<p>An aid to George Washington, Col. Richard Kidder Meade (1746-1805), of the American Revolutionary War, after the war, bought a large tract of land in the valley of Virginia on the advice of George Washington. The small frontier cabin was included in the tract of land and Meade enlarged it by adding to the west end of the cabin about 1784, to be a temporary home until a larger home could be built (Lucky Hit). Bishop William Meade was born at Meadea and raised at Lucky Hit. Meadea is now a 1 1/2-story, three bay, log dwelling with a gable roof. It rests on a stone foundation and has an attached stone chimney. It is the only remaining 18th century log building in White Post. A descendent of Col. Meade now lives at Meadea.</p><br>

<p>Millwood Commercial Historic District is a national historic district located at Millwood, Clarke County, Virginia.</p><br>
<p>Millwood developed after the American Revolutionary War around the Burwell-Morgan Mill (1782-1785; listed in the NRHP since 1969), along Spout Run and one of the largest in the area. It is near several roads important in the colonial era, including Route 17 and Route 340. Col. Nathaniel Burwell (1750-1814), who owned over 5,000 acres in the agriculturally productive area constructed it with General Daniel Morgan (1736-1802) as his business partner. The mill had become derelict by the 1940s, when it was acquired by the Clarke County Historical Association, which restored it and operates it as a living history museum.</p><br>

<p>Fairfield is a Georgian-style plantation house built of native limestone around 1770 at the center of a 1,600-acre landholding. In addition to being the oldest building in the district, Fairfield was the home of Warner Washington (1715-1791), a first-cousin of George Washington, and is considered to be the best example in the district of the importation of a Tidewater plantation to the Shenandoah Valley.</p><br>
<p>Long Marsh Run, the creek for which the district was named, was first settled by the LaRue family in the 1740s. Today, four homes associated with the LaRue family survive. The first is Bloomfield, which was built by Jacob LaRue in 1775. A two-story, double-pile, coursed limestone structure, Bloomfield is the oldest Larue home still standing. Jacobs father, Isaac, built his home, Claremont, a short distance away in 1778. Claremont is a two-story, three-bay, coursed limestone, vernacular building very similar in form to Bloomfield. It may have replaced Isaacs original log cabin from the 1740s.</p><br>
<p>Jabez LaRue built his home, Villa LaRue, a few miles to the east of Bloomfield and Claremont in the 1790s. As a side-passage-plan dwelling, it is unique for its use of coursed limestone in the front and random rubble on the sides and back. Just to the south of Villa LaRue is Longmarsh, which was also built of stone around the same time as the others. The original two-story, two-bay section of this house is small and was supposedly an overseer&#39;s house for Villa LaRue.</p><br>

<p>The Stockmore Ranger Station, in Ashley National Forest in Duchesne County, Utah near Tabiona, was built in c.1914. It is located off State Route 35/US 40 about 40 miles northwest of Duchesne, Utah. It was a work of USA Forest Service architects. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places  in 1999; the listing included five contributing buildings and five non-contributing buildings and structures, built from c.1914 to 1985.</p><br>
<p>It is significant as a memento of the early days of the USA Forest Service, which had been established in 1905. The station established a Federal presence and its main building is one of the "earliest remaining structures on the Ashley National Forest built specifically by the Forest Service to house a ranger." It is named for the former town of Stockmore, about 1/4 mile to the east, which had been abandoned around 1906 after it was discovered that supposed gold strike in the area had been a fraud.</p><br>
<p>The Crowley School, at 301 Main St. in Crowley, Colorado, was built in 1914. Also known as the Crowley County Heritage Center, it is a Renaissance Revival style school building. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant for its architecture. Its NRHP nomination, written by the town&#39;s mayor, asserted:</p><br>
<p>The building is an unusual example of Second Renaissance Revival. This Renaissance Revival style is best identified by its horizontal divisions defined by belt or string courses and by the use of different treatments in each division, notably changes in the shapes, sizes, and surrounds of windows. Arched openings and projecting cornices with dentils are also characteristic of this style. The Crowley School possesses all these distinctive qualities. However, its unusual and elaborate cupola creates an interesting expression of the style. The Second Renaissance Revival was most common in Colorado between 1900 and 1930. The vernacular examples are generally less ornate and on a smaller scale. The Crowley School, its elaborate cupola notwithstanding, is indicative of that pattern. The school is also the only known example of the style in Crowley County.</p><br>
<p>And further the school is the oldest surviving public building in the county, the Crowley County Courthouse having not been built until 1915, and it having outlasted any earlier schools in the county.</p><br>
<p>It is now the Crowley County Heritage Center.</p><br>
<p>Mount Unapproachable is an isolated mountain on the northern side of Lake Neale, in the southwest of Australia&#39;s Northern Territory. It is about 505 m above sea level. The area is remote: the nearest towns are Kaltukatjara some 116 km away, Kintore some 135 km away and Yulara 138 km away. The mountain is mostly made of sandstone.</p><br>
<p>Unapproachable was named by the explorer Ernest Giles in 1872, whilst on an expedition across central Australia. He had just sighted and named Lake Amadeus, and could see the mountain rising to the west. He hoped to find water at the mountain, but was unable to approach it, as his path was blocked by the lake. Giles in fact over-estimated the size of Lake Amadeus and missed the bridge of land between Amadeus and Lake Neale.</p><br>
<p>In 1889, Giles second-in-command, William Tietkens, returned on his own expedition to survey the area. In his journal, Tietkens wrote that he first travelled to the Bloods Range, to the south of Lakes Amadeus and Neale. He named the highest peaks Mount Harris (for surveyor C. H. Harris) and Mount Carruthers. From the top of Mount Harris, he could see Kata Tjuṯa, the Petermann Ranges and the Tomkinson Ranges. Tietkens then travelled eastward for three days, and reached Lake Amadeus. At the western end of the lake and on the north shore, he described a sandstone range, which he named Longs Range after his brother-in-law. He climbed a nearby set of hills, and identified Mount Unapproachable as the westernmost peak of the Longs Range. He reported that his team reached Unapproachable around the middle of June and then spent several days travelling around the western edge of Lake Amadeus. He corrected Giles earlier mistake and successfully mapped the lake&#39;s western shore.</p><br>
<p>Another team of surveyors visited the area in 1926, led by Donald Mackay and Herbert Basedow. On 1 July, they climbed a hill that, after comparing his own observations with those of Giles and Tietkens, Basedow identified as both Mount Unapproachable and Mount Harris. Basedow concluded that this hill was the Mount Unapproachable that Giles had described, and that Tietkens had mistakenly renamed it Mount Harris. On modern maps, however, Mount Harris and Mount Carruthers are indeed the names given to two peaks in the Bloods Range.</p><br>
<p>Clifton is a historic home and farm located near Rixeyville, Culpeper County, Virginia.

<p>Farley, previously named Sans Souci, is a historic home located near Brandy Station, Culpeper County, Virginia. It was built before 1800, purchased from Robert Beverly in 1801 by William Champe Carter and renamed Farley in honour of his wife, Maria Byrd Farley. It is a two-story, frame dwelling, nine bays across with two bay projecting pavilions at either end and a single-bay pavilion in the center. The house measures 96 feet long and 46 feet deep.</p><br>
<p>The house was purchased in 1863 by wealthy distiller and Unionist Franklin P. Stearns, who also owned the Stearns Block in Richmond, Virginia and Tree Hill Plantation in Henrico County, Virginia. The same year, the house was used as headquarters for Union General John Sedgwick at the time of the Battle of Brandy Station.</p><br>
<p>Franklin Stearns gave it in 1870 to his son, Franklin Stearns Jr., as a present upon his marrying. They had nine children, including Franklin Stearns III, who operated the farm then continued the family&#39;s business. He married the daughter of prominent lawyer James W. Green (also the niece of West Virginia Supreme Court justice Thomas Claiborne Green as well as the head of the USA Fish Commission, Marshall McDonald) and had several children (including Franklin Stearns IV). Three of his sisters never married. One of them Emily Palmer Stearns became a prominent suffragette with Alice Paul in Washington, D.C. and later worked inspecting housing for war workers during World War II. She later retired to Farley, where she cared for many dogs and cats (pursuant to her vegetarian, no-kill philosophy) and became known as the "cat lady of Culpeper".</p><br>
<p>Farley was subsequently restored and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>Carpenter Mountain is a mountain located in Linn County, Oregon in the Willamette National Forest. It is part of the Cascade Range, and is one of the highest and easternmost peaks of the low-lying Western Cascades. A fire lookout on the summit was built in 1934 and has been recently reactivated for use. It marks the northernmost point in the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest.</p><br>
<h2>Route</h2><br>
<p>Due to its remoteness and rough road conditions, the summit is relatively inaccessible compared to most other area mountains with a maintained trail and is mostly hiked by researchers resident in the Experimental Forest or hikers familiar with the region. The trailhead is located on a Forest Service road near an overlook. The trail is approximately 1 mile long with an elevation gain of 1,000 feet. It is heavily used by ecology researchers, and temperature sensors and blazes for bushwhacked routes are visible from the trail. Although the route is short, reaching the summit requires a short rock scramble that is doable without any equipment.</p><br>
<h2>Summit</h2><br>
<p>There is a historic fire lookout which occupies much of the summit. The summit, a large basaltic block, is an ancient volcanic plug. From the lookout, there are views of the Three Sisters, Mount Washington, Three-Fingered Jack, Mount Jefferson and much of the central Oregon Cascades. On clear days, it is possible to see Mount Hood.</p><br>
<p>Wellington Lake is a lake situated in the Keelachiruvoi Village, Tittakudi taluk of the Cuddalore district in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. It is the second largest lake in Tamil Nadu after the Veeranam Lake, which also is situated in the Cuddalore district.</p><br>
<p>It is primarily a rain-fed lake, while its main tributary is the Vellar river that originates from the Shevaroy Hills. Smaller creeks that originate from the Nangoor Reserve forest and the Lakkur reserve Forest form the secondary tributaries.</p><br>
<p>The Wellington Lake also has about 27 ancillary lakes and together they form the primary source of irrigation for nearly 25,000 acres of land and over 67 villages dependent on it for cultivation.</p><br>
<p>The lake is also a noted trout fishery and home to a small-scale inland fishing industry.</p><br>
<p>The Cloverland Garage is a historic building in Cloverland, Washington. The building was built in 1902, shortly after Cloverland was platted, and originally served as a store and dance hall. The wood frame building has a vernacular design with a false front. While it continued to serve as a store, the building became Cloverlands post office in 1903 and its first telephone exchange in 1904. In 1918, Fred W. Walter converted the building to be Cloverlands first automobile garage. The new building served as an automobile repair shop, a filling station, and a Buick and GMC dealership. After 1928, Walter moved from his apartment above the garage to a farm, and the garage offered less frequent service.</p><br>
<p>The garage was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>Elmwood is a historic home located at Culpeper, Culpeper County, Virginia. It was built between 1870 and 1874, and is a three-story, double-pile brick dwelling in the Italianate style.

<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. In 2013, the boundaries of the listing were increased to include 5 acre of the surrounding farm and several contributing buildings. One of the buildings included is the Browning Store, a store, home and post office built circa 1773.</p><br>
<p>Pitts Theatre, also known as the State Theatre after 1970, is a historic movie theater located at Culpeper, Culpeper County, Virginia. It was built in 1937-1938, and is a concrete block structure faced in brick in the Art Deco style. The building consists of a symmetrical three-bay façade, with a central theater entrance flanked by storefront retail spaces. The façade features a stepped massing that recedes from the entrance and storefronts. The interior has a sophisticated circulation system, which enabled balcony patrons, which were initially African-American, and white patrons to enter the theater separately to separate spaces; the main balcony and auditorium, respectively. The theater closed in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The theater was reopened in May 2013 with a performance by Lyle Lovett, after renovation supported by federal and state historic tax credits. The newly renovated performing arts venues rebirth would be short lived, however. In an open letter to the Culpeper community on September 14, 2016, the State Theatre Foundations board of directors announced that it would be ceasing operations immediately and refunding any ticket holders for upcoming performances. The letter did not give any specifics as to what would eventually become of the downtown icon, only stating "...to diligently work to decide the best course of action for the facility..." The building again sits closed to the public, as it once had for nearly twenty years, on Culpeper&#39;s Main Street.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>

<p>The Old Court House is an 18th-century Grade II* listed The lease passed from Wren&#39;s son to his grandson. It was purchased from the Crown Estate in 1984.</p><br>
<p>King Henry VIII obtained the newly built Hampton Court Palace from Cardinal Wolsey in 1526. From that time onwards, all the property around Hampton Court also became the property of the Monarch and this included The Old Court House. It is the only house on Hampton Court Green, other than Hampton Court itself, to have a garden that stretches to the River Thames.</p><br>
<p>Wrens dining room is now used as a study. This beautifully proportioned room features wood panelling chosen by Wren and a fine marble fireplace similar to the one he installed for King William III in the Kings dining room in Hampton Court Palace. Beyond the reception hall, a flight of stone steps take you into the garden which leads right down to the Thames. In Wren’s day his most important visitors – normally royalty – would arrive by river, walk across the garden and up those steps to enter his house via the back door. This meant the garden had to be just as magnificent as the house. The building is accordingly surrounded by several different types of tree and copious bushes bursting with figs, walnuts, apples, crab apples, cherries, raspberries, mint and borage. The greenery extends all the way to the river bank while York stone terraces lead to a pea shingle path which is flanked by lawn. This path then leads to a pond and fountain that was built by Wren and which was listed before The Old Court House itself. Wren’s tool house is now a charming garden room from which to enjoy the garden in the summer.</p><br>
<p>History</p><br>
<p>King Henry VIII took the newly built Hampton Court Palace from Cardinal Wolsey in 1526. All the property around Hampton Court then belonged to the Monarch. (See "Hampton Court: The Story of a Village" by Gerald Heath.)</p><br>
<p>In 1669, Wren (1632-1723) was appointed as the Royal Surveyor by King Charles II. Previously, Inigo Jones and Sir John Denham held this post. The King had been impressed by Wren’s plans to reconstruct the City of London after the Great Fire of 1666. The Royal Surveyor, or Surveyor General, was like a modern Minister of Works. He ordered the King’s works at all of the palaces; Hampton Court, Greenwich, St James Palace and Windsor Castle. Wren held this post for 49 years until 1718, straddling 5 reigns: Charles II, James II, William III and Mary II, and Anne and George I, while at the same time building many city churches, including St Paul’s Cathedral.</p><br>
<p>At each Royal palace, the Surveyor General had lodgings. These at Hampton Court became the Old Court House Built in 1536. Wren’s biggest task at Hampton Court was the construction of the Eastern part of Hampton Court Palace (the square part) including the main East and South fronts, and Fountain Court. William and Mary had wanted to rebuild Hampton Court Palace entirely, but with the early death of Mary in 1694, King William lost heart. The project was only half done. Hampton Court was left as it remains today, half Tudor and half Wren.</p><br>
<p>Wren, already aged 76, was granted in 1708, a 50 year lease of The Old Court House by Queen Anne. This was partly in lieu of arrears of salary for building St Pauls Cathedral. He had been paid on a time basis. The authorities thought that, to be paid more, he had dragged his feet. See Parentalia p 343</p><br>
<p>“In an act of parliament in the ninth year of the reign of King William for the completing and adorning of the cathedral church of St Paul, London, a clause was inserted to suspend a moiety (i.e. half) of the surveyor’s salary until the said church should be finished; thereby the better to encourage to him to finish the same with the utmost diligence and expedition.</p><br>
<p>“It was at this time a common notion and misreport that the surveyor received a large annual salary for that building and consequently it was in his interest to prolong the finishing of the fabrick for the continuance of this supposed emolument. Which it would seem occasioned that clause...</p><br>
<p>“Upon the compleating of this great fabric (St Paul’s Cathedral in 1708) a clause passed in the act of parliament in the ninth year of the reign of Queen Anne declaring the church finished, to empower the commissioners to pay the surveyor the arrears of this moiety of his salary.”</p><br>
<p>NB: The bottom of page 344 says: “He then betook himself to country retirement.”</p><br>
<p>The word "retirement" here has its ancient meaning. It means withdraw or drawing back (not ceasing to be employed or moving house). Wren had already lived in the Old Court House since 1669, and since 1708 as long leaseholder.</p><br>
<p>The treasury minutes, page 26 1708 say:</p><br>
<p>“Her Majesty (Queen Anne) observes that when Sir Christopher dies his house will go to his executors and consequently the surveyor of the works who will have no house at the Hampton Court. Nevertheless in regard Sir Christopher has been an old servant to the Crown, the Queen will gratify him in his request.”</p><br>
<p>Stephen Wren in 1749 sold the rest of his grandfather’s 50 year crown lease.</p><br>
<p>Wren and subsequent owners and occupiers</p><br>
<p>In 1669 Wren was appointed as the Royal Surveyor by King Charles II. He ordered the Kings works at all of the palaces; Hampton Court, Greenwich, St James Palace and Windsor Castle. Wren held this post for 49 years until 1718 straddling 5 reigns; Charles II, James II, William III and Mary II, Anne and George I whilst at the same time building many city churches, including St Pauls Cathedral. At each palace the Royal Surveyor had lodgings. At Hampton Court these were The Old Court House.</p><br>
<p>Towards the end of World War I until 1921 The Old Court House was the temporary site of the Hampton Court Auxiliary Hospital which had been started by the British Red Cross and the Order of St. John to nurse wounded soldiers (see "The Story of Molesey Hospital" by Rowland G. M. Baker, published 1981).</p><br>

M. Baker, published 1981).</p><br>
<p>Subsequent lessees included Admiral Sir Alexander Montgomery, the Dowager Lady Clinton and General Sir Henry Wheatley.</p><br>
<p>Norman Lamplugh, a distinguished collector lived at the house from 1908 to 1938 (see 1 October 1938 Country Life). He was followed by the 2nd Earl of Ypres who was a water colour painter. He was the son of 1st World War Field Marshal Sir John French who became the 1st Earl of Ypres.</p><br>
<p>Later crown lessees (see the GLC paper by Mr Eden (B) and Gerald Heath’s book draft) included General Sir Henry Wheatley who probably brought the Greek motifs into the drawing room and the master bedroom: Admiral Sir Alexander Montgomery, the Dowager Lady Clinton, and James Fletcher. He was followed by the 2nd Earl of Ypres who was a watercolour painter. He was the son of 1st World War Field Marshall Sir John French who became the 1st Earl of Ypres.</p><br>
<p>In 1958, the form of tenure changed. In part exchange for an increase in the Queen’s civil list, many crown freeholds were passed from the property section of Buckingham Palace to Crown Estates. A 99 year crown estate lease began with Ronald Lee (at The Old Court House 1958-64). He was a well-known dealer in antiques, especially in clocks, in Bruton Street, London W1. His lease included permission to trade in antiques from The Old Court House. He hived off and sold the lease of the neighbouring Paper House which had been joined to the Old Court House since 1810. (Prior to 1810, The Old Court House had been called Paper House.)</p><br>
<p>In 1964, Ronald Lee sold the house to Stewart De Quincey Walker – the partner-in-crime of the notorious Dr Emil Savundra. Both were jailed for fraud in 1968.</p><br>
<p>Earlier in 1966, the house was sold reputedly for a suitcase full of bank notes to the late Julian Reynolds. He sold the remaining 89 year lease in 1968 to Toby Jessel, then one of the two Greater London Councillors for the London Borough of Richmond, in which Hampton Court Palace and The Old Court House are both situated (even though there is a Surrey postal address).</p><br>
<p>Toby Jessel was elected MP for Twickenham in 1970 and served for 27 years until 1997. In 1980, he married the actress and singer Eira Heath and he owned The Old Court House for over 45 years.</p><br>
<p>In 1984 The Crown Estates department sold the freeholds to many leaseholders of houses around Hampton Court, Greenwich, St James and Windsor including The Old Court House, the freehold to which was acquired by Mr Jessel. During his ownership of The Old Court House, Mr. Jessel entertained many people from the political establishment at The Old Court House, including Margaret Thatcher during the time that she was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.</p><br>
<p>The Old Court House – The Building</p><br>
<p>Tudor Times</p><br>
<p>The original Tudor building of Old Court House was built for the Surveyor general in 1536 (see Gerald Heath book). The Knight Frank and Rutley brochure of 1966 p4 mentions a carved stone surround of Tudor design behind the existing Charles II fireplace in the study (formerly the dining room), but we have not exposed this.</p><br>
<p>Some of the brick wall in the garden is probably Tudor, being "English bond" (pre 1689 when William of Orange who became William III introduced "Flemish Bond"). The cobbled part of Faraday yard behind has similar cobbles to Tudor cobbles both in the palace and in the Royal mews in Hampton Court road. There is a (possibly) Tudor beam in the cellar, previously the kitchen.</p><br>
<p>Early changes to The Old Court House</p><br>
<p>1660-68 – Gerald Heath’s paper pages (G) 1, 2, 3 shows works to the surveyors "lodgings" when the Royal Surveyor was Sir John Denham.</p><br>
<p>1669 – Wren became the Surveyor General, from 1670 repairs were made to the surveyors "house" (pages 3,4,5)</p><br>
<p>1706 – Wren referred to the "great decay" of the house, 1708 prior to Wren’s 50 year lease Savil Travers(?) reported it as "old and decayed and will be expensive to repair".</p><br>
<p>1708 – Wren’s lease of 50 years started (see pages 3, 4)</p><br>
<p>1709-10 – Wren undertook extensive renovations of The Old Court House in 1706. Wren altered the house a great deal- he built a virtually new house.</p><br>
<p>In 1708 Queen Anne granted him a 50-year lease on the property in lieu of overdue payments for his work on St Paul&#39;s Cathedral.</p><br>
<p>1723 – Death of Wren.</p><br>
<p>1730s or 1740s – The back (south) half of the house was added in the time of Christopher Wren junior. This includes the drawing room on the first floor, and 3 of the 5 bedrooms on the second floor, and the new dining room (previously the library) the back hall, and the kitchen on the ground floor.</p><br>
<p>In 1749 his grandson Stephen Wren sold the remainder of the lease.</p><br>
<p>Later changes to The Old Court House</p><br>
<p>1810-? – The master gardener’s house (now called Paper House) was joined to the Old Court House to make one house. They were finally separated in 1960 after Ronald Lee had, in 1958, bought a 99 year crown lease of the whole.</p><br>
<p>The effects of the 1810 to 1960 join include (i) a joint roof over the front; and (ii) the Old Court House cellar (the original kitchen) goes a little under Paper House. Neither has led to any problems between the two households.</p><br>
<p>1823 or later – The Greek motifs were put into the drawing room and what is now the master bedroom on the 1st floor probably by General Sir Henry Wheatley (era of Byron, and schools then taught Greek).</p><br>
<p>After 1858 the 2 drawing rooms were made into one. Lady Clinton put bow windows onto the front of the house.</p><br>
<p>Lamplugh (1908–38) installed works of art as set out in the Country Life article of 1 October 1938. He altered the back hall to put in two 16th century Venetian paintings into the ceiling and put up the carved door into the current dining room.</p><br>
<p>De Quincey Walker (1964–66) put polished oak stripped floors were put into the hall and study on the ground floor and into the drawing room and landing on the first floor; a pillared and marble double bathroom on the first floor adjoining the master bedroom.</p><br>
<p>In 1968-69 Toby Jessel:</p><br>
<p>Put new bathroom (the 4th bath in house) beside the Red room on top floor – space was taken from the Chinese room.</p><br>
<p>Constructed a steel beam over the dining room ceiling to support a heavy chandelier (Drawings available).</p><br>
<p>Turned the library into the dining room and turned the dining room into a study.</p><br>
<p>Closed the 2nd doorway from the main bedroom to the first floor landing to create a 2nd bedroom cupboard.</p><br>
<p>Closed the 2nd doorway from the front hall to the study to create an alcove for books (this had been accessed from the kitchen to what had previously been the dining room).</p><br>
<p>Removed dilapidated glass conservatory from balcony outside first floor drawing room. Put in new balustrades.</p><br>
<p>Changes to the outbuildings and garden 1930s –</p><br>
<p>Front garden: Lamplugh put in a wrought iron gate, previously a wooden gate (see old photos) which is still in situ today. Back garden: the early map marked "P" shows two gardens separated by a wall. The long thin one with parallel sides with access from the Thames, and the semi-trapezium shape to the West, presumably the kitchen garden. It is not known when the wall between was knocked down. Between the 1st and 2nd World Wars, what is now the Mitre Hotel’s river garden was hived off from the Old Court House to the Mitre. The curved path leading round into it can be traced. Lamplugh had a small museum between the Green and the Mitre Hotel – traces of a doorway in the wall are still visible by Wren’s pond.</p><br>
<p>In 1996 English Heritage marked Wren at the Old Court House with a blue plaque.</p><br>
<p>Morning Geyser is a fountain-type geyser located in the Fountain Paint Pots area of Lower Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. When active it is the largest geyser in the Fountain Paint Pots area, but in most years it is inactive.</p><br>
<h2>Eruption</h2><br>
<p>Morning Geyser plays from a pool just beyond that of more frequently active Fountain Geyser, as seen from the boardwalk trail through the Fountain Paint Pots. Morning&#39;s maximum height may reach 200 ft and just as wide, although most eruptions are smaller. Its duration is usually about 30 minutes, but durations of over one hour have been seen. Eruptions take the form of successive jets of water rather than a constant stream, many starting from a "blue bubble" resembling those observed at Fountain. Morning is sometimes observed to erupt simultaneously with Fountain, although most eruptions are independent.</p><br>
<p>The first recorded eruptions of Morning Geyser were in 1899, at which time it was called "New Fountain Geyser." Morning was comparatively active from 1991 through 1993 but then erupted only rarely until 2012. No eruptions have been recorded since October 2013.</p><br>
<p>A less powerful geyser known as "Mornings Thief" erupts from a vent adjacent to Mornings pool. Morning&#39;s Thief has erupted frequently during the last ten years, and has been thought to rob Morning of the energy necessary for an eruption.</p><br>
<p>The Labo Del Rio Bridge, over the Piedra River near Arboles, Colorado, was designed and built in 1913 by the Missouri Valley Bridge Company with steel by the Illinois Steel Company. It is a Pratt through truss bridge. It has also been known as Bridge over Piedra River. The bridge cost the state $3,395. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant as the oldest surviving roadway truss bridge over the Piedra River, as one of few surviving in the state built by the Missouri Valley Bridge Company, and as the oldest known through truss made for the State Highway Commission. It is a six-truss bridge with an interesting, transitional type of pin-/rivet- connection.</p><br>
<p>It first carried State Primary Road 15 in a crossing near Pagosa Springs; it was moved later to cross the Piedra River at its current location, on the Southern Ute Indian Reservation in the southern part of Archuleta County.</p><br>
<p>The Robinson-Bonnett Inn is a historic inn located on Whites Crossing Road in Bobtown, Illinois. The inn was built circa 1843 by the Robinson family, which ran a gristmill and sawmill in the area, and John Bonnett. The inn was designed in the Federal style and is typical of inns of its period. While the inn originally served travelers to the Robinson family&#39;s mills, by the 1850s it was located along and served travelers on a stagecoach line. John Bonnett became the sole owner of the inn in 1849; Bonnett ran the inn until 1880 and continued to live in the area until 1910, even after the other residents of the area relocated to Oakford. The inn is now the only surviving inn of its era in Menard County.</p><br>
<p>The inn was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 3, 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Iloilo Strait is a strait in the Philippines that separates the islands of Panay and Guimaras in the Visayas, and connects the Panay Gulf with the Guimaras Strait. It is the location of the Port of Iloilo, the third-busiest of the ports in the Philippines in number of ships. Iloilo City on Panay is the major city located on the strait with Buenavista and Jordan, both on Guimaras, immediately across the strait from the city. The Iloilo River empties into the strait.</p><br>
<p>Pumpboat ferries cross every few minutes from Iloilo City to Guimaras and vice versa. Ships doing business with the Port of Iloilo often moor in the strait.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Port of Iloilo was opened for international trade in 1855 and the coming of British Vice-consul Nicholas Loney, a year later, led to the fast development of the sugar industry in the region.</p><br>

<p>The Judge Robert S. Wilson House, also known as the Wilson-Wahr House, is a private house located at 126 North Division Street in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Robert S. Wilson was an attorney who moved from Allegheny County, New York, to Ann Arbor in 1835. He was Judge of the Washtenaw County Probate court for a year, and served in the Michigan House of Representatives. In approximately 1839, Wilson had this house built on a lot in Ann Arbor. He lived there until 1850, when he moved to Chicago</p><br>
<p>Welles is thought to have constructed the rear addition to the house, and made other extensive alterations. Henry Welles died in 1860, and the house passed to successive owners. After 20 years, they moved back into the main Wilson-Wahr House. The house passed on to the Wahr&#39;s daughter, Natalie Wahr Sallade, and the Sallades occupied the house until recently.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Robert S. Wilson House is a two-story Greek Revival structure constructed of brick with a stucco finish on a stone foundation. Nearly every survey of Michigan architecture has singled out the Wilson House as an outstanding specimen of Neoclassical architecture design.</p><br>
<p>The front facade boasts a full-width portico with Ionic fluted shaft columns, and an entryway framed by matching pilasters. Windows have external shutters. A two-story addition on the rear was likely constructed more recently than the main portion of the house.</p><br>
<p>Inside, the main section of the house is two parlors deep with a hall containing a stairwell to the side. The rear addition has a side entrance into another stair hall. All the major rooms in the house have fireplaces.</p><br>
<p>The United States Immigration Station is a government building located at 333 Mount Elliott Street in Detroit, Michigan. It is currently known as the Rosa Parks Federal Building, and houses the Detroit Field Office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1853, a section of land on the corner of Mt Elliott and Jefferson Avenues in Detroit was set aside for the purpose of constructing a Marine Hospital. The original hospital was completed in 1857, and sited 225 feet off Jefferson. The hospital opened the same year, with Zina Pitcher as the first physician in charge.</p><br>
<p>At some point, additional structures were built to support the hospital, including a building to house nurses on the corner of Mount Elliott and Jefferson. The hospital was eventually moved to a new building farther east, and the Detroit Border Patrol Station was installed in the nurse&#39;s quarters. A modern addition was constructed in the rear of the building in 1964.</p><br>
<p>In 2014, the building received extensive interior renovations and updates.</p><br>

<p>The Col. Matthew Rogers Building, also known as the Abraham Lincoln Long Nine Museum, is a historic building located at 200 S. Main St. in Athens, Illinois. The building was constructed circa 1832 by Colonel Matthew Rogers, who ran a store in the building. As Rogers was also postmaster of Athens, he moved the citys post office to his store. Abraham Lincoln, who was postmaster of New Salem at the time, frequently visited the post office during the 1830s to fetch mail. Josiah Francis purchased the store on a mortgage from Rogers in 1837. In the same year, Athens held a banquet in the building to honor Lincoln and eight other Illinois legislators for moving the state capital to Springfield; the nine men were known as the "Long Nine", as they were all over 6 ft tall. When Rogers sued Francis for failing to keep up with his mortgage payments in 1840, Lincoln again became involved with the store, as his firm represented Rogers in court; Rogers won the case by default. After Rogers died in 1848, the building continued to be used as a store. The building is now a museum documenting Lincoln and the Long Nines history and connection to the building.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 22, 2005.</p><br>
<p>The North Crimean Canal  is a land improvement canal for irrigation and watering of Kherson Oblast in southern Ukraine, and the Crimean Peninsula. The canal also has multiple branches throughout Kherson Oblast and the Crimean Peninsula.</p><br>
<p>The construction preparation started in 1957 soon after the transfer of Crimea of 1954. The main project works took place between 1961 and 1971 and had three stages. The construction was conducted by the Komosomol members sent by the Komsomol travel ticket (Komsomolskaya putyovka) as part of shock construction projects and accounted for some 10,000 "volunteer" workers.</p><br>
<h2>Overview</h2><br>
<p>The canal begins at the city of Tavriysk, where it draws from the Kakhovka Reservoir, and stretches out in a generally southeasterly direction, terminating at the small village of Zelnyi Yar (Lenine Raion); from there, a pipeline carries water to supply the city of Kerch at the eastern extreme of the Crimean Peninsula. Seven water reservoirs lie along the main canal, which is 402.6 km in length. Water flows by gravity from Tavriysk to Dzhankoy, where it is elevated by four pump stations to a height of over 100 m to energize its continued downstream flow. In Crimea, numerous smaller canals branch off the main channel, including the Razdolne rice canal, Azov rice canal, Krasnohvardiiske distribution canal, Uniting canal, and Saky canal; through these, water is also supplied to the city of Simferopol.</p><br>
<p>The idea to construct the canal was raised in the 19th century, particularly by the Russian-Finnish botanist Christian von Steven. But it was not until after World War II when the decision was finally adopted on September 21, 1950 by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the Government of the Soviet Union. The decision was to build the Kakhovka Hydro Electric Station, South Ukrainian and North Crimean canals. In 1951 the Soviet postal service released a commemorative post stamp where the North Crimean Canal was categorized as one of the Great Construction Projects of Communism.</p><br>
<p>After the Russian annexation of Crimea during the 2014 Crimean crisis, Ukrainian authorities greatly reduced the volume of water flowing into Crimea via the canal, citing a huge outstanding debt on water supplies owed by the peninsula. This caused the peninsula&#39;s agricultural harvest which is heavily dependent on irrigation to fail in 2014.</p><br>
<p>Crimean water sources are being connected to the North Crimean Canal to replace the former Ukrainian sources. The objective is to restore irrigation and urban supplies to the Kerch Peninsula and to smaller communities on the east coast of Crimea. In 2014, the reservoir was built to store water of the rivers of the Eastern Crimea near village Novoivanovka, Nyzhnohirskyi Raion. The North Crimean Canal is connected with The Novoivanovka reservoir.</p><br>

<p>The Garfield County Courthouse, at 8th and Main streets in Pomeroy, Washington, was built in 1901. It is of Late Victorian architecture, designed by Charles Burggraf and built by Spokane contractor August Isle. It was identified as "one of several elaborate county courthouses constructed in Washington around the turn of the century" when it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The courthouse was built in 1901 after the citizens of Garfield County authorized a $20,000 bond for the construction of a new courthouse to replace the 1887 wood-frame courthouse lost in the 1900 fire that destroyed much of the Pomeroy&#39;s commercial center. Albany, Oregon, architect Charles H. Burggraf was hired to design the new courthouse. After bids for the project were taken in March 1901, August Ilse of Spokane won the contract with a bid of $18,783. The specification called for brick and stone construction; the stone was quarried locally from the Valentine Ridge area near the Snake River. The brick was from a local kiln; the shakes were from the Blue Mountains.</p><br>
<p>The statue of Justice that caps the clock tower is only one of twenty statues nationwide where the justice figure is not blindfolded. According to the City Council minutes of August 2, 1904, authorization was given to install a clock in the clock tower. A Civil War statue, erected by the G.A.R., was placed in front of the courthouse in 1904 at the Fourth of July celebration. Due to deterioration, the statue was removed in the 1950s. In 2000, the VFW Post #2351 and the Garfield County Pioneer Society funded and dedicated the new bronze Civil War statue that rests on top of the original marble base that is engraved with the names of the county&#39;s veterans.</p><br>
<p>After the statue of Justice lost its left arm to a windstorm in 2006, an emergency grant from the Valerie Sivinski Washington Preserves Fund helped defray the cost of repairs.</p><br>
<p>A two-year, two-million dollar restoration project was completed in 2011. The work was supported through a one-million dollar matching grant from the Department of Archaeology & Historic Preservation’s Historic County Courthouse Rehabilitation Grant Program. The project, which was designed to structurally stabilize the building while preserving key architectural elements, saw the restaoration of existing windows and the addition of ADA-compliant features. The work also included the removal of earlier renovations deemed to be not in keeping with the building&#39;s historic character including the removal of drop ceilings in the courtroom and the re-opening of the courtroom gallery that had been closed off for use as a storage space. The facelift was one of two winners of the Valerie Sivinski Award for Outstanding Achievement in Historic Preservation Rehabilitation Projects in 2012.</p><br>
<p>The Petersburg Historic District is a historic district which includes most of Petersburg, Illinois. The district originally included 24 contributing buildings, the Oakland Cemetery, and a survey marker; the Smoot Hotel was later added to the district. The buildings in the district are a mixture of homes and commercial buildings. The earliest building in the district was built in 1826, while the latest were built in the 1890s. The Italianate style is the predominant architectural style in the district; other styles represented in the district include the Federal style in its early buildings, the Greek Revival style in buildings from the mid-1800s, and the Queen Anne style in buildings from the end of the century. Several of the sites in the district are associated with Abraham Lincoln; the survey marker marks the point where Lincoln began his survey of Petersburg, Ann Rutledge is buried in Oakland Cemetery, and residents of the other buildings included Lincolns tutor and a gunsmith who operated out of Lincolns New Salem store.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 17, 1976.</p><br>
<p>The Louis Round Wilson Library is a library at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Completed in 1929, it served as the universitys main library until 1984. Today, it houses several special collections. The dome rises 85 feet over the universitys South Quadrangle.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The library was constructed between 1927 and 1929 at the far end of the South Quadrangle at a time of rapid growth for the university. Twenty-three buildings were constructed on the UNC campus between 1920 and 1931. Architect Arthur Cleveland Nash, together with William Kendall of famed firm McKim, Mead, and White, designed the neo-classical building in the Breaux-arts style. The building follows the standard plan of Carnegie libraries across the United States. In 1923, the Carnegie Corporation reported having no objection to the university building a new library and converting the 1907 Carnegie-funded library to other uses. However, the university did not apply for library construction funds in 1924 for the new building. Wilson Library was named for Louis Round Wilson, the university&#39;s first librarian, in 1956. Prior to the renaming, the building had been referred to as "the library."</p><br>
<p>Wilson had campaigned for a new library building for most of the 1920s, wanting a building that would house enough books to make it a library of national distinction. Ten days after the building opened on October 19, 1929, the stock market crashed. State support for the university dropped, which meant that Wilson had to raise money for the library through private donations and foundation support. Some of the gifts donated during the Depression created some of the library&#39;s most notable collections.</p><br>
<p>The original building was 219 feet long and 140 feet deep. The first addition was added in 1952, with two more in 1976 and 1984. It served as the university&#39;s main library until 1984, when Davis Library opened. Today, Wilson Library mainly serves as a special collection library. Its North Carolina Collection is the largest about a single state in the United States.</p><br>

<p>Lake Calabay is a manmade dredged freshwater lake in the residential community of Hunters Creek, Florida, just inside the south border of Orange County, Florida. This lake was a somewhat swampy area prior to its construction about 1993. It was built as a feature for the Hunters Creek development. Three different gated neighborhoods were built around Lake Calabay. To the east and north is Calabay Cove, with 104 homes constructed from 1993 to 1998. On the west is Montara, with twenty-four homes built between 1994 and 1996. On the south is Ashton, with thirty-four homes built between 1996 and 1997.</p><br>
<p>Lake Calabay is of irregular shape, constructed that way so as many homes as possible could border the lake. In three places on the south and west the lake borders Hunter&#39;s Creek Boulevard. This roadway serves as a form of dam separating Lake Calabay from two bodies of water on the south and west sides of the lake.</p><br>
<p>There are no swimming areas or boat ramps on Lake Calabay, public or private, and no swimming or boating is allowed. This is a private lake, although the public could reach the shores at three points along Hunters Creek Boulevard. Also, Calabay Park is located on the east side of the Ashton neighborhood. It borders the lake, but is meant for the use of Hunters Creek residents and not the general public.</p><br>
<p>The Wisconsin Concrete Park is a sculpture park located along Wisconsin Highway 13 in the town of Worcester, Wisconsin. The park includes over 200 folk art sculptures built with concrete and decorated with glass bottles and other found objects. Fred Smith, who ran the Rock Garden Tavern on the property, began building the sculptures in 1948 after retiring from his career as a lumberjack. Smith, who lacked any formal artistic education, initially built two-dimensional bas relief plaques and eventually transitioned to constructing his larger sculptures. Smith continued building sculptures until 1964, when a stroke forced him to stop working. Smith claimed that the sculptures "came to naturally" and that "nobody knows why I made these sculptures, even me."</p><br>
<p>The sculptures primarily feature people engaging in everyday activities, such as farming, watching workers, and drinking beer. Animals are also frequently depicted, both in the wild and helping with farm work. Historic and legendary figures such as Ben-Hur, Paul Bunyan, and Abraham Lincoln are also depicted.</p><br>
<p>Smith was born in 1886 in Price County (the same county as his park) to German immigrants. Beginning in his early teens, he worked as a lumberjack. In 1903 he homesteaded the property where the concrete park stands today. In addition to woods-work, Fred raised ginseng and Christmas trees on his farm. When his first house burned in 1921, he had the current house built. The house is fairly standard Craftsman style, except for the "rock garden room," in which Smith constructed a 23-foot brick trough with running water, mica-flecked fish pond, crosscut saw blades, and rock garden. Some time between 1922 and the 1940s he added a rock garden outside, with raised beds in various shapes. In 1936, he and local stonemasons Albert and John Raskie built the Rock Garden Tavern, where he entertained visitors with tall tales and musical performances where he jumped from table to table with bells on his legs, playing a mandolin or fiddle. He began creating the concrete sculptures after retiring in 1948, and gradually transformed the outdoor rock garden into the concrete park, until his stroke in 1964.</p><br>
<p>After Smith&#39;s death in 1976, a storm damaged over 70% of the figures. The Kohler Foundation rehabilitated the park and donated it to Price County, and the land is now a county park. The restoration was carried out by sculptors Don Howlett and Sharron Quasius. The park was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 28, 2005.</p><br>
<p>Campanile Basso is a mountain in the Brenta group , a subgroup of the Rhaetian Alps in the Italian Region of Trentino-Alto Adige, with a height of . It is of a slender, almost fully vertical shape on all sides, rising 300 metres straight up. The mountain is named for its similarity in shape to a belltower  and it being low  compared to the neighboring Campanile Alto and Brenta Alta. The German alpinist Karl Schulz introduced in 1884 the name Guglia di Brenta , a name widely used until World War I and especially enduring in German literature, but considered inappropriate by locals and Italian climbers. Geologically, Campanile Basso is entirely formed of Triassic sedimentary rock, dense and compact dolomite. Due to its inaccessible appearance it was long left untouched during the alpine exploration of the Eastern Alps. Around the turn of the century a competitive race for the first ascent started, which took inspiration from the emerging nationalistic feelings in the region, as much as from the ascent of rock climbing as a sport. Most of the illustrious forebears of modern rock climbing climbed this mountain during the first half of the Twentieth century.</p><br>
<h2>Climbing history</h2><br>
<p>The first men to undertake an ascent were Carlo Garbari, Antonio Tavernaro and Nino Pooli, all from Trentino. They climbed on August 12, 1897 along the route that is now known as the Via Normale, scaling the so-called parete Pooli ("Pooli wall/face") and traversing over a horizontal ridge called Stradone Provinciale proceeding vertically on the west side towards a small pulpit now known as Albergo al Sole towards the tiny Terrazzino Garbari. From here there were only 35 meters remaining to the top, of which Pooli covered twelve, but then further progress was considered impossible. Garbari, who had threatened Pooli to "finish the climb or die", left behind a note saying "Who will reach this note? I wish them better luck!"</p><br>
<p>On August 16, 1899 two students from Innsbruck, Carl Berger and Otto Ampferer, followed the same route. They had been unaware of the attempt two years earlier, but found a climbing hammer, empty wine bottles, and finally Garbari&#39;s note. They failed to pass the same crux, but after taking a rest day came back and found a traverse towards the north face from where they could climb to the summit through what is now known as the parete Ampferer, gaining the first ascent of Campanile Basso on August 18, 1899. (Via Normale, III/IV)</p><br>
<p>Nino Pooli returned in 1904 to climb at last the part that he couldn&#39;t master in 1897 (Via Pooli-Trenti, V+, W wall, 35 m.).</p><br>
<p>The Via Normale was indeed a winding trajectory but remained the only existing route to the top until 1908. In that year a young German lawyer and his dashing American friend decided to climb this mountain from its very base where the big shoulder on its west side sticks out. Rudolf Fehrmann and Oliver Perry-Smith thus traced a completely new route along the south-west dihedral up to the top of the shoulder and from there connecting to the Via Normale (Via Fehrmann, IV+, SW dihedral, 350 m.). Paul Preuss came in 1911 and -after making the second ascent of the Fehrmann route- climbed in solitary a completely new and much more direct and elegant itinerary on the east face that goes straight up from the Stradone Provinciale (Via Preuss, E wall, 110 m., V/IV). King Albert of Belgium (le Roi Alpiniste) climbed Campanille Basso in 1933 by the Via Preuss, giving name to the Terrazzino Re dei Belgi. Giorgio Graffer traced two classical routes in 1933-&#39;34 on other sides of the mountain: (Spigolo Graffer (NE edge) - 110m - V (1933) and Via Graffer - SW edge - 380m - V+ (1934)).</p><br>
<p>During the next decades another number of classical climbing routes was opened:</p><br>
<p>Via Armani (N wall) - 200m - V/VI (1934),</p><br>
<p>Via Fedrizzi-Armani (S wall) - 260m - VI (1935),</p><br>
<p>Spigolo Fox (SE edge) - 110m - V+ (1937),</p><br>
<p>Via Cristina - NW edge - 380m - VI- (1947),</p><br>
<p>Via Rovereto - W - 380m - VI/A2 (1961),</p><br>
<p>Via Stenico-Navasa (S wall) - 380m - VI/A2 (1962),</p><br>
<p>Via Maestri-Claus (N wall) - 110m - VI/A1 (1965),</p><br>
<p>Via Schubert-Werner (SW edge) - 380m - VI (1968).</p><br>
<p>Every alpinist of note during the first half of the twentieth century made an ascent by one of these itineraries or the innumerable variants thereof. In 1940 the number of entries in the summit book had reached the magic number of thousand. By 1970 that number had been multiplied by five.</p><br>
<h2>Today</h2><br>
<p>Climbers find nowadays endless variations to climb to the top. That top consists of a roughly square plateau with a small platform on which a set of tubular bells is placed, along with a small crucifix and a summit book. Because the numbering of the entries in the book has become irregular since 1963 it is difficult to ascertain the exact number of ascents since 1899. The descent is done by double rope abseil, roughly along the lines of the Via Normale. For this purpose large ringed pitons are put in place with minimal intervals of 25 meters. In 1936 a via ferrata, the so-called Via delle Bocchette was traced along he foot of the mountain passing over the Bocchetta del Campanile Basso and the Bocchetta del Campanile Alto. This route is the best way to approach the mountain and/or to get an impression of Campanile Basso from close-by.</p><br>
<h2>Context</h2><br>
<p>Trentino was Welshtirol, part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1899. But the spirit of Irredentismo was firmly present among the local alpinists, who had founded their own Società deli Alpinisti Tridentini. Legend has it that Berger and Ampferer, during their first ascent of Campanile Basso had planted a small but Germanic flag on the top and that a few days later Nino Pooli and Riccardo Trenti climbed to the top again to replace that flag by a 10 meter wide yellow-bleu Alpinisti Tridentini flag.</p><br>
<p>The fate of its first climbers would have a sometimes strangely connected place in the turmoil of the two World Wars. Ampferer became an important geologist and member of the Austrian Scientific Academy while Berger fell on the front lines during the First World War in 1915. continued as an Alpine Guide and played a role in the First World War and the accession of Trentino to Italy. Perry Smith left Europe at the start of the First World War, while Fehrmann became a Nazi during the Second World War and died under dire circumstances in Soviet political detention. Paul Preuss died young in a fall on the Gosaukamm in 1913, two years after his exploits on Campanile Basso. The Nazis tried to eradicate the memory of Preuss, who was of Jewish descent, but he is now regarded as a hero and a founding father of free climbing. King Albert, hero of the First World War, died in 1934, a year after his ascent of the Via Preuss, also in a fall, at Marche-les-Dames. Giorgio Graffer was shot down in his fighter aircraft over Albania in 1940.</p><br>
<p>The Lewis and Clark Trail–Travois Road is a 5 acre historic site located 5 mi east of Pomeroy, Washington, on USA Route 12 . It is a surviving stretch of Indian travois trail followed by Lewis and Clark in their 1805–06 expedition and mentioned in their writings. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<p>The site is significant for the 1805–06 event, for including "a trail that was very important in aboriginal times", and for its information potential.</p><br>
<p>Travois were used by American Indians to transport possessions by means of two long poles slung with a hammock trailing behind a horse or dog. The deep, parallel tracks caused by the dragging poles are still visible today in a quarter-mile (0.4 km) section of the original trail, sometimes called the Nez Perce Trail, followed by the Lewis and Clark Expedition and preserved at this site.</p><br>
<p>Nottingham Exchange was built in the Market Place in Nottingham between 1724 and 1726 as the main offices of the Nottingham Corporation.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Nottingham Exchange was erected between 1724 and 1726 replacing a shambles of buildings on the same site. It cost £2,400 (£ in 2015) and comprised a four-storey, eleven bay frontage 123 ft long. The architect was the mayor, Marmaduke Pennell. The corporation offices moved here from Nottingham Guild Hall.</p><br>
<p>A clock was presented for the Exchange by 1728 by the famous clock builder James Woolley of Codnor, and in return he was made a Burgess of Nottingham.</p><br>
<p>The building was reconstructed between 1814 and 1815 at a cost of £14,000 (£ in 2015). This moved the main staircase from the front to the side, and gave better access to the Great Hall which was 75 ft by 30 ft. The Great Hall was used for concerts, elections, balls, meetings and exhibitions.</p><br>
<p>In 1830, John Whitehurst and Son of Derby provided a new clock for the Exchange at a cost of £100 (£ in 2015). (The old clock was acquired by St Nicholas&#39; Church, Nottingham and the dial from this clock is still in situ on the church tower.)</p><br>
<p>On 19 September 1836 a new dial was added to the clock by Shepperley for £46 (£ in 2015) and this was illuminated by a gas jet. On 26 November 1836 a fire broke out and considerable damage was caused to the building.</p><br>
<p>The Midland Railway adopted London Time at all of its stations on 1 January 1846. To avoid confusion, in February 1846 the town council ordered that the town clocks be furnished with three hands, two indicating local time and the additional one the railway and post-office London time.</p><br>
<p>A new clock was built in 1881 by G. & F. Cope and moved to St Helen&#39;s Church, Trowell in 1927.</p><br>
<p>The Exchange was demolished in 1926 to make way for the current Nottingham Council House which occupies the same site.</p><br>
<h2>Nottingham Time Ball</h2><br>
<p>In 1876 a Greenwich time ball apparatus was fixed to the Smithy-row corner of the parapet of the Nottingham Exchange. It started operation on 11 September 1876. and was installed by the Corporation to indicate Greenwich Mean Time to assist with the regulation of public clocks. Operated by electrical control, the ball dropped from top to bottom of a short staff at 1pm each day.</p><br>
<p>It was removed in 1886. Its use was probably discontinued because the installation had lost both its novelty and usefulness through the more general availability of Greenwich time, and the greater accuracy of public clocks.</p><br>
<p>Nottingham Guild Hall was built on Weekday Cross in Nottingham. Originally a hall for the merchant Guilds, it became the Court House and Town Hall of the Nottingham Corporation.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>When the merchants established a Guild to regulate trade they erected a Guild Hall on Weekday Cross. This building became the Court House and Town Hall when the borough had its own mayor and aldermen.</p><br>
<p>In 1726 Nottingham Corporation built a new town hall in the Market Place which became known as the Nottingham Exchange. The old town hall on Weekday Cross continued to be used alongside the Exchange and was refaced in brick in 1744. The building was raised several feet higher, and a new clock was provided by local clockmaker, John Wyld.</p><br>
<p>The Guildhall was abandoned in 1877 with the opening of the new Nottingham Guildhall, and the old town hall was demolished in 1895 when the Great Central Railway built a tunnel with the portal just underneath Weekday Cross. The courts moved to a newly built Nottingham Guildhall on Burton Street. The clock was sold to Alderman Perry who installed it in his Boulevard Works on Radford Boulevard. It was still being serviced by Cope&#39;s of Nottingham in the late 1970s.</p><br>
<p>This site is now occupied by the Nottingham Contemporary gallery.</p><br>
<p>Bhoga Nandeeshwara Temple   is a Hindu temple located in Nandi village, at the base of Nandi Hills  in the Chikkaballapur district of Karnataka state, India. It is dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The original temple in the complex, identified as one of the oldest temples of Karnataka, dates back to the early 9th century. The earliest inscriptions referring to the construction of the temple for Shiva, according to the Archaeological Survey of India, are from Nolamba dynasty ruler Nolambadiraja and the Rashtrakuta emperor Govinda III dated c.806, and copper plates of the Bana rulers Jayateja and Dattiya of about c.810. The temple was later under the patronage of successive notable South Indian dynasties: the Ganga Dynasty, the Chola dynasty, the Hoysala Empire and the Vijayanagara Empire. In the post medieval era, the local chiefs of Chikaballapura and the rulers of the Mysore Kingdom (Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan) controlled the region before it eventually came under British rule after the death of Tipu Sultan in c.1799. The architectural style is Dravidian. The temple is located at a distance of 60 km from Bangalore. The temple is protected as a monument of national importance by the Archaeological Survey of India.</p><br>
<h2>Structure</h2><br>
<p>The temple complex has two large shrines: the "Arunachaleswara" shrine to the south built by the Gangas of Talakad, and the "Bhoga Nandeeshwara" shrine to the north built by the Cholas. It has the sculpture of a king considered to be that of Rajendra Chola. In between there is a small intervening shrine called with "Uma-Maheshwara" shrine with a kalyana mantapa ("marriage alter") supported by ornate pillars in black stone with reliefs depicting of the Hindu gods Shiva and his consort Parvati, Brahma (the creator) and Saraswathi, Vishnu (the preserver) and his consort Lakshmi, the god of fire Agni and his consort Swaha Devi, and decorative creepers and birds in bas-relief. This is typical to Hoysala architecture.</p><br>
<p>According to the art historian George Michell, the temple is a typical 9th-10th century Nolamba construction with pilasters on the outer walls of the shrines, perforated decorative stone windows which contain figures, of a dancing Shiva (south wall of the Arunachaleshwara shrine) and Durga standing on a buffalo head (north wall of Bhoga Nandeshwara shrine). Pyramidal and tiered towers (shikhara) rise from the two major shrines. Each major shrine has a large linga in the sanctum (the universal symbol of the god Shiva) with a sculpture of Nandi (the bull) in a pavilion facing the shrine.</p><br>
<p>The "Arunachaleswara" and the "Bhoga Nandeeshwara" forms of Shiva represent, according to Hindu legend, two stages in the life of the god Shiva: childhood and youth. The "Uma-Maheshwara" shrine has reliefs depicting the third stage, Shiva&#39;s marriage to the goddess Parvati. Hence this shrine is popular with newly weds who come to seek blessing. The Yoga Nandeeshwara temple on top of Nandi hills represents the final "renunciation" stage in the life of Shiva and hence this temple is devoid of any festivities. The large shrines each have a sanctum (garbhagriha), a vestibule (sukanasi) and a closed hall (navaranga or mantapa). The vestibule and hall are provided with perforated stone screens called Jali. Each shrine has a nandi mantapa in front (hall with the sculptured image of Nandi the bull) facing the sanctum. The outer bounding wall (prakara) of the complex has two minor shrines for Devi, the female form of divinity ("divine core of all Hindu goddesses"). To the north of the shrines is a second compound with a navaranga mantapa (pavilion) with Yali pillars. Beyond this compound is a large stepped temple tank (kalyani or pushkarni), locally called "Sringeri Teertha" (the mythical source of the Pinakini river) where lamps are lit on certain festive days.</p><br>
<p>The Clayton Public Schools Historic District is a 7 acre historic district consisting of four blocks in southeast Clayton, New Mexico, centered on 6th and Cedar Sts. Also known as Clayton Public Schools-Campus No. 1, its oldest buildings were built in 1935. It includes work designed by Willard C. Kruger and other New Mexico architects in Mission/Spanish Revival style and built by the Works Progress Administration. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996; the listing included seven contributing buildings, four contributing structure and four other contributing sites.</p><br>
<p>Kruger, who served as "State Architect" of New Mexico for one year, also led the states FERA group of architects. In the project termed "perhaps the most remarkable concentration of WPA-funded school buildings", Krugers group "designed an entire four-block junior and senior high school complex for the town of Clayton". The project eventually included a high school, a junior high school, agricultural and manual arts buildings, a gymnasium/auditorium, a football stadium, and more facilities. The project was embraced by Raymond Huff, schools superintendent, who also found ways to use Works Project Administration funding for related arts and services projects. For Union County, hard-hit by Dust Bowl storms, the project was important and provided work at one point or another for 6,000 out of the 10,000 population.</p><br>
<p>The B.F. Goodrich Company Showroom is a B.F. Goodrich Company showroom located at 1925 S. Michigan Ave. in Chicago&#39;s Motor Row District. The showroom was built in 1911 to sell B.F. Goodrich tires and distribute them to other Chicago retailers. Christian Albert Eckstorm, a Chicago architect who designed many of the Motor Row showrooms, designed the building. The Second Empire building features a mansard roof with a terra cotta balustrade, three dormers with terra cotta frames, a partial cornice, and large second-story windows with arched lintels. Like most Motor Row buildings, its architectural ornaments are primarily located near the top of the building. B.F. Goodrich used the showroom until 1929.</p><br>
<p>The showroom was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 28, 2009.</p><br>
<p>The Lakeside Press Building is a historic commercial building located at 731 S. Plymouth Ct. in downtown Chicago, Illinois. The building served as a showroom, office, and printing press for the Lakeside Press. The building was built in two stages; the southern half was completed in 1897, while the northern half was finished in 1901. Architect Howard Van Doren Shaw designed the building, his first design of a commercial building. Shaw&#39;s design features limestone quoins, piers, and decorations, curtain walls with cast iron spandrels on the floors housing the printing presses, and a projecting cornice.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 23, 1976.</p><br>
<p>The building is now used as student housing for Columbia College Chicago and is not open for tours or visitors.</p><br>
<p>The Municipal Courts Building, also known as the Lake View Building, is a skyscraper located at 116 S. Michigan Avenue in Chicago, Illinois. The building was built from 1906 to 1907 to serve as a temporary home for Chicago&#39;s Municipal Court. Jacob L. Kesner built the building, which was originally 12 stories tall, on a strip of land only 40 ft wide; Kesner was one of the few property owners willing to grant the Municipal Court a short-term lease. The building was completed later than planned, had less square footage than promised, and charged a higher rent than a competing offer from a warehouse, prompting Mayor Edward Dunne to conduct an ethics investigation into the approval of the building contract. The court only used the building until 1911; after it moved out, Kesner added another five stories to the building.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 29, 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Edgar Rock Lodge is a rustic house in Yakima County, Washington. The house was used as a way station on the road over Chinook Pass to Bumping Lake. It was built by prospector Dick Darlington around 1904, who named the house after a nearby rock formation. When construction of Bumping Lake Dam started in 1901, Darlington worked as a cook on the dam project, and the lodge was used as one of several way stations for supplies that were brought to the remote dam site on horse and wagon. When the road was paved in 1916 the lodge continued to serve as a stopping point for travelers.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Edgar Rock Lodge is a unique example for vertical log construction, using 10 in diameter logs set on end on a sill plate over a stone foundation. The 1-1/2 story house measures about n40 ft by 22 ft. The house is rectangular, with a porch the full length of the main elevation, covered by a shed roof extension. The logs extend halfway up the second floor, to the bottom of the attic windows. A single dormer is set in the center of the front roof elevation. The roof is asphalt roll roofing, seamed vertically along the slope of the roof rather than shingled along its length. The porch has square posts, but the railings are logs. The log walls are exposed on the interior, with sand and cement chinking. The interior features a stone fireplace, but is otherwise plain. A nearby root cellar is included in the complex.</p><br>
<p>The Edgar Rock Lodge was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 1, 1996.</p><br>
