<p>Manassas Industrial School for Colored Youth, also known as the Jennie Dean Memorial Site, is the site of a former school for African-American children located at Manassas, Virginia. The site is named for Jennie Dean, a charismatic ex-slave who believed in the value of vocational education for African-American youth of both sexes.</p><br>
<p>Dean and other African Americans (with assistance of sympathetic whites) established the school in 1893, and it operated as a private residential institution until it was taken over in 1938 by a regional public school system after the Virginia Supreme Court eventually interpreted the 1902 state constitutions free public education requirement (through litigation sponsored by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People as mandating public schools for African American children. Then, for about two decades beginning in 1938, the Manassas Industrial School formally became the only school for higher education of African American students in five northern Virginia counties (Prince William, Fairfax, Arlington, Loudoun and Fauquier). After World War II, northern Virginias population increased and the NAACP vehemently disagreed with requiring segregated schools, and began litigating against segregated schools. This resulted in multiple court decisions against such in the 1950s, including Brown v. Board of Education and a companion case from Virginia which led to Massive Resistance. The Manassas Industrial School closed in 1959, as Massive Resistance finally collapsed and the segregated facility was no longer needed.</p><br>
<p>The Manassas Industrial School buildings were demolished, and new elementary school with ball fields and park facilities constructed nearby. A series of historic markers was erected on the property, and the site landscaped.</p><br>

<p>The Lake Edouard, Quebec is a lake in Canada, in province of Quebec, in the municipality of Lac-Edouard in the administrative region of Mauricie. The entire area of this lake is located in the municipality of Lac-Edouard.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>This lake is the head of the valley of the Batiscanie, Quebec. This lake has the distinction of having two emissaries: Batiscan River and Jeannotte River. The main tributary of the lake is the Rats River whose headwater lake is Rats Lake; the river flows north-east before turning south to empty into the Rats Bay, located in the western part of the lake. The lake has several other bays, such as Power, the Bouquet, Great Bay, Steamboat, Round and Gull Rock.</p><br>
<p>Lake Edward has several islands including the three largest that are located southwest of Lake: Hoffman Island, the island Turner and Ziegfeld.</p><br>
<p>Ecological Reserve Judith de Brésoles is situated on the east side of the lake, around the "Lac Mauvais" (lake Wrong). The Zec Besonne is located in the southern part of the lake, close to the Zec Jeannotte.</p><br>
<p>The village of Lac-Edouard, Quebec is located in the northeast of the lake, near the mouth that flows into a series of lake forming head to the Batiscan.</p><br>
<h2>Toponymy</h2><br>
<p>Its name is in use since 1828 by the surveyor Joseph Bouchette and would come from Edward Jeannotte, a trapper living in Batiscan, a parish at the mouth of Batiscan River. The lake&#39;s name is also attested in Montagnais language as "Etoolsakigan", which also means "Lac Edouard".</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The forestry industry was very important around Lac Edouard, since the arrival of the train in the 1890. The loggers were active on the lake to transport timber to the sawmill with pulling boats with cables surrounding floating logs. In 1901, a terrible forest fire destroy the forest around the lake and forced the lay-off for 1000 workers of the Lac-Edouard sawmill.</p><br>
<p>St Mary the Virgin is a church located in the town of Pembroke in Pembrokeshire, west Wales. The church is in the Diocese of St David&#39;s within the Church in Wales, and members of the Anglican Communion. Since 2004, it has been a part of the Monkton Rectorial Benefice.</p><br>
<h2>History and description</h2><br>
<p>The present day church dates back to the 13th century, although it is speculated that there might have existed an earlier church of St Mary. The building is constructed from stone, with a slate roof. Two original windows remain in the south wall of the building, the remainder are 19th century replacements.</p><br>
<p>The tower located to the north east of the building dates from the middle of the 14th century, and presently contains a ring of eight bells. The original bells were installed in 1763, two were added in 1765 and a further two added in 1897.</p><br>
<p>The font at the church dates back to late Norman times. A local legend suggests that the future King Henry VII, born at nearby Pembroke Castle was baptised at the church, however no evidence of this event exists.</p><br>
<p>The modern entrance to the church is through a porch on the west side of the building, erected in 1926, accessed from the corner of Northgate Street and Main Street. The historical entrance was through the south side of the church, this doorway now leads to the choir vestry.</p><br>
<p>The church had fallen into a state of disrepair towards the end of the 19th century and closed in 1875. Four years later, major renovation work was carried out under the supervision of John Loughborough Pearson before the church reopened. The current pulpit was donated to the church a year later. The church was Grade I listed in 1951, being of exceptional architectural and historical interest. In addition, the north, east and west walls of the churchyard and the walls from the north of the churchyard to Barnard&#39;s Tower were Grade II listed in 1981, and the gates at the south-west entrance along with the railings to the south and west sides of the churchyard were Grade II listed in 2005.</p><br>
<p>Malören  is an island in the Kalix archipelago of northern Sweden. It lies to the southwest of Sandskär, but is not part of the Haparanda Archipelago National Park. Malören has the shape of an atoll, with sandbanks around an inland sea. It came into existence about 1,500 years ago when the area began to rise by 85 cm per century. Since 1997, the island has been a nature reserve, encompassing 181 hectare. On the island is a chapel, built in 1769, and a lighthouse, built in 1851.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The island attracted fishermen in the 1600s and 1700s, especially from the Finnish side of the nearby border.</p><br>
<p>Malören became a pilot station in 1827. In 1851, a 17.5 m tall lighthouse was built, the first to be designed by Gustaf von Heidenstam. A somewhat smaller lighthouse was built in 1891 to save manpower; however, this newer tower was closed down in about 1910 and the older one again placed in service, now with a gas-powered light; the keepers were withdrawn at the same time and pilots took over their maintenance. When telephone service arrived in 1932, the pilot station was combined with that on another island, Erikören, and Malören no longer had a pilot living there year-round. In 1958, the lighthouse was replaced with a Dalén light.</p><br>
<p>The first dock was not constructed on the island until 1929. To assist with launching the pilot boat when the wind was in a difficult direction, there used to be rails from the north to the south side of the island; the boat was pulled on a trolley to where it could more conveniently be launched. A concrete harbour was built over four years in the 1950s but had to be abandoned in 1967 because of erosion. The harbour can be accessed at its easterly breakwater in a calm sea by boats with a draft up to 2 m, although this can change due to the ongoing deposition of sediment on the sea floor. Other parts of the harbour are completely filled with rocks and sand that have been brought in with the tide. Line markers fixed with lights on the outer leading line fitted with white light provide the navigation guide to boats. The inner line is fitted with red lights and the harbor is sheltered from southerly gales. When very strong southerly/south-westerly winds are blowing, the harbor approach is difficult. The old Swedish “Domänverket” wooden jetty, now known as “Sveaskog”, was rebuilt in the middle of the 1970s.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Malören Island is situated in the Gulf of Bothnia, situated approximately 30 km from the coast of Sweden. Kalix is away towards the coast. The horseshoe-shaped island is about 3 km in length. The lie of the land is flat with a submarine gully recorded, extending approximately 20 km in a northwesterly direction. The island was declared a nature reserve in 1997 and titled “Nature 2000” covering an area of 185 hectare.</p><br>
<h2>Landmarks</h2><br>
<p>Two important landmarks on the island are the Malören Lighthouse and the chapel. The island also has a labyrinth, a wreck and debris of a navigation marker dated to 1725.</p><br>
<p>The existing Malören Lighthouse was established in 1851 and re-activated between 1891 and 1910. Its octagonal shaped, wood-shingled tower is tapered and measures 17 m in height. It is fitted with a lantern and gallery with a focal plane height of 22 m. The light flashes twice every 12 seconds in white-red-green. While the tower is painted red, the lantern dome is white. The lighthouse is under the jurisdiction of the Swedish National Property Board.</p><br>
<p>As a result of economic progress of the island due to fishing operations, a church was established here at the orders of the magistrate of Torneå town. The octagonal wooden chapel was initially known as Prince Karl&#39;s fishing church. It was erected in 1768 and was later given a shingled roof; this was a popular church style around Bothnian Bay at the time. Because of its tall spire, the church also functioned as a navigational marker for seafaring vessels. Still functional, Sunday services are held there during the summer.</p><br>
<h2>Wildlife</h2><br>
<p>Since 1997, Malören has been a nature reserve covering 182 hectares (450 acres). Vegetation on the rock-strewn island is reported to be gradually increasing. Mountain ash are taking root and there are plenty of sea peas, tufted vetch and fireweed. Rarer species include sleepy primrose and southern adderstongue. The island is even more interesting for birdlife, located as it is at the south end of the archipelago. It is used both as a resting place and for nesting. Arctic terns abound but there are also black-legged kittiwakes, Arctic skuas, large and small plovers, ruddy turnstones and redshanks as well as many of species of gull.</p><br>
<p>The Felt Mansion is a house located at 66th Street and 128th Avenue, in Laketown Township, Michigan near Saugatuck, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Dorr Felt was born in 1862 near Beloit, Wisconsin. At eighteen, he moved to Chicago, becoming a foreman at a rolling mill. In 1885, he hit upon the idea of constructing a calculating machine to aid the shop&#39;s accountants. He eventually developed and patented his machine, and in 1889 opened a factory. His company was successful, and Felt also served in a number of prominent positions in government and business groups. Felt married Agnes McNulty in 1891 and the couple had four daughters. The Felts first visited the Saugatuck area in the early 1900s as a tourist, and fell in love with the area. Starting in 1919, they began acquiring land in the area, and in 1926 purchased the lots where this house now stands. At the time, the Felts lived in a modest farmhouse on the site, which has since been demolished.</p><br>
<p>In 1927, the Felts hired the Grand Rapids architectural firm of Frank P. Allen & Son to design this summer house. In August 1928, Agnes Felt suddenly died at the estate. Dorr Felt remarried the next year, but his new wife preferred living in Chicago to the summer estate. Dorr Felt died in August 1930. The mansion was left to his children, who kept it until 1949, when it was sold to the Chicago Province of the Augustinian Order of the Catholic Church.</p><br>
<p>The Felt Mansion became the St. Augustine Catholic Seminary preparatory school in 1949. The Mansion served as a chapel and housed priests and students. In 1962 the Augustinians leased the Mansion to Dominican cloistered nuns. In 1963 the Order of Saint Augustine constructed a Seminary on the Felt Estate. This preparatory school contained a chapel and housing for priests as well as students in grades 9-12.</p><br>
<p>In 1977 the Felt Estate was purchased by the State of Michigan. The State of Michigan used the Felt Mansion as a state police post and converted the school building into the Saugatuck Dunes Correctional Facility.</p><br>
<p>The prison was closed in 1991. In 1995 the state sold 44 acres of the Estate, including the Mansion and prison building, to Laketown Township for $1, stipulating that the mansion be preserved and that it be owned and operated by the public. The Friends of the Felt Estate formed in 2002 and began restoration of the house and grounds. The property is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Felt Mansion is a three-story, gable-roof, rectangular plan brick mansion. It is constructed of steel beams with a concrete and wire mesh lath, and sits on a concrete foundation. The roof is made of concrete slabs supported by steel trusses, and is covered with slate tiles. The main body of the house is six bays wide, flanked by slightly recessed four-bay wide wings. Exterior walls are clad in yellow brick, with prominent decorative limestone window sills, keystones, and panels between the first-floor and second-floor windows. The front entry is covered with a limestone portico. A variety of windows are used through the house, with one-over-one, double-hung windows on the main body, round-arch windows on the first floor of the wings, and three-part wooden casement windows on the second story.</p><br>
<p>The interior has a central hall with rooms symmetrically arranged around it. The northern portion of the house contained the dining room with a kitchen and pantry, a small library, and a sun porch. The south portion had a large solarium in the front of the house and a living room in the rear. A central staircase leads to the second floor, the south side held family rooms, including a master suite with a bedroom, an anteroom with a walk-in cedar closet, a sun porch, and a tiled bathroom. Additional bedrooms for children and guests take up most of the remaining space, and the north side had sleeping quarters for servants. The third floor contained a ballroom.</p><br>
<h2>Legend</h2><br>
<p>According to legend, the mansion is a place where melon heads lived.</p><br>
<p>Araluen Creek, a partly perennial stream of the Moruya River catchment, is located in the Southern Tablelands and South Coast regions of New South Wales, Australia.</p><br>
<h2>Course and features</h2><br>
<p>Araluen Creek rises near Gillian Park, about 4 km east of the village of Majors Creek, on the eastern slopes of the Great Dividing Range. The river flows generally south southeast, joined by three minor tributaries before reaching its confluence with the Deua River in remote country south of the Monga National Park. The river descends 637 m over its 24 km course.</p><br>
<p>The village of Araluen lies in the valley of Araluen Creek, that joins the Deua River at roughly the midpoint in its course. The name Araluen means water lily or place of the water lilies in the local Aboriginal dialect. At the time of European settlement Araluen was described as a broad alluvial valley with many natural billabongs covered with water lilies. Unfortunately, no such billabongs exist in the Araluen valley today. As with most river and creek valleys in south-eastern Australia, the natural landscape of Araluen Creek and its valley were completely destroyed by rampant and extremely destructive gold mining in the latter half of the 19th century. This has mobilised thousands of tons of coarse granitic sands and lead to serious sand-slugging or sand siltation of the lower half of the Deua River below the Araluen Creek confluence. Nevertheless, the Deua River supports valuable populations of the threatened Australian grayling and several other native freshwater fish species.</p><br>
<p>Sincholagua is an inactive volcano located in Ecuador 17 km northeast of Cotopaxi Volcano and 45 km southeast of Quito. It is the 12th highest peak in the country at 4,899 m but also one of the lesser known ones. The name of the mountain comes from the indigenous language Quichua and means "strong above". Due to its close proximity to Cotopaxi, the second highest peak in Ecuador and the most popular volcano, it is far less frequently visited compared to other mountains in the country. It has a sharp peak and at one point had glacial cover year round, but all of the glaciers melted a few decades ago. However, snow can still be seen on the peak since there is there is sometimes heavy snowfall at the summit.</p><br>
<h2>Climbing Sincholagua</h2><br>
<p>Sincholagua is one or the least frequently climbed mountains in Ecuador because it is difficult to access and less well known compared to other mountains and volcanoes in the country. There is also a long hike to access it compared to other volcanoes like Pichincha and Cotopaxi, making it more difficult to get to. Sincholagua is best known for views of the surrounding mountains such as Cotopaxi and Antisana as well as the Western Cordillera and the Amazon rainforest. The climb is of moderate difficulty and takes an estimated three hours and thirty minutes to reach the summit from base camp with ideal weather conditions. The Northwest ridge is the normal route up the mountain and was used by the first climbers. People who want to climb it usually come in from the south through Cotopaxi National Park to reach the volcano. It can also be accessed from Quito.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first person to reach the summit of Sincholagua was Edward Whymper in 1880. He is best known for being the first to ascend Matterhorn mountain in Switzerland. Sincholagua lost all permanent glaciers on its peak decades ago, but before that had a glacier cover about 1.5 kilometers long. A river that runs around and on the mountain, the Río Pita, widened due to the last major eruption in 1877. When Whymper climbed Sincholagua, the Río Pita was 200 feet wide and 3 feet deep, and in 1892, after the eruption it was 1,100 feet wide and 50 feet deep at its widest and deepest. Currently it is considered a stream.</p><br>
<h3>Air crash</h3><br>
<p>On 3 May, 1995 a private Gulfstream II aircraft operated by American Jet, inbound from Buenos Aires via La Paz, selected the wrong VOR frequency during a nighttime approach to Quitos Mariscal Sucre Airport; the jet flew 12 mi further south than it should have, striking Sincholagua at 16,000 ft. All seven occupants were killed. The flight was carrying an important number of oil executives from Argentina and Chile to a meeting in Quito. Amongst those killed was Argentine YPFs CEO and president José Estenssoro, who had led privatization efforts under Carlos Menem; Juan Pedrals Gili, the Spanish-born general manager of Chilean ENAP as well as Manfred Hecht Mittersteiner, chief of production at ENAP&#39;s international subsidiary Sipetrol.</p><br>
<p>Adelaide Mansions is a residential building on the seafront in Hove, part of the city of Brighton and Hove in East Sussex, England. The "handsome block", decorated with ornate details, was erected in 1873 to the design of local architect Thomas Lainson. English Heritage has listed the building at Grade II for its architectural and historical importance.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Adelaide Mansions is located at the junction of St Johns Road and Kingsway in Hove. Kingsway is the seafront road in this part of Hove; renamed several times, it took its present name in February 1910 to commemorate King Edward VII (1841-1910). St Johns Road leads northwards from the seafront to Palmeira Square and St John the Baptists Church, from which it took its name in 1907 (previously it was called Palmeira Mews Road). Adelaide Crescent, an architectural set-piece dating from the mid-19th century, lies to the east; both the crescent and the mansions were named after Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen (1792–1849); landowner and developer Isaac Lyon Goldsmid (1778–1859) asked King William IV (1765–1837) for permission to use his queens name.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Prolific Brighton-based architect Thomas Lainson (1825–1898) designed the block in 1873 on land that was part of the Wick estate—a large area of agricultural land between the growing town of Brighton and the village of Hove. This land was owned by Isaac Lyon Goldsmid by the 1830s, and he set about developing it with high-class housing. His Adelaide Crescent scheme, intended to be a rival to Brightons Kemp Town development, was built between the 1830s and 1860s. Financial problems and the spectacular destruction of the crescents principal feature, the Anthaeum indoor garden and conservatory, delayed the scheme&#39;s progress. The builder was Jabez Reynolds senior who built about 1,000 houses in Brighton and Hove including other landmark and listed buildings such as Palmeira Mansions, Medina Terrace and the workhouse on Elm Grove, now Brighton General Hospital.</p><br>
<p>Until 1918, the building was in residential use. In that year numbers 3 and 4 were turned into the Lawns Hotel, a luxury hotel "noted for its quiet comfort and excellent cuisine". Rates were four guineas per week at first. By the 1970s its character had changed from a conventional hotel to more of a long-stay residence: there were 47 bedrooms, over half of which were occupied by (mostly elderly) residents. Its fortunes declined in the 1980s: the building suffered £100,000 of damage in the Great Storm of 1987, and months later a faulty heating system caused fumes to escape and led to the closure of part of the hotel. In 1990 the Zipadeedoodah Bar and First Avenue Restaurant were established on the ground floor, but by 2001 all had closed down and numbers 3 and 4 were converted back into flats.</p><br>
<p>Adelaide Mansions was listed at Grade II by English Heritage on 2 November 1992.As of February 2001, it was one of 1,124 Grade II-listed buildings and structures, and 1,218 listed buildings of all grades, in the city of Brighton and Hove.</p><br>
<h2>Notable residents</h2><br>
<p>Hilton Philipson (1892-1941), National Liberal Party Member of Parliament for Berwick-upon-Tweed in 1922, lived at 1 Adelaide Mansions in 1903.</p><br>
<p>Vere Fane Benett-Stanford, Conservative Member of Parliament for Shaftesbury from 1873 to 1880.</p><br>
<p>Woolf Barnato (1895-1948), financier and racing driver.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>It has a terrace of four-storey, three-bay houses with Classical touches such as Doric-columned porches. There are ground-floor sash windows and iron balconies, and a parapet with a balustrade runs along the top of the building.</p><br>
<p>The Chaîne de lÉpine, in the department of Savoie in southeast France, is a 20 km long ridge of the Jura Mountains that runs north&ndash;south along the east side of the Lac dAiguebelette, from the Col de l&#39;Épine west of Chambéry as far as the western edge of the Chartreuse Mountains, near the commune of Les Échelles. To the north, the ridge becomes the Mont du Chat ridge along the western shore of the Lac du Bourget. At the southern end, the ridge terminates at the Guiers River.</p><br>
<h2>Etymology</h2><br>
<p>There are two explanations for the origin of the name "Chaîne de lÉpine". One traces "lÉpine" as a reference to a thorn from Christs crown of thorns that Guillaume de Montbel brought back with him on his return from the Seventh Crusade in 1254. Montbel built the Château de lÉpine on the ridge above Nances and placed the holy thorn relic in the castles chapel. In time, the chapel became such an important pilgrimage site that the name "lÉpine" was given to the whole mountain. The second explanation sees the Celtic god Pen as the source for both the name of the Chaîne de l&#39;Épine ridge and the commune of Lépin-le-Lac to its west.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<h3>Topography</h3><br>
<p>The Chaîne de lÉpine and the Mont du Chat separate the Lac du Bourget (to the east and north) from the Lac dAiguebelette (to the west and south). The highest point is Mont Grelle at an elevation of 1,425 m. Another notable peak is 1,232 m Gratte-Cul at the northern end of Mont Grelle.</p><br>
<h3>Geology</h3><br>
<p>The Chaîne de lÉpine is an anticline, part of the "upper ridge" geological structure of the Jura Mountains. Situated between two Miocene molasse basins, the ridge is chiefly composed of limestones from the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. The western escarpment, between the Col de lÉpine and the Col de Saint-Michel, is composed of limestones from the Kimmeridgian and Oxfordian formations, with scree at the base. The portion south of the Col de Saint-Michel consists mainly of scree with a Jurassic limestone ridge. The east escarpment, is composed of Valanginian marls and marbles, with scree and Cretaceous limestone at the base.</p><br>
<p>South of the Col de Saint-Michel pass, a change in the strike-slip fault deflects the ridge line to run northeast&ndash;southwest. Another slip fault crosses the ridge perpendicularly at the northern tip of the peak Gratte-Cul. The fold extends across the Guiers river at Entre-deux-Guiers to join the Mont Tournier anticline and form the Grand-Ratz plateau above Voreppe, forming the southern terminus of the Jura Mountains.</p><br>
<h3>Passes and tunnels</h3><br>
<p>There are three principal passes across the ridge. A paved road (D916) runs over the 987 m Col de lÉpine. The two other passes, the 915 m Col du Crucifix and the 903 m Col Saint-Michel, overlook the Lac dAiguebelette and are crossed by hiking trails. Some of these trails follow the routes of earlier Roman roads.</p><br>
<p>The Voie Sarde skirts the southern end of the ridge, near Saint-Christophe, northeast of Les Échelles. The Voie Sarde or Sardinian Way was originally part of the Roman Via Agrippa road network. In 1670 the road was rebuilt by Charles Emmanuel II, Duke of Savoy with the aim of connecting his western landholdings in Savoie to Turin, capital of the Duchy of Savoy. In 1720, following the acquisition of Sardinia in the 1718 Treaty of London, the duchy officially became the Kingdom of Sardinia, leading the road to become known colloquially as the Voie Sarde.</p><br>
<p>A century later, Napoleon judged this narrow route to be an impediment to his military campaigns. After 13 years of construction (1804&ndash;17), the Tunnel de la Grotte bypassed the Voie Sarde route. The tunnel was nearly 1,000 ft long and 25 ft wide and high, sufficient for two laden wagons to pass. The English artist J. M. W. Turner sketched views of both the Voie Sarde and the new tunnel in 1819. The modern-day Route nationale 6 uses this tunnel to cross the southern end of the Chaîne de l&#39;Épine ridge.</p><br>
<p>There are tunnels through the main bulk of the ridge in two places, both named Tunnel de lÉpine. The A43 autoroute runs through a pair of parallel tunnels under the Col de lÉpine. The northern tunnel is 3,182 m long and was completed in 1974; the southern tunnel is 3,157 m long and was completed in 1991. This is the 14th-longest road tunnel crossing in France. About 5 km to the south is a single-track tunnel completed in 1884 for the Saint-André-le-Gaz&ndash;Chambéry railway line. This 3,076 m tunnel begins east of the station of Aiguebelette-le-Lac and runs under the ridge, south of the Col Saint-Michel, to emerge just west of the now-closed Saint-Cassin-la-Cascade station, in the valley of the Hyères river, a left tributary of the Rhône.</p><br>
<h2>Tour de France</h2><br>
<p>The Col de l&#39;Épine is a popular route for cyclists. The pass formed part of the route for the Tour de France in 1947, 1965 and 1968 when it was classed at a Category 2 climb. The winners of these three climbs were:</p><br>
<p>1947:</p><br>
<p>1965:</p><br>
<p>1968:</p><br>
<p>Although the 2013 Tour de France included a section over the Col de l&#39;Épine as part of Stage 19, this was a different pass of the same name, northeast of Faverges.</p><br>

<p>The Royal Laundry Complex is a historic laundry plant located at 443 S. Raymond Avenue in Pasadena, California. The sites main plant was constructed in 1927 for the Royal Laundry Company, a laundry service founded in 1910. Gordon Kaufmann, a prominent architect who also designed the Hoover Dam and several buildings at the California Institute of Technology, designed the plant. Kaufmans Spanish Colonial Revival design for the plant signified a shift in his style to include modern elements, which ultimately came to dominate his work. The plant&#39;s south annex, a Streamline Moderne building topped by a pylon, was added to the complex around 1930. An additional building providing drive-up service was constructed in 1939, an adaptation to the rise of the automobile; this building was topped by an overhead sign advertising the business in 1955. The laundry complex, which is located in an industrial neighborhood of Pasadena, has been described as one of the most architecturally significant industrial buildings in the city.</p><br>
<p>The complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 27, 2007.</p><br>
<p>The complex is currently the company headquarters of the Disney Store. The interior of the headquarters was designed by Clive Wilkinson Architects.</p><br>
<p>The Bekins Storage Co. Roof Sign is a rooftop sign in Pasadena, California, which originally advertised the Bekins Storage Company. The sign was erected in 1926 and converted to a neon sign in 1929. Located 60 ft above the ground at the top of the Bekins Storage Company building, the sign was designed to attract the attention of drivers of Fair Oaks Avenue, which was part of USA Route 66 from 1926 until 1940. The sign is now the only surviving large rooftop sign from before World War II in Pasadena, and one of few remaining signs of any type from the period. Similar signs are now banned by Pasadena law, though signs from before 1960 are exempted and listed on a city register. The sign was later renovated to promote the A. American Storage Co. and now advertises Public Storage.</p><br>
<p>The sign was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1997.</p><br>

<p>Kellon Kraaseli  is an island in the Finnish sector of the Bay of Bothnia.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Kellon Kraaseli is located off shore from the village of the Kello district in Oulu.</p><br>
<p>The name is derived from the Swedish word gråsäl, meaning "gray seals".</p><br>
<p>Kellon Kraaseli is a low island, with its highest point only a few meters above sea level. The coastline has a total length of about 10 km.</p><br>
<p>The island is almost entirely covered by deciduous vegetation.</p><br>
<p>It has extensive riparian areas that are covered during high tide.</p><br>
<p>The island is used only for summer cottages and harbor protection.</p><br>
<p>Kellon Kraaseli was used for common pasturage for cows and sheep until the start of the 1980s.</p><br>
<p>Today the island is separated from Rapakari island towards the mainland by an artificial channel built as a recreational waterway with a nominal depth of 1.8 m.</p><br>
<p>The sea area north of the island is known as Kellonlahti, and the sea area to the east off the coast of Pateniemi is called the Kuivasmeri.</p><br>
<p>This stretch of water is fairly sheltered, and is used as a common anchorage for fishing boats during stormy weather.</p><br>
<p>Null Island is a fictional island in the Gulf of Guinea added to the Natural Earth public domain map dataset, located where the equator crosses the prime meridian, at coordinates {{coord|0|N|0|E|type:isle}}. Natural Earth describes the entity as a "1 meter square island" with "scale rank 100, indicating it should never be shown in mapping." The name &#39;Null&#39; refers to the two 0 co-ordinates, both of which are sometimes known as null in mathematics .</p><br>
<p>Although intended humorously, the fiction has a serious purpose and is used by mapping systems to trap errors.</p><br>
<p>In reality, a weather observation buoy, part of the PIRATA system, is moored at the supposed location of the island. The depth at this place is around 4,940 m.</p><br>
<p>Kahvankari is a small uninhabited island in the Finnish sector of the Bay of Bothnia offshore from the city of Oulu.</p><br>

<p>The Austin H. and Frankie A. Dwight Summer House, also known as the Bay Pointe Restaurant, was a building constructed as a private summer home, located on Gun Lake at 11456 Marsh Road in Shelbyville, Michigan. It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1982</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1885, Charles and Elizabeth Morrell bought property on Gun Lake previously used for farming. They turned it into a resort, which they eventually sold to Edmund Noble. In 1899, Noble sold the property to Austin H. Dwight and his wife Frankie. Between 1901 and 1902, the Dwights constructed this summer home on the property. The Dwights normally lived in this house for six months out of the year until their deaths in 1924 (Frankie) and 1926 (Austin).</p><br>
<p>After their deaths, the house remained vacant for years, until 1978, when Roy and Jackie Martin purchased house and surrounding property and renovated the structure. In 1983, the Martins opened the Bay Pointe Restaurant in the Dwight Summer House. The property changed ownership, and in 2004 the structure was demolished and a new Bay Pointe Inn erected at the site.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Dwight summer residence was a 2-1/2-story wood frame Colonial Revival structure with a mix of gambrel and hip roof sections. It was clad with cobblestones on the first floor with wooden shingling above. It had a massive fieldstone chimney, a large bay window, and an enclosed porch. The house was significant both for its architecture and or the use of advanced engineering techniques, where timber trusses with iron tie rods were used to house a large public space in the first floor.</p><br>

<p>Acorn Corner, historically known as the Franklin Hotel, is a six-story historic building in Kent, Ohio, United States, listed on the National Register of Historic Places since January 2013. Construction started in 1919 and the hotel opened in September 1920. The hotel was also known as the Hotel Kent and later the Hotel Kent-Ellis. Locally it is often referred to as the "old Kent hotel", "Kent Hotel", or the "old hotel". The building functioned as a hotel until the early 1970s when it was converted for use as student housing. The upper four floors were condemned in 1979, though the bottom floors housed a number of small businesses until 2000.</p><br>
<p>After several years of total vacancy and nearly being demolished multiple times in the 2000s, the building was purchased in late 2011 by local developer Ron Burbick and renamed Acorn Corner to compliment his adjacent Acorn Alley development. Work also began on a complete $6.5 million renovation and restoration of the building, which included construction of a new elevator shaft. The renovated building, hailed as a "Kent miracle", opened in April 2013 and had a grand opening in May. Its anchor tenant is Buffalo Wild Wings, and also includes a wine bar, offices, and apartments.</p><br>
<p>The structure, designed by architect H.L. Stevens, is an example of the Neoclassical Revival style. It includes five above-ground levels and a partially exposed basement. It was nominated under National Register Criteria A and B, due to its connections with significant events and developments in local history and important people in the history of Kent.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The movement to build a new hotel in Kent was started in the early 20th century and was initiated and carried out by the Kent Board of Trade, now known as the Kent Chamber of Commerce. While the village had two places of lodging, neither was very large. The previous hotel, the Revere Hotel, closed in 1899, and business leaders felt a larger, modern hotel was needed to meet the demands of growing industries, railroad travelers, and the emerging Kent State Normal College. The idea was that of Dudley Mason, the owner of Mason Tire and Rubber in Kent. The drive to fund the hotel through the selling of stock began March 24, 1919. During this time, the Board of Trade also sponsored a naming contest in the local Kent Courier newspaper, where the "Franklin Hotel" name ultimately came from, named after the previous name for Kent, Franklin Mills.</p><br>
<p>The first mortgage was bonded in August 1919 and the following month, the architect was chosen, and the Barnett property at the southwest corner of East Main and South DePeyster Streets was selected as the site. The old Barnett home was razed and excavation work started by September 11, 1919 with walls starting to rise by December 18. The hotel opened for tours to stockholders and their families on September 8 and 11, 1920, with a public opening September 12, 1920.</p><br>
<p>Despite good opening reviews, the Franklin Hotel struggled financially for most of its existence, changing owners and managers every few years. By 1934, it had been auctioned twice and many investors had lost all of their investments. Florence B. Adams of Kent Hotel Incorporated bought the building in 1934 and renovated it, re-opening in 1937 as the Hotel Kent. From 1937 into the mid 1950s, It was managed by Russell OConke and enjoyed what is regarded as its heyday. The hotel was stable financially and was marketed as "Ohios Most Modern Hotel" and "Ohio&#39;s Finest Small Town Hotel".</p><br>
<p>Notable guests who stayed at the hotel during this period included Guy Lombardo, Amelia Earhart, and Glenn Miller. Eliot Ness frequented the hotel&#39;s bar in the 1940s and Kent native Martin L. Davey, who served as Governor of Ohio in the 1930s, had an office in the building.</p><br>
<p>In 1956, however, a new motel along what is now State Route 59 just east of the city limits opened, known as the Eastwood Motor Inn. It featured endorsement from AAA and other modern amenities like ample parking and air conditioning, which the Hotel Kent lacked. Other factors such as the decline in railroad travel and the emergence of the automobile led to a decrease in the need for regional hotels. In 1962, the hotel came under the management of Frank Ellis and was renamed Hotel Kent-Ellis. Financial fortunes continued to decline as two more modern motels opened in Kent: the nearby Motor Inn (later known as the Inn of Kent) in 1964 and the eight-story University Inn along South Water Street in 1970. In the 1970s, with the building in decline and the hotel operations no longer profitable, it was sold to Joseph Bujack and converted to student housing, known as the Towne House. Damage from a number of fires in the 1970s and the deteriorated state of the building led the city to condemn the upper floors in January 1979. Those floors remained vacant until 2013. The lower floors continued to be used until 2000 for a variety of small businesses such as a pizza shop, cafe, and nightclubs.</p><br>
<h3>Decline</h3><br>
<p>Following complaints about roof damage in early 1999, the city inspected the building and found that while the building itself was structurally sound, several areas of the brick facade were loose and posed a danger to pedestrians. City inspectors also found a number of health, fire, and building codes and filed for an injunction to close the entire structure. An agreement was reached in October 1999 to make repairs, though only a few minor repairs were carried out on the brick facade, roof, and windows to prevent more pigeons from entering the upper floors. In March 2000, the remaining businesses in the building closed and the city set an April 1 deadline for Bujack to decide if he was going to renovate or raze the building. Although Bujack eventually decided to demolish the building, no work was ever started.</p><br>
<p>In March 2002, Bujack was given a court order to raze the building by March 31 or face a fine of $1,000 per day it remained standing after that. Bujack offered to give the building to Family and Community Services of Portage County, who had plans to renovate the building for apartments and retail. The plan called for the city of Kent to take temporary possession of the building, but fell through when city leaders decided the liability involved in taking ownership was too high. Other groups expressed interest in the building or the site including proposals to renovate it for use as a hotel, gradual renovation for offices and retail, and demolishing it and building a new store on the site, though none of the plans ever progressed beyond planning stages.</p><br>
<p>The old hotel was acquired in 2004 by Greg Vilk, a former tenant who had operated the last three businesses in the building. Vilk had sued previous owner Joseph Bujack for breach of his lease agreement and took ownership of it as part of the settlement. At the time of the transfer, Bujack owed over $308,000 in fines on the building. Vilk and his ownership group Kent LLC had plans to redevelop the building, but none of them ever materialized.</p><br>
<p>In 2007, he was given a court order to make several repairs for health and safety issues. Repairs made included cleaning of the brick facade and re-grouting the bricks in several locations, removal of several windows, and painting the rear outer wall. Inside, most of the building was gutted to help make it more presentable to potential developers. During the interior work, however, concerns were raised over whether the renovation would jeopardize efforts to obtain any federal or state preservation grants. As a result, no further renovation work was carried out, and while it was reported a development group was interested in buying the building, no changes in ownership occurred. As the building continued to deteriorate, it was described as an "eyesore" and "decrepit" along with being a safety and health hazard with several calls for its demolition.</p><br>
<h3>Redevelopment</h3><br>
<p>Kent City Council again approached the idea of foreclosing on the building and tearing it down in 2006. While the demolition measure was defeated, council did authorize the city to attempt to foreclose on the property. Disagreements between Vilk and the city continued for several years over the payment of the fines and liens on the building, the lack of any visible redevelopment efforts, and the increasing dilapidated state of the structure with Vilk maintaining that the city had promised to remove the liens. A 2007 court ruling ended any additional liens from being issued on the property, but did not remove the liens already in existence of $425,000.</p><br>
<p>In 2008, Vilk sued the city for $25,000 and the removal of the fines and in 2009, a judge ruled that the city had no authority to collect on the liens, instead ruling that the liens were under the jurisdiction of Portage County. Later in 2009, courts ruled that neither the city nor the county had any liens on the property, but the contempt of court fines still stood. Vilk contended that the fines were levied on the previous owner and were dormant. A settlement was reached in 2011 and the city bought the building for $735,000 before selling it to Ron Burbick a few days later for $400,000.</p><br>
<p>Prior to his purchase of the old hotel, Burbick had personally funded the Phoenix Project, which renovated and expanded two neighboring downtown buildings and tore down the house that was immediately adjacent to the west of old hotel, replacing it with a retail area known as "Acorn Alley". Acorn Alley quickly became a popular destination after opening in late 2009 and the office and retail space in the rest of the development was in high demand. The new development put increased exposure on the dilapidated state of the old hotel, which stood in contrast to the buildings around it. The Phoenix Project also helped spur additional development in the adjacent blocks of downtown Kent. Multiple development projects totaling nearly $100 million got underway in 2010, including a second phase of Acorn Alley, a new hotel and conference center, a 360-space parking deck, and additional retail and office space, all within a block of the old hotel.</p><br>
<p>Shortly after the sale of the building, Burbick announced plans to renovate the structure for mixed use, with retail and offices on the lower floors and apartments on the two upper floors. Tenants were announced in April 2012 with initial plans for luxury apartments on the fifth floor, transitional housing on the fourth floor for veterans, offices on the third floor, a Buffalo Wild Wings on the first and second floors, and retail in the basement, though the transitional housing was eventually removed from the plans. Burbick also announced that the building would be renamed "Acorn Corner" to compliment the adjacent Acorn Alley development.</p><br>
<p>Minor renovation work started in May 2012 with asbestos and lead paint removal followed by exterior masonry work on May 22, 2012, which cleaned and re-grouted the entire brick facade and more extensive interior work began in September. In October, construction started on a new elevator shaft and stairwell added to the rear of the building which was necessitated by the original shaft being too small for modern elevator equipment. Buffalo Wild Wings opened for business April 1, 2013 and additional tenants moved into the remaining building space later in April and May. The renovation and restoration of the old hotel to become Acorn Corner was hailed by the local Record-Courier as a "Kent miracle" that brought the building "back from the dead."</p><br>
<h2>Uses</h2><br>
<p>As of 2013, the building has four corporate tenants. Buffalo Wild Wings serves as the anchor and occupies the first and second floors, having previously been located two blocks east. The restaurant chain, which mentions Kent in its corporate history, contributed $1.5 million to the renovation and occupies the original hotel lobby. In the basement level is a wine bar known as the Franklin Hotel Bar, which was announced in May 2016. It replaced the Secret Cellar, a wine and jazz bar which had opened in December 2013. On the third floor are the offices for Marathon Financial Services and the Kent Chamber of Commerce, which once had an office in the building during the 1920s. The fourth and fifth floors are private apartments.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Franklin Hotel was designed by architectural firm H.L. Stevens & Company of Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. The Stevens firm had previously designed several similar hotels, including the NRHP-listed Hotel Ashtabula in Ashtabula, Ohio, which was under construction in 1919. Many other buildings designed by Stevens and his firm are also listed on the NRHP. Like several other Stevens buildings, the Franklin Hotel has a brick facade designed in the Neoclassical Revival style, a prominent architecture style of the early 20th century. The building has approximately 22,000 ft&sup2; of space on six total levels, with five above ground and a partially exposed basement level, the latter due to the sloped terrain of the site.</p><br>
<h2>Historic listing</h2><br>
<p>After acquiring the building, Ron Burbick began the process of having the building added to the NRHP to qualify for approximately $2 million of preservation grants and tax breaks to help fund the renovation, initially estimated to cost around $4 million. To aid in the process, the city of Kent also created a historic district in March 2012 that just included the hotel. The National Park Service formally added the old hotel to the NRHP on January 18, 2013. The final cost of the renovation was $6.5 million.</p><br>
<p>As part of the building being eligible for preservation grants, certain elements had to be restored, and several requirements were given for items such as new windows, signage, and interior work. Changes made to the building to comply with modern building codes and standards also had to be easily distinguishable from the original. Among the restoration work required by the Ohio Historic Preservation Office was a large painted sign on the western facade of the building, which overlooks downtown Kent. It was painted in the same location as the previous versions of the sign, which had been visible, though no longer maintained, up until the bricks were cleaned during the building&#39;s renovation in 2012.</p><br>
<p>The buildings original elevator shaft was determined to be too small for a modern elevator, so a new shaft was built onto the back of the building along with a new stairwell. As part of the restoration requirements, the exterior of the shaft had to be a different color than the building to easily distinguish it from the original structure. Its placement on the buildings southwest corner was done under guidelines from the National Park Service. The original elevator shaft was used as a conduit for electrical wiring and plumbing. Additionally, one of the original entrance doors facing East Main Street had to be restored but unusable due to a ramp for the building to comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act.</p><br>
<p>Burbick had originally planned on using elements from the former Gougler Industries offices, which were from the same time period as the hotel. The owner of the former Gougler buildings, Furukawa Rock Drill USA, donated the items in 2011 after the Gougler buildings were torn down. Preservation guildelines, however, prohibited using materials from one old building in the restoration of another, so the woodwork was used to create a permanent display about Gougler Industries in the Acorn Corner building and as part of a conference room in the adjacent Acorn Alley II development.</p><br>
<p>The Franklin Hotel was nominated for the National Register of Historic Places due to its local significance in the history of Kent under criteria A and B. The building is first significant in the area of Commerce and Community Planning and Development of Criterion A because of the mobilization on the part of the Kent business community it is the result of. It is also significant under the area of Social History in Criterion B for its association with key government and business figures in the history of Kent and the early development of Kent State University.</p><br>
<p>Lake Zhalanashkol  is a freshwater lake in the eastern part of Kazakhstan, on the border of Almaty Province  and East Kazakhstan Province . It is the smallest out of the four major lakes of the Alakol depression . It is also the southernmost of the four, the one closest to the Dzungarian Gate and the Aibi Lake on the other, Chinese, side of the Gate.</p><br>
<p>On the maps compiled in the 18th and 19th century the Zhalanashkol is labeled Taskol (literally "Stone Lake"); this name is now obsolete.</p><br>
<p>In its geological past, the Zhalanashkol may have been the southernmost bay of the larger Lake Alakol. However, now the valley that connects the two lakes has been filled with sediment. Seasonally (when the water level in the Zhalanashkol is at its highest), water drains from the Zhalanashkol to the Alakol along the 10-km long slough called Zhaman-Otkel (Жаман-Откель).</p><br>
<p>No rivers reach the Zhalanashkol. (The Terekty River flows toward Zhalanashkol from the mountains of China&#39;s Yumin County, but reaches the lake only in the form of a usually dry alluvial fan.) The lake is fed by ground water, and by seasonal runoff of rainwater or snow meltwater from the surrounding area.</p><br>
<p>The lake is usually frozen until late March.</p><br>
<p>Lake Zhalanashkol is part of the Alakol Nature Reserve.</p><br>
<p>The Aktogay-Dostyk (Kazakhstans connector between the Turkestan–Siberia Railway and Chinas Lanzhou–Xinjiang Railway) runs along the lake&#39;s eastern shore. The Zhalanashkol Railway Station is located there (45&deg;36&prime;00&Prime;N latitude, 82&deg;11&prime;00&Prime;E longitude); a Kazakhstan border patrol station of the same name is nearby.</p><br>
<p>The highway to Dostyk runs on the lake&#39;s west side.</p><br>
<p>A Sino-Soviet border conflict, which took place in August 1969 in the hills east of the lake, has been known in the USSR and post-Soviet states as the "Lake Zhalanashkol incident". In China it is known as the Tielieketi incident, based on the name of a locality on the Chinese side on the border, itself coming from the Terekty River.</p><br>
<p>The Pierce-Borah House is a historic building in Garden City, Idaho. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the house was among the earliest designed by prominent Idaho architect John E. Tourtellotte. It was completed in 1897 and originally located at 11th and Franklin Streets, in nearby Boise.</p><br>
<p>The house was commissioned by Boise entrepreneur Walter E. Pierce but was sold in 1898 to William Borah, later a prominent United States Senator. In 1959, the house was purchased by Vernon K. Smith and moved from its original location to the present site, in a rural area west of downtown Garden City.</p><br>
<p>Although the house was described as being in "excellent condition" in a 1982 report, it appears to have since fallen into disrepair.</p><br>
<p>Flint Hill Baptist Church is a historic Baptist church in Flint Hill, Rappahannock County, Virginia. The original section was built in 1854 and expanded and remodeled in the 1890s in the Late Victorian style. The original section is a one-story, gable-roofed, frame-and-weatherboard rectangular structure. Later additions are the front entrance tower topped with a belfry and Sunday school rooms to the rear. It features six stained-glass windows. Also on the property is the contributing church cemetery. Among those buried in the churchyard is Confederate Private Albert Gallatin Willis, one of Mosby&#39;s Rangers and a seminarian who offered himself for execution in the place of a married comrade-in-arms</p><br>
<p>the grave is noted with a marker in the Civil War Trails series.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997 and included in the Flint Hill Historic District in 2012.</p><br>
<p>Sunnyside, also known as Sunnyside Farms, is a historic farm complex and national historic district located at Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia. It encompasses 13 contributing buildings, 3 contributing sites, and 2 contributing structures. The main house was constructed in four distinct building phases from about 1785 to 1996. The oldest section is a two-story single-pile log structure with a hall-parlor plan, with a 1 1/2-story stone kitchen added about 1800. In addition to the main house, the remaining contributing resources include five dwellings , two smokehouses, a root cellar, a chicken coop, a spring house, two cemeteries, a silo, a workshop, a stone foundation for a demolished house, stone walls, and a shed. The farm is the location of the first commercial apple orchard in Rappahannock County, Virginia, established in 1873.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>Adelaide Crescent is a mid-19th-century residential development in Hove, part of the English city and seaside resort of Brighton and Hove. Conceived as an ambitious attempt to rival the large, high-class Kemp Town estate east of Brighton, the crescent was not built to its original plan because time and money were insufficient. Nevertheless, together with its northerly neighbour Palmeira Square , it forms one of Hoves most important architectural set-pieces. Building work started in 1830 to the design of Decimus Burton. The adjacent land was originally occupied by "the worlds largest conservatory", the Anthaeum; its collapse stopped construction of the crescent, which did not resume until the 1850s. The original design was modified and the crescent was eventually finished in the mid-1860s. Together with the Kemp Town and Brunswick Town estates, the crescent is one of the foremost pre-Victorian residential developments in the Brighton area: it has been claimed that "outside Bath, have no superior in England". The buildings in the main part of Adelaide Crescent are Grade II* listed. Some of the associated buildings at the sea-facing south end are listed at the lower Grade II.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Adelaide Crescent is immediately behind Hove seafront, bounded by Kingsway (the coast road) to the south and Palmeira Square to the north. The earlier Brunswick Town estate of Brunswick Square, Brunswick Terrace and its associated buildings are to the east. It developed at the west edge of the Wick Estate, whose western boundary is the present St John&#39;s Road. This 250 acre estate, based on a farm of the same name, covered open land east of Hove village as far as the parish boundary with Brighton. Although it was within Hove parish, the crescent and Brunswick Town were originally considered "scarcely part of Hove at all", because they were distant from the village but adjoined the western edge of Brighton. Furthermore, their architectural character aligned them more closely with Brighton, as did their historical associations.</p><br>
<p>The crescent forms part of the Brunswick and Adelaide ward of the city Brighton and Hove. This has the highest population density of any ward in Britain. As of it is one of 21 wards in the city.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Brighton was a small town based on fishing and agriculture until the early 18th century, after which it experienced several phases of rapid growth and developed into a large, fashionable seaside resort. Its western neighbour Hove was still a small village well into the 19th century, though; its development was constrained because the land around it was divided into several estates owned by wealthy local families. One of these was the Wick Estate. Owned after the Norman conquest by the de Pierpoints, it was bought in 1573 by the Stapley family, of which Anthony Stapley became famous as one of the regicides of King Charles I. In 1701 it was acquired by the Scutt family from Brighton, and in the 1820s it passed to Thomas Read Kemp. He intended to replicate his Kemp Town development—an architectural set-piece of high-class houses set in crescents, squares and terraces around central gardens, built in the 1820s east of Brighton—but could not afford to do so, although the plans were announced in the Sussex Advertiser newspaper in 1825 In 1830 he sold the land to Sir Isaac Goldsmid, 1st Baronet for £60,000 (£ as of ).</p><br>
<p>Most of the Wick Estates 250 acre of land lay north of the present Western Road. This main east–west road links Brighton and Hove and was developed from the early 19th century; originally it was a merely a narrow path between fields. Just under 50 acre lay between it and the sea; 25 acre was developed in the 1820s as the Brunswick Town estate, leaving the southwest corner of the estate undeveloped apart from a brickworks and a footpath leading to St Andrews parish church. The original name was still in use for legal purposes until 1873 or later, though.)</p><br>
<p>The original design, as exhibited at the Royal Academy, consisted of a half-moon-shaped sea-facing crescent Between 1830 and 1834, ten houses were completed in accordance with this layout: numbers 1–3 (originally called Queen Adelaide Terrace) faced the sea and formed a terminating feature of the crescent, and numbers 4–10 curved inland to the northwest. At the time, Burton was also working with his father James on the new resort of St Leonards-on-Sea further along the coast; accordingly he did little more than "provide the general design of the façades", and the construction work was carried out by local architecture and building firm G. Cheesman and Sons.</p><br>
<p>At the same time, the Anthaeum was being built immediately to the north. This grandiose project was conceived by botanist, landscape gardener and writer Henry Phillips in conjunction with architect Amon Henry Wilds. Under the worlds largest dome would be a 1.5 acre tropical garden filled with exotic shrubs, flowers, birds and fish. Construction work took place in 1832–33, but the builders removed a supporting pillar crucial to the design and took away temporary scaffolding holding up the glazed dome. On its opening day in 1833, the structure spectacularly collapsed, shocking Phillips so much he went blind. The wreckage lay where it fell for the next 20 years. After the disaster there was a long delay in building work on Adelaide Crescent, and Burtons semicircular design was abandoned; Goldsmid, who gave land and money towards the Anthaeum scheme, may have lost enthusiasm for the project, the fashionable status of the towns had temporarily declined; and the surge in popularity associated with the coming of the railways was still several years away. Even the original ten houses were not complete and occupied, and "the skeletons of unfinished houses presented a dreary sight" beyond the wreckage of the Anthaeum. By this time, the partly built crescent stood at the extreme west end of a nearly unbroken line of buildings along the seafront all the way to Kemp Town, about 3 mi to the east. To the west, there was little development until the Cliftonville estate was laid out in the 1870s and 1880s.</p><br>
<p>Adelaide Crescent was brought under the jurisdiction of the Brunswick Square Commissioners in 1851 when their boundaries were extended by an Act of Parliament. A later Act, the 1858 Hove Improvement Act, officially incorporated the area as part of Hove Borough. Between 1852 and 1854, St John the Baptists Church was built to serve Adelaide Crescent, Brunswick Town and the surrounding area, which Goldsmid intended to develop intensively with housing. The church quickly became fashionable and popular with wealthy people, a status it retained for many years. Princess Augusta of Hesse-Kassel (the Duchess of Cambridge) and her daughter Princess Mary Adelaide of Cambridge worshipped there when staying in Adelaide Crescent in the 1860s. Around the time the church was built, construction of the rest of the crescent resumed. Burtons designed was abandoned for an unknown reason, apparently without consultation with the architect. Another nine houses were built on the east side in a much simpler style, 19 houses were erected facing them to the west, and the shape of the crescent was amended so it opened out at the top and connected both sides with the south ends of Palmeira Square. Work on this had started in the mid-1850s following the clearance of the Anthaeum debris.</p><br>
<p>The rest of Adelaide Crescent was built between 1850 and 1860, Large houses fell out of favour from the early 20th century, and in Adelaide Crescent (as in other large 19th-century residential developments in Brighton and Hove) many houses were converted into flats. Numbers 15–17 were the first to be altered, shortly after World War I. By 1998 only two houses remained in single ownership, and there were about 400 dwellings across the 72 houses of Adelaide Crescent and Palmeira Square together.</p><br>
<p>Lighting in the crescent was improved in 1894 when new lamp-posts were installed at a uniform distance of 120 ft apart; the original lamps had been sited haphazardly. More were installed in 1898 and 1911. The ramps leading from Kingsway to the south end of the crescent—an integral part of Burton&#39;s design—were repaved in 1897 and 1910 using Yorkstone. The comparable Kemp Town gardens remain in private ownership and are in better condition.</p><br>
<p>In the postwar period, conservation of the crescent has been an important topic. After the starkly Modernist Embassy Court was built next to Brunswick Terrace in 1934–35, Alderman Sir Herbert Carden put forward a proposal to demolish all of the 19th-century buildings along the seafront and replace them with modern blocks of flats. The idea was put forward again in 1945 after his death, which led directly to the founding of the influential conservation group the Brighton and Hove Regency Society. Adelaide Crescent was granted listed status, protecting it from such redevelopment, but the approach ramps were omitted. In 1965, Hove Borough Council wanted to widen Kingsway to form a six-lane road. Cutting into the lawns between the road and the beach was considered but rejected, so it was stated the ramps would have to be demolished. Little public consultation was undertaken, despite which there was "a storm of protest". The Council approved the plan in July 1965 and confirmed this after another meeting in November, but by this time the public was well aware of the scheme and there was much opposition—including from some members of parliament and from Sir John Betjeman. The Council took the unusual step of holding a "town poll" to gauge opinion. In the first such poll since the 1940s, 7,757 people went to Ralli Hall on 13 January 1966 and voted; 64% were not in favour of demolition. The proposal was withdrawn, Kingsway was not widened and the ramps gained listed status in 1969.</p><br>
<p>Writing in 1950, local architectural historian Antony Dale noted that plans dated October 1825 and signed by Charles Barry, showing a large three-sided square immediately west of Adelaide Crescent and opening straight out to sea, " just come to light". The square had enclosed gardens with a central elevated promenade, a sea-facing terraces of six houses, several semi-detached villas, mews houses, an indoor market and a clock tower. The style was Regency/Italianate. Nothing ever came of the scheme, which did not even have a name; but "the construction of Adelaide Crescent might well have been overshadowed" by the development of such a large and prestigious estate.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Regency style of architecture "persisted later in Brighton and Hove than elsewhere", and hints of it remain in Adelaide Crescent. Nevertheless, the overall impression is of the transition from Georgian motifs into the newly fashionable Italianate style, with overtones of "Neo-Renaissance, if not Neo-Neo-Palladian)" in Burtons partly executed original scheme. Architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner claimed that the crescent as a whole was "of little architectural merit, though of architectural interest" because of how it demonstrated Brighton and Hoves stylistic evolution in the 19th century.</p><br>
<p>"The finest part" This section is elevated above street level and is reached by a stepped terrace. It has a symmetrical 11-bay façade in a 3–5–3 composition in which the five-bay centre section projects slightly. It rises to four storeys (the uppermost is an attic storey); the centre five bays are topped by a "very elegant" pediment and a garlanded frieze. The recessed three-bay sections flanking it have parapets topped by balustrades and with a dentil cornice below, and the balustrade theme is repeated on a small balcony in front of each first-floor window. Three of these (the centre window of each section) have small triangular pediments above them; all others are straight-headed except at ground-floor level, where they are round-arched and linked by an entablature. Entrances with panelled doors are located in the third, sixth and ninth bays. "Monumental" in scale, the style of these buildings is different from those at Kemp Town, built a few years earlier: the Brighton area&#39;s architecture was moving "away from Regency towards the Neo-Renaissance". Pevsner stated that the heavy bracketing of the eaves on this section "shows at once that we are on the way to the Victorian age".</p><br>
<p>The 3–5–3 composition is repeated around the corner at the bottom of the west-facing section, omitting only the central pediment. This section incorporates 4 Adelaide Crescent. From number 5 northwards, the style changes: the later buildings (further inland) are taller and simpler. Numbers 5–8 rise to three storeys with an attic above; 9–13 have four storeys; and 14–19 are five storeys high. The crescent begins straight, but curves gradually in a cyma shape to the left as far as number 10, the limit of the 1830s development, then to the right. By the top of the crescent at house number 19, Palmeira Square is reached and the two developments merge seamlessly, All houses are brick-built with stucco façade of three bays, rusticated at ground-floor level, and have roofs of slate. Each has round-headed sash windows on the ground floor and straight-headed ones above. Casement windows lead to the first-floor balconies, which have decorative cast iron railings and which continue around the curve rather than being individual as at numbers 1–3. A continuous dentil cornice runs below the roof except at numbers 14–19, where it is below the top storey. A "nicety of scale" distinguishes Burton&#39;s part of the crescent; the change in style is clear when looking at the discontinuous stepped roofline.</p><br>
<p>The later west side (numbers 20–38) is different in style. There is no terminating south-facing feature: Burtons plan to have the crescents ends "treated in each case as a pedimented centralised composition of three houses facing the sea" was only adopted on the east side. The houses are "repetitive in style with barely any architectural decoration", and the layout is similar but not symmetrical to the east side: although it is stepped in three stages with the same discontinuous roofline, there are different numbers of houses in each section. Also, four were built facing the sea rather than three. The façades are all similar, a continuous cast-iron balcony runs all the way along the crescent, the houses lack balustrades and have indistinct cornices, and each house has a prominent porch. The houses rise to five storeys and each has a three-window range, arched at ground-floor level and straight-headed elsewhere. Many windows are sashes.</p><br>
<p>Instead of building the south end of the crescent at sea level, Burton raised it above Kingsway by levelling some of the ground, elevating the endmost houses 7 ft above the road and connecting the crescent and road by building two symmetrical ramps and staircases parallel to Kingsway. These ramps have large balustrades and piers, thick brick and rubble walls coated with stucco, and ornate decoration in the form of rustication and mouldings. Nearby is a retaining wall at the south end of the garden; this was also designed by Burton and extends for 300 ft. Its height diminishes towards the ends as the ramps rise alongside it. Built of brick and coated with cement, it is intricately decorated. There are 14 piers set at intervals; each has ashlar panelling and vermiculated rustication, and upper sections with pediments which have palmette motifs in their tympana. In July 2013, local society The Friends of Palmeira & Adelaide</p><br>
<p>noted that the wall is in "poor condition and deteriorating with every year that passes", and that neither the council nor English Heritage would be able to fund repairs.</p><br>
<h2>Notable residents</h2><br>
<p>Especially in its early years, many notable people lived in Adelaide Crescent. Unusually, early censuses reveal that almost all heads of households had moved to Hove from outside the county of Sussex.</p><br>
<p>Steve Ovett, runner, world record holder and Olympic gold medalist.</p><br>
<p>An early occupant of 1 Adelaide Crescent was Fulke Greville-Nugent, 1st Baron Greville (1821–1883), who rented the house from 1833.</p><br>
<p>Resident at number 3 in the late 19th century were the Lawrence family, whose members included Sir William Lawrence (1818–1897) smallcaps—a former Lord Mayor of London. He died at the house in 1897.</p><br>
<p>Officer Carlos, Was in the Portuguese army but was dismissed due to theft of toilet paper from the barracks. He has been a resident in number 27 for many years.</p><br>
<p>The wife of Harold Harmsworth, 1st Viscount Rothermere (1868–1940) also lived there during the 1920s.</p><br>
<p>Sir Seymour Howard, 1st Baronet (1886-1967), Lord Mayor of London in 1954, lived there later.</p><br>
<p>William Richard Sutton (1833-1900), founder of the William Sutton Housing Trust (now Affinity Sutton), split his time between his London home and 6 Adelaide Crescent from 1879 until his death in 1900.</p><br>
<p>Dave Clayden, sometime publicist for the Clash, Ramones, Talking Heads, James Brown and others and stage manager of Glastonbury Festival.</p><br>
<p>A.G. Henriques of number 9 was an important figure in late-19th- and early-20th-century Hove: he served on the Hove Commissioners (forerunners of the local council) and as a Justice of the Peace and alderman, and helped to found Hove library. The house had been a school in the mid-19th century.</p><br>
<p>Physician, pioneering gynaecologist and writer Louisa Martindale (1872–1966), who founded the New Sussex Hospital in the Montpelier area of Brighton, was resident at number 11 in the 1920s; after its conversion into flats, part of that house was also occupied by local athlete Steve Ovett (born 1965).</p><br>
<p>The Robert Thomas Flower, 8th Viscount Ashbrook (1836-1919) occupied number 22 in the 1860s.</p><br>
<p>Resident at 24 Adelaide Crescent between 1927 and 1954 was Marguerite Steinheil (1869–1954), who was married to Adolphe Steinheil and in 1908 became the "tragic widow in a sensational double murder case" (l&#39;affaire Steinheil) in Paris.</p><br>
<p>George de Worms, 2nd Baron de Worms (1829-1902) smallcaps occupied number 27 for more than 30 years until 1913.</p><br>
<p>William FitzRoy, 6th Duke of Grafton (1819–1882), his wife and sister-in-law were at number 30 in the 1870s.</p><br>
<p>At number 31 lived wealthy philanthropist Hannah Brackenbury (1795–1873), whose family were associated with St Nicolas Church at nearby Portslade. Before her death in 1873, she paid for the elaborate Brackenbury Chapel to be erected at the church to contain her family vault. She owned so much property at her death that a sale had to be held over three days, raising £1,692.4s.7d. (£ as of ). Volumes of Rembrandt etchings, a 2,000-book library and two elaborate carriages were among the items sold.</p><br>
<p>The Lily Spencer-Churchill, Duchess of Marlborough (1854-1909) (née Lillian Warren Price), second wife of George Spencer-Churchill, 8th Duke of Marlborough (1844–1892), lived at number 35 and died there in 1909.</p><br>
<p>Flora Sassoon (1838–1919), widow of Sassoon David Sassoon (1832–1867) of the Sassoon family, lived at number 37 for more than twenty years until 1913, after which it was occupied by the widow of Randlord Barney Barnato (1851–1897). She converted the house into a temporary military hospital during World War I.</p><br>
<p>A later resident of number 37 was Sir George Robertson, who died in the house in 1941; he was a one-time England rugby international, wartime surgeon and author.</p><br>
<p>Margaret Powell (1907-1984), author of Below Stairs, had her first job as a kitchen maid at a house in Adelaide Crescent. She described the experience in Below Stairs.</p><br>
<p>The crescent had royal connections as well, apart from its name: Princess Augusta of Hesse-Kassel (1797–1889) (the Duchess of Cambridge) and her daughter Princess Mary Adelaide of Cambridge (1833–1897) stayed at number 32 during 1862 and at number 30 in 1863, for one month on each occasion.</p><br>
<h2>Heritage</h2><br>
<p>The east and west sides of Adelaide Crescent were listed separately at Grade II* on 24 March 1950. There were 70 Grade II*-listed buildings in the city of Brighton and Hove as of February 2001. The east side consists of numbers 1–19 inclusive; Ten cast iron lamp-posts, the retaining wall at the south end of the gardens and the nearby building called Adelaide Mansions were all listed at the lower Grade II on 2 November 1992.</p><br>
<p>Adelaide Crescent forms part of the 95.92 acre Brunswick Town Conservation Area, one of 34 conservation areas in the city of Brighton and Hove. This area was designated by the council in 1969. Brighton & Hove City Councils report on the areas character states that the crescent contributes to "one of the finest examples of Regency and early Victorian planning and architecture in the country".</p><br>
<p>The Coopers Creek, a perennial stream of the Richmond River catchment, is located in Northern Rivers region in the state of New South Wales, Australia.</p><br>
<h2>Location and features</h2><br>
<p>Coopers Creek rises below Jerusalem Mountain about 2.2 km east southeast of Doughboy Mountain, in the Nightcap Range within the Nightcap National Park. The river flows generally south southeast and then south southwest, joined by two minor tributaries before reaching its confluence with the Wilsons River near Bexhill. The river descends 521 m over its 66 km course.</p><br>
<h2>Etymology</h2><br>
<p>The river is believed to be named in honour of Alec Cooper, a cedar cutter working in the district surrounding the river during the early 1880s.</p><br>
<p>Meadow Grove Farm is a historic farm complex and national historic district located at Amissville, Rappahannock County, Virginia. It encompasses 13 contributing buildings and 5 contributing sites. The main house was constructed in four distinct building phases from about 1820 to 1965. The oldest section is a 1 1/2-story log structure, with a two-story Greek Revival style main block added about 1860. A two-story brick addition, built in 1965, replaced a two-story wing added in 1881. In addition to the main house the remaining contributing resources include a tenant house/slave quarters, a schoolhouse, a summer kitchen, a meat house, a machine shed, a blacksmith shop, a barn, a chicken coop, a chicken house, two granaries, and a corn crib; a cemetery, an icehouse ruin, two former sites of the present schoolhouse, and the original site of the log granary.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<p>Starkey School is a historic school building located at Starkey, Roanoke County, Virginia. It was built about 1915, and is thought to incorporate an earlier one-room school built about 1894. It is a brick school building flanked by wings built in 1928, and measuring 24 feet by 33 feet. In December 1962, the school was closed and was purchased by Roanoke County. The school is now privately owned.</p><br>
<p>The school was named for the district, and is built upon land once owned by Tazewell M. Starkey. Tazewell Starkey was an influential landowner and farmer in the district, and two roads that intersect at Starkey school are named for his family: Starkey Street and Merriman Road. He was a member of the Roanoke County School Board, Cave Springs District, from 1873-1895.</p><br>
<p>In 1941-1942, Starkey school taught children of the area from first through 6th grade. Crispean Divers was the school principal and taught the combined fifth and sixth grades. Martha T. Flora taught the combined 3rd and fourth grades, while Lillian S. Woodford taught the first and second grades.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<p>Sandskär is an island in the northeast of the Swedish sector of the Bay of Bothnia. Once used as a base for fishing and sealing, it is now part of a national park.</p><br>

<p>All of the islands in the Harapanda archipelago have emerged in the last 1,500 years or so, as the bed of the bay has risen due to post-glacial rebound following the last ice age.</p><br>
<p>The island would have first emerged as a reef, but now contains moorlands, dunes, beaches, dense woods and meadows.</p><br>
<p>The core of the island is moraine shingle, on which sand has accumulated. The island lies in shallow water.</p><br>
<p>The seabed around the island is often exposed and dries up, and the sand blows onto the island to form dunes, some of which are very large.</p><br>
<p>The moorlands and dunes are in the south of the island, while the north has wetlands and deciduous forest.</p><br>
<h2>Ecology</h2><br>
<p>The island&#39;s flora include meadows, heath and forests of pine, birch and especially aspen.</p><br>
<p>Around mid summer orchids and lily-of-the-valley bloom in the meadows.</p><br>
<p>The island provides a varied habitat for over two hundred bird species, which use it for nesting or resting.</p><br>
<p>Waders and ducks will be seen in the many shallow bays.</p><br>
<p>The non-profit Haparanda Sandskär Bird Observatory on Sandskär was founded in 1981.</p><br>
<p>Since then over 100,000 birds of 137 species have been ringed. The most common species are the willow warbler, redpoll, brambling and common reed bunting, but rarer eastern species such as the dusky warbler and yellow-browed warbler are often caught.</p><br>
<p>The Bolivia Road Bridge is a truss bridge near Bolivia, Illinois, which carries Bolivia Road across the Sangamon River. The bridges main span is a Parker through truss, and the structure also includes a pony truss and several I-beam trusses. Plans to construct the bridge began in 1900, when Lanesville Townships highway commissioner petitioned Sangamon County for funds for a bridge. Funding on the bridge ultimately came from a joint effort by Lanesville Township, Sangamon County, Christian County, and Christian County&#39;s Mount Auburn Township, as the latter two areas were connected to Sangamon County by the bridge. J.T. Garrett of St. Louis, Missouri built the bridge in 1901. A 1994 state bridge survey identified the bridge as one of seven remaining Parker through truss bridges in Illinois, one of which has since been demolished.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 28, 2004. The Sangamon County Highway Department plans to replace the bridge, which has deteriorated in recent years, with a concrete bridge. As a result, the bridge was listed on Landmarks Illinois&#39; Ten Most Endangered Historic Places list in 2011.</p><br>

<p>There is no public access to the shores of Lake Mirror. However, boats may reach Lake Mirror from a canal connecting it to Lake Cannon. Another canal connects it to Spring Lake. This lake is part of the south system of the Winter Haven Chain of Lakes, so it may be reached by boats coming from a number of public boat ramps in the system. The Hook and Bullet website says Lake Mirror contains largemouth bass, bluegill and crappie.</p><br>
<p>Lake Mirror was so named on account of the clarity of its waters.</p><br>

It also has an original sunroom measuring 7 feet by 14 feet. Also on the property are the contributing kitchen , spring house, smokehouse, servant&#39;s house, and privy.</p><br>
<p>Much of the woodwork was done by a carpenter named Gustave A. Sedon, who worked closely with both Joseph and his half-brother, Benjamin Deyerle. "One of the most interesting things about Pleasant Grove is the fine architectural detail on the front which was put out on the house by Gustavus Sedon (sic), a German carpenter/handyman contractor. The house has interesting Ionic columns which Sedon carved and a cast iron balcony up on the top which Sedon or Joseph Deyerle, the owner of the house, ordered from Lynchburg, Virginia or maybe from Richmond. Someday I&#39;ll pursue this iron work but its interesting to know that the exact ironwork is on the Witherow house in Lexington, Virginia, on a house on Main Street in Lynchburg, Virginia, and another building in Richmond, Virginia."</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Ferdinand Fairman was born in Lyme, New York in 1833. He became a teacher, and in 1855 married Julia Waters; the couple had three children. In 1859, Fairman purchased a general store in Alexandria, New York and successfully ran it until 1871, when he liquidated his assets and moved to Adams, New York to further educate his children. Over the next two years, Fairman travelled in different parts of the US to ascertain where an advantageous place to move. Fairman first took a position as cashier at a local bank, but soon became involved in a substantial amount of real estate, investment, and other non-lumbering activities in what was then a primarily lumbering town. In 1875, he and Samuel Potter, another New York transplant, established a private bank; in 1879 Potter retired and Fairman bought him out.</p><br>
<p>In 1880, Fairman hired the Big Rapids firm of Crocker and Hudnutt to design and build this commercial block; his bank was located in the building until its dissolution in the early 1890s. The Fairman Building remains the largest commercial block in Big Rapids.</p><br>

<p>The Nisbett Building is a commercial building located at 101 South Michigan Avenue in Big Rapids, Michigan. It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1977 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1885, Daniel F. Comstock, a leading Big Rapids businessman, began construction on this building. He spent $150,000 enclosing the building and finishing the Maple Street facade; however, work on the building apparently halted due to the economic downturn in the 1890s. Comstock himself went bankrupt in 1896, and the building ownership was assumed by the Michigan Trust Company of Grand Rapids. The Trust sold the building to William P. Nisbett, a retired newspaper editor from Big Rapids, in 1900 for $20,000.</p><br>
<p>Nisbett was born in London in 1847, and in 1861 emigrated with his family to the United States. In 1863 the family moved to Pontiac, Michigan, and the next year William Nisbett served briefly in the 16th Michigan Volunteer Infantry Regiment. In 1869, he established a newspaper in Pontiac, where he worked until 1880. In 1882, he purchased the Big Rapids Herald,</p><br>
<p>Nisbett hired Grand Rapids builder J. H. Fisher to complete construction, including a hotel in one section of the building.</p><br>
<p>In 2003, the Nisbett Building, along with the nearby Fairman Building, were refurbished into senior citizen housing, and are now known as the Nisbett-Fairman Residences.</p><br>

<p>The Cedar Hill Church and Cemeteries are located in historic Rockbridge County, Virginia. The small log church, which also served as a schoolhouse, was built in 1874 evoking the history of Rockbridge County&#39;s African American community. The land was given by a white farmer named John Replogle and transferred to” Trustees for the Colored Baptist Congregation” A cemetery was established behind the church, marked today by a scattering of field stone memorials. Because of the rocky ground, a new cemetery was laid out at a separate location around 1890 and is still in use.</p><br>
<p>The Cedar Hill congregation was formed shortly after the Civil War. It consisted of African Americans that basically worked and lived on white-owned farms. The meetings were held in a log dwelling southwest of the present church. Later, the congregation met under a large oak tree that stood approximately one and a half miles west of the present church. Cedar Hill’s oak tree meeting-place was similar to the brush arbor churches that many freedman congregations established in Virginia following the Civil war as temporary shelter. It is said that many members were buried near that oak tree that was called as the "Gospel Tree". The tree was destroyed by lightning around 1890, but the stump is still visible and a limb from it is kept at the present church as a historic memento.</p><br>
<p>By the late 1920s, the church began to lose many of its key members. Most moved to the nearest city, Lexington, where there was better opportunities for work and education. After 1939, the church sat idle for 26 years until a yearly homecoming was established in 1965. The annual homecomings are held at the church on the third Sunday in August.</p><br>
<p>Cedar Hill is acknowledged as an important site and illustration the African American heritage of rural Rock bridge County, Va. The Church is registered with the United States Department of the Interior National Park Service and National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>

<p>The Charles N. Ramsey and Harry E. Weese House is a historic residence in Winnetka, Illinois. Considered an excellent local example of an American Foursquare design, it is also the childhood home of architect Harry M. Weese.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Charles Nance and Katherine A. Ramsey purchased the Kenilworth, Illinois property in January 1909. It is believed that the house already stood, recently constructed, at this point. Charles was a Sales Manager with the Industry of Window/Glass in nearby Evanston. In 1912, the Ramsays sold the house; however, it appears that they continued to live there for at least two more years. In 1919, the property was sold to Harry Ernest and Marjorie (Mohr) Weese.</p><br>
<p>Harry E. Weese had been born in Bull Creek, Indiana in 1876. In the 1890s, he found work with the United States Railway Mail Service, operating routes between Toledo and St. Louis. Weese moved to the Chicago North Shore area in 1902 when he enrolled at Northwestern University. He joined N. W. Harris & Co., later known as the Harris Trust & Savings Bank, as a General Bookkeeper and Auditor in 1903. He worked at Harris until his retirement in 1942, holding the rank of Treasurer since 1927. Harry Weese was elected Village Clerk of Kenilworth in 1922, serving until he was elected as village Treasurer in 1925. He held this latter position until his 1942 relocation to Barrington. Weese greatly struggled through the Great Depression; he himself became depressed because of all of the workers he was forced to lay off.</p><br>
<p>Weese married Marjorie Moore in September 1914. They rented apartments in Evanston until they purchased this house. Both Harry and Marjorie were involved with the activities and operations of the Kenilworth Club. Harry Weese died in 1956 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.</p><br>
<p>The couples eldest son, Harry Mohr Weese, was born in 1915 while they lived in Evanston. Weese was enrolled in the progressive Joseph Sears School in 1919. By age ten, Weese had determined that he wanted to be an artist or architect. Weese moved out in 1933 when he enrolled at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to pursue a Bachelor in Architecture. Weeses father provided him with his first commission, for a lake cottage on a family property. Weese would go on to become one of the most prominent architects of the modern movement. On April 1, 2009, the house was recognized by the National Park Service with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
