." It was built of stone quarried north of Heise. It was asserted in its NRHP nomination that it "typifies the Tudor-Gothic style, with its lack of steeples and flattened arches over large stained glass windows with intricate tracery. Although the short towers, clerestory, and side aisles are symmetrically placed, a Sunday school wing on the north and an octagonal tower on the southwest corner create a feeling of picturesque irregularity. Stone buttresses and pilasters provide the verical thrust in the design."</p><br>
<p>A Sunday School wing was added in 1948.</p><br>
<p>The Suffield Historic District is a historic district encompassing the Main Street stretch of the town center of Suffield, Connecticut. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 and is part of a larger local historic district. It runs along North and South Main Street from Muddy Brook to north of Mapleton Avenue, and includes a diversity of 18th through early 20th-century architecture.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The northern Connecticut town of Suffield was settled in 1670 and incorporated in 1684, and has been a basically agricultural community well into the 20th century. Main Street lots were laid out with comparatively narrow frontage, on which taxation was based, but the lots were generally wide enough to accommodate construction of several homes. In the early 19th century tobacco was introduced, and the towns fortunes grew with that lucrative crop. A private boarding school, now called Suffield Academy, was established just north of the town center in 1833, contributing to the centers architectural heritage and economic vibrancy. The town&#39;s north-south Main Street is architecturally reflective of this pattern of development, generally lacking in large commercial or industrial development and thus retaining the character of a typical New England village center.</p><br>
<p>The historic district extends for 2.5 mi of Main Street, with rough boundaries to the east and west of 400 ft, adjusted in some places for property lines. The architecture outside the central junction is generally residential and of high quality, although architect-designed buildings are relatively uncommon. Institutional buildings near the town center include the Greek Revival Baptist church, the Romanesque Revival Congregational church, and the former Kent Memorial Library building, designed by Daniel Burnham and now owned by Suffield Academy. The library now resides in one of the district&#39;s few Modern buildings, built in 1972 to a design by Hartford architect Warren Platner.</p><br>
<p>Buildings separately listed on the National Register that are located within the district include the 1762 Hatheway House and the 1764 Alexander King House, both of which are historic house museums.</p><br>
<p>The Alameda Free Library is the city library of Alameda, California. The Carnegie library was built from 1902 to 1903 and was the first designated building for the city&#39;s library, which had been housed in various other buildings since 1877.</p><br>
<h2>Architectural style</h2><br>
<p>C. H. Foster and his son G. J. Foster designed the building in an eclectic blend of multiple architectural styles, including Neoclassical, Renaissance Revival, and Baroque Revival. The two-story building is faced with pressed and molded buff brick outside of its basement, which was built in gray sandstone. The librarys front has a portico with two brick columns and a frieze with a decorative tympanum displaying an open book; the columns were the first of their kind in California. The buildings entrance is located within the portico atop sets of marble and granite stairs. A pair of windows appears to each side of the entrance; the top window in each pair is arched, while the bottom one is rectangular and flanked by columns. The metal hipped roof of the library has a raised glass skylight. The library&#39;s main room is on the second story, which can be reached by a marble staircase; the main room contains five stained glass windows on its south wall.</p><br>
<p>The library was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 25, 1982.</p><br>
<p>Greenbank Historic Area is a historic grist mill located at Marshallton, New Castle County, Delaware. The property includes the Greenbank Mill, Robert Philips House, and the W. G. Philips House. The mill was built in 1790 and expanded in 1812. It is a story, frame structure with a stone wing. The mill measures 50 ft by 39 ft. The Robert Philips House was built in 1783, and is a story, five bay, stone dwelling with a gable roof. The front facade features a long verandah. The W. G. Philips House, also known as the mill owner&#39;s house, dates to the mid-19th century. It consists of a two-story, three bay front section with a three-story, hipped roof rear section. Oliver Evans, a native of nearby Newport, installed his automatic mill machinery in the 1790 building.</p><br>
