<p>The Scottville School, also known as the Old School House, is a school located at 209 North Main Street in Scottville, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Scottville School was constructed in 1888, and served as Scottville&#39;s only school until the 1950s. Additions were made to the school in 1893, 1903, 1911, and 1927. It was used as the high school and middle school until 1976, when the Mason County Central Middle School was built.</p><br>
<p>After closing, the building was used by Faith Tech, a Christian training school. and the building was vacant for years until being opened as a retail outlet in the 1990s. That closed in 1996, and it sat vacant again until 2012, when it was purchased by John Wilton, who began refurbishing it.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Scottville School is a large brick structure, originally constructed in 1888 but with multiple later additions that altered its footprint. An additional single story frame building, measuring 20 ft by 30 ft, is also part of the complex.</p><br>
<p>The main brick building is a symmetrical cross-shaped structure with hipped roof projecting center and wings, and a pyramid-roofed central square tower. Three gabled dormers project from the front. Both the central projection (1903) and the wings (1911) are additions to the original square plan of the building. A flat-roofed gymnasium is attached to the rear of the building.</p><br>
<p>The facade has broad, round-topped doorways and tall, square, transomed windows. Interior passageways around the central foyer are arched, and a central double staircase rises in the center.</p><br>
<p>The Fred Baldwin Memorial Home was built in 1910 and endowed by Emily and Henry Perrine Baldwin to provide housing for elderly Hawaiian and haole men. It is named for their son Fred Baldwin . Its architect was H. L. Kerr, who had earlier designed the Old Wailuku Courthouse. In 2011, it was restored by Xorin Balbes to operate as an educational retreat named Lumeria Maui. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on 1 December 2011.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Fred Chambers Baldwin, one of eight children of Emily and Henry P. Baldwin, had graduated from Yale University in 1903, then returned to Maui and to manage Ha‘ikū and Grove ranches. He died at age 24 while visiting relatives in New York, after falling ill and undergoing surgery for appendicitis. Fred was "handsome and charismatic," the most popular of his siblings, and had aspired to manage Haleakala Ranch. Many people lined the roads as his coffin was carried from Kahului Harbor up to the family home at Olinda.</p><br>
<p>Many of the early residents were veterans of World War I and are buried in nearby Makawao Cemetery. During World War II, they were moved to the Pioneer Inn in Lahaina and the facility was converted to a military hospital until wars end. For most of its existence, from 1911 to 1958, the home was run by Ethel Baldwin, the wife of Freds brother Henry Alexander Baldwin, and their daughter Frances, who married J. Walter Cameron of Maui Pineapple Company.</p><br>
<p>After 1958, the buildings provided dormitory space for Maunaolu Seminary. Then Maui Land & Pineapple Company bought the property and housed summer workers there from 1982 until the 1990s. After that, the buildings remained unused until 2009, when they were purchased by SoulSpace Ranch, who undertook the renovation.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>In 1910-1911, Kahului Railroad Company construction crews built the original five buildings in a U-shaped plan around a central lawn and landscape garden. The wooden buildings reflect a primarily American Craftsman style, but with some Neo-classical and vernacular Japanese details. Although the buildings had fallen into disuse, the 2010-2011 renovation was able to preserve much of the original structure and detail.</p><br>
<p>The McMorran and Washburne Department Store Building, also known as the Tiffany Building, is a four-story commercial structure in Eugene, Oregon. The original two-story building was constructed in 1902 by Nels Roney as a dry goods store owned by former Eugene mayor J. H. McClung. The building was expanded to four stories in 1913.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>John H. McClung arrived in Oregon and began farming in 1856. With his uncle, he established the first drug store in Eugene in 1859. In 1902 he built the two-story McClung Building at Eighth and Willamette, operating a dry goods store under the name, Cockerline and Fraley. The building featured elements of what came to be known as Chicago commercial style, with large display windows and reduced ornamentation.</p><br>
<p>George H. McMorran and Carl G. Washburne became business partners, opening a dry goods store in 1909. The two had worked as store clerks for Samuel H. Friendly in Eugene. In 1913 McMorran and Washburne purchased and renovated the McClung building, adding two floors. McMorran and Washburne became Eugene&#39;s premiere dry goods store, and in 1927 the store outgrew its location and was moved to a new building at the corner of Broadway and Willamette.McMorran and Washburne occupied the new building until 1939, when J.C. Penney opened at the site. In the 1970s when J.C. Penney vacated the building, the name became the Center Court Building. A history of the Center Court Building is here:</p><br>
<p>When McMorran and Washburne vacated the building, it was purchased by drugstore owners Albert Tiffany and George Davis, and the name was changed to the Tiffany Building.Tiffany-Davis had moved from across the street, having started business two years prior.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places March 2, 1989, under the historic name, McMorran and Washburne Department Store Building.</p><br>
<h2>Current usage</h2><br>
<p>Restaurant and retail businesses occupy the ground floor of the building, and the three upper stories have been converted to apartments.</p><br>
<p>The Lot Hathaway House is a historic residence near East Claridon in the Connecticut Western Reserve region of the USA state of Ohio. Constructed in the early nineteenth century for a transplanted New Englander, the house mixes two of the period&#39;s prominent architectural styles, and it has been named a historic site.</p><br>
<h2>Lot Hathaway</h2><br>
<p>A native of Freetown, Massachusetts, Lot Hathaway performed military service in the War of 1812 It succeeded an earlier residence, which had been destroyed by fire.</p><br>
<h2>House</h2><br>
<p>Built in the Greek Revival style with Adam style influences, the house is a weatherboarded structure, two stories tall, with a broad pediment that extends the width of the house. Entrances are located on the left sides of both the front and the side, which are divided into three and four bays respectively. Among the clearest of the Adam details are the numerous dentils on the pediment, while the Greek Revival remains prominent through elements such as the fluting on both the Ionic-style capitals and the pilasters.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>In 1974, the Lot Hathaway House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places; it was the countys second site to be given this distinction, following only the Claridon Congregational Church, although the courthouse square in Chardon was given a similar distinction just two days later. Hathways house qualified for designation because of its architecture, due to its place as one of the area&#39;s best Greek Revival houses.</p><br>
<p>St. Luke&#39;s Episcopal Church is an historic Episcopal church in Forest Hills, Queens, a neighborhood of New York City. It was built in three phases that were completed in 1925, 1929, and 1940. The architect was Robert Tappan. The style, described as Collegiate Gothic with Arts and Crafts influences, was chosen to harmonize with surrounding houses in the upscale Forest Hills Gardens development. Tappan was a resident of Forest Hills Gardens and a member of the church, and took no fees for his work. In 1950 a parish house was added, designed by architect Steward Wagner, who was also a resident of the Gardens and a member of the nearby The Church-in-the-Gardens.</p><br>
<p>The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<p>Barn House is the site of a summer artists colony in Chilmark, Massachusetts, on the island of Marthas Vineyard. The property includes one of the oldest houses in Chilmark, a barn dating from the 1780s, and facilities constructed primarily during the 1920s by the Chilmark Associates to facilitate its use as a summer retreat. The property represents aspects of the island&#39;s development from its agrarian origins to a summer vacation destination.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>English settlement of the island of Martha&#39;s Vineyard began in 1641. One early settler in what is now Chilmark, Massachusetts was Nathan Skiffe, who established a 50 acre sheep farm in 1686. The raising of sheep continued to be a major business in Chilmark into the 19th century, and his property continued to be used for that purpose by descendants and extended family members into the early 20th century. Skiffe built a house on the property in about 1690. Evidence indicates that some of the timbers used in its construction may have been recycled from other structures, likely hauled from elsewhere on the island. In addition to the house, the only major structure to survive into the 20th century is a barn, dated to the 1780s.</p><br>
<p>In 1919 Gertrude King acquired 43 acre, including the house and barn, on behalf of a group friends who eventually organized as the Chilmark Associates. This group of well-to-do liberal artists, writers, and activists sought to adapt the property for use as a communal summer retreat. To this end they adapted the barn for use as a dining and meeting center for their community, and constructed a series of cabins in which to live. In 1927 they formally named the property "Barn House". The membership of the Chilmark Associates fluctuated over time. Notable members and guests included journalist Walter Lippman, jurist Felix Frankfurter, judge and political activist Dorothy Kenyon, painter Thomas Hart Benton, and poet Sylvia Plath.</p><br>
<h2>District elements</h2><br>
<p>Barn House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011. The district&#39;s contributing elements include the following buildings:</p><br>
<p>Barn House, c. 1690</p><br>
<p>Barn, c. 1786</p><br>
<p>A shed, c. 1850</p><br>
<p>Seven cabins, constructed between 1920 and 1959</p><br>
<p>The following resources also contribute:</p><br>
<p>The property&#39;s stone walls, which appear to date to the 18th century</p><br>
<p>A stone-slab culvert over a stream, dating to the 19th century</p><br>
<p>Non-contributing resources in the district include a tennis court and bath house, as well as a c. 2001 cabin.</p><br>
<p>Elmwood Hall is a historic residence in Ludlow, located in the Kentucky portions of the Cincinnati metropolitan area in the United States. Located atop a prominent Ohio River vantage point, it has been named a historic site.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Thomas Carneal was among the first men of early Kenton County. He established his name as one of the founders of the nearby city of Covington, where in 1816 he built the citys first brick house. Both the Covington house (now known as the Carneal House) and Elmwood Hall dominate the surrounding neighborhoods like manor houses. When the city of Ludlow was founded, it was a planned community whose owners had conceived a detailed plan for the whole settlement, with the goal of drawing élite residents. If Carneals plan were to contribute to this goal by setting community standards with his two houses, he failed in Ludlow, but he succeeded in Covington, where his residence today sits at the core of the Riverside Drive Historic District.</p><br>
<p>During some of the houses earliest years, it was home to a locally prominent politician; Carneal won election to the Kentucky General Assembly later in his life. Since that time, the house has served a range of purposes: among its other residents have been English naturalist William Bullock and Israel Ludlow, whose father Israel was the citys namesake and had helped to found Cincinnati.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Designed by nationally prominent architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe, Elmwood Hall sits atop a hill, and from its octagonal cupola and widows walk, one may see many miles along the Ohio River either to the east or to the west. The houses front faces the river to the north, featuring a grand double door with fanlight, sidelights, a tall staircase, and carven trim, but all of the houses other sides also include extensive detailing. Both sides encompass porches with railings and six narrow columns. The building is topped with a hip roof rising to the widows walk, which is surrounded by a railing identical to the ones found on the porches. Extensive original woodworking survives without substantial changes, and virtually all other woodwork, including the doors and the window frames, also remain with little damage.</p><br>
<p>Some of the original exterior walls have been modified; for example, some of the brick exterior walls have been covered with cement plaster, while the western porch has been converted into a bay window in order to expand the interior space, although the original columns have been saved. The foundation is of limestone, carefully dressed. Like the exterior walls, most of the interior walls are brick, while some framing is yellow poplar with occasional pine floorboards in addition to the extensive ash on the floors and in the lintels.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>By the late twentieth century, the house had been converted for commercial use, becoming the offices of the Thomas Candy Company. Despite the radical change in its uses, the house remains in fine condition. Although the original ash floors are no longer easily visible, this is purely because of a protective covering that the candy company installed to prevent damage from foot traffic and its machinery. In recognition of its exceptional degree of preservation, the house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in August 1972; it was the second location in Kenton County to be given this distinction, although more than sixty different locations in the county now possess it, including the Riverside Drive Historic District in which Carneal&#39;s other house is located.</p><br>
<p>Toondah Harbour, located in Redland City at Cleveland in southern Moreton Bay, is the location of the Stradbroke Island Ferry Terminal used by water taxis and vehicular ferries to provide access to North Stradbroke Island.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Toondah Harbour is named after a vessel, the steamer "Toondah", which was used to survey and beacon channels in Moreton Bay.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The harbour is situated south of Cleveland Point in an area of coastal wetlands featuring sandbanks, mudflats and mangroves. The area is naturally shallow but the Fison Channel has been dredged to provide access for vehicular ferries which connect Cleveland to Dunwich on North Stradbroke Island.</p><br>
<p>Cassim Island, an area of sandbanks and mangroves located to the north of Toondah Harbour, provides shelter from northerly winds. The island is named after William Cassim, an early Cleveland hotel keeper. Cassim Island provides a high value habitat for wading birds and other mangrove fauna.</p><br>
<h2>Environment</h2><br>
<p>The marine and coastal area around the harbour is situated within internationally significant wetlands which form part of the Moreton Bay Ramsar site. Tidal flats, mangroves and seagrass beds provide important habitats for fish, crustaceans and:</p><br>
<p>Green turtle</p><br>
<p>Loggerhead turtle</p><br>
<p>the internationally vulnerable dugong a large sea mammal from the order Sirenia which also includes manatee species</p><br>
<p>43 species of shorebirds including 30 migratory bird species listed by international migratory bird conservation agreements. These migratory bird species, including the vulnerable eastern curlew, the bar-tailed godwit and the grey-tailed tattler, use this area in their journey through the East Asian–Australasian Flyway</p><br>
<p>Southern right whales have been observed visiting this area each year since 2002. This species is listed as endangered under Australia&#39;s EPBC Act.</p><br>
<h2>Development</h2><br>
<p>Secret plans for a 400 berth marina, foreshore development and multi-level residential, retail and commercial developments were discussed by the Redland City Council in 2007 under former Mayor Don Secombe.</p><br>
<p>On 10 January 2014 the Queensland Government released a proposed development scheme for the Toondah Harbour Priority Development Area in Cleveland which would allow development of a large marina up to 800 berths in southern Moreton Bay between Toondah Harbour, G.J. Walter Park and Cassim Island. This proposal has been opposed by marine planning experts and various environmentally concerned community groups including the Bay Wilderness Society.</p><br>
<p>A number of Queensland architects and planners reviewed the scheme at an Urban Design Workshop. The workshop Convenor said the group found the current Toondah scheme "too large, unfeasible and risky". He said the workshop recommended smaller developments across the city linking Raby Bay with Cleveland&#39;s CBD and the ferry terminal. Inclement prevailing winds, traffic bottlenecking, flooding, site pollution, significant environmental complications and native title uncertainty are some of the risks identified for any real estate development in the Toondah Harbour area.</p><br>
<p>On 23 February approximately 300 people attended a rally to protest against the Governments plans to "carve up" the G.J. Walter Park as part of its Toondah Harbour redevelopment proposal. On 4 March 2014 a petition with 1,211 signatures calling for the Governments plans to be withdrawn was tabled in the Queensland Parliament.</p><br>
<p>On 19 March the Council decided to ask the Queensland Government to make some changes to the plan which include reducing building heights from 15 storeys to 10 and a 400-berth marina at Toondah Harbour instead of 800 berths. In March 2014 the Government indicated that it was preparing an amended development scheme.</p><br>
<p>In April 2014 the Redland City Council released copies of various "expert reports" used to prepare the proposed development scheme together with revised artists impressions of the proposed development.</p><br>
<p>On 31 May 2014 an approved development scheme was released together with a lengthy report on the 583 submissions received during the consultation period.</p><br>
<p>Brook Arts Center, formerly Brook Theatre , is a historic theater in Bound Brook, New Jersey. It was designed by William E. Lehman. Originally a 1,300-seat vaudeville house, the theater was the hub of a theater district serving surrounding towns and counties. As motion pictures took over in the 1930s, the theater became a performing arts center and first-run movie house, operating until the floods of 1999 and 2007 required extensive rebuilding.</p><br>
<p>The theater is notable for its contributions to Bound Brook and remains the only surviving vaudeville theater in Somerset County.</p><br>
<p>The theater has suffered flood damage, and no longer puts on its own productions, although it does rent out its space. The theater now has a total of 630 seats, less than half of its original capacity.</p><br>
<p>The Indiana Theatre is a historic theater in Terre Haute, Indiana. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 13, 1997 and is located in the Wabash Avenue-East Historic District. It opened on January 28, 1922. The theatre was built by Terre Haute resident T. W. Barhydt and was designed by John Eberson. Eberson, who later developed the atmospheric theater style of movie palace, first experimented with atmospheric design elements at the theatre. Eberson stated, "Into this Indiana Theatre I have put my very best efforts and endeavors in the art of designing a modern theatre such as I have often pictured as what I would do were I given a free hand." Through this quote Eberson confirms that the Indiana Theatre embodies his vision of a dream theater that marked the shift to his atmospheric style.</p><br>
<p>Throughout its history, the theatre has hosted a wide range of events that have included vaudeville, cinema, performing arts and community celebrations of all types. Long time employees remember nostalgic entertainers such as Frank Sinatra, Red Skelton, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, Jack Burns, and the Marx Brothers Road Shows at the Indiana Theater. The Indiana Theatre was chosen as the site for the world premiere screening of Disney&#39;s McFarland, USA on November 20, 2014.</p><br>
<p>Through restoration efforts which began in May 2013, the Indiana Theatre’s heritage has been preserved and the Indiana has been reborn as a 1,600 seat full service event center which can host a wide range of community gatherings that include live entertainment, performing arts, cinema, wedding events, and fundraisers.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>The John Schumacher Company of Indianapolis was the builder and the cost of construction was $1,000,000 in 1922 dollars. Construction consisted of 1,665,000 bricks, 7,250 yards of excavation, 24,500 s.f. of cement floor, and 283 tons of steel. All fabrication and plaster work was prepared onsite and the project design and construction was completed in 18+ months. The theater lighting system was the most modern system in the nation. The Indiana Theatre was originally built for vaudeville and silent movies but was adapted to talking movies as vaudeville faded from prominence. Originally, the building façade featured an enormous peacock which consisted of 3,000 lights and “lit up the corner of 7th and Ohio like nothing ever seen before".</p><br>
<h2>Opening Night</h2><br>
<p>On January 27, 1922 dignitaries were invited for a sneak preview of the Theatre. On this night T.W. Barhydt received telegrams from Paramount stars in Hollywood: Bebe Daniels, Gloria Swanson, Rudolph Valentino, Jack Holt, Betty Compton, Wallace Reid, and Adolph Zukor. The Indiana Theatre opened its doors to the public on January 28, 1922. Movie tickets were 25 cents before 6pm and 40 cents after 6pm, a ticket to sit in one of the boxes was 50 cents, and children under 12 were admitted for 10 cents. Theatre staff were dressed for the opening in authentic Spanish attire and live peacocks roamed through the Theatre. A 30 piece orchestra played an overture before the opening silent movie, Cappy Ricks. The first talking movie was shown in the Indiana Theatre on March 13, 1929. The orchestra was directed by Raymond B. Townsley. Old fashioned songs were sung by Jackson Murray and Marion Mills. A fashion show with clothing from Siegel’s department store was part of the opening activities. In addition to the movie Cappy Ricks and the Siegel’s fashion show, there were five acts of Broadway vaudeville, short subjects, and a prologue.</p><br>
<h2>Theodore W. Barhydt</h2><br>
<p>The Founding President of the Indiana Theatre was T.W. Barhydt. Mr. Barhydt was the driving force to build the Indiana Theatre with family roots in Opera, Theatre and Vaudeville. Mr. Barhydt was prominent in Terre Haute business with ties to the Terre Haute House Hotel, Grand Opera House (1897), Varieties Theatre (1907), Hippodrome Theatre (Terre Haute, Indiana) (Scottish Rite Temple 1916), and Indiana Theatre Corporation (Formed 1920). The Hippodrome is the oldest remaining vaudeville theater in America which was built at the cost of $100,000. John Eberson was the architect and designer of the Hippodrome, TW Barhydt’s personal residence, and the Indiana Theatre. Mr. Barhydt built the Indiana Theatre as a gift of appreciation to Terre Haute because he wanted to erase the perception of Terre Haute being a “One Street Town” (Wabash Avenue – Highway 40).</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The Indiana Theatre was designed to emulate the warmth and carefree lifestyle of Spanish Andalusia and the spirit of its people. The ceiling styles were drawn from Moorish designs with the lobby figurines and other building features influenced by Southern Italy. The Theatre was designed to take visitors through the Lifecycle Of A Day with vibrant daybreak, daytime warmth and mystic nightfall. The Rotunda colors shift from light pastel in the churrigueresque to fierce reds and golds of a sunrise in the railing, leaving the remnants of dawn in the deep burgundys of the dome sky. The Lobby Ballroom simulates the more subdued colors and imagery of daytime to transition visitors from morning to nightfall; 38 male & female statues line both sides and an ornate ceiling with even more faces to fill the lobby with life. The Auditorium represents the mystic mystery of nightfall and guests experience the deep tones of reds, blues, and browns. The original lighting system scattered light across the ceiling with special crystal bulb enclosures to simulate a star field. This is in line with the atmospheric design of the ceiling resembling the open sky.</p><br>
<p>The auditorium was designed without a true balcony; this was intended to make the auditorium reminiscent of a Roman amphitheater built on a hillside. The continuous rise in the seating assured better viewing for all seating. The 6,000 bulb lighting system was greatly hyped prior to the Theatre opening. Lights were rheostatically controlled and could be dimmed to create any color. The opening night program stated “the lighting effects represent in a wonderful manner the Andalusian sunshine in the outer lobbies while one is in the midst of mystic twilight in the main auditorium.” Originally, the projector was in a glass booth in the center of the auditorium, 78 feet from the screen. There was an intercom system so ushers could communicate with others in the auditorium to check on the availability of seats. Part of the system still exits by the Lobby entrance doors.</p><br>
<h2>The Theatre today</h2><br>
<p>Significant paint and plasterwork restoration has been completed around the building and 300 theatre seats were removed to make way for a flat terrace in the auditorium. The orchestra pit was also covered, except for a section that will be the future home of an antique Wurlitzer pipe organ console. The terrace and covered orchestra pit provide valuable open floor space to make the auditorium more versatile and capable of table seating. The terrace can accommodate 175 for table seating and the orchestra deck can hold 25. The lobby can accommodate 200. Portable bars are available in the auditorium and lobby as well. Other upgrades include digital projection, a new sound system, and LED atmospheric lighting. Future upgrades include new theatre seats and expansion in other areas of the building to provide more space for events and amenities.</p><br>
<p>The Tashmoo Springs Pumping Station is a historic waterworks facility in Tisbury, Massachusetts, on the island of Marthas Vineyard. The pump station and associated works were first constructed by private interests in the 1880s to provide a reliable water supply for the burgeoning resort areas of Tisbury as well as the port of Vineyard Haven. The facilities were taken over by the town in the early 20th century, after which some alterations were made to accommodate technological improvements. Followinga series of hurricanes in the mid-20th century, which highlighted the risks of the stations location and ability to provide reliable drinking water, the town abandoned the facility. Since then it has been largely abandoned, although it was used in the 1990s by a bottled water interest, and some work has been done to preserve the Late Victorian main pumping station building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The town of Tisbury, Massachusetts occupies the West Chop portion of the island of Marthas Vineyard. It is separated from neighboring West Tisbury by a line including Lake Tashmoo, a saltwater lake on the western side of the chop, and a freshwater spring that fed the lake. The Tisbury area was settled in the 17th century, and has since then been home to the islands major port, Vineyard Haven.</p><br>
<p>The northern reaches of West Chop were used for agriculture well into the 19th century. Interest in developing the area as a summer resort began in the 1870s with several failed proposals, but began in a serious way in the 1880s with the establishment of the West Chop Land Company. Financial interests in that company, seeking a reliable water supply for the growing development, formed the Vineyard Haven Water Company in 1886. This company purchased 30 acre of land, including Tashmoo Spring and lakefront on Lake Tashmoo, and in 1887 constructed a steam-powered pumping station at a cost of $48.300. It was the island&#39;s first water pumping station.</p><br>
<p>The pumping station was powered by two steam engines, and drew water from the lake. It was delivered by a series of pipes to the new development at West Chop, and to Vineyard Haven, where it supplied water for a few fire hydrants and private homes. It was relatively quickly found to be inadequate for the needs of water supply and of fire prevention, and the private company was criticized for its high rates. The town took over the facility from the company in 1905 by eminent domain.</p><br>
<p>Between 1905 and 1931 the town expanded the capacity of the system, and introduced new technology to improve its reliability, building an addition onto the main station in 1907. The facility was converted from steam power to electricity in 1919, necessitating further alterations to the plant to accommodate new equipment.</p><br>
<p>In 1932 a major hurricane breached the sandbar that separate Lake Tashmoo from the Atlantic Ocean. This increased the salinity of the water in the lake, and highlighted to the town the risks of the facilitys location to its water supply. It consequently constructed a dike to isolate a portion of upper end of the lake from saltwater incursion. This dike was breached by a hurricane 1944, introducing salt water into the stations intake well. Hurricane Carol in 1954 swamped the pumphouse, disabling the equipment. By this time the town had already begun seeking alternatives to the Tashmoo Spring supply, and a new well was able to supply the town during the outage. The town stopped using the Tashmoo Spring facility as its primary water supply in 1971.</p><br>
<p>After that the facilities fell into decline. They were briefly revived in the 1980s by a private interest that sold Tashmoo Spring Bottled Water until 1999. The town has since then taken steps to restore the main pumping station&#39;s roof, and has placed a preservation restriction on the building. 17 acre of land area, encompassing the surviving elements of the water works, were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<p>The Schnull–Rauch House, sometimes referred to as the Victorian Manor and now also branded as The Manor at The Children&#39;s Museum of Indianapolis, is a National Register of Historic Places-designated Romanesque Revival historic home constructed in the early 20th century at 3050 North Meridian Street, in the Meridian-Kessler neighborhood north of downtown Indianapolis.</p><br>
<p>In 1979, the building was donated by John Rauch Jr. to the Junior League of Indianapolis to be used for their headquarters and operated as an event venue and house museum. In 2009, the building was purchased by The Children&#39;s Museum of Indianapolis, which sits on adjacent property, and is currently an event venue.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The land on which the house was built was purchased by Gustav A. and Matilda Mayer Schnull, of the wealthy Schnull merchant family, in 1901. They worked together with the architect Bernard Vonnegut of Vonnegut and Bohn, who was the husband of Matildas sister in designing the house, and the Brandt Brothers firm built it. Construction began in the fall of 1902, and the Schnulls and their three daughters moved in on April 4, 1904. After Matildas death in 1923, their daughter Gertrude and her husband John G. Rauch, a lawyer who became president of the Art Association of Indianapolis, joined Gustav in the home. The house remained a residence for the Rauch family until the late 1970s, and kept its original furnishings and design into the modern era.</p><br>
<p>After John Rauch died in February 1978, his son John Rauch Jr. worked with the Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana to conduct a study on the future use of the home, intending to donate it for community use. There was serious consideration given to converting the building into the official mayors residence, official city reception house, a community center, a house museum, or allowing The Childrens Museum of Indianapolis to absorb it. After city use of the building was ruled out due to the taxpayer expense that would be required for its upkeep, the Rauch family eventually decided to donate it to the Junior League of Indianapolis. The first floor remained true to the original decorations, and was used for receptions and as a museum, while the second floor was rented for other non-profits&#39; use, and the third floor was reserved for the Junior League headquarters. The Junior League moved its headquarters to the building and constructed a parking lot in 1981, and in 1983 it completed the restoration of the structure. The house was built to be used for entertaining, with a spacious ballroom with a dance floor, formal drawing room, and library, and these features have allowed it to continue to be used as a popular venue for weddings and other events; by the 1990s, reservations were required a year in advance for wedding receptions due to its popularity.</p><br>
<p>The Childrens Museum of Indianapolis purchased the property from the Junior League in 2008, to be used for events. In the spring of 2013, the house was renovated as part of the St. Margarets Hospital Guilds annual Decorators Show House and Gardens charity event. The Childrens Museum brands the building as "The Manor at The Childrens Museum of Indianapolis".</p><br>
<h2>Architectural and historical significance</h2><br>
<p>The three-story structure is described as Romanesque Revival architecture. The house was originally decorated with oriental rugs from Persia, moire silk wallpaper, several ornate mantles, stained glass windows, heavy velvet curtains, hand-carved woodwork, inlaid hardwood floors, and marble bathrooms—much of which survives to the present. The building is unique in being the only remaining historic home of its era along Meridian Street not to have been demolished or remodeled as offices. The house also exhibits many surviving objects from the Schnull and Mayer German immigrant families to which Gustav and Matilda Schnull belonged, prominent in the Indianapolis banking and wholesaling industries in the late nineteenth century.</p><br>
<p>Called "one of the best-designed of the city&#39;s Meridian Street mansions" by the Indianapolis Historic Preservation Commission, the house is also an outstanding example of the architecture of Bernard Vonnegut, a German-trained architect and the first licensed architect in Indiana, who designed many other Indianapolis landmarks. He took a special interest in the house, as he was personally designing it for his brother- and sister-in-law. He also designed the china cabinets, mantelpieces, and carved wood sideboards. The house is architecturally distinctive for its castle keep-inspired tower, thick brick walls, red tile roof, and large stone porch entrance.</p><br>
<p>Located in southern Rutherford County, Tennessee, where Harrison Lane crosses the West Fork of The Stones River, the Morgan House remains.</p><br>
<p>Peter Coffee, Sr. (1716-Nov 1771) was born in Ireland and married Susannah Mathews (1701–1796), and they immigrated to Virginia. Peter and Susannah had a son Joshua Coffee (Jan 26, 1745 – Sept 8, 1797) who married Elizabeth Graves (Jan 28, 1751 – Feb 25, 1804) and they had a daughter Mary Coffee (Aug 15, 1774 – Apr 28, 1839).</p><br>
<p>Originally constructed in 1811 by General John Coffee (June 2, 1772 – July 7, 1833), the home was presented to his sister Mary Harris (née Coffee) (August 15, 1774 - April 28, 1839), on the occasion of her wedding Simpson Harris, (November 21, 1768 - May 8, 1833). The land was purchased from the inheritance the Coffee siblings received from their father, Lieutenant Joshua Coffee, as detailed in his will. (John Coffee married Mary Donelson, the daughter of Captain John Donelson III and Mary Purnell, on October 3, 1809. A paternal aunt of Mrs. Coffee was Andrew Jackson&#39;s wife, Rachel Donelson Robards).</p><br>
<p>Mary Coffee married Simpson Harris (Nov 21, 1768 – May 08, 1833) and they had a daughter Harriet Hutchens Harris (Feb 29, 1797 – Feb 20, 1861) who married Samuel C. Morgan (Feb 26, 1794 – Aug 8, 1824). Their son John William Morgan (Jul 8, 1818 – Oct 22, 1901) married Isabella Caroline Means (Jul 4 1824 – Dec 11, 1881). And their son Carey Morgan (Dec 15, 1865 – Jun 16, 1942) married Frankie Lavinia McLain (Mar 4, 1874 – Oct 9, 1911) who are also the parents of Harvey Logan Morgan (Aug 30 1900 – May 1970).</p><br>
<p>William Morgan (1818-1901) and Caroline Means Morgan (1824-1881), settled adjacent to the Coffee property in the vicinity of the recently known Whitworth/Westmorland farm, situated south of Campground Road, across from the Morgan Family Cemetery. Richard ("Dick") Carey Morgan (December 15, 1865 - June 16, 1942) the 10th child of William and Caroline, purchased the Harris property as a replacement home, when the house William built burned in the early 1900s. The property was purchased and remodeled by Mr. Dick Morgan and has remained in the Morgan family as the geographical homeplace.</p><br>
<p>The property was passed from Mr. Dick Morgan to his son, Harvey Logan Morgan and his wife Nora Shelton Morgan, and to their son James Coleman Morgan who resides at the home today with his wife Nancy Morgan.</p><br>
<p>Anable Basin  is a 500 ft-long artificial inlet of the East River located in the Long Island City section of Queens, New York. A public walkway along the southwest side of the basin was constructed as part of the Queens West development in 2012. The basin contains several private vessels, the former Water&#39;s Edge restaurant, a former Prudence Island ferry boat, and a floating dock owned by Long Island City Community Boathouse, used for it&#39;s kayaking programs.</p><br>
<p>The inlet was carved in 1868 at a time when Long Island City was home to numerous oil refineries and factories. Its namesake is Henry Sheldon Anable, a prominent figure in local business and politics in the time of the basin’s creation. Anable’s ancestors were among the early Puritan settlers of Massachusetts, arriving in 1623. At the time of its creation, a mastodon bone was found on the site of the basin.</p><br>
<p>For much of the 20th century, the major industrial property on the basin was Pepsi-Cola, which had its bottling plant at the point where Anable Basin meets the East River. In 1937 the prolific advertising firm Artkraft-Strauss Sign Corporation installed the cursive ruby-colored neon-on-metal Pepsi-Cola sign atop the bottling plant and it became an instant point of reference for Manhattan residents and passing ships. When the bottling plant was demolished in 1999, the iconic 120-foot-long sign was dismantled and reassembled at a nearby site by Rockrose Development Corporation. The sign is an official city landmark and part of Gantry Plaza State Park, which lines the shore of East River between Anable Basin and Hunters Point.</p><br>
<p>Anable Basin’s moment in artistic representation arrived in 2007 with Chico MacMurtrie sculpture A Tree for Anable Basin which was introduced in October 2007. The 24-foot-high aluminum tree was set atop a floating island planted with native grass species. MacMurtrie is the founder of the Brooklyn-based workshop Amorphic Robot Works.</p><br>
<p>In sustainable agriculture, Anable Basin made news in August 2012, when Cooper Union architecture student Karim Ahmed designed a hydroponic garden atop a 20-foot raft. Waterpod, as the project was called, grew sunflowers, kale, corn, and a baby nectarine tree. The project was inspired by the chinampa floating farms used in Aztec society. Ahmed’s raft was moored at the northwest corner of the basin where Anable Basin Sailing Bar & Grill is located. The eatery offers mooring for vessels, picnic tables by the waterfront and a mixture of American and ethnic dishes including Ćevapi, a Bosnian sausage.</p><br>
<p>The McColloch-Weatherhogg Double House, also known as the J. Ross McCulloch House, is a historic residential building constructed in 1883 in the Victorian Gothic Revival style at 334-336 E. Berry St., Fort Wayne, Indiana. The building is now the home of United Way of Allen County and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 7, 2001.</p><br>
<p>The house was built for banker Charles McCulloch, whose father Hugh McCulloch was Secretary of the Treasury under Presidents Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Johnson and Chester A. Arthur.</p><br>
<p>Charles&#39; sons John Ross McCulloch and Frederick McCulloch eventually lived on both sides of the house. It was also the residence of prominent local architect Charles R. Weatherhogg.</p><br>
<p>The home was once on the Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana&#39;s 10 Most Endangered Buildings List and in disrepair. The Historic Landmarks Foundation restored the building and adjacent carriage house beginning in 2003. Fort Wayne businessman Jerry Henry purchased the home in 2005 and did his own rehabilitation of the structure for the United Way. Kelty Tappy Design supervised the rehabilitation and also developed and filed the paperwork for historic certification with the National Park Service.</p><br>
<p>Lake Idylwild, which is round, has a surface area of 95.48 acre. The lake has one small island, almost rectangular in shape, that maeasures 50 ft by 45 ft. It is just north of a canal on the northwest side the leads to Lake Jessie. Lake Idylwild is on the northwest side of Winter Haven, Florida. Residential areas border this lake on the northeast and western shores. On the south side are various commercial buildings. A woody area borders the southeast shore and the northwest shore is bordered by a grassy area.</p><br>
<p>Lake Idylwild has no public access directly. There are no boat ramps or public swimming areas. However, boats may access the lake from three canals. One on the northwest, connects to Lake Jessie. One on the east connects to Lake Hartridge. The third canal, on the south, connects to Lake Cannon. Lake Idylwild is part of the south part of the Winter Haven Chain of Lakes system, so boats may travel some distance to reach this lake. The Take Me Fishing website says this lake contains largemouth bass, black crappie and bluegill.</p><br>
<p>History:</p><br>
<p>In the 1940s there was an attraction on the shores of Lake Idylwild, called "Idylwyld Gardens". (See reference link #4 and #5 to photos of vintage post cards.) Idylwyld Gardens is now considered to be a "lost park".</p><br>
<p>The Tipton County Courthouse is a historic courthouse located at Tipton, Tipton County, Indiana. The courthouse is Tipton&#39;s third and was completed in 1894. Sherrer took over the architectural design work for the Indiana Statehouse project from Edwin May who died in 1880. Five years after the completion of the capitol building project in 1888, Scherrer began work on the Tipton County Courthouse building.</p><br>
<p>It is built of sandstone in a Romanesque Revival style with a clock tower that rises 206 feet above the ground. It is topped by a flagstaff. The building was constructed by Pierce and Morgan of Indianapolis during 1893 and 1894 at a cost of $170,988. It is one of several Romanesque courthouses dating from the 1890s that are still in use.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 1, 1984.</p><br>
<p>The Charles E. Swannell House is a Prairie School house in Kankakee, Illinois, United States. Designed by Tallmadge & Watson in the Prairie School style, it originally belonged to a local merchant.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Charles Edward Swannell was born in Momence, Illinois in 1856. He attended Lake Forest Academy and the Jacksonville Business College. His father Frederick founded a dry goods store, which Charles joined in 1871; five years later, he was named a partner. His brother Arthur joined the firm in 1882, when he purchased his father&#39;s interest in the store. The company, C. E. & A. Swannell, owned and operated the Swannell Building at the corner of Court Street and Shuyler Avenue in Kankakee. The building had a dry goods store, public market, blacksmith, and offices.</p><br>
<p>The house was designed by Prairie School architectural firm Tallmadge & Watson. It is the only building by the architects in Kankakee. The firm designed the house in 1911; three years later it was featured in a publication entitled Fireproof Houses of NATCO Hollow Tile. On June 3, 1982, the house was recognized by the National Park Service with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places. On August 22, 1986, it was also listed as a contributing property to the Riverview Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Charles E. Swannell House is on a 100 x lot on the Kankakee River in Kankakee. The main facade faces east toward South Chicago Avenue. Built on a concrete foundation, the two-story house has an attic and a massive hipped roof. A dormer window from the attic faces west. The roof has cedar shingles with metal ridges. Like many Tallmadge & Watson houses, the exterior walls are gently sloped inward as they rise. The walls are built with 10 in NATCO hollow clay tiles covered in cream-colored stucco. These walls are decorated with brick for the water table and a stringcourse under the rood. The house is divided into three bays; the northern bay of the main facade features a rectangular open porch.</p><br>
<p>Gary Bathing Beach Aquatorium, formerly known as Lakefront Park Bathhouse and also known as Chanute Aquatorium, is located at One Marquette Drive at Miller Beach in Marquette Park, Gary, Indiana. The aquatorium was designed by George Washington Maher and constructed in 1921. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 25, 1994. It has been converted to a museum of flight, honoring Octave Chanute and the Tuskegee Airmen.</p><br>
<p>It was built as a shower/bathroom/changing facility in 1921 and was dubbed the Lakefront Park Bathhouse. It was a major focal point of the Miller Beach community for decades. The building is architecturally significant as one of the earliest examples of pre-cast concrete modular construction. Ninety percent of the building is built with only six basic cast blocks, the most basic being the T-Block, a precursor of today&#39;s standard concrete block.</p><br>
<p>By the 1960s the facility was falling into major disrepair. In 1971 the building was closed to the public and boarded up.</p><br>
<p>The Aquatorium was rescued from demolition by the Chanute Aquatorium Society in 1991. The Society invented the word Aquatorium meaning "place to view the water" in order to disassociate the structure with the word bathhouse.</p><br>
<h2>Conversion to a museum of flight</h2><br>
<p>No longer a place to change or shower, the building now serves as a museum honoring Octave Chanute, the father of flight. Chanute conducted some of the first heavier-than-air glider flights in human history in the high dunes just yards from the structure. His successful experiments and glider designs paved the way for the Wright brothers powered flight at Kitty Hawk. The building also honors the Tuskegee Airmen, aeronautic pioneers who spearheaded the integration of the armed forces. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been raised for the buildings restoration and revamping.</p><br>
<p>Lee Construction Management of Miller was employed to begin restoration of the facility. In the spring of 1998, they demolished the east showers and began construction of new wing in January 1999. In the spring of 2000 major reconstruction of the second floor waterproofed the first-floor areas so museum space could be constructed below. The cornerstone for The Tuskegee Airmen Wing of the new museum was laid January 17, 1999.</p><br>
<p>Dunlap&#39;s Dining Room was a restaurant operated out of the residence of black entrepreneur George T. Dunlap in Sacramento, California. The business was popular in its time and building is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Dunlap built his home in 1906 as a small, 4-room, pink-colored bungalow in the Oak Park neighborhood of Sacramento. As his family grew, he would build additions to the home. Opening the home&#39;s dining room as a restaurant in 1930, the business continued until his retirement in 1968.</p><br>
<p>During its run, the restaurant never offered a printed menu. Instead, patrons were able to choose from three entree options: fried chicken, baked ham, and T-bone steak. Despite its quaint approach, the establishment hosted such visitors as Frank Merriam, Earl Warren, and C.K. McClatchy.</p><br>
<h2>Renovations</h2><br>
<p>In 1997, George Dunlaps daughter, Audrey Dunlap Wilcox, donated the home, now featuring 2,000 ft&sup2, to the Sacramento Childrens Home with the request that it be used to help the families in Oak Park. In 2001, the home had a major renovation project costing $300,000 and turning the home into a family resource center for the county.</p><br>
<p>The project included a new foundation for the house while keeping the original hardwood flooring. A fresh coat of pink paint was applied to maintain the original color of Dunlap&#39;s Dining Room.</p><br>
<p>The Frank Howard Building is a commercial building at 124-132 Fenn Street and 67-71 Federal Street in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. The 1916 Classical Revival building was designed by Joseph McArthur Vance, a prominent local architect, and is the best preserved of his works. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Frank Howard Building occupies the eastern portion of a city block, facing Fenn, Federal and 1st Streets to the northeast of Pittsfields central Park Square. It is a three-story timber-framed structure, its exterior clad in brick with limestone trim, resting on a granite foundation. The north facade faces Fenn Street, and has two commercial storefronts, each with plate glass display windows and recessed entrances. That on the right is slightly larger, and originally housed Frank Howards hardware business. The upper floors of the street-facing facades are divided into pairs of bays, separated by brick pilasters. Sash windows are set in rectangular openings, with stone lintels, and stringcourses serving as sills beneath them on the third floor. The building is topped by a decorative parapet surrounding a flat roof.</p><br>
<p>The block was built for Frank Howard, owner of a successful hardware and agricultural implements business, after Howard lost the lease on his existing storefront on North Street. The building was designed by Joseph McArthur Vance, a local architect who had designed other commercial buildings in downtown Pittsfield. The Howard building represents one of the best preserved of Vance&#39;s works.</p><br>
<p>Frank Howard&#39;s sons continued to run the family business in the building until 1960, making only modest alterations to it. The building remained in the hands of his surviving son Arthur, after which it had a succession of owners. Portions of the building remained vacant throughout this time, and in 2010 it was sold to A.C. Enterprises, which is overseeing a historically sensitive conversion to mixed used.</p><br>
<p>Heaven Island   is a peninsula near the city of Marmaris, Turkey.</p><br>
<p>Heaven Island is situated about 8 km from Marmaris, and is connected with the mainland by an isthmus known as the Fake Strait (Yalancı Boğazı). The region has been officially recognized for its natural and archeological heritage and brought under protection for both its natural and archeological values.</p><br>
<h2>Ancient human presence</h2><br>
<p>The remnants of archeological importance are located at the highest point of the island and these belong to one of the three branches of ancient settlements around Marmaris. This place can be reached by taking a hiking adventure for about an hour from Marmaris. The place has remnants of the ancient city wall, the watch tower and ancient houses.</p><br>
<h2>Flora and fauna</h2><br>
<p>The area has a wide variety of plant and animal life and continues to thrive on the protection offered to this place. Nimara Cave is home to trogloxene butterflies, similar to those living in Fethiye&#39;s Butterfly Valley (Kelebekler Vadisi).</p><br>
<h2>Nimara Cave</h2><br>
<p>The Nimara Cave, situated on the island, has become a popular tourist attraction. The place is of special interest for students and researchers involved in research work about the ancient human settlements in and around Muğla. The Marmaris Museum Directorate and the City Municipality of Marmaris have been making special efforts to preserve the archeological heritage of this place and at the same time to popularize the place with visitors in and around Marmaris.</p><br>
<p>The cave was declared a protected area in 1999.</p><br>
<p>The Hoia Forest  is a forest situated to the west of the city of Cluj-Napoca, near the open-air section of the Ethnographic Museum of Transylvania. The forest is used as a common recreation destination. In recent years a biking park has been added to the forest, along with areas for other sports such as paintball, airsoft and archery. It has a reputation for paranormal phenomena.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The forest covers an area of about 3 square kilometers. Its southern border begins on a ridge which runs east-west. It does not contain the steep southern slope of the hill, which rises from the Someșul Mic River. To the north, the forest ends on a smoother slope, which meets the Nadăș River.</p><br>
<p>The eastern end of the forest is bordered by the Tăietura Turcului, an artificial valley that divides the hill from north to south and contains a traffic road. The west end of the forest reaches the northeastern slope of the Dealul Melcilor, nearby the Mujai Forest, which extends further westward. The Bongar valley runs along the south end of this side, which contains a downy oak grove unique to the southern steppe. Part of the northeastern end of the forest is bordered by Valea Lungă (Long Valley), which passes through Eocene limestone and forms Cheile Baciului, a valley with asymmetric slopes. A small natural lake is located upstream from Cheile Baciului, at the border of the forest. There are several springs with potable water at the north edge of the forest, in Valea Lungă.</p><br>
<h2>Archaeological discoveries</h2><br>
<p>The oldest Neolithic settlement in Romania (believed to have been established around 6500 BC) belonging to the Starčevo–Kőrös–Criş culture was discovered at the north of Valea Lungă. Tombs and houses from this settlement were uncovered between 1960 and 1994.</p><br>
<h2>Paranormal phenomena</h2><br>
<p>The Hoia Forest is famous worldwide for its alleged frequent and varied paranormal phenomena. On August 18, 1968, a military technician from Cluj named Emil Barnea captured a famous photograph of a UFO over the forest&#39;s Poiana Rotundă (The Round Meadow).</p><br>
<p>Beginning in 1960, Alexandru Sift, a professor of biology, studied the phenomena of light and magnetism which occur in the forest. This study yielded a rich archive of photographs of the phenomena, which was lost several days after Sift&#39;s death in 1993.</p><br>
<p>The few remaining photographs were published in 1995 in the book Fenomenele de la Pădure Hoia-Baciu by Adrian Pătruț, professor of chemistry at Babeș-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca and a friend of Sift. Pătruț continued Sift&#39;s research, and claims that the strange phenomena have a scientific basis which has yet to be sufficiently understood. The reputation for paranormal phenomena has brought about many urban legends in Cluj, and contributes to its popularity as a tourist attraction. With so little evidence, skeptics say these are just stories for entertainment.</p><br>

<p>Deptford St Nicholas was a civil parish in the metropolitan area of London, England. The creation of the parish accompanied the building of the Church of St Paul&#39;s, Deptford, constructed by the Commission for Building Fifty New Churches to meet the demands of the growing population. The ancient parish of Deptford was split in 1730 with the southern part around the new church becoming Deptford St Paul. St Nicholas parish included the old maritime settlement and the dockyard adjacent to the River Thames. Civil parish administration was in the hands of the vestry until 1855 when the parish was grouped into the Greenwich District and the parish elected vestrymen to Greenwich District Board of Works. The parish was transferred from the County of Kent to the County of London in 1889. It became part of the Metropolitan Borough of Greenwich in 1900 and the local authority became Greenwich Borough Council. The civil parish had only nominal existence until 1930 when it was abolished. The area became part of the London Borough of Greenwich in 1965 and following boundary changes in 1994, part of the former parish is now in the London Borough of Lewisham.</p><br>
<h2>Creation</h2><br>
<p>It was created in 1730 by an act of parliament when the ancient parish of Deptford was split into St Nicholas and St Paul parishes. The split was prompted by the building of a new Church of St Paul by the Commission for Building Fifty New Churches. The ancient parish of Deptford had been divided between Kent and Surrey, but St Nicholas was entirely within the Hundred of Blackheath in Kent.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>St Nicholas was geographically smaller than St Paul and had a much higher population density. It was bounded by the River Thames to the north and Deptford Creek to the east. It consisted of the maritime settlement of Lower Deptford adjacent to the river around Deptford Dockyard.</p><br>
<h2>Government</h2><br>
<p>The parish was governed by a vestry from 1730 to 1855.</p><br>
<p>The parish was grouped with Greenwich and Deptford St Paul into the Greenwich District in 1855 when it came within the district of the Metropolitan Board of Works. The local authority became Greenwich District Board of Works and the parish elected vestrymen to the authority.</p><br>
<p>The parish was transferred from the County of Kent to the County of London in 1889 and the Metropolitan Board of Works was replaced by the London County Council.</p><br>
<h2>Poor law</h2><br>
<p>Following the Poor Law Amendment Act 1834 the parish was grouped into the Greenwich Poor Law Union with Greenwich, Deptford St Paul and Woolwich. The parish elected three of the twenty members of the board of guardians. Woolwich left the union in 1868. The union ceased to exist and the parish had no further role in the administration of the poor law following the Local Government Act 1929.</p><br>
<h2>Abolition</h2><br>
<p>The parish became part of the Metropolitan Borough of Greenwich in 1900 and the Greenwich District Board of Works was replaced by Greenwich Borough Council. The civil parish had only nominal existence for administration of the Poor Law until 1930 when it was abolished, and the borough and parish of Greenwich became aligned. All civil parishes were then abolished in Greater London on 1 April 1965.</p><br>
<p>The former area of the parish became part of the London Borough of Greenwich in 1965, but following boundary changes in 1994, the former parish is now split between the London Borough of Lewisham and the Royal Borough of Greenwich.</p><br>
<h2>Population</h2><br>
<p>The population of the parish was as follows:</p><br>

<p>Doles sala is a peninsula in the Daugava River, near the borders of Riga. There is an old mansion on Doles sala, which now serves as the Daugava Museum.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>There is a theory that German knights settled in Doles sala even before the city of Riga was founded, but this is unproven.</p><br>
<p>There once was a great-oak on Doles sala. It was the third biggest oak in Latvia.</p><br>
<p>Doles sala was previously an island, and also larger, until construction of Riga HES flooded it. Some sources list it as the second largest island in Latvia, with an area of 1044 ha. However, Riga HES made Doles sala into a peninsula.</p><br>
<p>President of Latvia Vaira Vīķe-Freiberga planted a tree on Doles sala.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>There are rare dolomite outcrops in Doles sala, which were made by the now unexisting river Lebjava.</p><br>
<h2>Parks and museums</h2><br>
<p>In 1987, the Doles sala national park was founded.</p><br>
<p>There is an old mansion on Doles sala, which now serves as the Daugava Museum.</p><br>
<p>Lee Station is the historic railroad station at 109 Railroad Street in Lee, Massachusetts. It was built in 1893 to serve passenger traffic on the Housatonic Railroad, which operated the tracks that run through the town between Pittsfield to the north and Connecticut to the south. It served as the towns main passenger station until passenger service was terminated in 1971 by the Penn Central Railroad, the NYNH&Hs successor. In 1976 the building was converted to office use, and in 1981 it was rehabilitated and opened as a restaurant. It also serves excursions of the Berkshire Scenic Railway Museum.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Lee Station is located in the village center of Lee, on the west side of Railroad Street at its junction with Elm Street, one block west of Main Street (United States Route 20). It is set parallel to railroad tracks running north-south to its west, which roughly parallel the Housatonic River further west. The station is a single-story wood frame structure, set on a brick basement that is exposed on the track side due to sloping terrain. The exterior is finished in a combination of wooden clapboards and bands of shingles in the Queen Anne style. The street facade has ten asymmetrically placed bays, eight of which have windows and two have doors. The main entrance is located in one of the central bays. The track facade has nine bays, with a central projecting section which originally housed the agent&#39;s office.</p><br>
<p>The station was built in 1893 by the Housatonic Railroad shortly before it was absorbed by the New York, New Haven, and Hartford Railroad (NYNH&H). It served as a combination station, serving both passengers and freight, from the time of its construction until passenger service ended in 1971 and freight service ended in 1973. The railroad played an important role in the towns economy, bringing its manufactured goods (principally paper) and raw materials to market, and bring vactioners to the areas summer estates and boarding houses. It was the busiest station on the line between the major stops of Pittsfield, Massachusetts and Bridgeport, Connecticut.</p><br>
<p>The station, considered surplus by the Penn Central, was sold to private owners in 1976, who first operated a real estate business there, before converting it to a restaurant in 1981.</p><br>
<p>The Lemuel Milk Carriage House or Stone Barn is a historic building in Kankakee, Illinois, United States. It is the last remnant of the estate of Lemuel Milk, who once owned over 25,000 acre of land.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Lemuel Milk moved to Kankakee, Illinois from New York around 1855. An early settler to the area, Milk was among the first to drain the Kankakee region for farming. By purchasing cheap, swampy land for draining, Milk was able to amass a large estate exceeding 25,000 acre. This made him one of the largest landowners in Illinois. Milk opened a department store in Chebanse in 1868, which he ran until 1883. In 1876, he founded the Waldron Ice Company, harvesting ice from the nearby Kankakee River. Milk was a trustee on the board of the Illinois Eastern Hospital for the Insane. Milk&#39;s most ambitious undertaking was the draining of Beaver Lake in Newton County, Indiana.</p><br>
<p>The carriage house, built at some point between 1861 and 1868, is the only remaining structure from Milk&#39;s large estate. Milk lived in a seventeen room mansion at the corner of Oak and Indiana Avenues, which has since been demolished. Aside from sheltering his carriage, Milk also used the building to house livestock. The carriage house is now the third-oldest building remaining in Kankakee after the First Baptist Church and the Asbury United Methodist Church Sanctuary.</p><br>
<p>The building was used as a barn until the early 1920s, when it was used as a painting garage. It later became a warehouse for Fred Swannell Sr.&#39;s hardware store. The building was converted to a bakery and restaurant in 1973. The restaurant quickly went out of business and the building became a meeting place for civic groups. On June 4, 1979, the carriage house 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 carriage house is built with locally-quarried limestone. The roof features a cupola with a weather vane, placed at the crossing of the two gables. The building is largely undecorated except for a wide bracketed cornice. The interior retains its rough cut roof trusses. The floor was changed to concrete in the 1920s.</p><br>
<p>The Shlina  is a river in Firovsky, Bologovsky, and Vyshnevolotsky Districts, as well as of the closed urban-type settlement of Ozyorny of Tver Oblast of Russia. It is a tributary of the Tsna River  and belongs to the drainage basin of the Neva and the Baltic Sea. It is 102 km long, and the area of its basin 2,300 km&sup2;. The principal tributaries of the Shlina are the Granichnaya River , the Shlinka River , and the Lonnitsa River . The Lonnitsa is technically an inflow of the Vyshny Volochyok Reservoir.</p><br>
<p>The whole course of the Shlina belongs to the Valdai Hills. The source of the river is Lake Shlino which is shared between Tver and Novgorod Oblasts. The Shlina flows out at the Tver Oblast side close to the village of Komkino and flows east. It crosses Firovsky District, a stretch of it makes the border between Ozyorny and Firovsky District. Further east the Shlina returns to Firovsky District, crosses the southern part Bologovsky District, and enters Vyshnevolotsky District. It enters the Vyshny Volochyok Reservoir by the settlement of Krasnomaysky.</p><br>
<p>The drainage basin of the Shlina includes much of the area of Firovsky District, as well as parts of Demyansky and Valdaysky Districts of Novgorod Oblast and of Ostashkovsky, Bologovsky, and Vyshnevolotsky Districts of Tver Oblast. The urban-type settlement of Firovo is located in the drainage basin of the Shlina.</p><br>
<p>Ellsworth City Hall is the seat of local government in Ellsworth, Maine. Built in 1934-35 after a devastating fire destroyed the old city hall and part of the business district, it is an municipal building with Georgian Revival features unusual for Maine. The building was designed by Philadelphia architect Edmund Gilchrist, and is reflective of that area. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Ellsworth City Hall stands on a hill north of United States Route 1, overlooking the citys central business district, separated from it by a parking lot. It is a two story brick building, with a horizontal gable-roofed main block, which is flanked by hip-roofed perpendicular wings, and which has a center projecting gable-roof entry section. The flanking wings are joined to the main block by flat-roofed sections. The gable of the projecting center section is filled with carved painted woodwork, including a rendition of the citys seal. At the center of the main block an octagonal cupola rises to a round roof with spire.</p><br>
<p>The Ellsworth downtown area was devastated by a fire on May 7, 1933, whose casualties included the old city hall. Edmund Gilchrist, a Philadelphia architect who summered on nearby Mount Desert Island, was chosen to design the new building, in which particular attention was paid to the use of fireproof materials. Gilchrist also made recommendations, ultimately not carried out, for a larger-scale redesign of the downtown area in the aftermath of the fire. The buildings design features are more reflective of Gilchrists experience with historic Georgian structures in Philadelphia than they are of rural Maine.</p><br>
<p>Silkeborg Forests is Denmarks largest forest. It comprise a collection of several independent private and public woodlands, that have been allowed to merge into a single connected forest south of the city of Silkeborg. At 22,400 ha, it is Denmarks largest forest since 2004, after Rold Skov, and it is located within the largest forest district in the country as well. The forests forms an important part of the larger regional landscape known as Søhøjlandet.</p><br>
<p>Silkeborg Forests are named after the city of Silkeborg, situated in the northern outskirts and the forest is naturally divided into a north, west, east and south section, known as Nordskoven, Vesterskoven, Østerskoven and Sønderskoven respectively.</p><br>
<h2>Protections</h2><br>
<p>A total area of 1,455 ha of the forest is to be protected under Natura 2000 and is designated as area 57 and EU Habitat area H181.</p><br>
<p>The protection comprise several conservationally important forest and aquatic habitats. Amongst these, habitat type 9120 defined as "Beech forests (Fagus sylvatica) with holly (Ilex), growing on acidic soils, in a humid Atlantic climate", is the most prevalent forest habitat at 351 ha, while habitat type 3150, defined as "Natural eutrophic lakes with Magnopotamion or Hydrocharition-type vegetation" is the most prevalent aquatic habitat in the area, at 188 ha. There are other important - but less extent - habitat types present, like the 54 ha Lobelian lake of Almind Sø for example.</p><br>
<p>The designation is also based on the presence of European brook lamprey, Northern crested newt, Pond bat and the European otter living here.</p><br>
<p>Birdsacre Sanctuary, also known as Stanwood Wildlife Sanctuary, is an historic house museum and wildlife sanctuary at 289 High Street in Ellsworth, Maine, United States. The core of the property is a 40 acre parcel owned by the pioneering Maine ornithologist Cordelia Stanwood, whose home was opened as a museum in 1960, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. Stanwoods homestead was extensively damaged by an arsonist-set fire in 2014. The sanctuary, now 200 acre, includes trails, an orchard, and a nature center that showcases a fine art and nature collection, including Cordelia J. Stanwoods avian field-notes and extensive photographic collection.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Birdsacre Sanctuary is set south of Ellsworth&#39;s central business district, on the west side of Maine State Route 3, which connects Ellsworth to Bar Harbor. The Stanwood homestead, standing near the road, is a modest c. 1850 Cape style wood-frame house, which housed much original material, including artifacts of Cordelia Stanwood, prior to the 2014 fire. Stanwood was a self-taught ornithologist and naturalist who devoted 50 years of her life to studying the birds and nature of the area around her homestead. Following her death in 1958, community activists joined together to acquire her property, which was opened as a museum and sanctuary in 1960.</p><br>
<p>The wildlife sanctuary, now enlarged to about 200 acre, has a network of trails, some of which were laid out by Stanwood, and feature a variety of landscapes and habitats in which different types of birds may be observed. A nature center, built in 1990, houses a collection of mounted birds and mammals, as well as a collection of eggs and nests. Some parts of this collection are more than 100 years old.</p><br>
<p>The Stanwood homestead was devastated by a fire set on March 6, 2014, destroying much of the buildings historic fabric, and a significant number of artifacts from Stanwoods life, including her camera and typewriter. Some artifacts, including many of her field notes, were spared by the flames.</p><br>
<p>The McDowell House is a National Register of Historic Places property located in Fountain Inn, South Carolina. The Craftsman style bungalow was built in 1922 by J. B. Wasson for his sister, Quentine Wasson McDowell.</p><br>
<p>The house features a cross gabled front porch supported by wooden pillars on brick piers, exposed rafters, wide overhanging eaves, a pergola, and original interior details including wood flooring, window and door surrounds, fireplace surrounds and trim. The pine and oak used in its construction came from nearby property owned by J. B. Wasson.</p><br>
<p>The front-gabled frame garage to the rear of the house, likely built at the same time as the house, has exterior detailing consistent with the main house including weatherboard siding and a tin roof.</p><br>
<p>The Fountain Inn High School was a building that formerly served as a high school, located in Fountain Inn, South Carolina. It was designed by the Greenville, South Carolina based architectural firm Beacham and LeGrand and built in 1939. An example of New Deal-era design in the Moderne style, its construction was undertaken using grants by the Public Works Administration program.</p><br>
<p>The L-shaped two-story building on a basement has exterior brick walls set on concrete footings. The original 800-seat auditorium has hardwood flooring on the main floor as well as the stage floor. The ceiling features period art deco style patterned panels and lights. The sides of the auditorium are covered in wood panels.</p><br>
<p>The building served as the high school for the town for only 17 years, until the construction of Hillcrest High School was completed just outside the town. In 1957 when the new high school opened, the building became Fountain Inn Elementary School until a new school was constructed in 1997. The building was purchased by the city from the Greenville County School District in 1999. As the Fountain Inn Center for Visual and Performing Arts, it served the city of Fountain Inn by featuring traveling acts, a resident orchestra, a theater company and an arts academy.</p><br>
<p>In 2013, the building was renamed the Younts Center for Performing Arts and began a multi-phase remodeling project that includes renovation to the theater, the lobby and the exterior.</p><br>
<p>The Greer Depot is a former railroad depot listed on the National Register of Historic Places and located in Greer, South Carolina. The combination passenger station and freight warehouse was designed by the Charlotte, North Carolina-based architect, Charles Christian Hook, and constructed in 1913 for the Piedmont and Northern Railway. It is the last surviving of the original 5 two-story depots built for the railway.</p><br>
<p>The building combines a one-story warehouse and a two-story station. It has a yellow brick exterior on a wider red brick base. The hip roof is covered in red clay tile supported by a wood truss and timber plank system. The second story room of the depot served as the city hall for Greer until the 1930s and then served as a record storage room until the 1950s. The depot, which had been boarded up and unused,</p><br>
<p>Ligñon Hill is a prominent hill in the city of Legazpi, some 3 kilometers west of its downtown port area in Albay, Philippines. The summit rises to about 512 feet , overlooking the Mayon Volcano to the northwest and the entire city and Albay Gulf to the east. The whole site is managed by the city and provincial government, and has been designated as a Nature Park.</p><br>
<p>Ligñon Hill is a prehistoric cinder cone near the foot of Mayon, some 12 kilometers south-southeast of the volcanos summit. It is mainly composed of dolerite and basaltic volcanic rocks. Except for Mayon Volcano, it is the highest point in the city situated next to the Legazpi Airport in barangay 41 (Bogtong) near the citys border with the municipality of Daraga. It hosts the Mayon Volcano Observatory, the central monitoring station of the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology built in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Ligñon Hill Nature Park</h2><br>
<p>In 2006, the park underwent a major renovation with the hilltop leased for private development under a memorandum of agreement with the Albay provincial government. The park now has a viewing deck with coin-operated telescopes, a landscaped promenade as well as restaurants and souvenir shops. Other features include a zipline and a 50-foot tunnel constructed by the Japanese during World War II. It is accessible by car via a spiral uphill road off Binitayan Road from the Legazpi Airport.</p><br>
<p>The Timpone della Motta is a hill two kilometers to the southwest of Francavilla Marittima in Calabria, Italy. It is an archaeological site which was inhabited since the Middle Bronze Age. In the Iron Age the hill was the site of an Oenotrian settlement. Over time the settlement was transformed into an important sanctuary, which was notable as the site of the first known ancient Greek temples on the Italian Peninsula. The Oenotrians were influenced by the culture of the Greek colonists from nearby Sybaris, who eventually took over the site in the second half of the seventh century. The hill was abandoned when the Bruttians conquered the region in the fourth century BC.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The hill has an elevation of 280 meters above sea level and overlooks the coastal plain of Sibari and the Gulf of Taranto. It is on the northern bank of the seasonal Raganello river. Close to the hilltop is the acropolis, which was the location of a sanctuary with three temples. The acropolis was surrounded by a defensive wall. Several terraces with evidence of settlement are located further downhill and the Macchiabate necropolis lies at the foot of the hill. The ancient Greek city of Sybaris was located at a distance of 15 kilometers to the southeast.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Oenotrian period</h3><br>
<p>The oldest remains belong to a Middle Bronze Age dwelling which stood on the later site of Temple V on the acropolis. During the Iron Age in the ninth and eight centuries BC the hill was the site of a large Oenotrian settlement. Archaeological evidence indicates that a weaving house stood at the site of the Bronze Age dwelling in this period. This building was three times the size of a contemporary native hut discovered on Plateau I and might have had a religious function as well.</p><br>
<p>In the last quarter of the eight century BC this house and the other Oenotrian apsidal wooden dwellings on the acropolis were replaced by long rectangular wooden temples dedicated to Athena. The temples followed a Greek design but were constructed with native techniques. They were built around a plaza in the center, with Temple I to the northeast of the plaza, Temple V (built on the location of the weaving house) to the southwest and Temple III to the northwest. Temples I and V were built parallel to the length of the plaza, but Temple III had an entrance which faced the plaza.</p><br>
<p>These temples were the first known ancient Greek temples on the Italian Peninsula. The Greek colony Sybaris was founded around the same time, in 720 BC. There is no evidence to suggest that the site suffered a violent takeover by the Greek colonists, so it is more likely that the Oenotrians and the Greeks co-operated in the construction of the temples at a time when Greek religion was transmitted to the Oenotrian culture.</p><br>
<h3>Greek takeover</h3><br>
<p>During the seventh century BC the settlement was reduced and habitation did not occur on the lower plateaus anymore, but elsewhere in the vicinity. In the second half of the seventh century BC the sanctuary was apparently taken over by the Sybarites, who celebrated large festivals there regularly. At this time a new generation of mudbrick temples was erected on top of the old wooden temples, which were demolished.</p><br>
<p>In the sixth century BC an intensive building program was started at the site leading to the construction of large colonial houses on all the plateaus and the rearrangement of the sanctuary. The mudbrick Temple V was demolished and a gravel foundation was used to eliminate the height difference of the site of Temple V with the rest of the acropolis. A new Temple V made of stone replaced the older temple. New stone temples also replaced Temple III and I, which were built on a stone foundation of riverbed cobbles.</p><br>
<p>The site must have been abandoned when the Bruttians conquered the region at some time in the fourth century BC. Centuries later a Byzantine chapel was constructed on top of the foundations of Temple V, but there is no evidence of a settlement existing in this period.</p><br>
<h3>Identification as Lagaria</h3><br>
<p>Thousands of hydriskai were found on the acropolis. Because there is no natural source of water on the Timpone della Motta, these hydriskai must have been used to carry water up the hill. The images of processions seen on the pottery found at the site show women carrying water and Athena is associated with Epeius in mythology. Combined with ancient literary evidence this had led to the proposal that the Timpone della Motta was the site of Lagaria. An older source places Lagaria much further north however, near Valsinni.</p><br>
<h2>Excavation</h2><br>
<p>The first excavation of the Macchiabate necropolis was started in 1963 by Paola Zancani Montuoro. She delegated the excavation of the acropolis to Maria W. Stoop and the investigation of the lower terraces to Marianne Kleibrink from 1965 onwards. The excavations were stopped in 1969 because Montuoro participated in the excavations of Sybaris. In the 1970s illegal excavations took place on large scale on the southern slope of the Timpone della Motta. Many stolen artefacts were sold on the antiquities market to private collectors and museums. Eventually these were identified and most of them were returned to the Museo Nazionale Archeologico della Sibaritide, where the finds from Timpone della Motta are exhibited.</p><br>
<p>Kokerbin Rock, also known as Kokerbin Hill, is a granite rock formation located within the Kokerbin Nature Reserve in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia. The area has special significance for Noonga. There are claims that Kokerbin Rock is the third largest monolith in Australia, with Mount Wudinna in South Australia being the second largest and Uluru in the Northern Territory being the largest. The Kokerbin Nature Reserve is approximately 40 km east of Quairading and 30 km south of Kellerberrin by road.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>A picnic area and toilet facilities are located on the eastern side of Kokerbin Rock. Caves, rock formations, and the summit are accessible by marked bush walks.</p><br>
<p>The rock formations include a wave rock formation, Dog Rock and Devil&#39;s Marbles. On the western side of Kokerbin Rock is a historic stone well and an old school site, remainders of early European settlement.</p><br>
<p>The General John Frelinghuysen House is a historic building located in Raritan, New Jersey. The older west wing was originally a tavern, built sometime before 1756 by Cornelius Bogert, when it also served as the town&#39;s meeting hall. It was bought in 1801 by John Frelinghuysen and then came to be known as the Frelinghuysen Homestead. It is an excellent example of early 19th century Federal architecture in New Jersey. In 1975, it was donated by Peter Frelinghuysen, Jr. to the borough and now serves as the Raritan Public Library.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house has two historic sections: the main two-story brick house, built sometime after 1801, and an older frame wing on the west, built sometime before 1756.</p><br>
<p>Derrick Middagh bought the property on May 1, 1709 from Peter Van Nest. Cornelius Middagh then inherited it from his father, Derrick. Cornelius Bogert built a house here, which was used as a tavern, and served as the town&#39;s meeting hall from 1756 to 1769. The house was later sold to John Arrison and then to Henry Traphagen, before being bought by John Frelinghuysen. This forms the older west wing of the current building.</p><br>
<p>John Frelinghuysen purchased the house from Traphagen in 1801, but, at the death of his father, Frederick, went to the Millstone family estate to manage the property there and take care of his brothers, Theodore and Frederick. He returned to this property in 1810. At some time he built the brick section of the building, using imported Dutch brick. He served in the War of 1812 and was promoted to brigadier general. Thus the full name of the property is the General John Frelinghuysen House.</p><br>
<p>The family sold the property in 1924 to the Glazier family.</p><br>
<p>The house was renovated in the early 1970s by architect John M. Dickey.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>In 1936, the house was described as "a veritable mansion compared to the majority of Dutch houses." It had an early 19th-century doorway and a neo-classic portico. The interior rooms had very high ceilings.</p><br>
<h2>Raritan Public Library</h2><br>
<p>The Raritan Public Library, founded June, 1961, was initially located in the Relief Home Company No. 2 Engine House. In 1975, Peter Frelinghuysen, Jr. donated the family homestead, the General John Frelinghuysen House, to the borough for use as the library.</p><br>
<p>The library contains memorabilia dedicated to the memory of Medal of Honor recipient John Basilone.</p><br>
<p>The Lake Michigan Beach House at Ludington State Park is a public building located at 8800 West M-116 in Hamlin Township. It is the only Arts and Crafts beachhouse on Lake Michigan, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>At the beginning of the 1930s, as the Great Depression worsened, Franklin Roosevelt created the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). The Civilian Conservation Corps Camp Ludington-Pere Marquette SP-2 was established in 1933. That same year, architect Ralph B. Herrick designed this beach house for the park. The Ludington State Park Beach House was constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1935.</p><br>
<p>In 2013, the beach house underwent an extensive renovation.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Ludington State Park Beach House is a two-story square plan building measuring 116 ft by 35 ft. It sits on a concrete foundation, and has red brick walls on the lower story, wooden singles on the upper story, and a cedar shingle hip roof. Three brick archways on the lower floor provide access from the beach house directly to the Lake Michigan beach.</p><br>
<p>The upper floor of the beach house, originally intended to be a public lodge, has a wooden floor, large timber beams, and a brick and stone fireplace. The lower floor was constructed with dressing and shower rooms, toilets and a confectionery stand/grocery store.</p><br>
<p>The E. O. Grosvenor House, also known as the Gamble House, is located at 211 Maumee Street in Jonesville, Michigan. It was built as a private home for Ebenezer O. Grosvenor, and now operates as the Grosvenor House Museum. It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. It is considered one of the most magnificent residences in Michigan.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Ebenezer O. Grosvenor was a politician who served in the Michigan Senate, one term as the Lieutenant Governor of Michigan, and two terms as the State Treasurer of Michigan. He arrived in Jonesville in 1840, establishing a store and a bank in the town. Grosvenor had this house constructed in 1874 from plans drawn by Elijah E. Myers. After his death, four generations of Grosvenors lived in the house, after which it was turned into a rooming house.</p><br>
<p>In 1960, the house was purchased by the Gamble family, It now operates as the Grosvenor House Museum</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The E. O. Grosvenor House is a rectangular red brick two-story Victorian Italianate house placed on a stone foundation. The perimeter contains multiple bays, columned porches, and othe projecting elements. It is decorated with brackets, dentils, and a fielded panel frieze.</p><br>
<p>The interior contains thirty-two rooms, all with twelve-foot ceilings. There are eight Italian marble fireplaces, all differently colored, a grand staircase, and Egyptian-themed walnut window valances.</p><br>
<p>The Greer Post Office is a building listed with the National Register of Historic Places located in Greer, South Carolina. The Colonial Revival style post office was constructed in 1935, produced under the supervision of the Public Works Administration in the New Deal era. It was designed by New York City-based architect Donald G. Anderson, with Louis A. Simon as the supervising architect.</p><br>
<p>The building differed from most New Deal era federal buildings in its use of an outside architect. It is also significant due to a mural located inside, completed by the artist Winfield R. Walkley, titled "Cotton and Peach Growing". It is one of 13 mural that had been commissioned by the US Department of Treasury&#39;s Section of Fine Arts between 1938 and 1941 for South Carolina federal buildings and post offices.</p><br>
<p>The building operated as a post office until 1964, when a new one was built. It was sold to the city of Greer, who renovated the building to serve as the Greer City Hall.</p><br>
<h2>Greer Heritage Museum</h2><br>
<p>In 2009, the city moved its offices into an adjacent building, with the old post office being leased to the Greer Heritage Museum. Refurbishments undertaken by the museum restored its original character, including the mural, which had been covered by paneling when the building was used as the city hall.</p><br>
<p>Opened in 2009, the museums exhibits include agriculture, Native Americans, home life, clothing, town history and culture. The service window from the buildings use as a post office has been restored and is on display.</p><br>
<p>The Hopkins Farm is an agricultural complex listed on the National Register of Historic Places located near the intersection of South Carolina Highway 418 and Fork Shoals Road in the vicinity of Simpsonville, South Carolina.

<p>The Old Churchyard Cemetery  is a historic cemetery on Jenks Road in Cheshire. It is one of Cheshire&#39;s oldest cemeteries, and is located near the site of the first Baptist meetinghouse in the town.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Cheshire, Massachusetts was settled as "New Providence" in the 1760s by a group of Baptists from Rhode Island. The main settlement was on what is now called Stafford Hill, in honor of Joab Stafford, one of the settlement&#39;s leaders. In 1786 a deed transferring the cemetery plot to Joab Stafford was recorded, "for a burying place" for the local Baptist church. This deed may have been a formalization of a situation existing since at least 1779. Although ownership of the land seems to have remained with the church, it was constructively abandoned by the mid-20th century, and acquired by the town in 2006. The property was the original site of the first Baptist meetinghouse in the area. That building was moved c. 1820 to a lot on Stafford Hill Road, and was repurposed as a house; it has been much altered since.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery is the burial site of many of Cheshire&#39;s earliest settlers, although it was not where Joab Stafford was buried. The names of 21 families are recorded on its gravestones, and three first settlers of the town are known to be interred there.</p><br>
<p>Most of the early gravestones are plain marble, without any significant decoration. The iconography of the willow and urn came into fashion during the early 19th century, and appears on stones that date to that time. A small number of stones show Greek Revival features. Unlike later cemeteries of the rural cemetery movement, this cemetery was never formally organized, with lanes and formalized rows of graves.</p><br>
<p>The Pelham Mills Site, sometimes referred to as the Buena Vista Factory, Hutchings Factory, or the Lester Factory, is the site of the ruins of the Pelham Mills cotton factory near Greer, South Carolina on the shores of the Enoree River. Included on the property are stone and brick foundations, the bases of two steam smokestacks, brick pilings, and a mortared stone dam with six sluice gates across the Enoree River.</p><br>
<p>The mill, believed to be the first cotton mill in the Greenville District, was first founded in 1820 as the Hutchings Factory by the Reverend Thomas Hutchings. In 1827, the property was purchased by Philip C. Lester and was known as Lester Factory. By 1850, the property was known as the Buena Vista Factory and retained that name until 1880 when it was sold to the Pelham Manufacturing Company, who in 1882, incorporated their property under the name The Pelham Mills. By 1940 the mill had been vacated. A fire in the 1940s destroyed the entire mill complex.</p><br>
<p>A portion of the property was donated to the county by the Greenville County Historic Preservation Commission in 1988, used to create the Pelham Mill Park.</p><br>

<p>The McCranie family worked in the turpentine industry prior to 1900 and continued for generations. This turpentine still was built in 1936, based on designs and methods from earlier eras. It was operated by three McCranie brothers. It ceased operation in 1942 when the two elder McCranie brothers went to war. The replacement of the fire distillation process by steam distillation and the labor shortage caused by World War II contributed to its closure. The still remains largely intact.</p><br>

<p>Alma Depot is a historic site in Alma, Georgia. It is a one-story frame building and was constructed in 1906 in a style similar to many of the era. It is located on Dixon Street and 11th Street. Alma was the first stop of a logging railroad which had been constructed in 1887. When a turpentine company was started about 1899, Alma got its name and a post office. The town was incorporated in 1904. Alma became the county seat of Bacon County when the county was created in 1914. For the first few decades of the town&#39;s existence, Alma saw growth along the railroad and around the depot.</p><br>
<p>At its peak from 1906 until the 1920s, as many as six passenger trains per day stopped at the depot. Passenger service stopped in 1952 and freight service stopped later.</p><br>

<p>The Rabinowitz Building is a historic building in Alma, Georgia. It was built in 1915 and is located at 203-205 West Eleventh Street. It is a good example of a commercial, multi-use building in a small town. It is unusual as it uses glazed bricks on the front and has an ornamented metal cornice, which seems to have been a specialty of Manning Sullivan, a local builder.</p><br>
<p>The building was used in commerce by William Rabinowitz (1873-1935), a Jewish immigrant. His residence was at the rear of the building. It is also significant in that the second floor was used as the original county courthouse from 1915 (one year after the formation of the county) until a new courthouse (the Bacon County Courthouse) was built in 1920. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 27, 1987.</p><br>
