<p>The Anneslie Historic District encompasses a residential area just north of the city line of Baltimore, Maryland in Towson. It is a grid of five streets extending eastward from York Avenue and south from Regester Avenue. The area was platted out in 1922 and mostly built out by the 1950s. Properties in the northern section of the district, on Regester Avenue, Murdock, Anneslie, and Dunkirk Roads, were built in the 1920s and 1930s, in Bungalow, Foursquare, and cottage styles, while the streets further south were built out primarily with Cape, Tudor, and Colonial style houses. The district is located between Stoneleigh, which features larger lots and more generously proportioned houses, and the brick rowhouses of Rodgers Forge to the west. The district takes its name from Anneslie estate, whose house still stands in the district.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.</p><br>
<p>The Dundalk, Liberty, and Cornwall Gardens are a trio of historic apartment complexes on Dunmanway in Dundalk, Maryland. They consist of a total of 30 two-story brick Colonial Revival style buildings, which were built between 1937 and 1942, and contain garden-style apartments. Construction of the buildings was funded in part by grants from the Federal Housing Authority, whose principles guided the layout of the buildings to maximize natural light, and allow for the creation of car-free landscaped courtyards. As a result, the complexes also include separate garage buildings where residents could leave their cars. Each complex has features that distinguish it from the others.</p><br>
<p>The buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>

<p>Fosnøyna or Fosnøy is an island in the municipality of Austrheim in Hordaland county, Norway. The 26.3 km&sup2; island makes up the majority of the land area of the municipality. The island is located east of the Fedjefjorden and south of the Fensfjorden. The island of Radøy lies just south of Fosnøyna and the mainland of the Lindås peninsula lies immediately to the east of Fosnøyna. The highest point on the island is the 56 m high Bredvikvarden. The island has some trees on it, but the northern part is fairly barren and rocky while the southern part is more marshy. There are two larger villages on the island: the village of Austrheim and the municipal centre of Årås. The island is connected to the mainland road network by two bridges. A series of small bridges connects Fosnøyna to the mainland of Lindås, west of Mongstad and the other connects the south end of Fosnøyna to the island of Radøy (which in turn is connected to the mainland.</p><br>
<p>The Shriver Farmstead is a historic farm located on County Line Road northwest of Virden, Illinois. The farm consists of a historic farmhouse, barn, and smokehouse; it also includes several modern outbuildings and 2 acre of land. Owner John Ryan built the farm&#39;s original buildings from 1858 to 1860. The farmhouse has an Italianate design which features a front porch supported by square posts, paired brackets below the eaves, pilasters at the corners, and a projecting gable above the entrance. The barn, one of two built for the farm, has a New World Dutch-inspired plan which incorporates elements of several barn styles. Dr. William Shriver purchased the farm in 1890, and his family has owned the property until very recently. It is now owned by Doug Daughtry. It has been confirmed as a hot spot for paranormal activity by a local paranormal investigation team. It was part of the underground railroad.</p><br>
<p>The farm was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 29, 1980.</p><br>
<p>The Fred Vonder Ahe House or Von der Ahe House was built in 1869 in the small community of Carus, Oregon, near Molalla for German immigrant Fred Vonder Ahe and his wife Marie Louisa Kleine Vonder Ahe. Fred arrived in New York in 1852 and followed the Oregon Trail to Oregon. He saved enough to acquire a 320 acre farm in 1857, and sent for his fiancé Marie to join him in 1858. In 1887 the house became the Carus post office, as it was the oldest and most significant house in the community. In 1972 the house was under threat of demolition. It was acquired by the Molalla Area Historical Society and moved to a site in Molalla next to the Horace L. Dibble House.</p><br>
<p>The Vonder Ahe House is described as a vernacular interpretation of the Federal style. It is an unusual example of a two-story plank house with well-preserved interior details. The associated summer house was moved with the main house to the new site. The house and summer kitchen were placed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 26, 1976. Both the Vonder Ahe House and the Dibble House are operated as a museum by the Molalla Area Historical Society.</p><br>
<p>The Hewitt House is a historic house on United States Route 4 in Enfield, New Hampshire. The 2.5 story wood frame house was built in 1871 by John W. Dodge, manager of the locally important Shaker-owned woolen mills. The Italianate house is an elegant reflection of Enfields period of great prosperity in the years after the American Civil War. It remained in the hands of Dodges descendants for over a century . The house is three bays wide and two deep, with a gabled roof that has paired brackets in the eaves. The front facade is symmetrical about the main entrance, with paired windows in each bay on the second floor, and projecting polygonal bay windows on the ground floor. The bay window roofs and the front entry portico are covered by shallow-pitch roofs with brackets matching those in the main roof line.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985, and included in the Enfield Village Historic District in 2010.</p><br>
<p>The Holderness Inn is a former 19th century hotel building on United States Route 3 in Holderness, New Hampshire. It is the only such building standing in the Squam Lake area, from a period when there were a significant number of resort hotels around the lake. This 3.5 story wood frame building was built in 1895-6 by John Davison, whose previous hotel building, a converted parsonage, was destroyed by fire. The main block of the building is topped by a gabled mansard roof. A three story wing extends northeast from the main block, and is similarly roofed. The north side of the wing has had a two story shed-roof addition added. The main block has a porch that wraps around three sides.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. It is now owned by the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center, and is open seasonally as an art gallery and craft showroom.</p><br>
<p>The Oakland Mills Blacksmith House and Shop, also known as Felicity, is a historic property at 5471 Old Columbia Road in Oakland Mills, Maryland. The Columbia Road was contracted on 6 January 1810 by the Maryland General Assembly to establish a toll road from Ellicott City to Georgetown. The property includes a 1.5-story wood-frame house, built c. 1820, a single-story blacksmithy, a smokehouse, and the remains of a spring house. The buildings are set close to the south side of the road. The house was built by the Ridgely family, who owned the original Oakland Mills flour mill complex that appeared on the Anne Arundel County tax list in 1798. The wood stable was used to raise Percheron workhorses for local farms. In 1878, Samuel F. Whipps  moved from his father William Whipps house at "Rebeccas Lot"  to Felicity. He operated the Oakland mills post office and blacksmith shop with his son William Whipps. Future Circuit Court Judge James A. Clark, Sr. worked for a Mr. Whipps on-site in the late 1800s. The property was later purchased by a Mr. and Mrs. Frank Collins. Both the house and smithy are extremely well preserved; the smithy, which ceased operation in 1950, houses one complete forge and parts of a second.</p><br>
<p>The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011. A 2001 book, "Roads to Howard&#39;s Past ", boasted about the Maryland Department of Transportation circumventing the historic properties, but by 2014 the historic register was changed to declare the property was not historic. County Executive Ken Ulman was part of the 2010 ground breaking for a road-widening project in front of the historic structures. The project to increase traffic capacity and develop extra density in downtown Columbia will reduce the property size, relocate Old Columbia Pike, and install sound walls.</p><br>
<p>The Varsity Theatre is a historic movie theater in Martin, Tennessee. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Varsity Theatre was built in 1949 for the Ruffin Amusement Company of Covington, Tennessee. When it opened, it was the premier movie house in Martin and Weakley County, seating 1,000 people in its air-conditioned interior. The name "varsity" was chosen in recognition of the University of Tennessee College in Martin.</p><br>
<p>The building design, by the architecture firm Speight and Hibbs of Clarksville, Tennessee, incorporates elements of the Art Deco and Art Moderne styles. The exterior of the building has the streamlined appearance that characterizes Art Moderne design, including extensive use of rounded edges and horizontal lines. Art Moderne elements are also present in the interior, along with Art Deco-style lighting and wall decor. Built in the Jim Crow era, the building design provided segregated facilities for African-American moviegoers, who used a separate entrance door to get to the theater balcony and to segregated bathrooms and a drinking fountain located in the stairwell.</p><br>
<p>The theater operated until 1987, then closed for several years because of its owner&#39;s health problems. It reopened in 1992, but closed in 1996, when the building was taken over for use as a church. The church moved out in 2002, and the building stood empty for several years before being converted to its current use as a fitness center and physical therapy clinic.</p><br>

<p>The Morton Matthew McCarver House, also known as Locust Farm, was built in 1850 in Oregon City, Oregon for Morton M. McCarver. The house was prefabricated in Boston with Maine lumber and shipped to Oregon via Cape Horn. At the time of its erection in the 1850s it was therefore an unusually refined residence for frontier-era Oregon. The two story wood frame house was originally about 40 ft deep. Subsequent additions have more than doubled its size.</p><br>
<p>McCarver arrived in Oregon in 1843, but moved to California, profiting from the California gold rush. He returned to Oregon in 1850 on his packet Ocean Bird with the building materials. In 1859 McCarver moved to Portland, selling to the Warner family, who renamed the property "Locust Farm" and lived at the place until 1947.</p><br>
<p>The McCarver House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 21, 1974.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The present building dates from the early to mid 19th century. The first recorded owner was Henry Wells Allfrey (1817–1887) who purchased the house in 1840 and on his death it passed onto his son, Henry Allfrey (1850–1938). On the death of Henry the property was sold and during the Second World War was used by the Iron and Steel Control organisation (part of the Ministry of Supply).

<p>William McCallum, with his wife Susan and their two children came to United States from Canada in 1878. He is listed as a “dry goods merchant” in 1884 with a store at 13 East Main, a few blocks west of his home. In 1899-1900, the firm of Specht-Finney-Skinner opened a department store at 11 East Main. McCallum appeared to have joined that firm as he was no longer listed as self-employed. At age 84, according to the 1930 Census, McCallum was still working as a dry goods salesman. In that year, the house was valued at $12,000.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1884, William McCallum and his wife Susan purchased the property on the northwest corner of Main and College Avenue, which was part of the Woodhull Addition. The following year, construction began on his house, designed and built by Henry Lemster. It cost about $10,500. Between 1893 and 1902, the city revised its street number system, such that the home was variously numbered: ‘’81 East Main’’. ‘’99 East Main’’ and ‘’507 East Main.’’ When the Lincoln Highway was dedicated in 1928 by the Boy Scouts, the city decided to rename Main Street as Lincolnway. Today, the McCallum’s address is “507 Lincolnway.”</p><br>
<p>The McCallums took in boarders for several years between the 1920 census and the 1930. Glen and Clara Dean purchased the house after 1930, but before 1938. Dean was the son of the founder of Valparaiso Plumbing Company, Lyman Dean. They were located at 210 East Lincolnway in the mid-twentieth century. The Lyman Deans lived at 502 College Avenue, a few block south. Dean’s plumbing and heating firm installed the indoor plumbing.</p><br>
<p>Between 1938 and the 1950s, numerous renovations were made. The first was to create an apartment on the second floor, then a second apartment on that floor. Finally, a third apartment was created on the first floor. The Deans claimed also to have taken out all the poplar flooring in the house and replaced it with oak. During these years, they found the original interior shutters. After repairs and staining, they were reinstalled.</p><br>
<p>In 1947, the house to William and Ray Von Doehren. In the 1950s, Mrs. Von Doehren added a family room with a fireplace and a garage on the southside of the house, along with a white clapboard “bump-out” on the west side of the kitchen. The house remained divided into three apartments.</p><br>
<p>Upon the death of Mrs. Von Doehren the house was given to Harriet Troxel. She and her husband, Bob Troxel, moved in around 1980. She willed the house to her daughter, Sharon Swihart. She and her husband moved to the house in 2001. As the tenants have moved out, the Swiharts began to convert it back to a single-family residence.</p><br>

<p>Ninestane Rig  is a small stone circle in Scotland near the English border. Located in the Scottish Borders province near Hermitage Castle, it was probably made between 2000 BC and 1250 BC, during the Late Neolithic or early Bronze Age . It is a scheduled monument  and is part of a group with two other nearby ancient sites, these being Buck Stone standing stone and another standing stone at Greystone Hill. Settlements appear to have developed in the vicinity of these earlier ritual features in late prehistory and probably earlier.</p><br>
<p>The circle (actually slightly oval in form) consists of eight stones fast in the earth (a ninth stone has fallen inwards and lies flat), but six of these are now just stumps of 2 ft or less. Of the two large standing stones remaining, one is a regular monolith a little under 7 ft tall and the other, a pointed stone, is a little over 4 ft tall. According to the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland, a number of similar circles formerly existed in the immediate area; the stones have been removed, but the hollow in the center of each circle and marks in the earth showing the former positions of the stones are still visible. In the immediate area there is also a street of circular pits 8to10 ft deep which may have formed the shelters of the people who set up the circles, although this is not certain.</p><br>
<p>Ninestane Rig is actually the name of the low hill (943 ft high, 4 miles long and 1 miles broad) not be confused with the Nine Stones circle near Winterbourne Abbas in Dorset or the Nine Stones at Altarnun in Cornwall, nor Nine Stone Rig in East Lothian or Nine Standards Rigg in Cumbria.)</p><br>
<h2>Legendary boiling of William II de Soules</h2><br>
<p>According to legend, William II de Soules, who was lord of Hermitage Castle, was arrested and boiled alive by his tenants at the site in 1320 in a cauldron suspended from the two large stones, on account of being a particularly oppressive and cruel landlord.</p><br>
<p>William was also a traitor (he conspired against Robert the Bruce) and, according to Walter Scott, by local reputation a sorcerer. In John Leydens ballad Lord Soulis, Williams mastery of the black arts (provided by his redcap familiar spirit and also learned from Michael Scot) was such that rope could not hold him, nor steel harm him, so (after True Thomas, who was present, had tried and failed to make magical ropes of sand) he was wrapped in a sheet of lead and boiled. According to Leyden&#39;s ballad, in his time (1775–1811) the locals still displayed the supposed cauldron used:</p><br>
<p>However, William II de Soules was not actually boiled alive but died in prison in Dumbarton Castle, probably sometime before 20 April 1321 (and Leydens kettle was actually a relic of the Old Pretenders rebel army of 1715, according to Walter Scott). It is believed that an earlier ancestor Ranulf II de Soules was killed in his teens by his servants in 1207 or 1208, on grounds of general vileness and wickedness; whether or not Williams fate became commingled with Ranulfs in local oral tradition is now impossible to determine. Scott notes that "The tradition regarding the death of Lord Soulis, however singular, is not without a parallel in the real history of Scotland."</p><br>
<p>The Drewsville Mansion is a historic house on Old Cheshire Turnpike in the Drewsville village of Walpole, New Hampshire. The story wood frame mansion was built in 1880 for Bolivar and Sarah Lathrop Lovell. It is a rare local example of Stick/Eastlake style architecture in an area that has predominantly older style buildings. The house is located at the south end of the Drewsville Common, which it faces. The main facade is sheltered by a single story porch with a jigsaw-cut decorative frieze, and a second-story bay projects over the porch above the main entrance. This bay has decorative stickwork and curving brackets. The interior of the house has retained much of its original finish, despite being subdivided into apartments and suffering fire damage in one wing.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<p>The Walpole Academy is a historic former school building on Main Street in Walpole, New Hampshire. It is now owned by the Walpole Historical Society and operated as a local history museum. The wood frame building was built in 1831, and is a fine rural example of a 19th-century Greek Revival academy building. The building has a classic Greek temple appearance, with Doric columns supporting an entablature and a triangular pediment with a fanlight detail. The building is topped by an octagonal, arcaded cupola. The academy building was used as a private school until 1853, when the town acquired for use as its high school. It was purchased from the town by the historical society in 1950.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<p>Concordia Log Cabin College is a historic site in Altenburg, in Perry County, Missouri. The structure is a log building under a protective shelter situated in the Trinity Lutheran Church maple grove. It served as the first college for the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod and was first Lutheran college west of the Mississippi River.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>The log cabin dates to the first settlement of Altenburg, being constructed in 1839, to serve as the first school for the new community. It is now located in the maple grove across from the Trinity Lutheran Church and contains museum exhibits relevant to the history of Altenburg. It was moved to its present location in 1912; and the vertical 2 by oak timbers were attached to the walls to stabilize the structure. The chimney was removed from the cabin at that time; the shelter over the cabin was constructed in 1915. The 20 by cabin is constructed of logs which are only crudely shaped, and have only slight notching. The chinking between the logs is mainly mortar and bricks, with also some stone.</p><br>
<h3>Exterior</h3><br>
<p>The cabin measures 20 by and has a ground floor and a loft. The building rests on a concrete foundation. The floor consists of logs, running east-west, flattened on top to receive the floor boards and notched where they rest on the foundation walls. The building itself is constructed of logs which are crudely shaped and vary in diameter from 6 to 10 in. They show only slight notching and no attempt was made at dovetailing. The chinking between the logs is primarily mortar and bricks. The cabin is ten logs high to the top log. Above the logs, the gable ends consist of unpainted clapboards. The medium pitched ridge roof is sheathed with shake shingles.</p><br>
<p>The cabin possesses one four panel door, located in the center of the north facade. The centers of the remaining facades are occupied by double-hung sash windows. Each window has six over six lights. Directly above the windows on the gable ends are two additional window openings. A six light fixed window fills the opening on the east end; a board and batten shutter closes the opposite opening. The cabin has no chimney.</p><br>
<h3>Interior</h3><br>
<p>An east-west running floor of random width tongue and groove oak boards occurs on the ground floor. The walls are not plastered, leaving the logs directly exposed. The cabin has undergone relatively few alterations. It has been moved at least once, perhaps twice. The first time, if it could be agreed upon (refer to Item 8), in 1840-1841 from Dresden to Altenburg—a distance of approximately one mile, in order to be closer to Pastor Loeber&#39;s parsonage; the second time in 1912 when it was transported from there a few hundred yards to where it now stands in the church grove of Trinity Lutheran Church in Altenburg. At that time, a chimney was removed and two oak beams were placed under the cabin to assist in transporting it; these remained to become the bottom logs of the cabin after it was permanently in place on the concrete foundation prepared for it in the church grove. It was also at this time that 2 by oak timbers were vertically attached to the walls to stabilize the building during the move.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Concordia Log Cabin College is significant as the first college and seminary of the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod educational system. It is also believed to be where the Altenburg Debates were held. Missouri was the destination of the Saxon or Stephanite Immigration of 1838. This unique migration was made up of Germans, principally from the Kingdom of Saxony, who had embraced the teachings and leadership of Martin Stephan. From his pulpit in St. John&#39;s Church in Dresden, Stephan preached an orthodox brand of Lutheranism that ran counter to the trend towards rationalism that for various reasons was increasingly dominating the religious life of Saxony. Stephan was not a great pulpit orator, but he did possess an unusual sensitivity to the spiritual needs of people and between 1823-1837 he attracted a large following. His adherents included not only farmers and craftsmen, but also lawyers, teachers, merchants, high ranking government officials and clergy.</p><br>
<p>The log cabin was constructed in 1839 to serve as the first school for the new community. The school served 11 students - seven boys and four girls – and was styled after the German Gymnasium schools.</p><br>
<p>During the years 1841-1843, Gotthold Heinrich Loeber and Theodor Brohm conducted the affairs of the school. Brohm was then called to New York leaving Loeber to carry on responsibility for half a year. In 1841, the school&#39;s enrollment had dropped to eight pupils; two years later, it had dwindled to five. Loeber managed somehow to keep the school alive. It had become obvious by 1843 that the school must be placed on a sound financial basis if it was to survive. An agreement was made that the Trinity congregation and the Perry County congregations would assume joint responsibility for the maintenance of the school. Trinity was to pay the bills, Perry County would provide food and firewood. Seven dollars monthly was provided by St. Louis to sustain the college. Trinity also recommended John Goenner as a prospective teacher to relieve Loeber.</p><br>
<p>In late April, 1847, at a meeting in Chicago, the Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Missouri, Ohio and Other States was organized with C. F. W. Walther as its first president. Control of the seminary then passed to the synod, having been relinquished by the Trinity congregation, with the understanding that the school be moved to St. Louis. In Altenburg, Loeber and his congregation had no quarrel with synodical control of the college, but they were reluctant to see it taken away from them. At the synods third convention in 1849, however, it was insisted that the transfer be made. Loeber did not live to see the move. While the college during these ten years was small and always on the verge of collapse, it persevered and produced five pastors. It was also a unifying factor, giving the ministers and congregations of St. Louis and Perry County a common objective and contributing to the formation of the Missouri Synod. As for the cabin, it was sold at auction in 1855 by the heirs of Gotthold Loeber. This sale was probably confirmed by an 1859 quit claim deed transferring the cabin and 4.3 acre lot from the Loeber heirs to Gottlieb Funke for $80.00. Funke lived there for the next 38 years. His will in 1893 provided that the cabin and lot be donated to the church in consideration of the Altenburg congregations having cared for him during his illness. In 1912, at the suggestion of Rev. H. Schmidt, the cabin was moved to the church grove in Altenburg. A fund raising drive throughout the synod paid for the protective shelter erected three years later.</p><br>
<h2>Education</h2><br>
<p>December 9, 1839, was the first day of classes. The eleven students who reported that day seven boys and four girls were greeted with an ambitious and rich educational program. Their teachers received no compensation for the school had no finances, but they were well trained in European universities and deeply convinced of the importance and necessity of a sound education. Their institution was patterned after the gymnasium, the Latin grammar school of Saxony, and their program was that advocated for centuries by Christian humanists. The subjects taught were: Latin, Greek, Hebrew, German, French, English, History, Geography, Mathematics, Physics, Natural History, Philosophy, Music and Drawing.</p><br>

<p>Little Wapwallopen Creek is one of the main sources of flooding in Conyngham Township, along with the Susquehanna River. The creek is also the main source of flooding in Dorrance Township and one of the main sources in Rice Township. A 100 year flood of the creek would flood substantial areas. Such flooding would also be exacerbated by backwater flooding from the Susquehanna River.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Little Wapwallopen Creek was entered into the Geographic Names Information System on August 2, 1979. Its identifier in the Geographic Names Information System is 1179707.</p><br>
<p>Historically, a Native American path went from Council Cup up the Little Wapwallopen Creek valley and to Wilkes-Barre. The path ran from Council Cup to the creek and then northeast alongside it before going past Lily Lake and over Penobscot Mountain towards where Wilkes-Barre is now located. The first person to settle in Conyngham Township was Martin Harter, who settled on the creek near its mouth in 1795.</p><br>
<p>In the late 1800s, there was an old ferry road near the mouth of Little Wapwallopen Creek. The Glen Brook Water Company once had plans to construct a dam on the creek and also on its tributary Pond Creek. The Wilkes-Barre Ice Company and the Hazleton Ice Company also dammed a stream in the creek&#39;s watershed in 1912 and 1916 respectively, forming the Ice Ponds.</p><br>
<p>A concrete stringer/multi-beam or girder bridge carrying Blytheburn Road was built over Little Wapwallopen Creek in 1920. It is 33.1 ft long. A concrete slab bridge was built across the creek in 1935 and repaired in 2007. It is 23.0 ft long and carries T-477/Weyhenmyr Street. In 1940, a bridge carrying Pennsylvania Route 239 was constructed over the creek in Conyngham Township. This bridge is a steel stringer/multi-beam or girder bridge with a length of 65.0 ft long.</p><br>
<p>A three-span bridge carrying Interstate 81 northbound over Little Wapwallopen Creek was constructed in Rice Township in 1964 and repaired in 1987. This bridge is a prestressed box beam bridge with a length of 162.1 ft. A bridge of the same type was built over the creek for Interstate 81 southbound in 1965. This bridge was also repaired in 1987 and is 185.0 ft long. In 1975, a prestressed stringer/multi-beam or girder bridge carrying State Route 3008/Ruckle Hill Road was built over the creek. This bridge is 92.9 ft long and is in Conyngham Township. A prestressed box beam or girders bridge was built in Dorrance Township in 1988. It is 63.0 ft long. Another bridge of the same type, but with a length of 37.1 ft was constructed in 1996 for T-406/Georges Road. A steel girder and floorbeam system bridge was built over the creek in 1997. It is 60.0 ft long and carries T-392/Hollow Road.</p><br>
<p>Floodwaters from Little Wapwallopen Creek reached a height of 2 ft over St. Marys Road in Dorrance Township during a storm in 1972. This is the only recorded flooding of a developed area caused by a major storm in the township. The creek also once flooded to a depth of 18 to 20 in over Hislop Road in Rice Township.</p><br>
<p>In August 2002, the Pennsylvania Environmental Council received $57,897.76 to carry out a restoration plan on the upper reaches of Little Wapwallopen Creek. Since 2005, a project to remedy streambank erosion on the creek has been successful. The creek has a watershed association known as the Little Wapwallopen Creek Watershed Association.</p><br>
<h2>Biology</h2><br>
<p>The drainage basin of Little Wapwallopen Creek is designated as a Coldwater Fishery and a Migratory Fishery. Wild trout naturally reproduce in the creek from its mouth upstream for 4.40 mi to T-392. They also do so in the tributary Pond Creek from its headwaters downstream to its mouth.</p><br>
<p>Henry C. Bradsby&#39;s 1893 book History of Luzerne County, Pennsylvania stated that Long Pond and Round Pond, two ponds in the watershed, had a large fish population. The creek was stocked with 700 fingerling, yearling, and adult brook trout in 1909.</p><br>
<p>The greenway of Little Wapwallopen Creek has been proposed as a conservation area in the Open Space, Greenways & Outdoor Recreation Master Plan for Luzerne County and Lackawanna County.</p><br>

<p>Carroll Place, also known as Old Carroll Place, is a historic plantation house located near St. George, Dorchester County, South Carolina. Research completed circa 2012 at the South Carolina Archives in Columbia S.C. shows the house was built circa 1780, and is a plain two-story, Georgian I-house dwelling. It is sheathed in clapboard single house and rests upon low brick pillars. It has a hip roofed verandah supported by six wooden posts. Its builder was likely Thomas Ferguson or David Campbell. In 2008 the house was donated to the Dorchester County Historical Society by current owners Fitzhugh Lee Sweatman Jr and his wife, Martha Westbury-Sweatman. The Dorchester County Historical Society under took an extensive restoration of the Colonial Era Plantation House and when completed, re-designated the house as the Koger-Murray-Carroll house for three of its previous owners who served in the South Carolina General Assembly: Joseph Koger , Soule Murray , and James Parsons Carroll . James Parsons Carroll also served in the South Carolina Court of Equity as a Chancellor and was a signer of the South Carolina Ordinance of Secession. Circa 1974 the house was added to the National Historical Register of Places as the "Old Carroll Place" for which it had become known. The last owner/occupants of the house were the late Fitzhugh Lee Sweatman Sr and his wife Eulalie Knight-Sweatman. Circa 1970 Mr and Mrs. Sweatman Sr built a smaller one story house off to the side of the Plantation House. Mr. Sweatman Sr died on the property in 1975.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<p>Riverview Cemetery is a historic cemetery on North Market Street in Wilmington, Delaware. The cemetery consists of two sections, on either side of North Market Street. The southern section consists of a long, roughly rectangular plot that was purchased in 1872, when the cemetery was founded. The landscaping of this area was designed by Herman J. Schwarzmann, and is the only known example of his work in the state. In 1899 the cemeterys size was doubled by the acquisition of a trapezoidal parcel on the north side of North Market Street. This section was laid out by the cemeterys superintendent, Goldsmith C. Nailor. The northern section is the location of the state&#39;s first community mausoleum, a Classical Revival structure built in 1917 to a pattern design by the American Mausoleum Company of Clyde, Ohio. The cemetery was founded and established by a consortium of Wilmington fraternal and social organizations as the Riverview Cemetery Company. Today, it is owned and operated by the Friends of Historic Riverview Cemetery.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.</p><br>

He is notable for being United States Ambassador to Japan, and they were the parents of diplomat Lincoln MacVeagh. The estate was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The MacVeaghs became interested in the Harrisville-Dublin area after visiting his uncle Franklins estate of Knollwood. With an interest in their Scottish heritage, the MacVeaghs named their estate after a place associated with Mrs. MacVeaghs family, and built a recreation of a medieval country estate on a hill side with views of Mount Monadnock. The design inspiration of the main house is said to be Kelmscott Manor in England, the Scottish Fasnacloich having burned in the 19th century. It is a two story masonry construction, with clusters of chimneys typical of Jacobean houses, and a slate roof. The window frames and wooden trim of the house were made of wood cut on the property. The house is in an asymmetrical U shape, with the base of the U 114 ft long, and arms of 70 ft (south) and 58 ft (north).</p><br>
<p>The house is approached by a long drive that ends in a circular are in front of the eastern facade, which has two entries sheltered by porches. The interior of the main wing includes an entry hall, three bedrooms, and a grand 60 ft hall on the ground floor, whose walls are finished in half-timbering filled with stucco. The south wing houses a library and another large room, the two story "Terrace Room", which measures 17 ft by 55 ft, and was used as a performance space. It is three fireplaces and three monumentally large windows made of small leaded panes; these windows stand under steeply pitched gables. The south wing is connected to the north wing via a cloister-like walkway along the west side of the main wing.</p><br>
<p>The north wing houses the kitchen, servant work areas, a large dining room, and smoking room on the first floor. There is an Episcopal chapel on the second floor. To the north of this wing is the 1916-17 addition, with a greatly expanded library. Bookcases line the walls, separated by paired Tuscan columns in this room, which measures 31 ft by 46 ft.</p><br>
<p>The most prominent feature of the estate&#39;s landscaping is the four-level terrace that extends down the hill from the south wing. The top level has a fieldstone retaining wall topped by a balustrade with Jacobean balusters. The garden descends to the fourth level, where there is an octagonal pool at whose center is fountain imported from Italy.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Plans for the house were drafted by A. S. Bell, although credit for most of its design and decoration go to Fanny MacVeagh. The MacVeaghs are known to have had as guests a wide variety of acquaintances from political, social, artistic, and literary circles.</p><br>
<p>Cedar Grove is a historic plantation house located near Edgefield, Edgefield County, South Carolina. It was built between 1790 and 1805, and is a large two-story, Federal style house with a white clapboard exterior and high gable roof.

<p>Deadwood Draw is part of the Sidney-Black Hills Trail near Sidney, Nebraska, which provided supplies for gold mining operations in the Black Hills from 1874 to 1881. The draw served as a staging area for freight wagons carrying supplies to the Black Hills and contains ruts caused by the wheels of the freight wagons and the animals that pulled them. The draw is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>In 1868, the USA government signed the Fort Laramie Treaty, which promised the Lakota people that the Black Hills would be exempt from white settlement. However, in 1874, an expedition into the Black Hills led by George Armstrong Custer, found deposits of gold. In 1876, Custer&#39;s discovery of gold led to the Black Hills Gold Rush. Initially, the U. S. government attempted to purchase or lease the Black Hills from the Lakota, but the government was unwilling to pay the price asked by the Lakota. When the talks broke down, the U. S. government ignored the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868 and allowed the gold seekers to rush into the Black Hills. The Black Hills gold rush subsequently created a high demand for supplies by the gold seekers.</p><br>
<p>In 1876, Sidney, Nebraska was a small town on the Union Pacific railroad.</p><br>
<p>With the opening of the Clarke bridge, the Sidney-Black Hills trail began carrying larger quantities of freight to and from the Black Hills mining operations. During the summer of 1876, the Pony Express began operating along the trail, as did several stagecoach lines. In 1876, there were an estimated 10,000 gold seekers in the Black Hills and their demand for supplies was so high that approximately 50 to 75 freight wagons left daily from Sidney, each wagon carrying 8,000 lb of supplies.</p><br>
<p>In 1879, the Black Hills gold rush ended and so did the need for high passenger service along the trail. Company gold mining, however, continued and so the need for freight transportation along the trail increased. From 1878 to 1879, an estimated 20,000,000 lb of supplies were transported to and from Sidney. By 1880, with the completion of the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad to Pierre, the transportation of freight along the trail dramatically dropped. It was quicker and cheaper to transport supplies along the new railroad than to use freight wagons along the Sidney-Black Hills trail. By the end of 1882, the trail was completely closed.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Deadwood Draw is located about 3 mi northwest of Sidney, Nebraska, and close to the Union Pacific railroad from which supplies could be loaded onto freight wagons headed for the Black Hills via the Sidney-Black Hills trail. The draw is a wide, flat area that gently slopes up and out of Lodgepole Creek Valley and away from Union Pacific railroad and on to the Sidney-Black Hills trail. A gully channel meanders along the draw and ranges in depth from 3 ft to 10 ft. As of 1992, there were three sets of wagon-wheel ruts and ruts cause by the oxen and horses that pulled the wagons. The rut pairs range in width from 4.1 m to 5 m.</p><br>
<h2>Historical significance</h2><br>
<p>Deadwood Draw was a staging area for freight wagons using the Sidney-Black Hills trail. As of 1992, when it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places, it had well-preserved ruts caused by freight wagons, stage coaches, and the animals that pulled them from 1874 to 1881. On the south end of the draw there is a depression in the ground that is thought to be the remnants of a 19th-century dugout that may have been occupied during the period of historical significance. Close to the middle of the draw is a small limestone quarry that supplied much of the limestone used to construct early buildings in Sidney.</p><br>
<p>Brandywine Park is the first city park established by the city of Wilmington, Delaware. It is located on the banks of Brandywine Creek, between Augustine Road and North Market Street. The park was established in 1886, and was designed by Samuel Canby, the city&#39;s parks commissioner, in consultation with Frederick Law Olmsted. Although initially laid out as a bucolic park with winding paths and roadways, it has since expanded to include active recreation facilities.</p><br>
<p>The park is approximately 178 acres and it spans both the north and south banks of the Brandywine. Much of the park has been preserved as a mix of wilderness and open space with walking trails and scenic views of the creek and surrounding woods. The open space section of the park includes two formal gardens, a rose garden and a cherry blossom garden. The Brandywine Zoo was created in 1904 and now occupies 12 acres of the park. Brandywine Park also includes active recreational facilities including playgrounds, athletic fields, and Baynard Stadium.</p><br>
<p>The park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. It is a unit of Delaware&#39;s Wilmington State Parks.</p><br>
<p>The Gregory Dipping Vat is a historic cattle dipping facility at 122 Rogers Street on the outskirts of Lake Village, Arkansas. The vat is a concrete structure 27 ft long, 4 ft wide, and 7 ft deep. It is located on a grassy lane off Rogers Road, in a wooded area not far from Bayou Macon, whose waters were used to fill it. The vat was built c. 1930 as part of a statewide program to eradicate Texas tick fever, which was at the time a serious problem affecting the area&#39;s cattle farmers. After the program was ended in 1943, the vat became a play area for local youth. It remains in good condition as a reminder of the economically important tick eradication program.</p><br>
<p>The vat was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<p>The Harden Family Cemetery is a historic cemetery in rural Chicot County, Arkansas. It is located in a horse pasture off Hardin Road, north of the hamlet of Jennie, which is on Arkansas Highway 13 south of Lake Village. The small family cemetery, which is not visible from the road, contains fourteen marked graves, dating from 1892 to the 1960s. All are for members of the Harden family, who were an African-American family prominent in the life of the small community, and among the earliest of their race to settle the area. The patriarch of the family, John Harden, Sr., was a freed slave who died in 1892. One grandson was a local pastor, another was a schoolteacher.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>Sydney Harbour is the 10-mile long Y-shaped inlet of the Atlantic, oriented southwest-northeast on the northern shore of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada. At its upper reaches, the harbour forks to form 2 arms, the Northwest Arm and the South Arm. The South Arm is fed upstream by the Sydney River.</p><br>
<p>Sydney harbour is the maritime hub for the city of Sydney, Nova Scotia. Located on the South Arm, Sydney affords year-round ice-free deep-water anchorage for large ships, including cruise ships.</p><br>
<p>The Harbour underwent major dredging in 2011, clearing the channel to 17-meter depth and making it accessible to large container ships. Five port facilities currently operate on the shores of Sydney Harbour: the International Coal Pier, Nova Scotia Lands, Sydney Marine Terminal, Sydport Industrial Park (Edwardsville) and Marine Atlantic (North Sydney). The sixth, the new container terminal is being planned for Edwardsville.</p><br>
<p>The Plehwe Complex is a set of historic saltbox houses on Boerne Stage Road near Leon Springs in Bexar County, Texas, United States. The place is also known as Plehwe Stage Coach Inn, a competitor to the Aue Stage Coach Inn just around the corner in 750 yards distance. The buildings were added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 15, 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Owners</h2><br>
<p>The original owners were Capt. Charles Felix George von Plehwe and his spouse Mina Sophie von Plehwe, who did not have any children of their own. Charles was the nephew of Senior General Bernard von Plehwe of the Prussian Cavalry. Charles looked after the “half-wit” son Otto von Plehwe (a.k.a. Fritz von Plehwe), who immigrated approximately 1862 together with his orderly, the former valet of his father, Joseph Peter Potschernick. Joseph had the fare to return to Germany but elected to remain with the von Plehwe family in the United States.</p><br>
<p>The buildings on an 100-acre ground are now owned and maintained by George Strait.</p><br>
<p>The House at 380 Chiltern Drive is a historic house located at 380 Chiltern Drive in the Deerpath Hill Estates development in Lake Forest, Illinois. Developer Henry K. Turnbull and architect Stanley D. Anderson, the planners of the original Deerpath Hill Estates development, built and designed the house in 1930 as part of the development&#39;s second addition. The house has a French Norman Revival design in keeping with the revivalist styles used throughout the development; its design features a stair tower, steep roofs with flared eaves, and wall dormers with casement windows. The house is the only one built and designed by Turnbull and Anderson in the second addition and was the last house built by the duo before the Great Depression bankrupted Turnbull.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 12, 2006.</p><br>
<p>The House at 965 Castlegate Court is a historic house located at 965 Castlegate Court in the Deerpath Hill Estates development in Lake Forest, Illinois. Developer Henry K. Turnbull, who planned the original section of Deerpath Hill Estates, built the house in 1930. The house is located at the northern entrance to the First Addition to Deerpath Hill Estates; it is technically outside of the development, and was marketed as being in the "Deerpath Hill Estates district". It is the only house Turnbull built outside of the original three sections of Deerpath Hill Estates; its location served to draw potential buyers into the estate from Waukegan Road. The house has a Colonial Revival design in keeping with the revivalist styles used in the development; its design features two stone-faced gables and a developed cornice.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 12, 2006.</p><br>
<p>Williams Island is an island in the Australian state of South Australia located off the south coast of Jussieu Peninsula on Eyre Peninsula approximately 34 km south-east of Port Lincoln. It was named by Matthew Flinders for Robert Williams who subsequently lost his life along with seven other crew in the capsize of a cutter launched from the HM Sloop Investigator to search for water on 21 February 1802. Since 2004, the island has been part of the Memory Cove Wilderness Protection Area.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Williams Island which is approximately 34 km south-east of Port Lincoln and 1.8 km south-south-east of West Point on the Jussieu Peninsula is broadly a U-shaped island with a maximum height of 40 m and an area of 141 hectare. While the island is bordered by cliffs, a bay with a sandy beach on its north coast provides both a sheltered anchorage for most wind directions and a point of access to the island.</p><br>
<h2>Formation, geology and oceanography</h2><br>
<p>Williams Island was formed about 9100 years ago when sea levels began to rise at the start of the Holocene.</p><br>
<p>The islands geological structure consists of an upper platform of calcarenite laying over on ‘a U-shaped ridge of pink granite, dark coloured porphyritic granite gneiss with intrusions by large, dark dolerite dykes.’ The open end of the U aligns with the islands northern coast. The U-shaped ridge is visible as an ‘encircling wall of steep cliffs and talus slopes’ over which the ‘calcarenite platform starts as a talus slope of fractured rock and scree or as low cliffs and overhangs’ thickens into ‘a thick layer of soil’ covering most of the island.</p><br>
<p>The island rises from the sea floor at approximately 50 m over a distance of approximately 0.75 km to 1 km.</p><br>
<h2>Flora and fauna</h2><br>
<h3>Terrestrial Plants</h3><br>
<p>As of 1996, a total of 26 plant species was reported as being present. The island’s upper platform is dominated by a shrubland of saltbush, dominated by marsh saltbush and grey saltbush while herbfields dominated by austral storksbill are present on low granite outcrops at several locations near the island’s south east tip where the underlying granite strata has passed through the island’s calcareous topping.</p><br>
<h3>Terrestrial animals</h3><br>
<p>As of 1996, a total of one mammal, 11 bird and three reptile species were reported as being present on the island. Of particular note, is the bush rat, the black tiger snake which predates on the bush rat population and short-tailed shearwaters which are reported as using the island as a breeding colony.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The island was first sighted by Europeans on Saturday 20 February 1802 from HMS Investigator whilst under the command of Matthew Flinders and was named on that day after seaman Robert Williams. Williams subsequently lost his life, presumably drowned, along with seven other members of the crew on Sunday 21 February 1802 when one of the HMS Investigator’s cutters capsized near Cape Catastrophe. The island was surveyed by Thomas Lipson, RN in 1840 as part of an ongoing South Australian Government program to map the colony’s waters, identify shipping hazards and assess the suitability of the coastline for settlement.</p><br>
<h2>Navigation aids</h2><br>
<p>A navigation aid consisting of a 6 m tower with a single flashing light was located on the west side of the island since 1963. An area of land of approximately 0.3 hectare in size is reserved for use by the responsible government agency, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA). Access to the Island for the maintenance of the navigation aid is via helicopter.</p><br>
<h2>Economic activity</h2><br>
<h3>Gauno</h3><br>
<p>Williams Island is one of the island sites from which guano was mined under licence from the South Australian Government prior to 1919.</p><br>
<h2>Protected area status</h2><br>
<p>Since 30 September 2004, Williams Island has been part of the Memory Cove Wilderness Protection Area. Previously, it had been part of the Lincoln National Park. As of December 2012, the waters surrounding the island are in the Thorny Passage Marine Park.</p><br>
<p>Little Island is an island in the Australian state of South Australia located in Spencer Gulf off the east coast of Jussieu Peninsula on Eyre Peninsula approximately 28 km south-east of Port Lincoln. It was named by Matthew Flinders in memory of John Little who was one of the eight crew lost from a cutter that capsized sometime after being launched from the HM Sloop Investigator to search for water on 21 February 1802. Since 2004, the island has been part of the Memory Cove Wilderness Protection Area.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Little Island which is located approximately 28 km south-east of Port Lincoln and is located 926 m north of Lewis Island, has a maximum height of 8 m. Access to the island is limited by the absence of a coastline sheltered from swells and tidal streams, and the unsuitability of the island’s terrain for the landing of helicopters.</p><br>
<h2>Formation, geology and oceanography</h2><br>
<p>Little Island was formed about 8400 years ago when sea levels rose at the start of the Holocene. The island is predominantly granite which is eroded to the extent that the island is divided into two sections. Each section has a calcarenite capping that reaches a height of 8 m above sea level. The island rises from the seabed at 30 m almost vertically on its south east face while the same transition occurs over a distance of almost 200 m on its north west face.</p><br>
<h2>Flora and fauna</h2><br>
<p>As of 1996, the flora is reported as being a shrubland composed of marsh saltbush while the fauna is reported as consisting of the following vertebrate animals: sooty oystercatchers and Pacific gulls and ‘a large colony’ of Australian sea lions.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The island was one of several first sighted by Europeans on Saturday, 20 February 1802, from HMS Investigator whilst under the command of Matthew Flinders entered what is now Spencer Gulf.</p><br>
<p>Flinders named the island on Wednesday, 24 February 1802, in memory of John Little who lost his life, presumably drowned, along with seven other members of the crew on Sunday 21 February 1802 when one of the HMS Investigator’s cutters capsized near Cape Catastrophe.</p><br>
<h2>Protected areas status</h2><br>
<p>Since 30 September 2004, Little Island has been part of the Memory Cove Wilderness Protection Area. Previously, it had been part of the Lincoln National Park. As of December 2012, the waters surrounding the island are in the Thorny Passage Marine Park.</p><br>
<p>Road Salt Pond, also known as Road Bay Pond or simply Road Pond, is a wetland in Anguilla, a British Overseas Territory in the Caribbean Sea. It is one of the territory’s Important Bird Areas .</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Road Salt Pond is a circular, 43 ha lagoon. It is the largest enclosed body of water on the island. It lies in the Sandy Ground district near the north-west coast of the main island. The dunes separating it from the sea at Road Bay on its western side have been flattened and built upon. It is bordered on the north and south by low hills supporting low dry forest and scrub as well as residential housing.</p><br>
<h3>Birds</h3><br>
<p>The IBA was identified as such by BirdLife International because it is a breeding site for least terns (with up to 123 birds recorded), as well as supporting populations of Caribbean elaenias, pearly-eyed thrashers and Lesser Antillean bullfinches.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The pond has a long history of being used to produce salt, and the remains of saltworks infrastructure are visible around its edge. More recently, parts of the pond have been reclaimed for road construction and parking space.</p><br>
<p>The John Tushek Building is a historic commercial building at 108 Main Street in Lake Village, Arkansas. The two story brick building was built in 1906 by John Tushek, an Austro-Hungarian immigrant who ran a mercantile store on the premises. The building has vernacular Beaux Arts styling popular at the time, presenting facades to both Main and Court Streets. The ground floors of these facades are divided into storefronts with large glass windows, with access to the upper floor offices via an entrance on the corner. The second floor windows are capped with decorative metal crowns, and topped by small oculus windows. The facade is topped by a corbelled brick cornice and parapet.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993,</p><br>
<p>The Lake Village Commercial Historic District encompasses the historic commercial heart of Lake Village, Arkansas, the county seat of Chicot County in the Mississippi River delta region of southeastern Arkansas. The district covers about six square blocks of downtown Lake Village, bounded roughly by Jackson Street to the north, Lakeshore Drive to the east, Church Street to the south, and Chicot Street to the west. This area represents the growth of Lake Village during its period of greatest prosperity, between 1906 and 1960. The citys growth was spurred by the arrival of the railroad in 1903, and most of the districts buildings were built between 1900 and 1930. Most of the buildings are vernacular commercial buildings; the John Tushek Building at 202 Main Street is one interesting example of Beaux Arts styling, and 218–222 Main Street has some Italianate styling. The district includes the Lake Village Confederate Monument, which has been a local landmark since 1910.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<p>Beech Hill Pond is a lake in Otis, Hancock County, Maine, in the United States. It is 4.5 miles long, half a mile wide, and up to 104 feet deep. Trout, salmon, and other species of fish have been observed in the lake. Bald eagles and loons also live on the shoreline.</p><br>
<h2>Location and description</h2><br>
<p>The pond is located near Maine State Route 180.</p><br>
<p>Beech Hill Pond has an area of 1,351 acre and a maximum depth of 104 ft. The temperature at the surface is 74 &deg;F, while at a depth of 100 ft, the temperature is 46 &deg;F.</p><br>
<p>In 1912, the volume of Beach Hill Pond was 322,000,000 cuft.</p><br>
<p>Beech Hill Pond experiences erosion and also lacks a buffer in some places. The Secchi depth of the lake was approximately 13 m in 1999, 11.5 m in 2003, 9 m in 2004, and 8.5 m in 2007.</p><br>
<h2>Shoreline</h2><br>
<p>There is a cave located 12 ft underground on the western side of Beech Hill Pond. Ice has been found in it as late as July, causing it to be known as the "Cold Cellar".</p><br>
<p>The terrain at the edges of the Beech Hill Pond is relatively steep.</p><br>
<p>90 percent of the shoreline of Beech Hill Pond is developed. Development in the area has substantially increased since the early 1950s.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>A public boat landing was built on Beech Hill Pond in 1983.</p><br>
<p>In 2012, the ice receded from Beech Hill Pond on March 21, which is the earliest that it has left the lake since at least 1878. Prior to 2012, the earliest the ice had receded was April 2 (in 2006) and the latest it had receded was May 17 (in 1888).</p><br>
<h2>Biology, and recreation</h2><br>
<p>Fish found in Beech Hill Pond include salmon, rainbow trout, lake trout, brook trout, smallmouth bass, and several others. Pickerel are rare in the pond and the white perch population is declining. The largest lake trout in Maine was caught on the lake in 1958. It weighed 31.5 lb. Icefishing is also done on the lake.</p><br>
<p>Beech Hill Pond was said to be one of the "best bets for Maine lake trout" by Tom Seymour. It is impossible to fish from the lake&#39;s shore, although fishing can be done out on the lake.</p><br>
<p>The pond is a coldwater and warmwater fishery.</p><br>
<p>A total of 14 adult loons and one chick were observed on Beech Hill Pond in 2007 and 2008. There are two nesting families of bald eagles on the lake.</p><br>
