<p>The Gridley–Howe–Faden–Atkins Farmstead, also known as Brookside Farm, in Kimball County, Nebraska near Kimball, is a historic, well preserved farmstead. It has buildings and structures dating from 1899 when Henry H. Howe built a 38 x one-story limestone house until 1947 when the last structure on the property was built. The property claim had been proven by James Gridley in 1891, at which time the property was irrigated, but Gridley moved on to Utah, and Howe obtained the farm.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. The listing included seven contributing buildings and four contributing structures on 8 acre.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant as "a rare, well preserved collection of buildings and structures which reflect changes in agriculture from timber claim to 20th century technology and small scale farm diversification."</p><br>
<p>The Ratti Gali Lake is an alpine glacial lake which is located in Neelum Valley, Azad Kashmir at an altitude of 12,130 ft. The lake is fed by the surrounding glacier waters of the mountains.</p><br>
<p>The lake is accessible from Dowarian by an unmetalled 19 km road cum hiking trek through breath-taking sites. Dowarian is the base camp to this lake. Jeeps are easily available from Dowarian & during peak season they will cost you around PKR 8,000. From Dawarian it takes almost Two and half hour to reach base camp at Domail. From that point it&#39;s preferable to get horses, as the tracking is too much steep. Young people can do tracking, it will take almost one hour to reach lake.</p><br>
<p>All the tour is safe for families also.</p><br>
<p>Take your rain coats and jackets along with you. Mr. Mustansar Hussain Tarar was the first person who explored this paradise cradled in the lap of majestic mountains & then wrote his all time favorite Travelogue "Ratti Gali"</p><br>
<p>The Royal Theatre at 111 S. Market St. in Benton, Arkansas was built in 1948-49 as an extensive renovation of a prior theatre, and is already deemed historic.</p><br>
<p>The oldest part of the theatre was part of the 1920 "Imp" (apparently for "Independent Motion Pictures") theatre. The sign and marquee of the theatre, and the rest of the 1948-49 redesign, were designed by Little Rock architects Frank Ginocchio and Edwin B. Cromwell in Moderne style. Ginocchio and Cromwell had designed a Royal Theatre in Little Rock that used the sign and marquee; they reused the material in this Benton theatre later.</p><br>
<p>In 1996 the Royal Theatre was bought and renovated by actor Jerry Van Dyke. The theatre was renovated as was most of the block that the theatre was located on. Jerry Van Dyke also added Jerry Van Dyke&#39;s Soda Shoppe, a candy store, a baseball card trading store, as well as a small antique store on the same block as the theatre. Jerry Van Dyke sold the Royal Theatre and the rest of the property in 2000 and 2001. The Royal Theatre was actually donated to the Central Arkansas Community Players, who then changed the name of the theatre to the "Royal Players" and continues to perform in it to this day</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<p>The Necropolis of Soderstorf is a prehistoric cemetery in the valley of the Luhe river valley near Soderstorf in the Lüneburg district of Lower Saxony, Germany. The site was used for more than 2000 years. It includes a megalithic tomb, a tumulus tomb, a stone circle, paving stones, funerary urns and a flat grave.</p><br>
<h2>The megalithic tomb</h2><br>
<p>The megalithic tomb was erected between 3500 and 2800 BC by people of the Funnelbeaker culture in the Neolithic period. The grave was excavated in 1883 and given Sprockhoff number 682. The tomb has an east-west orientation and measures ten by three meters. It consists of eleven supporting stones which carry four capstones. The inner chamber measures 6.2 by 1.65 meters and is still covered by a mound of earth near the supporting stones. The entrance is located on the southern long side, slightly off the center. It was built on a round hill which was raised during the Bronze Age for more burials and surrounded by a stone circle. The floor of the inner chamber was covered with granite boulders.</p><br>
<p>Further investigation started in 1970 demonstrated that the tomb had been used in multiple phases. Finds from the early Funnelbeaker culture were few. Finds from the subsequent Corded Ware culture proved to be more numerous in the chamber and its surroundings. In the early Bronze Age the hill was transformed. The grave associated with the redesign had probably been destroyed accidentally during the 1883 excavation. The arm rings found then could be probably considered as grave goods from that period. In the early Bronze Age the hill was surrounded halfway up with a second narrow stone circle. In the hill bed cremated remains were found that exhibit the usual burial custom of the time.</p><br>
<h2>Tumulus tomb</h2><br>
<p>South of the megalithic tomb is a Bronze Age tumulus with a stone ring around its foot. Tombs of this kind are characteristic for the Tumulus culture named after this burial practice. Soil discoloration indicated two treetrunk coffin burials. A palstave and bronze needle were found as grave goods. There were more tumuli in the area which have been destroyed.</p><br>
<h2>Urnfield cemetery</h2><br>
<p>The Urnfield culture which succeeded the Tumulus culture is also represented at the site. This culture was named after its method of burial as well, the burial of cremated remains in urnfields. An urnfield cemetery with 940 graves dating to the early Iron Age lies between the megalithic tomb and the tumulus tomb. The graves are covered by heterogeneous stone pavement of up to four meters in diameter next to a standing stone. Circles of small stelae surround the graves and probably served to mark the graves and to protect the earthenware vessels. Occasionally, the cremated remains lay in a small stone box. Mainly adults were buried here, it was mostly women whose urns lay under the cobblestone pavement.</p><br>
<h2>Flat grave</h2><br>
<p>In a less densely populated part of the urn cemetery a flat grave was found which dated to the Funnelbeaker culture. A stone axe was found as grave good.</p><br>
<p>Jericho School is a historic one-room school building located at Ruther Glen, Caroline County, Virginia.</p><br>
<p>Madison Public School District Trustees purchased land to construct a school to educate local African American children in 1885 and soon built a log structure. The current building was built in 1917 and is a one-story, rectangular frame building with a gable roof. Between 1912 and 1924 Caroline County built or remodeled 13 two-room and 22 single room schools for African American students. This one room building is sheathed in weatherboard and has a decorative vent on the front gable end.</p><br>
<p>The Jericho School served the African-American children (initially grades 1 to 7, later 1 through 4) of this area of Caroline County until 1959, when Union Elementary School was built.</p><br>
<p>Caroline County sold the building at public auction in 1962. In May 2001 Historic Jericho School, Inc. was formed to save the school.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>

<p>The Grant County Courthouse building is located in Ephrata, Washington and is the Administrative Center of Government for Grant County. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. with</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>The original courthouse was a two story, wood-framed 40 x building, built shortly after Grant County was created in 1909. The wood building was constructed in 1909 (and the first courthouse of Grant County) by J. O. Cunningham of Wilson Creek for a bid of $4,975. The original courthouse, however, was of modest construction and quickly became outdated as Grant County grew, and due to the growth of the Grant County government, inadequate space for county personnel, the lack of archival storage, and safety concerns, a new courthouse building was necessary. The former courthouse was later transformed into a community Methodist church.</p><br>
<p>Construction of a new Grant County Courthouse began late July 1917 with the purchase of two city blocks in downtown Ephrata. With plans laid out by architect George Keith, the building was built in the classical revival style, with terra cotta, concrete, and brick exterior, with ornate columns and cornices. The cost of the Courthouse cost Grant County $63,263 total. On January 25, 1918, the new building was accepted by the Grant County Commissioners from the contractor and the local government moved into the building. County Clerk J. D. Steele was the first government official who occupied the new courthouse.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse is geothermally heated from a hot spring</p><br>
<p>(actually a 305m deep well).</p><br>
<h3>Renovation</h3><br>
<p>In 2014, plans were made to renovate the aging building and restore it to its 1917 appearance by removing vinyl windows, restoring the front staircase, and upgrading the inefficient two-pipe building environmental system.</p><br>
<p>The Christ Episcopal Church, at junction of 10th Ave. and Linden St. in Sidney, Nebraska, is a historic Shingle Style church that was built during 1886-87. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places  in 1994; the listing included the church as a contributing building and a 1950 rectory as a non-contributing building.</p><br>
<p>It is significant as "one of a few remaining physical representations in the state that is closely</p><br>
<p>associated with the government&#39;s attempt to integrate Native Americans into the army and consequentially</p><br>
<p>adopt Euro-American social mores. The church was used by, among others, Company I, Twenty-First Infantry</p><br>
<p>which was composed of Native Americans and commanded by a white officer." Company I was posted at Fort Sidney during 1892 to 1894, the period of significance designated for the church in the NRHP listing.</p><br>
<p>is an island in Sula Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. The island  are part of the Ålesund Region surrounding the city of Ålesund. The 59 km&sup2; island lies north of the Storfjorden, northeast of the Sulafjorden, and south of the Borgundfjorden. The island is connected to the nearby island of Uksenøya by a short bridge on the European route E39 highway. The island is mountainous, with almost all residents living in the northern and eastern shores. The southwestern half of the island is mountains, the highest being the 776 m tall mountain Vardane. Most residents live in the municipal centre, Langevåg, in the north, and Fiskarstrand and Mauseidvåg are other large population centres. There are two churches on the island: Langevågen Church and Indre Sula Church.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The island of Sula was historically divided between the old Borgund Municipality and Hareid Municipality, with the sparsely-populated southwestern part of the island belonging to Hareid. On 1 July 1958, the part of Hareid Municipality on Sula was administratively transferred to Borgund Municipality, uniting the whole island under one local government. Then on 1 January 1968, Borgund Municipality was merged with the town of Ålesund, so the island of Sula became a part of the new Ålesund Municipality. On 1 January 1977, the island of Sula and some small surrounding islands were separated from Ålesund Municipality to form the new Sula Municipality.</p><br>
<p>The Johnston Library is a historic library located at 210 W. 10th St. in Baxter Springs, Kansas. The building was constructed in 1872 to serve as a courthouse during Baxter Springs unsuccessful attempt to become the Cherokee County seat. Though Baxter Springs had lost an election to choose the county seat in 1869 to Columbus, supporters of both cities had attempted to fraudulently swing the election in their favor, and Baxter Springs hoped it could still become county seat in the future. The building initially served as the county jail and sheriffs office until Columbus completed its jail in 1880. After this, Baxter Springs ultimately gave up its attempts to become the county seat, and the building became its city hall. In 1905, resident Niles P. Johnston bequeathed $5,000 to the city to start a library, and the city hall building was chosen to house it.</p><br>
<p>The two-story brick buildings design is a mixture of the Classical Revival and Richardsonian Romanesque styles. Key features of both styles appear in the librarys main entrance; its pediment and pilasters are typical Classical Revival elements, while the Syrian arch doorway is a Richardsonian Romanesque feature. The library also includes a gable roof and a cornice with ornamental corbels and brackets.</p><br>
<p>The library was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 21, 1976.</p><br>
<p>Finney Isles & Co Building is a heritage-listed department store at 196 Queen Street, Brisbane CBD, City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It was designed by Claude William Chambers and built from 1909 to 1910 by James Mason. It was also known as David Jones.</p><br>
<p>In 1992 the building was listed on the Queensland Heritage Register; at that time, the building was occupied by David Jones Limited which had taken over Finney Isles & Co in the 1960s.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>This department store complex was built in stages between 1909 and 1936 for the firm of Finney Isles & Co. The firm was established by Thomas Finney and James Isles in 1864 with a draper&#39;s store in Fortitude Valley. The business quickly expanded, occupying Queen Street premises in the 1870s, then the City Exchange building in Edward & Adelaide Streets from the mid 1880s in which it sold a wide range of clothing, furniture and household items. Finney Isles, like many retailing firms, had a manufacturing section making both clothing and furniture.</p><br>
<p>New premises, which were called the "Big Block", were erected for the company in 1909-1910. Designed by C W Chambers with J Mason the contractor, the building comprised five floors on Queen Street and three floors on Adelaide Street. The use of reinforced concrete for structural purposes was one of the first occasions in Queensland. The Adelaide Street site was previously occupied by the Gaiety Theatre and part of its southern wall was incorporated in the new structure. The building featured innovative display windows on Queen Street, silky oak staircases, lifts decorated in latticed ironwork and silky oak, pneumatic tubes for exchanging cash, a roof-top water tower and a large generator providing electricity to the lights, lifts, pneumatic system and the 400 sewing machines in the workrooms.</p><br>
<p>In 1921 the company acquired a two storeyed building adjoining the northern side of the Queen Street store and it was converted for use as the men&#39;s department. In 1929 this building was extended to four storeys and the facade remodelled to a similar style of the 1909 store.</p><br>
<p>The complex was further extended in 1936 when a three storeyed building was erected on the southern side of the Adelaide Street store. Designed by the firm of Atkinson and Conrad, the work was undertaken by Stuart Bros Ltd.</p><br>
<p>Additional floors and a screen were added to the 1929 Queen Street building after 1949 and the 1936 Adelaide Street building was extended to five storeys prior to 1962. Finney Isles & Co was taken over by David Jones in the 1960s.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The building with frontages to Queen and Adelaide Streets, comprises four main sections of varying levels and differing facade treatment.</p><br>
<p>The southern Queen Street section (1909) has six storeys with a basement. The facade contains five vertical bays of windows, now painted, above the ground floor level. The bays are divided by a cluster of slender columns and mouldings extending into delicate floral decoration at their top. The cornice is elaborately decorated with egg and dart moulding, and rows of rosettes on the soffit and face. The words, "THE BIG BLOCK" and "FINNEY ISLES & CO. LIMITED" are contained on the parapet in raised lettering. Above the parapet is a central raised classical pediment containing the date "A1909D". A concrete and glass overhead walkway that spans from the building to the opposite side of the Queen Street Mall intrudes into the facade at the first floor level.</p><br>
<p>The northern Queen Street section (1929 with extensions in 1949) is of six levels. The facade comprises a perforated steel screen masking an earlier facade.</p><br>
<p>The northern Adelaide Street section (1909) comprises three storeys. The facade is more austere than that of Queen Street, reflecting the lesser importance of this street address. Originally having five distinct bays, half of the far right bay has been removed in the construction of the neighbouring section. The upper level windows have broad arched openings that are visually connected to the square headed windows below by plain flanking pilasters. The windows have been painted. Above these at parapet level is a central triangular pediment incorporating the date "A 1909 D".</p><br>
<p>The southern Adelaide Street section (1936) comprises six storeys. The facade, in the Art Deco style, consists of three bays of four windows separated by pilasters. The art deco treatment returns for some distance along the southern wall. The windows, now painted, are all small, slender rectangular openings. Decorative friezes occur between the pilasters at each change in level, and again on the parapet.</p><br>
<p>The shopfronts at both Adelaide Street and Queen Streets contain modern glazing, finishes and fittings.</p><br>
<p>Internally the store has been substantially changed. Part of the original ceiling is visible at the front of the 1909 Queen Street section on the upper level. On the first floor of the Adelaide Street section the ceiling is also substantially intact. The 1930s Adelaide Street section retains much of its Art Deco detailing, particularly evident is the black and white Rockhampton marble around the lift wells.</p><br>

<p>The Black Taj Mahal  is a legendary black marble mausoleum that is said to have been planned to be built across the Yamuna River opposite the Taj Mahal in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India. Mughal emperor Shah Jahan is said to have desired a mausoleum for himself similar to that of the one he had built in memory of his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal.</p><br>
<p>A European traveller by the name of Jean Baptiste Tavernier who visited Agra in 1665 first mentioned the idea of Black Taj in his fanciful writings. The writings of Tavernier mention that Shah Jahan began to build his own tomb on the other side of the river but could not complete it as he was deposed by his own son Aurangzeb. However, many modern archaeologists believe this story to be myth.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>The belief holds that Shah Jahan planned a mausoleum to be built in black marble across the Yamuna river, with the two structures connected by a bridge. The idea originates from fanciful writings of Jean-Baptiste Tavernier, a European traveller who visited Agra in 1665. It was suggested that Shah Jahan was overthrown by his son Aurangzeb before it could be built. Ruins of blackened marble across the river in Moonlight Garden, Mahtab Bagh, seemed to support this legend.</p><br>
<h2>Myth</h2><br>
<p>Many scholars believe the idea of the Black Taj belongs to fiction rather than history. The traces which are identified as the foundations of the 2nd Taj are actually the enclosing wall of a garden founded by Babur. The irregular position of Shah Jahans cenotaph in comparison to Mumtaz Mahals, is similar to that at the tomb of Itmad-ud-Daulah, and thus should not be of any striking significance. Besides, according to Islamic law, bodies are buried with their faces towards Mecca and legs towards the south, and the husband is placed on the right hand side of his wife. The interpretation that the cenotaph of Shah Jahan was not meant to be placed here appears to be superfluous.</p><br>
<h2>Modern excavations</h2><br>
<p>Modern excavations carried out in the 1990s found that they were discolored white stones that had turned black. As some believe that a more credible theory for the origins of the black mausoleum was demonstrated in 2006 by archaeologists who reconstructed part of the pool in the Mehtab Bagh (Moonlight Garden). A dark reflection of the white mausoleum could clearly be seen, befitting Shah Jahan&#39;s obsession with symmetry and the positioning of the pool itself.</p><br>

<p>Williams&#39; Store is a historic store located along Old USA Route 66 in Riverton, Kansas. Leo Williams built the store in 1925, the year before Route 66 was designated. The store sold a variety of goods; while it was mainly a grocery and general store, Williams and his wife Lora sold chili and barbecue beef to travelers on Route 66, and the store also had a gas station. The store even had a croquet court at one point, which hosted local tournaments; the court was eventually removed to add parking. Leo Williams leased the store to Lloyd Paxon in 1945; Leo died before the lease expired, so after it did Lora ran the store until 1970.</p><br>
<p>The store is now known as the Eisler Brothers Old Riverton Store. It is still in operation and serves as the headquarters of the Route 66 Association of Kansas. This place was the inspiration for the Route 66 songs for the Pixar movie Cars.</p><br>
<p>The store was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 29, 2003.</p><br>
<p>The Baxter Springs Independent Oil and Gas Service Station is a historic gas station located at 940 Military Avenue in Baxter Springs, Kansas, along the former route of USA Route 66. The station was built in 1930 by the Independent Oil and Gas Company; the company merged with Phillips Petroleum the following year, and the station became a Phillips 66 station. The station was designed in the Tudor Revival style so to resemble a small cottage; this style was popular among gas stations at the time, as oil companies wanted their stations to fit in with nearby residential architecture. An addition which served as an auto repair shop was added to the station between 1930 and 1942. Phillips operated the station until 1958, and it continued to sell gasoline until the 1970s. The building now serves as the Kansas Route 66 Visitors Center.</p><br>
<p>The station was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 29, 2003.</p><br>

After Niles went bankrupt, Colonel William March, an officer in the Union Army and two-time Baxter Springs postmaster, bought the house in 1875. March lost the house after his wifes death in 1902, and it passed through a number of tenants until the 1930s. In 1938, the Baxter Springs Womens Club rented the house, which it used for meetings and social gatherings until it disbanded in 1956. The house was then purchased by the local Episcopal congregation and became St. Mark&#39;s Episcopal Church until the congregation also disbanded in 1977.

<p>The Gros-Horloge  is a fourteenth-century astronomical clock in Rouen, Normandy.</p><br>
<h2>History and description</h2><br>
<p>The clock is installed in a Renaissance arch crossing the Rue du Gros-Horloge, in Rouen. The mechanism is one of the oldest in France, the movement was made in 1389. Construction of the clock was started by Jourdain del Leche who lacked the necessary expertise to finish the task, so the work was completed by Jean de Felain, who became the first to hold the position of governor of the clock. The clock was originally constructed without a dial, with one revolution of the hour-hand representing twenty-four hours. The movement is cast in wrought iron, and at approximately twice the size of the Wells Cathedral clock, it is perhaps the largest such mechanism still extant. A facade was added in 1529 when the clock was moved to its current position. The Renaissance facade represents a golden sun with 24 rays on a starry blue background. The dial measures 2.5 metres in diameter.</p><br>
<p>The phases of the moon are shown in the oculus of the upper part of the dial. It completes a full rotation in 29 days. The week days are shown in an opening at the base of the dial with allegorical subjects for each day of the week.</p><br>
<p>The mechanism was electrified in the 1920s and it was restored in 1997.</p><br>
<p>The Gros Horloge has featured in paintings by J. M. W. Turner and the French impressionist Léon-Jules Lemaître.</p><br>

<p>Panteón is Spanish for cemetery. It is named Cemetery Hill because three cemeteries of the city can be found on the hill: the Cemetery No. 1, the Dissidents Cemetery and the Cemetery No. 2.</p><br>
<p>At the beginning of the 19th century, the people of Valparaíso used to bury their dead by letting them wash away in the ocean or on the tops of hills. These unsanitary practices eventually caused a health crisis. In 1825, the government bought some lands to found a cemetery on the hill on the periphery of the city. The Catholics originally created the cemetery nº1, and with the help of British immigrants a second one was created to bury at those not of the Catholic faith, called Dissidents Cemetery. Cemetery nº2 was created in 1848.</p><br>
<p>Mount Tzouhalem is a mountain on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, 4 kilometres east-northeast of Duncan in the municipality of North Cowichan. It is situated between Quamichan Lake, Maple Bay and Cowichan Bay.</p><br>
<p>The mountain is part of the municipal forest lands. Part of the mountain is an 18-hectare ecological reserve. It is popular with hikers and mountain bikers. It gives views towards Saltspring Island, the Coastal Mountains of the Lower Mainland and, on a clear day, Mount Baker in Washington State.</p><br>
<p>There is a large Christian cross on one cliffside. The original wooden cross, placed by local Catholic churches in the 1970s, was replaced by the Knights of Columbus with a welded version in the late 1980s.</p><br>
<h2>Naming</h2><br>
<p>The mountain was originally named "Shkewetsen" (meaning "basking" or "warming in the sun") by the local First Nations.</p><br>
<p>The mountain was renamed after a preeminent Quamichan chief who lived his final years on the side of the mountain after being banished by his own people.</p><br>
<p>Born of a Quamichan man and a Comiaken woman, Tzouhalem was trained to be a warrior by his grandmother.</p><br>
<p>He was infamous for his combative and unruly behaviour. His fighting prowess probably helped establish Quamichan as the largest and wealthiest of the Cowichan villages.</p><br>
<p>In addition to defeating northern invaders near Maple Bay, in part by disguising warriors in canoes as women, Tzouhalem assumed command of the First Nations attacking Fort Victoria in 1844. Enraged by the forts demands for compensation or punishment following the slaying of some ranging cattle, Tzouhalems warriors peppered the fort with threats and musket balls for two days until its Chief Factor Roderick Finlayson arranged for demonstrations of the fort&#39;s nine-inch cannons. After the cannons destroyed a cedar-bark hut and a canoe, the parties negotiated compensation to resolve the dispute and Tzouhalem withdrew his forces.</p><br>
<p>Because of his frequent murders, Tzouhalem was at last banished by his fellow tribesmen, and took up residence in a cave on the side of Mount Tzouhalem. He had fourteen wives living with him, most of whom had been widowed by him. In 1859, when trying to gain another wife from Penelakut Island (Kuper Island until 2010), he was killed by her or her husband.</p><br>
<p>The mountain served as the target for the cannons of HMS Trincomalee of the Royal Navy&#39;s Pacific Squadron when it signalled its arrival in Cowichan Bay. Early maps by the British identified the area as "Tzohailim Hill" (1855) and "Tzohailin Hill" (1864). In 1911, the Geographical Names Board of Canada adopted "Tzuhalem Mountain". In 1950, the form of name changed to "Mount Tzuhalem" until the spelling was altered to Mount Tzouhalem in 2000 to align with the local, traditional spelling supported by the Cowichan Tribes band government.</p><br>
<h2>Ecological Reserve</h2><br>
<p>After the Cowichan Valley Naturalists&#39; Society encountered signs in 1979 that a housing subdivision was planned for the area, they successfully lobbied the municipal council and Mayor Graham Bruce to preserve the land. North Cowichan donated the municipally owned land to BC Parks in 1980.</p><br>
<p>In 1984, BC Parks created the 18-hectare Mount Tzuhalem Ecological Reserve to preserve outstanding Garry oak-wildflower stands. Ecological Reserves are areas in British Columbia selected to preserve representative and special natural ecosystems, plant and animal species, features, and phenomena. Ecological Reserves provide the highest level of protection for the maintenance of physical and biological diversity, while allowing for research and educational activities.</p><br>
<p>The reserve, at middle elevations (120-280 metres) on the western side of the mountain, faces southwest and has strongly sloping, internally hilly terrain.</p><br>
<p>The Tzuhalem area is a historical harvesting location for the Vancouver Island Coast Salish First Nations. The reserve is a camas harvesting site that was traditionally burned to increase yields and maintain the open, park-like habitat.</p><br>
<h2>Access</h2><br>
<p>Easiest access is from a parking lot at the head of Kaspa Road (~ 30 spaces). The mountain can also be reached from Genoa Bay (most difficult ascent) or from roadside parking (~ 5 vehicles, difficult ascent) at St. Ann&#39;s church on Tzouhalem Road near Providence Farm. Trails are open year-round, except during periods of high fire hazard, for non-vehicular traffic.</p><br>
<p>Rainbow Falls is a waterfall located on Fountain Creek in Manitou Springs, Colorado. These falls are known for the large amount of graffiti painted on the canyon walls and bridge overpass. The falls plunge is located beneath a bridge that links Manitou Avenue to Highway 24. The trail head to the falls is located on a 180 degree bend in Serpentine Drive, about a half mile off of HWY 24 across from the entrance to the Cave of the Winds. The location of the entrance is at coordinates: 38°5204.8"N 104°55&#39;26.9"W . As of June 2013 the trail and parking lot are closed for the summer of 2013 for improvement from the El Paso County Parks Department. The falls have since reopened with a concrete walkway that snakes along the river.</p><br>

<p>The Morris Wide Water Canal Boat Site is an archaeological site in Morris, Illinois, which contains the remains of seven canal boats sunk in the Illinois & Michigan Canal. The boats were likely built between 1865 and 1885 and were abandoned at the site between 1895 and 1915, after which they gradually sank. All of the boats were flat-bottomed with a rounded bow and stern. The hulls of the boats are in good condition and provide insight into construction methods used in canal boats of the period. As no fully intact Illinois canal boats from the period survive, the remains of these boats are some of the few pieces of physical evidence which can be used to study canal travel during the era. The remains were first discovered in 1978 after a storm exposed the part of the canal bed containing the boats; another storm in 1996 again exposed the boats and allowed further studies to be conducted on them.</p><br>
<p>The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 4, 2000.</p><br>
<p>The Rucker House, also known as the Caretaker&#39;s House is a historic house at Benton and School Streets in Bauxite, Arkansas. It is a vernacular two-story wood frame structure, with a side gable central section that has a cross-gable section at the western end, and a second wing extending northward from the eastern end. A porch extends across the front as far as the cross-gable section, with a shed roof supported by simple posts. The house was built in 1905 by the Pittsburgh Reduction Company, a predecessor of Alcoa, whose bauxite mining business dominated the local economy.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. It was deemed important as the only surviving, intact house of the original Bauxite, a company town that was established in 1903. It was home of the company&#39;s plant supervisor, W. A. Rucker.</p><br>
<p>White and Companys Goose Lake Stoneware Manufactury is an archaeological site located at 5010 N. Jugtown Road in the Goose Lake Prairie State Natural Area, near Morris, Illinois. The site, as well as the nearby tile works site, was part of a large White and Company plant used to manufacture stoneware and tile. The manufactury, which operated from 1855 to 1866, was one of the earliest large-scale stoneware plants in Illinois. The company chose the site for its plant due to the abundant clay resources around Goose Lake, which it used in its products. A town known as Jugtown was settled nearby for the plants employees; the town reached a population of 114 by 1860. The stoneware site now mainly contains waste products from the stoneware production process, including kiln furniture and waster sherds.</p><br>
<p>The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 6, 1998.</p><br>
<p>White and Company&#39;s Goose Lake Tile Works is an archaeological site located at 5010 N. Jugtown Rd. in the Goose Lake Prairie State Natural Area, near Morris, Illinois. The site, as well as the nearby stoneware manufactury site, was part of a large White and Company plant used to manufacture stoneware and tile. The tile works, which operated from 1855 until 1865, was one of the earliest attempts at large-scale drainage tile production in Illinois. White and Company chose the site due to the abundance of clay around Goose Lake, which it used in its products. Due to the large number of workers employed by the company, a town called Jugtown was settled nearby; the town reached a population of 114 by 1860. The tile works site now mainly consists of waste products from tile production, including tile fragments and kiln furniture.</p><br>
<p>The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 6, 1998.</p><br>
<p>The Serpentine Lakes is a chain of salt lakes in the Great Victoria Desert of Australia. It runs for almost 100 km along the border between South Australia and Western Australia. When full, the lakes cover an area of 9,700 hectare. Most of it is located in the Mamungari Conservation Park. The Anne Beadell Highway crosses the northernmost arm of the lake.</p><br>
<p>The Serpentine Lakes are considered an important wetlands area. They form part of a major palaeo-drainage system, a now-inactive drainage system from the Palaeozoic era. The surface of the lake normally consists of dry clay, silt and sand, and is covered with a salty crust. The sediment is mostly quartz arenite. The lakes form the main channel of the palaeo-drainage system. Other channels are covered by sand dunes and are not well defined. The surface elevation is 264 m above mean sea-level.</p><br>
<p>Tektites high in magnesium have been found in these lakes.</p><br>
<p>Gill Pinnacle  is an inselberg located in the far east of Western Australia, on the Ngaanyatjarra Lands. It part of the Petermann Ranges. It consists of a dome-shaped hill, surrounded by dense mulga; its top is bare rock. The hill has been useful as a landmark, because it marks the location of one of the areas most reliable freshwater rockholes, Gordon&#39;s Springs. This is located a few hundred metres to the north of the rock.</p><br>
<p>The area is called Kutjuntari (also spelled Kudjuntari or Kutjurntari) in Pitjantjatjara and Ngaanyatjarra.</p><br>
<p>The first European people to visit the area were the explorers Ernest Giles and W. H. Tietkens, in 1874. They saw the rock from Weld Pass, which is further to the west. Giles named the rock after his brother-in-law, and the waterhole, Gordon&#39;s Springs, after his nephew.</p><br>
<p>The closest town to Gill&#39;s Pinnacle is Kaltukatjara, which is about 31 km to the east in the Northern Territory.</p><br>
<p>Lake Neale is a salt lake in the southwest corner of the Northern Territory of Australia. It is on the north-western side of Lake Amadeus. The two lakes form part of a chain of salt lakes that stretches about 500 km, from Lake Hopkins in the west to the Finke River in the east. This drainage basin is known as the Amadeus Basin. The lake is usually a dry salt pan, and only holds water for short periods after heavy rainfall. Lake Neale is on Aboriginal land, held in the Petermann Aboriginal Land Trust. The Haasts Bluff lands are nearby to the north.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Lake Neale was named after Frank Neale, one of the pilots of an aerial expedition to accurately survey the desert regions northwest of Alice Springs in 1930. Neale flew one of the two planes that had been hired by explorer Donald Mackay for the expedition. The team made 15 survey flights over 24 days, in which they mapped the dimensions of Lakes Amadeus and Neale and found the even larger Lake Mackay, further to the north.</p><br>
<p>The first European to see Lake Neale was the explorer Ernest Giles in 1872. He was travelling towards Kata Tjuta after sighting the peak from a distance, but Lake Amadeus blocked his path. He sighted Lake Neale when he tried to reach Mount Unapproachable, on the northern side of the lake. He was coming from the east, and did not notice a land bridge between Neale and Amadeus, mistaking them as the one lake. William Tietkens corrected this mistake in an expedition of his own seventeen years later.</p><br>
<p>Kolobeng Mission , built in 1847, the third and final mission of David Livingstone, a missionary and explorer of Africa. Located in the country of Botswana, 3 km west of Kumakwane and 25 km west of Gaborone off the Thamaga-Kanye Road, the mission housed a church and a school and was also the home of David Livingstone, his wife Mary Livingstone, and their children. While here, Livingstone converted Sechele I, kgosi of the Bakwena and taught them irrigation methods using the nearby Kolobeng River. A drought began in 1848, and the Bakwena blamed the natural disaster on Livingstones presence. In 1852, Boer farmers attacked the tribes in the area, including the Bakwena at Kolobeng in the Battle of Dimawe. This prompted the Livingstones to leave Kolobeng, and the mission was abandoned. A fence was installed around the site in 1935, and the mission is now preserved by the Department of National Museum and Monuments under Botswanas Ministry of Environment, Wildlife and Tourism.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Before David Livingstone arrived in Kolobeng, he was first assigned to a London Missionary Society mission in Kuruman in present-day South Africa in 1841. He met Sechele I, leader of the Bakwena, while stationed in Kuruman. He later moved to Chonuane with the Bakwena and stayed there for a year. A drought occurred, and Livingstone convinced Sechele that rainmaking would not end the drought, and that the only way to water their crops was to "select some good, never-failing river, make a canal, and irrigate the adjacent lands". They chose the Kolobeng River 40 mi away and immediately moved there.</p><br>
<p>At their new location, the Bakwena built a dam and canal from the river as well as a school while Livingstone built Secheles house, taught the clan how to irrigate fields, and practised Western medicine. Livingstone stated that their attempt at living at Kolobeng "succeeded admirably". During the drought, the Bakwena, seeing that other tribes in the area were receiving rain, asked Livingstone to produce rain, but, while he sympathized, he tried to stop their rainmaking rituals and requested that they focus more on praying to God. Secheles uncle had this to say about Livingstone and his response:</p><br>
<p>In 1852, the Battle of Dimawe occurred. Boer farmers raided the settlement, stealing cattle, wagons, and women, but through the command of Sechele, the Bakwena successfully defended their settlement. The raid and the ongoing drought caused unrest among the Bakwena so they left the settlement. Livingstone also left the mission for Cape Town to restock for his future travels further inland while his wife and children returned to England.</p><br>
<h2>Present-day</h2><br>
<p>The site sat unattended until 1935 when a doctor from the Scottish Livingstone Hospital in Molepolole built a fence around the mission. Today, only the remnants of the irrigation system and the foundations of the buildings remain.</p><br>
<h2>Legacy</h2><br>
<p>In honour of the 200th anniversary of David Livingstone&#39;s birth, a play, I Knew A Man Called Livingstone, was created. The play is told through the eyes of the African people whom he met during his travels, and part of the play focuses on his time spent at Kolobeng.</p><br>
<p>Bedford Historic District is a national historic district located at Bedford, Virginia. The district encompasses 208 contributing buildings in two residential neighborhoods of Bedford, known locally as the Old Avenel area and the Longwood Avenue area.</p><br>

Avenel (1836) and the John D. Ballard House (1915) are separately listed.</p><br>
<p>The District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>Avenel, also known as the William M. Burwell House, is a historic home located at Bedford, Virginia. It was built about 1836, and is a two-story, brick dwelling with a blend of Federal and Greek Revival styling. It is topped by a hipped roof and has a one-story wraparound porch. Also on the property are a contributing smokehouse, hen house, a frame 19th-century barn, and site of a kitchen building.</p><br>
<p>"The Lady in White" or the "White Lady of Avenel", is the most commonly reported apparition at Avenel. The apparition is thought to be Mary Frances "Fran" Burwell. "The legend has it that she stayed on the front porch waiting for her husband to come home from the Civil War, but he never did." says Adam Stupin, founder of SouthWest Virginia Ghost Hunters.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. It is located in the Bedford Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The Pontiac City Hall and Fire Station is a historic building located at 110 W. Howard St. in Pontiac, Illinois, which served as both Pontiacs city hall and fire station. The building was constructed in 1900 to replace an 1883 building which also served as both a city hall and a fire station. Architect John H. Barnes designed the building in the Romanesque Revival style. Though built as a single building, the city hall and fire station are separated on the interior; a bell tower connects the two buildings. The building housed both Pontiacs city government and fire protection services until 1986.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 16, 1990.</p><br>
<h2>Pontiac Museum Complex</h2><br>
<p>The building is now home to several museums and themed exhibits, which are collectively known as the Pontiac Museum Complex.</p><br>

<p>The Main Street Historic District is a commercial historic district that includes structures located at 3-153 East Main Street, 1-41 West Main Street, and 8 Park Lane in Milan, Michigan. Although within Milan, the district spans the county line between Washtenaw County, Michigan and Monroe County, Michigan, containing structures within both counties. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Milan was first settled in 1830, located at a point on the Saline River and on the Monroe-Saline plank road. Major fires in the commercial district destroyed buildings in 1891 and 1893.</p><br>
<h2>Structures</h2><br>
<p>The structures in the Main Street Historic District are primarily commercial in nature. However, the district also includes structures originally built as a hotel, city hall/fire station, post office, church, hospital, meeting hall, and theatre. Sugnificant structures include:</p><br>
<p>Stimpson Hotel/Danube Inn (24 W. Main): The Stimpson Hotel was built by Walter Stimpson in 1901. The hotel was destroyed by fire in 2011.</p><br>
<p>Ellis Building (12 E. Main): The Ellis Building was constructed by Elijah Ellis in 1845, and is the oldest building in the district.</p><br>
<p>(52 E. Main) This was built in 1906 by Dr. Emmet Pyle built for use as his home, medical office, and hospital.</p><br>
<p>Post Office (123 E. Main) The post office was dedicated in 1959.</p><br>
<p>Old Village Hall and Fire Station (153 East Main Street): The Old Village Hall And Fire Station was built in 1897, and was the first structure in the village built for municipal purposes. It is a two-story gross-gable brick building; it originally housed the fire department on the ground floor and village offices on the second. It is now the home of the Milan Area Historical Society.</p><br>
<p>Marble Memorial United Methodist Church (8 Park Lane): The cornerstone of the Marble Memorial United Methodist Church (originally the Methodist Episcopal Church) was laid in 1888. A large addition was added to the church in 1955, an education wing was added in 1964−65, and a major renovation was undertaken in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Hazen Store is a small complex of buildings in Hazen, Nevada, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The store provided a stopping point in a remote portion of USA Route 50 and served as a focal point in the small town of Hazen. The store was built in 1944 to replace an earlier store that was demolished to make way for a realignment of Route 50.</p><br>
<p>The property comprises the main store, a garage, and a bunkhouse formerly used by the Southern Pacific Railroad. The central portion of the structure dates to about 1904, operating at a different location as a saloon called Shorty&#39;s Bar until it was relocated in 1944.</p><br>
<p>The Hazen Store was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 28, 2002, as an illustration of a commercial property on the Reno Highway.</p><br>
<p>The Roman Fort of Carpow was a Roman fortress situated at the confluence of the rivers Tay and Earn in what is now Scotland.</p><br>
<p>The fortress is known to have been occupied from the late second century AD until the early third century AD. The site of the fort has not been comprehensively excavated but it is believed to have served as a naval supply depot for Roman forces in the central lowlands. Its occupation also coincided with the campaigns of Septimius Severus in the area.</p><br>
<p>It has been suggested that the Carpow fort was the place named as "Horrea Classis" or "Poreo Classis" in the Ravenna Cosmography.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The Carpow fort was situated on a coastal plain on the southern bank of the river Tay approximately one kilometre east of the Tay&#39;s confluence with the River Earn. The Firth of Tay lay eastward of the fort and provided access to the North Sea.</p><br>
<p>During the era of the forts occupation, the Antonine Wall lay to the south. Prior to the era of the forts occupation, the Gask Ridge system of Limes lay to the north and west.</p><br>
<p>While the fort was occupied the vicinity was inhabited by the people referred to in Roman sources as either Caledonians or Caledones. In subsequent decades the Romans would refer to the local people as Picts. The significant Pictish site of Clatchard Craig lay to the immediate east of the Carpow fort.</p><br>
<h2>Description of the Modern Site</h2><br>
<p>Modern Carpow is a rural hamlet, consisting of several residences, immediately eastward of the mouth of the river Earn. The fort is partially obscured by these buildings and its only visible remnant is its northern rampart. This survives as a ridge of approximately 1.6m height.</p><br>
<p>Other structures can be discerned by crop marks. They include the full quadrilateral outline of the fort&#39;s ramparts and the remains of a building which seems to have been a typical Roman military headquarters known as a "principia".</p><br>
<h2>Archeological Excavations</h2><br>
<p>Archeological excavations were conducted at the site of the Carpow fort between 1964 and 1979. These excavations discovered numismatic evidence which suggested that the fort was occupied between the late second century AD and the early third century AD. The earliest coin found was heavily worn and dated to the rule of Hadrian. The latest coin found was in mint condition and dated to the reign of Caracalla.</p><br>
<p>The excavations also identified a Principia, a Praetorium, a bath house and a granary. Inscriptions of the Legio II Augusta and the Legio VI Victrix were found on fragments of masonry and on a rooftile, respectively.</p><br>
<h2>Identification with Horrea Classis</h2><br>
<p>The Ravenna Cosmography, a Byzantine geographical text compiled in Ravenna during the eighth century AD, names a site called either "Horrea Classis" or "Poreo Classis", which seems to have been located in the east lowlands of Scotland.</p><br>
<p>"Poreo Classis" makes no obvious sense and so seems to represent a scribal error, although it might have been a latinised version of a pre-existing Britonnic place name which might better explain the modern name element "Pow". "Horrea Classis", however, may be translated from Latin as "Naval Storehouses".</p><br>
<p>Several commentators have postulated that the Carpow fort, with its maritime setting and large granary, was "Horrea Classis".</p><br>
<p>Silver Cascade Falls is a waterfall located on St. Marys Creek in the North Cheyenne Cañon Park of Colorado Springs, Colorado. Silver Cascade can be reached by hiking a short but steep trail up from North Cheyenne Canyon road at the Helen Hunt Falls trail head. The trail is less than half a mile, but steep in places and the footing can be slippery, especially when wet or when frozen over during the winter months. Care should be taken especially at the top of the falls, as the granite face of the falls is polished, slippery, and much steeper than it appears. The falls have an interesting spout feature about 50 feet below the crest due to an upturn in the rock face. During high flow times, the spout can shoot water over 10 feet off the rock face. The water running over Silver Cascade originates in Buffalo Canyon, passing over St. Marys Falls and Silver Cascade Falls before merging with North Cheyenne Creek down stream of Helen Hunt Falls.</p><br>

<p>The Sir William Glasgow Memorial is a heritage-listed statue of Sir William Glasgow in Post Office Square at 270 Queen Street, Brisbane CBD, City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It was designed by Daphne Mayo and built from 1961 to 1964. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 13 May 2004.</p><br>
<p>Set on a granite plinth, the statue is a naturalistic bronze figure of Sir William Glasgow, wearing the uniform of an officer of the Australian Light Horse and holding a pair of field glasses. The statue was one of the last commissioned works of sculptor Daphne Mayo. It was commissioned in 1961 and completed in 1964. It was dedicated in a ceremony on Remembrance Day (11 November) 1966 by Sir Arthur Fadden (Australian Prime Minister in 1941).</p><br>
<p>Originally, the statue stood on the Police Reserve at the corner of Ann Street and Roma Street, Brisbane on a sandstone plinth. In 1968, it was moved to a triangular reserve bounded by Albert Street, Roma Street and Turbot Street.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Sir William Glasgow Memorial was designed by Queensland sculptor Daphne Mayo and completed in 1964. It is in the form of a naturalistic bronze figure of Sir William, dressed in Australian Light Horse uniform and set on a granite plinth.</p><br>
<p>Thomas William Glasgow was born at Blackmount, near Tiaro, Queensland in 1876. He was educated at One Mile State School in Gympie and at Maryborough Grammar School. After leaving school he initially worked as a clerk in the office of a mining company, then as a bank clerk in Gympie. He joined the Wide Bay Regiment, Queensland Mounted Infantry, while still in his teens. In 1897 he was one of 20 chosen to represent Queensland at Queen Victoria&#39;s Diamond Jubilee celebrations in London. He served in the Boer War as a Lieutenant in the 1st Queensland Mounted Infantry Contingent, when he took part in the relief of Kimberley and the occupation of Bloemfontein. He was mentioned in despatches and awarded the Distinguished Service Order in 1901, an unusual distinction for someone of his rank.</p><br>
<p>After the war Glasgow returned to his hometown and took over the operation of his father&#39;s grocery store together with his brother, though he married in 1904 and purchased a cattle station in Central Queensland. In 1903, he had organised the 13th Light Horse Regiment at Gympie and was promoted to captain in 1906 and major in 1912. When war broke out in 1914 he was appointed to the Australian Imperial Force with the rank of major in the 2nd Light Horse Regiment, which embarked for Egypt in August 1914. Glasgow distinguished himself at Gallipoli and was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel. In 1916 he became Brigadier-General in command of the 13th Australian Infantry Brigade on the Western Front.</p><br>
<p>His most memorable battle was at Villers-Bretonneux on 25 April 1918. Two Australian Brigades, including Glasgows, had been given the task of recapturing this village, recently taken by the Germans and a key position. Glasgows plan of attack differed from that put forward by the high command, but his opinion prevailed and the action was a great success, later described as a turning point in the war. After this battle Glasgow was promoted to Major General and given command of the Australian 1st Division.</p><br>
<p>In 1919 William Glasgow returned to Australia and was knighted. He continued in the pastoral industry but entered Australian Parliament as a Senator in 1920 and served as Minister for Home Affairs and Minister for Defence. Between 1940 and 1945 he served as Australia&#39;s first High Commissioner to Canada.</p><br>
<p>Sir William died in Brisbane in 1955 and was given a State funeral. The Queensland Club set up a memorial fund and commissioned at statue by the important Australian sculptor, Daphne Mayo, in 1961.</p><br>
<p>Mayo studied in Brisbane under L J Harvey and was awarded the Wattle Day League travelling art fellowship in 1914. Although the outbreak of World War I delayed her taking up the fellowship, she travelled to London in 1918 at the war&#39;s end, and studied at the Royal Academy. There she won the Landseer Scholarship and the Edward Stott travelling scholarship to Rome. She returned to Brisbane in 1925 and began to exhibit her work in Brisbane and Sydney.</p><br>
<p>Daphne Mayo was most productive in the 1920s and 30s and she is probably best known for her allegorical work, The Progress of Civilization in the State of Queensland, on the tympanum of the Brisbane City Hall (1930) and the Womens War Memorial in Anzac Square, Brisbane (1929-30). She was awarded an MBE for her services to art in 1959 and became a Trustee of the Queensland Art Gallery. In 1964 her statue of Sir William Glasgow was completed and the work was dedicated on Anzac Day, 1966. It was Mayos last major commission and she died in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The statue was originally sited on the Police Reserve at the corner of Ann and Roma Streets, but was moved to its present site on a triangular reserve near the Roma Street tunnel in 1968. A modern plinth sheeted with granite has replaced the original sandstone plinth. In 2008, the statue was relocated to Post Office Square, facing ANZAC Square.</p><br>

<p>Lott Cary Birth Site, also known as the Lott Cary House, is a historic home located near Charles City, Charles City County, Virginia. The modest wooden frame plantation house was built in the late-18th century, and consists of a 1 1/2-story, three bay, original main house, extended by the later addition of one-story wings. Little of the original fabric remains.</p><br>
<p>There is a strong local oral tradition that the property was the birth site of Lott Cary (1780–1828), a slave held by planter John Bowry, who owned the house. After being hired out in Richmond, Virginia, Cary bought his freedom and that of his children. He had been promoted to supervise tobacco workers and also served as a shipping clerk. In the state capital he became a Baptist minister and lay physician, and learned to read and write. He emigrated to the new Colony of Liberia in Africa in 1821, where he helped develop it. He established the first church in Monrovia, and set up Christian schools for natives in the interior. He also served several months in 1828 as acting governor.</p><br>
<p>At the time of Carys birth in 1780, this house served as the residence of Carys master John Bowry, whose plantation comprised more than 600 acres. Cary was most likely born in slave quarters near the house, but no dependencies remain on the property.</p><br>
<p>This house and site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, in recognition of Cary&#39;s significance in American history.</p><br>
<p>Lake Dey Dey is one of many ephemeral salt lakes located in the eastern end of the Great Victoria Desert, in the Far North region of South Australia.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>It is normally dry, except during and after periods of heavy rainfall. It is part of the geological basin known as the Officer Basin. The larger Lake Maurice is to the south. Since 1985, Lake Dey Dey is part of the lands belonging to the Maralinga Tjarutja, a southern branch of the Pitjantjatjara.</p><br>
<p>The surface of the lake normally consists of dry clay, silt or sand, covered with a salty crust. The area around Lake Dey Dey is extremely arid, and groundwater contains high levels of salinity. The elevation of the surface above mean sea level is 208 m.</p><br>
<p>The lake is culturally important to the Maralinga Tjarutja people. Both Dey Dey and Lake Maurice have Tjukurpa (Dreaming stories) associated with them, and access to some parts of Dey Dey is restricted to initiated individuals. The major Tjukurpa associated with Lake Dey Dey relates to Wati Kulpirr, an ancestral spirit represented by the eastern grey kangaroo.</p><br>
<p>The Indulkana Range is a range of hills in the northwest of South Australia. It is sometimes called the Mount Chandler Range after its highest peak. It is located to the southwest of Indulkana, on the Aṉangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara lands. The mountains of the Indulkana area are part of the traditional country of the Yankunytjatjara and Antakarinya.</p><br>
<p>The range consists of a series of parallel ridges running east to west. The southern side of the range ends in an escarpment, the most prominent point of which is Chambers Bluff. The rock is primarily composed of quartzite and sandstone, resting on slate beds of kaolinised clay. At the eastern end of the range is Mount Chandler, which overlooks the settlement of Indulkana and the Indulkana Creek, and rises about 140 m from its base. It is composed of quartzite and sandstone. Slightly north of the escarpment, and following its path from east to west, is a series of gorges that split the hills and contain several reliable springs.</p><br>
<p>Dogham Farm, previously known as Doggams, is a historic home and farm located near Charles City, Charles City County, Virginia. In 1642, Joseph Royall patented 600 acres on the north side of the James River in Charles City County. The plantation he named "Doggams" later became known as "Dogham" in the 18th century. Following the death of Joseph Royall, his widow married Henry Isham. The property remains in the Royall and Isham lines today.</p><br>
<p>Dogham is representative of the simple houses that abounded in the Virginia Colonial period. The oldest part of the house is the central portion with entrance hall, dining room, upstairs bedroom, and basement below (former kitchen), each with a fireplace. The Royall family thought this portion was built in 1652. However, architectural historians from Colonial Williamsburg believe it was likely built after 1700. Additional expansions occurred in the early 1700s. Major restorations in the mid-19th century include many of the present architectural details. In 1941, the house was expanded, adding a kitchen wing, childrens dining room, 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and game and service rooms. The Charles Gillette-planned garden was also developed at this time. Situated between Malvern Hill and Berkeley Plantation, Dogham was inevitably involved in the Civil War. In 1862, USA General McClellan made his headquarters in a gunboat on the James River, several hundred yards from Doghams bluffs. Plowed fields frequently yield arrowheads, bullets, shell fragments, buttons and other artifacts.</p><br>
<p>The house is a rambling 1 1/2-story frame structure, roughly "L"-shaped in plan. Its oldest section is the center part of the east-west range and dates to the early-18th century. The original section is a typical Virginia vernacular three-bay I-house with three dormer windows on each side of a gable roof between exterior end chimneys. Also located on the property is a contributing farm complex with two cottages, a garage-shop, pheasant house all built in the 1940s and a chicken house, stable, and barn built in the 1930s. The property also includes a family cemetery and the remains of a brick manufactory that operated from the 1840s to the 1890s.</p><br>
<p>Today, Dogham Farm comprises 750 acres and is on the National Register of Historic Places, and Virginia Landmarks Register. As a Virginia Century Farm, Dogham is protected from future development by a conservation easement held by the Virginia Outdoors Foundation and the James River Association.</p><br>
<p>Dogham is now a private family residence not open to the public.</p><br>

<p>Originally part of William Byrd IIs expansive Westover Plantation and named for Byrds daughter, Evelyn, Evelynton has been home to the Ruffin family since 1847.</p><br>
<p>The family patriarch, Edmund Ruffin, is often credited with firing the first shot of the Civil War at Fort Sumter. His earlier agricultural contributions, from scientific soil testing to the publication of The Farmer&#39;s Register helped rescue l9th-century Virginia from a declining agricultural economy, and earned him the title "father of American agronomy."</p><br>
<p>Evelynton was the site of fierce Civil War skirmishes in 1862, when General George McClellan waged his destructive Peninsula Campaign; J.E.B. Stuart, Stonewall Jackson and John Pelham led the Southern offensive in the Battle of Evelynton Heights.</p><br>
<p>The original house and out-buildings were burned during that conflict, and the current residence was erected two generations later by Edmund Ruffin&#39;s great grandson, John Augustine Ruffin, Jr. and his wife Mary Ball Saunders.</p><br>
<p>Architect W. Duncan Lee, who completed a restoration of Carters Grove in Williamsburg, designed the Georgian Revival manor house in 1937. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Today, the 2,500-acre farm is still family owned and operated.</p><br>
