<p>The Northwestern Bell Telephone Company Regional Headquarters building in Omaha, Nebraska was built in 1957 as the headquarters of Northwestern Bell, the telephone company that served Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota, Minnesota, and North Dakota. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009 for its architectural significance as a modern corporate office building in Omaha, as well as Omaha&#39;s status as a regional center of communication and commerce at the time.</p><br>
<p>The twelve-story building was originally built in 1957 on the northeast corner of the block bounded by Dodge Street on the north, Douglas Street on the south, 19th Street on the east, and 20th Street on the west. In 1964, an addition was built on the northwest corner of the block, also twelve stories high. The southeast corner of the block was the original company headquarters and switching center, built in 1918. The 1918 building has been altered by additional equipment installation and removal of the ornamental façade, so it is not listed on the National Register. Finally, the southwest corner of the block was built in 1970, making it too new for listing.</p><br>
<p>The company was formed by the merger of the Nebraska Telephone Company, the Iowa Telephone Company, and the Northwestern Telephone Exchange. They were effectively operated by one general office and its staff by 1909, but they were not officially merged until 1921. The company grew during the 1920s, but then faced financial difficulties during the Great Depression in the 1930s. During World War II, most telephone company resources were being applied toward military and government jobs, so by the end of the war, there were about 59,000 outstanding requests for residential and business service. Northwestern Bell realized that after the war, the development of new jobs and new homes would result in a demand for more telephone service. By 1953, the company had 1,750,000 telephones and was spending $50 million in construction costs. This growth in service produced a sizable economic effect on the region&#39;s economy. The company also recognized the importance of hiring and retaining skilled telephone employees in order to provide outstanding telephone service.</p><br>
<p>Other growth at Northwestern Bell during this time included work with the Strategic Air Command, with its headquarters south of Omaha at Offutt Air Force Base. The Strategic Air Command spent millions of dollars on communication equipment, including the "red telephone" system that connected 200 SAC locations to the command post at Offutt. The need for instant communication made SAC the Bell Systems first customer for Touch-Tone dialing. Residential customers also benefited from faster service via coaxial cable and crossbar switching equipment. Since a large amount of equipment had been added to the original Douglas Street building, many of the telephone companys employees were working in leased office space.</p><br>
<p>Design of the building began in the mid-1950s, following newly developed standards within the Bell System for building design. These standards were influenced by modern architecture, particularly with respect to building mass, site selection, and materials. The 1955 administration building in New Haven, Connecticut, the 1958 regional headquarters in Des Moines, Iowa, and the 1960 administration building in Denver, Colorado followed similar trends in architectural design. These buildings were built with simpler, solid planes instead of Art Deco setbacks, such as had been used in the Northwestern Bell Building in Minneapolis built in 1931. The building was designed by Leo A. Daly, which is now one of the largest architectural, engineering, planning, and interior design firms in the United States. In 1962, an addition was built due to enlarged departmental needs, as well as the need to house more equipment.</p><br>
<p>The Balcony House is a historic building located at 1006 Court St. in Imperial, Nebraska. Initially constructed as a school, the building served as a hotel at a local tourist camp during the 1920s; it currently functions as a bed and breakfast. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 5, 2000.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building was constructed outside of Imperial in the 1880s and initially served as a school. In 1921, the Nebraska Fire Marshal condemned the school, and the building was moved to its current location. A two-story addition was added to the building after its move to replace a similar addition which was left at the original site. At its new site, the building served as a hotel for a tourist camp along the Detroit-Lincoln-Denver Highway, a transcontinental highway which crossed Nebraska along the modern route of USA Route 6. The tourist camp became a prominent local business, hosting as many as 300 visitors in a day; it also hosted events such as free concerts and received regular coverage in the local newspaper. The camp closed in 1930 after the Great Depression reduced leisure travel and deprived the business of its customers. The building is currently used as a bed and breakfast.</p><br>
<p>Moore&#39;s Auto Body and Paint Shop, formerly known as Standard Gas and Oil Supply Station, is a historic filling station located in Richmond, Virginia. The oldest section was originally built as a stable in 1875. It was enlarged in 1926. It is a one-story, stuccoed brick building in the Spanish Colonial Revival style. The structure has an irregular plan, with the northern facade formed in a crescent shape and the rest of the building in rectangular forms. The central section features heavy paneled stuccoed pilasters connected by a corbeled brick table and a paneled parapet. The building was used as a filling station until 1936, after which it was occupied by a series of automobile repair businesses.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<p>Yorkville School, also known as Parkview School, is a historic multi-room school in Yorkville, Illinois, United States.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Yorkville, Illinois was founded in 1833 when Earl Adams built a log cabin on the south side of the Fox River. As the area developed, the river split the population into Bristol, north of the river, and Yorkville to the south. Yorkville and Bristol remained separate communities through the 1880s. During that decade, however, Yorkville and Bristol officials agreed to form a single school district.</p><br>
<p>The Yorkville School was the first large school building in the area and held classes from first grade through high school. Grade school students were largely drawn from the two communities, but high school students would attend from as far as 20 mi away. Despite the name, the school was built in what was then still called Bristol. Yorkville residents filed a lawsuit to stop construction, but the district was able to construct the building before the case went to court. It replaced an 1830s one-room schoolhouse on the south side of the river and an 1850s four-room school building on the north side. Bristol was later merged into Yorkville.</p><br>
<p>A large addition on the east side was built in 1907. Yorkville High School was built in 1959. The old Yorkville School continued to house grade and middle schools for another nine years. In 1968, the school building became home to Waubonsee Community College, who renamed the structure Parkview School. Waubonsee later moved to Sugar Grove, Illinois. The building was still used for grade school classes until 1991.</p><br>
<p>Fensfjorden is a fjord on the border of Hordaland and Sogn og Fjordane counties in Norway. The 30 km long fjord begins in the North Sea at Holmengrå Lighthouse and flows to the southeast through the municipalities of Austrheim, Gulen, Lindås, and Masfjorden. The fjord ends on the Masfjorden-Lindås border where it splits into two fjords: Masfjorden  and Austfjorden .</p><br>
<p>The fjord is generally about 3 to 5 km wide. There is only one crossing: a car ferry from Støvåg in Gulen to Mongstad in Lindås. The islands of Byrknesøyna, Mjømna, and Sandøyna (as well as the mainland) lie on the northern side of the fjord. The south side of the fjord includes the island of Fosøyna and the Lindås peninsula lie on the south side of the fjord.</p><br>
<p>There is a lot of ship traffic in the outer part of the Fensfjorden due to the large oil refinery and industrial area at Mongstad on the northern end of the Lindås peninsula. Mongstad is Norways largest port based on tonnage, and Northern Europes largest oil port. Roughly 2000 ships port at Mongstad in the Fensfjorden annually.</p><br>
<p>Pañamarca (possibly from Quechua paña, "right hand, on the right", marka "village"</p><br>
<p>) is an archaeological site in the Ancash Region in Peru. It is situated in the Santa Province, Nepeña District, on the right bank of the Nepeña River. An aspect of this archaeological site that is not well known is that this site is home to many artifacts that link back to the Incan Empire. This site is also linked with the Moche culture and together, this site was occupied by two civilizations, the Inca and the Moche, which is significant because the archaeology that is present at the site shows that the site was important in the eyes of multiple cultures.</p><br>
<p>While Pañamarka may at one time have once been quite aesthetically pleasing and grand, it is but a small collection of ruined walls, rock, and sand today. However, future excavations at the site may uncover more of the city buried beneath the Earth, and could perhaps provide archaeologists with enough information so that they might create an artistic reconstruction of what the city looked like during the height of its occupation.</p><br>
<h2>Pañamarca and the Moche</h2><br>
<h3>Shields, war clubs, and weapon bundles</h3><br>
<p>The Moche culture (100 AD – 700 AD) occupied the site of Pañamarca during the late period of the Moche, from 600 AD to the end of the Moche. During that period of acquisition the Moche left behind valuable artifacts that were a window into what the Moche were like. The artifacts they left behind were handmade shields woven with fibrous plants. These shields had a burlap-like material with decorations on the front facing side of the shield. Presumably these shields would have been used in religious and or militaristic ceremonies, yet this does not discount the concept that they were exclusively employed in displays of pageantry. Even in the most devastating of military campaigns the formalities of battlefield action, official dress and regalia, and the brandishing of national colors and symbols were ritualized. The shield implies that an object of its kind could transcend its defensive function and become an abstract symbol, potent within Moche ritual. Moche shields and war clubs were primary elements of the weapon bundle motif which was ubiquitous in Moche arts, especially during the Middle Moche (c. 400 C.E.) and beyond. The panoply was oft to also incorporate spear throwers, darts, and at times the garments of fallen warriors. By the Late Moche period, the weapon bundle became one of the most important symbols in Moche art. The club and shield motif was so important that it became a kind of logo for the Moche culture, and the trophy bundles of the defeated warriors&#39; weapons and clothes became an "iconic, summarizing symbol" for the military focused Moche ideology. The discovery of the Moche feathered shield makes clear that, despite great loss from centuries of extensive looting, neglect, and environmental catastrophe, all has not been lost at Pañamarca.</p><br>
<h3>Mural paintings</h3><br>
<p>In addition, several important mural paintings (ca. 500–900 CE) were excavated at the site, which possess mimetic images that participated in the performance and perpetuation of Moche religious and political identity on the region’s southern margin. The paintings were modeled on images found on portable objects, such as ceramic vases and or tapestries, and were most likely not created by teams of mural painters who would have been dispatched form other sites. Furthermore, it is theorized that these newly discovered Moche mural paintings possess phenomenological effects and performance capabilities that connect with the site’s Ceremonial Plaza, Platform II, and newly discovered Recinto de los Pilares Pintados (Enclosure of the Painted Pillars). These temple paintings would have served to model ritual behavior and embody religious doctrine as they effectively participated in the substantiation of the late Moche presence at the southern frontier. In addition, a few of the murals uncovered at the site are indicative of Inca design. According to the individuals who participated in the excavation of these murals, the understanding of the memory and reception of these important early paintings will be enhanced by ongoing technical studies of an organic residue splashed upon them in antiquity within the coming years.</p><br>
<p>The Platte River Campground Site, designated 20BZ16, is an archaeological site located along the Platte River, within the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore near Empire, Michigan. It is significant as a largely intact record of prehistoric life over a long span of time. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The site of the Platte River Campground was used sporadically over a wide span of time, estimated to be A.D. 130-1269, during Middle and Late Woodland period. Evidence suggests that this occupation was short-term, consistent with a seasonal camping site, rather than long-term.</p><br>
<p>In the late 19th and early 20th century, the logging community of Edgewater was established on the shore of Platte Lake; the community overlapped the prehistoric campground. After the area was logged, the State of Michigan turned the location into a campground; the campground became part of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore upon its creation in 1973.</p><br>
<p>Archaeological artifacts were first discovered at the Platte River Campground site in 1985. Although an earlier survey in 1976 had covered the area, the prehistoric site at the Platte River Campground had been missed. Archaeological excavations were conducted at the site in 1987 to assess the impact of a planned campground redevelopment program. Although the site had seen constant use for over 50 years as a campground, the site maintained a high degree of integrity.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Platte River Campground site extends 300 meters along the north bank of the Platte River, and runs up to 160 meters deep. The site is a multicomponent site, with repeated prehistoric occupations over the Middle and Late Woodland Periods as well as historic occupation around the turn of the 20th century; thus, artifacts were found covering a range of time periods.</p><br>
<p>The artifacts recovered included a great many fire cracked rocks and chert flakes. Some ceramic shard and stone projectile points were also discovered, as well as two celts and two copper artifacts. Historic artifacts, presumably related to the logging community of Edgewater, were also discovered.</p><br>
<p>Gírová  is an 840 m mountain in the Silesian Beskids mountain range, in the Moravian-Silesian Region, Czech Republic. The mountain is located several kilometers from the borders with Poland and Slovakia.</p><br>
<p>There is a mountain hut on the mountain, at the elevation of 790 m. It was opened on 16 October 1932 by the Club of Czechoslovak Tourists. Six year afterwards, the hut was rented by Franciszek Schulhauser, who has been administering it until 1967. During the communist era, the hut was owned by several state companies, and was not fully opened to the tourists. It was only on 4 September 1993, when the hut was fully opened.</p><br>
<p>There are two tourist trails leading to Gírová. One can reach the mountain from Mosty u Jablunkova (Mosty koło Jabłonkowa) and Bukovec (Bukowiec), the second one from Jablunkov (Jabłonków).</p><br>

<p>Virginia State Library-Oliver Hill Building, also known as the State Finance Building, is a historic library and government office building located on Capitol Square in Richmond, Virginia. It was built in 1892-1894, expanded in 1908-1910, remodeled in 1929, and renovated and expanded in 2004. It is a three-story, Beaux Arts style building with a buff brick veneer and terra cotta detailing. It features an Ionic order portico echoing the Virginia State Capitol’s portico. It originally housed the Virginia State Library collections, the Virginia Supreme Court, and office of the Attorney General. From 1910 to 1964, the State Museum of Natural History was housed in a new wing. In 1939, the functions of the State Library and Supreme Court were moved to the new Virginia State Library building, now the Patrick Henry Building, and the building was rechristened the State Finance Building. On October 28, 2005, the building was officially renamed the Oliver Hill Building, after Oliver Hill.</p><br>
<p>The offices of the Lieutenant Governor of Virginia and the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services are located in the Oliver Hill Building. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>

<p>The Robert E. Lee Monument was the first and is the largest of Monument Avenue&#39;s monuments in Richmond, Virginia. In 1876 the Lee Monument Association commissioned the adaption of a painting done by artist Adalbert Volck into a lithograph. The lithograph, depicting Robert E. Lee on his horse, was the basis for the bronze statue created by French sculptor Antonin Mercié. It was noted in the National Register of Historic Places that "the horse is not a representation of Lee’s famous mount Traveller. The sculptor did not find the size of the actual horse to be in keeping with the overall composition and therefore created an ideal mount with the necessary requirements." The cornerstone was placed on October 27, 1887. The statue was cast in several pieces separately and then the assembled statue was displayed in Paris before it was shipped to Richmond, where it arrived by rail on May 4. Newspaper accounts indicate that 10,000 people helped pull four wagons with the pieces of the monument. The completed statue was unveiled on May 29, 1890. The statue serves as a traffic circle at the intersection of Monument Avenue and Allen Avenue . Lee stands 14 ft high atop his horse and the entire statue is 60 ft tall standing on a stone base.</p><br>
<p>The site for the statue originally was offered in 1886. Over some opposition, the offer was accepted and later withdrawn when opponents complained that the $20,000 for the Lee Monument was inappropriate because the site was outside the city limit. Richmond City annexed the land in 1892, but bad times economically caused the Lee Monument to stand alone for several years in the middle of a tobacco field before development resumed in the early 1900s.</p><br>
<p>The Lee Monument is a focal point for Richmond. (Most popular online maps depict the "Lee Circle" as the center of Richmond, although the Virginia Department of Transportation uses the state Capitol building as its center.) In 1992, the iron fence around the monument was removed, in part because drivers unfamiliar with traffic circles would run into the fence from time to time and force costly repairs. When the fences came down, the stone base became a popular sunbathing spot. In December 2006, the state completed an extensive cleaning and repair of the monument.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007. It is located in the Monument Avenue Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The Warren Brick Streets of Warren, Arkansas are a collection of city streets that have retained original brick pavement laid down in the late 1920s. The sections include blocks of Cedar, Myrtle, Chestnut, 1st, Walnut, Elm, and Cypress Streets, and include nearly 5,000 ft of pavement. The bricks are laid out in a running bond pattern up to intersections, where a diamond pattern is used, partly to maintain the position of the bricks. The bricks measure 4 by 8.5 inches, and are probably 2 inches thick. The streets are 36 ft wide, with 2 feet of concrete gutter and curbing. It is surmised that the bricks were laid on a concrete substrate, in part because the condition of the surviving sections is very good.</p><br>
<p>The street sections were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<p>The Bero is a river in southern Angola. Its mouth is at Little Fish Bay in the Atlantic Ocean on the north side of the city of Namibe in Namibe Province.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1849 Portuguese colonists from Brazil started farms along the river. During a period of conflict with the Ovimbundu in 1862, the Portuguese stationed troops on both banks of the Bero.https://books.google.com/books?id=Wb4NAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA200&lpg=PA200&dq=%22rio+bero%22+angola&source=bl&ots=GGnWxtkZWv&sig=K07Bpqy3LTd0Unk280Zj2QRfM54&hl=en&sa=X&ei=JczIUrLQNIXuoASQvILQCA&ved=0CEUQ6AEwBQ#v=onepage&q=%22rio%20bero%22%20angola&f=false Relatorio Do Governador Geral Da Provincia de Angola: Sebastiao Lopes de Calheiros E Menezes Referido Ao Anno de 1861</p><br>
<p>Angola. Govêrno Geralm Impr. Nacional, 1867, p. 200 By the late 19th and early 20th century, the Bero River marshes supported fruit, cotton, sugar and coffee farms, as well as providing fresh water to passing steamships although it was noted that the might be only a foot of water in the river in the dry season. Work to desilt the river and reinforce its banks near the river mouth was done in the 2000s for flood control.</p><br>
<p>The plant, Euphorbia berotica, was named after the river because it was discovered in the area.</p><br>
<p>The Supreme Court Building is the official and principal site for the Supreme Court of Pakistan, located at 44000 Constitution Avenue in Islamabad, Pakistan. Completed in 1960s, it is situated on the Constitution Avenue and is flanked by the Prime Ministers Secretariat to the south and Presidents House and the Parliament Building to the north.</p><br>
<p>Designed by famous Japanese architect, Kenzō Tange, under the consultation of the EPA, the complex was engineered and built by the CDA Engineering and Siemens Engineering. The building was part of an effort by the government of Pakistan to incorporate modernism into the architecture of important government buildings, for which several world-renowned architects were invited; Tange, after initially rejecting the invitation, ultimately agreed to participate.</p><br>

<p>The Mount Sterling Commercial Historic District is a historic business district located in downtown Mount Sterling, Illinois. The district, located immediately south of the Brown County Courthouse, includes four entire city blocks and parts of four others; 38 buildings, of which 35 are contributing buildings, are in the district. Nearly all of the buildings in the district are Italianate commercial buildings; the only exceptions are a Classical Revival bank building and the courthouse, which incorporates both Italianate and Classical Revival elements. Two government buildings are located in the district: the 1868 courthouse and the Mount Sterling public library, which is located in a former hardware store.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 8, 1987.</p><br>
<p>La Grange Lock and Dam is a lock and dam complex on the Illinois River at Versailles, Illinois. The structure includes a 1,066 ft dam and a 110 by lock. The USA Army Corps of Engineers built the complex from 1936 to 1939; A.F. Griffin designed the lock and dam, while Paul Le Gromwell designed the control station. The lock and dam, as well as a similar lock and dam near Peoria, were constructed in response to a Supreme Court order limiting the amount of water which could be diverted from Lake Michigan via the river. The lock uses Chanoine wicket gates, which allow for navigation on the river, rather than the Tainter gates seen elsewhere on the river.</p><br>
<p>The structure was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 10, 2004.</p><br>
<p>The Frankfort Land Company House, also known as the John Bockoven House, is a single family house located at 428 Leelanau Street in Frankfort, Michigan, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. It currently operates as the Stonewall Inn B & B.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Frankfort Land Company began the development of the town of Frankfort in 1859. In the 1860s (likely 1867, but perhaps as early as 1860), they constructed this house to provide a residence for company officials living on site. However, the existence of the house—the first stylish building constructed in the town—also advertised the confidence the Land Company had in the potential and economic vitality of Frankfort.</p><br>
<p>At some point in the 1870s, the house was sold to Hugh and Emily Marsh. They lived there until 1881, when Stephan Grubbs purchased it. He sold the house in 1885 to Elvira Bates, who moved in with Anna Alice Little, the daughter of a good friend. Anna married Henry Hills in 1885, and continued living in the house with her family and Elvira Bates. In 1888, Elvira deeded the house to Anna. Elvira died in 1900, and the Hills family moved to Grand Rapids in 1905. They rented the house for ten years.</p><br>
<p>In 1915, the house was purchased by John J. and Caroline Bockoven of Grand Rapids as a summer retreat. Their son, John C. Bockoven, soon married and started a family, and continued to use the house, primarily in the summer. The family used the house until John C. Bockoven died; after which usage tapered off, ceasing entirely in about 1973. The house lay vacant until 1987, when John C. Bockoven Jr sold it at auction to a local antiques dealer, Ed Wichert. Wichert began restoring the house in 1993, and in 1996 opened it as the "Frankfort Land Co. Bed & Breakfast Inn." It now operates as the "Stonewall Inn B & B."</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Frankfort Land Company House is one of the best surviving examples of Italianate architecture in Benzie County. It is a two-story, T-shaped, hip roof structure with a single-story gable roof wing. Atop the main section is a square, hip roof belvedere. Decorative brackets are tucked under the eaves. The windows are long and narrow four-over-four double-hung type, framed with the original functional shutters. There is a bay window on one side.</p><br>
<p>Tauriana or Taureana  is an ancient city of the Bruttii which was located in the southern part of Calabria, in present Taurianova, Reggio Calabria province.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Its ruins were located in the territory of Palmi. The city&#39;s name derives from the Italic peoples who founded it, the Tauriani.</p><br>
<p>The city, which stood on the south bank of the river Metauros (probably Petrace), marked the border of the territory of Reggio Calabria on the Tyrrhenian coast north-west, which began more than that of Locri. Later Roman and later Byzantine Tauriana was destroyed by the Saracens in the middle of the 10th century. Most of the archaeological finds today are in the Archaeological Park of Tauriani.</p><br>
<p>A frazione of the town of Palmi currently bears the name of Taureana.</p><br>
<h2>Ecclesiastical history</h2><br>
<p>From circa 600 (others say the 3rd or 4th century) Taurianum was also the see of a Catholic diocese, in the ecclesiastical province of Reggio Calabria. In its territory was born and lived in Saint Fantino the Elder alias the Wonderworker, the oldest saint of Calabria (not be confused with St. Fantinus the Younger). The crypt where his remains were buried, below the Temple of Santo Fantino, is the oldest Catholic place of worship in the region.</p><br>
<p>In 1040 it lost territory to establish the Diocese of Oppido Mamertina.</p><br>
<p>In 1093 it was suppressed, its territory being merged into the Diocese of Mileto.</p><br>
<h3>Titular see</h3><br>
<p>In 1968 the diocese was nominally restored as Latin Titular bishopric of Taurianum (Italian Tauriano), of the lowest (Episcopal) rank.</p><br>
<p>It has had the following incumbent :</p><br>
<p>Alessandro Staccioli, O.M.I. (1968.09.26 –...), Apostolic Vicar of Luang Prabang (Laos) (26 September 1968 - resigned 29 November 1975), later Auxiliary Bishop of Siena–Colle di Val d’Elsa–Montalcino (Tuscany, central Italy) (1975.11.29 – retired 1990.12.10)</p><br>
<p>Aljaž Lodge in the Vrata Valley  is a mountain hut that lies near the stream Triglav Bistrica in the upper end of the Vrata Valley. The hut is named after the Slovene priest and composer Jakob Aljaž , who in 1896 ordered the construction of the first wooden hut in the valley. The original Aljaž Lodge was built in 1904, and rebuilt in 1910 after the previous one was destroyed by an avalanche. Aljaž Lodge is the starting point to ascend the mountains Triglav, Škrlatica and Cmir.</p><br>

<p>The West Franklin Street Historic District is a national historic district located at Richmond, Virginia. It is located along the northern boundary of the Fan district. The district encompasses 71 contributing buildings built between about 1870 and the 1920. It was originally developed as a primarily residential district with buildings in a variety of popular late-19th and early-20th century architectural styles including Greek Revival, Romanesque, Georgian Revival, Queen Anne, and Italianate. Many of the dwellings have been converted to commercial use. In addition, the district’s private houses have been converted into multi-family housing and departmental offices for Virginia Commonwealth University. Notable buildings include Franklin Terrace, the Ritter-Hickock House, First Independent Church, Founder&#39;s Hall, the Raleigh Building, The Greyston Apartments, Gresham Court Apartments, and the Beth Ahabah Congregation Hall and Synagogue.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972, with a boundary increase in 2009.</p><br>

<p>Begunjščica is a ridge mountain in the Karawanks. It rises from the western Smokuč mountain pasture  to St. Anne  on its eastern side. The mountain has three main peaks, the highest being Big Peak . The western Middle Peak  lies a little lower, and the lowest is Begunje Mount Vrtača . Its southern slopes rise over the Draga Valley. The ascent of the mountain is relatively easy and possible throughout the year. In the winter and early spring conditions are favourable for ski touring.</p><br>
<h2>Starting points</h2><br>
<p>4½ hrs from Begunje (616 m), over the Preval Pass and Begunje Mount Vrtača.</p><br>

<h2>Panoramic view</h2><br>
<p>There is a nice panoramic view from the summit. Towards the west there is Bohinj with its lake, Lake Bled and Triglav. The Martuljek Group with Škrlatica, Stol, Vrtača and Košuta can be seen to the north. On the eastern side lie the Kamnik Savinja Alps with Storžič prominent, and the Ljubljana Basin can be seen to the south.</p><br>
<h2>Manganese ore</h2><br>
<p>Begunjščica was once an important mining area for manganese ore in Slovenia. These mines contributed to 79% of all Slovene manganese ores processed in the ironworks of Jesenice. They were used in 1872 by the engineer Lambert von Pantz to make ferromanganese, a manganese and iron alloy, in a blast furnace, with significantly higher manganese content than was previously possible (37% instead of the previous 12%). This won the Carniolan Industrial Company 22 international recognitions, including a gold medal at the 1873 World Exposition in Vienna and an award at the Centennial Exposition in Pennsylvania in 1876. The manganese ore was dug at Begunjščica until 1915. Altogether 130,000 metric tons were dug, containing on average 30% of manganese.</p><br>
<p>Lluest-wen Reservoir  is a reservoir at the top of the Rhondda Fach Valley , in the borough of Rhondda Cynon Taf, South Wales. Parts of it fall within the communities of Rhigos, Aberdare and Treherbert. A recreational walking route, the Coed Morgannwg Way, and route 47 of the National Cycle Network run northeast and southwest of it respectively.</p><br>
<p>The reservoir was built in 1898 and covers an area of 20 acres.</p><br>
<p>In December 1969 there was a significant emergency when a crack was found in the reservoir wall, which led to the evacuation of 350 houses, 7 schools and the relocation of miners from Maerdy Colliery. Water was pumped out to reduce the reservoir water level by almost 10 metres to reduce the pressure on the structure and allow repairs to be completed. The emergency was declared over on 25 January 1970.</p><br>
<p>The California Boatyards was a boatyard in California, Pennsylvania along the Monongahela River.</p><br>
<p>From the beginning on the California, Pennsylvania in the 1780s, California was the site of logging and had sawmills. The boatyards, which were active from 1852 to 1879, were best known for the construction of steamboats used for western trade along the Ohio River. During the active period, 131 boats were built, with 74 in the 1850s alone. The boatyards ceased operation in 1879 when the Pittsburgh, Virginia and Charleston Railway acquired the riverside for a right-of-way.</p><br>
<p>In June 18, 1994, the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission erected a historical marker at the California Area Public Library, a former railroad passenger station near the former location of the boatyards.</p><br>
<p>The marker was sponsored by the Monongahela River Bluffs Association.</p><br>
<p>The Vazuza Reservoir  is a reservoir based on the lower channel of the Vazuza River, in Tver Oblast and Smolensk Oblast, Russia. It was filled in 1977–1978.</p><br>
<p>The dam is between the Pashutino and Chaika villages, Zubtsovsky District, Tver Oblast. 4.7 km abone the dam the reservoir is split into two branches: the left one (27.8 km) is along Vazuza, the left one (16.5) is along its tributary, Osuga River. The Vazuza branch branches further, adding tributaries of Kasnya and Gzhat, and connecting with Yauza River via the Vazuza-Yauza Canal. The Gzhat branch gives rise to the Lower Part of Vazuza Reservoir, of length 62 km, which in one stretch (10 km) has the widest reach of the reservoir, of average width of 1 km, maximal width 2.4 km.</p><br>
<p>It is a reserve freshwater reservoir for Moscow, feeding the Vazuza Hydrotechnical System.</p><br>
<p>The Mills Community House, also known as the Mills Cottage and the Benzonia Library, is a former dormitory located at 891 Michigan Avenue in Benzonia, Michigan. It is significant for its association with Bruce Catton , who lived there when his father was president of Benzonia Academy. It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The village of Benzonia was founded as an educational colony in 1858 by the Reverend Charles E. Bailey and four families from Oberlin, Ohio. They immediately set about building an educational institution, holding classes beginning in 1860. They constructed a two-story frame building and chartered the community school, Grand Traverse College, in 1863. Within five years, the building burned, and the school took over a three-story frame building, dubbing it "East Hall." This was the only building used by the college for a number of years, until the 1890s when a new building was constructed, and East Hall was turned into the girls dormitory, dining room, and presidents quarters. In 1891, the school was reorganized as Benzonia College; in 1900 the school became Benzonia Academy.</p><br>
<p>In 1906, George Catton became president of Benzonia Academy. and made substantial contributions to the construction of the building in honor of his late wife. The cottage included the girls&#39; dormitory, the dining room, and living quarters for the Academy headmaster.</p><br>
<p>In 1918, Benzonia Academy closed its doors due to financial difficulties. In 1925, when it became clear that the Academy would not reopen, Mills Cottage was deeded to the Benzonia Congregational Church. The building was renovated to include an auditorium on the upper level and a meeting space in the lower level. The Benzonia Public Library leased the middle floor. During the 1930s, Benzonia High School used the top floor as a gymnasium, theater, and dance floor. Later, other community groups used the space for plays, parties, and meetings. During World War II Mills House was used to house women of the Woman&#39;s Land Army of America.</p><br>
<p>Later, the top floor was closed due to safety concerns.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Mills Cottage is a rectangular, 2-1/2 story brick structure on a stone foundation with a steeply pitched hip roof having wide eaves and exposed rafters. The center section is fronted by a wide porch having Tuscan columns, and the roof is punctuated in the center by a hip roof dormer holding four windows. The end sections, similarly roofed, project slightly. Inside, an auditorium is on the top floor, and the library takes up the main floor.</p><br>
<p>Beenleigh Rum Distillery is a heritage-listed rum distillery at Distillery Road, Eagleby , City of Logan, Queensland, Australia. The distillery produces Beenleigh Rum. It was built from to. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 6 March 2004.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Beenleigh Rum Distillery on the banks of the Albert River was licensed in 1884 and utilised molasses from sugar grown and crushed in the area. The town of Beenleigh developed consequent to the growth of sugar related industries in the area and took its name from the plantation that the preceded the establishment of the distillery.</p><br>
<p>Moreton Bay penal colony commandant Captain Patrick Logan explored the area around the Logan and Albert Rivers in 1826. Timbergetters in search of cedar and hardwoods moved into the district around 1840, but the first European settlers took up land in 1864 under the Sugar and Coffee regulations, a government scheme to encourage the growing of these potentially valuable crops in the new colony of Queensland. Leases of between 320 and 1280 acres were available for three years with an option to purchase, in order to encourage the establishment of plantations. 39 leases were granted in the first months of the scheme&#39;s operation of which 10 were in the Logan area, and at all of which it was intended to grow sugar.</p><br>
<p>Sugar cane had been first brought to Australia in 1788 but subsequent plantings at Sydney, Port Macquarie and Norfolk Island failed to be commercially viable. Captain Louis Hope grew a cane crop successfully in Ormiston in Queensland in 1862. By 1864 the first commercial sugar mill in Australia had been established by him at Ormiston and interest in growing sugar cane spread rapidly. By 1867 an estimated 2000 acres were under cane in the Brisbane area and by the end of the decade, cane had also been successfully established further north at Maryborough, Mackay and Bundaberg, where the warmer climate proved more suitable, and sugar was established as a major commercial crop in Queensland.</p><br>
<p>An area of land between the Albert and Logan Rivers was planted with cane in 1865 by the partnership of Francis Gooding and John Davy. The brothers-in-law had arrived in Brisbane from Devon, England, in 1862 and named their new plantation "Beenleigh" after their home in England. By 1866 their plantation was productive and in 1868, the Inspector of Distilleries reported that the Logan area had 802 acres under cultivation and a still was in the course of erection at "Malungmovel", George Board&#39;s plantation. The production of rum was encouraged by the Queensland Government as it brought in revenue from taxes and was a popular commodity, being easier to keep and transport than beer or wines in an era when transport was slow.</p><br>
<p>A mobile distillery also served the numerous plantations along the rivers. This was the steam operated "Walrus", a boat which was built at Cleveland in 1864 as a sailing vessel, then sold in 1869 to James Stewart who converted it to steam and installed a still. A license to operate as a floating distillery was reluctantly granted on 14 April 1869 by the Inspector of Distilleries, although he deemed the boat unsuitable for the purpose, as there was then no other licensed distillery in the area. The boat then operated as the Pioneer Floating Sugar Mill. Its licence was not renewed in 1872 as it did not fulfil the requirement to carry cane-crushing equipment and acted solely as a distillery, producing rum from molasses. This is the thick syrup remaining after cane juice has been crystallised by boiling to produce sugar. Rum is produced from this by-product by adding water and yeast and fermenting the mixture. This is then boiled and the alcohol vapour separated out by distillation, the condensate being collected, perhaps charcoal filtered, and stored in casks to mature.</p><br>
<p>By 1869 Davy and Gooding had 55 acres under cane and were constructing a sugar mill, which was in operation by the following year. The boom in sugar in the region in the 1870s led to the rapid development of the nearby township that took its name from the Beenleigh plantation. By 1876 this was described by Bailliere&#39;s Gazetteer as a provincial centre serving an area with nine sugar mills and two distilleries within six kilometres of the township.</p><br>
<p>After the Walruss license was withdrawn it is said to have carried on its operations illegally for some years. In 1883 the boat was beached on the banks of the Albert River and Francis Gooding purchased its still, obtaining a distillery licence in June 1884. The price of sugar fell in 1884 and this may have had some bearing on the decision to include distilling in the partnerships operations The Beenleigh distillery had 9877 gallons of rum on hand by 31 March 1885. The Post Office Directory for that year lists three distilleries in the area: Ageston, Davy and Gooding, and the Loganholme Sugar Company. Many small plantations in the area failed in the 1880s due also to frosts, disease and soil exhaustion. The river flats in the Logan River area where many plantations had been located for ease of transport were also prone to flooding.</p><br>
<p>In 1887 a flood washed the whole Davy and Gooding distillery, including a large stock of rum, down the river. However, it was soon re-established after the purchase of a still, said to be from Coulderey&#39;s Ageston distillery at Rocky Point. The Logansholme plant closed at this time, though Ageston kept going until the early 1890s. In 1890 a brick spirit store was constructed at Beenleigh and the building appears to have been built in two stages, though the construction is similar. The Beenleigh Sugar Mill continued in operation as well as the distillery. In 1895, the business appears in the Queensland Post Office Directory as the Albert River Milling and Distillery Co with Albert Kleinschmidt as the manager.</p><br>
<p>In the 1890s milling had become a more specialised process due to technical advances and many of the smaller plantations closed following the recession of this era. The Beenleigh distillery appears to have prospered, however, and in 1899 Beenleigh rum won a gold medal at the London International Fair. By then the brand was well known and sold as far away as Cairns.</p><br>
<p>1904, The Albert River Milling and Distillery Co Limited purchased the land on which the distillery was located and in 1908, the Beenleigh Distillery was listed separately to the mill. In 1912, a new title was issued for the land in the name of Albert Kleinschmidt and in 1917 Thomas Brown and Sons Ltd purchased the business, which operated as the Beenleigh Rum Distillery Pty Ltd. Browns made many changes including the installation of eight large kauri pine vats, remodelling and enlarging the stills and upgrading other machinery. They also used railway transport to bring in molasses from the Isis district, Bingera, Gin Gin and Woongalba. In 1936 the distillery was described as having its own landing and unloading wharf, a complete power plant, cooper&#39;s shop and all necessary facilities to make it a self-contained producer of rum. A flood in 1947 washed away the pump house and a lavatory building.</p><br>
<p>In 1969 the distillery ceased production due to falling demand. However, in 1972 Mervyn Davy and his two sons purchased the distillery and production resumed. The bottling plant was modernised and also bottled whisky, brandy, gin, vodka and ouzo. A new warehouse, office block and showroom were built. The distillery was flooded in 1974 when all records were lost. Applications were lodged with the Council for a new vat store, bottle store and two "houses", only one of which appears to have been constructed. At that time there were two brick warehouses along the road, which are thought to have been constructed in the late 1950s or 1960s. In 1975 the buildings on site comprised the still house, tanks, a brick store and bottling room, an office, two bulk stores and a cellar. A bulk store was proposed.</p><br>
<p>In 1980 the Moran family acquired the complex. They purchased additional land adjacent to the distillery, which underwent major redevelopment and renovation works. A dam was constructed beside the distillery on the site of an earlier dam, which had existed since at least 1908. The floor of the spirit store was excavated and two higher sections were inserted into the roof of the still house, which was painted the bright red it is now. The fermentation vats were removed, but old timber vats were retained, as was the relocated copper still.</p><br>
<p>Rum may be light or darkened by the presence of caramels. The darker rums are usually distilled in "pot stills", which are considered to be less efficient than column distillation, retaining more flavour elements, though this may be desirable in the case of sprits such as rum or whisky, where such elements provide a distinctive character. Rums may also be produced by blending pot and column distilled rums. The pot still at Beenleigh has been in use since 1887, though at least parts of it may be much earlier.</p><br>
<p>Modern continuous distillation columns were added to the still house and new fermentation vats were installed with metal walkways constructed to access their upper levels. The work was completed in 1981. A small museum was created, the exhibits mainly comprising photographs and scale models. At least one timber building was demolished in this development, as were the decorative 19th century gateposts at the main entrance.</p><br>
<p>In 1984 Tarac Industries acquired a controlling interest in the complex, which was modified and extended in a "massive redevelopment". The license of the Twin River Tavern at Eagleby was transferred to the new tavern. The complex had private and public bars, bistros, a restaurant, TAB, drive-in bottle shop, liquor barn, craft shop and other facilities. By 1987 it was referred to as the Beenleigh Distillery and Moran&#39;s Wharf complex and had a tourist park license. Newspapers refer to plans to "update the technology and methods". In 1988 the tavern complex was sold, the distillery being retained by Tarac.</p><br>
<p>A number of distillery buildings were constructed in the 1990s including a large machinery canopy (1992), a warehouse and bottling hall and offices (1994). At this time a warehouse was demolished and in 1996 a new warehouse was added.</p><br>
<p>In 2003 the brand name and existing supplies of bulk spirits were sold to Vok Beverages.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Beenleigh Rum distillery is located on an area of level ground on the bank of the Albert River at Eagleby. It is surrounded by open land and an area between the distillery and the river has been landscaped and has plantings of palm trees. The modern buildings are grouped towards the entrance and are linked by a bitumen-paved area. There is a large dam located next to the still house and spirit store.</p><br>
<p>Most of the buildings on site have been built in the last two decades and are constructed of brick and modern metal sheeting. These comprise offices, storerooms, and a bottling plant. There are also modern storage tanks and walkways. There is a small museum in one of the brick stores.</p><br>
<p>The main distillery building, comprising a brick and timber still house and attached brick spirit stores is the oldest building on site. The spirit store is composed of two joined English bond brick buildings on concrete footings and with modern concrete floors. They have separate hipped roofs clad with corrugated metal sheeting and the interior of the roof of the smaller building has battens suitable for shingles. Both sections have high square windows fitted with iron bars and timber lintels. Large timber vats on masonry stands are still in place in both sections of the store.</p><br>
<p>The still house is built of timber with sections of wall in English bond brick and has a concrete floor. The building is clad in weatherboard over vertical studs and has timber trusses and posts. Ventilation panels have been created below the roof and at waist height by omitting sections of cladding. At the end of the building nearest the river two new higher sections have been inserted creating a tower like effect. This new section has steel trusses and has large square windows towards the river.</p><br>
<p>The distillery is equipped with modern distilling equipment including fermenting vats and column stills; however, the copper pot still remains. The upper levels of the still house are accessed by modern steel stairs and decking. To the rear of the distillery, a canopy has been erected over a steam boiler of unknown date.</p><br>
<p>Beside the distillery is a small rectangular building clad in weatherboard, which has a gabled low-pitched roof clad in corrugated metal sheeting. It is used as a workshop and for some general storage. It also has a two bay garage with roller doors attached.</p><br>
<h2>Heritage listing</h2><br>
<p>Beenleigh Rum Distillery was listed on the Queensland Heritage Register on 6 March 2004 having satisfied the following criteria.</p><br>
<p>The place is important in demonstrating the evolution or pattern of Queensland&apos;s history.</p><br>
<p>The sugar industry has been of great importance to the development of Queensland for its contribution to the economy and to the pattern of European settlement. The Logan area was the site of some of the earliest sugar plantations, mills and distilleries in Queensland. The industry in the area was distinguished from that developing further north by being on a small scale, based on farms and private mills, rather than on large central mills. The Beenleigh Rum Distillery was, until very recently, the oldest working distillery in Queensland. The main distillery buildings are evidence for a major early industrial enterprise in the Logan area, which is linked with an important phase in the development of the sugar industry in Queensland. The Beenleigh plantation, mill and distillery business was a key factor in the development of the town of Beenleigh and the surrounding area.</p><br>
<p>The place demonstrates rare, uncommon or endangered aspects of Queensland&apos;s cultural heritage.</p><br>
<p>The Beenleigh rum distillery is a rare survivor of the early sugar industry in south east Queensland and preserves a 19th century copper pot still which was part of the original equipment of the distillery. It is thought to be the earliest still of this type in Queensland.</p><br>
<p>The place is important because of its aesthetic significance.</p><br>
<p>The distillery complex, particularly the main still house building, is a landmark which stands out from the river flats on which it is built and can readily be seen from the Pacific Highway and from the Albert River.</p><br>
<p>The place has a strong or special association with a particular community or cultural group for social, cultural or spiritual reasons.</p><br>
<p>The Beenleigh distillery is a focus of memory for many people who have worked there or whose forebears have worked there and it is closely associated with the identity of the area by the local community.</p><br>
<p>Mount St. Ursula  or Plešivec  is the easternmost peak of the Karawanks. It lies between the towns of Slovenj Gradec and Črna na Koroškem. There are three villages on the slopes of the mountain: Uršlja Gora, Podgora, and Zgornji Razbor. The mountain offers a panoramic view towards all of Carinthia, the Kozjak Mountains, and the Kamnik–Savinja Alps. Below the peak of Mount St. Ursula stands the Gothic St. Ursulas Church , a TV mast tower, a mountain lodge , 1,670 m), and a monument to the soldiers fallen in World War I. The name Plešivec  derives from its grey limestone peak.</p><br>

<p>The Triglav Lodge at Kredarica   is the highest mountain hut in Slovenia and the highest meteorological station in the country. It stands on a small plateau just under the peak of Kredarica, an elevation in the ridge between Mt. Rjavina and Mt. Triglav. In the vicinity stands also a chapel dedicated to Our Lady of the Snows and a few metres away, there is a small cave named Ivačič Cave.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first hut, named Triglav Hut (Triglavska koča), was built in 1896 upon an idea by Jakob Aljaž. Later it was expanded three times and it is now one of the largest mountain huts in Slovenia. It can accept 200 hikers or more. In 1909, the Ljubljana Matica Alpine Club enlarged the hut and renamed it Triglav Lodge (Triglavski dom). In 1954 it was enlarged again due to the increased number of visits after World War II. For the last time it was enlarged in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Operation</h2><br>
<p>The lodge is open to visitors all year round. Most visitors come from the end of June to the end of September. Outside the main season the residential meteorologists handle the visitors. The hut is managed by Ljubljana Matica Alpine Club. There is no cable car, and the hut is supplied by helicopters of the Slovenian Armed Forces.</p><br>
<p>The Ljubljana Matica Alpine Club&#39;s goal is to reduce the environmental impact of the hut. In 1992 they built photovoltaic power station and in 1998 a small wind generator. In 1992 they set up a base station and fixed the telephone line.</p><br>

<p>Tate Springs Springhouse is a Victorian-style springhouse southwest of Bean Station, Tennessee, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The springhouse is one of the last remnants from Tate Springs Resort, a popular resort of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. A grand hotel, accommodating 500 guests, was built at the site after the Civil War by Samuel Tate, who had acquired 2,500 acre of land surrounding a mineral spring. In the late 1870s, an entrepreneur called Captain Thomas Tomlinson bought the property from Tate and expanded it into a "world-class resort" to take advantage of the mineral springs. Facilities included an elegant ballroom, a billiards room, riding stables, a swimming pool, tennis courts, a 100 acre park and an 18-hole golf course. In addition to hosting visitors at the resort, Tomlinson promoted Tate Springs mineral water as a curative and sold it by mail order under the name Tate Epson Water.</p><br>
<p>The resort had its peak popularity between the 1890s and 1920s, when the Knoxville and Bristol Railway, known as the "Peavine Railroad," provided passenger rail connections to the site. The hotel was demolished in 1936.</p><br>
<p>The main hotel resort building burned Feb. 18, 1963 after becoming the Kingswood School and undergoing construction. From the Morristown Gazette Newspaper dated 2/18/1963.</p><br>
<p>The Rovasenda is a 38 km long stream  of Piedmont, in north-western Italy. It&#39;s a left side tributary of the Cervo which flows through the provinces of Biella and Vercelli.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The Rovasenda is formed in the eastern and hilly part of the Alpi Biellesi from the confluence of three streams; Riale Ravasanella, Rio Valnava and Rio della Valle. The stream is initially named Torrente Giara and gets the name of Torrente Rovasenda near a town of the same name, Rovasenda. Heading south it crosses the Baraggia heathland and then the paddy fields of the province of Vercelli. Near Villarboit the Rovasenda is overpassed by Canale Cavour (one of the main irrigation canals in Italy) through a water bridge.</p><br>
<p>In its lowest course the stream receives the waters of several small canals and part of its water is diverted for irrigation purposes. Not far from Collobiano the Rovasenda end its course flowing into the river Cervo at 141.1 matres s.l.m.</p><br>
<p>Hailongtun is a ruined fortress on the Longyan Mountain, in Hailongtun Village, Gaoping Town, Zunyi City, Guizhou Province, China. It was the stronghold of the Bozhou Tusi until its destruction by the Ming dynasty after the Bozhou rebellion. Hailongtun is an example of a well-preserved medieval castle in China. It is one of the three Tusi sites designated by the UNESCO as a World Heritage Site on July 3, 2015.</p><br>
<p>Hailongtun was established in 1257 during the Southern Song dynasty. It served as the stronghold of the Bozhou Tusi (native chieftdom), ruled by the Yang family, from the Southern Song to the Ming dynasty. In the 28th year of the Wanli reign (1600), the Ming defeated the Bozhou rebellion, with the last tusi Yang Yinglong committing suicide and the castle was burned down.</p><br>
<p>The castle occupies a total area of 1.59 km&sup2, with 6 eastern and 3 western passes and walls nearly 6 km long. It is surrounded by cliffs on all four sides with only one entrance from the mountain road. The pass on the mountain side was known as the Feihu Pass. The one to the east was called Feilong Pass. At the foot of the right hill is a copper column pass, whereas at the base of the left hill is the iron column pass.</p><br>
<p>The castle&#39;s architecture reflects its strategic importance. The city gates were flanked by archer’s towers. Although there is nothing to support the tale, it is said that once a large stone wall, wide enough to allow horses to gallop on it, connected all of the passes. A deep moat surrounded the city.</p><br>
<p>Tangascootack Creek  is a tributary of the West Branch Susquehanna River in Clinton County, Pennsylvania in the United States. Tangascootack Creek stretches for 8.48 mi through Bald Eagle, Beech Creek and Colebrook Townships. Its watershed covers 36.5 square miles. Among its tributaries are North Fork Tangascootack Creek and Muddy Run, and there is also a swamp called Bear Swamp near the headwaters. Coal mining, including strip mining, was common in the watershed throughout the 1800s and 1900s. The creek experiences acid mine drainage, much of which comes from Muddy Run.</p><br>
<p>The watershed is mostly forest and sparsely populated. Historically, the area supports industry in agriculture, lumbering, and coal and iron mining. Native American crucibles have been discovered along the Creek.</p><br>
<p>Minerals in the watershed are mostly bituminous coal, fireclay, sandstone and slate. The daily loads of aluminum and manganese are both many times higher than the creek&#39;s total maximum daily load. The conductance of the creek ranges from 93.7 to 549 micro-siemens per centimeter. The creek is one of the most downstream tributaries of the West Branch Susquehanna River contributing acid mine drainage to it.</p><br>
<p>Pocono sandstone can also be found in the watershed, and bituminous coal formations known as the Clarion Formation, the Lower Kittanning Formation and the Eagleton Coal field also exist in the creek&#39;s watershed. The valley of Tangascootack Creek is the only place in Bald Eagle Township where there are significant deposits of minerals.</p><br>
<p>The middle and upper reaches of Tangascootack Creek are nearly devoid of life due to acid mine drainage. However, the headwaters have some aquatic life, as they are further upstream. Brook trout and three other species of fish inhabit the creek. 13 species of benthic macroinvertebrate also inhabit it.</p><br>
<h2>Course</h2><br>
<p>Tangascootack Creek is 8.48 mi long. The creek flows northeast from the marshland of Beech Creek Township, in Sproul State Forest, near the border between Clinton County and Centre County. It passes strip mines and Bear Swamp before entering Bald Eagle Township. It then flows past more strip mines before entering into a gradually deepening gorge. Over the next few miles, it makes several meanders before being joined by its tributary North Fork Tangascootack Creek and eventually the tributary Bird Run. The creek briefly enters Colebrook Township before flowing into the West Branch Susquehanna River, 2 mi west of Farrandsville.</p><br>
<h3>Tributaries</h3><br>
<p>Tangascootack Creek has a major tributary, North Fork Tangascootack Creek, a minor tributary called Muddy Run and at least two that are unnamed.</p><br>
<h2>Hydrology</h2><br>
<p>A 2011 study found an aluminium concentration of 1.12 milligrams per liter near the confluence with Muddy Run. This equates to 23.8 pounds (10.8 kilograms) per day, far greater that the 6.4 lb total maximum daily load that is allowed under United States water quality standards. The iron concentration is 0.87 milligrams per liter, or 18.5 lb per day. The concentration of manganese is 15.19 milligrams per liter, or 322.9 lb per day, 101 times higher than the maximum load of 3.22 lb per day allowed by the Environmental Protection Agency.</p><br>
<p>Just above the creek&#39;s confluence with North Fork Tangascootack Creek, the aluminum concentration is 0.4 milligrams per liter and the daily load is 16.2 lb. The concentration of iron is 0.08 milligrams per liter, or 3.2 lb per day. The concentration of manganese is 3.32 milligrams per liter and the load is 133.3 lb per day. This is only about seven times higher than the maximum allowable load, much less than the manganese load near Muddy Run.</p><br>
<p>Near Muddy Run, the concentration of acidity is 27.44 milligrams per liter, which equates to a load of 583.4 lb per day and upstream of North Fork Tangascootack Creek, the concentration is 7.80 milligrams per liter and the daily load is 313.3 lb.</p><br>
<p>The conductance of Tangascootack Creek at several sites in 2010 ranged from 93.7 micro-siemens per centimeter at the site T-0.5 to 549 micro-siemens per centimeter at the site T-2 and the average was 357.4 micro-siemens per centimeter. The water temperature of the creek was measured at two sites downstream of Muddy Run in July 2010. It was 11.4 &deg;C and 11.7 &deg;C at the sites.</p><br>
<p>Traveling downstream, Tangascootack Creek is one of the last streams to contribute acid mine drainage to the West Branch Susquehanna River.</p><br>
<h2>Watershed</h2><br>
<p>Tangascootack Creek&#39;s watershed covers 36.4 square miles (94 km) in the southern part of Clinton County, half of which is the watershed for North Fork Tangascootack Creek. A small amount of the watershed, less than 1%, has occasional residential uses, including sport camps and summer retreats. In formerly strip-mined areas there are patches of grassland and reforestation. Almost all of the area that is considered impaired by the Environmental Protection Agency, is forested. However, in areas where strip mining was done in the past, there are patches of grassland or reforested land. This land includes sports camps and summer retreats.</p><br>
<h2>Geography and geology</h2><br>
<p>The Tangascootack Creek valley is the only part of Bald Eagle Township that has significant amounts of minerals. Sandstones and conglomerates are visible on escarpments on the sides of the creek. Pocono sandstone is found on both the main stem and North Fork Tangascootack Creek, but no Mauch Chunk red shale is found near either branch. Coal formations in the creeks watershed include the Clarion formation, the Lower Kittaning formation, and the Eagleton coal field. Brown sandstone from the surface to 35 ft down, blue slate from about 55 ft to 66 ft down, and fireclay from 66 ft to 76 ft down are also found in the rocks on the creek. Two to three feet of coal are below the fireclay and 4 to 5.5 feet are below the brown sandstone. The coal in the creeks watershed is bituminous coal.</p><br>
<p>A bed of coal known as the middle bed was observed in the 1800s to be found near the mouth of Tangascootack Creek, as well as in other locations. This bed ranged from 4 in to 48 in thick and contained iron pyrite as well. It was at least 107 ft underground. An 1854 report estimated that there were 27,878,400 lb of workable coal near Tangascootack Creek.</p><br>
<p>The Tangascootack Creek watershed consists chiefly of valleys and rolling and broken hills. The creeks river channel is relatively sinuous. It is mostly sandstone and shale with some coal. The slope of the creek is 65.3 ft per mile, and its mouths elevation is 554 ft above sea level.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>A settler named Dan Jones was killed by Indians on Tangascootack Creek in late fall 1777. In 1854, James Wilson discovered several crudely constructed crucibles in a place known as the Rock Cavern on Tangascootack Creek.</p><br>
<p>Around 1840, the canal commissioners of a canal on the West Branch Susquehanna River received instructions to extend the canal as far as the mouth of Tangascootack Creek.</p><br>
<p>Mining in the creeks watershed began in 1844. A number of mining villages existed in the Tangascootack Creek watershed between 1845 and 1870. In the mid-1850s the Farrandsville Iron Company purchased large amounts of land in several places, including along Tangascootack Creek. In 1870 all of the mines in the area closed and lumbering became the areas most significant industry, with millions of board feet being floated downstream. The railroad tracks were removed and the mine buildings were abandoned or burned down. However, deep mining of the Clarion coal formation and the Lower Kittaning coal formation in the Tangascootack Creek watershed began in the 1800s and continued into the early 1900s. Strip mining operations began in the 1950s and 1960s, with some of the deep mines and surface mines being remined in the 1980s. The Independent Regulatory Review Commission issued a statement in the summer of 1987, saying that part of the North Fork Tangascootack Creek watershed was no longer suitable for surface mining. Treatment of the watershed began as early as 1998. Several projects devoted to improving the water quality of the creek had begun by 2001, by which point several more projects were planned. At least one of these projects involves the use of biosolids to encourage vegetation growth.</p><br>
<p>A gristmill built at the mouth of the creek was one of the first manufacturing buildings on the West Branch Susquehanna River upstream of Big Island. In 1864 a large sawmill was constructed on Tangascootack Creek a short distance above the mouth and several years later a shingle mill was built in the area. The sawmill was also expanded and six dams were constructed on the creek. The total cost of this project was $100,000. Agriculture was another industry that was practiced in the area of the creek in the early 1900s. In 1859 the Sunbury and Erie Railroad went into the creek&#39;s valley.</p><br>
<p>In the late 1800s, lumbering on North Fork Tangascootack Creek was a viable industry and the historic community of Eagleton was in the Tangascootack Creek valley. In the early 20th century, the Pennsylvania Railroad passed through the Tangascootack Creek basin. During this time, the Scootac Railway ran alongside the upper reaches of the creek.</p><br>
<p>John Reaville said around 1940 that the Tangascootack Creek valley is the "only one in Pennsylvania with four deserted villages that once flourished so promisingly on the eastern base of the great bituminous coal fields of Pennsylvania and marked its progress westward."</p><br>
<h3>Etymology</h3><br>
<p>"Tangascootac" is a Native American word for "a foe" and also refers to a Nanticoke chief. The creek has sometimes been called Scootack</p><br>
<h2>Biology</h2><br>
<p>Tangascootack Creek is considered to be a cold water fishery. The tributary North Fork Tangascootack Creek has significant trout and macroinvertebrate populations. On the main stem of the creek, there are limited numbers of fish and some aquatic ecosystems, though in the middle and upper parts of the creek, there is virtually no life in the water. Near the headwaters and Bear Swamp, there is some aquatic life, as these locations are upstream of the strip mines and acid mine drainage. The main species of fish in the creek are brook trout, Semotilus atromaculatus, Catostomus commersoni, and Rhinichthys atratulus. Young-of-the-Year trout also live in the creek.</p><br>
<p>The quantity of benthic macroinvertebrates at sites in Tangascootack Creek has been measured by the West Branch Susquehanna Restoration Coalition using different systems. These sites included designations T-1 and T-2&mdash;the main creek just above and below the entry of Muddy Run, respectively&mdash;and T-3 which is further downstream from T-2. Total taxa richness, as measured by the organization, ranged from 3 at sites T-2 and T-3 to 7 at site T-1, with an average of 4.3. The EPT Taxa Richness (measured on a scale of 0 to 4) ranged from 0 at sites T-2 and T-3 to 2 at site T-1, with an average of 0.7. The scores of the sites according to version 3 of the Beck’s Index (twice the number of pollution-intolerant benthos taxa plus the number of facultative benthos taxa) ranged from 0 at sites T-2 and T-3 to 6 at site T-1. On the Hilsenhoff Biotic Index (a method of determining a stream&#39;s ecosystem quality based on its benthic macroinvertebrates), the sites ranged from 3.538 for site T-1 to 6.2 for site T-2, with an average of 5.024. On the Shannon index, the sites ranged from 0.950 at site T-2 to 1.925 at site T-3, with an average of 1.325.</p><br>
<p>The West Branch Susquehanna Restoration Coalition measured several sites on Tangascootack Creek based on their habitat quality. The assessment measured 12 different values, including instream cover and the width of the riparian zone on a scale of 0 to 240. The site T-1 had a score of 203 and the site T-3 had a score of 198. Both were considered optimal habitats. However, T-2 had a score of 179, making it a suboptimal habitat.</p><br>
<p>A total of 13 benthic macroinvertebrates were observed by the West Branch Susquehanna Restoration Coalition at site T-1. Five were observed at site T-2 and three were observed at site T-3. The benthic macroinvertebrates included two specimens each of Leuctra, Palpomyia, Dicranota, Diplectrona, and Hydropsyche Chironomidae. One specimen of Sialis was observed. The benthic macroinvertebrates included three specimens of Chironomidae, and one each of Tipula and Trepobates. The benthic macroinvertebrates included one specimen each of Chironomidae, Hydropsyche, and Ceratopsyche.</p><br>
<p>The Fresno Bee Building is an historic 5-story building located at Van Ness and Calaveras Street in downtown Fresno, California. It was built in 1922 by architect Leonard F. Starks to house the offices and printery for The Fresno Bee newspaper.</p><br>
<p>The building underwent numerous modifications, the natural consequence of growth and changes in the newspaper and printing industries. The 1922 structure remained virtually original until 1936 when an addition was constructed to accommodate an enlarged engraving department and studio space for radio station KMJ. Designed by Fresno architectural firm Franklin and Kump, the four-floor addition was connected to the building at the south elevation. The most significant modification came in 1951, when a new entrance wing and pressroom were designed by Lockwood Greene and Dunbar Beck.</p><br>
<p>The newspaper relocated in 1975 leaving the building abandoned for many years. From 1981 to 1984, members of the community raised more than $5.5 million to open the Fresno Metropolitan Museum inside the building. The Museum opened its doors on April 8, 1984. In August 2005, the museum began an extensive interior renovation. The museum reopened on November 13, 2008. The $28 million renovation project brought the historic building into the 21st century with more accessible gallery space, new restroom facilities and elevators, and remodeled fourth and fifth floors. The building underwent significant structural enhancements, specifically on the west wall from the footings below the basement up to the fifth floor. The existing support columns consisting of steel reinforced concrete were enhanced in the basement and first floor. On January 5, 2010, the museum closed due to its inability to pay off the increasing deficit from the renovation and operations. The City of Fresno became the new owners of the building.</p><br>
<p>The Fresno Bee building sat vacant until April 13, 2012, when the Community Media Access Collaborative (CMAC) located its public, educational, and government access television station on the second floor. CMAC constructed a 900 square foot television studio in the former museum&#39;s main exhibit space which extends into the third floor, and created classroom and office spaces. As of May 2015, the first, fourth, and fifth floors are not occupied.</p><br>
<p>The Antrim County Courthouse is a government building located on South Cayuga Street in Bellaire, Michigan . It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1974 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It was designed in 1879, but construction did not begin until 1904. As of 2014, it houses the Antrim County courts and prosecuting attorney.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Antrim County was first laid out in 1840, although the first known settler did not arrive until 1846, when Abram S. Wadsworth began living near the location of what is now the Elk Rapids Township Hall. However, Elk Rapids, the oldest settlement, was selected as the county seat, and in 1866 a small wooden courthouse was built there.</p><br>
<p>However, the county was quickly growing, and there was a push to move the county seat from Elk Rapids, which was located in one corner of the county, to a more central location. However, the close vote spurred legal challenges, and the county seat selection was appealed all the way to the Michigan Supreme Court. This, and other related legal wrangling, delayed construction for 25 years. Temporary facilities in Bellaire were used until that time.</p><br>
<p>The county seat choice was eventually finalized after another vote, and this courthouse was built from Peterson&#39;s original plans by the firm of Waterman and Price in 1904–1905 at a cost of $30,000. A clock, manufactured by the E. Howard Company of Boston, was installed in 1921. A bell manufactured by the E. VanDuzen Company of Cincinnati was installed in 1922.</p><br>
<p>In 1977, a new courthouse was constructed to meet the growing needs of the community, and county offices moved the next year. The county courts and prosecuting attorney took up residence in 1992.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Antrim County Courthouse is a rectangular, -story, Late Victorian-eclectic, red-brick structure on a gray sandstone foundation with a hip roof and gray sandstone trim. The galvanized steel cornice has been painted and sanded to match the stone trim. A clock tower, over 100 ft high, projects from the roof; a clock dial of 5 ft in diameter is located at the top.</p><br>
<p>The Holtz Site, designated 20AN26 is an archaeological site located near Bellaire, Michigan. It is located on an island in the Intermediate River near Bellaire, Michigan. The site is surrounded by low, swampy areas.</p><br>
<p>The site was excavated in 1967 by researchers from Michigan State University. Artifacts found on the site indicate it was a Middle Woodland period encampment, dating to around AD 200-400. It was likely inhabited for a short time by people from southern Michigan who traveled north for a season.</p><br>
<p>The site was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1970 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<p>Five different features were discovered at the site. These were:</p><br>
<p>A small hearth measuring about 1.4 by 1.5 feet.</p><br>
<p>A concentration of pot sherds.</p><br>
<p>A modern fire pit.</p><br>
<p>Materials associated with hearth activities, but no the hearth itself.</p><br>
<p>A second concentration of pottery.</p><br>
<p>Lake Barracoota is a naturally forming permanent freshwater lake located in the East Gippsland region in the Australian state of Victoria. The lake is located entirely within the Croajingolong National Park and when full, the surface area of the lake is 240 hectare.</p><br>
<p>The eastern shoreline of the lake lie against a granite spur of the Howe Range but all other shorelines are backed by dune sand or swamp deposits. Beaches at the eastern and western shores and spits along the southern shore are formed from sand blown into the lake from coastal dunes and which is being moved by wave and wave currents. Sand is spilling into the lake from active parabolic dunes at two points along the southern shore. Other lake shorelines are fringed by Baumea rubiginosa, Eleocharis sphacelata and Trigloching procera, with Phragmites australis at points of fresh water inflow. Behind the reeds and sedges are extensive thickets.</p><br>
<p>Stream Passage Pot is one of the entrances to the Gaping Gill system being located about 320 m ESE of Gaping Gill Main Shaft. It is a popular and sporting entrance into the system, featuring three well-watered big shafts. It is the highest entrance of the Gaping Gill system, so the full depth of the system, 198 m, is measured from its entrance. It lies within the designated Ingleborough Site of Special Scientific Interest.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Stream Passage Pot is at the end of a blind valley. The water sinks to one side of the valley before the end, and the entrance is through a boulder ruckle down a vertical lined shaft for 6 m. An awkward passage soon terminates in a small pitch 6 m into a chamber where the stream enters. A high meandering passage from the chamber leads after about 200 m to a 85 m deep rift which is descended in three stages. The descent route involves traversing and technical rope rigging to avoid the waterfalls. The last pitch drops into Stream Passage in Gaping Gill.</p><br>
<p>The water flows through Stream Passage into Stream Chamber. From here a route to the right follows a succession of chambers towards Gaping Gill Main Chamber, but the stream works its way through a boulder ruckle in Stream Chamber to a lower stream passage and the final pitch of 15 m, known as Mud Pot. At the bottom is a sump which has been dived to a depth of 9 m and distance of 67 m. The water is next seen in the deep pool at the bottom of South-East Pot below the final pitch of Flood Entrance Pot.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The cave was dug into on 10 March 1949, and explored by the Northern Pennine Club during the following Easter weekend. The entrance became blocked in the early 1980s, and in 1984 it was re-opened by the Bradford Pothole Club who installed the current galvanised tubing through the unstable boulder ruckle in the shakehole.</p><br>
<p>In November 1979 the cave became the centre of a major rescue when Jeremy Peterson went missing on a solo pull-through trip. He was found alive and well after 57 hours, having gone off route and fallen down the Mud Pot pitch. He had fractured a wrist and was badly bruised, and the only food he had during his ordeal was a Mars Bar. In 1989 Andrea Wynne was rescued after she fell 19 m when she came to the end of the rope when abseiling down a 34 m pitch, sustaining head injuries, a fractured arm, cuts and bruises. She subsequently provided an account of her experience.</p><br>
<p>Yanıkhan is an archaeological site in Mersin Province, Turkey.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Yanıkhan is situated in the rural area of Erdemli district which is rich in archaeological ruins. It is about 5 km northwest of Limonlu town. It is to the east of Limonlu-Esenpınar road and west of Limonlu River at about 36&deg;35&prime;N latitude, 34&deg;12&prime;E longitude. Its distance to Erdemli is 18 km and to Mersin is 54 km.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The original name of the site is not known. But according to archaeological evidence it is a 5th and 6th century Byzantine site. First reference to its existence was by Professor Michael Gough in 1959.</p><br>
<h2>Archaeology</h2><br>
<p>Yanıkhan was a village. There are more than 30 house ruins. The most important building is a basilica. Although the houses are completely demolished a part of the basilica survives. In addition to main abscissa there are two minor abscissas. There are two sarcophagi. One may be an arcosolium which may belong to a certain Georgios Konon Chrisyophoros who, according to an inscription, was the commissioner of the basilica. There is also a cistern to the west of the basilica. 100 m to the east of the basilica there is another church (called Church B by the archaeologists).</p><br>

<p>Gulafjorden is a fjord in Gulen Municipality in Sogn og Fjordane county, Norway. The historic Gulating assemblies in medieval Norway took place in this area. Today, there are several salmon fish farms in the fjord.</p><br>
<p>The 8 km long fjord flows from the Sognesjøen strait to the east towards the mainland. The islands of Byrknesøyna, Mjømna, and Sandøyna lie along the southern side of the fjord. The island of Hiserøyna lies on the northern side of the fjord. The village of Eivindvik, the municipal centre of Gulen lies on the mainland, along the northern coast of the fjord.</p><br>
<p>The fjord ends by splitting into three branches: the Eidsfjorden flows to the south, the Nordgulfjorden flows to the north, and the Austgulfjorden flows to the east. When you measure distance of the main fjord and the Austgulfjorden (the longest of its branches), it is 22 km long.</p><br>
<p>David Reed  was an American pioneer in the early history of Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<p>He was a squatter on land owned by George Washington in Washington County, Pennsylvania. The land had been given to Washington in the District of West Augusta by the Colony of Virginia in consideration of his service during the French and Indian War.</p><br>
<p>In 1777, David Reed, his brother John Reed, brother-in-law Samuel McBride (husband of David Reed&#39;s sister Lydia) and several other Seceder (or Associate) Presbyterians, moved from Lancaster County to what later became Washington County, Pennsylvania, to take possession of land that they believed themselves to have purchased from a Colonel George Croghan, who himself had established an early British American trading post in the Ohio Country before the French and Indian War.</p><br>
<p>In 1784, following the end of his service in the Continental Army, Washington traveled to survey his land holdings. Reed and other Scotch-Irish pioneers/squatters had arrived in the 1770s and had settled the land, building fences, log cabins, and communities, which they felt gave them the right to the land. The group referred to themselves as Seceders, an 18th-century movement within Scottish Presbyterian which spread to the North of Ireland. Washington was intent on enforcing his legal rights to collect back rent. Attempts were made to arrive at a peaceful solution. On September 14, 1784, Washington met with the squatters at his gristmill near present-day Venice. On September 20, 1784, a second meeting was held between Washington, Reed and a group 13 of other squatters. The efforts were ultimately unsuccessful. The meeting was recorded in Washington&#39;s journal thusly:</p><br>
<p>In October 1786, a trial on the issue was held in Washington, Pennsylvania, with Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice Thomas McKean riding circuit as the presiding judge. Though Washington won the suit, he absolved the settlers of back rent, asking only for future rent. Many of the Seceder squatters left the area in response. The Reed brothers acquired farms in Cecil township in Washington County. Samuel McBride settled on a farm in what later became Lawrence County, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<p>In 1950, the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission erected a historic marker at the site of his log cabin near Venice, Pennsylvania noting the historic importance of Reed and the squatters. The historical marker mistakenly identifies the Washington County squatters as Covenanters.</p><br>
<p>Reeds descendents include James A. Reed and David A. Reed. One of Samuel and Lydia (Reed) McBrides descendants, Grace Elizabeth (McBride) Crile (1876-1948), was the wife of George Washington Crile.</p><br>
<p>The Dewey House, also referred to as Building 29, North Chicago VA Medical Center, is a historic building at the Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center in North Chicago, Illinois. Designed by David Adler, the Georgian Revival mansion was commissioned by future United States Representative Charles S. Dewey.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Charles S. Dewey, a real estate developer who would later be elected to the United States House of Representatives, commissioned David Adler to design the building in 1913. Dewey came to know Adler as he designed houses for two family friends. It was built down the road from the Naval Station Great Lakes, where Dewey was stationed during World War I. Dewey named the house "Over Yonder" and requested that it be designed in the Georgian Revival style. Completed in 1914, the Dewey family lived in the mansion until 1918.</p><br>
<p>While Dewey was stationed aboard the USS Mississippi, his house was claimed by the government through eminent domain in an effort to expand the naval base. Dewey&#39;s wife was forced to evacuate the house by the end of the year. In 1921, the Deweys were awarded a compensation of $192,950 for the acquisition of the land. Later that year, the United States Department of Veterans Affairs was established and, on April 17, 1924, the property was transferred to the agency. When the Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center was established, the Dewey House became known as Building 29 on the campus. The hospital split the former Dewey House into ten apartments for personnel.</p><br>
<p>The National Park Service determined that Dewey House was eligible for the National Register of Historic Places on August 8, 1980. The building was listed on the register on May 8, 1985.</p><br>
<p>Lake Roberge is located in the municipality of Grandes-Piles, in the MRC Mekinac Regional County Municipality, in Mauricie, in Quebec, in Canada.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Very elongated and narrow shape, lake Roberge (Grandes-Piles) is 3.4 km of length in the northwest axis to the southeast. The maximum width is 200 m. in northern section. The lake is divided into four sections; the most important is the section of the South. Lake Roberge Valley (Grandes-Piles) is embedded between mountains in the territory of Grandes-Piles, almost at the limit of Saint-Roch-de-Mékinac.</p><br>
<p>From the mouth of Lake Roberge (located at the south end of the lake), the “Little Mekinac north river” flowing in forest area to the southeast on 6.1 km (relatively in straight line, except for a few curves) to the boundary of Saint-Tite. This river flows into the Rivière des Envies, in the territory of Saint-Tite.</p><br>
<p>A segment of the Route 159 in Saint-Tite and Saint-Roch-de-Mékinac, is along the entire lake south-east. This valley is a must to travel between the area of the Saint-Maurice River and Rivière des Envies (in Saint-Tite).</p><br>
<p>The "Second Roberge Lake" is located in the territory of Saint-Roch-de-Mékinac, one km northwest of Lake Roberge (Grandes-Piles), in the same valley. This second lake Roberge is part of the watershed of the Saint-Maurice River.</p><br>
<p>The “Fountain Lake Road” connects to the Route 159 between these two lakes. The "Fountain Lake road" goes to the north-east and connects to "Joseph Saint-Amant road" in Sainte-Thècle. "Fountain Lake Road" serves a series of lakes in Grandes-Piles, including the "lake Équerre", "lake fountain", "Little lake Dorval", lake Nicolas and "lac à Pierre".</p><br>
<p>The “chemin du lac des îles (Island Lake Road)” that connects to Route 159 at the intersection of path Fountain Lake runs south to serve the Lake Clair, the “Lake of the Isles” and some other small lakes. In parallel, the “path of Clear Lake” serves the eastern part of the lake of the same name.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the story, “Fountain Lake Road” and “Joseph Saint-Amant road” were vital for cutting and transporting timber, the resort and the tourist activities including hunting and fishing.</p><br>
