<p>The Giles J. Gibbs Building, also known as the Sugar Bowl, is a commercial building located at 12 North Clinton Avenue in St. Johns, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Giles J. Gibbs was born in Jefferson County, New York in 1827, the son of David and Hannah Gibbs. His parents died when Gibbs was eight years old, and he worked as a farm hand while growing up. He eventually attended Spring Arbor College and bought a farm in Jackson County, Michigan. He later worked as a drayer, then as a grocer and a representative of a drug firm. In 1857, he arrived in St. Johns and purchased a lot, then built a grocery store. He sold the business, engaged in real estate speculation, and built a home.</p><br>
<p>In 1867, Gibbs constructed this building on Clinton Avenue, and started another grocery store.</p><br>
<p>DeWitt continued in the grocery business until at least 1906. In 1916, the business was purchased by Greek immigrant Nick Pappas. Pappas had arrived in the United States in 1905, and worked at two other candy shops in Michigan to save enough money to buy the Sugar Bowl.</p><br>
<p>Pappas owned and operated the Sugar Bowl until his death in 1947. Nick Pappas&#39;s wife Virginia and son George then operated the Sugar Bowl until it closed in 1970.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Giles J. Gibbs Building is a two-story brick commercial structure with a fieldstone foundation, measuring approximately 21 feet wide by 110 feet long. A single-story addition extends to the rear. On the front, the first story contains a recessed central flanked by large plate-glass windows which are framed by matching cast iron and wooden Corinthian columns. A transom above the storefront contains small square glass tiles. THe second floor contains three double-hung windows with rounded tops.</p><br>
<p>The interior remains set up as a confectionery and soda fountain. The first floor contains retail space in the front with a storage/work area at the rear. The retail space has a stamped metal ceiling and linoleum over wood floor. Along one wall is an elaborate mirrored back-bar manufactured by the Liquid Carbonic Company in the early 1900s, containing mahogany cabinets and stained glass panels. In front of this is a marble soda fountain manufactured by the Knight Soda Fountain Company of Chicago around the same time. A service counter constructed of white glass with a black etched-glass countertop is in front of this. Cast iron stools line the counter. Opposite this is another wooden back-bar with leaded glass doors and two early display cases. The back-bar has an etched black glass countertop matching the service counter. Eight paneled wooden booths sit farther inward from the back-bars.</p><br>
<p>The second floor of the building consists of ten small rooms, and once served as living quarters. The floor is reached by stairs from the front facade, which are shared with the next-door building, and from the rear. The entire second floor has a beaded pine ceiling and wooden floors.</p><br>
<p>The First Congregational Church of Ovid is a religious building in Ovid, Michigan. It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1971 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1871, 22 people began Ovid&#39;s First Congregational Church with minister Reverend William Mulder. The next year, the congregation hired master carpenter George Fox to construct this building at the corner of High and Park Streets. In 1876, a bell was installed in the belfry. In 1899, with a growing congregation, the structure was moved to its current location and enlarged, adding a basement and two porticoes. In 1843, the Congregational and Methodist churches merged, using both buildings until 1972. In 1979, this church became a private residence.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The First Congregational Church of Ovid is a frame Gothic Revival structure, The original section measures 34 ft by 58 ft; later additions increase the size. It has a gable roof and clapboard-covered walls with pilaster strips at the corners. The 75 ft tall, three-stage two-story square tower topped with an octagonal belfry contains unique decorative touches. Gothic elements include tall, narrow arch-top windows and a rose window.</p><br>
<p>The Contoocook Railroad Depot is located in Hopkinton, New Hampshire, United States, in the village of Contoocook. The depot was completed in 1849 as one of the first substantial railroad passenger stations west of Concord on the Concord and Claremont Railroad. The building is one of the best preserved of a small number of gable-roofed railroad stations surviving from the first decade of rail development in New Hampshire. The station exemplifies the pioneering period of rail development in the state.</p><br>
<p>It is one of the earliest and least altered depots of the 1850 period in New Hampshire. Displaying the Greek Revival style, with modifications that proclaim its identity as a new building type, the depot is an important artifact in the history and evolution of railroad architecture in New Hampshire.</p><br>
<h2>Architectural significance</h2><br>
<p>Because the Concord and Claremont Railroad remained a small and under-capitalized short line, with minimal investment, the Contoocook Depot has survived as one of a very small group of comparable structures. Other comparable depots on the Concord and Claremont line, and on its sister Contoocook Valley Railroad, have disappeared. Very similar stations once stood at West Concord and Bradford, but no longer exist. The Contoocook Valley Railroad, built at the same time as the Concord and Claremont by the same builder, Joseph Barnard (and joining the latter just west of the Contoocook Depot), once had nearly identical depots. The destroyed station at Hillsborough Bridge, the original terminus of the Contoocook Valley Railroad, was a virtual twin to the Contoocook Depot. Like the Contoocook and Warner buildings, it measured twenty-four by fifty feet.</p><br>
<h2>Transportation significance</h2><br>
<p>Throughout the period from 1849 to 1960, the Contoocook Depot was the commercial hub of Contoocook Village. The building not only served as the point of arrival and departure for travelers to and from the village, but also offered other forms of communication. The railway mail was delivered here, and for some years the depot served as the Contoocook Post Office. The depot was connected to the remainder of the consolidated Boston and Maine system by the railway telegraph, and also served the public as the local public telegraph office from 1866. The depot was connected to the Western Union system during the early twentieth century. When the first telephone connections were installed in Contoocook Village in 1884, one of two telephone offices was at the depot, with Amos H. Currier as agent.</p><br>
<p>At first, rail connections from Contoocook largely focused on Concord. Travelers going east from Contoocook were able to connect to the Concord Railroad, thereby gaining rail access to Manchester, Nashua, Lowell, and Boston; or to the Northern Railroad, providing access to all towns on the route from Concord to West Lebanon on the Connecticut River and to White River Junction, Vermont; or to the Boston, Concord, and Montreal Railroad, thereby gaining access to Woodsville on the Connecticut River and to Wells River, Vermont.</p><br>
<p>Trains traveling northwesterly on the Concord and Claremont Railroads own tracks were limited at first by the tracks termination in Bradford, which was reached in July 1850. Not until the Newbury Cut was completed in 1871 were trains at last able to travel to Newport and finally, in 1872, to make contact with the Connecticut River at Claremont on the railroad&#39;s own tracks. Similarly, the Contoocook Valley Railroad, which connected with the Concord and Claremont in Contoocook, was initially completed only as far south as Hillsborough Bridge.</p><br>
<p>By 1858, H. F. Waitings Map of Merrimack County showed many manufactories and shops in Contoocookville. Among them were Kimballs carpenter shop, Osgoods carpenter shop, Merrills cooper shop, Joab and David N. Pattersons woolen mill, Burnham and Browns sawmill, grist mill, and shingle mill, a carriage shop, a mackerel kit manufactory, another sawmill, a blacksmith shop, and Abbott&#39;s hot houses. The compact part of the village also included two schoolhouses and the Contoocook Academy. By that time, the railroad depot was accompanied by a freight house, and the map implies that the building later known as the Kirk Building, which stands adjacent to the railroad station, was then owned by the railroad. As noted, the Contoocook Depot was located at the junction of the lines of two initially separate railroad corporations. A summary history of the incorporation and merger of the two lines that met near the depot is given in a description of the Concord and Claremont Railroad in the Thirty- Fifth Annual Report of the Railroad Commissioners of the State of New Hampshire (1879): This road is the outcome of a long series of conflicting and unsuccessful railroad schemes.</p><br>
<p>The depot was the local office for Railway and American Express companies. Standing at the junction of the Concord and Claremont and the Contoocook Valley Railroad lines, the Contoocook Depot also served as the focus of a small but very active rail service center. The Schedule of Property Transferred by the Northern Railroad to the Boston & Lowell Railroad Corporation, Under Lease, In Effect June 1, 1884, shows that the Contoocook rail center then contained the following buildings: the depot, measuring 25 by; a depot "ell," measuring 13 by; a freight house, measuring 34 by; an engine house, measuring 21 by; a water house, measuring 15 by; a woodshed, measuring 30 by; two hand car houses, each measuring 14 by; another hand car house, measuring 12 by; and a rail shop. Nearby stood a covered bridge, supported by trusses of Childs&#39; patent; this bridge was replaced by the existing double Town lattice truss railroad bridge in 1889. See Contoocook Railroad Bridge. All of the structures of the Contoocook rail center, with the exception of the depot, freight house, and bridge, had been removed by 1904. The freight house has since disappeared. The engine house and its connected water house are shown in a surviving photograph that can be dated between 1884 and 1887 by the presence of a Boston and Lowell Railroad locomotive. The locations of the engine house and wood house are shown on a Sanborn Insurance Company map of 1892.</p><br>
<h2>Contoocook Riverway Association</h2><br>
<p>The Contoocook Riverway Association is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization founded in 1999 that owns the railroad depot, train car and property. The organization was founded by an initial board of directors with a President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary and additional board members.</p><br>
<h2>Renovations</h2><br>
<p>During the summer of 2002, an extensive renovation project was undertaken to restore the historic Contoocook Railroad Depot and covered railroad bridge to their 1910 appearances. "When you came to Contoocook, you came on the rail," said Chip Chesley, past President of the Contoocook Riverway Association, the non-profit that handled the project. "This was the village&#39;s front door and it just seemed natural that it should be restored for the public to enjoy."</p><br>
<p>The Contoocook Riverway Association bought the depot from the town of Hopkinton for one silver dollar in 1999. The covered bridge, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, is owned by the State of New Hampshire. The $400,000 restoration project was funded by federal grants administered through the State Department of Transportation and by community donations. The journey took approximately three years. Restoration of the depot building was first - the roof stripped and replaced with wooden shingles that resembled the roof until the 1930s. New exterior siding and paint, followed by the sandblasting and painting of the train signal, or semaphore, brought the building&#39;s look back nearly a century.</p><br>
<p>The depot&#39;s surviving interior details include two ticket windows and most of the original walls and ceilings, still covered with tongue-and-groove paneling common in the late 19th century. Over the years, many original items have been returned to the depot by the community such as the enameled blue "Contoocook" station sign, luggage cart, seating bench, and other irreplaceable items.</p><br>
<p>In 2007, a wooden Pullman Passenger Coach was donated to the Contoocook Riverway Association and placed on rails behind the depot, as if ready to pass through the bridge once again.</p><br>
<h2>Current use</h2><br>
<p>The depot currently serves as a museum and visitor center. It is open weekends and some week days. Second floor renovations taking place in 2013 have included a meeting room, museum displays, historic document archives and an additional bathroom. The building contains an elevator indoors for handicapped access to the second floor.</p><br>
<p>The Cathedral of St. James is an Episcopal cathedral in South Bend, Indiana, United States. It is the seat of the Diocese of Northern Indiana. The cathedral church and the adjoining parish hall were placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>St. James parish was established in 1868 and was the first Episcopalian congregation on the city. The present church building was designed by the architectural firm of Austin & Parker in the Gothic Revival style. It was completed in 1894.</p><br>
<p>Initially, the parish was part of the Diocese of Indiana and became a part of the Diocese of Michigan City when Indiana was split by the 1898 General Convention. Trinity Church in Michigan City was chosen as the diocesan cathedral at the first diocesan convention on April 25, 1899. It served that purpose until November 4, 1917 when it ceased being a cathedral. The name of the diocese was changed to the Diocese of Northern Indiana on May 20, 1919. St. James Church became the diocesan cathedral on January 30, 1957.</p><br>
<p>The Stony Creek Bridge is a bridge located on a private road over Stony Creek in Olive Township, Clinton County, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. It is the last example of a queen post truss bridge extant in Michigan.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Stony Creek Bridge was constructed in 1880 to carry what is now Dewitt Road over Stony Creek. At some point, Dewitt Road was re-aligned and a concrete culvert was constructed to direct the creek under the road. This bridge was turned over to a private owner.</p><br>
<h2>Queen post truss bridge</h2><br>
<p>A queen post bridge has two upright queen posts on either side, each placed about one-third of the way along the span, connected across the top by a beam. (In comparison, each side of a king post bridge has a single king post in the center of the span.) A diagonal brace runs between the top of the queen post and the outer edge. Queen post bridges can span greater distances than single-upright king post bridges.</p><br>
<p>The queen post truss bridge is of ancient origin, and both king post and queen post trusses were constructed from timber from the Middle Ages through early American history, and used for roof trusses and bridges. The technology spread through the United States with the pioneers, and uncounted numbers of timber king- and queen post bridges were constructed throughout Michigan in the 18th and 19th centuries. As the 19th century progressed, the basic engineering form of the bridge remained constant, but the materials used evolved from timber to timber/iron combinations to iron and steel. Iron and steel versions of the bridge were marketed to local governments by bridge fabricators as low-cost durable structures for spanning short distances.</p><br>
<p>However, the span range of queen post trusses was fairly narrow, with king posts being used for shorter spans and the upper limit of a queen post span being not much longer. After the turn of the 20th century, steel beam bridges became more common, and metal Pratt truss bridges superseded the queen post. With no new queen post bridges being built in Michigan, attrition eliminated all but this single example.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Stony Creek Bridge is a wrought iron pin-connected queen post pony truss bridge measuring 40 ft long and 16 ft wide, with a road width of 14 ft. It is a single span sitting on concrete abutments with stone masonry wingwalls. The bridge is constructed using double channels for the upper beam and inclined end posts, and two punched rectangular I-bars for the lower beam and queen posts. A diagonal brace on each side is constructed from a round eyerod with a turnbuckle. The timber decking is supported by I-beams hung from the lower truss beam by U-bolts and support steel stringers.</p><br>
<p>Hampton Cemetery is a historic cemetery in downtown Hampton, Arkansas. The 0.5 acre cemetery is located near the center of town, not far from the Calhoun County Courthouse, and immediately adjacent to the Hampton Church of Christ. The cemetery is said to have been used as a burying ground since the first days of settlement in the area , although the first marked grave is dated 1878. The town decided in 1920 to stop allowing burials other than those already reserved, and the last burial took place in the cemetery in 1969. There are estimated to be 139 burials in the cemetery, although only 103 are marked. Most of the marked graves are dated between 1890 and 1920.</p><br>
<p>Land for the cemetery was deeded to the town by Nathaniel and Roxanna Hunt, the first settlers in the area, in 1848. There is no formal entrance to the cemetery, nor is it fenced in any way. The gravestones are all aligned to face east, and are only arranged in irregular lines; there is no formal landscaping. The gravestones have for the most part only deteriorated due to age, weather, and neglect; there has been little vandalism.</p><br>
<p>The family with the largest number of graves is the Tobin family, with fifteen. Daniel Tobin first surveyed the area in 1847, and the family plots appear to be tended. The largest monument, a stone representation of an obelisk draped in cloth, memorializes Effie Dunn. That family&#39;s plot includes at least three graves of children.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<p>The E. Janssen Building at 422 First Street, Eureka, California, is a two-story Italianate commercial building. It was built in 1875 to be a hardware and general merchandise store. In 1973, it was the first building in Eureka to be placed on the United States National Register of Historic Places, and it was listed as a contributing property of the National Register Old Town Eureka Historical District in 1991. The building has housed an art gallery since 1998.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Janssen's</h3><br>
<p>The building was built in 1875 as a hardware and general merchandise store. The building is two stories; all four sides have brick walls on a brick foundation. The interior construction is wood framing and wooden floors. The exterior has an Italianate cast iron facade featuring six cast iron pilasters capped with simple classic capitals which separate the large glass windows of the storefront. Each half column was cast bearing the words "San Francisco Iron Works 1875." The storefront has four large windows, two on each side of a large double entry door surmounted by a transom light. The front window sills are granite. The rear delivery entrance had a sectioned wooden door with metal shutters and no first floor windows.</p><br>
<p>Five deeply recessed windows are spaced along the second story elevation at the front, but only three at the rear. In 1973, both front and rear windows retained the original cast iron shutters which had been lost from the lower windows by that time. The front facade wall above the windows is decorated with dentil courses and corbels in the brickwork. Above the decorative brickwork is a recessed panel bearing a signboard which reads "E. Janssen Building." Common to other loft-type commercial construction of the time, both floors feature open spaces, divided only by a row of support pillars in the middle of each floor. The interior is minimally decorated but retains its water-operated hydraulic elevator from its historic use as a general store.</p><br>
<p>The first floor front was the display sales area for general merchandise, the first floor rear had groceries and office space. After 14 years in business in this building, Janssen&#39;s moved to 521 Third Street where they continued to sell hardware.</p><br>
<h3>H.H. Buhne's</h3><br>
<p>In 1889, Janssen&#39;s sold the building to Hans Henry Buhne (1822 – October 26, 1894), who was the first to pilot a boat of settlers across Humboldt Bay bar in 1850 as part of the Laura Virginia Company. Buhne had many and varied business interests; he started the first hotel in Eureka, He was also vice president and director of the first bank in Eureka, a major investor in railroads and timberlands, and an active partner in the largest sawmill of the time. He built his first store on First Street in 1864.</p><br>
<p>Outgrowing the first building in just five years, in 1869 Buhne built another building at 423 First Street adjacent to his previous store. The earlier building is gone but the later one survives. Both stores were across the street from Janssen&#39;s at 423 First Street.</p><br>
<p>Besides the stores on First Street, Buhne was in partnership from 1865 to 1868 with L.C. Schmidt and Company although his name did not appear on the business until after Schmidt died in 1868. The partnership sold supplies both in Eureka and Petrolia, where they provisioned the nascent oil industry.</p><br>
<p>Schmidt had been dead 21 years when Buhne attached the Janssen building to his holdings, renamed it Buhnes Big Store, and converted the first floor to a ships chandlery. which the local Humboldt Times newspaper described as Steamboat Gothic.</p><br>
<h3>Humboldt Cultural Center</h3><br>
<p>In 1971, the building was a wholesale plumbing supply. By 1972 the building was vacant. It was later declared a contributing property of the Old Town Eureka Historical District.</p><br>
<h3>First Street Gallery</h3><br>
<p>Since 1998 the Janssen building has been the Humboldt State University&#39;s First Street Gallery which hosts art shows and gallery openings.</p><br>
<p>The Wickahoney Post Office and Stage Station is an abandoned post office and stagecoach station which served the community of Wickahoney, Idaho. The building was built with lava rock and featured a wooden porch and a shingled roof with seven gables. It served as Wickahoneys post office from 1895 to 1911. In addition, the building was a stagecoach stop on the route between Mountain Home, Idaho and Mountain City, Nevada. The route brought supplies to mines in northern Nevada and was considered to be Wickahoneys best chance at economic success. However, a stagecoach route through Elko, Nevada supplanted the route through Wickahoney, and the community eventually faded away. The post office building is now located in a remote desert area; while its isolation helped preserve the building long after the stagecoach route ended, it has lost its roof and porch.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 27, 1982.</p><br>
<p>Our Lady, Queen of Heaven Church is a Roman Catholic church in Oreana, Idaho. The church was built c. 1883 and originally served as Oreana&#39;s general store.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>When the building was constructed, it was part of a corner which included Oreanas saloon, hotel, and school; the general store building is the only surviving structure from this set. The lava rock building features a false front and a wooden cornice atop its parapet roofline. In addition to serving as a general store, the building also house Oreanas first post office, which opened in 1885. In 1961, the building was renovated to become a Catholic church; the renovation project added a number of Gothic features but left the building&#39;s overall design intact.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 28, 1980.</p><br>
<p>Fort Barrington, briefly renamed Fort Howe after its capture, was a mid-18th-century frontier fort. It was used and garrisoned for several conflicts, including between the British, Spanish, and Native Americans; during the American Revolution; and during the American Civil War. In the years following, much of the original site has been destroyed by river action. Despite this, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 27, 1972, and is currently held as part of a hunting and fishing club. No archaeological work other than ground reconnaissance has been done.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The fort was built in 1751 by British troops under the command of Lieutenant Robert Baillie; its name was chosen in honor of Josiah Barrington, a friend of the lieutenant and relative of James Oglethorpe. It was first stationed by a detachment of the First Troop of British Rangers as one of their defenses against Spanish Florida and Indian raids.</p><br>
<p>It was later used during the American Revolutionary War as the military headquarters for the American southern theater of operations; it was during this period that it was called Fort Howe. However, it was captured and burned by British forces on March 13, 1778, when Colonel Thomas Brown led his Loyalist company of the Kings Rangers in an attack on the fort and took 23 Patriots prisoner. The forts site was occupied by Confederate forces during the American Civil War.</p><br>
<p>For over two centuries the site of Fort Barrington was a vital transportation and communication center of major military and political significance. The ferry was used until the early twentieth century, due to the fact that any overland coastal traffic which sought to avoid crossing the four major rivers and swamps of the Altamaha River delta would have to pass just below the site of the fort.</p><br>
<p>The fort was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 27, 1972. Today, one can enter the area where the fort once stood down Fort Barrington Road and see a clubhouse, some small structures, moss-draped trees, a sandy beach, and a wooden dock. A historical marker for the site is located on Georgia State Route 57 at the Long County-McIntosh County line. Some evidence of the old fort survives: sand breastworks and two bastions can be made out on the left of the sandy road leading to the hunting and fishing club that now occupies the area.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The fort was built on the north side of the Altamaha River about 12 miles (19 km) northwest of present-day Darien, Georgia. Its remains are a series of low ridges or embankments at the tip of a narrow peninsula in this location. The "sand hills" of Barrington, as they were called after 1750, had been a major Native American trail for centuries and provided the primary coastal route from Savannah to St. Augustine.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>Colonial records state that in 1762, the site was occupied by "a square fort about 75 feet each way with a caponier in it and barracks." It was a stockaded structure with a large central blockhouse, a well, a storeroom, a magazine, and barracks. The fort had bastions at the eastern and southern corners, the latter being at the river&#39;s edge, and ramparts in the form of a low ridge or embankment extending in a straight line for roughly 150 yards between bastions.</p><br>
<p>Willow Springs Lake is a cold water lake located on top of the Mogollon Rim in northern Arizona, about 23 mi east of the city of Payson in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest, immediately adjacent to SR 260. It is a canyon-bound lake located on the Mogollon Rim, and is part of the collectivity known as the Rim Lakes. It can be found upstream from Chevelon Canyon Lake. The facilities are maintained by Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest division of the USDA Forest Service.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>In 1967, The Arizona Game and Fish Department created Willow Springs Lake in order to provide water based recreational opportunities for the public. Willow Springs Lake is small and moderately deep with an average depth of 60 ft and a surface area of 158 acre. Boat motors are restricted to electric or 10 hp or less gas motors. From May through September the lake is regularly stocked with rainbow trout. According to the AZ Game and Fish Department, "Willow Springs Lake is one of the most visited lakes in the region, due in part to its proximity to the Phoenix area and cool temperatures".</p><br>
<p>The lake is well developed, having 26 maintained campsites at Sinkhole Campground, barrier-free toilets, two picnic ramadas, two boat benches, and paved boat ramp access located on the west side of the lake at the main access point.</p><br>
<p>Willow Springs Lake has no permanent inflow, but receives enough snow melt every year to keep the lake full. The Arizona Game and Fish Department holds sole water rights to the lake. Unless spill-off occurs during the spring, no water is released downstream for irrigation or other uses. Most of the year, no spill occurs. When spill occurs, it drains down Willow Springs Canyon for 3.4 miles and merges with Woods Canyon to form Chevelon Creek. Chevelon Creek has seasonal water flow for 12.2 miles down to Chevelon Canyon Lake.</p><br>
<h2>Fish species</h2><br>
<p>Rainbow Trout</p><br>
<p>Largemouth Bass</p><br>
<p>Smallmouth Bass</p><br>
<p>Green Sunfish</p><br>
<p>Brown Trout</p><br>

<p>Mount Bental  is a dormant volcano in the North-Eastern part of the Golan Heights, It extends to an elevation of 1,171 Meters above sea level.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>The mountain is a part of a chain of dormant volcanic mountains spanning along the eastern part of the Golan Heights starting from Mount Ram in the north and ending on Tal Saki in the south, it is the northern neighbor of Mount Avital which shares the same volcanic magma source with it. Mount Bental was formed in a volcanic eruption which formed a scoria volcanic cone, the magma which tried to erupt from Mount Avital&#39;s top could not do so and the pressure lead to an eruption of the western side of Mount Avital and of Mount Bental.</p><br>
<h2>The Mountain</h2><br>
<p>Mount Bental is covered with Quercus calliprinos trees and on its top there is an IDF stronghold which was built on an older Syrian stronghold which is an attraction point for visitors. The mountain top has a good view of the Syrian lands, Mount Hermon and the Golan Heights.</p><br>
<p>Merom Golan is located at the bottom of the volcanic crater.</p><br>
<p>Elaine Bay is a bay located in Pelorus Sound, within the Marlborough Sounds at the north end of the South Island of New Zealand. Elaine Bay is in the Tawhitinui Reach , which includes other bays such as Tennyson Inlet, Fitzroy Bay and Hallum Cove.</p><br>
<p>The bay is accessed by the Elaine Bay Road, which connects with the Croisilles-French Pass Road at the top of the ridge.</p><br>
<h2>Attractions</h2><br>
<p>There is a Department of Conservation Campsite situated right on the water&#39;s edge.</p><br>
<p>The beach in Elaine Bay is mostly rocky, with some small patches of gravel. Despite this, it is popular for swimming, as it has multiple wharfs and a swimming platform. All of these structures are maintained by Elaine Bay Aquaculture. There are also a couple of walking tracks: the Piwakawaka Track, which is an easy hour and a half return, and goes around to the next bay which has a golden beach that is perfect for picnicking and swimming; and the Archer Track, which is 4 hrs return, and connects Elaine Bay to Penzance Bay via a wide, well-used track which provides great views of spectacular scenery. There are also sea kayaks available for hire within the bay.</p><br>
<p>Elaine Bay is fed by a number of streams, and this creates a very rich ecosystem. Schools of fish such as herrings, kahawai and mackerel are found in great numbers. There are also a large number of birds including cormorants (known as shags) and weka.</p><br>
<p>This diversity of wildlife, typical of the Marlborough Sounds, provides a rich fishing environment.</p><br>
<p>There is also a boat ramp, moorings and small dock, which provide easy access to boating opportunities.</p><br>
<h2>Industry</h2><br>
<p>Elaine Bay hosts a small fishing and aquaculture port. Many smaller fishing vessels and large mussel boats regularly dock at the port. The main product is green lipped mussels, for which Pelorus Sound and its main port Havelock are famous. Many of the surrounding bays contain mussel farms, which are a large employer for the region.</p><br>
<p>There is also a small forestry industry in Elaine Bay. Since the 1970s areas of Pelorus have a planted in exotic pine forest for timber. The Archer Track goes through some of this logging forest.</p><br>
<h2>Access</h2><br>
<p>The bay is accessed by the Elaine Bay Road, which is off Croisilles-French Pass Road. This road connects to State Highway 6, and the turn off is just north of Rai Valley. The road is paved all the way through to Elaine Bay, because of the trucks regularly accessing the Port.</p><br>
<h2>Settlement</h2><br>
<p>Apart from a few permanent residents, the settlement at Elaine Bay consists mostly of baches, small holiday homes.</p><br>

<p>The Hagood-Mauldin House is a property listed on the National Register of Historic Places located in Pickens, South Carolina. The house was originally constructed for James Earle Hagood ca.1856 in the town of Old Pickens but in 1868 when the Pickens District was divided into Oconee County and Pickens County, the house was disassembled, boards and beams numbered, and reassembled at its present location in the town of Pickens.</p><br>
<p>The original house was constructed with log beams and joists pegged together. The exterior was sided with slat boards and the roof was constructed with cedar wood shingles on open wood slats. The first addition to the house was made shortly after it was moved in 1868, when a dining room connected to the rear kitchen house, separated by a breezeway, was constructed. A second addition in 1886 expanded the front parlor and rear dining room and also created a covered side entry porch, a bathroom on the north side of the house and added new fireplaces serve the new rooms. A third addition was made in 1904 which expanded the front porch to include a covered driveway as well as enhancing the interior living spaces with Victorian trimwork and drywall. A wood parapet was added to the porch and the fluted Ionic columns were added, creating the Classical Revival style of the house that still remains.</p><br>

<p>Parkway Village is a garden apartment complex with 675 residential units, located on 35 acre in the Briarwood section of Queens in New York City. It was completed in 1947 to house United Nations employees and delegates, many of whom had faced racial discrimination when they sought housing in other areas.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>When the United Nations began operations in and around New York City in 1946, people from all over the world came to the area to work for the fledgling international organization, including many persons of color. Almost all real estate in the area was racially segregated, and this along with a national housing shortage made housing options for non-white people particularly limited. In fact, in an attempt to surmount this shortage, the UN had contracted for housing in Fresh Meadows and Peter Cooper Village, both new apartment complexes owned by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, but these contracts still allowed the company to deny housing to prospective residents on the basis of race. Although it had not articulated a discriminatory policy, in fact both complexes&#39; residents were exclusively white at the time (and for decades thereafter). Many UN employees protested this situation, and the UN backed out of its contracts with the complexes. Still needing housing for its employees, the organization then signed a lease with Parkway Village, which was under construction at the time.</p><br>
<p>As the initial lessee of most of the apartments, the UN could allocate housing to its employees without regard to race or origin. This made Parkway Village an unusually integrated community for its time. The location was convenient to the UNs temporary headquarters at the site of the 1939 Worlds Fair, where many thought the organization would build its permanent headquarters, although this was completed in 1952 in Manhattan. Though the UN&#39;s involvement in the property ended in 1952, many of its employees continued to live there, and they comprised about a quarter of all residents three decades later.</p><br>
<p>Ralph Bunche, an African American diplomat who was instrumental in the UNs formation, and who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1950, lived at Parkway Village from 1947 to 1952. Bunche was one of the employees who protested the UNs initial involvement with segregated apartment complexes. After leaving Parkway Village, Bunche moved to a private house nearby that is a National Historic Site. Around this time, two prominent residents without UN connections were attracted to the community by its unique international character: civil rights leader Roy Wilkins and labor (and later feminist) activist Betty Friedan both lived at Parkway Village in the early 1950s.</p><br>
<h2>Description and Architects</h2><br>
<p>The complex consists of 109 buildings, which together take up only 16% of the land area, surrounded by landscaped grounds. Each are each two or three stories tall and are faced with red brick. Their style is described as neo-Georgian or "modernized Colonial". The architect was Leonard Schultze, who in prior decades was known for designing luxury hotels (notably the Waldorf-Astoria), but who in the 1940s had turned his attention to large middle-income apartment complexes for the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, including Parkmerced in San Francisco, Park La Brea in Los Angeles, and Parkfairfax in Alexandria, Virginia.</p><br>
<p>The landscape designer was Clarence Combs (1892-1958), who had previously worked on many other projects associated with Robert Moses, including the well-known Jones Beach State Park. Moses, a politically powerful parks commissioner and the driving force behind the construction of Parkway Village, had helped to arrange the project&#39;s financing and lease with the UN. He likely recommended Combs for the landscaping role.</p><br>
<p>Owing to both its architectural significance and its historical associations, the complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.</p><br>
<p>Chattahoochee County Jail is a historic jail in Cusseta, Georgia. It was constructed in 1902 and opened in 1911. The jail replaced a two-story log jail built in 1855.

Olive Street and Boyd Street.</p><br>
<p>It has been described as having features (brick construction, compact massing, simple detailing, and allusions to medieval architectural styles) that are characteristic of the many county jails built at the turn of the 20th century in Georgia. The two-story brick jail was built for $5,000 by the Pauly Jail and Manufacturing Company of St. Louis, Missouri.</p><br>
<p>It was being restored by the Chattahoochee County Historic Preservation Society.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed to be "a good example of a building built to be a county jail in a small county seat."</p><br>
<p>Stewart-Lee House, also known as the Norman Stewart House, is a historic home located in Richmond, Virginia. It was built in 1844, and is a three-story, three bay, Greek Revival style brick townhouse. It has a low hipped roof is pierced by four interior end chimneys and surrounded by a simple molded cornice with a plain frieze. In 1864, Robert E. Lee&#39;s wife and daughter occupied the house after the confiscation of "Arlington." On April 15, 1865 General Lee retired to the home following the surrender at Appomattox. He resided there only until June 1865, due to the "result of constant callers." In 1893, the building was given to the Virginia Historical Society "for the use and occupation of the Virginia Historical Society as a library and assembly rooms&quot they occupied it until 1959. The house was conveyed to the Confederate Memorial Literary Society in 1961.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<p>Randolph School is a historic school in Richmond, Virginia. The oldest part was constructed in 1896, with additions made in 1900, 1934, and 1952.

<p>The Bruton Dovecote is a limestone tower that was built between the 15th and 17th century in Bruton in the English county of Somerset. The structure was once used as a dovecote, and may have been a watchtower or prospect tower prior to this. It is a Grade II* listed building</p><br>
<p>It has been associated with Bruton Abbey and the Berkley family who owned the estate after the dissolution. It is known that the conversion to house pigeons and doves took place around 1780. It was acquired by the National Trust in 1915 and they have managed the site since then undertaking restoration work.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Though the Bruton Dovecote&#39;s date of construction is not known precisely, the structure was built some time between the 15th and 17th century. Dendrochronological dating commissioned by the National Trust found that timber in the door and window frames came from trees felled between 1554 and 1586.</p><br>
<p>The conversion to be a dovecote took place around 1780. Pigeons and doves were an important food source historically kept for their eggs, flesh, and dung. Although it is now a roofless ruin with some of the windows blocked up, it previously had a chimney and the fireplace can still be seen. The National Trust acquired the freehold from Sir Henry Hugh Arthur Hoare of the Hoare baronets, whose family seat was at Stourhead, in 1915. The tower was subsequently designated as a scheduled monument in 1953 and a listed building (Grade II*) in 1961.</p><br>
<p>In the 1980s the dovecote was inspected as part of an investigation into an outbreak of psittacosis (also known as parrot disease or parrot fever), a zoonotic infectious disease caused by the bacterium Chlamydophila psittaci, at the adjoining King&#39;s School. No cause was found for the infection. In 2010 restoration work was undertaken including repairs to the tops of the walls; these are exposed as the building no longer has a roof. Wall ties were used on the south west corner where the masonry was bulging. In addition, car parking and educational signage was provided. This was partially funded by South Somerset council, Bruton Town Council and the Heritage Lottery Fund to a total of £105,000.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The dovecote stands on Lusty Hill to the south of Bruton overlooking the town. It is approximately 370 m south of the Church of St Mary, and 230 m south of King&#39;s School. It is on the Leland Trail.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The square tower was built of local coursed oolitic limestone with Doulting stone dressings. The walls are 2 ft thick at the base, and the tower is 6 sqm in plan. The doorway has an ovolo moulded arch which is 5 ft high. This suggests a construction date in the late 16th or early 17th century. Another entrance was made for cattle to enter at a later date but this has been blocked up. Several of the windows have also been filled with stone. On the north-east face there were two-light chamfered mullioned windows on each floor while on the north-west wall they were one- and two-light windows.</p><br>
<p>It has over 200 pigeon holes, which were installed after the original construction, possibly before 1780. Six tiers of nest boxes remain; however there were previously several more, possibly as many as 850. They are made of regular blocks of</p><br>
<p>tufa each around 8 in square and 16 in deep.</p><br>
<p>Columbia, also known as the Philip Haxall House, is a historic home located in Richmond, Virginia. It was built in 1817–1818, and is a two-story, three bay Federal style brick dwelling on a high basement. The entrance features an elliptical fanlight opening sheltered by a one-story Doric porch. It was added when the entrance was moved from the Lombardy Street side to the Grace Street side in 1924, when the building was expanded to house the T.C. Williams School of Law of the University of Richmond. It housed the School of Law from 1917 to 1954. After 1834, the house was the main academic building of Richmond College, which grew to become the present University of Richmond.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Old Mill is a historic windmill located at 50 Prospect Street in Nantucket, Massachusetts. Built in 1746, it is the oldest functioning mill in the United States. The mill is owned and operated by the Nantucket Historical Association as a museum. It is a contributing property of the Nantucket Historic District. In 1992, it was also designated as a Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Old Mill is the only survivor of four windmills that were once located along the range of hills on the west side of Nantucket Island. It is a smock type windmill built in 1746 by Nathan Wilbur, a local sailor who had spent time in Holland. Wilbur used oaken beams that had washed ashore from wrecked ships for much of the mill&#39;s framework, which is held together by wooden pins and scrap metal.</p><br>
<p>In 1828, the Old Mill was sold to Jared Gardner for twenty dollars. By then it was in deplorable condition. However, instead of dismantling it, Gardner, a carpenter, restored the mill to working condition capable of grinding corn. The mill was sold once again in 1866 to John Francis Sylvia, who operated it for many years with his assistant Peter Hoy until it fell into disuse in 1892. In 1897 Caroline French purchased the mill at an auction for $850 and donated it to the Nantucket Historical Association.</p><br>
<p>The Old Mill is 50 feet high, with four vanes 30 feet in length. The interior mechanism has a driving wheel at the top, connected to the blades. It has a fixed body containing machinery and a cap that turns to face the sails into the wind. Projecting from the driving wheel are wooden cogs that intersect with another set of wooden teeth in a vertical shaft, which in turn revolves the upper grindstone. A crude brake consisting of heavy oak beam attached by a rope and pulley to a box of stone weighing several hundred pounds was built to counteract the force of the wind. The box of stone can be raised or lowered to press the beam against the windmill shaft.</p><br>
<p>Inside, seasonal visitors can watch the gears as corn is ground into meal, producing about 5 bushels an hour. Documentation of the restoration of the windmill is located at the Nantucket Historical Association&#39;s Research Center.</p><br>
<p>The Thomson Road–Air Line Railroad Bridge, also known as just the Thomson Road Bridge, is a bridge located on Thomson Road over the abandoned Michigan Air Line Railroad right-of-way in Howard Township, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. It is one of the oldest examples of a concrete T-beam bridge in Michigan, and has a rare brick deck.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The main line of the Michigan Central Railroad, located about.5 mile west of this site, was constructed through Cass County in 1848. Just after the Civil War, a new rail line known as the Michigan Air Line Railroad was constructed, linking Jackson with the Michigan Central line at Niles; two years later, the route was controlled by the Michigan Central. In 1919, a cutoff was constructed through Howard Township, linking the main Michigan Central line to the Airline. This bridge was constructed at the same time, probably from a design developed by the railroad company.</p><br>
<p>The railroad beneath the bridge has been abandoned for many years and is overgrown.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Thomson Road–Air Line Railroad Bridge is one of the oldest examples of a concrete T-beam bridge in Michigan, and the only historically significant bridge of the type having multiple spans. which has a slight arch. The original bridge railings are metal pipe panels strung between concrete posts. The bridge has maintained an excellent integrity.</p><br>

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 1, 1988. It is located at 5239 Floyd Road.</p><br>
<p>Valley View is a mid-19th-century Greek Revival residence and farm overlooking the South Branch Potomac River northwest of Romney, West Virginia. Valley View is located atop a promontory where Depot Valley joins the South Branch Potomac River valley. The house at Valley View was listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its locally significant architecture in 2012.</p><br>
<p>The Valley View property was part of the South Branch Survey of the Northern Neck Proprietary, a large tract that was inherited by Thomas Fairfax, 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron in 1719. It was settled by John Collins and his family in 1749, and acquired by the Parsons family before 1772. The Valley View house was built by James Parsons Jr. in 1855. After the Civil War, Parsons widow sold the farm to Charles Harmison. His wife Elizabeth Smith Harmison, inspired by her childhood Virginia home Western View and the scenic South Branch Potomac River views, named the farm Valley View. Following a series of owners, the property was purchased by the Mayhew family in 1979. Valley Views current proprietors, Robert and Kim Mayhew, have restored the historic residence and grounds.</p><br>
<p>The house at Valley View is a two-story brick Greek Revival-style structure with a rectangular architectural plan. The front entrance is covered by a small portico, topped with a pediment supported by wooden Doric columns. The rear of the house, with a two-story wood porch stretching across it, faces the South Branch Potomac River valley and Mill Creek Mountain. Each of the original eight large rooms of the 1855 structure contains a fireplace framed by a wooden trabeated mantelpiece with classical elements. The original windows, wooden trim, and materials in the main section of the house are intact.</p><br>
<h2>Geography and setting</h2><br>
<p>The Valley View house is about 1 mi northwest of downtown Romney, atop a promontory (known locally as the Yellow Banks) where Depot Valley joins the South Branch Potomac River valley. Depot Valley runs 0.5 mi from West Sioux Lane in Romney to Valley View, and an unnamed tributary of Big Run flows north along its bottom. Depot Valley Road parallels the stream.</p><br>
<p>Depot Valley is named for Romney Depot, located at the end of a former spur of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B&O) South Branch line near the intersection of present-day West Sioux Lane and Depot Valley Road. A post office operated there from 1928 until 1937, when its mail was routed through Romney; it is assumed that Valley View farm used it, since it was 0.5 mi south of the house.</p><br>
<p>The Valley View farm property adjoins the Wappocomo farm on the northeast, the corporate limits of Romney on the east and south and the Yellow Banks on the west. In addition to Valley View&#39;s 6.63 acre tract, the Mayhew family owns agricultural land rich in alluvial soils along the South Branch Potomac River west of the house. The South Branch Valley Railroad bisects this farmland, crossing the South Branch Potomac River via a wooden trestle.</p><br>
<p>The Mayhew family, which owns Valley View, also owns Valley View Island, an island in the South Branch Potomac River north of the mouth of Sulphur Spring Run and about 0.5 mi southwest of Valley View. The island is ringed by forests, with agricultural fields in its center. When Lots Number17 and19 of the Northern Neck Proprietary South Branch Survey were surveyed in 1749 and resurveyed in 1788, the island belonged to Lot Number19. At that time, the river flowed east of the island, along the base of the Yellow Banks; its course later changed to run around the west side of the island.</p><br>
<p>Mill Creek Mountain, a narrow anticlinal mountain ridge, rises westward from the South Branch Potomac River across from Valley View. The western foothills of South Branch Mountain rise to the east. Both mountains are covered with Appalachian – Blue Ridge forests of hardwoods and pine.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Royal land grant and Collins family ownership</h3><br>
<p>The land upon which Valley View is located was originally part of the Northern Neck Proprietary, a land grant that the exiled Charles II awarded to seven of his supporters in 1649 during the English Interregnum. Following the Restoration of Charles II to the throne in 1660, he renewed the Northern Neck Proprietary grant in 1662, revised it in 1669, and again renewed the original grant favoring the original grantees Thomas Colepeper, 2nd Baron Colepeper and Henry Bennet, 1st Earl of Arlington in 1672. In 1681, Bennet sold his share to Lord Colepeper, and Lord Colepeper received a new charter for the entire land grant from James II in 1688.</p><br>
<p>Following the deaths of Lord Colepeper, his wife Margaret, and his daughter Katherine, the Northern Neck Proprietary passed to Katherine&#39;s son Thomas Fairfax, 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron in 1719, and Lord Fairfax selected a portion of it for his manor. This tract, known as the South Branch Survey of the proprietary, extended from the north end of the Trough to the junction of the North and South Branches of the Potomac River. In 1748, Fairfax commissioned James Genn to survey the South Branch Potomac River lowlands for sale and lease, with lots ranging in size from 300 to 400 acre.</p><br>
<p>In 1749, the tract on which Valley View stands was purchased from Lord Fairfax by John Collins. The 425 acre lot was Lot Number20 on the South Branch Survey. His son Thomas Collins is thought to have inherited his fathers landholdings as an "heir at law", since there is no record of a will by John Collins dispensing of his properties. One representative from each of Virginias 25 counties traveled to Romney to cast his vote. Collins and county commissioner William Donaldson certified the convention&#39;s election results.</p><br>
<p>In 1817, Thomas Collins sold Lot Number20 to James Gregg Parsons. It is unknown whether the Collinses moved from the tract or continued living on it after the sale. Thomas Collins died in 1822, and Elizabeth Collins in 1823.</p><br>
<h3>Parsons family ownership</h3><br>
<p>The Parsons family members were among the first English settlers in the Thirteen Colonies in 1635; around 1740, they settled in Hampshire County. James Gregg Parsons, his eldest son, was born in Hampshire County in 1773. In 1795, he married Mary Catherine Casey (1773–1846), whose family owned the adjoining Lot Number 21. After their marriage, they lived in the main house at Wappocomo, which had been built by Mary Catherines father Nicholas Casey. The couple inherited the house after Nicholas Caseys death in 1833.</p><br>
<p>James Gregg Parsons died on January 25, 1847, leaving most of his land to his three sons: James (Big Jim) Parsons Jr. (1798–1858), David C. Parsons (1803–1860), and Isaac Parsons (1814–1862). James, his eldest son, inherited Lot Number20 (known as the Collins Tract); and his youngest son Isaac inherited Lot Number21 (which included Wappocomo). His sons also inherited the nearby "Jake Sugar Rum Tract, the McGuire Tract, and five town lots in Romney". According to historian William K. Rice, by 1846 Parsons&#39; sons and their families were all living on the tracts they would eventually inherit. Rice determined that James Parsons Jr. moved to the Collins Tract, around 1826, and was living there when his father died.</p><br>
<p>James Parsons Jr. was a farmer and cattleman who was born in Hampshire County. Parsons family genealogist Virginia Parsons MacCabe wrote the following description of James Parsons Jr. in her book Parsons&#39; Family History and Record (1913): "He was square and honorable in business, and had a large circle of friends; he had the urbanity and the gentility of manner which characterizes the true gentleman". Parsons married Elizabeth Miller on January 8, 1829. The couple had eleven children, several of whom attended college.</p><br>
<p>In 1855, Parsons began building the present-day Valley View house on the Collins Tract. Although he wrote many letters to his sister Mary Gregg Parsons Stump about farming, cattle, family, health and community events, no letters are known to remain from the time of the house&#39;s construction. The Parsons family owned several slaves who are thought to have assisted with construction.</p><br>
<p>After living in his new house for three years, Big Jim died of tuberculosis on October 14, 1858. His widow, Elizabeth, lived in the house until after the Civil War. In 1867 or 1869, she sold the house, the Collins Tract and the remainder of Lot Number20 to Charles Harmison (1823–1896) for $8,500, moving with her remaining children to Missouri (where she died in 1883). The cost of building the house financially strained the Parsons family; historian Catherine Snider Long suggests that Elizabeth Miller Parsons sold the house as a result of additional, war-related financial stress from which the family could not recover.</p><br>
<h3>Harmison family ownership</h3><br>
<p>Charles Harmison was born in Franklin County, Illinois, to Nathaniel and Lydia Harmison, and married Bettie Ann Smith (1827–1903) on May 4, 1854, in Taylor County, West Virginia. Bettie, the daughter of C.C. and Martha W. Smith, By 1867, Harmison and his family were living in Harrison County.</p><br>
<p>Charles Harmisons older brother had moved to Romney, where he established and operated the Virginia House hotel. In 1867, Charles Harmisons brother learned that the Parsons farm on the Collins Tract was for sale, and he advised Charles to buy it. Charles&#39; wife, who wanted to live nearer to Virginia, also urged Charles to buy the property. Charles purchased the farm and he, his wife, their seven children, and a young African American boy named Snoden moved from Harrison County to Hampshire County in three days. They traveled on the Northwestern Turnpike in an ambulance Charles had bought after the war. Elizabeth Harmison named their new house and farm Valley View, which was influenced by the name of her childhood home (Western View) and the view of the South Branch Potomac River valley from their property.</p><br>
<p>Harmison prospered in Hampshire County, acquiring adjacent properties and enlarging his Valley View estate. He later gave his acquired lands to his children to establish their own homes when they married. The South Branch line bisected the small valley to the immediate east of the house, which became known as Depot Valley.</p><br>
<p>Charles Harmison died on October 31, 1896. His son George Edward Harmison (1863–1916) inherited Valley View around 1903 and brought his wife Carrie Belle Fox (1870–1953) there after their marriage on October 4, 1905. George demolished the old log kitchen at Valley View, replacing it with a contemporary kitchen.</p><br>
<p>In June 1909, construction commenced on the Hampshire Southern Railroad between its northern terminus on the B&O Railroads Romney Depot spur and the South Branch Potomac River within the bottomlands of George Harmisons farm. In October 1909, the first train on the Hampshire Southern line passed over Harmisons bottomlands and crossed the river on an unfinished trestle across the South Branch Potomac River. By 1910, the 18 mi line from the Romney spur terminus at Valley View to McNeill was in operation. The Hampshire Southern Railroad Company operated this line until 1911, when it was purchased by the Moorefield and Virginia Railroad Company. Moorefield and Virginia transferred the rail line to the B&O Railroad Company in 1913, when it became part of the B&Os South Branch line.</p><br>
<p>In 1911, George Harmison subdivided the Valley View fields on the Yellow Banks overlooking the South Branch Potomac River. The new development, known as the Valley View Addition to Romney, was south of the Valley View house and west of Romney Depot. Twenty-one lots were sold at public auction on September 27, 1911, and several more were sold privately.</p><br>
<p>Harmison died in 1916, and Carrie continued to live at Valley View until her death on February 8, 1953. Harmisons nephew, Paul Cresap Harmison (1893–1972, a grandson of Charles Harmisons brother Jonathan Harmison), and his wife Nancy Parker Harmison (1896–1981) had moved to Valley View to live with her. After Carrie&#39;s death, Paul and Nancy Parker Harmison inherited the house and farm. Valley View remained in the Harmison family until 1963, when it was sold to Philip Newell and his wife Martha.</p><br>
<h3>Mayhew family ownership</h3><br>
<p>During its changes in ownership, the original Lot Number 20 of the South Branch Survey was repeatedly partitioned and sold. By 1976, the original property was divided into five farms and additional parcels, including the Valley View Addition. The tract on which the Valley View residence is located currently measures 6.63 acre.</p><br>
<p>Valley View was purchased by Robert Mayhew&#39;s father and a business associate in 1979. In 1991, the Potomac Eagle Scenic Railroad began operating on the old B&O South Branch line, which bisects the bottomlands below Valley View.</p><br>
<p>After surveys of historic properties in the county, in 2008 the Hampshire County Historic Landmarks Commission and the Hampshire County Commission began an initiative to place structures and districts on the National Register of Historic Places. The county received funding from the State Historic Preservation Office of the West Virginia Division of Culture and History to survey and document its architecture and history.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The house at Valley View is significant for its Greek Revival architecture.</p><br>
<p>Valley View&#39;s house consists of the original 1855 brick section and a board-and-batten 1961–1962 kitchen addition.</p><br>
<p>The bricks from which the house was built were fired in the immediate vicinity (along the banks of the South Branch Potomac River), and the brick walls were reinforced with hand-wrought structural iron angles. The nails used in its construction were fabricated by a local blacksmith, and the wooden sills and joists were sawn by hand.</p><br>
<h3>Exterior</h3><br>
<p>Valley View&#39;s house is a two-story brick structure with a rectangular architectural plan and exterior dimensions measuring about 49 by. The house is topped with a steep metal gabled roof with standing seam profiles. Two sets of double inside chimneys extend above the steep roofline on the northwestern and southeastern ends.</p><br>
<p>The front façade of the house faces a hill to the southwest. It is five bays wide, with the front entrance at the first floors center bay. Wide double-hung sash windows are uniformly placed on the houses front façade, with four nine-over-six double-hung wooden sashes on the first story and five six-over-six double-hung wooden sashes on the second. Each window is surrounded by green-painted wooden shutters and white-painted wooden lintels and sills.</p><br>
<p>The front entrance is covered by a small Greek Revival portico measuring about 12 by, topped with a pediment supported by wooden Doric columns and engaged columns at the wall. The front porch is flanked by modest wooden handrails and balusters on its left and right sides.</p><br>
<p>The rear façade of the house faces northeast, across the South Branch Potomac River valley toward Mill Creek Mountain. A two-story (double) wooden porch about 9 ft deep extends across the rear of the house, topped by a shed roof extending from the main gabled roof at a shallower pitch. The first-story porch supports are brown wooden turned posts with no handrail or balusters, and the porch&#39;s second story has white painted square wood posts and vertical railings. Like the front façade, the rear façade is five bays wide; access to the double porch is through a door in the central bay on both levels. The other four bays have nine-over-six double-hung wooden sash windows on the first story and six-over-six double-hung wooden sash windows on the second story. The northwestern and southeastern sides of the house have one small square window at attic level, between each pair of inside chimneys.</p><br>
<h3>Interior</h3><br>
<p>The interior of the Valley View house has a two-room-deep, central-hallway floor plan. Its wide central hallway contains a staircase from the first floor to the attic, with a wooden handrail supported with square balusters and a modest wooden turned newel post. The ceilings are 10 ft high. Although the house&#39;s foundation is low, the height of the interior walls and the full-sized attic make it appear tall from the outside.</p><br>
<p>The original house has eight large rooms, each with a fireplace framed by a wooden geometric trabeated mantelpiece with classical elements. The four large rooms on the first floor open from either side of the center hallway. They contain simple wide wood trim, including skirting boards and door frame moldings with "subtly demarcated corners". The house&#39;s living and dining rooms have wide, wooden dado rails. Most of the wooden decorative trim is painted white, and the walls are plaster. The lone exception is the room serving as an office and den, which has dark stained wooden trim and interior brick structural walls (exposed by the removal of its plaster during the 1960s). All rooms have the original wide plank wooden floors. The second floor has four bedrooms, with closets on either side of a fireplace and simple wood skirting boards and door frames. Parsons family members painted signatures and graffiti in the attic around 1856, which remain visible on the stairwell wall.</p><br>
<h3>Kitchen addition</h3><br>
<p>A one-story kitchen addition, built in 1961–1962 and measuring about 21 by, extends from the northwest side of the original 1855 house. The addition has a gabled standing seam metal roof, and its exterior is covered in white-painted board-and-batten siding. It has a vinyl bay window on the southwest side, a one-over-one double-hung vinyl window on the northeast side and a door (adjoining the wall of the 1855 house) on the southeast side. An enclosed board-and-batten porch, measuring about 14 by, and a shed roof extend from the front (southwest) of the kitchen addition. The original basement under the 1855 house is accessible through this porch extension. A ghost building outline on the northwest side of the 1855 house indicates an earlier structure where the present kitchen addition stands.</p><br>
<h3>Ancillary structures</h3><br>
<p>There are several ancillary structures near the house at Valley View, including a smokehouse and a water well, and the foundations of an ice house and a summer kitchen. Although the smokehouse, the summer kitchen and the ice house are believed to have been built by the Collinses before Big Jim Parsons built Valley View, the dates of construction are uncertain.</p><br>
<p>The smokehouse, measuring about 15 by, is adjacent to the kitchen addition. It is set into a hillside, allowing at-grade entry to its two levels. Built of square-cut logs with white chinking atop a rubble masonry foundation, the smokehouse is topped with a standing seam metal gabled roof.</p><br>
<p>South of the smokehouse is the brick foundation of an ice house measuring about 15 by and topped by modern wooden pergola and patio structures. The 15 by brick foundation of Valley View&#39;s summer kitchen is north of the smokehouse and topped by a contemporary wooden pavilion with a gabled roof.</p><br>
<p>In the rear yard of the house is a water well, enclosed by a brick building about 7 by in area and 3.5 ft in height. In the center of the well cap is a metal hand pump. Although the well cap&#39;s bricks are similar to those used in the construction of the main house, the well may date from an earlier residence on the site.</p><br>
<p>Davol Mills is a historic textile mill complex located at the corner of Plymouth Avenue and Rodman Street in Fall River, Massachusetts. It was built in 1867 and expanded in 1871. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983 as part of the Corky Row Historic District The red brick mills are unique in the city, built in the Second Empire style.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Davol Mills Company was organized in 1866, with nineteen persons, with initial capital set at $270,000, and named in honor of William C. Davol, a machinery builder who is credited with importing the Roberts Self-acting Mule from Great Britain to Fall River in the early 1840s. Mill No. 1 was built in 1867 at the corner of Rodman Street and Eight Rod Way (now known as Plymouth Avenue). The machinery was in operation by March 1868. The Davol Mills initially produced cotton shirtings, sheetings, silesias and fancy fabrics.</p><br>
<p>In 1871, Mill No. 2 was built along Hartwell Street, connected to the first mill. By 1917, the Davol Mills contained 44,000 spindles and 1,258 looms. The company acquired the nearby Tecumseh Mills in 1924. It shut down in 1935.</p><br>
<p>The site was recorded as part of the 1968 New England Textile Mills II, and photographed by Jack E. Boucher of the Historic American Buildings Survey.</p><br>
<p>Tecumseh Mill No. 1 is a historic cotton mill located at 164 Hartwell Street in Fall River, Massachusetts. It was built in 1866, and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983 as part of the Corky Row Historic District. Tecumseh Mills No. 2 and No. 3 were located nearby on Plymouth Avenue, but have since been demolished.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Tecumseh Mills Company was organized in February 1866, by Augustus Chace and group of eighty-eight other investors. The steam-powered cotton mill was built on the banks of the Quequechan River. Built of locally-quarried Fall River granite, it is 196 feet long by 72 feet wide, with 5-1/2 stories. It initially contained 20,480 spindles and 480 looms, and powered by a 400-hp Corliss engine.</p><br>
<p>In 1872, Mill No. 2 was built at a separate site at the corner of Eight Rod Way (now Plymouth Avenue) and Nashua Street. It began operation in 1873. Mill No. 3 was added in 1895, to the north of Mill No. 2 at the corner of Plymouth Avenue and Rodman Street. It was 310 feet long by 100 feet wide, with three stories. By 1917, the company operated 79,952 spindles and 1,698 looms. In 1924, it the Tecumseh Mills merged with the nearby Davol Mills, which operated until 1935. Mill No. 3 was later occupied by Mason’s Furniture for many years (later Cabot House). It was demolished in the 1990s for construction of a Stop & Shop. Mill No. 2 was removed for a one story structure that was also demolished for the supermarket.</p><br>
<p>Mill No. 1 was converted into apartments in the 1980s.</p><br>
<p>The Catumbela is a river in central Angola. The river mouth is at the Catumbela Estuary on the Atlantic Ocean at Catumbela, between Lobito and Benguela, and 240 km from where it rises in the hills of Cassoco. The Catumbela supplies water to the city of Lobito. The mouth of the Catumbela was noted as a green vegetated region surrounded by barren land along the coast and a couple miles inland where it cuts a gorge through bare mountains. Alternate spellings are Catumbella and Cata-Bella.</p><br>
<p>Its main tributaries are the Cuíva River on the right bank, and Cubal River on the left bank.</p><br>
<p>The Catumbela was a center of the slave trade to the New World until it was banned in 1836. Portugal then built a fort at the river mouth and a small community grew up in the area. Exports of palm oil, rubber, serviçais (indentured servants), rum, sugar and other goods traded from further inland supported a small town with several hundred Portuguese colonists. The Cassaquel sugar company, founded in 1913, and later called Primeiro de Maio operated on the banks of the river and would become the largest sugar producer in Angola. It closed in 1990 but at its peak employed over 5,000 who lived in dozens of company towns.</p><br>
<p>Two dams on the Catumbela River produce electrical power for the Lobito and Benguela areas. The Lomaum Dam in Benguela province was built in 1965, destroyed by UNITA in 1983 and later rebuilt with Portuguese help.</p><br>
<p>The Benguela Railway built a bridge over the river in 1905. A new 438 m bridge over the river on the Lobito to Benguela highway was completed in 2009.</p><br>
<p>The Purcell–Killingsworth House, now the Garden Path Inn bed & breakfast, is a historic residence in Columbia, Alabama. Also known as Travelers Rest, it was completed in 1890 by William Henry Purcell , a prominent Columbia businessman and politician. Purcells business interests included a steamboat landing on the Chattahoochee River. The bed and breakfast has three guestrooms.</p><br>
<p>The Purcell House was also the boyhood home of Bishop Clare Purcell (1884-1964). In 1955 he was elected President of the Council of Bishops, the highest place of recognition ever achieved by a native-born Alabama Methodist minister.</p><br>
<p>In 1946, the Purcell Family sold the two acre homestead to Mr. & Mrs. Henry Killingsworth who restored the Victorian mansion. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 16, 1982. It is located on Main Street.</p><br>
<p>The Green Branch of the Patuxent River in Prince George&#39;s County, Maryland is part of the Upper Patuxent Watershead. The stream passes centrally through the Governor Bridge Natural Area / Patuxent River Park and joins the Patuxent, just south of Governor&#39;s Bridge.</p><br>
<p>The stream cuts a narrow gorge through the Aquia greensand between Crain Highway and its junction with the Patuxent.</p><br>
<h2>Drainage area</h2><br>
<p>Green Branch drains the communities of Heather Hills, Ensleigh, Essington, Easthaven, Heather Ridge, Palisades, Pin Oak Village, Covington Manor, Governors Green and Longlea as well as the commercial areas of Bowie Gateway Center and Prince George&#39;s Stadium within Bowie, Maryland.</p><br>
<h2>Environmental concerns</h2><br>
<p>The major pollutant in this stream is non-point sediment. 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. Increased amount of runoff causes water to flow at a faster rate, which erodes stream banks and increases sediment in the water.</p><br>
<p>A large culvert on Green Branch, was significantly impairing fish passage to spawning grounds upstream on the Patuxent in 2008. Fish including herring, alewife, and American eel could not pass through the three-pipe culvert located under an access road within the Governor Bridge Natural Area. The Patuxent Riverkeeper has been working with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources Fish Passage Program to fix this and has received funding from Fish America Foundation and Chesapeake Bay Trust to support the project.</p><br>
<p>West Branch Mahantango Creek is a tributary of Mahantango Creek in Snyder County and Juniata County, in Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is approximately 18 mi in length. The creek starts on Shade Mountain in Snyder County. It ends at its confluence with Mahantango Creek. Most of the land in the watershed is devoted to forest or agriculture. Trout and minnows have been observed in the creek, which is stocked with trout. A covered bridge was built over it in 1908.</p><br>
<h2>Course</h2><br>
<p>West Branch Mahantango Creek starts in the Allen Gap on Shade Mountain in Bald Eagle State Forest. The source is located in West Perry Township, Snyder County. The creek flows southeast down the mountain to the Snyder County/Juniata County line. From here, the creek turns eastward and follows the county line, as well as roughly following Pennsylvania Route 35. After about 3 mi, the creek turns southward, following the county line, but no longer paralleling Pennsylvania Route 35. It passes by Forrey Ridge before turning eastward again after about one mile. After several miles, the creek meanders past the Pennsylvania State Game Lands Number 194. At this point, the stream, along with North Branch Mahantango Creek, flows into Mahantango Creek. Mahantango Creek continues approximately two miles eastward before flowing into the Susquehanna River.</p><br>
<h2>Watershed and tributaries</h2><br>
<p>West Branch Mahantango Creek is entirely located in West Perry Township, Snyder County and Monroe Township, Juniata County. The creek and all its tributaries make up a total of 19.98 stream miles. The upper part of the watershed is considered "impaired" by the state of Pennsylvania. The impaired section of the watershed occupies 9.83 square miles.</p><br>
<p>Out of the impaired upper portion of the West Branch Mahantango Creek watershed, 66% of the land is forest, 28% is devoted to agriculture, and 6% has other uses. In the impaired area of the watershed, hay and pastureland makes up 741 acres. Cropland takes up 1018 acres and forest takes up 4154 acres. Wetland occupies 32 acres and low-intensity development occupies 336 acres. There are 5 acres of land in transition and 5 acres of high-intensity development.</p><br>
<p>Several of the tributaries of West Branch Mahantango Creek have sources on Shade Mountain.</p><br>
<h2>Hydrology</h2><br>
<p>A total of 8,747 lb of sediment flow through West Branch Mahantango Creek every day. This equates to a load of 3,192,600 lb of sediment per year.</p><br>
<p>The average annual rainfall in the West Branch Mahantango Creek watershed between 1992 and 2011 was 39.30 in. The average annual runoff was 2.75 in. Snyder County considers it possible that small amounts of flooding can cause damage to structures located along the creek.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>West Branch Mahantango Creek is located at an elevation of 390 ft above sea level.</p><br>
<p>Downstream of Richfield, West Branch Mahantango Creek is 15 ft to 20 ft wide.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The 69-foot (21-meter) long Oriental Bridge was built over West Branch Mahantango Creek in 1908 and was renovated in 1987. It is open to traffic. A dam called the Meiser&#39;s Mill Dam was once built along the creek, but it was destroyed.</p><br>
<h2>Biology</h2><br>
<p>The waters of West Branch Mahantango Creek are approved trout waters. Minnows also live in the creek. Dozens of vernal pools are located near one area of the creek in Monroe Township. These vernal pools are located at the bottom of a wooded ridge. Two of the pools are home to the plant Leucothoe racemosa. The Richfield Marsh is also located on West Branch Mahantango Creek. The plant Schoenoplectus acutus, which is endangered in Pennsylvania, was found in the Richfield Marsh in 1987. This marsh is one to two acres in size. It is also home to speckled alder and poison sumac. Smallmouth bass have been known to live in the creek. The creek has been stocked with brown trout and rainbow trout.</p><br>
<p>Grant City Park is a public park in Grant, Nebraska. The Works Progress Administration constructed the park between 1936 and 1939. Before the parks creation, Grant had no public parks other than a public swimming pool and softball field; recognizing a need for additional recreation facilities, the citys Garden Club convinced the Village Board of Trustees to approve a public park in 1935.</p><br>
<p>The main feature of the park is an arched concrete band shell. The band shell hosted free concerts from its construction through the 1960s. Thirty concrete and wood benches provide seating for spectators at the band shell. A 33 by concrete fountain, now used as a flower bed, is located in front of the band shell&#39;s stage. The park also includes two stone entrances: an arched main entrance at its southeast corner and a walled southern entrance leading to a tiered rock garden. Recreational facilities at the park include tennis courts and a swimming pool, the latter of which was added in the 1960s.</p><br>
<p>The park was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 16, 1996.</p><br>
<p>Fairmount School, which became known as Helen Dickinson School from 1925 until 1958  and is now the Fairmount House, is a historic school building located in Richmond, Virginia. The two-story brick building was constructed circa 1895 on a high basement in the Gothic Revival style. It features two slate-covered, mansard roofed towers. A two-story addition designed by Albert F. Huntt  was added in 1908&ndash;1909.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. The school is similar architecturally to Randolph School (Richmond, Virginia) which also survives.</p><br>
<p>September 1958, upon its conversion to a Negro school with pupils from Bowler, Buchanan, George Mason, and Woodville. Under Plan III, Fairmount was paired with Francis.</p><br>
<p>It became Fairmount School again in 1958, after being renamed Helen Dickinson in 1925 to honor a former principal, and became a school for African-Americans. It closed in 1979, was sold by the City of Richmond in 1981, and was restored by Churchill-Fairmount Limited Partnership for use by elderly and handicapped persons.</p><br>
<p>St. Sophia Home of the Little Sisters of the Poor, also known as the Little Sisters of the Poor Home for the Aged, is a historic Roman Catholic hospital and convent located in Richmond, Virginia, United States. The original residence known as "Warsaw" was built in 1832, and subsequently incorporated into the Italianate style brick hospital building between 1877 and 1881.

<p>The Ederington House, known locally as the "E" House for the decorations on its fences, is a historic house at 326 South Main Street in Warren, Arkansas. It was built in 1926-27 for Louis Ederington, a local shopowner. It was designed by H. Ray Burks, an architect of some local reputation whose other designs include the Blankinship Motor Company Building and the Drew County Courthouse. This house is one of a few definitely attributed to Burks, and is set on imposing grounds in central Warren. The house is built primarily of red brick, with stucco gable ends and cast stone trim details. The property is lined on two sides by a concrete fencing with iron gates. The posts flanking the driveway and lining the fence are topped by large bronze "E"s.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>The Almshouse, also known as the Richmond Nursing Home, is a historic almshouse and hospital complex located in Richmond, Virginia. The complex includes the Main Building, a ca. 1950 one-story Administration Building, the West Building and the Garage. The Main Building was built in 1860–61, and is an Italianate style brick building consisting of three symmetrically spaced pavilions linked by hyphens. Each pavilion is three stories tall, three bays wide, and rises above a raised full-story basement. The main portion of the West Building was built in 1908. It consists of three symmetrically spaced pavilions linked by hyphens. Each pavilion is two stories tall, three bays wide, and rises above a raised full-story basement. The West Building housed a charity hospital for African-American residents of Richmond. The garage is a two-story masonry and wood frame two bay building. The Almshouse, later called the Richmond Nursing Home, continued to serve the less-fortunate members of the Richmond community until the late 1970s. It is now in use again as a privately managed home for low-income residents.</p><br>
<p>From 1861 to 1864, it served as a Confederate States hospital, officially designated "General Hospital No. 1" but also widely known as the "Alms House Hospital". It operated under the direction of Dr. Charles Bell Gibson, the head of surgical department at the Medical College of Virginia. Many casualties from the battles of First and Second Manassas, Ball&#39;s Bluff, the Seven Days, Fredericksburg, and Chancellorsville were treated here. For much of that time, Union sick and wounded were treated in the building as well. In 1864, the building transitioned briefly to use as an officers-only facility until closing as a hospital in mid-1864. In December 1864, it became the barracks of the Virginia Military Institute Corps of Cadets after that campus had been burned by Union troops under the command of Gen. David Hunter. The cadets occupied the building until the fall of Richmond to Union forces in April 1865.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981, with a boundary increase in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Dr. John Wilson Martin House is a historic house at 200 Ash Street in Warren, Arkansas. In addition to being a well-preserved specimen of an antebellum Greek Revival farmhouse, it is believed to be the oldest surviving residence in Warren. It was built for John Wilson Martin, one of the first doctors in Warren County. Its construction date is uncertain, but local tradition places its start in 1860, and its completion after the American Civil War. The two story porch and doorway with transom and sidelights are typical of the vernacular Greek Revival structures built in the area. Although it received some Folk Victorian modifications in the early 20th, it has retained its basic Greek Revival character.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. It now houses the Bradley County Historical Museum.</p><br>

<p>The Navigation Structures at Frankfort Harbor are a collection of breakwaters, piers, and other structures in Lake Michigan located at the foot of Second Street in Frankfort, Michigan. They were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1854, running from a violent storm, Buffalo captain George Tifft ran his schooner over a sandbar and into the protection of Lake Betsie. After the storm, while digging back out, Tifft took the opportunity to explore the area and realized it was an ideal location for a harbor. Soon after Tifft brought word of his discovery back home, a number of people began purchasing property around the lake. In 1859, private interests constructed two short piers and dredged out a channel between them, connecting Betsie Lake to Lake Michigan.</p><br>
<p>The harbor quickly became a popular refuge, and in 1867, Congress directed the Army Corps of Engineers to begin improvements on the harbor. A new channel was cut, and by 1873 two new wooden piers had been constructed and a beacon installed at the pierhead. As the harbor became more utilized, the piers were extended in 1884 and again in 1896, and a new lighthouse (the Frankfort Light, also on the National Register of Historic Places) was installed on the north pier in 1912.</p><br>
<p>In 1928, construction began on a pair of concrete breakwaters at the harbor entrance. Construction was complete by 1932. With the earlier piers now rendered obsolete, plans were made to shorten them, and the 1912 lighthouse was removed from the north pier and relocated at the head of the north breakwater. In 1934 the remaining stub piers were capped with concrete. Piecemeal repairs were done on sections of the piers in the 1950s and 60s.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The exterior basin of the Frankfort Harbor is formed by two breakwaters, 450 ft apart at the outer ends. The main section of the north breakwater is 972 ft long, with a shore connector of 1,000 ft. The main section of the north breakwater is 1,188 ft long, with a shore connector of 1,400 ft. Two stub piers line the entrance to the harbor within the breakwaters.</p><br>
<p>The piers are stone-filled timber cribs, 20 ft wide, with the exception of the shoreward portion of the south pier, which is constructed of wooden pilings filled with sand. The original piers were wrapped in sheet piling in the 1950s-60s, and the entire structure capped in concrete; the piers now range from 27 ft to 33 ft wide. The lakeward sections of the breakwaters are stone-filled concrte, with riprap piled against the outside. The shoreward sections are wood pilings filled with stone and copped with concrete. The breakwaters range from 14 ft to 17 ft wide.</p><br>
<p>The Frankfort North Breakwater Light is located on the head of the north beakwater. It is a square steel pyramidal tower standing 44 ft atop a 25 ft tall square steel base.</p><br>
<p>The American Woolen Company Townhouses are a collection of brick townhouses built c. 1907 by the American Woolen Company in Lawrence, Massachusetts. They were part of a program of company-built housing between 1906 and 1910 that included the nearby American Woolen Mill Housing District. The townhouses are located on a series of short streets off Market Street in South Lawrence. A historic district comprising these six buildings was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.</p><br>
<p>The townhouses stand on a large parcel of land 100 ft deep, with 475 ft of frontage on Market Street. The lot has been divided into three sections, each of which contains two townhouses facing each other across a central private road (Wood Way, Washington Way, and Prospect Way). The short ends of the townhouses face Market Street. When originally built the central areas provided foot access to the units, but they have been paved over and are now used for parking.</p><br>
<p>The six buildings are identical in all major details, and were designed by local architect James R. Allen. Each one is a two-story brick 98 ft long and 39 ft deep, and houses seven living units. Each unit presents 14 ft of frontage into the central area. There are minor variations in the front facades of the units. In some cases the entries of adjacent units are paired, and some entries or entry pairs are sheltered by a pilastered pediment. The rear of all units was substantially identical: a recessed porch, set under a segmented arch, provided access to the unit&#39;s back door.</p><br>
<p>St. Matthews Cathedral is an Episcopal cathedral located in Laramie, Wyoming, United States. It is the seat of the Diocese of Wyoming. The cathedral is a contributing property in the St. Matthews Cathedral Close, a historic district listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>St. Matthews was established in 1868. The Rt. Rev. Ethelbert Talbot, the first bishop of the newly created Missionary District of Wyoming and Idaho chose Laramie as his See city. He then led the effort to build St. Matthews Cathedral from 1892 to 1896. The cathedral cornerstone was laid on September 21, 1892 and it was dedicated on December 17, 1896. The church was consecrated on August 11, 1901. The 1967 General Convention of the Episcopal Church created the Diocese of Wyoming. The first diocesan convention was held at St. Matthews on January 30, 1968. The Diocese of Wyoming is contiguous with the state of Wyoming. The cathedral is a part of the St. Matthews Cathedral Close historic district placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. The other elements in the district include the Deanery, Hunter Hall (formerly known as Sherwood Hall), and the First World War Memorial Cross.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>New York City architect William Halsey Wood designed St. Matthews Cathedral in the Gothic Revival style. The structure is built of native sandstone that was quarried nine miles northeast of Laramie. The church building is cruciform is shape with the bell tower and spire above the main entrance. The cross at the top of the spire is 118 ft feet above the ground and 7,276 ft feet above sea level, which makes St. Matthews the highest cathedral in the United States. There are 11 bells in the tower that were cast by Meneely & Co., of Watervliet, New York. The clock on the tower was made by the E. Howard Clock Co. of Boston.</p><br>
<p>Several artists created the cathedrals stained glass windows. They include Heaton, Butler and Bayne of London and New York City, Charles Connick of Boston, and Rowan and Irene LeCompte of New York and Washington, D.C.</p><br>
<h2>Organ</h2><br>
<p>The pipe organ was installed by the E.M. Skinner Organ Co. in 1925, Opus 523. It features four manuals, 51 ranks, and 3,111 pipes. The console was replaced in 1998 by a 1928 Casavant console, from Opus 1275, rebuilt by Morel & Associates.</p><br>
