<p>Carhue House  is a country house in the townland of Carhoo Lower, situated 2.2 km west of Coachford village. The house and demesne were dominant features in the rural landscape of Ireland, throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Location often reflected the distribution of better land, and this is evidenced in mid-Cork, where many of these houses are situated along the valley of the River Lee and its tributaries.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage describes it as a detached five-bay, three-storey house, built c. 1750, having a pedimented central bay to the front, a two-storey extension to the rear, and a recent front porch addition. The gabled chimney-stacks, lack of depth in plan and pedimented breakfront are said to indicate an early construction date, with the window proportions, door opening and breakfront being typical of its time. Parkland once existing to the south of Carhue House has been lost to river erosion following the River Lee hydroelectric scheme of the late 1950s.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>It was once the residence of the Coppinger family. The accompanying terrier to the Down Survey map (1656-8) lists Thomas and Edmund Coppinger as proprietors by way of mortgage of Carrooe. Lewiss Topographical Dictionary of Ireland (1837) describes Carhue as being the seat of J. Rye Coppinger, Esq. The tithe applotment book for the parish of Magourney records John Rye Coppinger, Esq. of Lower Carhue&#39; as occupying c. 275 acres of titheable land.</p><br>
<p>The mid-nineteenth century Primary Valuation of Ireland (Griffiths Valuation) records Henry T. Coppinger, Esq. as occupying in fee simple c. 154 acres in Carhoo Lower townland, consisting of a house, offices (dilapidated), land and some 6 acres of water. Henry T. Coppinger also appears to lease c. 126 acres within the townland, during this time, to James Wiseman, consisting of offices, land&#39; and some 2 acres of water.</p><br>
<p>Indications of financial distress surfaced at Carhue following the Great Famine (Ireland). By February 1850, the farm interest of George Foott had been surrendered and the stock, crops, implements and furniture put up for auction without reserve. Foott had previously secured a loan for £100 in 1848 under the Land Improvement Act. The house, offices and demesne of Carhue were offered for lease in March 1850, comprising 290 acres of pasture and tillage, with 50 acres suitable for oats or barley, having been cropped with turnips and carrots that season, and the lands described as highly cultivated and employed for dairy farming for years. That part held by Foott, comprising 140 acres, was available for lease separately. On 9 April 1850 a large quantity of oak, ash, elm, beech and scyamore was put up for auction without reserve at Carhue. By 29 June 1852 an unreserved auction was scheduled for the sale of Carhue demesne including fourteen acres of wheat, nine acres of barley, ten acres of oats, sixty acres of meadow, ten acres of potatoes, some turnips and carrots, a quantity of hay and straw, livestock, farm implements, and household furniture.</p><br>
<p>On 14 February 1856 an encumbered estates notice issued for sale by auction on 17 April 1856 of part of the lands of Carhue, including the sub-denominations known as Coultimorreghue & Keelteanagh, and containing c. 284 acres and a house and offices held in fee simple. The house and demesne were in the owner&#39;s occupation and the remaining lands occupied by one tenant, with both leases to expire following the sale. The lands were said to produce an annual profit of £221 16s. 7d., with the demesne containing mature timber, excellent lands suitable for pasture and tillage, and an abundant supply of water. The house had also recently been repaired. On 16 May 1856, a Memorandum of Agreement was noted between Thomas Stephen Coppinger and John Galwey of Fort Richard, Co Cork, affecting the lands of Oughteherrybeg, Carhue, Coultimorroghue and Keelteenagh, which were subsequently granted by the Commissioners to Thomas Stephen Coppinger by Deed of Conveyance dated 5 July 1856, in consideration of £5,525 being paid into the Bank of Ireland to the credit of the Estate of Henry Coppinger. In consideration of £3,000, John Galwey then released a charge over the lands by Deed of Release dated 26 July 1856. Thomas Stephen Coppinger then disposed of his interest in Carhue and other lands to George Charles Edward Colthurst of Dripsey Castle by Deed of Conveyance dated 14 August 1856, in consideration of payment of £6,750. On the same day, Colthurst by Deed of Mortgage and in consideration of £2,300 disposed of lands (including Carhue) to Peggy Colthurst of Dripsey Castle.</p><br>
<p>During the mid 1870s, John Good was residing at the property. Slaters 1894 Royal National Directory of Ireland refers to it as the seat of John H. Colthurst. Burkes Genealogical and Heraldic Dictionary of 1904 records George Colthurst (born 1811) of Carhue House.</p><br>
<p>Today, it remains a private residence, and is not accessible to the public.</p><br>
<p>Glashagarriff Bridge situated 2.8 km west of Coachford village in County Cork, Ireland is the meeting point of four townlands , two catholic parishes  and two civil parishes .</p><br>
<p>Referred to as Clashgarriff Br. on the 1841 surveyed OS map, and Glashagarriff Br. on the 1901 surveyed OS map, the bridge spans the Glashagarriff River before it joins the River Lee a short distance to the south. Glashagarriff is an anglicised version of the Irish Glaise Gharbh (meaning ‘rough streamlet). Smith in 1750, refers to the Glashigarriff river. The Ordnance Survey name book (c. 1840) gives various versions such as Clashgorrave, Closhagorrave, Closhagorriff and Closhagorriv&#39;, and describes the river as rising out of the bogs of Doneens and Lyroe, flowing between the parishes of Aghinagh, Aghabollogue and Magourney, and falling into the River Lee to the south. An Irish Tourist Association survey of 1944 refers to the Glashagarriff river as having brown trout and freshwater eels, but no salmon angling, nor permit for trout fishing required.</p><br>
<p>Many surviving bridges in mid-Cork are originally constructed of stone, arched in shape, and late eighteenth or early nineteenth century in date. Typical features include semi-circular arches and pointed breakwaters. Earlier bridges are often narrower, although some were widened at a later stage.</p><br>
<p>St Matthews Anglican Church is a heritage-listed church and cemetery at 35 Church Road, Mitchelton, City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It was designed by Charles Tiffin and built from 1867 to 1869 by Mr Mahoney. It is also known as Grovely Church, as it is within the Parish of Grovely . It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The land was owned by John and Mary Nicholson, landed gentry from Wiltshire, England who emigrated to Queensland in 1864 and established themselves at Groveley Farm (later Groveley Lodge), Upper Kedron (the extra e in Groveley was dropped in later years). As there was no church in the area and being dedicated Anglicans, they established church services and a Sunday school in their home. Early in 1867 they approached Bishop Edward Tufnell for permission to build a local church. The Nicholsons provided the hill-top land and much of the capital while other settlers provided their time and materials. Somewhat unusually the land was not given to the church, but was placed into a private trust. Public subscription was raised to provide funds to build a church.</p><br>
<p>The Nicholsons had approached the Queensland Colonial Architect Charles Tiffin to design a simple timber church to accommodate approximately 130 persons. This design was approved at a meeting of interested Upper Kedron residents held in March 1866, but it was proposed also that local brickmakers (a number of whom had moved to the district in the mid-1860s) be approached to donate bricks for the construction. Tenders were called in April 1867 through the office of the Church of England Diocesan Architect, Richard George Suter, for a church of brick and stone. Mr Mahoney was appointed the contractor.</p><br>
<p>The foundation stone for St Matthews Anglican Church was laid on 23 September 1867 by Governor George Bowen and the first service was held on 7 February 1869. The church was never blessed or consecrated (perhaps because the land was not given to the church). However, it has been used for baptisms, burials and marriages since 1869. In 1885 Johns brother, William Castlemaine Nicholson, converted ownership of the land and church buildings to trustees and they are still privately owned.</p><br>
<p>The church was known as Grovely Church until 1909 when it was given the name of St Matthew&#39;s. In 1914 the bell presented by Howard S Bliss was erected on the bell-post. The church hall was built in 1917, fifty years after the laying of the foundation stone.</p><br>
<p>St Matthew&#39;s became a parochial district in 1920 and the vicarage was built in 1926. The Rev ED Eglinton raised the status of the district to a parish and in December 1947 he was inducted as the first rector of the parish of Grovely. Recently a lichgate was erected to honour a descendant of one of the pioneering families.</p><br>
<p>John and Mary Nicholson are buried in the churchyard cemetery.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The listing on the Queensland Heritage Register comprises all of the buildings, structures, sites, objects, planting and land with the exception of the rectory, which has been altered substantially. The buildings are all painted the same colour and are in good condition. The graveyard is well tendered.</p><br>
<h3>The church</h3><br>
<p>The chuch (built 1867-1869) is a simple Gothic-styled brick building located high on a hill. It is rectangular in shape, as are the skillion vestry and gabled porch. Rendered walls of hand-made bricks are supported by buttresses and rest on stone foundations. The steeply pitched gabled roof has corrugated iron laid over the original shingles. A bellcote surmounts the front gable. The porch and vestry doorways and windows are lancet shaped.</p><br>
<p>Internal walls are painted and the lined roof is supported by exposed beams and trusses. The red cedar pews are original. Over the years memorials have been added, including a commemorative plaque presented in 1917 in memory of the Nicholson&#39;s son drowned in Mackay in 1882.</p><br>
<p>Alterations include external render and boarding over of the trefoil window above the porch. Additions include stained glass memorial windows, an altar and other ecclesiastical furniture, raised sanctuary and chancel steps, nave carpet, lighting and other modern facilities.</p><br>
<h3>The cemetery</h3><br>
<p>The cemetery (used since 1869) holds the graves of many of the early settlers of the Grovely/Upper Kedron district including members of the Nicholson family. Monument styles vary, illustrating changing public tastes since 1869.</p><br>
<h3>The bell post</h3><br>
<p>The bell post (built 1914), comprising a bell which hangs in a cast-iron frame on a timber post. It has rusted and is no longer used.</p><br>
<h3>The hall</h3><br>
<p>The hall (built 1917) is a simple timber and corrugated iron building with skillion roof. It is built on stumps and is highset at the back. The steeply pitched roof is hipped at the back and gabled at the front. The entrance porch has a parapet.</p><br>
<h3>The rectory</h3><br>
<p>The rectory (built 1926) is a timber dwelling on stumps. It has a short-ridge corrugated iron roof and is verandah on two sides. The dwelling has been refurbished by various occupants to suit their needs, and is not included in the heritage listing.</p><br>
<h3>The lychgate</h3><br>
<p>The lychgate (built 1980s), a memorial to Richard Henry Pickering, a trustee of the church, who died in 1976. The gable roof has fibrous cement shingles, while the sides are half stuccoed brick and half carved timber. The open sides repeat the Gothic lancet arch.</p><br>

<p>Brookside Historic District is a national historic district located at Aurora, Preston County, West Virginia. It encompasses 11 contributing buildings, 1 contributing structure, and 1 contributing site in the small community of Aurora. There are five properties included: Brookside Inn/Gaymont , the Brookside Cottages , Cathedral State Park, Brookside Farm , and the Red Horse Tavern . The community was an important example of a turn-of-the-20th century rural retreat with farm. Owners of the resort took advantage of its location close to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and created a respite from the city heat for residents of Washington, Baltimore, Cleveland and other cities.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<p>Morris Memorial Hospital for Crippled Children, also known as Morris Memorial Nursing Home, is a historic hospital building located at Milton, Cabell County, West Virginia. It was built in 1936 by the Works Progress Administration as a hospital for children with polio. The modified "U"-shaped limestone building consists of a two-story central section, flanked by 1 1/2-story, "Y" shaped wings. The central section features a domed and louvered cupola and a two-story portico. It has a "T"-shaped wing used as a school and a boiler house attached to the school wing by a hyphen.

<p>The Riverside Inn is a restaurant and hotel located at 302 East River Street in Leland, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>At the turn of the century, the tourist population around Leland was steadily growing. In 1902, seeing a demand for lodging, Jacob Schwarz constructed an inn near this location. Schwarz constructed other buildings in the area, including, in 1912, a bathouse that he soon converted into a dance hall. Schwarz ran the Riverside Inn until his death in 1917. His wife followed in 1918, and ownership of the inn passed to the couple&#39;s daughters, Blanche and Anna. They ran the inn until 1924, when it was destroyed by fire.</p><br>
<p>Rather than construct a new building, they modified the 1912 dance hall that Jacob Schwarz had constructed previously. The building was moved to face the river, an upper story was added, and the interior was reworked to make a new inn. Blanche and Anna ran the inn until 1957.</p><br>
<p>The Riverside Inn is still in business, under owners Barb and Kate Vilter.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Riverside Inn is a two-story Bungalow/craftsman-style structure,</p><br>
<p>The Sleeping Bear Inn, also known as the Glen Haven Inn, is a hotel located on M-209 in Glen Haven, Michigan. It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1996 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>This inn, originally called the "Sleeping Bear House," was built in 1857 by C.C. McCarthy, using standard plans. McCarthy also built a sawmill nearby. Development in the area slowed during the Civil War, but after the war&#39;s conclusion settlement in the area boomed. In 1865, McCarthy built a dock nearby, and the protected harbor of Glen Haven began to be used as a stop. The Sleeping Bear Inn served as a boarding house for the dock workers and lumberjacks who worked in the area, as well as an inn for passengers travelling on the steamships. It also served as a stopping point for settlers moving into the area. A rear addition was constructed around this time.</p><br>
<p>In 1878, Philo Chamberlain, president of the Northern Transit Company steamship line, acquired the inn and the rest of the properties in Glen Haven to assure an adequate wooding stop for the company&#39;s vessels. Chamberlain chose D. H. Day as his local agent. Day lived in the Sleeping Bear Inn until his marriage in 1889. In the meantime, he purchased the village of Glen Haven from Chamberlain, including the Inn, and opened a general store nearby.</p><br>
<p>As tourism increased, the Sleeping Bear Inn became more of a resort hotel.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Sleeping Bear Inn is a two-story side gable frame building sided with clapboards. A rear addition was constructed later, as was an enclosed porch on the north and east sides.</p><br>
<p>Vourvourou  is village near Agios Nikolaos, in the Chalkidiki peninsula of northern Greece. It is best known as a holiday destination.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the 10th century, the area was known as the "land of the Vourvourioi", and was granted to the Xenophontos monastery of Mount Athos. In the 1615, the people of Agios Nikolaos acquired the land, but at the end of the 19th century the monks of Simonopetra monastery sold it to Russian monks, with the result that the latter were forcibly driven away by the local inhabitants.</p><br>
<p>Vourvourou itself is not a typical village, with no square or history. Rather it is a strip of shops, taverna&#39;s and rooms to rent and is almost an exclusively seasonal area with few year-round residents.</p><br>
<p>During the 1960s the teaching staff of the University of Thessaloniki developed a holiday resort in a private area also known as Vourvourou. Designed by Professor Thales Argyropoulos it has become well known for its environment-friendly design and respect for the natural surroundings and has become one of the most prestigious resorts of its kind in Greece. In 1974 excavation at the chapel of Panagia in Vourvourou, uncovered ruins of what is probably the remains of the monastery of Ieromnimon.</p><br>
<p>Siskiwit Lake is a small eutrophic lake on the Bayfield Peninsula in Bayfield County in northern Wisconsin in the United States. The lake is located about 4.5 mi south of Siskiwit Bay, an arm of Lake Superior, and about 2 mi north of the northern boundary of Chequamegon National Forest. Duluth-Superior is about 48 mi to the west. Parts of the small town of Bell border the lake, and there are several houses and vacation cabins on the lake, most on the north shore. The nearest major road, Wisconsin Highway 13, is about 3.5 mi to the north, and the nearest large town, Washburn, is about 14 mi to the southeast, down County Highway C.</p><br>
<p>Siskiwit Lake is 285 acre in area with a maximum depth of 13 ft and a shoreline circumference of 4 mi. The lake contains a 2 acre island, Long Island (another small quasi-island, Round Island, is actually attached to the mainland). The deeper part of the lake is to the east, with a long narrow bay stretching northwest of Long Island. The lake drains at the eastern end into the Siskiwit River which flows (via Little Siskiwit Lake) into Siskiwit Bay at Cornucopia.</p><br>
<p>Siskiwit Lake is used for fishing. Panfish is present. and Brook Trout. There is a boat ramp.</p><br>
<p>The Townsend House is a historic building on Embassy Row in Washington DC, home to the Cosmos Club since 1952.</p><br>
<p>The free-standing house, set in almost an acre of garden, was designed in the Beaux Arts French style by architects Carrère and Hastings in 1898 for Mary Scott Townsend, daughter of and heiress to William Lawrence Scott, and her husband Richard H. Townsend, moving from their previous home at 736 Jackson Place. Construction was essentially completed in 1901. Mr. Townsend died shortly thereafter, in 1902, and his wife lived in the house until her own death in 1931. The house then became the home of their daughter, Mathilde Scott Townsend, and her husband since 1925, prominent diplomat Sumner Welles, until 1939 and again in 1943, even though they spent much time in Oxon Hill Manor and abroad. The Cosmos Club purchased the property in 1950, following Ms Welles&#39; death in Switzerland in 1949.</p><br>
<p>In 1933, President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt lived briefly in the house before his inauguration. This echoed the previous generation of Townsends&#39; renting of their Jackson Place home to President Theodore Roosevelt in 1902, during the White House renovation and construction of the West Wing.</p><br>
<p>The Townsend House was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. It is a contributing property to the Dupont Circle Historic District and Massachusetts Avenue Historic District.</p><br>
<p>Siskiwit Lake is the largest lake on Isle Royale in Lake Superior. 4,150 acre in area, the lake has cold, clear water which is relatively low in nutrients. Tributaries include the Little Siskiwit River, and the lake&#39;s outlet is the Siskiwit River which flows into Lake Superior.</p><br>
<p>Siskiwit Lake is available for fishing, with restrictions (no motorized boats, no natural bait). Lake Trout, Brook Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Yellow Perch are found in the lake. A 2004 study of toxaphene concentrations found that concentrations were lower in Siskiwit Lake trout than in Lake Superior trout, possibly due to shorter food chains and greater reliance on zooplankton or other pelagic invertebrates.</p><br>
<p>Siskiwit Lake contains several lake islands, including Eagle Nest Island, Teakettle Island, Lost and Found Island, and Ryan Island, the largest. Common loons nest and breed on some of these islands.</p><br>
<p>Ryan Island contains Moose Flats, a seasonal pond, which contains Moose Boulder. When Moose Flats is flooded, Moose Boulder becomes the largest island in the largest lake on the largest island in the largest lake on the largest island in the largest lake in the world. – Treasure Island (which is larger than Ryan Island) in Lake Mindemoya (which is larger than Siskiwit Lake, but not the largest lake on Manitoulin Island, which is Lake Manitou) on Manitoulin Island (which is larger than Isle Royale) in Lake Huron is believed to be the world&#39;s largest island in a lake on an island in a lake. Treasure Island may also contain ponds (as do several lake islands in Manitoulin Island) which may contain rocky islands larger than Moose Boulder. But Lake Huron is not the largest lake in the world.) (The largest island in a lake on an island in a lake on an island not in a lake may be an unnamed 4 acre island (which has probably never been visited by humans) at 69.793&deg;N latitude, 108.241&deg;W longitude in a lake on an island in a lake on Victoria Island in the Canadian Arctic.)</p><br>
<p>The Sleeping Bear Point Life Saving Station, also known as the Glen Haven Coast Guard Station, is a Coast Guard station located near Glen Haven, Michigan. It is significant as a nearly intact version of what was, when built, a prototype architectural design. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, and is now the Sleeping Bear Point Coast Guard Station Maritime Museum and part of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Sleeping Bear Point Life Saving Station was constructed in 1901 by Robert J.B. Newcombe using prototype plans developed by the United States Life-Saving Service. The station was primarily manned by local volunteers. It was originally located at a site about a mile west of the current location, but the inaccessibility of the original site prompted the Coast Guard to move the station to the present location in 1931. However, during World War II, operations at the station ceased, and it was eventually closed permanently in 1958.</p><br>
<p>Ownership of the station was later transferred to the National Park Service, and it is now part of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. In 1982- 1983, the bulk of the Life Saving Station was restored to its 1931 appearance. The interior of the boathouse and the crew&#39;s bedroom were restored their early 1900s. In the spring of 1984, the station re-opened as a maritime museum.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Sleeping Bear Point Life Saving Station includes four buildings: a residence, a boat house, a storage shed, and a signal tower. The residence is a two-story frame building on a cement foundation with a wood-shingled gable roof. A porch with four square columns spans the front of the structure. The nearby boat house is also a wooden frame structure, covered with vertical siding and topped with a wood shingle hip roof and an octagonal cupola.</p><br>
<p>The Scheidegg  is a mountain summit of the Rigi massif, overlooking Goldau in the canton of Schwyz on its north mountainside, and Gersau and the Gersauerbecken on its south side. The cable car station 160 metres east of it is called Rigi Scheidegg.</p><br>
<p>The summit is connected by two cable cars, one, the Luftseilbahn Kräbel–Rigi Scheidegg (LKRS), on the north side connecting to the Kräbel station on the Arth-Rigi Bahn (ARB), and another one, the Luftseilbahn Obergschwend–Rigi Burggeist (LORB), on the south side leading down to Obergschwend in the municipality of Gersau. Alternatively it is possible to walk from Scheidegg to Rigi Kaltbad or Rigi Klösterli by a panoramic footpath on the eastern and western mountainside of the Rigi massif. Much of the path uses the trackbed of the former Rigi–Scheidegg railway that once linked Kaltbad and Scheidegg.</p><br>
<p>The summit of Scheidegg was once the site of a large hotel, built in 1830. The reduction in tourism due to World War I, and the subsequent change in tourism from overnight stays to day trips, resulted in the closure of the hotel and its eventual demolition in 1943/4.</p><br>
<p>Delaware Run is a tributary of the West Branch Susquehanna River in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is 7.4 mi long. It flows through Delaware Township, starting in the Muncy Hills. The watershed has an area of 11.7 square miles in Northumberland and Lycoming Counties. Delaware Run was reached by Europeans as early as 1737 and an area near it settled in 1769 and the community of Dewart is near Delaware Run.</p><br>
<h2>Course</h2><br>
<p>Delaware Run begins in Delaware Township, near the southern edge of the Muncy Hills. It flows southwards and crosses under Pennsylvania Route 54 before making a sharp turn northwest. The course gradually turns from northwest to westwards as the stream picks up two tributaries. It then turns southwest and passes by the community of Dewart and flowing under Pennsylvania Route 405. After passing Pennsylvania Route 405, the stream turns southwards, paralleling the West Branch Susquehanna River, and passes under Pennsylvania Route 44. Shortly after this, the stream reaches its confluence with the West Branch Susquehanna River.</p><br>
<h3>Tributaries</h3><br>
<p>Delaware Run has a large number of unnamed tributaries.</p><br>
<h2>Hydrology</h2><br>
<p>Delaware Run has an average daily load of 15,937.4753 lb of sediment. This load would need to be reduced by 41% to meet the total maximum daily load set by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. Out of this daily load, a total of 12,846.794 lb comes from croplands. 2,305.42 lb comes from stream banks and 521.369 lb comes from hay or pastures. 126.301 lb of sediment per day comes from low-intensity development and 103.8904 lb per day comes from forested lands. 19.9452 lb of the daily load comes from unpaved roads and 13.7532 lb comes from land considered "in transition" by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection.</p><br>
<p>Most of the lower reaches of Delaware Run and its tributaries are considered impaired by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. However, some of the streams in the upper reaches of the watershed are not considered impaired.</p><br>
<p>Between 1991 and 2011, the average annual rainfall was 37.7 in. The average annual runoff during the same period was 0.13 in.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>The entirety watershed of Delaware Run is in the ridge and valley section of the Appalachian Mountains.</p><br>
<p>Ninety percent of the rocks in the watershed are sedimentary. These rocks include rocks from the Bloomsburg/Mifflinburg Formation, the Clinton Group, the Hamilton Group, the Onondaga/Old Port Formation, the Trimmers Rock Formation, and the Wills Creek Formation. Five percent of the rocks in the watershed are carbonate rocks, which come from the Keyser/Tonoloway Formation.</p><br>
<p>The Trimmers Rock Formation largely occurs in the northern part of the Delaware Run watershed. The Hamilton Group occurs in the central part of the watershed. The Onondaga/Old Port Formation occurs south of the Hamilton Group and the Keyser/Tonoloway Formation Undivided occurs south of the Onondaga/Old Port Formation. The Wills Creek Formation, the Bloomsburg/Mifflinburg Formation Undivided, and the Clinton Group occupy a small area in the southwestern part of the watershed.</p><br>
<p>The Hamilton Group occupies 55% of the Delaware Run watershed and the Trimmers Rock Formation is found in 35%. The Onondaga/Old Port Formation is found in 10% of the watershed and the Keyser/Tonoloway Formation and the Wills Creek Formation each occur in 5% of the watershed. The Bloomsburg/Mifflintown Formation occurs in 4% of the watershed and the Clinton Group is found in 1%.</p><br>
<p>The main type of soil in the Delaware Run watershed is the Berks-Weikert-Bedington series, which is a silt loam with shale. It mostly is found in the upper reaches of the watershed. The Hagerstown-Edom-Washington series, the Chenango-Pope-Holly series, and the Watson-Berks-Alvira series are also found in the watershed.</p><br>
<p>The Berks-Weikert-Bedington series occurs in the northern, central, and south-central parts of the Delaware Run watershed. It makes up 60% of the watershed. The Hagerstown-Edom-Washington series, which makes up 17% of the watershed, is found in the southeastern part of the watershed and the Chenango-Pope-Holly series is found in the southwestern part of the watershed. It occurs in 20% of the watershed. The Watson-Berks-Alvira series is found in a small part (3%) of the eastern part of the watershed.</p><br>
<p>Parts of Delaware Run experience stream bank erosion.</p><br>
<h2>Watershed</h2><br>
<p>The Delaware Run watershed has an area of 11.7 square miles. There are a total of 18.61 mi of streams in the watershed of Delaware Run. One of the major highways in the watershed is Pennsylvania Route 54, which goes through the middle of it. There are also a large number of township roads in the watershed. Fifty-four percent of the land in the watershed is agricultural land and thirty-seven percent is forested land. The remaining nine percent of the land is developed. Most of the forested land is in the northern part of the watershed and much of the developed land is in the southwestern part.</p><br>
<p>Most of the watershed of Delaware Run is in Delaware Township, Northumberland County, but a small part of it is in Lycoming County.</p><br>
<p>Going from north to south, Delaware Run is the first significant stream to join the West Branch Susquehanna River in Northumberland County.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Europeans reached Delaware Run as early as March 17, 1737. On the aforementioned day, Conrad Weiser, a German, and three Native Americans journeying to Onandago passed by the stream, pausing "within the shadow of the great pines of Delaware Run. On February 3, 1769, Lieutenant Daniel Hunsicker purchased a tract of land a short distance south of the mouth of Delaware Run, near modern-day Watsontown. The first church in Delaware Township was situated on Delaware Run in the middle of the township. It was used until 1870, when a church was built in Watsontown. The community of Dewart was established near Delaware Run.</p><br>
<p>The Dewart Covered Bridge was a single-span covered bridge with multi-king post trusses and it crossed Delaware Run. It was built in 1882 by Samuel L. Culp and was destroyed on June 22, 1972 by a tropical storm.</p><br>
<h2>Biology</h2><br>
<p>There are no riparian buffers in some places where Delaware Run flows through agricultural lands. Livestock can freely access the stream in some locations.</p><br>
<p>The Taylor Log House and Site is a historic plantation site on Arkanasas Highway 138 in rural Drew County, Arkansas, near the town of Winchester. Included on the plantation site is the best-preserved dog trot house in Arkansas&#39;s Lower Delta region. The Taylor Log House, a two story dog trot built out of cypress logs, was built in 1846 by John Martin Taylor, a Kentucky native who established a plantation on the banks of Bayou Bartholomew. The building was moved, probably in the 1880s. In addition to the house, the site is believed to include archeologically significant remnants of a wide variety of outbuildings. The site was the subject of archeological activities in the 1990s.</p><br>
<p>The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<p>The Ivory Quinby House is an Italianate and Greek Revival estate built by the noted architect John C. Cochrane for Ivory Quinby , a prominent Monmouth, Illinois citizen. Quinby, who was an early benefactor and a founder of Monmouth College, also helped the city of Monmouth become the transportation center it is today, by bringing the Peoria and Oquawka Railroad through town in the early 1850s. The National Register of Historic Places property has been owned by Monmouth College since 1965.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1862, Quinby set aside a plot of land on the corner of East Euclid Avenue and 6th Street, which was located on a large section of property he had donated to the city for the purpose of expansion and improvement. He had surveyed the area and determined it was the highest point in Monmouth. Quinby had owned a number of houses in Monmouth but wanted something larger. In 1866, Quinby contacted noted Chicago architect John C. Cochrane (who would go on to design the Iowa State Capitol), who designed the home. Construction was completed in 1867. Records indicate indoor plumbing was installed as late as 1901. The house stayed in the Quinby family until 1965, when it was deeded to Monmouth College, reflecting the family&#39;s long-standing ties with the college for 112 years. The estate currently serves as the home of the college President. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 20, 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Renovations</h2><br>
<p>A large two-story front porch and bay window was added in the early 1890s.</p><br>
<p>By 1996, the Quinby House had become run down, and was in need of renovation. An estimate of the cost of such an undertaking was $500,000. Ivory Quinby III, who deeded the home to Monmouth College in 1965, stipulated that if the home was left vacant for more than two years, it was to be razed. Since the mansion was becoming increasingly unlivable, funds were raised by the college, and the home was completely renovated from 1996 to 1997. Windows were replaced (many with the original glass panes), gas light fixtures were wired for electricity, and the original steam heating system was replaced. The house had also been outfitted with a marble coal-burning fireplace, which was kept intact, but non-functioning.</p><br>
<p>The Yakel House and Union Brewery are a historic house and brewery complex located at 1421-1431 Pearl St. in Alton, Illinois. Philip Yakel, a German immigrant, built the brewery soon after coming to America in 1836. The brewery was the first in Alton and one of the citys earliest successful industries. Yakels son George, who eventually ran the brewery alongside his father, built the house in 1863; it was the family&#39;s second home at the site. The brick home features a vernacular design influenced by German architectural tradition. William Netzhammer, a brewer from St. Louis, purchased the brewery in 1882. The Netzhammer family ran the brewery until it closed in 1952, notably, the brewery continued production during Prohibition by making near beer.</p><br>
<p>The complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 11, 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Miners Institute Building  is a historic commercial building located at 204 West Main in Collinsville, Illinois.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The state and local chapters of the United Mine Workers Association commissioned the three-story building, which opened in 1918. The building served as Collinsvilles first public theater as well as office space and a meeting hall for union activities. Local community groups also used the building for meeting space, and Collinsvilles public library began in the building. Coal mining was Collinsvilles first major industry, and it dominated the citys economy in the 1910s; the building is a remnant of the industry&#39;s influence over the city.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 29, 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Hotel Stratford is a historic hotel located at 229 Market St. in Alton, Illinois. The hotel, originally known as the Illini Hotel, opened in 1909. St. Louis architectural firm Barnett, Haynes & Barnett designed the hotel in the Classical Revival style. The five-story brick building features brick quoins, limestone bands and window sills, terra cotta ornamentation, and a cantilevered cornice. The hotel opened a rooftop garden in 1910 and a reception room in 1912, and it became one of many hotels which drew conventions to Alton; a contemporary newspaper account described the building as part of the "greatest improvement in property in the city of Alton". In 1925, new owner E. J. Lockyer renamed the hotel to its current name. The hotel is the only hotel built in Alton before 1950 that is still in operation.</p><br>
<p>The hotel was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 27, 2000.</p><br>
<p>The Bethalto Village Hall is the former center of government of Bethalto, Illinois. Built in 1873, the building is the oldest remaining city hall building in Madison County. While Bethalto was platted in 1854, the need for a village hall did not arise until the city incorporated as a village in 1873. The two-story brick building was designed in the Italianate style. The first floor of the building housed government offices, while the second floor had a meeting room used by the village&#39;s fraternal organizations and community groups. In 1938, the village built a fire station annex onto the building. The village government operated in the building until 1963.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 2, 1987.</p><br>
<p>The Bethalto Historical Museum is housed in the former Village Hall. Exhibits include the city’s tiny one-room jail and displays about local history, including a recreated classroom.</p><br>
<p>The St. Louis Street Historic District is a residential historic district located along several blocks of St. Louis Street in Edwardsville, Illinois. The district includes 59 homes, of which 51 are considered contributing to the districts historic character. St. Louis Street was one of the most prestigious sections of Edwardsville in the late 1800s, and several of the citys wealthiest residents owned homes along the street. The first house on the street, a log cabin, was built by John Lusk in 1809. In the 1870s, prominent residents of Edwardsville began building homes on the south side of St. Louis Street; these houses typically had large plots and open parkland between lots. In 1883, Judge Joseph Gillespie divided and sold the land on the north side of the street; the homes built on these lots are consequently much closer together. The homes built in the district were designed in popular architectural styles of the late 1800s; while the Queen Anne style is the most prevalent, Italianate, Chateauesque, and Classical Revival houses were also built.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 9, 1983.</p><br>
<p>The Skegemog Point Site, also known as the Samels Field Site or Samels Site and designated 20GT2, is an archaeological site located on the property of the Samels Farm at 8298 Skegemog Point Road, near Williamsburg, Michigan. Material at the site spans over 10,000 years, and the site is unique in that, due to glacial rebound, it is horizontally stratified rather than vertically stratified. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1889, Frank and Mary Samels purchased 64 acres of land on Skegemog Point, the peninsuala separating Lake Skegemog from Elk Lake. While farming the site, he discovered many Indian artifacts, arrow points and axes, as well as many mounds and pits along the lakeshore. In the 1920s, an archaeologist from the University of Michigan surveyed the site, and in 1930 department head Wilbert B. Hinsdale did further work. Frank Samels died in 1955, and passed the farm to his three sons Dennis, Ben, and Rob Samels. In 1965, the Samels gave permission to Charles Cleland, Michigan State University Museum Curator, to excavate the site. Cleland discovered evidence of a long history of habitation at the site. In 1972, the site was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>In the 1990s, the Samels entered into an agreement with The Archaeological Conservancy to preserve the entire farm, including the archaeological site.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Skegemog Point Site includes artifacts from a range of time periods, including Paleo-Indian, Archaic, and Late Woodland periods. The material at the site is primarily at or near the surface, and is spread over a 15.5 acre area on and below a beach terrace, and extending into the lake. The site is horizontally stratified, with the Paleo-Indian section, dating to around 10,000 BCE, located at the highest elevation furthest from the lakeshore. This is due to glacial rebound, where the underlying limestone slowly rises, changing the relative location of the lakeshore. The Archaic section, dating to perhaps 3000 BCE, is located closer to the lakeshore, and the Late Woodland section, dating to around 900-1200 AD, is located nearest the shore.</p><br>
<p>The Late Woodland section of the site was partially excavated in the 1960s. It contains at least 26 hearth areas, as well as charcoal, potsherds, bone fragments and seeds. It also contains multiple postmolds set in circular configurations of about 10 ft in diameter, suggesting temporary or seasonal wigwam-type structures. The other portions of the site have not been extensively excavated, although Clovis points have been found in the older portion of the site.</p><br>
<p>Mount Mueller is a mountain of the Great Dividing Range, located in Victoria, Australia. Mount Mueller has an elevation of 1,460 m.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Mount Mueller is about 120 km east of Melbourne and 50 km north of the Latrobe Valley. The mountain itself is one of several peaks on the Baw Baw Plateau, a long plateau tending north-east. Other peaks on the plateau include Mount Baw Baw, Mount Whitelaw, Mount St Phillack (the highest), Mount Tyers, Mount Kernot and Mount St Gwinear. The plateau itself is isolated from most of Victoria&#39;s high country by the Thomson and Aberfeldy rivers and tributaries of the La Trobe River, including the Tanjil and Tyers rivers to the south.</p><br>
<h2>Geology and biology</h2><br>
<p>The Baw Baw massif consists of a late Devonian granodiorite pluton. There is relatively little relief on the plateau itself, the highest point (Mount St. Phillack) reaching 1,567 m. The lower slopes of the plateau are covered in montane eucalypt forest and tall forest, and creek valleys have cool temperate rainforest of myrtle beech, Nothofagus cunninghamii. Above 1,200 m snow gum woodland occurs. There is no alttudinal treeline limit; subalpine grasslands and shrublands occur in flat valley bottoms on the plateau as a result of cold-air drainage. Much of this subalpine zone is included in the 133 km&sup2; Baw Baw National Park.</p><br>
<p>The climate of the plateau itself is subalpine, with an average annual precipitation of 1,900 mm. Snow covers the plateau from June to September.</p><br>

<p>Motor is an unincorporated community in Clayton County, Iowa, United States. The townsite is also a nationally recognized historic district listed as a historic site on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>John Thompson, J.P. Dickinson and James O. Crosby formed a partnership in the early 1860s. They planned to build a gristmill, a sawmill, a farm and a town that they called Motor. The site they chose had been the location of a previous sawmill named Hastings Bottom. They began construction of the mill and the cooperage in 1867. The mill was in operation by 1870, and the town was laid out in 1875. Because of their success with establishing nearby Elkader, they were confident that Motor would be equally successful.</p><br>
<p>A narrow-gauge railway was completed within 4 mi of Motor in 1874. A station house was built, a station agent was hired, and track was scheduled to be laid in 1875, but a flood wiped out the ties and the railroad never made it to Motor. Cinch bugs wiped out the local wheat crop and local farmers moved on to other crops. Because of that the mill closed in 1882. The partnership that built the town dissolved, and the district court auctioned the property in 1891. Louis Klink bought the property in 1903. He sold the mill machinery and he used the buildings for his farm operation. The property remained in the family for 80 years. The Clayton County Conservation Board acquired the property in 1983. The area is now a 155 acre park with hiking trails, a primitive campground, and a place to launch canoes. It is part of the Silos & Smokestacks National Heritage Area.</p><br>
<p>Lake Charest  is located in the area Montauban-les-Mines, in the municipality of Notre-Dame-de-Montauban, in the Mékinac Regional County Municipality , in the extreme east of the administrative region of Mauricie, in Québec, Canada.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Lake Charest is located just east of the mining village of Montautan-les-Mines. It is located close to the limit of Saint-Ubalde.</p><br>
<p>The lake turns to be the head of the Charest River which, a priori, flows south-west over 1.5 kilometers in the territory of Notre-Dame-de-Montauban until the limit of Saint-Ubalde.</p><br>
<p>In Saint-Ubalde’s territory, the river flows through the rows Saint-Paul, Saint-Achilles and Sainte-Anne, going gradually away from the boundaries of the Lac-aux-Sables. In his course in Saint-Ubalde, the river recovers waters of fews lakes, including Sainte-Anne and "à la Perchaude” (perch). Then the river flows south-east (almost in parallel to the Batiscan River) and through 16 lots in the row Price in the eastern section of Saint-Adelphe, where its course becomes very coil down to its mouth.</p><br>
<p>The shape of the lake Charest resembles to a pear which is raising his hat, and the top facing north. Lake Charest has a length of 0.56 km and a maximum width of 0.27 km. Streets "Des Écureuils" (Squirrels), "du camping" et "Saint-Paul" are surrounding Charest lake.</p><br>
<h2>Toponymy</h2><br>
<p>The name "Lake Charest" was officially registered on December 4, 1982 at the Bank of place names of Commission de toponymie du Québec (Geographical Names Board of Québec). The name "River Charest" takes its name from headwater lake of the same name. Formerly the lake Charest was designated "lake Narcisse&quot this name appears on some old maps of the area.</p><br>
<p>The Collinsville City Hall and Fire Station are two connected buildings located at 125 Center St. in Collinsville, Illinois. The Italianate City Hall was built in 1885. It was Collinsvilles first dedicated city hall; prior to its completion, government meetings were held at the mayors house. The new city hall, along with several other public works projects, created a large debt which contributed to mayor Charles L. Oatman&#39;s defeat in the next election. The Romanesque Revival fire station was built next to City Hall in 1910. Additions in 1972 and 1994 connected the two buildings. A Civil War monument on the southeast corner the property was dedicated in 1926; while it was originally located between the two buildings, it moved to its current location when the fire station expanded in 1956.</p><br>
<p>The buildings were added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 20, 2004.</p><br>

<p>Karakabaklı is an archaeological site in Mersin Province, Turkey.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Karakabaklı is situated next to Karadedeli village (now a remote neighborhood of Atakent) in the rural area of Silifke district at 36&deg;26&prime;N latitude, 34&deg;01&prime;E longitude. In the antiquity this region was called Cilicia Trachaea (Rugged Cilicia). Karakabaklı is to the east of Silifke and to the north of Turkish state highway. It can be reached via a 7 km road from Atakent which is on D-400. The villa rustica Sinekkale is to north of Karakabaklı. The distance from Karakabaklı to Silifke is 22 km and to Mersin is 74 km.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The settlement dates back to Hellenistic age. But it was rebuilt and inhabited during the Roman and early Byzantine ages. It was probably abandoned during the Arab–Byzantine wars in the 7th and 8th centuries. Neither Hellenistic nor the Roman name of the settlement is known. Karakabaklı is a Turkish name.</p><br>
<h2>Ruins</h2><br>
<p>According to Professor Semavi Eyice who has studied on the ruins there are many houses and seven of them are in relatively good condition. Four of them are one-storey and three of them are two-storey houses. The building material is limestone. Eyice notes that the percentage of standing buildings is higher in Karakabaklı than in most other ancient settlements. The plans of the houses are not standard and they probably belonged to people of different economic status. There are also, basilicas, a tetrapylon, cisterns and a partially unearthed Roman road. The settlement is included in the official list of Archaeological sites of Turkey.</p><br>
<p>The Boardman Neighborhood Historic District is a residential historic district in Traverse City, Michigan, United States, roughly bounded by State Street, Webster Street, Railroad Avenue, and Boardman Avenue. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The initial construction in the Boardman Neighborhood coincided with the early lumber boom in Traverse City. Notable Traverse City residents, including Captain Henry Boardman, the Havilands, and the Hulls, constructed lavish houses in the neighborhood. Additional construction, such as the 1890s Fair Oaks Terrace, accommodated merchants and professionals of more modest means. The neighborhood declined during the 1920s, and many of the larger houses were converted into apartments or rooming houses, or simply left vacant. However, revitalization starting in the 1970s renewed the single-family character of the neighborhood.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Boardman Neighborhood Historic District includes approximately 174 structures, the majority of then well-maintained Victorian wood-frame residences covered with clapboard siding. The neighborhood is dense, with many houses occupying half-lots. In addition, the structures range from lavish houses built for some of the citys most prominent late 19th-century residents to more modest homes originally owned by small businessmen and lumber company employees. The neighborhood is primarily residential in character, though some nonresidential structures, such as the citys first general hospital, are within the district.</p><br>

<p>PerryHannahHouseTraverseCityMI.JPGPerry Hannah House</p><br>
<p>The Perry Hannah House, also known as the Reynolds Funeral Home, is a private house located at 305 6th Street in Traverse City, 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>Perry Hannah was born in 1824 in Erie County, Pennsylvania, the son of E. L. and Ann Hannah. In 1837 the Hannahs moved to St. Clair County, Michigan, and Perry soon was employed in rafting logs from Port Huron to Detroit. He was later employed in a Port Huron store, but in 1846 moved to Chicago to clerk at a lumberyard. In 1850, he formed a partnership with A. Tracy Lay and James Morgan, called Hannah, Lay, and Co. In 1851, the firm purchased land near Traverse City and began logging.</p><br>
<p>In 1852, Hannah married Ann Amelia Flynn; the couple had three children. In 1854 the Hannahs permanently moved to Traverse City, where Perry Hannah guided Hannah, Lay, and Co. to immense profits, expanding into banking, milling, real estate, and wholesale and retail sales. In 1886, they divested the lumbering portion of the business. By the 1890s, Hannah, Lay, and Co. was worth tens of millions of dollars.</p><br>
<p>The Perry Hannah House was designed in 1891 by Grand Rapids architect W. G. Robinson for Hannah. It was completed in 1893. Hannah used the house as his retirement home, living there until his death in 1904. The house then passed to his daughter-in-law, Elsie Hannah. Years later, unable to afford the upkeep of the house, Elsie Hannah planned to demolish it. However, demolition also proved too costly, and she donated the house to the American Legion. The Legion sold it to the owner of Weaver&#39;s Funeral Home, who converted it into a funeral parlor, making almost no alterations to the original house. In 1976, the Reynolds-Jonkhoff Funeral Home began using the home; they still operate it and maintain the house.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Perry Hannah House occupies a large double lot on the corner of Sixth and Pine streets. It is a three-story asymmetric brick Queen Anne structure clad with clapboard siding and round corner turrets. The house sits on a granite foundation and is capped with a hip roof; a wide veranda nearly encircles the structure. A -story carriage house, now used as a garage, sits behind the house.</p><br>
<p>Inside the house are 40 rooms located on four floors, with a total of 14,000 ft&sup2;. The house contains ten fireplaces, eight with handmade Venetian tiles. The woodwork features many types of wood, including cherry, birch, beech, birds-eye and curly maple, oak, dark oak, walnut, and Brazilian mahogany.</p><br>
<p>The William H. Griffitts House is a historic farmhouse on Jackson Ferry Road in Loudon County, Tennessee, United States, northwest of Greenback and near the edge of Tellico Lake. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The house, which was completed in 1854 (when its site was part of Blount County, Tennessee), is a two-story wooden frame farmhouse with nine rooms arranged in an ell-shaped layout. The house has five fireplaces.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The owner of the house, William H. Griffitts, was born in 1825 into one of the Quaker families that had arrived in Blount County around 1800 and settled in the Unitia and Friendsville areas. He and his wife, Lucy Ann Burton, were the parents of seven children.</p><br>
<p>With other Quakers in the local area, the Griffitts family were active supporters of the Underground Railroad movement that aided fugitive African-American slaves attempting to reach freedom in the northern United States. During the American Civil War, they also sheltered white Southern men seeking to avoid military conscription by the Confederacy.</p><br>
<p>During the Civil War, William Griffitts had conscientious objector status due to his Quaker religious faith. In lieu of military service, he worked in a salt mine in Kentucky. His wife and teenaged son managed the farm and household during his absence. After the war, the Griffitts family allowed former slaves to live on a portion of their property that is still known locally as Negro Hollow.</p><br>
<p>The property remained in the Griffitts family until 1960, and Griffitts descendants lived in the house until 1943. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989 as the result of efforts by Larry Benson, who purchased it in 1978 and did extensive restoration and renovation work. Architect Eugene Burr drafted the National Register nomination materials.</p><br>
<p>The State Bank Building is a historic bank building located at 102 W. Main St. in Collinsville, Illinois. Built in 1916, the bank was the third used by the State Bank, which was chartered in 1891. Architect Robert G. Kirsch designed the building in the Classical Revival style. The buildings north and east facades are faced with Amicoloa marble. The front entrance is located on the north side, which has three arched bays flanked by Ionic columns. The front foundation extends 5 ft above the ground; the entrance is located in a recessed break in the center of the facade. The facade is topped by an entablature, a dentillated cornice, and a marble parapet. The five bays on the buildings east side are similar to the front bays; six Ionic pilasters flank these bays.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 23, 2010.</p><br>
<p>The Post House is a historic house located at 1516 State St. in Alton, Illinois, United States. William Post, a steamboat captain who later became mayor of Alton, built the house in 1837-38. The brick and limestone house is designed in the Greek Revival style. The house&#39;s front facade features four Doric columns topped by an entablature and a pedimented gable end. The front porch of the house wraps around both sides, each of which has an additional column and a pilaster. The cornice and front pediment are both dentillated. James Patterson, owner of the Illinois Iron Works, purchased the house in 1854; Patterson may have added the iron porch railing.</p><br>

<p>The Jarvesville Historic District of Sandwich, Massachusetts is a predominantly residential historic district centered on the site of the former Boston and Sandwich Glass Company factory. It is located north and east of Sandwich Center. Although the area has buildings that date to the middle of the 18th century, most of the district&#39;s more than 200 contributing properties are residences built between 1825 and 1860, when the glass company was at its height. These houses are predominantly Cape and Greek Revival in character, and are modest one- and two-family buildings that originally housed glass factory workers.</p><br>
<p>The glassworks in Jarvesville reached their peak of production and employment around the time of the American Civil War. Business began to decline in the 1860s when cheaper fuel sources in the Midwest prompted the relocation of the businesses. Most attempts to continue glassmaking operations were unsuccessful, and the industrial properties were eventually demolished in the 20th century. The residential properties continued to be occupied, often by descendants of the glassworkers, but also by workers employed in other industrial facilities in the area.</p><br>
<p>The only significant commercial properties in the district are located on Jarves Street, which is also where the separately-listed John and Mary Waterman Jarves House is located. This 1857 Italianate house was built by Deming Jarves&#39; son, and designed by Charles Kirk Kirby. The only church in the district is the Corpus Christi Roman Catholic Church at 6 Jarves Street; the Romanesque Revival building was constructed in 1901.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<p>The Bog Bridge, also known as the Cilleyville Bridge, is a historic covered bridge in Andover, New Hampshire. The Town through truss bridge was built in 1887 by local carpenter Prentice C. Atwood. The bridge originally carried Bog Road across Pleasant Brook, but was reduced to foot traffic when the current alignment of New Hampshire Route 11 bypassed it. The bridge is 53 ft long and 13 ft wide, and is clad in vertical planking. The asphalt shingle roof, a replacement made in 1982, is the only major modification to the bridge. The bridge rests on abutments of roughly coursed granite blocks; the eastern abutment is original, without mortar, while the western abutment was damaged in the 1938 New England hurricane and rebuilt with cement mortar.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>The Daniel Dove Collins House is a historic house located at 621 W. Main St. in Collinsville, Illinois. Daniel Dove Collins built the house in 1845 for himself and his wife. Collins, a cousin of the founders of Collinsville, was the first president of the then-village&#39;s Board of Trustees, and he held board meetings in his house. The post-and-beam house was designed in the Greek Revival style. The house has five bays delineated by the six Doric columns supporting its front porch. It is a rare surviving example of a five-bay Greek Revival home in Illinois. In the late 1880s or early 1890s, the house was moved from its original site at Main and Center Streets to its current location.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 21, 2002.</p><br>
<p>The Emmert-Zippel House is a historic house located at 3729 Maryville Road in Granite City, Illinois. William Emmert built the house in 1837; he married the following year, and he and his family lived in the house. At the time, the house was located in a rural setting in Granite City, which was then known as Six Mile due to its distance from St. Louis. The house is a five-bay I-house, a housing style named for its popularity in Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa. I-houses, including the Emmert-Zippel House, were two-story structures with two rooms on each floor connected by a central hall and staircase. Emmert lived in the house until 1881, and his family sold the house to August and Elizabeth Zippel in 1884.</p><br>
<p>The Zippel family lived in the house until 1984, when the Old Six Mile Historical Society bought the house and made it a museum, known as the Old Six Mile Museum.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 2, 1996.</p><br>
<p>The Alam&#39;s house is a historical house in Isfahan, Iran. The owner of the house was one of the Qajar aristocrats. The house has a yard, which is surrounded from every side by residential parts. The northern part is distinguished by a columned veranda and has a reception hall. There are two rooms on the two sides of the reception hall. In this hall, there are stucco and decorations with cut mirrors. The hall faces to veranda by seven sash windows and leads to the rooms by khatamkari doors. The southern part of the house is a narrow and long dining room, which has painted windows. Eastern and western parts have identical plans. Both of them have reception halls, which lead to the smaller rooms. All parts of the house have been decorated by brickwork, tiles, stucco and gilding. The limpid water in the stone howz in the middle of the yard reflects the beauty of the house.</p><br>
<p>The Boscawen Academy and Much-I-Do Hose House are a pair of historic civic buildings in Boscawen, New Hampshire. Now owned by the Boscawen Historical Society, these two buildings played a significant role in the civic history of the town for over 150 years, and were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Boscawen Academy</h2><br>
<p>The Boscawen Academy was a private school chartered by the state of New Hampshire in 1827 as part of a general plan to improve secondary education. This two story Federal style brick building was constructed in 1827-28 by William Abbot, a local joiner who also built a number of other civic buildings in central New Hampshire. The brick exterior is laid in common bond, with a header course every eight rows. It has a low pitch gable roof whose pedimented end, above the front facade, has a fanlight window. The front facade is three bays wide, with a central door topped by a fanlight transom. The side walls are four bays long; the first window on each side has been bricked over, apparently as part of 19th century alterations to the stairwells inside. Centered above the front entry is a two-stage tower: it has a square base, above which is an open belfry supported by four posts and surrounded by a balustrade. The tower is topped by a four-sided cupola and weathervane.</p><br>
<p>The inside of the academy has been relatively unaltered since the 19th century. Each level has one large classroom, and the front of the building has a pair of staircases rising on either side of the front door. There is a small room at the top of the stairs on the second floor. The building was remodeled in 1858, giving some of its interior finishes a Greek Revival flavor, and again sometime after 1872.</p><br>
<p>The academy was operated as a private school until 1872, when the building was sold to the Boscawen Public Schools for $2,000. It was operated as a public school until 1966, after which it was sold to the Boscawen Historical Society.</p><br>
<h2>Much-I-Do Hose House</h2><br>
<p>The "Much-I-Do" Hose House is a modest single story wood frame building located just north of the academy building. When built in 1893, the building was about half its present size, and was built to store the hoses of Boscawen&#39;s number 2 fire company (which was dubbed "Much-I-Do" in 1904). In 1922 its size was doubled to accommodate the housing of a fire truck, and overhead doors were added to the front at a later date. It was used as a fire station until 1969, and as the local police station from 1971 to 1973. It was then given to the Boscawen Historical Society, which leases half the building to serve as the local post office, while using the other half for storage.</p><br>

<p>The Edward H. Bennett House and Studio is an architecturally significant house in Lake Forest, Illinois, United States. It was designed by and built for Edward H. Bennett, who is best known as an urban planner and architect who worked in association with Daniel Burnham.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Edward H. Bennett was born in Bristol, England and showed an early predilection to the arts. Bennett first practiced in 1892 and later studied at École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, France. He graduated in 1900 and moved to New York City, New York, United States to practice under George B. Post in 1902. Post sent Bennett to work on a project under Daniel Burnham in 1903. This began a nine-year mentorship between Burnham and Bennett.</p><br>
<p>Bennett moved to Chicago, Illinois in 1903 to work more closely with Burnham. He settled in suburban Lake Forest in 1906. Burnham retired a year after the completion of the Burnham Plan of Chicago and Bennett was able to establish an extensive private practice. Bennett married Catherine Jones in 1913 and her father gave them a large parcel of land in Lake Forest at the corner of Deerpath and Green Bay Road. Bennett began designing an estate house for the lot two years later.</p><br>
<p>The house, which the Bennetts called "Bagatelle", was completed in 1916. It was modeled after its namesake French country house, Le Chateau de Bagatelle. The gardens were likewise based on the Bagatelle Gardens in the Bois de Bologne. Bennett intended the residence to only be a summer house, but the Bennetts spent most of their time in the house. Bennett designed a zoning plan for Lake Forest in 1923 and a city plan in 1929. He moved into the house full-time in 1930 after remarrying. In 1936, he designed and built a studio on the southwest corner of the lot. The studio was designed in the Streamline Moderne style; this was probably due to Bennett&#39;s connection with the 1933 Century of Progress.</p><br>
<p>Bennett retired in 1944 and spent the next ten years at his houses in Lake Forest, North Carolina, and New Mexico. The house was recognized by the National Park Service with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places on March 3, 1995.</p><br>

<p>The John Taylor Snite House is an architecturally-significant house in Highland Park, Illinois, United States. It was built for John Taylor Snite, a prominent businessman and sailor.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Snite house was built in Braeside, one of the last areas on the east side of Highland Park, Illinois to be developed. The land had been in the possession of early settlers and wasn&#39;t sold for development until the 1920s. Baird & Warner was commissioned to subdivide the property that had belonged to Charles H. Deere (son of John Deere) in 1924. The Deere Park Subdivision was created that year with strict guidelines on what kinds of residences could be built.</p><br>
<p>John Taylor and Katherine Snite purchased Lot 25 in Deere Park on January 6, 1936. Snite was the son of the founder of the Imperial Credit Corporation of Chicago. Snite would serve as Chief Financial Officer and president of the company. Snite was an avid sailor and wanted a house with a "ship room" to hold his yacht, The Bagheera, and his sailing trophies. The ship, designed by John Alden, sailed in the Bermuda Race and twice won the Chicago Yacht Club Race to Mackinac (1929 and 1932). Snite served as a sailing instructor at nearby Naval Station Great Lakes during World War II.</p><br>
<p>The house was designed by Jerome Cerny, who designed over 700 houses over his thirty-five year career. A protégé of David Adler, Cerny specialized in country houses. The Snite house was one of Cerny&#39;s first to incorporate modern design aesthetics. The house is predominately châteauesque but includes some Art Deco and Streamline Moderne elements. The Architectural Record praised the house in 1940 for this transitional character.</p><br>
<p>Snite sold the house in 1947 and moved to Wilmette and Winnetka, Illinois. They then retired to La Jolla, California in 1972. The Harris family purchased the Deere Park house in 1947. R. Niesen Harris was an executive at a chemical products company and was a prominent socialite, entertaining Doris Day, Cary Grant, Louis Armstrong, and Debbie Reynolds at the house. The Harris family extended the property in 1956 and made some minor additions, including a fallout shelter. The house was recognized by the National Park Service with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places on August 19, 2003. The Bagheera, now in Portland, Maine, was similarly recognized on November 4, 2009.</p><br>
