<p>Gothic House  is a Gothic-style building in the centre of Brighton, part of the English city of Brighton and Hove. Although it has been in commercial use for more than a century, it retains some of its original appearance as "one of the most fascinating houses" built by the prolific partnership of Amon Henry Wilds and Charles Busby. It is the only Gothic Revival building they are known to have designed: they typically adopted the Regency style, sometimes with Classical or Italianate touches. The building is Grade II listed.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Amon Wilds and his son Amon Henry Wilds moved from Lewes to nearby Brighton in 1815 when it was a rapidly developing seaside resort. They had founded a building and architectural partnership nine years earlier. In 1822, Charles Busby—also an architect—came to Brighton and entered an informal partnership with the Wilds. They went on to become "the most influential and significant in Brighton&#39;s architectural history" over the following decades.</p><br>
<p>Wilds junior set up his own company in around 1823, It was finished in 1825 and was known either by the name Gothic House or by its original street address of 1 Western Terrace (it was the first building in that street, predating several others by Wilds such as Sillwood Hall and the Western Pavilion),</p><br>
<p>Wilds originally lived at Western Pavilion, directly opposite Gothic House, but he is recorded at living at Gothic House (then named Priory Lodge) between 1843 and 1845. At some point after this it was divided internally into three houses. The department store Plummer Roddis then bought the building in 1920 and extended the shopfront further west and to the south along Western Terrace. Henry Ward was responsible for this work. The house " now the nucleus of their premises" and had been greatly altered: the whole ground floor had been removed and the plain Gothic-style addition of 1880 gave the appearance of being "grafted on". and by 2001 Loch Fyne Restaurants operated a seafood restaurant in the unit on the corner of Western Terrace. After this closed, Spanish restaurant Pintxo People traded from the premises, but this in turn closed in February 2009. and the Rock N Roller American Restaurant and Pool Bar opened in April that year. This later closed down and was offered for sale on a leasehold basis. Meanwhile, Blockbuster went into administration in January 2013 and closed many stores, including this one. On 29 March 2014, the eastern section of the building (on the corner of Western Terrace) reopened as the Verano Lounge restaurant and bar. The sale and refurbishment cost £450,000. On 24 September 2016, the Verano Lounge closed and was put on the market.</p><br>
<p>The building was Grade II listed on 13 October 1952.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Non-ecclesiastical Gothic-style buildings are rare in Brighton: the only other examples are Wykeham Terrace, the Percy and Wagner Almshouses on Lewes Road, and the former Brighton Forum (now Citibase Brighton; originally a teacher training college). (Wilds may have been commissioned to design Wykeham Terrace, but there is no definite proof of this). Wilds and Busby were accustomed to designing in various styles—their range in Brighton along encompasses Greek Revival, Classical, Regency, and Italianate, and Wilds tried a fusion of Oriental and Indo-Saracenic Revival styles for his own home at Western Pavilion, built in 1831. Gothic House is their only known commission in the Gothic style, though, and it is the only such design they actually executed. The design has been likened to the proto-Gothic of Strawberry Hill House (1749–1776) in London by local historian Antony Dale, who calls it "more realistic than... the house could hardly lay claim to be called a serious Gothic construction". He instead describes it as an "experiment" by Wilds and Busby. The building has also been called "fanciful and irresponsibly Gothick".</p><br>
<p>The building&#39;s placement opposite the Western Pavilion "nicely illustrates the stylistic variation of the Regency period" and provided a clear contrast to its elaborate Oriental style, especially before it was converted for commercial use. Above the "mutilated" ground floor, the upper parts of the building are mostly unchanged from the original design: the hood-moulded windows have pointed arches and tracery, and the polygonal corner tower has a crocketted pinnacle at each corner. Buttresses rise from ground-floor level on this section. The shopfront added in 1920 by Henry Ward has two storeys and rounds the corner into Western Terrace, partly hiding the original structure.</p><br>

<p>Dixona is a historic house in Smith County, Tennessee, near Dixon Springs. It is one of the oldest homes in Middle Tennessee.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1787–88 by Tilman Dixon, the Revolutionary War soldier who was Dixon Springs first settler and namesake. His land holdings, received as a Revolutionary War land grant, totaled 3,840 acre. In 1797, Louis Philippe, then Duke of Orleans and later King of France, stayed in Dixona together with his brothers, the Duke of Montpensier and Count of Beaujolais, during their travels in America. The house was Smith Countys first tavern and post office; in 1799 it was used as the site for the county&#39;s first county court meeting.</p><br>
<p>The original house was an eight-room log building. A major expansion in 1858 added a pair of Italianate brick wings and Greek Revival-style porches with columns, converting it to a two-story "piano box" and increasing its size to more than 4,500 ft2. The original log structure still forms the core of the house.</p><br>
<p>Dixona was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. Since 2007, Dixona Farm, the 148 acre tract on which Dixona is located, has been protected by a conservation easement held by the Land Trust for Tennessee.</p><br>
<p>The Louisville and Nashville Depot, located at 101 E. Railroad St. in Nashville, Illinois, is the citys former Louisville and Nashville Railroad station. The station was built in 1885 as part of the L&Ns expansion through Southern Illinois in the 1880s. The building has a simple vernacular design common to L&N depots in small towns, which were intended to be functional rather than elaborate. The railroad exported the products of Washington Countys industries, which included coal, dairy products, grain, and lumber, through the station; it also imported goods such as automobiles, fertilizer, and commercial products. In addition, the railroad provided passenger service to Nashville; at the peak of service, seven daily passenger trains stopped at the depot, and students in other parts of the county used the trains to attend Nashvilles high school. The depot also served as an information center for Nashville; the city&#39;s telegraph station was located at the depot, and St. Louis daily newspapers arrived by train. The depot remained in service as late as the 1950s but closed sometime prior to 1984.</p><br>
<p>The depot was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 1, 1985.</p><br>
<p>It was renovated in 2015, 115 years after it was built. It is now used by the Washington County Historical Society as a museum.</p><br>
<p>Bangka Island is a small island located off of the northeastern tip of Sulawesi, Indonesia. Bangka is known for its unspoiled beaches and dive tourism. It belongs administratively to the district of East Likupang in the North Minahasa regency, North Sulawesi province. The island has three main coastal villages: Lihunu, Kahuku and Libas. Controversy exists over the local government’s decision to grant mining exploration permits for Bangka to a Chinese company, which would then plan to mine iron ore and build a refining smelter.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Bangka is located in the western Pacific Ocean, between the Celebes Sea (Indonesian: Laut Sulawesi) to the west and the Molucca Sea to the east. Bangka is southwest of Biaro Island, separated by the Bangka Passage. Just west of Bangka are the islands of Kinabohutan, Talisei, Tindila and Gangga.</p><br>
<p>Bangka has an area of 4,778 hectares. Geographical faces of the island include forests, hills, coconut plantations, rocky outcrops, mangroves and pristine beaches.</p><br>
<p>The largest village is Lihunu, followed by Kahuku and Libas.</p><br>
<h2>Economy</h2><br>
<p>Local commerce involves selling fish and agricultural products such as coconuts, copra, cloves, maize and vegetables. Some locals are also employed by the island’s five eco-tourism ventures, which specialize in diving and snorkeling.</p><br>
<p>Tourism: Bangka&#39;s popularity as international tourism destination has increased since its first dive resort was opened in 1987. Most of the sandy beaches and coral reefs attractive to tourists are located at the southwestern and southern parts of the island. The northern coastline is rockier and its waters contain more seagrass than spectacular coral.</p><br>
<h2>Demography</h2><br>
<p>Most residents are from the Sangihe-Siao ethnic group. According to the 2000 census, the population of the island’s three villages totaled 2,649 (Lihunu 1,162, Kahuku 983 and Libas 504), while in 2010 the population of the villages had declined to 2,397 (Lihunu 1,029, Kahuku 938 and Libas 430). Other residents live outside the villages and at the five resorts.</p><br>
<p>Most of the population is split between those who work as fishermen and those who work as farmers. Other islanders work as civil servants, teachers, on resorts or other occupations.</p><br>
<h2>Environment</h2><br>
<p>Small-scale clearing of forest has taken place for several decades, leaving just grass cover on parts of the hilly interior. The island’s land also includes forests, orchards, shrubs, and coconut plantations. Mangroves cover just 1.98% (58.7 hectares) of the island.</p><br>
<p>Ecologically, Bangka and its waters contain an abundance of biodiversity. Land animals include Javanese deer (Rusa timorensis), tarsier (Carlito syrichta - a nocturnal arboreal primate), common cuscus (Phalanger orientalis), Asian water monitor lizard (Varanus salvator) and wild boar (Sus scrofa). There are many coral reefs that attract tropical fish species, such as Napoleon fish, frogfish, pygmy seahorses and nudibranchs, as well as dugongs: a species of protected marine mammal. Dugongs are known to dwell and feed in waters off the island&#39;s coast. Also present is a species of tubular marine sponge, the Petrosia nigricans, from which four new purine derivatives have been isolated.</p><br>
<p>Bangka Island is located close to Bunaken Marine National Park, a popular marine-based international tourism destination. Bangka does not have protected marine park status. The area around Bangka lies on a whale migration path.</p><br>
<h2>Mining controversy</h2><br>
<p>The Regent of North Minahasa, Sompie Singal, in 2008 issued a permit to PT Mikgro Metal Perdana (PT MMP), a subsidiary of the Hong Kong-based Aempire Resource Group, to explore for iron ore on Bangka. The Regent has twice extended the permit: first on 20 July 2010, and then again on 20 July 2012. The concession area covers 2,000 hectares and the 2012 extension was broadened to cover "iron ore and other minerals".</p><br>
<p>Many Bangka residents and the local tourism operators oppose the mining plan. They fear that a full-scale mining operation and pollution would devastate Bangka’s fragile ecosystem and destroy traditional livelihoods and eco-tourism.</p><br>
<p>Residents and the tourism operators sued the Regent and PT MMP in an effort to prevent the mining. They partly based their lawsuit on the fact that Bangka is defined as a small island under Law No.27/2007 on the Management of Coastal Areas and Small Islands. This law states that mining is illegal on islands smaller than 2,000 km². Bangka has a surface area of just about 48 km².</p><br>
<p>PT MMP and local government officials pressed ahead with the mining plan, insisting it will bring economic benefits. The Director of PT MMP, Yang Yongjian, accused a non-government organization of masterminding anti-mining protests in an effort to extort money from his company, but he did not name the NGO.</p><br>
<p>Manado Administrative Court (in Decision No.04/G.TUN/2012/PTUN.MDO) on 30 August 2012, rejected a lawsuit by Bangka residents and tourism operators to cancel the exploration permit. The plaintiffs successfully appealed at the High Administrative Court of Makassar, South Sulawesi, which on 1 March 2013 (in Decision No.165/B.TUN/2012/PT.TUN.MKS) overturned the Manado Court’s ruling. The judges accepted all points of the plaintiffs&#39; case. The verdict revoked the exploration permits and their extensions. The Regent and PT MMP rejected this verdict and appealed to the Supreme Court in Jakarta. On 23 September 2013, the Supreme Court dismissed their appeal.</p><br>
<p>As stipulated in Government Regulation No.26/2008 on National Spatial Planning and Government Regulation No.50/2011 on National Tourism Development Planning, Bunaken National Park and its “surrounding areas” should be regarded as a strategic area for marine tourism, conservation and fishing.</p><br>
<p>Almost the entire concession area of 2,000 hectares granted to PT MMP has Limited Production Forest Zone status. Therefore, a special permit must be obtained from the Forestry Ministry, through the North Sulawesi Governor, prior to exploration activities. This was not obtained, so PT MMP’s exploration permit was ruled a violation of Law No.41/1999 on Forestry.</p><br>
<p>Local civil servants, including school teachers, have been accused of intimidating locals opposed to the mining plan.</p><br>
<p>A campaign to prevent the planned mining gained national attention after receiving support from veteran Indonesian rock band Slank. Divers have warned that pollution from mining at Bangka would lead to the destruction of marine life and nearby marine tourism sites.</p><br>
<p>Junkön is an island in the northwest of the Swedish sector of the Bay of Bothnia, in the Luleå archipelago.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Junkön is one of the larger of the islands offshore from Luleå.</p><br>
<p>It is said to be named after a Sami named Junker who grazed his reindeer on the island.</p><br>
<p>The sandy western part of the island has been used by the airforce as a firing range since World War II, and is off limits to civilians.</p><br>
<p>The eastern part of the island is well-forested, including pines that are over 200 years old.</p><br>
<p>The Larsgrundet lighthouse is located on a shoal in the channel between the islands of Junkön and Storbrändön.</p><br>
<p>It was built in 1965, and was still in operation as of 2013. The focal plane is 18 m.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first records of the island date to 1491.</p><br>
<p>The island would have been quite new then, having formed as the terrain rose due to post-glacial rebound.</p><br>
<p>The first permanent resident settled on the island in 1783.</p><br>
<p>There is a solidly built windmill dating from the late 1700s, in the past used by the residents of Junkön and nearby islands to grind their flour.</p><br>
<p>It is not certain who built it, but based on its design it may have been a stranded fisherman from Finland.</p><br>
<p>Since the early 1900s the population has steadily diminished. As of 2013 there were only three resident families.</p><br>
<p>A number of professional fishermen still make Junkön their base, fishing for Baltic herring, whitefish and sea trout in the summer.</p><br>
<p>They net a local species of whitefish in the autumn to harvest its roe, which is called the "gold of the sea".</p><br>
<h2>Village</h2><br>
<p>The marina can accommodate about ten boats.</p><br>
<p>There is a café that opens in the summer, toilets, saunas, showers and drinking water.</p><br>
<p>The "Junkön fishing village" was inaugurated in 1998, a group of newly built houses in traditional style with an exhibition on life in the islands in the old days.</p><br>
<p>The Luleå Municipality has also built a quay, boathouses and a boat motor museum.</p><br>
<p>Two cottages are available for rent.</p><br>

<p>The Luleå archipelago  is a group of Swedish islands in the north part of the Bay of Bothnia. They lie offshore from the city of Luleå and the mouth of the Lule River. A few of the islands have small permanent populations, but most are used only for recreation in the summer months. They are icebound during the winter.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The north of the bay of Bothnia contains a large archipelago area.</p><br>
<p>The islands in the Swedish sector make up the Norrbotten archipelago.</p><br>
<p>They are divided into the Piteå, Luleå, Kalix and Haparanda archipelagos.</p><br>
<p>The Luleå archipelago lies in the Luleå Municipality, part of the Norrbotten county.</p><br>
<p>The port of Luleå is one of the largest in Sweden in terms of tonnage, shipping iron ore and steel.</p><br>
<p>There are more than 1,312 islands in the Luleå archipelago if small or very small rocky islets are included.</p><br>
<p>Many of the islands are uninhabited, in a natural state, and are quite small with little or nothing in the way of facilities for visitors.</p><br>
<p>Due to post-glacial rebound the land is rising at from 0.8 to 1 cm annually, so the shoreline can retreat by as much as 100 m in one person&#39;s lifetime.</p><br>
<p>As a result, the islands are growing in size but the waters and harbors are becoming shallower.</p><br>
<p>Because of this process in 1649 the entire city of Luleå was forced to move to its present location since the channel to its previous location had become too shallow.</p><br>
<p>The islands are unofficially divided into three zones for administrative purposes. The inner zone holds the islands of Brändön, Hertsölandet, Laxön, Likskäret, Rörbäck-Sandöskatan and Sandön. The middle zone holds the islands of Altappen, Bockön, Degerön, Fjuksön, Germandön, Hamnön, Hindersön, Junkön, Kallaxön, Lappön, Långön, Mannön, Nagelskäret, Sandskäret, Sigfridsön, Storbrändön, Stor-Furuön and Tistersöarna. The outer zone contains Bastaskäret, Brändöskäret, Båtön, Estersön, Finnskäret, Kluntarna, Mjoön, Norr-Espen, Rödkallen, Sandgrönnorna, Saxskäret, Smålsön, Småskär and Sör-Espen.</p><br>
<h2>Climate</h2><br>
<p>The archipelago is only 100 km south of the Arctic Circle, so there is daylight for 24 hours in the summer, and full moon all day in the winter.</p><br>
<p>In the summer many of the islands can be reached by tour boat. In the winter they can be reached by ice road, snowmobile, skiing or skating.</p><br>
<p>The waters around the archipelago are brackish, with less than 10% of the salt content of the Atlantic.</p><br>
<p>The sea freezes in January and remain frozen until March–April. Ice roads are cleared to four inhabited islands. In total there are 60 km of ice roads.</p><br>
<p>The longest ice road in Sweden at 15 km runs from Hindersöstallarna on the mainland to the islands of Hindersön, Stor-Brändön, and Långön.</p><br>
<p>Normally the road is open from January to April. Vehicle weight restrictions apply.</p><br>
<h2>Environment</h2><br>
<p>The Luleå archipelago was described by the Swedish bishop Olaus Magnus in 1555. He praised the fair islands, with constant daylight in the summer, well-covered in trees, bushes and grass, with warm but refreshing air, set in a sea that was rich in fish.</p><br>
<p>The islands are rich in wild berries including lingonberries, blueberries, raspberries, Arctic raspberries, cloudberries, wild strawberries and seabuckthorn.</p><br>
<p>They have a large and varied bird population.</p><br>
<p>The outer islands are considered more vulnerable, with more sensitive vegetation.</p><br>
<p>A number of islands are in whole or part included in the Natura 2000 ecological network of the European Union, including sixteen nature reserves that cover 16,340 hectare of which 1,392 hectare is land.</p><br>
<p>There is one 5 hectare biotope protected area.</p><br>
<p>There are eight bird sanctuaries covering 1,670 hectare of which 366 hectare is land.</p><br>
<p>These are off-limits to visitors during the months of May, June and July, when the birds are breeding.</p><br>
<p>Most of the protected nature reserves and bird sanctuaries are in the outer zone.</p><br>
<h2>Economy</h2><br>
<p>Some of the islands are inhabited or have seasonal fishing villages used by people from the mainland.</p><br>
<p>As of 1999 there were only 80 permanent residents of the islands, mostly old people who had lived there all their lives.</p><br>
<p>There was just one farmer and twelve commercial fishermen, all single men.</p><br>
<p>However, there may be a trend for second homes on Sandön to be transformed into permanent homes.</p><br>
<p>In some winters, Sami reindeer herders from the Lule River valley bring their herds across the ice for grazing on the islands,</p><br>
<p>but only if required by weather conditions.</p><br>
<p>there were over 8,000 small boats in Luleå, or about one for every eight people,</p><br>
<p>letting the inhabitants of the city access the islands of the archipelago for recreation.</p><br>

<p>The Edward E. Hartwick Memorial Building is a museum building located on Hartwick Pines Road in Grayling Township, Michigan, in the Hartwick Pines State Park. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1927, Mrs. Karen Hartwick donated the land that is now the Hartwick Pines State Park to the Michigan Department of Conservation. In 1929, the Department erected this building as a memorial to Mrs. Hartwick&#39;s husband, Major Edward E. Hartwick, who died in action during World War I. The building was probably designed by Ralph B. Herrick of the architectural firm of Herrick and Simpson. However, work was halted by the onset of the Great Depression, and did not resume until 1933, when workers from the Civilian Conservation Corps arrived. CCC workers finished the interior of the Memorial Building and constructed other buildings in the park.</p><br>
<p>A new visitor&#39;s center was constructed in 1994</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Edward E. Hartwick Memorial Building is a 1-1/2 story rustic log structure built entirely of Michigan pine, measuring 71 ft by 46 ft. A wide porch stretching across the front is covered by a continuous roof. The interior features a large center hall with a cathedral ceiling and a massive fieldstone fireplace, and a second-floor mezzanine. The Memorial Building one of the few remaining examples of the rustic log architecture used in the 1920s and 1930s by the Michigan State Park system.</p><br>
<p>Rebecca Vaughan House is a historic home and farm located at Courtland, Southampton County, Virginia. It was built about 1800, and is a 1 1/2-story, three bay, four room, frame dwelling. It has a pressed metal shingle gable roof with five dormers. The house was moved to its present site in 2004, and is located on the grounds of the Southampton Agriculture & Forestry Museum and Heritage Village, administered by the Southampton Historical Society. The house was the last house during the Nat Turner&#39;s slave rebellion of August 21 through 23, 1831, at which Nat Turner and his followers killed residents during their journey through the southwestern portion of Southampton County. The house has been restored.</p><br>
<p>A brick foundation for the house and for the dairy barn were built in 2015 and the chimneys for the house were restored with period accurate material the same year. The restored chimneys are lined with terra cotta tile to meet modern standards.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<p>Mahones Tavern, also known as Kellos Tavern, Vaughns Tavern and Howards Hotel, is a historic inn and tavern located in Courtland, Southampton County, Virginia. It was built about 1796, and is a two-story, three-bay, gable-roofed, wood framed structure with exterior gable end chimneys. A rebuilt hyphen and kitchen structure were added in 1933. In 1831, like nearly every standing building in Courtland, or Jerusalem at the time, it became a refuge and gathering place for local citizens during the slave uprising led by Nat Turner, known as the Nat Turner&#39;s slave rebellion. The building was also the boyhood home of two persons who later achieved national prominence: Confederate General William Mahone and John J. Kindred, resident from 1859 to 1869, who later became a USA Senator from New York. It ceased being used as a tavern or hotel in 1901.</p><br>

<p>The M-72–Au Sable River Bridge, also known as the Grayling Bridge or State Street Bridge, is a bridge located on M-72 over the Au Sable River in Grayling, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The village of Grayling was first platted along the Au Sable River in 1874. Soon after, a bridge was built at this location to facilitate travel across the river. However, the population of Grayling increased significantly in the early 1900s, and the state designated the route through Grayling as a state trunkline, both of which increased traffic over the existing bridge. In 1922, Grayling replaced the bridge with a sturdier version. However, increasingly heavy vehicular traffic used the bridge, and it was soon deemed inadequate. In 1933, the State Highway Department designed this replacement structure.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was built by contractor F. C. Atletwed at a cost of $13,700 and opened in 1935, and has continued to serve M-72 traffic in nearly unaltered condition.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Grayling Bridge is a 40 ft, 52 ft rigid-frame steel stringer structure, with the superstructure securely connected to the abutments using of the arched brackets. Nine rolled I-beams carrying the concrete roadway and sidewalks to each side. Ornamental steel guardrails, now supplemented with Armco guardrails, line the exterior.</p><br>
<p>The bridge is significant as perhaps the earliest rigid-frame bridge built by the Michigan State Highway Department,</p><br>

<p>The largest island is Rånön in the Kalix archipelago.</p><br>
<p>Due to post-glacial rebound the land is rising at from 0.8 to 1 cm annually, so the shoreline can retreat by as much as 100 m in one person&#39;s lifetime.</p><br>
<p>As a result, the islands are growing in size but the waters and harbors are becoming shallower.</p><br>
<h2>Climate</h2><br>
<p>The archipelago is only 100 km south of the Arctic Circle, so there is daylight for 24 hours in the summer, and full moon all day in the winter.</p><br>
<p>The waters around the archipelago are brackish, with less the 10% of the salt content of the Atlantic.</p><br>
<p>The sea freezes in January and remain frozen until March–April.</p><br>
<p>Union Church and Cemetery is a historic Episcopal church and cemetery located at Falmouth, Stafford County, Virginia. The property contains the archaeological sites of the 1733 and 1750s Falmouth Anglican churches and the standing remains of the Union Church, built about 1819. The Union Church narthex, measuring 10 feet by 40 feet, is the section remaining from the Federal style building. The building contains an original stairway to the balcony and framing that extends upward to form the belfry which supports an estimated 300-pound bell. Also on the property is the church cemetery with headstones, dating from the 18th and the early 19th centuries through the 20th century. A violent rain storm in 1950 severely damaged the roof of the 40 feet wide by 54 feet long church leading to a collapse of the chancel and nave, leaving only the narthex intact.</p><br>

<p>The building at 320 West Oakdale is a 21-story International Style skyscraper designed by Milton M. Schwartz in Chicago, Illinois.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building at 320 West Oakdale is representative of the apartment building boom in Chicago, Illinois in the 1950s and 1960s. Milton M. Schwartz served as the building&#39;s architect, contractor, and developer, and the building was his first major design. As such, he had complete control over the creative direction of the building, and so was able to tailor it to his interests. Schwartz intended the building to serve as luxury apartments for the city elite. The apartment was designed so that residences had windows in three or four directions. Rooms were designed to resemble single-story ranch homes. The building was one of the first completely air conditioned all-glass apartments in Chicago. Stark in its repetition and simplicity, it is a good example of the International Style. The building was highlighted in a 1955 Architectural Forum article about recent Chicago apartment buildings. In the article, it was compared favorably to nearby works by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. On April 23, 2013, the building was recognized by the National Park Service with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The skyscraper rises 21 stories on a reinforced concrete foundation. The Lake View development in on the north side of Oakdale Avenue at the northern terminus of Commonwealth Avenue. It was built to house 57 residential units, with three on each level starting with the fourth floor; the third floor also had four units. Each floor has full-height glass windows on all sides. Floor slabs extend 3 ft from the exterior walls on floors 3 through 21. However, the ledge over the main entrance is twice as long so that the entryway is protected from ice. The lobby occupies the first two stories. The penthouses on the top floor also have sunroofs.</p><br>

<p>The Dannenfeldt Mausoleum is a historical building and tourist attraction across the road from the 15th-century late Gothic village church in Mönchow, Usedom, Germany.</p><br>
<p>The small cemetery that accompanies the Mönchow church is the final resting place of the Dannenfeldt family. Carl Dannenfeldt commissioned a master mason from Swinemünde named Pistorius to build a mausoleum in the churchyard. The mausoleum, which was completed in 1891, cost the Dannenfeldts 25,000 gold Marks. The mausoleum houses three rooms with the walls made out of stucco. The outside walls are made out of red brick and the overall design is a Baroque style. There are cherubs that decorate the outside, with "Dannenfeldt" inscribed onto them.</p><br>
<p>Descriptions of the mausoleum include "magnificent", "classical" and "remarkable". While elegant, the building has also been described as "pompous" and "grandiose" compared to the church and village that it was built in because of the extravagance of design and associated cost.</p><br>
<p>The mausoleum is considered an attraction for those that are visiting the island of Usedom. The grounds are unrestricted but there is no public access to enter the mausoleum. Currently, the mausoleum is not funded by the Dannenfeldt family or relatives for the restoration that it needs.</p><br>

<p>Stora Hamnskär is an island in the northeast of the Swedish sector of the Bothnian Bay, in the Haparanda archipelago.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Stora Hamnskär lies in the Haparanda archipelago, the part of the Norrbotten archipelago that is included in the Haparanda Municipality.</p><br>
<p>All of the islands in the Haparanda 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>This has contributed to a distinctive ecology.</p><br>
<p>The eastern Gulf of Hamnskär provides a good night harbor except in an easterly wind, and the northeast cape has a good beach.</p><br>
<p>It takes about an hour to reach the island by boat from Saskarö.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The isthmus between Stora Hamnskär and the Prokko Peninsula is mainly covered with grasslands, with flora that shows the influence of limestone.</p><br>
<p>The rest of the island is well-wooded with rowan and alder trees.</p><br>
<p>There are remains of the time when the island was used as a base for fishing.</p><br>
<p>Commercial fishermen still use the surrounding waters.</p><br>
<p>There is an old cabin dating from fishing times, which can be rented, and a modern sleeping cabin.</p><br>
<p>Wells provide water, and there is an old ice cellar.</p><br>
<p>There is also a sauna and a barbecue pit.</p><br>
<h2>Siberian primrose</h2><br>
<p>About 30.3 hectare of the island has been chosen for inclusion in Natura 2000 because it is abundant in Siberian Primrose (Primula nutans),</p><br>
<p>a species listed in the Habitats directive.</p><br>
<p>The protected area consists of the southeast shore of Stora Hamnskär, the Prokko peninsula to the east and the isthmus between Stora Hamnskär and Prokko.</p><br>
<p>The goal is to maintain 2,300 plants.</p><br>
<p>The main danger facing the plants is exploitation of the beaches by humans. There is also a risk of genetic problems due to the small population.</p><br>
<p>The Siberian Primrose is red-listed in the Near Threatened category in Sweden.</p><br>
<p>The plant grows in meadows and boulder beaches. The environment on Stora Hepokari is unstable, because uplift eliminates suitable terrain while new areas appear. The plant&#39;s seeds are wind-dispersed, but may also be carried by water.</p><br>
<p>Torne-Furö is an island in the northeast of the Swedish sector of the Bothnian Bay, in the Haparanda archipelago.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>

<p>The island is about 8 km from the port of Nikkala and 10 km southwest of Haparanda.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The north-eastern tip of the island is surrounded by beautiful beaches.</p><br>
<p>Bathing from these beaches can be dangerous, since in places the sea suddenly becomes deep, and several drownings have occurred.</p><br>
<p>The southern and eastern sides of the island are dominated by boulder beaches.</p><br>
<p>The island is a popular destination for excursions to the islands of the region.</p><br>
<p>There are fireplaces in the northern cape, and a year-round cabin provides shelter.</p><br>
<p>The woodshed contains firewood.</p><br>
<p>Visitors can camp and make fires in designated areas, hike and pick berries and mushrooms.</p><br>
<p>They are not allowed to harm plant or animal life.</p><br>
<h2>Environment</h2><br>
<p>The Torne-Furö nature reserve consists of the island of Torne Furö and the small islet of Vassika.</p><br>
<p>Torne-Furö is thinly wooded, mostly with pines, although vegetation is richer in the wetter southwest of the island.</p><br>
<p>The forest is fringed with deciduous species such as alder, rowan, willow and birch.</p><br>
<p>There are many birds including the common tern, tern, black woodpecker, Eurasian three-toed woodpecker, pygmy owl, boreal owl and black grouse.</p><br>
<p>Torne-Furö is included in the European Union&#39;s Natura 2000 network of protected areas.</p><br>
<p>The western cape forms a peninsula with lush and biologically diverse meadows and deciduous brushwood.</p><br>
<p>The Alabaster Historic District is a 400-acre mining complex in Iosco County, Michigan, centered on an open pit gypsum mine. It is bounded by on the east by Lake Huron, on the north by Gypsum Road, on the south by Keystone Road, and on the west by Rempert Road, south of Tawas City, the county seat. This historic district, where mining started in 1862, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. Gypsum produced here was used to manufacture the temporary buildings of the World&#39;s Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893. The Alabaster Mining Company is still operating here.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Alabaster Historic District, located on the shore of Lake Huron, contains an enormous open pit gypsum mine, with associated processing buildings, shops, and offices. The district also contains the company town, with houses and outbuildings. Most of the worker housing was constructed as 1-1/2-story frame houses with gable roofs. The district also contains a rail line and the remains of an elevated marine tramway running 1-1/2 miles into Saginaw Bay. The district contains 36 buildings developed over a total of 400 acres.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>This location was named "Alabaster" after a variety of gypsum discovered offshore in 1837 by Douglass Houghton. Soon, prospectors began searching for further sources of gypsum in the area, and stumbled upon the deposits at this site. The deposits came to the attention of George B. Smith, whose father, B.F. Smith, owned a gypsum mill in Detroit.</p><br>
<p>George Smith soon died, and ownership changed hands, with his father B.F. Smith purchasing a major share. In 1891, the company was called Western Plaster Works. A fire in 1891 completely destroyed the mining structures, but operations were soon rebuilt. The Alabaster Mine supplied material for construction of the main buildings, known as the "white city," at the World&#39;s Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893.</p><br>
<p>In 1898, the company name was changed to the Alabaster Company. In 1902, the mine was incorporated as the USA Gypsum Corporation. Housing for workers was constructed primarily in the period around 1910, as a company town was established. The mines had attracted many European immigrants as workers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.</p><br>
<p>The most visible and impressive structure in the district, the elevated marine tramway, was not constructed until 1929.</p><br>
<p>The mine is still being operated today (2016).</p><br>
<p>Stora Huvön is an island in the northwest of the Swedish sector of the Bay of Bothnia, in the Kalix archipelago.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Stora Huvön was voted one of Sweden&#39;s most lovely islands in a nationwide poll.</p><br>
<p>It has a fine, natural harbor protected from most winds, with a sandy beach.</p><br>
<p>The beach is very shallow within about 20 m of the shore, then quickly becomes much deeper.</p><br>
<p>Spruce, pine and birch woods surround the bay. To the north of the bay there is another large sandy beach, good for swimming.</p><br>
<p>The western part of the island is rocky, and in several places vertical cliff rise straight from the sea.</p><br>
<p>From the highest point of the island there is a panoramic view of islands in the Kalix and Luleå archipelagos.</p><br>
<p>The island is bisected by a broad and deep gorge, with rock walls as much as 25 to 30 m high, and with lesser ravines leading from it.</p><br>
<p>A field of shingle extends across the island, made up of small stones polished by glacial action. In some parts they are moss-covered.</p><br>
<p>There is a small, ancient maze in the center of the shingle field, beside a path that crosses the island.</p><br>
<p>Bergön is an island in the northwest of the Swedish sector of the Bay of Bothnia, in the Kalix archipelago. The north end of the island has facilities for recreational boating. The southern part, which is used for forestry, has been proposed as the site for a wind farm.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Bergön is 20 km southwest of the city of Kalix in Norrbotten County. It lies to the northwest of the island of Rånön.</p><br>
<p>The island is owned by a forestry company, which has large scale forestry operations. The north and south of the island are designated municipal conservation areas, while there are no special conservation rules for the central area. Sami use Bergön for winter grazing for their reindeer herds.</p><br>
<p>The white-tailed eagle has been reported to nest on the island.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The National Heritage Board has records of tar pits, an old shipbuilding site and a former fishing village.</p><br>
<p>A map of Bergön from 1779 shows an area on its eastern side marked as "Old Shipyard".</p><br>
<p>At that time the island would have had a good supply of long, straight, high-quality spruce that could be used for the ships.</p><br>
<p>The location today is a small bay with a sandy beach.</p><br>
<p>There are traces of a slipway, the foundation of a large building, and a large charcoal pit where tar would have been extracted.</p><br>
<p>A barque named "Gustaf" was built on Bergön in 1776, but was wrecked in rough weather off Holmön when only 13 hours into her maiden voyage.</p><br>
<h2>Boating facilities</h2><br>
<p>Bergön has three ports: Gårdsviken, Kohamn and Harabolaviken.</p><br>
<p>The Törevägen boatclub has their facility at Gårdsviken on the north side, and they also take care of the two facilities of the Kalix Municipality.</p><br>
<p>There is a barbecue area, a fine hexagonal sauna and an outhouse.</p><br>
<p>Kohamn is a Kalix Municipality facility in a small lagoon on the island&#39;s northeastern side.</p><br>
<p>It has two floating docks, toilets, barbecues with wood and garbage containers.</p><br>
<p>Harabolviken is also a municipal facility, near to Kohamn, with a floating dock, outhouse and barbecue area with wood.</p><br>
<h2>Proposed wind farm</h2><br>
<p>In 2011 wpd Scandinavia AB said it was studying the possibility of building a wind farm in Bergön.</p><br>
<p>It would have up to 31 wind turbines with a maximum overall height of 200 m.</p><br>
<p>The wind farm would mostly lie within the recent or planned forest harvesting areas, re-using forestry roads so as to minimize environmental impact.</p><br>
<p>If 31 turbines each of 3.2 MW were built, the farm could produce 360 GWH per year,</p><br>
<p>rather more than the total electrical consumption of the Kalix municipality in 2009.</p><br>
<p>The wind power would be sufficient to supply more than 71,000 homes with electricity.</p><br>
<p>A submarine cable would be needed to link the island to the mainland.</p><br>
<p>The Norrbotten County administrative board would have to approve construction of the plant, roads and power lines.</p><br>
<p>It was planned to consult with stakeholders, then submit the project for approval in late 2012.</p><br>
<p>The project would not come on stream before 2015.</p><br>
<p>The first public consultation was held in March 2012. Another consultation was planned for the summer so that people with summer homes within sight of the turbines could be consulted.</p><br>
<p>The wind farm would be 3 to 5 km from Degerö Börstskär and Båtön in the Luleå Municipality, which was also invited to consult.</p><br>
<p>A May 2012 report said the public reaction had been generally favorable.</p><br>
<p>Saoyú-ʔehdacho  is a cultural landscape in the Northwest Territories, Canada, comprising two peninsulas in Great Bear Lake. The site has great cultural and spiritual significance for the Sahtu people, as it is considered sacred land and it features prominently in their oral histories.</p><br>
<h2>Natural and cultural heritage</h2><br>
<p>Saoyú-ʔehdacho is 5,587 km&sup2; in size, approximately the size of the province of Prince Edward Island, and consists of two peninsulas: Saoyú (Grizzly Bear Mountain) and ʔehdacho (Scented Grass Hills). The peninsulas are both characterized by flat summits, approximately 725 and above sea level respectively. The perimeters of both promontories feature a series of raised beaches, formed by the post-glacial rebound, which contain the majority of the known evidence of human occupation of the lands, including archaeological resources related to pre-contact occupation from over 5000 years ago.</p><br>
<h2>National Historic Site</h2><br>
<p>Saoyú-ʔehdacho was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1997, on the basis that the landscape, its cultural resources (including graves, trails and cabins) and its associated oral histories contribute to an understanding of the origin, spiritual values, lifestyle and land-use of the Sahtu Dene. In 2001 and 2005, the federal government enacted withdrawal orders under the Territorial Lands Act, prohibiting the registration of new mineral claims or other third party interests against the Saoyú-ʔehdacho lands. In 2007, Parks Canada entered into an agreement with the Déline First Nation to permanently protect and cooperatively manage the site, with surface title to the Crown lands portion of the site (constituting 80% of the overall land) transferred to Parks Canada from Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada in 2009. In 2011, an Order in Council increased the legal protection for Crown-owned portions of the site by applying regulatory protections under the National Parks Act to the lands.</p><br>
<p>Saoyú-ʔehdacho is the largest National Historic Site of Canada in land area. Saoyú-ʔehdacho is also:</p><br>
<p>the first National Historic Site both designated and acquired on the basis of consultation with Aboriginal peoples</p><br>
<p>the first National Historic Site in Northern Canada cooperatively managed by Parks Canada and an aboriginal group</p><br>
<p>the first National Historic Site in the Northwest Territories in which Parks Canada is involved in the administration; and</p><br>
<p>the first cultural landscape in Northern Canada commemorated by the Government of Canada.</p><br>
<p>Saoyú-ʔehdacho is also the first site to be protected under the territorial government&#39;s Protected Areas Strategy, a consultative process created with the involvement of the federal and territorial governments, aboriginal groups, environmental groups and industry, with the objective of establishing a network of protected areas across the Northwest Territories.</p><br>
<h2>Name</h2><br>
<p>In the Slavey language, "Saoyú" means "belonging to the bear" and "ʔehdacho" means "big point".</p><br>
<p>When the site was first designated a National Historic Site in 1997, it was named Scented Grass Hills and Grizzly Bear Mountain. It was subsequently renamed Sahoyúé-§ehdacho, and again renamed to Saoyú-Æehdacho in June 2008 in an attempt to better reflect the Slavey name for the site. In June 2010, the cooperative management board for the site, made up of representatives of Parks Canada, the Déline Renewable Resources Council and the Déline Land Corporation, adopted the spelling Saoyú-ʔehdacho. The Status of Designation Committee of the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada approved the official name change for the National Historic Site in October 2010.</p><br>
<p>The Heritage House Museum is a museum complex in Okawville, Illinois. The museum comprises three of the village&#39;s historic homes: the Frank Schlosser Complex, the Dr. Robert C. Poos Home, and the Joseph Schlosser Home. The three homes are open for public tours led by the Okawville Chamber of Commerce.</p><br>
<h2>Frank Schlosser Complex</h2><br>
<p>The Frank Schlosser Complex, located on West Walnut Street, includes the home and businesses of Frank Schlosser and his family. Frank Schlosser, an Okawville native born in 1867, opened a harness shop on the property in 1890. Schlossers wife Sophia and his two daughters, Elsie and Estelle, operated a laundry in the back of the harness shop, which mainly catered to guests at Okawvilles mineral spas. In 1908, the family built a house on the property. The wood frame house was designed in a vernacular style and features boxed eaves, a gable roof, and an open front porch. A two-story barn and several outbuildings are also located on the property. The complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>After Schlossers daughters died in 1982, the home became a museum. The contents of the house are preserved from the time the Schlossers live there and portray the lifestyle of middle-class Okawville residents in the early 1900s. In addition, as the harness shop was shuttered from its closure in 1941 to the museums establishment, its contents were preserved in their natural state and protected from light and other environmental damage. The laundry, which operated through the 1970s, contains the historic laundry equipment used by the sisters. The family&#39;s surrey and 1930 Buick are located in the barn; the surrey is occasionally used for events.</p><br>
<h2>Joseph Schlosser House</h2><br>
<p>The Joseph Schlosser House, located across the street from the Frank Schlosser Complex, is a brick home built circa 1869. Joseph Schlosser, the father of Frank Schlosser, lived in the house with his wife and two sons. Schlosser, a Bavarian immigrant, ran a cobbler&#39;s shop from the home. The home is the last remaining Old World-style house, a type of house built near the street, in Okawville. The house includes period furniture from the post-Civil War era, little of which is original. The Okawville Chamber of Commerce headquarters and the Heritage House Museum headquarters are located in the home.</p><br>
<h2>Dr. Robert C. Poos Home</h2><br>
<p>The Dr. Robert C. Poos Home, located at 202 North Front Street, is a Second Empire house constructed in 1888. The house was owned by Dr. Robert C. Poos, a local doctor and staff physician at the Washington Springs Hotel and Bathhouse. Poos built an outbuilding on his property which he intended to use as a privately run bathhouse; however, after failing to acquire mineral water, Poos never actually opened the bathhouse. Poos&#39; family lived in the house until the 1980s and donated it to the Heritage House Museum in 1991. The house is now a museum of Victorian furnishings and artifacts and includes a collection of historic photographs of Okawville; the bathhouse houses a museum of medical instruments.</p><br>
