<p>Lake Anosy anˈuːsi  is an artificial lake in the southern part of the capital city of Madagascar, Antananarivo, about 2 miles south of Haute-Ville. Ampefiloha is located to the west of the lake, Isoraka to the northwest and Mahamasina to the north. A swamp was replaced with Lake Anosy during the era of the ruler Radama I. The lake was constructed by James Cameron who gave it a shape of a heart. In the middle of the lake there is an island connected with the city by an isthmus. On the island there is a French-built memorial to those fallen in the first world war, the Monument aux Morts made by sculptor Barberis and architect Perrin in 1927. In the Radama I era there was a gunpowder factory on the island. Later there was built a summer residence for the Queen Ranavalona I. By the lakeside there grow jacaranda trees that flower in October and November. Great egrets use to take a rest by the lake. By the southern shore there are barbers&#39; kiosks. On the national independence day, June 26, an annual firework festival is arranged on the lake.</p><br>
<p>The Benjamin Gachet House  is a historic residence on GA 18, 3 miles west of Barnesville, Georgia. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 17, 1997. The home is located at the crossing of Five Points Road and Piedmont Road, now known as the Milner Cross Roads, originally used as trails by Native American tribes.</p><br>
<h2>The General LaFayette connection</h2><br>
<p>Benjamin Gachet was a French nobleman who fled from a revolution in San Domingo and settled in what is now Lamar County. A historical marker dedicated by the Lamar-LaFayette Chapter of N.S.D.A.R. is at the site, stating that General Marquis de LaFayette stayed with Gachet at the home on March 19, 1825, during an official visit to Georgia.</p><br>
<p>However, the general was still in Savannah on March 19, 1825. It has been determined that this visit to the Gachet House never occurred. LaFayette maintained detailed diaries of his travels and no record exists of this visit. The Indian trails that were traveled were more than 50 miles away, a considerable distance at the time.</p><br>
<p>Additionally, Benjamin Gachet lived in Jones county adjacent to Baldwin county, where Milledgeville was being visited by General LaFayette in 1825. Historians surmise that the general visited Gachet around that time and location.</p><br>
<p>So a family connection existed between the Gachets and the LaFayettes.</p><br>
<h2>The home</h2><br>
<p>The home was placed on the register, in part, due to it being an almost pristine example of plantation plan architecture. The chimneys and much of the clapboards are original. The kitchen, on the back of the house, off of the porch, was rebuilt. The two front bedrooms originally had separate entrances for each. The rooms have been referred to as "travelers rooms", "preacher rooms" and "strangers rooms". The Gachet house was known as a stagecoach stop in its history. Benjamin Gachet died at age 36 leaving several minor children and Mrs. Gachet likely earned a living to support her children by operating this stagecoach stop.</p><br>
<h2>Caroline M. Gachet</h2><br>
<p>Mrs. Gachet eventually sold the property to her son-in-law, Benjamin M. Milner, and moved to Alabama.</p><br>
<p>The gravesite of Caroline M. Gachet (November 12, 1792 USA - December 24, 1876) is believed to be at the Enon Cemetery in Bullock County, Alabama.</p><br>
<p>The Old Spalding County Courthouse, also used as the Spalding County Jail, in Griffin, Georgia are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was added November 22, 2000. The building&#39;s address is 232 East Broad Street.</p><br>
<p>The original Spalding County Courthouse was on the corner of 5th Street and Broadway Street. Constructed in 1859 for $12,000, it was located by the railroad tracks. Its steeple and clock tower were removed in 1910 and it was converted into a jail. It now houses the Spalding County Extension Service and 4H Offices.</p><br>
<h2>Second County Courthouse and New Spalding County Courthouse</h2><br>
<p>The second building to serve as the Spalding County Courthouse was at the corner of 6th and Solomon. It was designed by A. Ten Eyck Brown and completed in 1911. It was destroyed by fire on January 12, 1981. A shopping center was used as a temporary court and county office building until the new courthouse was built in 1982. The new courthouse was completed in 1985 by Baulding & Spandro.</p><br>
<p>The Sam Bailey Building, formerly the Sam Bailey Male Institute, is a historic school building in Griffin, Georgia. It was constructed in 1870 and is the oldest public school building in Griffin. Originally a private school it became a public in August 1873 before becoming private again in 1877. Eight years later it became public again. It was built for the Griffin Male Institute and was named for Sam Wesley Bailey, a banker and landowner who came to Griffin after the American Civil War and helped fund the school. A two-story brick structure with Italianate details, it is part of the Griffin High School and is connected to other buildings via covered walkways. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 20, 1973. It is located at East Poplar Street and 4th Street.</p><br>
<p>The school building was constructed by Jonathan Drake, a major building firm in Griffin. This ended in 1877 with the school returning to private status. It returned to the public system eight years later where it has remained.</p><br>
<p>Humpback Mountain is a mountain in the North Carolina High Country and the Pisgah National Forest, located southwest of Linville Falls. The mountain is accessible along the Blue Ridge Parkway, which ride along its eastern slop. The peak reaches an elevation of 4,245 ft, in Avery County; while the overall mountain is also in McDowell County. Two ridges, Mill Ridge and Dividing Ridge, form from the western side of the mountain.</p><br>
<p>Split by the Eastern Continental Divide, the mountain generates feeder streams to the North Fork Catawba River on its eastern slopes and to the North Toe River on its western slopes.</p><br>
<h2>Land conservancy</h2><br>
<p>On December 5, 2013, the Conservation Trust of North Carolina purchased 523 acre along the Blue Ridge Parkway for $2.5 million, most of which is on Humpback Mountain. The property will eventually be transferred over to the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission to own and manage.</p><br>
<p>The Lake Archange is located at the boundary of Sainte-Thècle and Grandes-Piles, in the Mekinac Regional County Municipality, in Mauricie, in Quebec, Canada.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first access road to the lake was designed in 1889 by the "Trois-Rivières Hunting Club". "Domaines du Lac Archange" (Sites of Archange Lake) area are arranged on the peninsula.</p><br>
<p>The Archange lake is well-known because of its fire guards tower that was built on top of the so-called "lake Archange mountain”, which has been in operation since the early 20th century. Historian Gaétan Veillette published in 1974 that several towermen have succeeded in the history of Sainte-Thècle, including Émile Bacon for 17 years, at “Lac Profond” (Deep Lake) and Lake Archange; Elzéar Plamondon, worked for a long time at Lake Veillette; Oscar Plamondon for 16 years; Georges Darveault, Alfred Darveault and Rosidé Brière. While Georges Vallée was supervisor of towermen. Considering its height, the lake Archange mountain offering an exceptional panorama to observe forest fires. Activities of forest fire observation by guards were coordinated with aerial reconnaissance airline pilots based in Lac-à-la-Tortue, which is the oldest civil seaplane base in Canada. Aerial observation of forest fires started in Mauricie in 1919.</p><br>
<p>Towermen and loggers used a system of private telephones with telephone wire that ran from 1931 to 1947. Every phone could be activated by a crank batteries powering two 6-inch round. Calls were made directly through a ring without going through an exchange. The system could provide 24 hours services between observation posts including the Hervey-Jonction, Rivière-à-Pierre, Lac-des-Iles and Archange Lake. Companies managed by Jeffrey Veillet were referring to this network to forecast forest fires and weather phenomena, including the period of log driving, cutting forest or timber transport. Marie-Ange Bacon (Sainte-Thècle) said that the fireguards repaired their own special phone, which served as a liaison.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Located in forest area, the Archange lake is shaped like a large "U" opened to Southeast, with a mountainous peninsula in the center. The distance by water from one end to the other of the "U" is 2.45 kilometers. The lake has a maximum width of 1.3 km in the northern part. The water level is 333 meters above the level of the sea. The maximum depth is 90 feet.</p><br>
<p>This sector of the Mid-Mauricie and Batiscanie, Quebec is surrounded by high mountains, especially eastward toward Lake Veillette, and southward before the lake Veilleux where Mountain of fire Watchtower reaches about 460 meters in altitude. Starting at Lake Fountain Road in Grandes-Piles, a sometimes bumpy road of 7.6 km moves eastward and achieves the Fire Tower guard at the top of the highest mountain in the region. This trip pass at the South of Fontaine Lake and the "Lac à la truite" (lake trout).</p><br>
<p>The mouth of Archange Lake flows eastward along the bottom of a strait. The route of the discharge is 4.5 km (measured by water) flowing fully in Sainte-Thècle, recovering landfill of Lake Veillette (0.54 km long and discharging to the South) and "Lac des hauteurs” (lake of the heights) (0.54 km long and discharging to the North).</p><br>
<p>The Archange lake is surrounded by several small lakes whose height “lac du Caribou” (Reindeer Lake), Marie Lake and Marguerite Lake. The mouth of the Archange lake is located 13 km north of the Catholic Church Saint-Tite through the “Chemin des Pointes” (Road of Tips) and 12.9 km from the Church of Sainte-Thècle through St. Joseph Road South. Between the mouth of Lake Archange and Saint-Joseph-South path Sainte-Thècle, mountain road has a length of 4.3 km.</p><br>
<p>In the part of Sainte-Thècle, the Archange Lake is located in the North Row C and Row VI Southwest of Lejeune Township. One of the forks of the access road to the lake can reach the tip of the large peninsula, the other fork pass on the South side of the lake. The northern and eastern parts are very mountainous.</p><br>
<h2>Toponymy</h2><br>
<p>On Christian origin, the place name "Lac Archange" (MRC Mekinac) was formalized on December 5, 1968 at the Bank of place names of the Commission de toponymie du Québec (Geographical Names Board of Québec).</p><br>
<p>Semsvannet and vicinity elected the place of the millennium in Norway. Semsvannet is a lake in Asker municipality in Akershus county, southwest of Oslo, in Norway. The lake is situated close to, for the Norwegians, famous places such as the ridge Skaugumsåsen, the old cultural house Tangen and Skaugum the official residence of the heir to the throne of Norway, i.e. the crown prince or princess of Norway. The status of Semsvannet as a nature reserve was upgraded when the area was protected as a conservation area October 2, 1992.</p><br>
<h2>Numbers</h2><br>
<p>Lake Semsvannet is 0.75 km&sup2; and is situated at a height of 145 m above sea level. The greatest depth is 34 meters. To the lake flows the river Gupelva. From the lake flows the river Askerelva. Regarding the inhabitants of the lake, fish, there are: Northern pike (Esox lucius), European perch (Perca fluviatilis) and Roach (Rutilus rutilus). There are also smaller populations of Brown trout (Salmo trutta), Arctic char (Salvelinus aplinus) and European whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus).</p><br>
<h2>Sports and Outdoor Pursuits</h2><br>
<p>For generations, Semsvannet has been utilized as a lake for swimming, especially among the, at the time, permanent residents at Tangen, et cetera. It is possible to perform cross-country running around the lake or – according to the Norwegian expression – "gå på tur". The distance is then 4.8 km. For outdoor and athletic people there are summer trails and winter ski trails, into the Vestmarka, that begins here.</p><br>
<h2>Landscape of Nature, Agriculture and Culture</h2><br>
<h3>Countryside of Nature and Agriculture</h3><br>
<p>Semsvannet and vicinity belongs to the Norwegian natural, agricultural and cultural history.</p><br>
<p>The estates Sem, Store Berg and Tveiter are to be found nearby the lake. However, situated even closer to the lake, by far – at the foot of the ridge Skaugumsåsen – is the cultural house Tangen, which during the first half of the twentieth century was the domicile of the Family Kaspersen; who among others frequently was visited by the Norwegian cultural personality and friend Alf Prøysen at social gatherings and feasts arranged by the family.</p><br>
<h3>Culture and Songs Dedicated to The Area</h3><br>
<p>To have the songwriter, troubadour and friend Alf Prøysen nearby, made a mutual impact, and inspired the just a few years younger son of Tangen, Karsten Kaspersen. Who in his turn wrote several songs dedicated to the area, and how it was to live and grow up close to the lake Semsvannet and at Tangen in the first half of the twentieth century (i.e. around the years 1900 to 1950). From Karsten Kaspersen’s musical production, the following songs dedicated to the area around Semsvannet can be noted:</p><br>
<p>“Skaugumsåsen” (eng. The Mountain Ridge of Skaugumsåsen)</p><br>
<p>“I ungdomsår” (In Our Youth)</p><br>
<p>“Skymning over Tangen” (Nightfall over Tangen)</p><br>
<h2>Place of The Millennium</h2><br>
<p>The old house of Tangen was culturally protected in 1992, and it and the Semsvannet area are much-loved destinations in nature for the Norwegians. In 1998, the Millennium Committee of Asker arranged the Millennium Election for its community residents, regarding the most favoured place in nature. Among the many nominations, Semsvannet and its surrounding area was chosen as the finest and most beautiful.</p><br>
<p>The School Street Barn is the last remaining 19th century barn in Agawam, Massachusetts&#39;s School Street Park. The 1880 barn is associated with a farmhouse  that was torn down in 2000. The barn is located in a public park, between Main Street and the parking area within the park boundaries. It is about 51 ft long and 41 ft wide, with a gable height of about 30 ft. It stands on a brick and stone foundation, and has concrete ramps to the large barn doors centered on the gable ends. It is sided with vertically mounted tongue-and-groove wooden boards. The interior of the barn is a typical three story New England post-and-beam construction.</p><br>
<p>From 1938 until the late 1980s the area was part of Hampden County&#39;s jail farm, which provided food for the prison population in the Springfield York Street jail. The property was turned over to the town, which converted it into the School Street Park. The barn was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.</p><br>
<p>St. George&#39;s Episcopal Church is a historic Episcopal church in Griffin, Spalding County, Georgia. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 7, 1994. It is located at 132 North Tenth Street.</p><br>
<p>Construction of the church was delayed by the American Civil War and the American Reconstruction period. A lot for the church was bought on the corner of Tenth Street and Broad Street in 1868. In November 1869 the churchs cornerstone was placed with the Bishop of Georgia officiating and services were held in April 1871. A rectory was built a few years later (now administration offices) and in 1921 the Grantland Memorial Parish Hall was built. In 1962 the Education Wing was added and the original rectory remodeled. In May 1975 a sacristy was added for the Altar Guild. The church merged with St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, which served the African Americans, and the altar, pews and baptismal font from St. Stephens were dedicated in 2003. A Children’s chapel was also added. St. George&#39;s sesquicentennial celebration was held in 2014.</p><br>
<p>The Lac des Chicots   is located in Sainte-Thècle, in the Mékinac Regional County Municipality, in Mauricie, in province of Quebec, Canada. Well positionned in the heart of the village, the north-east edge of the lake is in "lower village" of Sainte-Thècle behind the Catholic church, and extends in length to the southwest in the direction of Saint-Tite, on the boundary of Saint-Michel-South and Saint-Pierre-South rows.</p><br>
<p>The original nucleus of the town of Sainte-Thècle was built around the lake. The village began to grow on the strip of land between the "Lac des Chicots” and Croche Lake (Sainte-Thècle) (lac Croche in French). At the beginning of the colonization of Sainte-Thècle, the role of "Lac des Chicots” was especially important for transport, fishing, drinking water through nearby sources, agriculture...</p><br>
<h2>Toponymy</h2><br>
<p>The name "Lac des Chicots” (Stubs Lake) was adopted by the early settlers, because of the large number of stubs. Upon arrival of the pioneers, especially from 1869 (although the first hunting and fishing camp was built in 1867 by Pierre Ayotte’s family), several areas of the lake were littered with tree trunks submerged due to subsidence of the surrounding terrain at the foot of the long cliff separating rows Saint-Michel and Saint-Pierre in Sainte-Thècle.</p><br>
<p>In the 19th Century, settlers took advantage of the winter ice to cut these stubs. Under the effect of earthquakes and erosion, rang Saint-Michel sag, while Rang Saint-Pierre is located on top of the cliff. In an inspection report written in 1933, Mr. Grenier (then aged 80) who was interviewed said that while in 1880, the pioneers travelled in canoes between the submerged trees.</p><br>
<p>The Bank of place names of Commission de toponymie du Québec (Geographical Names Board of Québec) has 29 names using the term "Stubs". The name "Lac des Chicots" (Stubs Lake) in Sainte-Thècle was officially registered December 5, 1968 in the Bank of place names of the Commission de toponymie du Québec (Geographical Names Board of Québec)</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>"Lac des Chicots" in Sainte-Thècle has a cross shape elongated in the north-east to south-east. This lake has three sections and several bays. It measures two kilometers in length. Its maximum width is 0.8 km, at the height of 320 meters strait leading to its mouth on the north side. Lake stub is watered by several streams, including:</p><br>
<p>at the southwest end of the lake, including the discharge of small "lake Auguste-Leblanc" (rounded form of about 160 m. in diameter and located near the southwest end of Lac des Chicots), the discharge of 1.5 km from "Lac à la peinture" (Painting lake) (which has a length of 160 m. and is just three widths lots of the limits of Saint-Tite) and "Lac Rose" (Rose Lake) (located just south of the "Lac à la peinture" (Painting Lake)</p><br>
<p>Vandal stream that empties into "Lac des Chicots" southwest of the village (in Saint-Pierre-South row). The name derives from the fact that the head of the stream is located on the old lots owned by Alfred Vandal in Rang Saint-Georges. The Arthur-Groleau branch which begins on former lots of Arthur Groleau (in Saint-Pierre-row North) flows south across the streets Notre-Dame and Bédard. Stream Arthur-Groleau joined the Vandal stream about 110 m. south of the Bédard street bridge and 330 meters from the mouth of Vandal stream.</p><br>
<p>Chain of Lakes</p><br>
<p>"Lac des Chicots" is part of a series of onlines in the North-East axis to the South West on 13.4 kilometers between the mouth of the "Lac en Coeur" (Heart Lake), at the north of Hervey-Jonction, Quebec village and the city of Saint-Tite: Lac en Coeur (Heart Lake), "Lac des tounes", Lac Croche, lac des Chicots, Bourdais lake, "Lac à la peinture" (Painting lake), "Lac Rose" (Rose Lake), Trottier lake, "Lac à la Perchaude" (Perch Lake) and former Kapibouska Lake (formed by a bulge in the Rivière des Envies) in the city of Saint-Tite. Between the south-western end of “Lac des Chicots”, and the limit of Saint-Tite, we count 13 lots on 2.2 km.</p><br>
<p>Because of a geological fracture of terreste bark, the "Lac des Chicots" (Lake stubs) and Croche Lake are located at the foot of a long cliff more or less regular (located the east side of this chain of lakes). This chain of lakes is bordered on the East side by Rang Saint-Pierre, which was colonized soon after rows Saint-Michel and Saint-Joseph. The ancient mound site of the present church was the dominant item of this cliff.</p><br>
<p>Outlets</p><br>
<p>The stream discharge of "Lac des Chicots" flows westward for 1.9 kilometers (measured by taking into account water coils) to empty into the Rivière des Envies, at the middle of Saint-Joseph&#39;s row. While the stream discharge of Croche Lake (the mouth is located in the extreme southwest of the lake) runs on one km (0.45 km to the west where it crosses a stream irrigating row Saint-Michel-North and 0.55 km to the south) to reach the stream discharge of "Lac des Chicots" at the point where Clément Saint-Amand had operated a sawmill at Saint-Michel-South row.</p><br>
<p>In 1976, the "Lac des Chicots" level was lowered to reconstruct the concrete dam at the lake outlet. Municipalities of the village and the parish of Sainte-Thècle joined their efforts in a campaign for the removal of stubs and cleaning submerged debris from old and small family dumps.</p><br>
<p>Municipal Boat Launch</p><br>
<p>A municipal boat ramp launch is located south-west of the village (Saint-Jacques street) on the edge of the strait (330 meters long) at the bottom of which flows the stream from the village station. This stream flows mainly on the old plot of land owned by Philippe Gervais, which was subsequently acquired by Rosaire Bedard, a dairy man. "Lac des Chicots" is renowned for sport fishing.</p><br>
<p>General characteristics</p><br>
<p>This lake covers an area of 164 acres. Its maximum depth is 22.6 m. The physio- chemical characteristics of water: pH of 7.3 to 8.8. Dissolved oxygen: 10 ppm (parts per million). Transparency: on metter (3 feet)</p><br>
<p>Initially, the area around “Lac des Chicots” has been exploited for forestry and agriculture. Today, the lake is fully in agricultural areas, except the section of the village (north-east of the lake is bordered by the lower village and the area of Rue Saint-Jacques (between the church and the intersection of Bédard street)).</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Colonization of the territory of Sainte-Thècle, located in the Lordship of Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pérade began by clearing lots of row Saint-Michel bordering the northwest side of the "Lac des Chicots” (Stubs Lake) and "Croche Lake". At the beginning of the local colonization (up to 1876), a first rudimentary forest road linked the “Rang des Pointes” (Row of spikes) in Saint-Tite to forest land around “Lac des Chicots” in Sainte-Thècle, which opened colonization.</p><br>
<p>Driving between Saint-Tite and Sainte-Thècle</p><br>
<p>Before the construction of roads and bridges spanning the calvettes, ice roads on "Lac des Chicots" and Croche Lake allowed the settler families to travel in winter to Saint-Tite, main economical center of the region, or to logging camps until Missionary Lake. In summer, the settlers used barges or small boats on "Lac des Chicots".</p><br>
<p>The total driving distance between Sainte-Thècle and Saint-Tite (via the "rang des Pointes" (Row of spikes)) is 12.1 km. The distance between the church of Sainte-Thècle and the southwest end of "Lac des Chicots" is 2.7 km from the Saint-Pierre-South path; then additional 2.2 km to reach the limit of Saint-Tite, through the Saint-Pierre-South Road; 1.5 km on the way among "Chemin des Pointes", 2.3 km on the way to reach the road of "Le Bourdais", 2.8 km to reach Notre-Dame Street; and 0.6 km to reach the church of Saint-Tite. However, winter roads and footpaths in summer or on horseback gave the possibility to take a shortcut, from the southwest end of the "Lac des Chicots" or another shortcut near the "lac le Bourdais" by cutting through forest lots, bypassing the mountains of the area, to reach the road Le Bourdais.</p><br>
<p>With the construction of the road in 1882, the Rang Saint-Georges, residents of the town of Sainte-Thècle, could borrow this alternative route (the same as the first, from the church) to reach Saint-Tite. While the arrival of the railroad in 1887 allowed residents to travel by rail or to walk on the track to join the other parishes.</p><br>
<p>The Prospect Hill School is a historic school building at 33 Montgomery Street in Westfield, Massachusetts. The Colonial Revival school was built in 1897 to a design by Augustus W. Holton. The school was built on the site of an earlier wood frame school which was no longer adequate to support the school district&#39;s growing student population. It is made of red brick with white sandstone detailing. The hip roof was originally slate, but is now asphalt shingles. The school when it opened had eight schoolrooms and served 300 students. It represented the beginning of a change in the Westfield schools from wood frame schoolhouses to modern buildings.</p><br>
<p>With the town&#39;s student population growing, the school was expanded in 1919. The expansion retained the Colonial Revival style of the building, even though it gave it a completely new facade. Designed by Malcolm B. Harding, the addition included two more schoolrooms and an auditorium. The school continued to serve the town until 1991, when, after a wave of construction of new schools, the Prospect Hill School was declared obsolete and closed.</p><br>
<p>The property then lay vacant and unused for fifteen years, despite numerous proposals for its use. The town finally accepted a proposal in 2005 to convert the school into an affordable housing complex. The school was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<p>Chenocetah Fire Tower is a historic fire tower in the Chenocetah Mountains, Cornelia, Georgia, Habersham County, Georgia. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 11, 1984. The tower was built in 1937 as part of a public works program by the Farm Security Administration&#39;s Resettlement Administration in effort to move and employ impoverished farmers. The purpose of the building was to allow fire fighters to spot fires in the Chattahoochee National Forest.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The stone tower measures 40 feet tall and was first dedicated on June 7, 1938. Governor Rivers delivered the dedicatory address and Cornelia Mayor Crawford gave the address of welcome. Charles S. Vance, the project manager who took over from Mr. Woodroof and William A. Hartmen, regional director, were also in attendance. Governor Rivers was taken on a tour of the projects afterwards. The tower was dedicated again after World War II in memory of three forest workers who died during the war. The tower was used in active service as a fire tower until 1975. After 1975, it was unused until 1989 when the Georgia Forestry Commission took over staffing during the fire season. Locals have formed the Chenocetah Conservation Corps to provide grounds maintenance around the structure and surrounding landscape.</p><br>
<p>Mauldin House is a historic home in Clarkesville, Georgia. The home&#39;s first owner and namesake was A.M. Mauldin and his wife. Mauldin was a hatmaker with a shop in downtown Clarkesville. It was moved to make way for a road widening project and now serves as a Welcome Center. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 18, 1982. The house was originally located at 102 East Water Street, but is now located at 458 Jefferson Street.</p><br>
<p>At one time, the property included multiple barns, pasture, and a vegetable garden in addition to the current house, Big Holly Cabin and the millinery shop. The Mauldin house has previously been known as the Little Pink Cottage.</p><br>
<p>Built of hand hewn pine for Haywood English in 1820, the cabin is part of a historical park beside Clarkesville&#39;s town square.</p><br>
<p>The Westfield Center Historic District is a historic district encompassing 157 acre of the civic, commercial, and industrial heart of Westfield, Massachusetts. It represents a major expansion of the Westfield Center Commercial Historic District, which included only two blocks of buildings along Elm Street in downtown Westfield. The district includes buildings representing the city&#39;s growth in the 19th century as a center of the whip-making industry, and its early years as a center for statewide educational institutions, as well as its growth as a regional center of western Hampden County.</p><br>
<p>The commercial district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2008; the expansion and renaming of the district took place in 2013. Buildings in the district that were previously listed on the National Register include the Sanford Whip Factory, the Westfield Whip Manufacturing Company, the United States Whip Company Complex, and the Westfield Municipal Building (formerly a building of the state&#39;s normal school, now city hall).</p><br>
<p>The Sanford Whip Company is a historic factory located at 330 Elm Street in Westfield, Massachusetts. It was owned and operated by one of the whip-making business that led Westfield to become widely known as "Whip City". It is a 3.5 story brick building located near the north end of Westfield main business district, across from Kane Park. It has a slate roof with the gable facing the street, and it has modest Italianate decorations. It is 130 ft long, with 17 window bays, and is four window bays wide. It was built in 1883, and was the site of whip-making operations for many years. The Sanford Company was consolidated into the United States Whip Company in 1892, who used the building primarily for storage. The building was eventually repurchased by a reconstituted Sanford Company in 1924 for the production of whips and novelty toys. That business operated until 2000, when the company folded.</p><br>
<p>The factory was listed individually on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008, and as part of an expanded Westfield Center Historic District in 2013. It has been converted into affordable housing space.</p><br>
<p>Mugser Run is a 8.0 mi stream in Columbia County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is a tributary of South Branch Roaring Creek. Mugser Run is located in Locust and Cleveland Townships. Forested land and agricultural land are by far the most common uses of land in the watershed. Brown trout and rainbow trout are found in the creek. The main rock formations are the Trimmers Rock Formation and the Catskill Formation–Buddys Run formation.</p><br>
<h2>Course</h2><br>
<p>Mugser Run starts in near Pennsylvania Route 42 in Locust Township, between Numidia and Little Mountain. The creek flows west into Cleveland Township after a short distance.

<p>The Doctor&#39;s Building is a six-story commercial building in Nashville, Tennessee that was constructed in 1916  and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The building site was the former location of the home of railroad magnate Colonel E.W. Cole, with his home being the last 19th-century mansion on Church Street. A new building, known as "The Doctor&#39;s Building" was then constructed as a three-story building, with medical offices on the upper floors, and retail shops on the ground floor. A few years later (in either 1916 or 1921), it had three more stories added, increasing its size to 100,000 ft&sup2;. The design, by architect Edward E. Dougherty of the architectural firm "Dougherty and Gardner" was of the elaborate Beaux-Arts or Renaissance Revival style. The exterior is sheathed with glazed polychrome terra cotta.</p><br>
<p>In the 1940s and 1950s, the building consisted of office space for many of the city&#39;s doctors and dentists.</p><br>
<p>Inverforth House  is a large detached house at North End Way on the outskirts of Hampstead in the London Borough of Camden, NW3. Owned by William Lever, 1st Viscount Leverhulme from 1904 to 1925, The Hill was bought by Andrew Weir, 1st Baron Inverforth after Leverhulmes death in 1925, and following was given to Manor House Hospital after Inverforths death in 1956.</p><br>
<p>Rebuilt in the Queen Anne style in 1895 by the architectural firm Grayson and Ould, it is a Grade II listed building. Built from red brick, Inverforth House has a steeply pitched roof. The architectural style of Inverforth House has been described as "Neo-Georgian" with "Queen Anne style wings".</p><br>
<p>In 2002 English Heritage commemorated Viscount Leverhulme and geneticist and statistician Ronald Fisher, who lived there as a child from 1896 to 1904, with blue plaques.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Inverforth House is situated on North End Way, between Hampstead and Golders Green. The house and gardens adjoin the West Heath, with Golders Hill Park to the north. Sandy Heath and Hampstead Heath are to the south. Inverforth House is close to Heath House, which at 440ft above sea level, was the highest point in the County of London.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>From 1896–1904, the house was lived in by the auctioneer and fine arts dealer George Fisher, a partner in Robinson & Fisher and his family of five children, including a young Ronald, the future geneticist and statistician Sir Ronald Fisher. Following his wife&#39;s death in 1904, George Fisher lost his fortune within 18 months, and the family moved south of the river to Streatham.</p><br>
<p>The original house on the site was built in 1807, and was rebuilt by the Liverpool architectural firm Grayson and Ould, who greatly altered the house from 1905, their significant alterations included the rebuilding of the central block and the addition of northern and southern wings to the garden front. Grayson and Ould also designed a terrace facing the garden, and a verandah was added to the terrace in 1910 by Thomas Hayton Mawson. A ballroom was added beneath the terrace in 1923 by Leslie Mansfield.</p><br>
<p>The south wing of the house was extended and remodelled between 1924–25 by Mawson, with a library wing added to the front of the house from 1913–14. The library was built by William and Segar Owen of Warrington, who had designed buildings in Leverhulme&#39;s Port Sunlight development.</p><br>
<p>The interiors of Inverforth House are richly decorated in styles including Jacobean to William and Mary, and a style reminiscent of William Adam. The entrance hall features a carved marble staircase. Inverforth&#39;s House interior style has been described by English Heritage as "A rich architectural amalgam reflecting the tastes of a notable patron".</p><br>
<h3>Gardens</h3><br>
<p>The notable gardens, also designed by Mawson were laid out from 1906. A northern garden was laid out in the 1920s by Leslie Mansfield. The greater part of the gardens are now owned by the City of London Corporation, and open to the public as The Hill Garden.</p><br>
<p>The USA Post Office, also known as the Berkeley Main Post Office, has been described as a "free adaptation of Brunelleschi&#39;s Foundling Hospital." Designed in the Second Renaissance Revival style, the front of the building features terra cotta arches supported by plain tuscan columns. The building, located, 2000 Allston Way Berkeley, California, was built in 1914-15.</p><br>
<p>The Post Office is within the Civic Center Historic District, a five block area listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The district is a locally significant ensemble of harmoniously planned civic buildings that retains a high degree of integrity since achieving significance in 1950. The post office, along with the "Old" City Hall (1909) in the Beaux-Arts style, is among the earliest and the most decorative of the thirteen buildings in the district.</p><br>
<p>The architect is unknown but Oscar Wenderoth is listed on the cornerstone as he was director of the Office of the Supervising Architect that designed this and many other federal government buildings. The floor space doubled with the completion of the annex in 1932. A few years later, the Treasury Relief Art Project commissioned a sculpture and a mural for the lobby. Both are well-preserved examples of the styles, subjects and dominant themes of New Deal Art. The post office was designated Berkeley Landmark No. 38 on June 16, 1980 by the Landmarks Preservation Commission and added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 29, 1981.</p><br>
<h2>Current status</h2><br>
<p>In 2013, the post office was listed for sale with a possible leaseback of the lobby to continue providing postal service. Opponents staged a 33-day encampment on its steps while the City Council unanimously voted to oppose the sale and unsuccessfully sought a one-year delay.</p><br>
<p>In November, 2014, Postal Officials announced a tentative sales agreement to a local developer. First They Came for the Homeless immediately established a 2nd occupation on the exterior grounds, the City of Berkeley filed a lawsuit against the sale, the seller withdrew, and in April 2015 Federal District Judge Alsup dismissed the case on the basis of the Postal Service&#39;s declaration that no sale was pending. The 2nd occupation lasted until April, 12th, 2016 at which time Postal Police cleared the protest.</p><br>
<p>Financial problems have prompted a national sale of underused and often aging real estate owned by the USPS. Dozens of properties had been recently sold despite similar protests from local communities. The postal service issued a statement that “sales of historic postal properties have been very modest: 7 in 2012 and 6 in 2013.” They have identified 1,900 properties that are listed or could be considered for listing on the National Register of Historic Places out of 9,000 properties owned by USPS. In 2014, the USPS Office of Inspector General sought an independent review certain appraisals to ensure that they “were representative of the fair market value.”</p><br>
<p>Montgomery County Courthouse is a historic courthouse in Courthouse Square in Mount Vernon, Georgia, the county seat of Montgomery County, Georgia. It was built in 1907 and renovated in 1991–92. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 18, 1980.</p><br>

<p>Behavior Cemetery is a historic cemetery on Sapelo Island outside Hog Hammock, Georgia. The African-American cemetery is believed to date to before the American Civil War although the earliest marker is dated to the late 19th century. The cemetery is located in the center of Sapelo Island, towards the south end, 1‑1/4 miles west of Hog Hammock. It was originally associated with a former community named "Behavior" and slaves of the Thomas Spalding Plantation. An example of African-American burial grounds, the cemeterys grave markers include short posts at either end of the graves with epitaphs on wooden boards nailed to the surrounding trees and personal items included with the deceased. More recent tombstones are cement, granite or metal. It may have been a slave burial ground and is located near the former slave quarters of Thomas Spaldings plantation and the Sugar Mill Complex west of the cemetery. In 1996, it was still in use and was the only cemetery associated with the African American community on Sapelo Island.</p><br>
<p>The age of the cemetery is unknown, but there was damage recorded from the October 2, 1898 hurricane</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 22, 1996.</p><br>

<p>Cheslatta Lake is a large freshwater lake located between François Lake and the western end of the Nechako Reservoir, Range 4 Coast Land District. It is in the Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako, British Columbia.</p><br>
<h2>Etymology</h2><br>
<p>The name derives from the Dakelh (pronounced )/Carrier people word meaning either top of small mountain or small rock mountain on east side. Cheslatta Lake appeared on Trutchs 1871 map of British Columbia as "Chestatta" Lake. In 1884, the spelling was changed to Cheslahta on Mohuns map of British Columbia. In 1891 the name was spelled as "Cheslata" Lake on Poudriers map of Northern British Columbia. On 30 March 1917 the name "Cheslatta Lake" was adopted in the 15th Report of the Geographic Board of Canada based on the label on Jorgensens 1895 map of BC, and as labelled on pre-emptor map 1G, 1916.</p><br>
<h2>Trophic levels</h2><br>
<p>The ecosystems of both Cheslatta Lake and the smaller Murray Lake it joins, prior to the flooding by Kenney Dam construction, "were quite productive at all trophic levels including fish, as it is reported the fisheries of these lakes were utilized for centuries by first nation’s people as traditional fishing grounds."</p><br>
<h2>Impact of Kenney Dam</h2><br>
<p>The Construction of the Kenny Dam in the 1950s on the Nechako River, reversed water flow and sent water westward to generate electricity for use and sale by the Alcan corporation, devastated the area around Cheslatta Lake, flooding the Cheslatta Carrier Nation village and cemetery and forcing the First Nations to be relocated with little time for preparation and no consultation. Prior to the flooding, Cheslatta Lake was at the centre of the CCN traditional hunting and trapping territory. Before 1957 the Cheslatta River was a small stream with an average annual flow of about 5 m3/s. Alcan began releasing water flows far above the Cheslatta&#39;s natural capacity, resulting in a deep channel being carved out and large-scale erosion filling the Cheslatta and upper Nechako Rivers with sediment. In addition, the area between the Skins Lake spillway and the headwaters of the Cheslatta River was not a river but rather a series of meadows, pastures, and small lakes. Water released from the reservoir scoured the area between Skins Lake and Cheslatta Lake. Soil, gravel, grass, moss, shrubs, and trees were washed away, down into the Cheslatta River and into the Nechako River.</p><br>
<p>There has been a 7-fold decline in the productive capacity of Cheslatta Lake to support pelagic fishes, namely kokanee salmon.</p><br>
<p>The Calhoun Apartments are a large multiunit residential building at the corner of Dwight and Jefferson Streets in the North End of Springfield, Massachusetts. The four story apartment house was built in 1914 for Home Realty Trust and designed by local architect James D. Long in the Classical Revival style. The exterior is built from yellow brick with brownstone trim, and features alternating flat and rounded sections on both of its street-facing elevations. The building was completed not long before a new fire code was introduced in Springfield, which in part resulted in more buildings of its type being built. The building went through a rapid succession of owners until the early 1960s, after which it changed hands infrequently.</p><br>
<p>The Calhouns resident population underwent changes that echoed Springfields changing demographics. Its early tenants were almost all working class: teachers, retail store clerks, and factory workers, from a variety of ethnic backgrounds. However, a few small business owners also lived there. By the 1980s Springfield&#39;s North End had the highest proportion of substandard housing, and The Calhoun was included in major urban redevelopment plans, along with the nearby Verona Apartments. The Springfield Redevelopment Authority bought an ownership stake in the building, and began rehabilitation work in 1983. The interior renovations done pursuant to the redevelopment plan destroyed all historic value inside the building, gutting it and replacing the interior with modern construction. Woodwork around its exterior entrances was also lost.</p><br>
<p>The Calhoun and Verona were then transferred to Dwight Manor Associates, whose principals included individuals who had overseen the rehabilitation. Property taxes fell into arrears in 1997, and the city took the two properties by tax foreclosure in 2004. In 2006 the city transferred them to the Jefferson Park Limited Partnership for use as low and moderate income housing.</p><br>
<p>The Verona Apartments are a large multiunit residential building at the corner of Dwight and Allendale Streets in the North End of Springfield, Massachusetts. The four story apartment house was built in 1906 by a consortium of construction and real estate interests in the Classical Revival style. The exterior is built from white brick, and features alternating flat and rounded sections on both of its street-facing elevations. The building went through a succession of owners, with a number of them losing the building due to foreclosure by mortgage holders.</p><br>
<p>The Veronas resident population underwent changes that echoed Springfields changing demographics.

By the 1980s Springfield&#39;s North End had the highest proportion of substandard housing, and The Verona was included in major urban redevelopment plans, along with the nearby Calhoun Apartments. The Verona was sold in 1983 to Housing Rehab, Inc., which began rehabilitation work in 1983. The interior renovations done pursuant to the redevelopment plan destroyed all historic value inside the building, gutting it and replacing the interior with modern construction. Woodwork around its exterior entrances was also lost.</p><br>

<p>The Merrick Art Gallery is an early private art museum in western Pennsylvania, founded by industrialist Edward Dempster Merrick in 1880 in the old New Brighton, Pennsylvania railroad station. The gallery, or museum, was expanded to two connected buildings holding 240 works of art, and remains open, free-of-charge, to the public. The gallery was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Museum</h2><br>
<p>Edward Dempster Merrick (1832–1911) moved from New York state to New Brighton as a child. He worked as a telegraph operator and in his father&#39;s bucket-making business, then joined his brothers in 1867 in a foundry business which they sold in 1885. At this time he made a shrewd investment in a horseshoe nail manufacturing company, which supported Merrick and his museum for the rest of his life.</p><br>
<p>In 1880, he bought the c. 1850 one-story railroad station, and by 1885 had converted it into a two-story gallery. The second building was added around 1901. His collection of 18th- and 19th-century French, German, English, and American paintings fills the gallery and includes romantic, realistic, and impressionistic art by the artists Pierre-Paul Prud&#39;hon, Gustav Courbet, Hermann Winterhalter, Thomas Sully, and Charles Courtney Curran. The Hudson River School collection includes paintings by Asher Brown Durand, Thomas Moran, John Frederick Kensett, John William Casilear, and William Trost Richards.</p><br>
<p>The paintings are closely hung in the 19th century tradition. The inclusion of geologic and zoologic exhibits also reflect 19th century practices. Another exhibit is a piano once played by Stephen Foster. Other collections include modern and contemporary art, a 19th-century library and items from the New Brighton Historical Society.</p><br>
<p>By 1901 Merrick bought 200 paintings, ranging in price from $10 to $485, at a total cost of about $20,000. Merrick himself made 220 paintings which disappeared after his death.</p><br>

<p>Petersburg City Hall is a historic city hall building located at Petersburg, Virginia. It was designed by architect Ammi B. Young and built between 1856 and 1859, as the USA Customs House and Post Office.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Petersburg Custom House & Post Office is located on the southeast corner of Tabb and Union streets on a plot of ground purchased April 18, 1856, for the sum of $15,000. It is a three-story, three bay by eight bay, Italian Renaissance Revival style brick building faced in granite.

<p>The building was designed by Ammi B. Young, first Supervising Architect of the United States Treasury, in the Italian Renaissance style. Construction was commenced in 1856 and completed in 1859, the cost of construction being $84,664.88. It was first occupied, however, in September, 1858, while still in an unfinished condition.</p><br>
<p>The exterior walls are constructed of Petersburgh granite. The original design of the building was for two stories only, after the original construction work was commenced, a third story was added for the accommodation of the Custom House department, and was used as sleeping apartments for the Customs officers. This building did not have a federal courtroom, all judicial matters would be conducted at the Richmond federal courthouse, just 20 miles north of the city.</p><br>
<p>The roof was made entirely of iron beams, covered with corrugated galvanized sheeting. The three southern bays of the building were added between 1908 and 1910.</p><br>
<p>The layout of the interior rooms plan has changed several times, nowadays revealing little evidence of the original arrangement. The first floor is primarily a large open public area containing municipal service areas. The second and third floors are divided into city offices. The interior columns and staircases are original.</p><br>
<h2>Uses</h2><br>
<p>The first floor of the building was allotted solely to the uses of the Post Office, whilst the second floor was for the exclusive business of the Custom House officers.</p><br>
<p>During the American Civil War the building served as the headquarters of the Confederate Army.</p><br>
<p>The Post Office moved to a new location in 1936 and the building was renovated as part of a Works Progress Administration project, becoming the Petersburg&#39;s City Hall in 1938. It still retains that use as at 2017.</p><br>

<p>The Carnegie Library of Albany is a Carnegie library in Albany, Missouri, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was designed by Edmond J. Eckel and opened in 1906.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The city of Albany had a subscription library which operated from 1885 to about 1890. Because of renewed interested in having a public library, a grant was requested from Andrew Carnegie. A pledge of $10,000 was made on June 2, 1903, and a lot was purchased in July 1904. The building was designed by Edmond J. Eckel. After requesting bids in November 1905, Louis Walin was selected. The final bid was $9,071, which required further grant money from Carnegie, bringing the total donation to $12,500. The library opened to the public on March 1, 1906.</p><br>
<p>The library basement housed city hall from 1939 until the mid-1960s, and then the University of Missouri Extension Office. The building continues to serve as a library in Albany.</p><br>
<p>The library was nominated for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion A for its significance in social history as a Carnegie Library and Criterion C for its architecture. The library was listed on the National Register on February 23, 1990, as the "Albany Carnegie Public Library".</p><br>
<p>Isaqueena, also known as the Gassaway Mansion, is a historic house in Greenville, South Carolina, and the largest private residence in the Upstate. In 1982 it was listed in the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The 40-room house was built between 1919 and 1924 by Walter L. Gassaway, a banker and textile mill owner; his wife, Minnie Quinn Gassaway, designed the structure after taking a correspondence course in architecture. Mrs. Gassaway used the mansion itself for entertaining, including card parties and "entertainments in the music room and ballroom", but she also supervised the 110-acre estate that included a working farm and dairy.</p><br>
<p>As the National Register nomination notes, the three-story house is "an unusual example of eclecticism", blending neo-Gothic and neoclassical elements that include six Doric columns, a Palladian window, a castellated tower, two rooftop patios, and a massive porte-cochère. Stone for the random bond masonry was in part taken from a mid-nineteenth-century grist mill on the Reedy River owned by Greenville founder Vardry McBee.</p><br>
<p>Walter Gassaway died of a heart attack on June 4, 1930. The following year his widow abandoned Isaqueena for a smaller home (which she also designed) closer to downtown Greenville. Most of the estate was sold for house lots, and the mansion was converted into rental apartments. In 1959, the building was purchased by the fledgling Greenville Art Museum, which occupied it and built an art school building on the property. After the art museum moved to a purpose-built gallery on Greenville&#39;s Heritage Green in 1974, the mansion sat vacant until purchased in 1977 for use as a church and school. The building once again became a private residence in the 1990s and is also used as a wedding venue.</p><br>

<p>The J.J. Deal and Son Carriage Factory was the largest factory built in Jonesville, Michigan. It is the only 19th century factory remaining in the City. It is located at 117 West Street. On August 1, 2012, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Jacob J. Deal was a blacksmith who moved to Jonesville, Michigan in 1857. Once he relocated to Jonesville, Michigan Mr. Deal began to manufacture a small number of lumber and heavy wagons. Mr. Deal then sold his blacksmith shop in 1865 and erected two small buildings across the street which later would become his factory and began manufacturing wagons and carriages. As the business grew he enlarged the plant from time to time and in 1890 he erected the factory which stands today and employed over 100 men at the time. The current factory structure was built in portions from 1893 to 1909. In 1891, Jacob Deal&#39;s son George became a partner and the company was renamed J.J. Deal and Son. George was made manager at this time and was a busy and curious businessman.</p><br>
<p>In 1908, the company later began assembling automobiles. They were called Autobuggies at the time and then the company was reorganized under the name of the Deal Buggy Company. In 1910, the number of workers had increased to 140 at the height of production. Several models of the Deal Automobile were manufactured from 1908 until 1911 and their cost ranged from about $950 to $1,250. The company went out of business in 1915.</p><br>
<p>In 1922, the Universal Body Company took over the entire complex where they manufactured motor bus bodies. In 1927, the Kiddie Brush & Toy Company took over the factory. Kiddie Brush & Toy made children&#39;s housekeeping toys that were sold under the Susy Goose name. In 1949, they started making plastic injection molded toys and then in the 1960s made Barbie and Ken furniture and accessories for Mattel. In 1967, the company moved its headquarters to Edon, Ohio. In 1972, the J.R. Headers Company moved into the space but only for a short time until 1976 when they moved out.</p><br>
<p>Over the next 40 years, the building stood underutilized or vacant until 2014, when the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) approved a tax credit application by Excel-Sterling LDHA LP to provide Section 42 tax credits for the re-development of the building.</p><br>
<p>Construction thereafter started in 2015 with the building being name the Heritage Lane Apartments to ultimately provide residential living for 44 families. Construction on the building was completed in July 2016 and was developed by Beachwood, Ohio development company Excel Realty Group led by Peter Jobson. The re-developed building stands in the middle of the City of Jonesvilles downtown and constitutes the foremost reminder of the citys origin and history.</p><br>
<p>Construction financing was provided by JP Morgan Chase. Permanent financing by Bonneville Mortgage Company, Inc. Tax credit equity financing was provided by Redstone Equities LLC.</p><br>
<p>The buildings redevelopment into 44 one and two bedroom apartments using Section 42 housing tax credits and the Federal Historic Rehabilitation Credit will provide residents with an elevator serving all 4 floors, a computer room, management and maintenance offices, a resident library and historic interior décor. An original JJ Deal Buggy built in the 1890s stands in the buildings lobby.</p><br>
<p>All re-development work has been done in accordance with the National Park Service guidelines for historic rehabilitation. The building will retain its historic character which includes the beams and connection plates of the internal structure, its "mill style" external brick walls and structure, its large loft style spaces and 9 x 4 windows. A Michigan historic marker stands at the edge of the Heritage Lane property and identifies the building and its historical context.</p><br>

<p>The Hooker Apartments are a large multiunit apartment building at the corner of Main and Greenwich Streets in the North End of Springfield, Massachusetts. Built in 1908, the building is one of a modest number of early 20th century apartment blocks to survive urban renewal efforts in the city&#39;s North End. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Hooker Apartments are located at the southwest corner of Main and Greenwich Streets in the Memorial Square neighborhood north of Springfields downtown. It is a four story brick and brownstone building. Housing 23 residential units, it is one of the larger apartment blocks in the area. The buildings street facades feature golden brick with brownstone trim, and two bowed sections on each side. The building is in a L shape, with a driveway and parking in the rear of the rectangular lot. There are three main entrances, two on Main Street and one on Greenwich. Each entrance is framed by brownstone pilasters with a triangular pediment above. At the corner on the ground flooer is a small commercial space with its own entrance. Each floor has six living units, except the first, which has five (the storefront occupying the sixth space).</p><br>
<p>The apartment house was built in 1908 for developers William Dexter and Joseph Angers to a design by Arsidas "Albert" Ostiguy, and was named for Springfield civic leader Josiah Hooker (1796-1870). The North End was at that time an area of rapid growth, with a number of relatively large apartment developments taking place in the first two decades of the 20th century. By the late 1950s, much of the housing in the area was in decline, and many buildings were demolished as part of an urban renewal program in the 1960s and 1970s. The building was extensively rehabilitated in 2010, recovering years of neglect, vandalism, and some damage from a 2004 fire that affected a number of units on the building&#39;s south end.</p><br>

Soon these pests will be exterminated." The count rode back to his castle, which was invaded by a swarm of rats and mice that even stole the food from his plate. He fled to the island, but they followed him there and ate him alive. They then disappeared.</p><br>
<h2>Castle</h2><br>
<p>The Wörthschlössl was originally a fortified manor house, built in 1446. Later it became the summer residence of the Count of Toerring.</p><br>

<p>In 1862 the renowned architect Sir Herbert Baker was born here. Owletts became Herbert Bakers home in later life and he made numerous alterations including the addition of a porch and a wing on the north-west corner of the house. He also removed the wall between the entrance hall and the drawing room and in that room installed an ornamental Empire&#39; clock. The family filled the house with specially commissioned or collected furniture.</p><br>
<p>The house has a garden partly designed by Gertrude Jekyll, who was introduced to Baker by Edwin Lutyens (her friend) when he was working with Baker in Ernest George and Harold Peto&#39;s architectural office in London.</p><br>
