<p>The Hunter–Hattenburg House is a historic Queen Anne-style house in Kankakee, Illinois, United States. It was built for William R. Hunter, a prominent lawyer in Kankakee who had previously served as Kankakee City Attorney and would later serve on the 12th Illinois Circuit Court. In 1942, the house was purchased by Kankakee mayor Albert F. Hattenburg.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>William R. Hunter was born in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada in 1858. Hunter spent much of his early life helping his father on the family farm. He moved to Kankakee, Illinois, United States in 1879. There, he was schooled by the pastor of the local Baptist Church and trained as a stenographer. While working this profession, he studied law in the office of Judge John W. Orr. Hunter was admitted to the bar in 1882, the same year he married his first wife Lillian Morrison. In 1886, after a brief sojourn in Los Angeles, California to recover from bronchitis, Hunter was appointed Kankakee City Attorney. In 1892, he joined Harry K. Wheeler to form a law firm. Lillian died in Colorado Springs, Colorado in January 1893; Hunter married his second wife Zula B. Fry in 1894.</p><br>
<p>By 1898, Hunter had amassed enough of a fortune to build a stately residence on the Kankakee River. The Hunter House cost $6800, three times the average price of a home in Kankakee. In 1933, Hunter was appointed a judge for the 12th Illinois Circuit Court. He served in this role until his death in 1939.</p><br>
<p>Albert F. Hattenburg purchased the house in 1942. Hattenburg moved to Kankakee after World War I and opened the Hattenburg Pharmacy in the Arcade Building. In 1937, Hattenburg was elected mayor of Kankakee as a Republican and served for 16 years. The house remained in the hands of the Hattenburg family until 2001.</p><br>
<p>The Hunter–Hattenburg House is one of the finest examples of Queen Anne architecture in Kankakee. Twenty-four Queen Anne Houses were built in Kankakee, but five were demolished and others have lost their architectural integrity. On August 22, 1986, the house was recognized by the National Park Service as a contributing property to the Riverview Historic District. On January 31, 2008, the house was recognized with an individual listing.</p><br>
<p>The Old State Capitol is located in Milledgeville, Georgia. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 13, 1970. It is located on Greene Street and is now a museum. Georgia&#39;s original state capitol was in Louisville, Georgia. On December 12, 1804, the state legislature voted to designate Milledgeville as the capital of Georgia. In 1805, $60,000 was appropriated to build a capitol building; and a planned city with elements of Savannah, Georgia, and Washington D.C., was proposed, for centrally-located Milledgeville. Jett Thomas and John Thomas were the</p><br>
<p>general contractors for the construction work.</p><br>
<p>The Georgia Legislature met in the yet-to-be-completed building for the first time in 1807. The Marquis de Lafayette visited the building in 1825 while on his tour through the United States. Expansions were completed to north and south wings in 1828 and 1834, respectively. East and west porticoes with granite steps were added in 1835.</p><br>
<p>Georgias Secession Convention in 1861 was held in the building, and a vote for secession carried on January 19, 1861. Governor Joe Brown worked from the building, conducting the affairs of the state militia and engaging in disputes with C.S.A. President Jefferson Davis from the capitol and the nearby Governors Mansion.</p><br>
<p>Brown and others fled the capitol ahead of the arrival of General William Tecumseh Sherman&#39;s Union Army. They occupied the city of Milledgeville on November 23, 1864. The Old Capitol building was damaged but was left standing, while armories and magazines on Statehouse Square were destroyed. In 1868, during Reconstruction, the legislature moved the capital to Atlanta, a city emerging as the symbol of the New South as opposed to Milledgeville, seen as being connected to the Old South.</p><br>
<p>The statehouse was used as the court house for Baldwin County, Georgia from 1871 - 1879. Then it was used for the Middle Georgia Military and Agricultural College, which became Georgia Military College in 1900. The building remains the center of the college campus and is open for tours.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Ben Hill County was created from parts of Irwin and Wilcox counties in 1907, and Fitzgerald was selected as the county seat.</p><br>
<p>A bond was approved for the county courthouse by 1908, and Virginia architect Henry H. Huggins was selected as architect by the county commissioners from a group of fourteen proposals. The building initially had a clock tower atop it, but it fell through to the ground-floor lobby sometime in the mid-20th century and was never replaced.</p><br>
<p>A granite war memorial on the courthouse lawn reads: "In grateful appreciation of the boys of Ben Hill County who gave their service during the World War. Erected by Nathaniel Abney Chapter, Daughters of American Revolution, Dec. 28, 1928."</p><br>

<p>Villa Albicini is a historic house in Macon, Georgia that was built in the 1920s. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<p>It is located at 150 Tucker Road. It was designed by Macon architect Neel Reid and built by Daniel Hogan, a local florist, in the 1920s. It is named for 17th-century embroideries made under the supervision of Italian princess Albicini that are displayed in the house. It is located on property that was part of the Idle Hour Stock Farm, known for its racehorses and racetrack. Hogan&#39;s nursery business on the property was known as the Idle Hour Nursery.</p><br>
<p>Design for the building was likely begun by architect Neel Reid before his death, and the Hentz, Reid and Adler firm then completed it. Philip Shutze, specifically, received credit for this house&#39;s design. The design combines a facade and plan of an Italian church, a Renaissance villa, and American architectural design elements.</p><br>
<p>The Thaddeus Goode Holt Peeler House, also known as the Holt–Peeler–Snow House, is a historic residence in Macon, Georgia. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 21, 1971. It is located at 1129 Georgia Avenue.</p><br>
<p>The three-story house is an "exceptional example of Greek Revival architecture". It is one of few "old residences in the state having the horseshoe entrance steps with wrought iron railings." It was built about 1840 for Judge Thaddeus Goode Holt, following a design by Elam Alexander. It was his home and later home of Thaddeus Goode Holt Jr., a Confederate officer.</p><br>
<p>Architecture-wise, it has a raised main floor and a portico with Doric columns. It was "originally prostyle with six fluted wood columns, continuous guttae on the architrave, applied wreaths on the frieze, and a sloping wood parapet or coaming with acroteria; later changes added well-matched columns of formed sheet metal on the East or Orange Street side and a rounded corner entablature, graceful in itself but not compatible with the symmetrical parapet which was removed, as were the frieze wreaths which may have posed as well a problem of aesthetic spacing."</p><br>
<p>The Sidney Lanier Cottage is a historic cottage on High Street in Macon, Georgia that was the birthplace of poet Sidney Lanier. It was built in 1840 and was renovated to its present Gothic Revival style in 1880.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Sidney Lanier was born in the High Street home of his grandfather in 1842. Lanier is best known for his regional poems, including "The Marshes of Glynn", "The Song of the Chattahoochee", and "Sunrise". Lanier&#39;s parents, Sterling Robert Sampson Lanier and Mary Jane Anderson Lanier, were living in nearby Griffin, Georgia, but Mary Jane went to the home of her in-laws to give birth to her first child.</p><br>
<p>The white frame Victorian home was built in 1840 as a four-room cottage, though it was altered extensively over the years. In 1879, the building was moved fifty feet and the family added two rooms to the second floor as well as a porch.</p><br>
<h2>Museum today</h2><br>
<p>The home served as a private residence for many years before its purchase by the Middle Georgia Historical Society in 1973. Now part of a Macon historic district, the Sidney Lanier Cottage includes various artifacts representing the authors life and work, including the silver alto flute he used with Baltimores Peabody Symphony and first editions of his books. The museum is operated by the Historic Macon Foundation.</p><br>
<p>Bleckley County Courthouse is the historic county courthouse of Bleckley County. It is located at Second Street on Courthouse Square in the county seat of Cochran. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 18, 1980.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Bleckley County was formed in 1912. The county jail and courthouse were built the following year. The county courthouse opened on January 1, 1914, and has continuously been the county&#39;s courthouse since. The courthouse predates the city hall and city auditorium, which were built in 1928.</p><br>
<p>The architect J.J. Baldwin of the architectural firm of Gayre & Baldwin designed the courthouse, one of eight Georgia courthouses designed by Baldwin. The building is in the Classical Revival style. It is made of brick, with white columns and stone trim. Wilbur W. Caldwell writes that while the building it "pleasant and serviceable... it lacks exuberance and flair," and it is one indication that by 1912, "the age of flamboyant courthouse building was over in Georgia," as county courthouse design became more restrained.</p><br>
<p>Hillcrest, also known as Cedar Hall,</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. It was deemed significant architecturally as a "fine example of a turn-of-the-century Neoclassical style house in Cochran." Neoclassical features include its monumental portico, large rooms, and details in its interior, such as paneled wainscoting, built-ins, and Ionic columns and urns in stairways and room dividers.</p><br>
<p>It was also deemed of local historical importance for its association with two prominent families, those of John Joseph Taylor (1855–1917) and of John Augustus Walker. Taylor was president of the Cochran Banking Company, the builder of Cochrans opera house, and owner of a general store and of a cotton mill and warehouse. Taylor built "Hillcrest" next door to his own home, as a wedding present for the 1910 marriage of his daughter Alice with John Augustus Walker. Walker was Cochrans postmaster during 1933–1941 and also worked for the bank. The house remained in the family until 1965.</p><br>
<p>Dr. Virlon Griner, pastor of Cochran&#39;s First Baptist Church, began its restoration during his ownership 1970–1981.</p><br>
<p>The Sylvester Mumford House was a historic residence in Brantley County, Georgia near Waynesville that was built in c. 1848. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. The home burned on March 23, 2005.</p><br>
<p>It was the home of Sylvester Mumford (1810-1889), who owned a store in Waynesville and served as Postmaster. It was a "two-over-two room" Plantation Plain-style wood frame house with Greek Revival influences. A Victorian style front porch and two wings built after the Civil War reflect the concern of its owner to keep up with architectural style. Three historic outbuildings were included in the NRHP nomination.</p><br>
<p>The family was "particularly well-remembered in the area because Mumford&#39;s daughter, Gertrude Mumford Parkhurst, used money inherited from her parents to establish three still-existing funds for the education of poor white girls and orphans from Brantley County."</p><br>
<p>The homesite is located off USA 84.</p><br>
<p>The Brooks County Jail is a historic building in Quitman, Georgia. It was built in 1884 and served as Brooks County&#39;s only jail until 1980.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It is located at 200 South Madison Street.</p><br>
<p>The jail was built in 1884 by contractor Simeon A. Remington to replace an uninsured wooden 1867 jail which "burned to the ground" on June 17, 1880. It was built to be fireproof and cost $3,870 for the building plus $2,000 for its free-standing two-story steel cells. The jail "was considered one of the best in the state, and housed prisoners until 1980 when it no longer met state fire and criminal justice codes. It was a site of executions.</p><br>
<p>A 1981 review asserted that the building is architecturally significant as "the county&#39;s prime example of Romanesque style architecture."</p><br>
<p>Bethlehem Primitive Baptist Church and Cemetery is a historic site in Quitman, Georgia. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. The church congregation was organized in 1834 and the church building was built c. 1861. It is located on County Road 125.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed notable as one of the last surviving antebellum buildings in rural Brooks County, and also "for its simple form, design, and craftsmanship, typical not only of rural churches but also of Primitive Baptist churches." It is notable also as very early example of a Primitive Baptist church, as the generally accepted date of the founding of the Primitive Baptist faith in the United States (in Black Rock, Maryland) is just two years earlier, in 1832. The church building was used by the congregation from c.1861 to 1965, and again from 1981 to 1984.</p><br>

The executors of Young&#39;s estate sold Kilkenny to Charles Rogers of Savannah and Sapelo Island on January 21, 1836. The land was used to raise Sea Island cotton. The property fronts the Kilkenny River and overlooks tidal salt marsh out towards Ossabaw, the St. Catherines Islands and Ossabaw Islands, with access to St. Catherines Sound. Rogers built a wooden frame house ca. 1845 that still exists. A Union gunboat shelled the property from the Bear River during the USA Civil War.</p><br>
<p>After the Civil War Kilkenny plantation was purchased by James M. Butler in 1874. It was then acquired by James H. Furber in January 1890 and the Kilkenny Club was established. In 1889 a well was drilled.</p><br>
<p>The property was owned by Former Tennessee governor John Cox and Henry Ford (June 1930). Ford restored it. Ford also restored the structures that had been used as slave cabins, but they were later demolished.</p><br>

<p>The Fitch-Hoose House  is a single-family house at 6 Gulf Road in Dalton, Massachusetts. The wood frame house was built in 1846, and is a representative of housing of the African American community in Dalton in the 19th century. It was built in 1846 in a part of Dalton called The Gulf that was known to be settled by freed or escaped African Americans in the early 19th century. The house was built in 1848 by William Bogart, and immediately sold to Henry Fitch, a local African American. After a succession of owners, including local papermaking magnate Zenas M. Crane , the property was purchased in 1868 by Charles Hoose, member of an African American family that had been resident in Dalton since at least 1830. The Hoose family occupied the house until 2001. The property then fell vacant, was taken by the town through tax foreclosure proceedings in 2004. Since then it has been the focus of restoration work by the local historic commission. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>

<p>The c.1875 church was replaced in the 1890s and the church was again rebuilt in 1912. In the early 1900s a school was built behind the church which served grades one through six. The property has a cemetery that was started in the 1930s, next to the church, after burials at a church-associated original cemetery on Millhaven Plantation (about 4.5 miles away, to the southeast) were ceased. The cemetery has "simple granite markers". Baptisms associated with the church took place in Brier Creek, about one mile to the north.</p><br>
<p>In its NRHP nomination, the church was deemed significant architecturally as "an excellent example of a rural African-American church with a cemetery" in Georgia, having characteristics identified as typical for the type.

<p>The Hillsdale County Courthouse is a government building located at 29 North Howell Street in Hillsdale, Michigan. It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1969 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Hillsdale County was set off from Lenawee County in 1829. The original county seat, Jonesville, was chosen in 1831. In 1839, the more centrally located Hillsdale began agitating for the seat, and in 1843 the state legislature agreed. A temporary structure was erected as a courthouse on this site; it was soon followed by a 30 ft by 50 ft frame structure. That structure burned in 1849, and a new sandstone courthouse was completed by early 1851.</p><br>
<p>By 1887, it was recognized that a new courthouse was necessary. However, voters did not approve the funds necessary until 1898, when $45,000 was allocated for this building. The county hired Claire Allen of Jackson to design the building and Geake and Henry of Fort Wayne, Indiana to construct it. Construction occurred over 1898-99, and the building was dedicated on September 6, 1899.</p><br>
<p>A clock was added to the clock tower in 1909, and was refurbished in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Hillsdale County Courthouse is a three-story yellow sandstone Renaissance Revival structure. Its hip roof is surmounted with a copper-roofed cupola. A pedimented portico covers the main entrance.</p><br>

<p>The home&#39;s cellars were used during the American Civil War for a meat packing operation to feed Confederate soldiers, and ground were used as for the slaughter of thousands of cows, hogs and sheep that were pickled in barrels.</p><br>
<p>On the second floor is a room known as "Tifts Hall" that was made into a theater. It was described as the social center of Albany. Tift hired artists from New York to decorate the halls walls and ceilings with ornate frescoes. The room was used to host actors, hold dances, stage plays, and was also used for Ku Klux Klan meetings.</p><br>
<p>In 1887, Nelson Tift sold his bridge rights to Dougherty County, which later built a new bridge south of the Bridge House. The building was home for several decades to an auto parts store, and following the Flood of 1994, was purchased by Dougherty County as part of downtown Albany&#39;s redevelopment. The Bridge House was meticulously restored under the direction of David Maschke, a local architect, and reopened as the Albany Welcome Center in August 2008.</p><br>
<p>New Albany Hotel is a historic hotel in Albany, Georgia. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 17, 1982. It is now being used as a senior living facility known as Albany Heights. It is located at 245 Pine Street. Sam Farkas was the hotels manager. The hotel advertised 115 room with 115 baths on one cent stamp postcards. A 1941 postcard promotes the town as "the worlds greatest paper shell pecan center", "the bird dog capital of the world", "mecca for sportsmen in this field" and noted that the "famous Radium Springs resort is one of the most beautiful natural springs in the South". A more recent Wm. E Rothwell postcard advertised 150 rooms, a European plan, coffee shop, banquet facilities, combination tubs and showers, and circulating ice water.</p><br>
<p>The Early County Courthouse  is the historic county courthouse of Early County, Georgia, located on Courthouse Square in Blakely, Georgia, the county seat. It is also a contributing building in the Blakely Court Square Historic District, NRHP-listed in 2002.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Early County was chartered in 1818 and Blakely was established as the county seat in 1825. Early County&#39;s first courthouse was a log building, first used in 1827. That building was sold for $13 and moved, making way for the second courthouse, a two-story wooden building built in 1834.</p><br>
<p>The county&#39;s third courthouse, a western-facing building, was built in 1857-58 by Thomas Williams for $4,650; it was sold for $155 to make way for the fourth and present courthouse, built in 1904-1905. The third courthouse was described by the Early County News as dangerously unsafe and dilapidated, and the proposal to build a new court building "was tinted with a light wash of New South fervor and an outpouring of self-promotion." The grand jury recommended a new courthouse, and a January 1905 piece by the Early County News praised an architectural rendering of the proposed design by the architects Thomas Henry Morgan and John Robert Dillon, as "the handsomest structure of its kind in Southern Georgia" which would "be in keeping with the wealth and prosperity of Early County--the Garden spot of Georgia."</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The courthouse is two and half stories and is made of brick and marble. It is in the Neoclassical (Classical Revival) style and is surrounded by smaller buildings, grass, and trees, providing a recreational space and a center for community activities. The courthouse has a low dome, of the Beaux-Arts style.</p><br>
<p>On the courthouse square is an original wooden Confederate flagpole, erected in 1861; the monument is 100 feet tall and is believed to be the only original Confederate flagpole still standing. The courthouse square also contains a monument to the peanut, carved in stone atop a pedestal, commemorating the enduring importance of this cash crop to the region.</p><br>
<p>Alden is an island in Askvoll Municipality in Sogn og Fjordane County, Norway. The 3.4 km&sup2; island lies off the mainland coast of the Sunnfjord region. The island sits a few kilometers west of the mouth of the Dalsfjorden, 2 km to the east of the Værlandet islands and about 5 km west of the island of Atløyna. The residents of the island live on the southern shore of the island. The only access to the island is by boat. There are no regular ferries that stop at the island. The nearest ferry stop is on Værlandet island, about 2.2 km to the southwest. The ferry at Værlandet travels to the village of Askvoll about 20 km to the east.</p><br>
<p>The island is most notable for its 460 m tall mountain called Norskehesten. The mountain dominates the island, giving it very steep coastlines. The only habitable area is on a small flat coastal area on the southern shore. The towering mountain is a familiar landmark to the fishermen who have sailed the local waters for centuries.</p><br>
<p>The Van Dorn House is a historic residence in Port Gibson, Mississippi built on land bought by Peter Aaron Van Dorn. It was also the childhood home of his son, who became Major General Earl Van Dorn. The residence was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 21, 1971. It is located on Van Dorn Drive.</p><br>
<p>Earl Van Dorn was killed by a bullet over an alleged affair. His body was brought back to Mississippi and buried at Wintergreen Cemetery in Port Gibson. His father Peter had also been buried there and Earl Van Dorn was laid to rest beside him.</p><br>
<h2>Peter Van Dorn</h2><br>
<p>Jackson, Mississippi was originally planned, in April 1822, by Peter Van Dorn in a "checkerboard" pattern advocated by Thomas Jefferson, in which city blocks alternated with parks and other open spaces, giving the appearance of a checkerboard. This plan has not lasted to the present day.</p><br>
<p>McGregor (Port Gibson, Mississippi), located on SR 547 in Port Gibson, Mississippi, was designed by Peter Aaron Van Dorn for his daughter in a Greek Revival architecture style and built in 1835.</p><br>
<h2>Major General Earl Van Dorn</h2><br>
<p>It was the childhood home of Gen. Earl Van Dorn. A marker at the site gives the date of the home as ca. 1830 and the style as Federal architecture. It was built by Peter A. Van Dorn, a judge and circuit court clerk who was born in New Jersey and moved to Mississippi at age 21 after his wife died in Virginia. He bought the land in 1826. He was first clerk of the Georgia State House of Representatives. Earl Van Dorn had a prominent role in the War with Mexico and was a Confederate general in the American Civil War.</p><br>
<p>Possum Poke is a historic hunting retreat outside Poulan, Georgia, United States, and for years was the winter home of Chase Osborn, a former governor of Michigan, author and adventurer. It was a hunting camp. The two main buildings are "Big Poke" and "Little Poke". The "Big Poke" home was owned by Osborn, and he died there in 1949. Stone monuments on the grounds commemorate him and his longtime confidante and second wife Stellanova Osborn, who died in 1988. Though these monuments are sometimes mistaken for the couple&#39;s gravestones, the Osborns are actually buried in Michigan.</p><br>
<p>The site is located on Possum Lane off USA Route 82. It is managed by the Sylvester-Worth County Chamber of Commerce, is open to the public, and is rentable for special events.</p><br>
<p>On April 25, 1974 three marker monuments, two boulders from the Hiawatha National Forest on Lake Superior and a flagpole were dedicated at the site. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 26, 1982. The ownership of Possum Poke transferred from Worth County to the Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College in March 1999. At the time of the transfer, the condition of the house was deteriorating.</p><br>
<p>Campbell-Jordan House, also known as the Campbell-Jordan-Lindsey-Farnell House, is a historic residence in Washington, Georgia. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 14, 1971. It is located at 208 Liberty Street.</p><br>
<p>The Federal architecture-style home was built in 1787 and underwent a Greek Revival architecture-style makeover in 1841, including the addition of large columns. The original cottage was built by William Stith after 1787 and was bought in 1807 by Duncan Campbell who enlarged it. The western part of the structure was likely built by Judge Albert Gallatin Semmes. In 1841, Aaron A. Cleveland added the colonnade. The home was the residence of USA Supreme Court Justice and C.S.A. Assistant Secretary of War, John Archibald Campbell.</p><br>
<p>The Carnegie Library of Moultrie is a historic Carnegie Library on a corner lot in downtown Moultrie, Georgia that was built in 1908. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It is located at 39 North Main Street.</p><br>

<p>Wright Hotel is a historic hotel at 201 East Market Street in Chatsworth, in Murray County, Georgia, that was built in 1909. It is a two-story brick building with two-story porches. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>Its NRHP nomination notes that the hotelreflects its local, vernacular, do-it-yourself origins.</p><br>
<p>Built by its owner-operator, Thomas Monroe Wright, and his cousin, Thomas Banks, a builder from Cleveland, Tennessee, it shows few signs of high style architecture. Local materials were used as much as possible. Bricks were manufactured a few blocks away at the now defunct Chatsworth Brick Company. Timber was cut from Mr. Wrights nearby farm and aged for a year before being used in the hotel construction. The surrounding two-story porches made excellent use of one of the areas greatest resources, cool mountain air. The ten foot deep foundation and twelve inch thick exterior walls reflect the care with which Mr. Wright constructed the building. The hotel&#39;s modest scale, simplicity of design and structural solidity give it real integrity. The building no longer functions as a hotel, but it has survived</p><br>
<p>remarkably intact."</p><br>
<p>New Perry Hotel is a historic hotel in Perry, Georgia, located at 800 Main Street. It consists of a three-story Neoclassical hotel built in 1925 and a one-story, eight-room Colonial Revival motel, which was built in 1955 and enlarged in 1959 with a pool and cabana.

<p>The Zabarwan Range is a short  long) sub-mountain range between Pir Panjal and Great Himalayan Range in the central part of the Kashmir Valley in the state of Jammu and Kashmir in India.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The Zabarwan Range borders the central part of the Kashmir Valley in the east. Literally it is the mountain range between Sind Valley and Lidder Valley on the north and south, and between the Zanskar Range and Jehlum Valley on the east and west, respectively. Specifically the range is known to be what overlooks the Dal Lake and holds the Mughal gardens of Srinagar. The north end of the range lies in Ganderbal, while the south end lies in Pampore. The Shankaracharya Temple is built on the edge of the central part of the Zabarwan Range. The highest peak of this range is Mahadev Peak at 13,013 ft, which forms the distant background of the eastern mountain wall.</p><br>
<p>On the northern slopes of the central part of the range there are three Mughal gardens built by Emperor Shah Jahan. These include Chashma Shahi, Nishat Bagh and Shalimar Garden alongside the Pari Mahal (the fairy palace). The recently built Indira Gandhi Memorial Tulip Garden in the lap of the Zabarwans is considered the largest tulip garden of Asia spread over 12 hectares of land.</p><br>
<h2>Wildlife</h2><br>
<p>The Zabarwan mountain range possesses great Himalayan features with rich wildlife. The Dachigam National Park, spread over 141 km, is the main feature of the range. The Dachigam National Park holds the last viable population of Kashmir stag (Hangul) and the largest population of black bear in Asia. The range is also home to musk deer, leopard, Himalayan brown bear, leopard cat, jungle cat, red fox, jackal, Himalayan wolf, serow, Himalayan yellow-throated marten, long-tailed marmot, Indian porcupine, Himalayan mouse-hare, langur and Himalayan weasel.</p><br>
<h2>Climate</h2><br>
<p>The climate of the Zabarwans can be summed up from the climate of Dachigam. It is a sub-Mediterranean type, with two spells of dryness from April to June and September to November. The range has irregular weather conditions with a considerable variation in the amount of precipitation. Snow is the main source of precipitation, and in some parts melts till June. The annual minimum and maximum rainfall of the Zabarwans ranges between 32 mm to 546 mm.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>The crystalline axis of the Himalayan system contains the oldest rocks, and in the northern flank of this crystalline axis are found fossiliferous sediments of marine origin. The Zabarwan Range has crystalline rocks such as granite, schists and phyllites with embedded lime stone, which form the core of its parent range. The western region from Khanmoh to the east of Mahadev consists of shale, calacarious slates and blue limestone. The sediments composing this range have been laid from Cambrian to Tertiary. The soil depth in Dachigam on the slope from lower to middle reaches is less than 25 cm, and hence falls under the category of very shallow soils.</p><br>
<p>Battersea is a historic home located at Petersburg, Virginia. It was built in 1768 for Colonel John Banister , the first mayor of Petersburg, a colonel of calvary in the Revolutionary War, member to the House of Burgesses and Continental Congress, and signer of the Virginia Declaration of Rights, Virginia State Constitution, and Articles of Confederation. It is a symmetrical five-part Palladian house consisting of a two-story central block topped by a pyramidal roof, one-story wings that act as hyphens, and 1 1/2-story end pavilions. Although modeled in the Palladian style, its unique character is adapted to a colonial American lifestyle. The designer remains a mystery, but he would have been conversant in European tastes of the day. Also on the property are the contributing greenhouse and a kitchen, which may have additionally served as a laundry and servants’ quarter. The brick greenhouse, or orangerie, is significant for its rarity and design. Built between 1825-1835, it is almost 190 years old and remains one of the few of its kind still in existence.</p><br>
<p>Battersea has been privately owned since 2006, and was purchased by the Battersea Foundation in 2011. Battersea Foundation is a nonprofit who&#39;s mission is to preserve Historic Battersea and offer educational, artistic and cultural experiences that inform, enrich and inspire the public. They host several events at Battersea throughout the year. To learn more, visit http://batterseafound.org</p><br>
<p>Battersea was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1969.</p><br>
<p>The Clinton African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church is a historic church at 9 Elm Court in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. It was the first African American church in Berkshire, and it was a place where noted Great Barrington native W.E.B. Du Bois is known to have attended services. The Shingle style church was completed in 1887, and continues to serve as a center of African American worship in southern Berkshire County.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>African Americans have been resident in Berkshire County, Massachusetts since colonial days. Some were slaves, while others were either freemen or escaped slaves. Prior to the establishment of the Clinton AME church, these people attended church services with the county&#39;s white population. After the American Civil War there was an influx of southern African Americans into the area, and an informal AME congregation began to take shape as early as the 1860s. In 1881 this congregation, a mixture of newer southern and older northern African American families, purchased the land on Elm Court on which their church was built in 1887. Difficulties in fundraising delayed the start of construction until 1886, and the church was formally dedicated the following year. The Shingle style structure cost $4,275. Attendees of the church are known to include the future civil rights activist W.E.B. Du Bois, whose uncle was active in the congregation. Its membership is responsible for the establishment of other African American church congregations elsewhere in the county.</p><br>
<p>In 1938, after a successful fundraising campaign, the congregation added a parsonage to the property. The church basement was finished in the 1940s and 1950s to provide a location for social functions, and the church has since then had its original doors and windows replaced, albeit in a historically sensitive way. The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The basic structure of the church as built in the 1880s was a rectangular block measuring 55 by 24, with a truss roof. The gable ends of the building were shingled with decorative shingles. A 30 ft tower is attached at the northeast corner of the building, which also provides a vestibule space separating the main entrance from the sanctuary. The sanctuary measures 39 by 24, lined with twenty pews; there are four windows on each side, containing some stained glass decoration. The pulpit, made of ash, stands to the right, while a platform for the choir and organ stands to the left at the front of the sanctuary. The sanctuary walls were originally wainscoted; this work has been covered by paneling. Behind the sanctuary is a vestry room, somewhat altered from the original by the addition of the parsonage in the 1930s.</p><br>
<p>When originally built, the church had a trap door in the southeast corner to gain access to the basement. In 1951 this was replaced by stairs to provide access to the finished basement space. The basement space has a low ceiling, and roughly matches the dimensions of the sanctuary above. A space on the west side of the basement houses kitchen facilities and the church&#39;s heating system, which extend to some extent under the parsonage.</p><br>
<p>The parsonage has a basic center hall floor plan, with the living room occupying part of the original church vestry. The second floor contains three bedrooms and a bathroom. The parsonage space is little altered since its construction in the 1930s.</p><br>
<p>The Mahaiwe Block is a commercial building in the heart of downtown Great Barrington, Massachusetts. In addition to smaller business, it houses the Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center, the towns only major performance space. It has been in virtually continuous operation since its construction in 1905. The building is located at 6-14 Castle St. and 314-322 Main St, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The buildings condition and fate in the 1990s were a major contributing factor in the establishment of local preservation ordinances. The building takes its name from an earlier structure on the site, which its owner called "Mahaiwe House".</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Performance Center opened in September 1905 as a vaudeville house, it became a movie theater in the mid 1920s. The last company that showed first run films there, the Hoyts Theater chain, sold it to the Berkshire Opera Company and today shows classic films.</p><br>
<p>The Kankakee County Courthouse in Courthouse Square is a historic building in Kankakee, Illinois, United States that has been home to the government of Kankakee County since 1912. The current structure, the third county courthouse, took three years to build and is considered a fine example of Beaux-Arts architecture.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The area now known as Courthouse Square in Kankakee, Illinois was originally used by the Pottawatomi as a council ground. European settlement began in 1832 with the Treaty of Camp Tippecanoe. In 1851, the Illinois Central Railroad decided to build a station in what is now Kankakee. The Associates Land Company, formed by supporters of the Illinois Central, purchased and platted the land around the station, calling it Kankakee Depot. When Kankakee County was formed in 1853, Kankakee Depot competed with Momence to be named county seat. The influence of the Associates Land Company, who offered to donate a large block of land and $5000 for a courthouse, swayed voters to select Kankakee Depot as seat.</p><br>
<p>The first Kankakee County Courthouse was built shortly thereafter. The three-story building became a social center and trading place in addition to its capacities in county government. Stephen A. Douglas gave a speech in front of the courthouse during his 1858 Senate Campaign. On May 17, 1861, it was home to Kankakee County&#39;s only case of capital punishment when an African-American man was hanged from the second floor for the murder of a white girl. On October 5, 1872, the courthouse was destroyed in a fire. The limestone walls were cleaned and re-used in the second courthouse. The new courthouse was built to similar specification as the first. The main difference was the cupola, which was railed higher than the first. The courthouse opened in October 1873.</p><br>
<p>By the 1900s, it was evident that the county courthouse was too small for the county&#39;s use. The county population had recently grown to 37,000, an increase of 8,000 over the previous decade. In November 1908, voters approved the construction of a new courthouse, the current structure. Zachary Taylor Davis was awarded the commission for the building. It was built by Lafayette, Indiana contractor W. F. Stilwell for $187,000. Construction began on October 2, 1909 and finished in July 1912. In the 1930s, a protest with 200 farmers gathered at the courthouse to demand changes in property tax laws so that they would be paid after the harvest. By 1950, the population of the county exceeded 73,500 thanks to an industrial boom in the late 1940s.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse has remained in use since its 1912 opening. On March 7, 2007, the building was recognized by the National Park Service with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Durham–Perry Farmstead is a park and open-air museum in Bourbonnais, Illinois on the grounds of the former Thomas Durham farm. The buildings reflect the agricultural practices of Illinois farmers in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The heavy timber framed buildings are representative of northern Illinois construction trends between the 1830s and 1850s.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Fur trader Jacque Jonveau was awarded a 640 acre land grant from the General Land Office following the Treaty of Camp Tippecanoe in October 1832. Jonveau was of mixed Pottawatomi and French descent and was thus eligible for one of the ten grants set aside for persons of Pottawatomi blood. It does not appear that Jonveau ever built a structure on the grant.</p><br>
<p>Thomas Durham was born in Richmond, Virginia in 1784 and moved with his family to Tennessee by 1804. In the late 1810s, Sometime shortly after 1826, Durham moved to Vermilion County, Illinois to work as a bricklayer. Durham may have met Gordon S. Hubbard, the regional director for the American Fur Company, at his trading post in Iroquois County in 1827. Durham worked for Hubbard in 1832, supervising the construction of the Vermilion County Courthouse, and again in 1834 building a warehouse in Chicago.</p><br>
<p>Between these two jobs, Durham traveled the Hubbard Trace, a road between Chicago and Danville, which passed through Bourbonnais Township. Durham camped in the township and enjoyed the surroundings so much that he purchased a 160 acre tract from Hubbard in 1835; it is not known how Hubbard came to have possession of Jonveau&#39;s holdings. Local Pottawatomi helped the Durham family build a teepee, while a log cabin was under construction. Soon, a large farmhouse replaced the cabin. Durham may have used his farmhouse as a tavern, as traffic along the Hubbard Trace was heavy in the late 1830s. By 1850, Durham extended the family holdings to 320 acre, half of which was developed.</p><br>
<p>Durhams daughter Martha married David Perry, who owned a house on a 1 acre lot across the road from Durhams. Perry, a carpenter, came to Kankakee County from Vermont. Perry owned a sawmill in nearby Momence. When Durham died in March 1854, the land passed to Durhams sons. However, after some failed business ventures in Kankakee, they had little money. Perry offered to purchase the farm, thus keeping the house in the family while also supporting the Durhams operations.</p><br>
<p>Perry remodeled the house shortly after he and Martha moved in. He lived there and farmed the land until his death in 1887, when the land passed to his son Alvah. Alvah Perry only used the property for vacations, as he was usually busy as a cattle broker in the Union Stock Yards in Chicago. In 1891, he sold the property east of the road to developer J. Herman Hardebeck. In 1924, Perry rented the western property to Armand DuVoisin, a Swiss immigrant, who tended the remaining acreage. DuVoisin worked the farm until his 1950 retirement.</p><br>
<p>Lomira Perry, the last living child of Alvah Perry, died in 1961. In her will, she deeded the property to the Illinois Department of Conservation with the hopes that a park would be developed. Perry stipulated that DuVoisin descendants could continue to operate the farm, which they continue to do as of 2006.</p><br>
<p>On May 31, 2006, the National Park Service recognized the property with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Perry Farm Park</h2><br>
<p>Ownership of the property was transferred to the Bourbonnais Township Park District in 1989, which developed the property as Perry Farm Park. The park features open recreation areas, 4 miles of walking trails, and the Exploration Station children&#39;s museum. The Perry Farm Living History Area includes the farmhouse, which now houses the Park District and is used as an interpretive center, the horse barn, an English barn and farm animals.</p><br>
<p>The Wheeler Family Farmstead is a historic farm complex at 817 South Main Street in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. The farmhouse has elements dating to the 1730s, including evidence of building methods used by Dutch settlers of the Hudson River valley, and has been successively modified in each of the following centuries, with the last significant work occurring in the 1920s. All of the surviving farm buildings in the complex are at least 90 years old, and some date to the 19th century. The complex sits on a 1.5 acre parcel of land between US Route 7 and the Housatonic River that is a remnant of what was once a much large farm. The property also exhibits evidence of Native American habitation prior to the arrival of European colonists. The property was occupied by members of the Wheeler family from 1747 until 1988, and was conveyed by the heirs of the last residents to the Great Barrington Historical Society in 2008. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011. The historical society is, as of 2013, raising funds to adapt the property for use as its headquarters.</p><br>
<p>St. Thomas African Methodist Episcopal Church is a historic African-American church in Hawkinsville, Georgia, located at 401 North Dooly Street. It is a large brick building on the northwest corner of North Dooly Street and Second Street, built 1908-1912, replacing a wood building built in 1877. Some of its historical integrity was lost due to non-historic additions and alterations. Restrooms were added in the 1950s, ceiling tiles in the 1960s, carpeting in 1982, interior partitions and new windows in 1987, new steps in 1988, and new pews and air conditioning in 1989. It has a steeply pitched gable-front roof. The interior has an open space with a pulpit, with three sections of pews. It is one of the last remaining buildings of a historically African-American neighborhood and was the largest and only brick building in the neighborhood.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 7, 2000.</p><br>
<p>West Stockbridge Town Hall is the seat of government of the town of West Stockbridge, Massachusetts. It is located at 9 Main Street. The two story Greek Revival building was built in 1854, and has retained much of its original woodwork and integrity despite its use for a variety of civic purposes in the time since its construction. One of the few prominent 20th century exterior alterations is the addition of a cupola in 1978 to house the bell of an 1878 schoolhouse. Although it was built with the idea that other businesses would also occupy parts of the building, the town has taken over the entire space, which now also includes the public library. The downstairs houses some town offices and the library, and the upstairs, which was originally a large open hall with a stage at one end, has been partitioned for further office space, although these changes are reversible.</p><br>
<p>The hall was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<p>The Ewell Brown General Store is a commercial property in Lake Park, Georgia, located at the junction of Railroad Ave. with Lawrence Street, across the street from the railroad.
