<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Dr. Charles H. MacLachlan was born in 1845 in Perth County, Ontario, the son of Alexander and Clamina MacLachlan. He later moved to Pennsylvania, and there married Sarah E. Peters in 1871. Maclachlan was an early proponent of "physiological therapeutics," a treatment of chronic diseases without the use of medication. He studied at Juttners Physiological Institute in Cincinnati, then moved to Seville Township in 1883. There, he constructed a sanitarium as a facility to treat chronic diseases such as tuberculosis, rheumatism, and nerve and skin disease. The facility also served as a local hospital. MacLachlan slowly built the establishment into a thriving medical pratcice, and in 1908 added a main section to the facility.</p><br>
<p>The structure was used as a sanitarium until MacLachlan&#39;s death in 1920. Afterward, it was used as a boardinghouse, bar, restaurant, dancehall, and private residence.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Charles H. MacLachlan Sanitarium consists of two attached sections: a small single-story wood-framed structure built in 1883 and a larger two-story fieldstone structure built in 1908. The 1883 section is clad with clapboards and sits on a stone pad; it has a gable roof and double hung sashwindows. The 1908 section is constructed of uncoursed fieldstone, sitting on a stone pad and topped with a hip roof. A deep veranda spans the front of the building and wraps around one corner.

<h2>Ammi Williard Wright</h2><br>
<p>Ammi Willard Wright was born in 1822 in Grafton, Vermont. He left home in 1843 to learn business in Boston, then spent several years in the draying business and managing a hotel in Bartonsville, Vermont. In 1848, he married Harriet Barton, the daughter of his employer. The next year the couple moved to Boston, and in 1850 to Detroit. His original business plans were dashed when his business partner died unexpectedly, and Wright then relocated to the Saginaw Valley and got into the lumber business. He was actively engaged in lumbering in the 1850s, then purchased a mill in 1859, and in 1871 formed the First National Bank in Saginaw and the Saginaw Barrel Company. He diversified into other business interestes, including banks, manufacturing, railroads, and timber, mining, and ranching properties.</p><br>
<p>In 1875, Wright and his partner James Dawson opened a general store in Alma, the first of his properties in the city. It was destroyed by fire the next year, but they relocated temporarily, and purchased a lot on which to construct a new building. Construction was delayed, and soon Wright & Dawson&#39;s partnership was dissolved. However, Wright took on new partners, and in 1879 work began on what was then the second brick building in Alma, the Wright Opera House.</p><br>
<p>In 1879, Harriet Wright began to sicken, and the Wrights moved to Saratoga Springs, New York. Ammi Wright commuted for long periods between Saratoga Springs and Michigan, in particular to the Alma area. Harriet died in 1884; in 1885, Ammi Wright married Anna Case, who had worked as the family seamstress, and moved full-time to Alma. Wright began developing businesses and properties in Alma, starting with a store, and, in 1879-80, the Wright Opera House Block. He also constructed the Alma Roller Mills in 1881, the Wright House hotel in 1883, the First State Bank of Alma in 1883, and the Alma Springs Sanitarium in 1885. Later establishments included the Alma Sugar Company plant in 1899, the Alma Manufacturing Company gasoline engine plant in 1903, and the Central Michigan Produce Company in 1905.</p><br>
<p>Ammi Willard Wright died in 1912, leaving an estate worth approximately ten million dollars at the time of his death.</p><br>
<h2>Wright Opera House</h2><br>
<p>Wright had originally planned to build a smaller store, but by 1879 plans were expanded to accommodate five stores. The foundation was in place by fall 1879, and the exterior was finished in January of the next year. Businesses were moving into the structure by May 1880, when it was finally completed at the cost of $20,000 (about $ in todays dollars). The first tenants in the building were the Barton & Company general store (Wrights original store, now with a new set of partners), the post office, Coates & Ely Hardware, the Turck, Winton & Co. Bank, and the opera house.</p><br>
<p>The opera house, initially called "Bartons Hall," occupied the two upper floors of the building. It was used for a number of events in the social life of the town, including dramatic performances, political speeches, and musical performances. It was heavily used for a decade, then fell into disuse, then was remodeled and reopened by Wrights son-in-law, Henry Lancashire, in 1894. It was later remodeled to use as a Masonic Temple.</p><br>
<p>The entire block was renovated in 1897, and in 1899 an addition known as the Lancashire Building was constructed directly abutting (and connected with) the Opera House.</p><br>
<p>Both the original Opera House and the Lancashire Building addition housed a series of commercial establishments throughout the 20th and into the 21st century. Renovations were completed in August 2013.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Wright Opera House Block Complex consists of three interconnected buildings: the 1880 Wright Opera House Block, the 1899 Lancashire Building addition, and an associated boiler house/store building.</p><br>
<p>The Opera House Block is a three-story Italianate commercial building constructed of cream-colored brick. It covers a footprint of 110 ft (along Superior Street) by 85 ft (along State Street). The facade is five bays wide; the bays are separated by vertical piers, and each bay is topped with a cornice. The upper-story windows in the opera house section were originally tall one-over-one double-hung wooden windows, set into arched hoods with a prominent keystone and filling much of the two-story height. The windows in the upper stories in the remainder of the block were similar, but shorter and with less detail. There are two stairways to the upper floors: one near the center of the Superior Street facade, and one at the back end of the State Street facade.</p><br>
<p>The Lancashire Building addition is a two-story structure, two bays wide and measuring 152 ft by 86 ft. Three pairs of double-hung wooden windows are set into a facade on the second story. The boiler house is a one-story brick building with bricked-in windows, facing State Street.</p><br>
<p>Collington Branch is a stream that flows into the Western Branch of the Patuxent River in Prince George&#39;s County, Maryland.</p><br>
<h2>Inflows</h2><br>
<p>Woodward Pond, sometimes referred to Foxhill Lake drains into Collington Branch.</p><br>
<p>Allen Pond is a ten-acre man-made lake that drains into Collington Branch.</p><br>
<h2>Environmental concerns</h2><br>
<p>The major pollutant in this stream is non-point sediment from the communities of Highbrige Park, Gallant Fox, Stewart’s Landing, Westview,</p><br>
<p>Long Ridge, Tulip</p><br>
<p>Grove, Foxhill, Kenilworth,</p><br>
<p>Old Stage, Princeton Square,</p><br>
<p>Northview, Enfield Chase,</p><br>
<p>Woodmore Highlands in Bowie, Maryland. The source of the sediment is erosion from construction, storm water runoff carrying lawn chemicals such as excess fertilizer, and pet waste runoff from lawns.</p><br>
<h2>Historical significance</h2><br>
<p>In 1696, the Council of Maryland divided Prince George&#39;s County into six districts referred to as "Hundreds": Mattapany, Patuxent, Collington, Mount Calvert, Piscattoway and New Scotland. Collington Branch formed the boundary between Collington Hundred and Patuxent Hundred.</p><br>
<h2>Parks</h2><br>
<p>Foxhill Park contains a tributary of Collington Branch.</p><br>
<p>Collington Branch Park located at 15532 Peach Walker Dr in Bowie, Maryland takes its name from the stream but does not directly abut it.</p><br>
<p>The Collington Branch is planned for a multi-use trail that will connect Bowie with Upper Marlboro, Maryland. In 2000, the Prince George&#39;s County Bicycle and Trails Advisory Group recommended this trail as the number seven trail/bikeway priority in the county.</p><br>
<p>Harvey House, also known as the Dimmick-Harvey House, is a historic home located at Radford, Virginia. It was built in 1891-1892 by J.K. Dimmock who started the Radford Foundry.

The caves are accessible and not very deep, they have a direct entrance to the garbagudi of the temple, which is now blocked by the temple priests. Apart from multiple versions of folklore and strong Siddha culture around the belt, the origins or any information about the deity remains ambiguous.</p><br>
<h2>Trekking</h2><br>
<p>Anciently, when the present asphalt roads and the 300 concrete steps were not present, a trail was used to reach the peak, known as &#39;Sarpadari&#39; or &#39;sarpanadi&#39;. Although it is not very frequently visited now, this trail is cherished by trekkers.</p><br>
<p>The Alma Downtown Historic District is a commercial historic district in Alma, Michigan, roughly located along Superior Street between the Pine River and Prospect Avenue, and along State Street between Center and Downie Streets. and the entirety was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013. It contains 72 structures, primarily brick commercial buildings, ranging from one to three stories in height and dating from 1874  to the 1960s.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1853/54, General Ralph Ely purchased land along the Pine River and settled there with his wife and children. He erected a mill and a settlement, "Elyton," sprang up in the area. In 1858, James Gargett platted a larger nearby area and dubbed it "Alma." Both Alma and Elyton increased in size, and were soon combined under the name of Alma. Alma had seventy residents by 1860, which increased to 404 in 1870, 467 in 1880, and 1,665 in 1890.</p><br>
<p>Alma grew rapidly in the latter part of the 19th century in large part due to the local lumber industry, but also due to the agricultural prosperity of the region.</p><br>
<p>These last two buildings were constructed by Ammi Williard Wright, a lumberman who adopted Alma as his base of operations. Wright has a large influence on the development of the district, not only because he was directly responsible for some of the most important structures in the district (in addition to the Opera House, Wright built the First State Bank Building, the original Masonic Home/Sanitarium, and his personal residence), but also because he established some of the largest businesses and industries in Alma in the late 19th and early 20th century. These included constructed the Alma Roller Mills in 1881, the Wright House hotel in 1883, the First State Bank of Alma in 1883, the Alma Springs Sanitarium in 1885, the Alma Sugar Company plant in 1899, the Alma Manufacturing Company gasoline engine plant in 1903, and the Central Michigan Produce Company in 1905.</p><br>
<p>Due in large part to the growth of the city, more buildings were constructed in the district in the 1890s, most of which were brick and stone. By 1902, the two-block heart of the district along Superior between State and Gratiot was nearly all filled in with masonry structures.</p><br>
<p>Alma grew rapidly at the beginning of the 20th century, with a population of 2,757 in 1910 and 7,542 in 1920. The boom was in large part due to the increase in the industrial base, with agricultural firms such as the Central Michigan Produce Company, the Alma Sugar Company, and the Libby, McNeill, and Libby pickle canning plant opening. In addition, the founding of the Republic Motor Truck Company in 1913, and its subsequent expansion to support World War I production, drove the increase in Alma&#39;s fortunes. The commercial district followed suit, extending its boundaries both east and west along Superior, as well as south along State, as more structures were built.</p><br>
<p>However, after the war, production of trucks and Republics sales decreased dramatically, and as the companys prospects fizzled, Alma&#39;s population plateaued. Further growth did not occur until after World War II, when more manufacturing moved into the area. The commercial district saw some additional construction, although the size of the district remained substantially as it was in 1920. More significantly, there were substantial facade modernizations during the 1960s throughout the district.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Alma Downtown Historic District covers some portion of eleven city blocks along Superior and State Streets. It contains 72 structures ranging from one to three stories in height. Architectural styles range from Italianate, Queen Anne, and Neoclassical Revval to Art Moderne and International Style. The buildings in the district are primarily commercial buildings, but also included are the massive stone A. W. Wright House, as well as the 1915 hospital building, the Alma Public Building/City Hall, and the Post Office Building.</p><br>
<p>The buildings along Superior Street are nearly all brick, although some very early frame structures are also included. Most of the area has little or no space between buildings, and the first floor commercial spaces open directly onto the sidewalk. As one moves north or south along the cross streets, the building scale generally decrease and the space between buildings increases.</p><br>
<p>The following are some of the more significant buildings in the district, in order of construction:</p><br>

<p>The Alma Interiors building is a two-story frame building constructed at some time before 1884; there are still simple Greek Revival elements visible that suggest that this building may be the oldest building in downtown Alma. The building housed a hardware and tin shop in the late nineteenth century, and a millinery, dress shop, and grocer at later dates.</p><br>
<h3>Delavan Building (115 E. Superior)</h3><br>
<p>The Delavan Building, constructed in 1874, was the first brick building in Alma. It was constructed by Henry Delavan to house his general store. Delavan and his sons ran the general store in this building from the time of construction until 1914 when they sold it to W.S. Proud. Proud ran the store until the 1920s, after which it briefly housed Gay&#39;s Variety Store. In 1929, George Maier moved his clothing store into the building, and operated it until the mid-1960s when he died. The building was vacant for some time, and then was purchased by Bill Brown for his shoe store. As of 2013, the building is still occupied by a shoe store.</p><br>
<p>The Delavan Building is two-story brick commercial building, now clad on the second story with vinyl siding. The storefront has large windows and a central recessed entry. The building originally had round-arch second-story windows.</p><br>
<h3>Wright Opera House Block (101&ndash;107 E. Superior)</h3><br>
<p>The Wright Opera House Block was built in 1879&ndash;1880 by lumberman and banker Ammi Williard Wright. Wright had originally planned to construct a smaller building to house his general store, which had burned in 1876. However, after a few years of delays, and changing business partners, Wright built this impressive structure, which housed five commercial bays on the ground floor, and an opera house, initially called "Barton&#39;s Hall," which occupied the two upper floors of the building.</p><br>
<p>The Opera House Block is a three-story Italianate commercial building constructed of cream-colored brick. The Opera House was listed independently on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<h3>Church Block (202&ndash;214 E. Superior)</h3><br>
<p>The Church Block was constructed in 1886 for General Nathan Church of Ithaca. It was the fourth commercial brick structure built in Alma. Church hired George S. Young to construct the building. The Church Block is a two-story Late Victorian brick commercial block; it contains six street-level storefronts. The two center storefronts define a midsection which rises slightly above the flanking bays; on the second floor a broad and tall round-arch window is centered in the building and flanked by two square-head double window. The four bays flanking its center section also have square-head double windows on the second floor. All the storefronts have recessed central entries; the three eastern stores still have most of the external finishes, including square cast iron columns. Two of the stores still have the original ornate transoms.</p><br>
<h3>Ammi W. Wright House (503 N. State)</h3><br>
<p>This house, designed by Spier and Rohns of Detroit, was built in 1886-87 by G.S. Young as Ammi W. Wright&#39;s personal residence. The house incorporated what were at the time novel innovations in home construction, including hot water heat, electric wiring, and indoor hot and cold running water. Wright lived in this house until his death in 1912; his wife and sister-in-law continued to live there until their deaths in 1925 ind 1931. In 1934, the widow of Doctor R. B. Smith purchased the house and converted it into a hospital, which was used until 1956. It later was used by the Northwood Institute and the Northwood Center for Research and Development, and was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The Wright House is a massive 2-1/2 story brownish-gray sandstone Richardsonian Romanesque structure with a tiled gable and hip roof. The entry is through a corner porch with a flat roof and four heavy arches. A two-story gabled bay is immediately adjacent to the entry porch, and a second semi-round porch with heavy columns and a flat roof is located in the opposite corner. A timber porte cochere was once located near the front entry porch.</p><br>
<h3>Pollasky Block (101-109 W. Superior)</h3><br>
<p>Michael Pollasky had a wooden store at this location; it burned down in 1893. Between 1897 and 1902, Pollasky had George S. Young construct this brick building, using a design from Saginaw architects Haug and Schuermann. It is a two-story brick building trimmed with sandstone, and contains five storefronts at the street level, separated into bays by vertical brick piers. A sixth, narrower bay contains an entrance to the stairway. A semi-round turret sits on the corner of the building; it is lacking its original upper story and conical roof. However, the remainder of the second floor retains a high degree of integrity, containing the original double-hung windows with limestone sills and lintels, as well as pressed metalwork with wreaths and garlands near the roofline.</p><br>
<h3>Alma Public Building (225 E. Superior)</h3><br>
<p>The Alma Public Building (also known as the Alma City Hall) was constructed in 1902 using a design from Saginaw architects Haug and Schuermann. It originally housed all of Alma&#39;s public offices, including the fire house, village hall, and various offices. Several additions were made to the building, including a new firehouse in 1918, and a single-story extension to the west some time after 1924. The city used the building until 1975, when a new structure was built. The old Public Building remained vacant until 1980, when a law clinic moved in.</p><br>
<p>The Alma Public Building is a two-story red brick Richardsonian Romanesque structure with a hip roof and a prominent clock tower at the northwest corner. The original building has a rectangular plan, but later additions have given it a T shape. The front is divided into three sections: the clocktower, the main village hall, and the fire hall. Limestone beltcourses at the level of the second story window sills and lintels unites the sections.</p><br>
<h3>Odd Fellows (I.O.O.F.) Hall (313-315 N. State)</h3><br>
<p>The Odd Fellows Hall was constructed in 1904 by Alma contractor George S. Young. An addition was constructed in 1917. The Odd Fellows used the building as their headquarters until 1997. The building also housed the Alma Record and the Central Michigan Power and Light offices (later Consumers Power Company) until 1955. The building is a two-story red brick structure separated into three storefronts demarcated by brick piers. The street level storefronts have been rebuilt, and many of the upper story windows have been filled in.</p><br>
<h3>First Savings Bank Building (110 W. Superior)</h3><br>
<p>The predecessor to the First State Bank was founded as a private bank in 1880. In 1883 Ammi Wright became a partner in the bank, and in 1901 it was incorporated as the First State Bank, with Wright as President. The bank was originally housed in the Opera House Block, but in 1915 construction began on this building, and the bank moved the next year. In 1956 the bank consolidated with Alma State Savings Bank and moved to another building; this building was later used by the Delta Beauty College and the Gratiot Area Chamber of Commerce. The building is a two-story Neoclassical structure with a symmetrical three-bay facade and a recessed central entry flanked by two-story Tuscan columns.</p><br>
<h3>Masonic Home Hospital Wing (525 N. State)</h3><br>
<p>In 1910, a fire destroyed the State Masonic Lodge Old Folks Home in Grand Rapids. At around the same time, the former Alma Sanitarium became vacant as the fad for mineral baths wound down. Ammi Wright, the sanitarium&#39;s owner, offered the building to the Masonic Lodge for $60,000. The Masons were slow to accept, and faced with maintenance costs of his huge building, Wright dropped the asking price to one dollar in 1911. The Masons accepted, and on March 29, 1912 the building was rededicated the Masonic Home. In 1915, the Masons added this large hospital wing was added to the complex. Eventually, the Masons felt the need for a new campus, and in the 1930s a new complex north of Alma was constructed, and the Sanitarium building was demolished. The 1915 wing operated as a hospital until the mid-1950s. As of 2013, it houses a variety of nonprofit organizations.</p><br>
<p>The Masonic Home Hospital Wing is a 2-1/2 story Neoclassical structure built of red-brown brick and trimmed with limestone. It is a rectangular building sitting on a raised basement, with a smooth limestone beltcourse separating the rusticated brick basement from the upper floors. Two-story brick piers with limestone capitals run up the walls, above which is a brick frieze and a massive dentilated cornice. The windows are one-over-ones sitting on limestone sills. The building originally had a projecting portico with four limestone Ionic columns spanning the entire front; at some point in the mid-20th century the portico was enclosed in brick, and a small two-story red brick extension was constructed.</p><br>
<h3>United States Post Office (233 N. State)</h3><br>
<p>The Post Office was constructed in 1937-38, part of the Federal relief programs in the Great Depression. It was built from a standard design originating in the office of Louis A. Simon, Supervising Architect of the Treasury, and was constructed by the James I. Barnes Construction Company of Mount Pleasant, Michigan. It is a single-story brick building with limestone trim and a central stone staircase.</p><br>
<h3>Masonic Temple / Central National Bank Building (301 N. State)</h3><br>
<p>The Masonic Temple was built in 1963 to house the Central National Bank of Alma on the first floor and the Masonic Temple on the second. It is a large square plan brick International Style building with a deeply recessed corner entryway. It is sited on a corner, and whitish brick piers separate both street facades into bays.</p><br>
<p>Hufstedler Gravehouse or Pinckney’s Tomb is a grave shelter, or grave house, near Linden, Tennessee, that is considered to be the largest grave house in the USA state of Tennessee. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The grave house is a limestone and wood structure that covers the burial site of local farmer Pinckney Hufstedler and members of his family. It was originally built as a graveyard for about 10 to 12 burials, surrounded by a wall of cut stone almost 5 ft high. Wooden walls and a roof were added because of Pinckney Hufstedler&#39;s fears that water could get into his tomb. Hufstedler also asked that his body be transported to the burial site in a wagon drawn by white oxen, rather than mules.</p><br>
<p>The structure is deemed to be a rare example of vernacular rural cemetery architecture of the 19th century. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. In 2009, the Tennessee Preservation Trust listed it as one of the state&#39;s ten most endangered historic sites, noting that the foundation was beginning to fail.</p><br>
<p>Theodore Judah School is a historic elementary school located in Sacramento, California. The 1937 edifice is the last standing PWA school in the city.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The school opened in 1927 in a "one-room wooden bungalow" and was called the David Lubin Annex, with only a handful of children and a short-term teacher. The same year, the school was enlarged into a K-6 setting and given the name Theodore Judah School, presumably after Theodore Judah, who helped design the first First Transcontinental Railroad. In 1937, the Public Works Administration began constructing a permanent building for the school and finished in 1939.</p><br>
<p>Using the fact that it is the oldest continuously operated school in the city, as well as arguing its architectural significance, community members and school administration successfully petitioned the City of Sacramento to have the school placed on the citys historic register in 1994. In maintaining the buildings original look and feel, the Sacramento City Unified School District brought in a specialist to determine the original paint colors of the building when the building was repainted in 1995.</p><br>
<p>In 1997, the school gained placement on the National Register of Historic Places, due to its architectural design, after a seven-year-long effort on the behalf of community members.</p><br>
<p>Whale Mountain is a 3,043 ft, summit in the northwestern Cuyamaca Mountains, in San Diego County, California. It is located between Ramona, and Santa Ysabel, near Ballena Valley.</p><br>
<p>Ballena takes its name from the mountain, ballena being Spanish for whale. The Spanish name was the equivalent of the Ipai word ipank that also means whale and that was their name for the mountain.</p><br>
<p>Whale Mountain, or also known as Whale Peak, is known for being desert-like and containing many desert plants and animals: such as Cacti and Iquanas.</p><br>
<p>Whale Mountain is not the biggest mountain, but that doesn&#39;t stop it from being put on a list of places to visit in California. If visiting Whale Mountain on a day with no clouds and a clear sky, you are able to see from East to West, the Salton Sea.</p><br>
<p>Turner County Courthouse is a historic county courthouse in Ashburn, Georgia, the county seat of Turner County, Georgia. The Classical Revival building was designed by two Macon architects, Alexander Blair III  and Peter E. Dennis. The courthouse is located at 219 East College Avenue, close to several historic homes.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse was constructed in 1907-1908, Ashburn was designated the county seat when the county was formed. The courthouse has served as the county government&#39;s offices since that time. The Turner County Courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 18, 1980. The courthouse underwent restorations in 1984 and 2001.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The construction is of brick and stone, and the New Georgia Guide published by the University of Georgia Press describes the building as "impressive." It features a more flamboyant style that reflect the influence of Neo-Georgian/Colonial Revival architecture, giving a historical atmosphere to the building, as well as a somewhat Italianate appearance. The courthouse is asymmetrical because it includes a three-story clock tower, located on the west side of the building. The clock was made by the E. Howard Watch & Clock Company. The courthouse still has the original tin tiles, popular when the building was constructed, as well as an upper balcony where, before desegregation, blacks were required to sit. A state historical marker, erected by the Georgia Historical Commission in 1954, is located on the courthouse lawn.</p><br>

<p>The Wayagamac Lake is located in the city of La Tuque in La Tuque , in Mauricie, in Quebec, in Canada. Until 2006, the territory of the lake was part of the former unorganized territory of Petit-Lac-Wayagamac , before being merged to the La Tuque. The area of the lake is administered by the Zec of Bessonne.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The Wayagamac lake is located 10 km (direct line) southeast of the city of La Tuque. This lake is surrounded by mountains Laurentides. With some peaks exceeding 400 meters</p><br>
<p>This Upper-Mauricie lake is segmented into three parts, the most important is the west side. It measures 9.2 km in length (east-west) and 5.9 km wide (north-south). The two main tributaries of the lake are the dumps of "Petit lac Wayagamac" (Small lake Wayagamac) (located 4.4 km to the East by the water) and Tom Lake (located 1.2 km south by water).</p><br>
<p>Little Bostonians River</p><br>
<p>From the outlet of Little Wayagamac Lake, the Little Bostonnais River course 4.4 km (measured on water) before flowing into the lake Wayagamac (southeast side). Wayagamac lake discharges from the west in the Little Bostonnais River which has an approximate length of 10.6 km (measured by water) between the dam and the Wayagamac lake. The mouth of the river flows into the Saint-Maurice River at the southern boundary of the city of La Tuque (just south of the airport). From the discharge of Little Wayagamac lake, the Little Bostonnais River water runs westbound on 23.6 km of which 8.6 km through the Wayagamac lake.</p><br>
<p>Heron colony</p><br>
<p>Like other zec of Québec, the ZEC the Bessonne is not a protected area recognized by the Government of Quebec. By exception, logging and mining are permitted. A heronry and bird colony are based on Steamboat Island, located in the center of Lake Wayagamac. The lake also serves as a water intake for the La Tuque municipal water system.</p><br>
<p>Wayagamac Dam</p><br>
<p>Built in 1953, this high-capacity dam has a length of 55 m and 6 m high. It has a holding capacity of 145 million cubic meters of water. The structure is composed of casing filled with stones. The dam has borrowed its name from the lake Wayagamac. The name "Dam Wayagamac" was officially registered on May 11, 1987 at the Bank of place names in Geographical Names Board of Canada. Coordinates of the dam: Longitude West (72° 41 50"); North Latitude: (47° 23 02").</p><br>
<h2>Toponymy</h2><br>
<p>According to Father G. Lemoine, the term "waweia gamak" akin to the Algonquin language and means "at Round Lake". Father Joseph-Étienne Guinard consider that "waiagamak", set for "wawiagamaw" has meaning for "Round Lake". Yet its shape is triangular rather than round. This name, in the form of Wayagamack was mentioned in 1876 in a report of the surveyor Télésphore Chavigny Of Chevrotière. As of 1913, Wayagamack identified a pulp and paper established Trois-Rivières.</p><br>
<p>The name "Lake Wayagamac" was officially registered on December 6, 1968 at the "Bank to place names" of the Commission de toponymie du Québec.</p><br>
<p>In addition, Kruger, in partnership with the Société générale de financement du Québec (SGF Rexfor), has acquired the Kruger Wayagamack factory in 2001. This plant is located on the Ile-de-la-Potherie, in Trois-Rivières.</p><br>
<p>The Kanangra Creek, a perennial stream of the Hawkesbury-Nepean catchment, is located in the Blue Mountains region of New South Wales, Australia.</p><br>
<h2>Course</h2><br>
<p>The Kanangra Creek (officially designated as a river) rises near Mount Wallarra, below the Boyd Plateau on the western slopes of Mount Thurat, and flows generally south-east and north-east through Kanangra Gorge, joined by one minor tributary, before reaching its confluence with the Coxs River at Konangaroo Clearing. The river descends 950 m over its 20 km course. The river is entirely contained within the world heritage-listed Kanangra-Boyd National Park.</p><br>
<p>The Kanangra Falls, a waterfall located on the river, descends 225 m in two drops.</p><br>
<h3>Kanangra-Boyd Wilderness</h3><br>
<p>The Kanangra-Boyd Wilderness is among the largest and most rugged wilderness areas in New South Wales. Situated to the south of in the Blue Mountains and the Kanangra-Boyd National Parks, this folded belt or "Rim Rock" area is markedly different from the Permo-Triassic sandstone dominated landforms which comprise the rest of the Blue Mountains. The Kanangra Gorge, along the river floor, is cut 600 - deep in rocks of the Lambie Group, and is one of Australia&#39;s deepest gorges.</p><br>
<p>Islas de Gigantes  is an island chain within the larger Western Visayas archipelago in the Visayan Sea. It is part of the municipality of Carles, Iloilo, Philippines, and the northernmost part of Iloilo province. The Gigantes Islands consist of about ten islands; the two largest are Gigantes Norte  and Gigantes Sur . According to the 2010 census, it has a population of 12,224. There is also a lighthouse on Gigantes Norte.</p><br>
<h2>Location and geography</h2><br>
<p>The Gigantes islands are located roughly 18 km from Panay Island in the Visayan Sea. Gigantes Norte is 213 m at its highest point, while Gigantes Sur is 232 m at its highest point. A narrow.5 mi wide channel separates the two islands. Nearby islands include Balbagon Island, which is 6 km west of Gigantes Sur and is part of barangay Lantangan.</p><br>
<p>In addition to the two main islands, the Gigantes group includes the following minor islets: Bulubadiang, Gigantillo, and Gigantuna are islets southeast of Gigantes Norte, while Antonia, Bantigui, Cabugao, Tanguingui, and Turnina are islands and islets south of Gigantes Sur.</p><br>
<p>The Gigantes group consists of the following four barangays. On Gigantes Norte is Asluman and Granada and on Gigantes Sur is Lantangan and Gabi.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Gigantes group used to be called Sabuluag or Salauag, which is the name of a species of tree endemic to the islands. During the Spanish colonial era, the name was changed to Gigantes. Local legend describes coffins found inside Bakwitan Cave that contained gigantic sets of human bones, which constituted the name change. For this reason, locals also believe the island is inhabited by enkantos.</p><br>
<p>A lighthouse was built on Gigantes Norte some time before 1895. Designated ARLHS PHI-094, the white high tower features a keeper&#39;s house and a focal point 77 ft in the air, which flashes once every ten seconds. Lantangan Elementary School in Gigantes Sur has a student population of 1,144, which is higher than the populations of mainland schools.</p><br>
<h3>Typhoons</h3><br>
<p>Typhoon Fengshen, known in the Philippines as Frank, struck the Gigantes group in June 2008. Fengshen destroyed the original lighthouse on Gigantes Norte, which was one of the original 27 lighthouses built by the Spanish in the Philippines. Japan donated a replacement tower, which is made of iron and solar powered. The brick keeper&#39;s house is all that remains of the original structure.</p><br>
<p>Typhoon Haiyan, known in the Philippines as "Yolanda", passed over the Gigantes group, along with the rest of Panay, on November 8, 2013, damaging houses and boats. Unofficial reports stated more than 90 percent of the houses on Gigantes were destroyed. The typhoon also tore the roof off of Lantangan Elementary School in Gigantes Sur. As of June 2014, the roof of the school had not yet been repaired. Many groups conducted relief missions to the Gigantes group, including the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources in Region 6 (BFAR-6), the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD-6), RockEd Philippines-RockEd Iloilo, the ABS-CBN Foundation, Loma Linda University Health (LLUH), and the Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA). In June 2014, Save the Children donated more than a thousand bags of school supplies to students on the island. Aside from food and clothing, the fishing community also asked relief organizations to help rebuild their livelihoods.</p><br>
<h2>Points of interest</h2><br>
<p>Points of interest in the Gigantes group include the Bantigue sandbar, and Bakwitan Cave, one of 73 caves throughout the islands.</p><br>
<h3>Tangke</h3><br>
<p>Tangke is a saltwater lagoon located within Gigantes Sur. It is surrounded by cliffs. One local myth surrounding Tangke states that the waters would magically rise every year on June 24 during the feast of Saint John the Baptist.</p><br>
<h3>North Gigantes Island Lighthouse</h3><br>
<p>The station was established during 1895 as one of the Spanish lighthouse projects to be built across the Philippines. The current medium-sized lighthouse that is solar-powered, like most of the lighthouses built today, was donated by Japan to replace the one built by the Spanish government due to the destruction brought by Typhoon Frank in 2008. The keeper&#39;s house survived but in ruins. The masonry walls were painted white while the roof is made out of corrugated galvanized iron sheet in red paint finish.</p><br>
<h2>Transport</h2><br>
<h3>Boat</h3><br>
<p>Boats can be chartered from Bancal Port in Carles. Public ferries leave daily from Bancal Port to either Gigantes Norte or Gigantes Sur. Private boats can also be chartered to reach the islands. It takes approximately an hour from Bancal to isla de Gigantes.</p><br>

<p>Hampton Depot is a historic train station in Hampton, Henry County, Georgia. The Historic Hampton Depot is on the National Register of Historic Places for Georgia. March 26, 2011, the Colonial Dames of Georgia had a formal dedication and plaque installation on the north end of the depot, near the depot park.</p><br>
<p>The town of Hampton was the county’s only rail connection from 1846 until 1882. The present Hampton Depot had its origins in 1873, when the superintendent reported at the annual meeting of the president and directors of the Central Railroad and Banking Company that the depot "at Hampton is entirely too small and insecure, and ought to be replaced by a larger and more substantial one at the earliest day possible." He also announced that a cotton platform had recently been built next to the old wooden depot. The old wooden depot was later moved to Griffin, Georgia. In the superintendent’s report of September 1, 1880, it was announced that "a new brick warehouse has been commenced at Hampton on the Atlanta division. The building will be 35 feet wide and 170 feet long, this will give ample room for the transaction of business at that station and will also enable us to provide comfortable reception rooms for passengers." The Hampton Depot was completed in 1881.</p><br>
<p>The Hampton Depot was unusual in that it included a warehouse for cotton in the same building with the passenger area. Other cities had separate cotton markets. Passenger service for Hampton was four trains per day in 1940, although three stopped only if flagged down. By 1950, it was two per day, one of those by flag, and by 1955, only one per day, by flag only. Passenger rail service in Hampton ended in 1957.</p><br>
<p>In 1975, the depot was donated to the City of Hampton, which renovated the passenger area for use as a city hall and police department, council chambers and recorder&#39;s court. The land is still owned by the railroad; the depot is now the "Glenn Mitchell Administration and Community Building." (Glenn Mitchell was Hampton’s mayor from December 1950 until December 1972, and again, from December 1974 until December 1978.)</p><br>
<p>The rooms off the park side of the depot, now house the Main Street Director, and a museum with items donated and on-loan from various residents of Hampton.</p><br>
<p>Able to be rented for pre season trips for the boys</p><br>
<p>Locust Grove Institute , now Locust Grove Memorial Complex, is a former college preparatory school and  was used as an elementary school. It was founded by the Locust Grove Baptist Church and Mercer University in Locust Grove, Henry County, Georgia, and opened in 1894. The school building was constructed in 1904 for $14,000. Some of the wooden structures were destroyed by fire and were replaced by more substantial structures. Its operations and ownership changed with the onset of war, depression and competition from public schools. It was empty for several years until 1936, when it became a public elementary school.</p><br>
<p>The city of Locust Grove purchased the school building in 1983. The school&#39;s Academic Building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 4, 1986. The school is located at 3644 State Route 42.</p><br>
<p>The First Parish Burial Ground is a historic cemetery near 122 Centennial Avenue in Gloucester, Massachusetts. Established in 1644, the 2.5 acre site is Gloucester&#39;s oldest burying ground. It once stood at the heart of the Gloucester settlement, and was for 80 years its only cemetery. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. It is not well maintained.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Gloucester&#39;s First Parish Burial Ground is located northwest of downtown Gloucester, and about 0.25 mi east of the Annisquam River. It is set on 2.5 acre, mostly obscured from view by its remove from roadways and by mature border plantings. It is roughly hexagonal in shape, and is accessed by a narrow strip of land connecting it to Centennial Avenue. It is bounded by a playground, another cemetery, the MBTA Commuter Rail tracks, and the densely built housing of Centennial Avenue. Most of its border is demarcated by a low fieldstone wall, and there is an iron gate with stone posts at the entrance. An overgrown footpath traverses the narrow strip to the main body of the cemetery, which has no discernible circulating paths. The terrain is somewhat uneven, with tufted grass and other vegetation accentuating the unevenness.</p><br>
<p>Grave markers span a remarkable 295 years, from at least 1661 (though this marker is a reproduction) to 1956. There are about 650 marked graves, which do not follow any formal plan of organization. A number of markers have broken or become disfigured by the elements. The oldest markers, from the 17th century, are typically of slate, schist, or sandstone, and bear motifs of winged skulls. 19th-century graves are typically marked with marble. The largest single monument is the tomb Reverend John White (d. 1760), which is built out of brick with a sandstone top. Other prominent burials include veterans of the American Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. Burials declined after 1850, and the last recorded burial was in 1925.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery was laid out in 1644, when this area was near Gloucesters original main settlement (roughly where Grant Circle is now located). It was for eighty years the towns only cemetery. It is presently overseen by the city&#39;s Cemetery Advisory Committee.</p><br>
<p>The St. Nicholas Hotel is a historic hotel located at 400 E. Jefferson St. in Springfield, Illinois, US.</p><br>
<p>The original building of the St. Nicholas Hotel was constructed in 1855. An annex was built on the hotel in 1910, and the current main building was constructed in 1924. The Georgian Revival main building was designed by the New York City architectural firm H.L. Stevens and Company. When the current main building opened, it was the second-tallest building in Springfield after the State Capitol.</p><br>
<p>During sessions of the Illinois General Assembly, the St. Nicholas Hotel became a meeting place for Illinois politicians, who often conducted political business within the building. The hotel has hosted many notable visitors to Springfield, including three USA Presidents: Harry S. Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and John F. Kennedy.</p><br>
<p>Paul Powell lived in the St. Nicholas Hotel during his term as the Illinois Secretary of State. After his death in 1970, the executor of Powells will found $750,000 ($ in present-day terms) in cash stored in shoeboxes, briefcases, and strongboxes in Powells suite, room 546 of the hotel. As the money greatly exceeded Powells salary, which was at the most $30,000 per year, a federal investigation examined Powells behavior while in office. The investigation determined that Powell had acquired the money via illegal cash bribes and led to the imprisonment of several state contractors.</p><br>
<p>The hotel was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 10, 1983. It is the only remaining hotel in Springfield which dates from the 1920s or earlier.</p><br>
<p>The East Ward School, also known as the Teresa Merrill School, was an educational building located at 106 North Traver Street in St. Johns, Michigan. It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It was unusual for its size and its elaborate brickwork. The school building has been replaced with a housing development and a preschool.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The East Ward School was constructed in 1876 from plans by Bay City architect Oliver Hidden. An addition was constructed in 1906. In 1976, the school was renamed the Theresa Merrill School in honor of a former principal, and was used for adult education classes. It was replaced with a housing development and a preschool in 2003.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The East Ward School was a single-story brick structure consisting of two sections: the original building, constructed in 1876, and a 1906 addition. The 1876 building was a rectangular structure, with a low hip roof with a gable at each end. A projecting entrance had an arced, recessed porch topped with another gable. The brickwork contained an elaborate decorative scheme with corbelled and paneled bricks. There were two rooms in the interior.</p><br>
<p>The 1906 addition was approximately the same size as the earlier section, and also contained two rooms. It had a high hip roof and brickwork that matched that of the earlier section.</p><br>
<p>A bell tower which was originally above the front entrance to the older section had been removed. In addition, the original narrow windows of the older section had been removed and replaced with wider windows which matched the newer section.</p><br>
<p>The River Lett, a perennial stream of the Hawkesbury-Nepean catchment, is located in the Central Tablelands region of New South Wales, Australia.</p><br>
<h2>Course</h2><br>
<p>The River Lett rises on the southern slopes of the Bell Range, below, approximately 10 km north of, and flows generally west south-west, joined by two minor tributaries, before reaching its confluence with the Coxs River, at Glenroy, south-west of the historical settlement of. The river course is approximately 10 km.</p><br>
<p>The Great Western Highway traverses the River Lett near Hartley, at the bottom of the ascent of River Lett Hill. The remains of an old timber bridge that carried traffic on the Great Western Highway over the River Lett can be found near the settlement of Hartley.</p><br>
<p>Mangal aeri, or Mangal lake, is a rain-fed reservoir in the neighbourhood of Mugappair in Chennai, India.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The lake served as a water source for the village of Mugappair several hundred years ago. However, the lake started deteriorating since the establishment of Ambattur Industrial Estate abutting it owing to letting in of waste water from the industrial units. In 2005, renovation of the lake began at a cost of 2 million, with building a compound wall around an area of 30 acres. In July 2009, the first phase of the renovated lake was opened to public at a cost of 6 million.</p><br>
<h2>Infrastructure</h2><br>
<p>The water body is spread over an area of 5.32 acres. In the first phase of renovation, a walkers track measuring 4.5 m in width and 520 m in length was constructed around the lake and lighting facility was provided. Locations for childrens play area was demarcated and a vacant space of about 20,000 sq ft was earmarked for a new park to be set up at a cost of 2.5 million in the second phase.</p><br>
<p>There is an Achalathamman temple on the bank of the lake.</p><br>
<p>The second phase of the project, however, has not yet been started.</p><br>
<p>Airmens Cave is a cave located adjacent to Barton Creek in Travis County in south Austin, Texas. It is 3,444 m long, and is characterized by long crawls and tight passages. The cave is within the Barton Creek Greenbelt public park, and is managed by the City of Austins Parks and Recreation Department.</p><br>
<h2>Features</h2><br>
<p>The cave is formed from the Edwards limestone of the early Cretaceous, and was original a feeder for Barton Springs before the water table lowered and the stream found a different course. It is home to a number of endangered troglobite species, including Rhadine persephone (the Tooth Cave ground beetle), Tartarocreagris texana (the Tooth Cave pseudoscorpion), Neoleptoneta myopica (the Tooth Cave spider), Texella reddelli (the Bee Creek cave harvestman), Texella reyesi (the Bone Cave harvestman), and Texamaurops reddelli (the Kretschmarr Cave mold beetle).</p><br>
<p>One of the more foreboding passages, found within sight of daylight, is the "Birth Canal": a tight, restricting tunnel that once discouraged many novice cavers from continuing on. Much deeper in the cave is a space known as the "Aggie Art Gallery," containing a reddish maroon clay and dozens of handmade sculptures, all formed and left behind by cavers.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The cave was discovered in 1971 by two airmen from Bergstrom Air Force Base, who excavated a draughting crack under a crag. It was explored and surveyed over the next three years by members of the University of Texas Grotto of the National Speleological Society, who had to dig their way through several blockages.</p><br>
<p>The cave was the subject of a major rescue effort in October 2007 when three students became lost. They emerged unharmed after being underground for 30 hours.</p><br>
<p>In 2012 a security gate was installed in response to a sharp increase in traffic, which was considered to pose a serious safety risk to untrained individuals exploring the cave, as well as being a threat to the cave and its fauna.</p><br>
<p>The Grand Lake Bostonnais is located in the La Tuque , in the administrative region of Mauricie, in Quebec, Canada. This lake is an important body of water is feeding the Bostonnais River which pours at La Tuque in Saint-Maurice River. The territory around Grand Lake Bostonnais is entirely in forest.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Located at 62 km (measured in a direct line) northeast of the city of La Tuque, Grand Lake Bostonnais is encased between mountains. The surface of this lake which is frozen from November to April, has an average elevation of 413 meters above sea level. The north end of the lake is located at a distance of 4.4 kilometers south of the Quebec route 155 which links La Tuque and Chambord, Lac Saint-Jean.</p><br>
<p>Grand Lake Bostonnais has a length of 10.8 km in the north-south direction. The southern part of the lake is 2.4 km wide and 2.8 km for northern part. A large island occupies the center of the southern part of the lake. A dozen other small islands are scattered mostly in the northern part of the lake.</p><br>
<p>The lake is fed mostly on the east side by the discharge of the Lake Kiskissink; the latest is fed from the South by the discharge of Lescarbot Lake. Lake Kiskissink length is made parallel to the “Grand Lake Bostonnais”. From the mouth of Lake Kiskissink, this segment of Bostonnais River has a length of 8.2 km (a river of 3.8 km, then a strait of 4.4 km long which is an arm of Grand Lake Bostonnais). Between the two lakes is forestry center called Van Bruyssels.</p><br>
<p>The mouth of the Grand Lake Bostonnais is located on the west side at the end of a little bay. Bostonnais River cross the lake. The rehabilitation of the dam Grand Lake Bostonnais is a joint project with Ducks Unlimited Canada, the Quebec Wildlife Foundation, Hydro-Québec and Zec Kiskissink for a total cost of $550,000. This project aims to maintain the lake level to promote breeding waterfowl in flooded areas and protection of spawning grounds in the outlet during the winter low flow period. The lake drains in the Bostonnais River.</p><br>
<h2>Toponymy</h2><br>
<p>The name of the lake commemorates Jean-Baptiste Bostonais, a trapper Abenaki originated in Boston, Massachusetts, in New England, who had a hunting territory in the region. His name often comes up in local place names with the Large and Small Bostonnais lakes, the Bostonnais channel, the Little Bostonnais River and Bostonnais island. The river gave its name to the village of La Bostonnais, which with La Tuque is the only community on the banks of this river.</p><br>
<p>The toponym "Grand Lake Bostonnais" was officially registered on December 5, 1968 at the Bank of place names in Commission de toponymie du Québec (Geographical Names Board of Québec)</p><br>
<p>Union Station is a building in Houston, Texas, in the United States. Dedicated on March 2, 1911, and formerly a hub of rail transportation, the building now serves as a cornerstone for Minute Maid Park. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and has since been superseded by Houston&#39;s Amtrak station.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Construction and rail use</h3><br>
<p>In 1909 the Houston Belt and Terminal Railway Company commissioned the design of a new union station for Houston from New York City-based architects Warren and Wetmore. The location called for the demolition of several structures of Houston prominence. Horace Baldwin Rices residence and Adath Yeshurun Congregations synagogue among other structures were removed.</p><br>
<p>With an original estimated cost of $1 million USD, Union Station was constructed by the American Construction Company for an eventual total of five times that amount. Exterior walls were constructed of granite, limestone, and terracotta, while the interior used an extensive amount of marble. It was completed and opened on March 1, 1911. At the time, Houston, with seventeen railways, was considered the main railroad hub of the Southern United States. This is also evident by the Seal of Houston, which prominently features a locomotive. Two more floors were added the following year.</p><br>
<p>The station served as the main inter-city passenger terminal for Houston for over seven decades thereafter.</p><br>
<p>Major railroad lines served:</p><br>
<p>Burlington Northern, including Texas Zephyr to Dallas and Denver</p><br>
<p>Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad, including Twin Star Rocket, to Minneapolis, via Dallas, Ft. Worth, Kansas City and Des Moines</p><br>
<p>Missouri Pacific, including Texas Eagle, to St. Louis; and Houstonian and Oleanian to Beaumont, Baton Rouge and New Orleans</p><br>
<p>Santa Fe, including Texas Chief to Chicago, and service from Houston to Clovis, New Mexico and Temple, Texas (for Santa Fe trains to Richmond and Los Angeles, California and Chicago)</p><br>
<p>Southern Pacific, including Sunset Limited to Los Angeles (via San Antonio) and New Orleans</p><br>
<p>Passenger rail declined greatly after World War II. The last regularly-scheduled train, the Lone Star, moved its service to Houston&#39;s current Amtrak station on July 31, 1974. With this move, the building effectively ceased to be a public facility and was taken over by the Houston Belt & Terminal and its parent railroads as office space and a dispatching center. One section of the building in the south end of the second floor was leased to the Houston Society of Model Engineers, which operated a large HO scale model railroad layout they named the "Texas, Crawford & Prairie RR", after the three streets which form the boundary of the original property of the station. On November 10, 1977, the building was named to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>In 2005 Southern Pacific 2-10-2 982 was moved from Hermann Park to the corner of Texas Avenue and Avenidas de las Americas between the George R. Brown Convention Center and Union Station. In 2013 it was donated to the Nau Center for Texas Culture to be located in the Get Big Things Done gallery However, construction of the Center was halted in March 2015 due to "kyrocketing construction costs and the challenge of raising $80 million within a short period..."</p><br>
<h3>Ballpark-era</h3><br>
<p>Plans for a new Houston ballpark to replace the Astrodome began in 1995, and originally called for a site to be used at the Astrodomain. In August 1996, Houstons Union Station received a $2 million USD grant from the Texas Transportation Commission for renovation in a separate project. Plans for the new ballparks location drastically changed by September mostly in response to Enron Chairman Kenneth Lay&#39;s input and pledge to substantially contribute to funding if placed downtown. It was at this time that the Union Station location was proposed by Lay.</p><br>
<p>Construction of Enron Field, now named Minute Maid Park, was completed thereafter with Union Station preserved and renovated as the ballpark&#39;s main lobby. It opened on April 7, 2000.</p><br>
<p>Utterslev is a neighbourhood in the Bispebjerg district of Copenhagen, Denmark. Ut is centered on Utterslev Torv and is most known for the Utterslev Mose marshland which straddles the border to Gladsaxe Municipality to the north.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the Middle Ages Utterslev was a large country estate comprising the villages of Serridslev, Solbjerg, Vanløse, Vigerslev, Valby, Brønshøj and Emdrup. The village of Utterslev has existed since the 14th century when it consisted of houses and farm buildings around the village pond. In the Dano-Swedish War of 1657, King Charles X Gustav of Sweden established his headquarters in Utterslev. The village lost its status as such in 1784.</p><br>
<h2>Notable buildings and residents</h2><br>
<p>Marked on maps in the 12th and 13th centuries, the village pond is one of the oldest in Denmark. The pond is still surrounded by old buildings and some of the former roads.</p><br>
<p>Utterslev Church, completed in 1963, closed in September 2013 as a result of weakening support. Only half of those living in the area are members of the Church of Denmark. Utterslev Skole, completed in 2006, was the first folkeskole to be built by Copenhagen Municipality for more than 25 years. Located between Utterslev Torv and Bispebjerg Cemetery, it was designed to set new standards for flexibility, air quality and sustainability, where possible making use of environmentally friendly materials. The building known as Sokkelundlille (now a child-care centre) was originally a hunting lodge built for King Christian VII in 1770.</p><br>
<h2>Parks and open spaces</h2><br>
<p>Utterslev Mose, Copenhagen&#39;s largest area of parkland, was laid out around Søborg Sø in 1943. Now a recreational area, it is known for its lakes and bird life.</p><br>
<p>The Iron Mountain Central Historic District is a historic district, broadly located between Fleshiem and C Streets and between Iron Mountain and Stockbridge Avenues in Iron Mountain, Michigan. The district covers the city’s central business district and adjacent areas. It is primarily commercial, but also contains the historic county courthouse complex, and school, library, and church buildings. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>A major iron ore deposit was discovered near what is now Iron Mountain in 1878/79; the first ore from the first area mine (the Chapin Mine) was produced in late 1879. Iron Mouintain was first platted in December 1879 by Samuel M. and Isaac Stephenson and Joseph Flesheim; their platting encompassed what is now the northeast portion of the Central Historic District. Numerous other mines opened in the area, and workers began flooding in. Buildings appeared in Iron Mountain almost overnight, and in 1881 the Stephensons and Joseph Flesheim executed a second plat, extending the original one to the west. In 1882 they made a second addition, and other businessmen added plats so that by late 1883, the entirety of what is now the Central Historic District hade been platted.</p><br>
<p>During the decade that followed, the population of Iron Mountain soared, to over 5000 in 1888 and over 8500 in 1890. Following the population boom, wooden commercial buildings sprang up along Stephenson Street, beginning at Fleishem and continuing south to C Street. Following a string of fires, in 1889 an ordinance was enacted to mandate masonry commercial buildings. A number of buildings were constructed in the late 1880s and early 1890s, including four large masonry structures in 1891.</p><br>
<p>As the 20th century turned, the population boom of the late 19th century had plateaued. The Panic of 1893 precipitated an industrial slowdown and a surge of unemployment in the local mines. Although the local economy recovered, the 1900 population was just over 9000, only a few hundred more than in 1890. The subsequent gradual decline of mining in the early twentieth century, with few new industries in the area to take its place, heralded a slow decline in population; by 1920 Iron Mountain again had a little more than 8500 people. Mirroring the general economic health of the city, only a few new buildings were constructed from 1900-1920.</p><br>
<p>With the onset of the 1920s, the local economy again boomed. Ford Motor Company constructed a sawmill and body plant in 1921-22, which employed 2200 people in 1923 and over 7000 in 1925. In addition, the surge in national automotive traffic and improvements in roads boosted the local tourism economy. By 1924, an additional 5000 people had moved into Iron Mountain. The boom in population again heralded a boom in construction in the downtown commercial district.</p><br>
<p>With the onset of the Great Depression, the economic fortunes of the area plummeted. In 1933, it was estimated that 85% of the local workforce was unemployed. While the economy slowly improved from this nadir, very few building projects were undertaken in the 1930s. After World War II, the economy again improved, despite the closing of the Ford plant in 1951 and the continuous decline in population of the city. A number of construction and renovation projects were undertaken in the two decades following the war.</p><br>
<p>As the district entered the latter years of the 20th century, it encountered a number of challenges, including new commercial development that occurred outside of the downtown area and several fires that destroyed buildings within the district. Nonetheless, the city has strongly supported the downtown area, including support for preservation and rehabilitation of the district&#39;s historic building stock.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Iron Mountain Central Historic District encompasses Iron Mountain’s downtown, along and adjacent to Stephenson Avenue (US-2), the main commercial street through the city. The district is irregularly shaped, covering the city’s central business district and also extending to adjacent areas containing the historic county courthouse complex, and school, library, and church buildings. The district contains a total of 144 buildings, primarily dating from the early 1880s to the mid-1960s, but also including twelve newer structures.</p><br>
<p>Most of the buildings within the district have contained commercial establishments. As the district was the main business section of Iron Mountain for over a century, the business in it have varied across a wide spectrum. In the late 19th century, as the city was first built, the business district&#39;s buildings contained general stores, grocery and dry-goods stores, clothing and shoe stores, millineries, fruit and confectionery stores, jewelers, drug stores, hardware and lumber stores, furniture stores, butchers, bakeries, and blacksmiths. Businesses also included undertakers, livery stables, banks, barber shops, photographers, hotels, restaurants, saloons, and billiard parlors. in the early 20th century, different types of stores emerged, including department stores, book and stationery stores, sporting goods stores, paint and decorating stores, carpet stores, appliance stores, plumbing and heating businesses, laundries, auto garages and dealerships, gas stations, auto parts stores, movie houses, bowling alleys, and dance halls.</p><br>
<p>Many of the buildings in the area housed fraternal and service organizations on the upper floors, including the Masonic Temple, Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias, Ancient Order of United Workmen, Sons of St. George, Improved Order of Red Men, Scandinavian Aid and Fellowship Society, Knights of the Modern Maccabees, the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR), Ste. Jean Baptiste Society, Catholic Order of Foresters, Society Fraterlante, the National Protective League, and the Benevolent Protective Order of Elk. In addition to commercial establishments, the district also housed government buildings, including the county courthouse, city hall, and post office. Educational establishments in the district include the public junior high and high school, a Catholic school, and the public library (now a museum). The district also contains six churches and some single-family houses.</p><br>
<p>Older residential neighborhoods adjoin the district on the east, southeast, west, and southwest. A large tract of nearly vacant land, which once contained the Chapin Mine and related structures, abuts the district to the north.</p><br>
<p>Some of the most significant structures located within the Iron Mountain Central Historic District are listed below in the order of construction.</p><br>
<h3>Unnamed store (535-537 Stephenson)</h3><br>
<p>This unnamed store, constructed c. 1883 for Richard Williams, is probably the oldest extant commercial building in Iron Mountain&#39;s downtown district. The earliest recorded use of the building was as a meat market; later it was used as a fruit and confectionery shop and a grocery. A narrow corner storefront addition (537) was built some time in the 1920s. The original building is a two-story falsefront gable-roof wooden store building. It is faced with modern siding. The 1920s addition is a single-story Commercial Brick building.</p><br>
<h3>German Hotel (407 Merritt)</h3><br>
<p>The German Hotel was constructed at some time between 1884 and 1888, probably for John Marsch and Fred Gothe. It housed a saloon and hotel; and was certainly run by Marsch and Gothe by 1892. In 1920, they sold the hotel to Anton Lovrich, who changed the name to the American Hotel and ran it until at least 1949. The hotel is a two-story wooden structure, now clad in diagonal wood siding on the first floor and narrow vinyl siding on the second. The front entry is edged with 1950s-looking random ashlar masonry, and the windows are modern; however, the basic shape of the building is still original.</p><br>
<h3>John Russell Building (100 E. Brown)</h3><br>
<p>This building was constructed at some time between 1884 and 1888, and is first identified as a general store. In 1892, the store is identified as John Russells general store. For some time, the upstairs was used by the Masonic Temple, and then in 1910 was used by R. F. Dundons Actual Business College. Russell retired in 1924 and leased the first floor storefront to the Chalmers & Burns Confectionery, who occupied the space until 1937. In 1938, I. Zacks & Co. (Isadore Zacks and sons Max and Maurice), meat and fruit wholesalers, renovated and moved in. The rear addition was probably constructed at this time. In 1952, Zacks sold the building to Mose Cohodes & Son, a meat wholesaler, who used it until the 1980s.</p><br>
<p>The John Russell Building is a deep 2-story brick building, now with two small horizontal windows in the front below what seems to be the original storefront frieze. There are two widely separated square-head windows in the second story. Two more modern additions are located to the side and rear.</p><br>
<h3>First Presbyterian Church (200 W. Brown)</h3><br>
<p>The Presbyterian Church in Iron Mountain was established in 1884, and this building was constructed for the congregation by early 1886 for about $3000. The congregation occupied this building until 1958, when they moved to a new church in Kingsford. It was then used as a welfare workshop, and as the Pine Mountain Baptist Chapel/Church. In 2000, it was purchased by Francie’s Traditional Designs.</p><br>
<p>The First Presbyterian Church is a wooden Late Victorian/Stick style structure with a cross-gable roof, a red sandstone foundation, and a pyramid-roof square tower with an open belfry. The clapboard exterior is subdivided vertically by applied stickwork and horizontally by a broad band of vertical boarding. The gables have stick- and pierced-work ornamentation, and the An enclosed front entry porch has more stickwork trimming. The original windows are still in place. The interior has original pine board floor and dark narrow beaded ceiling board in the gabled auditorium ceiling.</p><br>
<h3>Chicago & North Western passenger depot (310 Stephenson)</h3><br>
<p>The Chicago & North Western railroad reached Iron Mountain in 1880, at which time a wooden passenger depot was constructed. This building, constructed in 1889, replaced the original passenger depot. It served as a passenger depot until the service was discontinued in about 1950. The railway sold the building in 1953, and in 1954 Bert Harvey’s Sports Shop opened in the building. It has continued to house various commercial establishments.</p><br>
<p>The depot is a long, narrow, single-story building with walls faced with limestone on the lower portion and brick above. The roof has gable ends and overhangs substantially on each long side. A slant bay window projects from the midpoint of the side originally facing the tracks, with a large semi-octagonal dormer directly above.</p><br>
<h3>Wood Sandstone Block (206-16 E. Ludington)</h3><br>
<p>The block was built in 1891 for John R. Wood, president of the First National Bank. It was called the "Sandstone" block to differentiate it from Wood’s large brick block that contained the bank. The building initially contained six stores on the ground floor, and the Dickinson County government offices on the floor above. It was renovated into a hotel in 1896, then in 1900 the city government purchased the building and used it for their offices until 1994. It is currently used for commercial and office space.</p><br>
<p>The Wood Sandstone Block is a massive two-story Richardsonian Romanesque structure with walls of brownish random ashlar and sandstone. It is 130 ft long, and divided into seven sections by piers. Three broad arches at one end once contained fire engine bays; they are now filled with windows. Through the rest of the buildings, modern storefronts have decorative cast iron piers and columns that harmonize with the historic design of the building. The second story contains transomed square-head windows in pairs and triples.</p><br>
<h3>Dickinson County Courthouse (705 Stephenson)</h3><br>
<p>This courthouse and the associated jail was built in 1896 from plans by architect James E. Clancy of Antigo, Wisconsin, a former Iron Mountain resident. A new jail was constructed in 1985, and the old structure remained vacant and in disrepair until 1979. After renovations in 1982, county offices moved in. The courthouse is a 2-1/2 story Richardsonian Romanesque structure, built of red brick and Portage Entry sandstone. The front facade contains a rounded arch entryway, supported by two granite columns. The medieval-inspired jail was designed to complement the courthouse; it is a two-story structure built of red brick and sandstone, capped with stone battlemented parapets and a tin roof.</p><br>
<h3>Public Library Building (300 Ludington)</h3><br>
<p>In 1901, Andrew Carnegie donated $15,000 toward the construction of this library. It was constructed in 1901-02 from a design by J.E. Clancy, a locally prominent architect. It served as library until 1971, when it became the Menominee Range Museum. It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1977. The building is a T-shaped Neoclassical structure with a hip roof, a raised uncut stone basement. and a stone facade. The second story porch has Ionic columns and a balustrade.

<p>Saint John Harbour is a large natural harbour on the Atlantic coast of New Brunswick, Canada, located in the city of Saint John, New Brunswick.</p><br>
<h2>Harbour description</h2><br>
<p>The harbour includes the following geographic areas:</p><br>
<p>Anthonys Cove</p><br>
<p>Hazen Creek</p><br>
<p>Courtenay Bay</p><br>
<p>Round Reef</p><br>
<p>Saint John River</p><br>
<h3>Islands</h3><br>
<p>The harbour is home to several small islands including:</p><br>
<p>Partridge Island</p><br>
<p>Navy Island</p><br>
<h2>Navigation</h2><br>
<p>There are two large bridges crossing The Narrows:</p><br>
<p>the Saint John Harbour Bridge</p><br>
<p>the Reversing Falls Bridge, opening in 1970</p><br>
<h2>Port facilities</h2><br>
<p>The harbour is managed by the Port of Saint John.</p><br>
<h2>Pollution and harbor cleanup</h2><br>
<p>The Saint John, New Brunswick harbour cleanup infrastructure project brought an end to the routine discharge raw sewage into the waterways of Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada. The $99 million initiative involved completing a third wastewater treatment plant in east Saint John, and diverting existing outfalls to it through lift and pumping stations. The initiative received full funding from the municipal, provincial and federal governments in 2008 and the project was completed in 2014.</p><br>
<p>Saint John previously discharged 16 million litres of raw sewage into the Saint John Harbour and its streams every day. The practice had been going on in Saint John since the mid-1800s. Although Saint John was not the only municipality in Canada that dumped untreated wastewater into its environment, it had been unique in that its outfalls once flowed into local streams, forming open sewers that ran through the center of the city.</p><br>
<p>Canadian guidelines suggest that waters with counts of greater than 200 fecal coliform bacteria per 100 ml sample are unsafe for human contact (such as wading, swimming, fishing, or swimming of pets). Post-cleanup sampling conducted during 2014 along the lowest 400 m of the creek - which had historically received the greatest volume of untreated municipal wastewater - revealed decreases in faecal bacteria counts ranging from 95 to 99%, as compared to results from 2013. While as of 2014 the levels of bacteria still remained on average above the federal recreational water safety guidelines of 200 counts/100 ml at all sites tested, the substantial improvements in water quality have been encouraging.</p><br>
<p>Previously, in several places Saint John&#39;s scenic Harbour Passage walking trail came close to outfalls that had contaminated the harbour with waste that was unsafe for human contact. A University of New Brunswick study had also found that fish in the waterways were contaminated by the raw sewage, making handling a human health risk. Unsightly personal hygiene products (tampons, condoms, toilet paper, etc.) had sometimes been visible on beaches and hanging from the vegetation along the shoreline. Those outfalls were decommissioned as part of the cleanup project.</p><br>
<h2>Shipwrecks</h2><br>
<p>Victoria-</p><br>
<p>Lac Île-à-la-Crosse is a lake in North-Central Saskatchewan, Canada on the Churchill River. It is basically Y-shaped. At the center of the Y is the town of Île-à-la-Crosse, the second oldest town in Saskatchewan. The Churchill exits the northeast arm and flows east to Hudson Bay through a series of lakes. The Churchill enters at the northwest arm called Aubichon Arm or Deep River. Upstream it leads northwest to Athabasca Country passing Churchill Lake, Peter Pond Lake, Lac La Loche and on to the Methye Portage leading to Lake Athabasca.</p><br>
<p>The Beaver River comes from the south and west and enters on the east side. The headwaters of the Beaver are southwest between the upper Athabasca River and the upper North Saskatchewan River in the Lac la Biche area in Alberta. Lac Île-à-la-Crosse is reached from the south by Saskatchewan Highway 155 which follows the Beaver River. To the southeast is Lac la Plonge and to the southwest Canoe Lake. To the east are many lakes which are widenings of the Churchill.</p><br>
<h2>Fur trade posts</h2><br>
<p>Given its strategic location it was a natural stop for the fur trade. See Canadian canoe routes (early). Once the trade developed pemmican was carried up the Beaver from the buffalo country on the North Saskatchewan. In 1767 Louis Primeau, in the service of the Hudson&#39;s Bay Company, was reported on the Beaver River which means he must have passed through the lake. In 1776 Primeau, working for Thomas Frobisher of Montreal, built a post on the lake.</p><br>
<p>In 1776-77, Peter Pond wintered here as did Thomas Frobisher. Around 1786, Scottish explorer Alexander Mackenzie, working for Gregory&McLeod, competed with Patrick Small of the NWC.In 1787 William McGillivray was a clerk here. In 1782-85 there were three groups of independent traders, but by 1789 they were consolidated into the Northwest Company. Around 1790 McGillivray managed the Churchill River Department of the NWC from here. Here in 1799 David Thompson (explorer) married a thirteen or fourteen-year-old Métis daughter of Patrick Small. Unlike most "country marriages" this lasted until his death.</p><br>
<p>William Linklater of the HBC built a post in 1799. Peter Skene Ogden and Samuel Black of the NWC harassed it. In the spring of 1811 Peter Fidler (explorer) was forced to abandon it and the Nor&#39;westers burnt it to the ground. In 1814 the HBC built a new post at a different location. In 1817 or 1818 the NWC built a fence around it. The HBC built a third time and called their post Fort Superior. The two companies were merged in 1821. By around 1980 there was still an HBC warehouse. Most of the posts were located near the town of Île-à-la-Crosse, but either the Northwest Company or the XY Company seems to have had a place on the west side of the mouth of the Beaver River.</p><br>
<p>Lake Echo, which is almost round, has a surface area of 68.92 acre. Lake Echo is inside the city of Lake Alfred, Florida. The north and east shores and part of the south shore are bordered by residences. The west and southwest shores are bordered by citrus groves. The southeast shore is bordered by a wooded area. Lake Cummings is 360 ft west of Lake Echo.</p><br>
<p>Lake Echo has public access at two places. One is on the northwest side of the lake, at the end of South Winona Avenue. Here is the Lake Echo Boat Ramp, which consists of a public boat ramp and public fishing dock/boat dock. On the south side of the lake, at the end of South Nekoma Avenue, is the Echo Terrace Dock. This consists of a public fishing dock and picnic table. The lake has no public swimming beach. Also, a canal on the southeast shore goes to nearby Lake Rochelle. This canal, however, is not always full of water and cannot be navigated by any boats. Technically, since Lake Echo is connected by a canal to Lake Rochelle, it is part of the northern system of the Winter Haven Chain of Lakes. There is no information on Lake Echo about the types of fish in the lake.</p><br>
<p>The Lake Kiskissink is located in the La Tuque , in Mauricie, in Quebec, in Canada. The area surrounding the lake is administered by the Zec Kiskissink</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Located at 63 km (direct line) northeast of La Tuque downtown, 42 km (direct line) southwest of Chambord, and 21 km north east of Lac-Édouard, the Kiskissink lake has a very elongated shape in the north-south direction. The lake has a length of 11.2 km and a maximum width of 1.7 km (considering a bay). This lake is formed in parallel to the Grand Lake Bostonnais, located fifteen kilometers to the west side. Kiskissink Lake is located in the cantons of Rhodes and Lescarbot. The average level of the surface of the lake is at an altitude of 416 m. Some surrounding mountains exceed 460 m. Kiskissink the lake and its southern neighbor, the Lescarbot lake, are located along the boundary waters with the watershed of Lac Saint-Jean (Métabetchouan river); this line breaker is between one and two km (the east side) depending on location.</p><br>
<p>The Kiskissink lake is fed by the south by the discharge of Lake Lescarbot feeds the head of the Bostonnais River. From the mouth (located at the North) of Lake Kiskissink, a segment of the Bostonnais River flowing north, then west, has a length of 8.2 km (3.8 km which river and along the Strait of 4.4 km which is a long bay Grand Lake Bostonnais).</p><br>
<p>The locality (village) of Kiskissink is located at the end of a long bay at the north-west of Lake Kiskissink.</p><br>
<h2>Toponymy</h2><br>
<p>From Algonquin and Montagnais, this name means "little cedar" in the past, the lake Kiskissink was designated "Cedar Lake". The name “Lake Kiskissink” was officially registered on December 5, 1968 at the Bank of place names in Commission de toponymie du Québec (Geographical Names Board of Québec).</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Indian Prehistory</p><br>
<p>Several artifacts from Amerindian prehistory have been found in this area of the Haute-Mauricie where thirty sites of archaeological potential were identified. Several indigenous, usually semi-nomadic communities were passing through this area at different times. Because of the separation between the upper-Métabetchouane River and the upper-Saint-Maurice River, this sector has become an area of transition between the two watersheds. For example, in 1630, Aboriginal communities were passing through this area for which lake Kiskissink was a center of interest.</p><br>
<p>The Métabetchouane River and Bostonnais River served ice road in winter or waterways to end supply. Several indigenous communities living in seminomadism or met in the areas near these two rivers. Barter was widely practiced among communities. Of indigenous wood runners engaged in trade between the various communities.</p><br>
<p>First activities of non-native</p><br>
<p>The first non-indigenous farmers of this area and the first settlers arrived in the late 1800s, mainly due to the arrival of the railway from Montreal and passing by Lac-Édouard. The route of this railway passes on the west side of the northern half of Lake Kiskissink, to serve the hamlets Kiskissink and Van Bruyssels.</p><br>
<p>The arrival of the railway is the main factor in the creation of private hunting and fishing clubs in the area. Several prominent figures, Canadian or American, there were practicing tourist activities</p><br>

<p>The Blue Fox Theatre is a historic cinema located at 116 W. Main St. in Grangeville, Idaho. The Mission Revival theater was built in 1929 and opened on May 2, 1930. The theater took its name from J.H. Dicksons entry into a naming contest; Dickson received $10 and three movie tickets as a reward. In addition to showing films, the theater also hosted live productions during its initial years of operation. The theaters neon-lit marquee was added in 1940. After a fire damaged much of the building&#39;s interior in 1942, the theater closed while its interior was completely reconstructed; it reopened in 1945. The theater continues to show films and is still owned by the Wagner family, which has owned the building since the 1930s.</p><br>
<p>The theater was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 30, 1999.</p><br>
<p>Campbells Ferry was a ferry crossing on the Salmon River, located at Mile 148 of the river in the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness. The ferry was part of the Three Blaze Trail, which connected Grangeville to the Monumental Creek Trail at Thunder Mountain. William Campbell established the trail and ferry in 1898, as well the Campbells Ferry Ranch on the south bank of the river; Campbell was also the ferry&#39;s first operator. Campbell disappeared and was presumed dead in the winter of 1902-03, and the ranch and ferry passed through a succession of owners until Joe and Emma Zaunmiller acquired the property. Emma died in 1938 in a horseback riding accident, and Joe eventually married ranch hand Lydia Frances Coyle. Frances successfully promoted the construction of a bridge to replace the ferry crossing, which was completed in 1956; the couple ceremonially let the ferryboat float away downriver.</p><br>
<p>Campbell&#39;s Ferry was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 8, 2007.</p><br>

<p>The Jurden Henry Elfers Barn and Field is a historic site located on the south bank of John Day Creek.33 mi east of USA Route 95 and north of Lucile, Idaho. The barn and field were the site of a raid by members of the Nez Perce tribe in 1877. White settlers had forced the Nez Perce to live on a reservation at Lapwai, and a group of young men from the tribe sought revenge against the settlers. The men raided several sites along the Salmon River, including the Elfers ranch. During their raid on the ranch, the Nez Perce killed Jurden Henry Elfers, his nephew Henry "Harry" Burn Beckrodge, and hired worker Robert Bland, who were working at the barn and field at the time. The men also stole several horses and a rifle from the property. The raid was one of the main causes of the Nez Perce War, as soldiers at Fort Lapwai responded to the raids by attacking Chief Josephs camp. The barn and field are one of the few surviving sites connected to the events leading to the start of the war.</p><br>
<p>The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 7, 2007.</p><br>
