<p>The Pipers are a pair of standing stones near The Merry Maidens stone circle located 2 miles  to the south of the village of St Buryan, in Cornwall, United Kingdom.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Pipers are on a northeast to southwest alignment which points almost directly at The Merry Maidens. The two stones stand in separate fields about 90 metres apart. The southwest stone is the taller of the two, measuring 4.7 metres high&mdash;there are two longitudinal cracks down the northwest side, and one down the southeast side. The northeast stone is 4.2 metres high and is of rectangular section&mdash;the stone leans to the northwest.</p><br>
<h2>Myth and legend</h2><br>
<p>The name of these two stones derives from a legend that they were in fact two pipers who were turned to stone for playing music on the Sabbath for the nearby dancing Merry Maidens. The Pipers were said to mark the positions of the two opposing leaders.</p><br>
<h2>Research</h2><br>
<p>The stones were first recorded by William Borlase in 1754. His descendent William Copeland Borlase excavated the stones in 1871 with no result.</p><br>

<p>The Driskell–Martin House is a historic house in Plantersville, Dallas County, Alabama. It is the oldest surviving high style residence in the community. The two-story wood-frame house was built for Thomas Sanford Driskell, a planter and a merchant from Virginia, in 1850. The builders were Nelson Mitchell and Massena Godwin. The house was used as a Union headquarters during the American Civil War. Their forces occupied it during Wilson&#39;s Raid through Alabama in April 1865. The house remained in the Driskell family until purchased by Dr. Thomas Munroe Martin in 1915.</p><br>
<p>The Greek Revival-style structure is five bays wide, with a two-story pedimented portico spanning the three center bays. It was added to National Register of Historic Places on January 29, 1987 as a part of the Plantersville Multiple Resource Area.</p><br>
<p>Marshalls Grove is a historic plantation house near Selma, Dallas County, Alabama. The two-story wood-frame house was built in the Federal-style in 1840. It is five bays wide, with a two-tiered, pedimented portico spanning the central bay. It was built for Dr. Hugh Marshall, a native of Charleston, South Carolina who migrated to Alabama during the 1830s. Located on the northern route into Selma, it was commandeered by Union General James H. Wilson during the Battle of Selma. Marshalls wife and daughters were allowed to remain in house during the occupation. The house was restored by Marshall&#39;s great-granddaughter, Seleta Llewellyn, during the mid-to-late 20th century. It was added to National Register of Historic Places on February 4, 1982.</p><br>
<p>Riverdale is a historic plantation house near Selma, Dallas County, Alabama. Architectural historians consider it to be "most elegant and refined house of its period in Dallas County." The two-story wood-frame house was built in the Federal-style in 1829. It is five bays wide, with a two-tiered, pedimented portico spanning the central bay. It was built by Virgil H. Gardner, a native of Jones County, Georgia, for his bride, Margaret Loise Aylett of Virginia. Their daughter, Mary Gardner, was married in the house in 1854 to Henry Quitman, son of former Mississippi governor John A. Quitman.</p><br>
<p>Following the deaths of Virgil and Margaret Gardner during the 1880s, the plantation was purchased by W. P. Watts. Houston Alexander sold the house and roughly 1,500 acre of the property in 1961 to the Hammermill Paper Company. The company offered to donate the house to the local historical society on the condition that it be moved. The former plantation site is now the location of International Paper&#39;s Riverdale Mill, built in 1965. The house was added to National Register of Historic Places on September 10, 1979. It was disassembled and moved during the 1980s to a site off Alabama State Route 22.</p><br>
<p>Biddle House, also known as the Vandergrift-Biddle House, is a historic home located near Port Penn and St. Georges, New Castle County, Delaware. The house underwent five distinct periods of growth and in the process has grown from a one-room-plan plank house to an extended rambling two-story structure.

<p>The Orosi Branch Library, also known as the Orosi/Cutler Branch Library, is a Carnegie library located at 12662 Ave. 416 in Orosi, California. The library was built in 1921 with a $3000 grant from the Carnegie Foundation; while the foundation had issued the grant in 1917, construction was held up for four years by World War I. The wood frame library is a California bungalow, a plain style following James Bertram&#39;s suggestions for Carnegie Library design; it is one of the few wood frame Carnegie libraries constructed. The library is still in use; it is one of two remaining Carnegie libraries in Tulare County, along with the Exeter Public Library.</p><br>
<p>The Orosi Branch Library was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 25, 1983.</p><br>
<p>The USA Post Office, located at 380 Hamilton Ave., is the main post office in Palo Alto, California. The post office was constructed from 1932 to 1933 and was designed by Palo Alto architect Birge M. Clark; during the Great Depression, the Post Office department hired local architects to design post offices rather than designing them in Washington. The building was designed in the Mediterranean Revival style and features a tile hip roof in varying shades of red, an open arcade with round arches in the front, and round arched entryways at both ends of the arcade. The entries have bronze frames and decorative bronze transoms; the doors were originally bronze as well but were replaced with lighter metals. While the Mediterranean Revival style was at the time an unusual choice for a post office, it was widely used in Palo Alto and at Stanford University; the post office is one of the few that reflect regional architecture.</p><br>
<p>The USA Post Office was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 5, 1981.</p><br>
<p>The North Water Polynya or Pikialasorsuaq in Greenlandic  is a polynya  that lies between Greenland and Canada in northern Baffin Bay. The world&#39;s largest Arctic polynya at about 85,000 km&sup2;, it creates a warm microclimate that provides a refuge for narwhal, beluga, walrus, and bowhead whales to feed and rest. While thin ice forms in some areas, the polynya is kept open by wind, tides and an ice bridge on its northern edge. Named the "North Water" by 19th century whalers who relied on it for spring passage, this polynya is one of the most biologically productive marine areas in the Arctic Ocean.</p><br>
<h2>Fauna</h2><br>
<p>Polynyas are often compared to oases as their open waters allow for an unusually early spring plankton bloom and an open water wintering area in a frozen world. This provides food for Arctic cod, a species that plays a critical role in supporting the entire ecosystem. Large concentrations of marine mammals, from walrus to seals and polar bears, feed at the ice edge until spring break-up. The same habitat provides vital feeding grounds for millions of seabirds, including an estimated two-thirds of the world population of little auk (dovekie) and thick-billed murres.</p><br>
<h2>Human history</h2><br>
<p>This region has been home to the northernmost human settlements in the world for at least 5,000 years, through the Dorset and Thule cultural migrations. Present day Inuit communities in Canada and Qaasuitsup (northwest Greenland) rely on the polynya&#39;s concentration of marine mammals to sustain their traditional way of life.</p><br>
<p>The North Water is home to the northernmost self-sufficient human settlements in the world, and borders three Inuit communities in Canada: Arctic Bay, Pond Inlet and Grise Fiord. These communities, along with the Inuit of Qaasuitsup rely on the abundance of marine life North Water for their food, clothing, shelter, and essential cultural and economic well-being.</p><br>
<p>There is evidence that the North Water was visited by the Vikings in southern Greenland in the 13th century. It wasnt until 1616 that the Discovery, captained by Robert Bylot and piloted by William Baffin, sailed into this region, naming its landmarks such as Sir Thomas Smiths Bay (now Smith Sound) and Lancaster Sound after those who financed their expeditions. Between the 15th and 19th centuries, European whalers arrived and hunted bowhead whales to the brink of extinction.</p><br>
<h2>Research</h2><br>
<p>Since 1867 the North Water ecosystem has been a favourite study site for Western scientists trying to unlock the oceanographic and biological secrets of Arctic polynyas. Researchers have also conducted intensive studies on the region&#39;s response to global climate change because of its mid-Arctic latitude amidst a polar ecosystem warming twice as fast as the rest of the world.</p><br>
<h2>Formation</h2><br>
<p>The North Water Polynya (Saqvaaq) is closely connected to Lancaster Sound (Inuktitut ᑕᓪᓗᕈᑎᐅᑉ ᑕᕆᐅᖓ Tallurutiup Tariunga) and Baffin Bay by a powerful system of ocean currents that directly affect the regions climate and biology. In a sense the NOW polynya is a result of the merging of three smaller polynyas Smith Sound, Lady Ann Strait, and Lancaster Sound. The West Greenland Current follows that countrys coastline and moves warm and salty Atlantic water north, reaching all the way to the North Water Polynya. An upwelling of warmer water in this polynya helps keep it partially ice-free throughout the year, even when the ocean directly north and south is frozen. Another arm of the West Greenland Current reaches into Lancaster Sound, delivering Atlantic waters into the Arctic Ocean and contributing to that areas rich ecology.</p><br>
<h2>Conservation</h2><br>
<p>The lands adjacent to the North Water have been recognized internationally for their importance. In 1974 Denmark created Northeast Greenland National Park, the worlds largest national park in northeast Greenland. In 1977 it was designated an international biosphere reserve. Likewise Canada created Canadas second largest national park, Quttinirpaaq in 1988 on the adjacent Ellesmere Island. Twelve percent of the world&#39;s land is protected, but only 1.6 percent of the global ocean area is protected. In a time of increasing Arctic industrial activity the waters of the North Water polynya have not been given any formal protection.</p><br>
<p>In 1982 the western waters in Lancaster Sound were listed as one of the greatest 188 natural areas in the world, and one of the only sites in the Arctic to get this recognition. Two sites within Lancaster Sound were chosen as the top 219 "The World&#39;s Greatest Natural Areas" by international work groups that met from 1980-1982. Of the world quality Nearctic sites listed, 31 years later only the two Lancaster Sound sites have not achieved national or provincial protection (nor any IUCN category Level I-VI of protection).</p><br>
<p>There are presently no World Heritage Sites above the 73rd parallel north. At the 2012 IUCN Conservation Congress in Korea a resolution was passed calling on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) to "promote Locally Managed Marine Areas as a socially inclusive approach to meeting area-based conservation and Marine Protected Area targets."</p><br>
<p>An Indigenous Peoples&#39; Organization membership and voting category was also added at that congress. The only present protection is a 1983 promise by Denmark and Canada to develop "further bilateral cooperation in respect of the protection of the marine environment of the waters lying between Canada and Greenland and of its living resources..."</p><br>
<p>In April 2016, a special Pikialaorsuaq Commission led by the Inuit Circumpolar Council began collecting input of residents in the High Arctic communities of Canada and Greenland on future protections of the North Water Polynya. In April 2017 a Canadian report entitled “A new Shared Arctic Leadership Model” by Mary Simon recommended that Canada accept the Pikialasorsuaq Commission&#39;s recommendation for the creation of an Inuit-led management plan and monitoring process for the entire North Water Polynya and consider recognizing the region as an IPA (Indigenous Protected Area).</p><br>
<p>Turner Cattle Pound is a historic animal pound at the corner of Gen. Turner Hill Road and Kennebec Trail in Turner, Maine. Built in 1816, it is a well-preserved example of a once-common feature of New England&#39;s agricultural communities. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Turner Cattle Pound is located near the geographic center of the rural community of Turner, at the southwest corner of General Turner Hill Road and Kennebec Trail. It is a roughly square stone structure, its sides measuring between 36 ft and 37 ft in length. Its walls are fashioned out of fieldstone, laid dry in irregular courses. Portions of the walls have collapsed over time, but were originally between 4 and in height. The structure&#39;s only entrance is at the center of the east side, formed out of two upright granite posts and a granite lintel about 4 ft long, which is fastened to the posts by metal pins. One of posts retains the metal pintles from which a gate would have been hung, and the other has an eyebolt where the gate would have been latched.</p><br>
<p>The town of Turner was settled in 1772 and incorporated in 1786. Its first poundkeeper was elected two years later, but it is not known where stray animals were confined. The first documentation for a municipally funded pound is dated 1795, when a structure of unknown form was authorized to be built in Turner Center. The present structure was funded by the town in 1816 and built by Moses Merrill on land belonging to Cushing Phillips. The site was chosen for its geographically central location, and because it was at the junction of two roads providing access to much of the community. The town&#39;s last pound keeper was elected in 1918.</p><br>
<p>The Bradford Peck House is a historic house at 506 Main Street in Lewiston, Maine. Built in 1893, it is an unusual example of a rambing and asymmetrical Colonial Revival house. It was designed by local architect George M. Coombs and built for Bradford Peck, owner of Peck&#39;s Department Store, one of the largest such stores in New England. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. It now houses professional offices.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Bradford Peck House stands on the west side of Main Street, roughly 1 mi north of downtown Lewiston, an area that was historically a fashionable residential area. It is a 2-1/2 story clapboarded wood frame structure, with a hip roof topped by a flat balustraded widow&#39;s walk. Its asymmetrical massing and projecting elements are reminiscent of the Queen Anne style, but the details are essentially Colonial Revival in character. The roof line has a modillioned eave, and the building corners are pilastered. A rounded section projects from the northeast corner, and a porch extends along the south side, supported by fluted Ionic columns.</p><br>
<p>The house was designed by local architect George M. Coombs, and was built in 1893 for Bradford Peck. Peck was a Massachusetts native who moved to Lewiston in 1883, purchased a dry goods business in 1885, and renamed it B. Peck & Co. in 1890. In addition to having Coombs design his house, Peck also commissioned Coombs to design his department store building, a four-story Romanesque building at the corner of Lisbon and Main Streets. Pecks was said to be the largest department store outside Boston, with forty departments displaying all manner of merchandise. Pecks house remained in residential use until 1985, and now houses professional offices.</p><br>
<p>The Big Blue River Bridge is a National Register of Historic Places-listed bridge located in Fillmore County, Nebraska, near the village of Grafton. The bridge is one of two listed on the Register within Fillmore County, the other being the Deering Bridge. The bridge is a single-span, concrete, spandrel arch facility. The site was first designed by state engineers in 1917, and was constructed in 1918. At the time of the construction, the facility&#39;s architectural style was the main bridge design in the state. The bridge still retains all original building materials, and has only undergone slight maintenance since construction. The bridge carries Fillmore County Road 6 over the West Fork of the Big Blue River.</p><br>
<h2>Location and description</h2><br>
<p>The Big Blue River Bridge is located in the Grafton Township, in the northwestern portion of Fillmore County. The bridge is located approximately five miles north and one mile west of the village of Grafton, or approximately 4.75 mi directly northwest of Grafton. The facility is located along Fillmore County Road 6 (CR 6), and is about 0.2 mi from CR 6s northern terminus at County Road 1, and about 29.3 mi north of CR 6s southern terminus at Thayer County Road AA. The site is rectangular shaped, with dimensions of 52 ft by 22 ft, which contains only the bridge.</p><br>
<p>The Big Blue River Bridge carries CR 6 over the West Fork of the Big Blue River. The bridge is located just west of School Creeks confluence with the river. The facility carries the roads single lane. The bridge consists of a single-span, concrete filled spandrel arch, with a substructure consisting of two abutments and several flared wingwalls. The span has a length of 50 ft while the bridge has a total length of 52 ft. The roadway width along the bridge is 20 ft. The facility&#39;s floor is covered with gravel filled with dirt, the same substance as the surface of the road. The bridge structure also contains a solid, concrete, rectangular parapet.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Background</h3><br>
<p>Starting in the early 1900s, Fillmore County began experimenting in designing bridges constructed entirely of concrete. Starting from around 1914, concrete became the exclusive construction material for bridges in the county. The main designs for the concrete bridges were arches and slab spans. This building style remained the main design for the countys bridges until 1920. The style was largely due to the state of Nebraskas reliance on concrete to construct bridges, which was believed to be more durable than steel, which was usually used to construct bridges at the time.</p><br>
<h3>Planning and construction</h3><br>
<p>Fillmore Countys reliance on concrete bridges began to decrease when it hired William A. Biba as its county engineer. Biba began experimenting with different bridge designs, and constructed all of the countys bridges until 1931. However, no documentation exists to show that the bridge was constructed. He constructed the bridge later that year. Aside from minor maintenance repairs, the bridge has remained unaltered since its construction, and continues to carry vehicular traffic. Its condition is considered "good".</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>The Big Blue River Bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on June 29, 1992. The bridge was nominated under national register criteria C, relating to design and construction. The facilitys historic significance is architecture and engineering with an area of significance under engineering. Its historic function is considered to be road-related transportation. The bridges period of significance is 1918, with a significant date of 1918. The facility is considered to be the best example of about 30 concrete bridges constructed by Biba which remain, and is considered technologically significant due to the fact that it "retains a high degree of integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association". It was one of the first designed by Biba.</p><br>
<p>The Calaveras County Courthouse is a historic courthouse building in San Andreas, California. The brick courthouse was built in 1867 and contained the countys courtroom, jail, and sheriffs office; until 1888, executions were also conducted in the building. The countys Hall of Records was built in front of the courthouse in 1893; the two buildings nearly touch and are considered part of the same complex. The buildings jail held outlaw Black Bart, a notorious Northern California highwayman, during his 1883 trial. In 1966, the county moved its courthouse to a new building; the old courthouse is now the Calaveras County Museum, which is operated by the Calaveras County Historical Society.</p><br>
<p>The Calaveras County Courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 28, 1972.</p><br>
<p>Bañuela or La Bañuela, also known as La Mójina, is the highest peak of the Sierra Morena, Spain.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The mountain is 1,332 m high and it is located in a range known as Sierra de Navalmanzano, part of the Sierra Madrona range, at the southern end of Ciudad Real Province, Castile-La Mancha. It is mostly covered with matorral scrubland where plants such as Cistus, Erica and rosemary predominate.</p><br>
<p>There is a good hiking route to reach the peak starting from Fuencaliente, but there is no marked path to reach the peak after reaching a certain height. This makes it difficult to find the summit in misty weather. There is a triangulation pillar on the crest, but it is not exactly at the highest point, which is located nearby.</p><br>
<p>Poplar Thicket, also known as Marian R. Okie Memorial Wildlife Preserve at Poplar Thicket, is an archaeological site located near Lewes, Sussex County, Delaware. Poplar Thicket is the name of a farm purchased by L.P. Faucett in 1918. It consists of forest, marshes, and wetlands spread across a quarter-mile of undisturbed Indian River Bayshore. Austin Okie, a grandson of Faucett, donated the property to The Nature Conservancy in October 2007, to serve as a bird refuge. The property was subsequently transferred to the state of Delaware, establishing it as the Marian R. Okie Memorial Wildlife Preserve at Poplar Thicket. The property is administered by the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control and serves as a bird sanctuary, used for conservation education and environmentally-sensitive activities such as bird-watching and walking.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>Fig Tree Bay is a sandy beach in the resort of Protaras, Cyprus. In 2011, TripAdvisor declared it to be the third best beach in Europe, but it dropped to 13th place in 2013.</p><br>
<p>As with all beaches in Cyprus, access to the public is free, whilst bed and umbrella hire is chargeable. A municipal car park provides parking within a short walk. The sandy beach stretches for 500m and the waters are clean enough for the beach to have been awarded blue flag designation. The beach, which runs the length of its own cove, takes its name from the fig trees located close to the coast.</p><br>
<p>There is an uninhabited islet easily reached by swimming through the shallow waters, the location of which provides a good shelter for the rest of the beach. The islet is covered with low level local vegetation. In contrast to other local beaches, such as Nissi, Fig Tree Bay has become a popular destination for families. Water sports such as water-skiing, windsurfing, and parasailing are available. From April to October, lifeguards and lifesaving equipment are available on the beach from 9am to 6pm.</p><br>
<p>In 2010, during structural improvements to the beach, an ancient Greek tomb was unearthed.</p><br>
<p>The beach was mentioned in a song titled "Fig Tree Bay" - the first song on the 1972 Wind of Change album by Peter Frampton.</p><br>

<p>The John C. Sharp House, located off Utah 36 in Vernon, Utah, is an Italianate house that was built in 1888.</p><br>
<p>It is significant for association with John C. Sharp, bishop of the Vernon Ward of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), and also for being the only surviving house "which represents the financial success of many of the early</p><br>
<p>ranchers and farmers, most of whom left the area as soon as they could afford to." Further it is one of relatively few surviving houses of a certain type: Italianate box with a side passage plan; it is one of just 11 known in the state, nine being in Salt Lake City.</p><br>
<p>Others that are NRHP-listed include the Charles R. Savage House in Salt Lake City, the Howe C. Wallace House (a contributing property in the Avenues Historic District) in Salt Lake City; the Lewis S. Hills House in Salt Lake City, and the David McDonald House in Salt Lake City.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>The Copperopolis Armory is a Civil War armory located at 695 Main St. in Copperopolis, California. The brick Greek Revival building was constructed in 1864 to house the Union Guard of Copperopolis, the towns regiment of the Union Army. Copperopolis largely owed its existence to the war; the town grew due to a boom in local copper mining in 1860, which stemmed from the Union Armys need for copper ammunition. The armory served a variety of purposes for the Union Guard; at the building, new soldiers were enlisted, training was conducted, and arms and supplies were stored. Military balls, victory celebrations, and the local funeral ceremonies for Abraham Lincoln also took place in the armory. The armory also held an 1837 bronze cannon, which was used for ceremonial purposes and arms training; the cannon remains in the building and is one of the few American bronze cannons from the era in California. After the war, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows bought the building, which they converted to a social hall. In 1940, the armory became a community center.</p><br>
<p>The armory was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 30, 1997.</p><br>
<p>The David E. Davis House, located at 400 E. UT 199 in Rush Valley, Utah, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<p>The house was built between 1883 and 1885 for David E. Davis. The brick house was one of the earliest of its kind in the Rush Valley area. Davis, a polygamist, built the house for his three wives and their families.</p><br>
<p>In the update documentation for NRHP listing, it was noted that a new owner discovered what was probably a "polygamy pit": a hidden room where polygamist David E. Davis might have hidden from USA marshals seeking his arrest. The room, which could also have been a root cellar, is the size of a small bedroom and hidden below the rear room of the house, with access by a ladder. Since the apparent finishing of the room was more refined than needed for a root cellar, it is believed this in fact was meant for, and may well have been used as, a hiding place.</p><br>
<p>The Calaveras County Bank is a historic bank building located at 1239 Main St. in Angels Camp, California. The two-story Classical Revival building was built in 1900 and designed by architects E. Depierre and Perseo Righetti of San Francisco. The bank&#39;s design features an iron boxed cornice with brackets on each end and stone pilasters on both sides. The second floor has three double-hung sash windows, while the first floor has a picture window flanked by two entrances; all three first floor openings are topped with rounded arches. The interior trim of the bank used a variety of different woods, a rarity in contemporary buildings in the area. The bank was the first to be incorporated in Calaveras County, and the building was the first in the county designed specifically to house a bank; until the 1920s, it was also the only bank operating in the county. In 1930, the Calaveras County Bank merged with the Bank of Italy and moved to a new building. The old bank building housed a meat market from 1937 to 1980 and later held a branch of the Central Sierra Bank.</p><br>
<p>The Calaveras County Bank was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 1, 1985.</p><br>
<p>Trebenna was an ancient city in Lycia, at the border with Pamphylia. Its ruins are located east of the modern town Çağlarca in the Konyaaltı district of Antalya Province, Turkey. The site lies 22 kilometers to the west of Antalya.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The city isn&#39;t mentioned by any ancient author and its name is only known through coins and inscriptions. The name is mentioned for the first time in history on the Stadiasmus Patarensis, a Roman milestone excavated at Patara. The inscription on the milestone was made during the reign of Claudius and is dated to 45/46 AD. There is no evidence for the existence of the city during the Hellenistic period. Under Roman rule the city was part of the Lycian League.</p><br>
<p>The only coins excavated at the site bear the image of Gordian III, who granted the city the right to mint coins. An inscription dated to 278/279 AD states that the city was designated as a Roman colony during the rule of Terentius Marcianus, the governor of the Roman province of Lycia-Pamphylia at that time. Under the Byzantine Empire the city became part of Pamphylia.</p><br>
<h2>Excavation history</h2><br>
<p>Trebenna was discovered by Karol Lanckoroński. In 1882 he joined a scientific expedition to Lycia with the goal of describing many sites which were either completely unknown or poorly researched at the time. He provided a brief description of the city in a publication of the expedition&#39;s discoveries in 1892.</p><br>
<h2>Layout</h2><br>
<p>The ruins of the city lie on a small hill and are surrounded by an early Byzantine wall. Within the walled area many inscriptions and sarcophagi were found. It contains the ruins of Roman baths and an early Byzantine basilica. The Roman baths are notable for their relatively large size and high quality in a smaller city as Trebenna. With a size of 302 square meters (423 square meters including the walls) they are comparable to the baths in the most important Lycian cities. An acropolis was added to the city in the middle Byzantine period. A middle Byzantine church is located near it.</p><br>
<p>The Honigsberger Store is a historic building located at 665 Main St. in Copperopolis, California. Businessman L. Honigsberger built the store in 1865, replacing the original store he built in 1861. The brick building was designed in the Neoclassical style. The store served Copperopolis during its first copper boom in the 1860s; however, an 1867 fire and declining copper production caused Copperopolis to lose most of its population and severely diminished the stores business. In 1905, the Honigsberger family sold the store to the Union Copper Mining Company, which became the Calaveras Copper Mining Company four years later. The company used the store as a warehouse during another copper boom in Copperopolis from 1909 to 1929. The store is one of only four extant buildings from Copperopolis first copper boom in the 1860s.</p><br>
<p>The Honigsberger Store was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 2, 1992.</p><br>
<p>Reeds Store is a historic building located at 679 Main St. in Copperopolis, California. William K. Reed, a miner and one of the first discoverers of copper in Copperopolis, built the store in 1861 to serve the growing mining town. The two-story brick store was designed in the Neoclassical style, a common design for commercial establishments at the time. Reeds Store was the most successful store in Copperopolis until 1867, when a fire and the declining copper industry greatly diminished the towns population. Various lessees rented the store until mine owner Charles Ames bought it in 1890; Ames sold the store to merchant Charles Fontana by 1900. In 1906, the store became the property of the Union Copper Mining Company, which made the building its headquarters. The company, later renamed the Calaveras Copper Mining Company, occupied the building throughout the towns 1909&ndash;1929 copper boom. The store is now one of four buildings remaining from the 1860s in Calaveras; it is adjacent to two others, the Copperopolis Armory and the Honigsberger Store.</p><br>
<p>Reed&#39;s Store was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 2, 1992.</p><br>
<p>The Stockert is a 435-metre-high hill which rises between Eschweiler and Holzheim in the district of Euskirchen in the borough of Bad Münstereifel, in the Eifel mountains of Germany, and west of the city of Bonn.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The Stockert rises in the west of the Münstereifel Forest. Its summit lies 1.4 kilometres west-southwest of Eschweiler, a sub-district of Bad Münstereifel, 1.8 kilometres east of Holzheim and 1.8 kilometres (each as the crow flies) south of Weiler am Berge, both of which belong to the borough of Mechernich; the boundary between the two municipal boroughs runs over its summit. A section of the Eschweiler Bach stream runs southeast of the mountain before flowing into the Erft about 3 river kilometres further east in Bad Münstereifel. The hill is partly forested, but on the summit around the radio telescope, it is treeless. Its upper northern and western slopes are used for agriculture.</p><br>
<h2>Leisure and access</h2><br>
<p>The Landesstraßen (country roads) nos. 165 (Nöthen-Holzheim) and 499 (Holzheim-Weiler am Berge) run pass the hill roughly to the southwest and west. From the latter, the Kreisstraße 45 branches off in Weiler am Berge, heading east-southeast to Eschweiler. From the K 45, a track branches off to the west of Eschweiler, leading to the summit area. For example, starting from these roads, the hill can be hiked on forest trails and footpaths. On the north and east flank of the Stockert lies the golf course of the Bad Münstereifel-Stockert Golf Club.</p><br>
<h2>Radio telescope site</h2><br>
<p>At the summit of the hill is the Stockert Radio Telescope, a historical monument which is now open to the public.</p><br>

<p>The La Jolla Womans Club is a historic building in La Jolla, a neighborhood of San Diego, California. Designed and built by Irving Gill with assistance from his nephew Louis John Gill in 1914-1915, it is an important example of Gills modern architectural style, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The La Jolla Woman&#39;s Club was founded in 1894 as the Current Events Club, taking its present name in 1900. The social club was without a permanent home for the first twenty years of its existence. The cornerstone of the building was laid in December 1913, with the inaugural meeting held in 1914.</p><br>
<p>The site, design, and construction of the clubhouse were all donated to the La Jolla Womans Club by philanthropist and club member Ellen Browning Scripps. The project cost a total of $40,000. The building is a prime example of Irving Gills modern style, exemplified by simple geometrical shapes, and generous use of arches and columns, with a minimum of ornamentation. This style has been described as "shaved Spanish," as it owes much to the colonial Spanish architecture of southern California - and in particular the California missions - with an emphasis on flat rooflines, and lack of frills. The building also was a product of Gills experimentation with the concrete "tilt-wall" construction method, in which concrete slabs were poured in place onto a large table positioned at a fifteen-degree angle. After it was set, the wall was lifted into place, and windows fitted into it. The interior of the building also showcases Gills interest in sanitation: there are no baseboards, mouldings, or other design details, as Gill believed that these features trapped dust and dirt. The La Jolla Womans Club has been called one of Gills most successful works.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, and is one of several notable Gill-designed buildings in La Jolla, along with The Bishop&#39;s School and the La Jolla Recreation Center. The clubhouse is open to visitors on Saturdays from 9:00 am to noon.</p><br>
<p>The Utica Mansion is a historic house located at 1103 Bush St. in Angels Camp, California. Built in 1882, the house was originally a two-story stone building designed in the Federal style. Robert Leeper, then owner of the Utica Mine, built the house next to the Utica Mill. Leeper sold the mine to C. D. Lane in 1884; he sold the house to Lane four years later. Lane and two other investors began to buy up mining claims in Angels Camp, and their enterprise soon became profitable. With his investment earnings, Lane began to expand the Utica Mansion. Lane added a two-story addition to the west and north sides of the house and a veranda on the other two sides. He also improved the interior furnishings by adding new wallpaper and fireplaces with English tiles, repainting the woodwork, adding gold moldings to hanging pictures, and installing Axminster carpets. Lane lived in the house until 1895, when he left to pursue an investment in Alaskan mining.</p><br>
<p>The Utica Mansion was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 31, 1984.</p><br>
<p>The Zalud House is a historic house located at 393 N. Hockett St. in Porterville, California.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built by John Zalud, a Porterville businessman, in 1891. Architects Hugh and John Templeton designed the building in the Second Empire style; the house is the only Second Empire home in Porterville. The design includes a mansard roof with decorated dormer windows, a front porch with wooden ornamentation, and tall double-hung sash windows on the front and sides. While the house was built in brick, a departure from the standard wood construction of Second Empire buildings, it uses wood extensively in its detailing.</p><br>
<p>In 1977, the city of Porterville converted the house to a museum. The Zalud House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in March 31, 1987.</p><br>
<h2>On television</h2><br>
<p>On December 10, 2016, the Zalud House was the featured as a lockdown location on a season 13 episode of Ghost Adventures, where a cursed chair in an upstairs bedroom caused visitors to have chest pains. In 1917, orange grower William Brookes (John Zaluds son-in-law) was murdered in this chair while sitting in the lobby of the former Pioneer Hotel. He was shot four times and killed by a married woman named Julia Howe, who didnt like what he was saying about her after bragging he had an affair with her.</p><br>
<p>The Tinkling Spring Presbyterian Church, is a Presbyterian church founded in 1740, and is the second-oldest Presbyterian congregation in the Valley of Virginia . Its historic building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places .</p><br>
<p>The church&#39;s first building was a log structure built during 1742-1748. Its 1850 Greek Revival building is its third building, and is significant architecturally for being designed by Robert Lewis Dabney who served as pastor there from 1852-1857. This Greek Revival building, along with two other churches designed by Dabney, is credited with influencing ecclessiastic architecture in Virginia. Dabney designed at least two other NRHP-listed churches, Briery Church, in Briery, Virginia, and New Providence Presbyterian Church, near Brownsburg, Virginia.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<p>The Elko Main Post Office, located at 275 Third in Elko, Nevada, was built in 1933. Its Mediterranean Revival design is credited to the Office of the Supervising Architect under James A. Wetmore. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places .</p><br>
<p>It is a combination post office and federal office building. It is a two-story tall building, with a brick exterior and quoins at the corners, upon a raised basement. Molded terra cotta is used for details in the quoins, cornice, brackets and other elements. Its NRHP nomination argues that the buildings design achieves a "imposing and stately" status, and that it is the citys "first and only federal building and represents the efforts of local lobbying efforts to gain federal recognition for the city."</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register in 1990 as USA Post Office-Elko Main.</p><br>
<p>Wallpack Ridge  is a mountain located in the Ridge and Valley Appalachians physiographic province in Sussex County in northwestern New Jersey. Oriented northeast to southwest, Wallpack Ridge spans 25 mi from Montague Township south of Port Jervis, New York to the Walpack Bend in the Delaware River near Flatbrookville in Walpack Township. It is a narrow ridge ranging between 0.67 mi to 1.7 mi in width, and its highest elevation reaches 928 ft above sea level. The ridge separates the Wallpack Valley from the valley of the Delaware River , and contains the watershed of the Flat Brook and its main tributaries Big Flat Brook and Little Flat Brook.</p><br>
<p>A controversial project to build a hydroelectric dam and reservoir on the Delaware River in the 1950s and 1960s led to government&#39;s seizure of land in northwestern New Jersey and northeastern Pennsylvania under the authority of the USA Army Corps of Engineers. The construction of the dam would have created a lake reservoir that would have flooded the Walpack Valley. For political and geological reasons, the dam project was deauthorized and the land transferred to the management of the National Park Service for the establishment of a National Recreation Area. Currently, Wallpack Ridge is located in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area that was established by the National Park Service in 1978.</p><br>
<p>Lake Wichita was a large man-made lake of 2,200 acre acres located some three miles southwest of Wichita Falls, Texas. Its creation was primarily the work of the business entrepreneur Joseph A. Kemp, who with his brother-in-law Frank Kell, is considered one of the principal founders of Wichita Falls in the early 20th century. In 1995, the dam and spillway were rebuilt lowering conservation elevation to 976&#39;, decreasing surface acreage to 1224 acres at full pool, and leaving average depth of four-feet.</p><br>
<h2>Lake history</h2><br>
<p>Lake Wichita is partly in both Archer and Wichita counties. In the late 1890s, while serving as the county treasurer of Wichita County, Joseph Kemp tried to raise funds by means of a bond issue to build a dam and reservoir across the Wichita River. The restored falls of this river can be viewed just off USA Route 287 near the Texas Tourist Bureau station in Wichita Falls. At the time, the still governing Texas Constitution of 1876 forbade bond issues in regard to the establishment of irrigation systems. In 1900, Kemp created the private Lake Wichita Irrigation and Water Company. By chance, Kemp located a basin where water had collected during a heavy rain which caused Holliday Creek to overflow. Kemp hence determined that this particular site would be ideal for the lake that he envisioned. By 1901, Lake Wichita had been fully dredged at a cost of $175,000. The lake drains 143 square miles.</p><br>
<p>In 1909, Wichita Falls established a municipal electric trolley route to the lake, where a colonnade pavilion of three stories was built to promote recreation and tourism. In 1912, the lake was sold to a private business, but the city re-acquired the property by bond issue in 1920. Soon an amendment to the state constitution was ratified to allow bond issues in the acquisition of irrigation systems. In 1921, the previous dirt dam was superseded by a new concrete structure.</p><br>
<p>In 1918, the former Lakeside Hotel on Lake Wichita burned. Though the structure was not rebuilt, crowds for many years trekked to the lake, particularly on special days. Trains from Fort Worth and other nearby cities brought in visitors prior to the widespread availability of automobiles and highways. In the late 1920s, the chamber of commerce sponsored occasional carnivals at the lake. Over time, visitors lost interest in Lake Wichita as a resort, and the abandoned pavilion was finally razed in 1955. In 1966, Wichita Falls began to sell lake water to a nearby generating plant. While the City of Wichita Falls continues to hold municipal drinking water rights, the lake is no longer used as a source of municipal water supply for Wichita Falls.</p><br>
<h2>Current lake park use</h2><br>
<p>Lake Wichita Park is a 234 acre park on the north shore of the lake. The park offers a 2.6 mile concrete hiking and bicycling trail that runs from the southern tip of the park at Fairway Avenue to the dam. The trail resumes northward to Lucy Park. The park has a playground, basketball goals, and multiple picnic areas. There is a 10-unit picnic shelter that can seat sixty persons and is available for renting. The park also has two lighted baseball and two-lighted softball fields, three lighted football fields, and an 18-hole disc golf course. The park has the only model airplane landing strip in the Texas state park system. There is an off-leash dog park.</p><br>
<p>Because of drought, the fish population in Lake Wichita has been damaged by golden alga blooms and periods of low dissolved oxygen. Therefore, the lake is not recommended in 2013 as a destination for fishing. When available, the fish population consists mostly of white bass, hybrid striped bass, channel catfish, and white crappie. Camping facilities are planned in the Lake Wichita Revitalization Master Plan but are not currently available.</p><br>
<p>A major project to fix Lake Wichita and return it to a viable recreational lake that provides social, recreational, environmental, and economic benefits to the community for another Century is well underway. The project specifics can be viewed at www.LakeWichita.org and donations can be made at www.crowdrise.com and searching for Lake Wichita.</p><br>
<p>In adjoining Clay County is the larger Lake Arrowhead State Park, a 524 acre development on Lake Arrowhead, which encompasses 14,390 acre of water. The lakeshore extends for 106 miles; the park offers bicycling, birding, boating, camping, canoeing, fishing, hiking, horseback riding, nature study, picnicking, swimming, and wildlife observation.</p><br>
