<p>White Oak Historic District is a national historic district located near Winnsboro, Fairfield County, South Carolina. The district encompasses 12 contributing buildings in the rural community of White Oak. The buildings in the district were built between about 1876 and about 1925, and includes three large frame residences , a frame church with steeple, two frame store buildings, a cotton warehouse, and two vacant, wooded lots, some of which reflect Victorian stylistic influences. Notable buildings include the T. G. Patrick Store, McDowell&#39;s Store, White Oak Cotton Warehouse, Matthew Patrick House, T. G. Patrick House and outbuildings, and White Oak A.R.P. Church and Manse.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>Mount Brunswick , 1788 m , is a summit in the Britannia Range of the North Shore Mountains on the Howe Sound side of the latter range. The mountain is located just northwest of the village of Lions Bay and is the namesake of Brunswick Beach, a locality on the Howe Sound shoreline below. Brunswick is the highest peak of the North Shore Mountains.</p><br>
<h2>Name origin</h2><br>
<p>Brunswick was, like other names in the Howe Sound area, named in 1859 by Captain Richards in association with the Battle of the Glorious First of June in 1794. The HMS Brunswick, 74 guns, 1,836 tons, built at Deptford, 1790, was commanded by Capt. John Harvey who lost a limb in the conflict. Also in the area is Mount Harvey, also named for the captain, and nearby is Hutt Island, which was named for Captain John Hutt who also lost a limb and commanded the HMS Queen in the battle.</p><br>
<p>The Queitersberg, more rarely spelt Quaidersberg, Quaitersberg or Queidersberg, is a 394-metre-high hill in the northern Palatine Forest in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. On a subpeak is the natural monument of the Felsplatt, a rock formation.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<h3>Location</h3><br>
<p>The Queitersberg lies in the municipal forest of Kaiserslautern between the city, whose built-up area ends 500 metres to the west, and the village of Hochspeyer two kilometres southeast. Abour a hundred metres north of the main summit there is a somewhat lower, plateau-like subpeak with a bunter sandstone rock outcrop. The sandstone formation is a natural monument with the name Felsplatt ("Rock Slab").</p><br>
<h3>Streams</h3><br>
<p>The Queitersberg seals the eastern side of the Kaiserslautern Basin; the watershed runs over it from southwest to northeast, separating the source region of the Lauter from that of the Hochspeyerbach. The Lauter, which is also called the Waldlauter, flows via the Glan to the Nahe and is part of that river&#39;s catchment area. The water of the Hochspeyerbach flows via the Speyerbach to the Upper Rhine.</p><br>
<h3>Surrounding area</h3><br>
<p>Queitersberg is 500 metres from the Queitersberg to the A 6 motorway to the north (Saarbrücken–Mannheim). Between two of its junctions - 16b Kaiserslautern-Ost and 17 Enkenbach-Alsenborn - there is a car park on the southern side in the direction of Mannheim, called Quaidersberg. 1500 metres from the summit to the south is the B 37 federal highway (Kaiserslautern–Bad Dürkheim). In a bowl between the Queitersberg and Hochspeyer lies the spring of Hundsbrunnen.</p><br>
<p>The Lances de Malissard are two summits, located in the Chartreuse Mountains in the Department of Isère, in the French Prealps. More than the peaks themselves, it is the long ridge that is north/south facing, that separate the col de Bellefond and a long alpine valley of another ridge, the Aulp du Seuil, that dominates the Gresivaudan valley. There are two "Lances"  in the Lances de Malissard. The South "Lance" of Malissard culminates at 2,045 m and north "Lance" of Malissard at 2,036 m. The Guiers Vif rises at the north end of the ridge of the Lances de Malissard.</p><br>
<h2>Caving</h2><br>
<p>An important Speleological network is located under the lances of Malissard and not in the centre of the syncline of the Aulp du Seuil. The Malissard River develops on a north-south axis and exits the karst spring of the Guiers Vif. Its development is 17,793 m for 415 m depth. In 1992 the British pass the sump of Guiers Vif cave and make the junction with the Trou of the Flammes discovered in 1973 and located at the top.</p><br>
<p>The Samuel Morey Memorial Bridge is a historic bridge carrying New Hampshire Route 25A across the Connecticut River between Orford, New Hampshire and Fairlee, Vermont. The steel through-arch bridge was built in 1937-38 to replace an older wooden bridge which had been damaged by flooding in 1936. It spans 432 ft, stands about 35 ft above the river, and its arches rise 85 ft above the roadway. It rests on poured concrete abutments that have a light Art Deco or Moderne styling. Wing walls recede from the abutments into the banks in three stepped sections. Below the bridge in the river is visible some riprap, stone remnants of the old bridge&#39;s abutments and central pier. The bridge is of a "tied arch" design, in which the two arches are joined together by ties to distribute the active load. This is in contrast to the Justice Harlan Fiske Stone Bridge joining Brattleboro, Vermont and Chesterfield, New Hampshire, which was built about the same time, and distributes the active load to its abutments. The bridge components were manufactured by the American Bridge Company; construction was by Hagen-Thibodeau Construction Company at a contracted cost of just over $209,000.</p><br>
<p>The bridge is named for Samuel Morey, an early inventor of steamships and resident of both Orford and Fairlee.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<p>The Hohenberg is a high hill in the Palatinate Forest, in the municipalities of Birkweiler, Queichhambach and Siebeldingen. At its summit is an observation tower, a refuge hut and starting ramps for hang gliders.</p><br>
<h2>Observation tower</h2><br>
<p>On the site of the present-day observation tower a telegraph station was erected during the French Revolution in 1794, one of a chain of such stations from Paris via Metz to Landau. The station was abandoned following the transfer of Electoral Palatinate to Bavaria in May 1816.</p><br>
<p>From August to September 1879 an observation tower, just under 9 metres high, was erected at the summit by the conservation societies of Annweiler and Landau. It was built as a cone-shaped pyramid using dry mortarless construction. The core of the tower was mostly made of rubble. A staircase led up the western side of the tower to the viewing platform on the top.</p><br>
<p>In the 1960s the first stones worked loose as a result of age and in 1970 the eastern side of the tower collapsed. In 1971, DM 30,000 was invested in the building of an access track for motor vehicles and the rebuilding of the tower.</p><br>
<p>In 2002 the observation tower collapsed again. A construction site fence prevents access to the tower remains. Restoration costs are estimated at € 120,000. The municipality is trying to obtain EU funding.</p><br>
<h2>Sport</h2><br>
<p>At the western end of the summit are the Schumacher rocks. Two starting ramps for hang gliders have been built here. From the rocks there are clear views of the three castles of Trifels, Anebos and Scharfenberg.</p><br>
<p>The Fayette County Courthouse Historic District is a historic district covering the downtown central business district of Fayette, Alabama. The majority of the buildings in the district were constructed soon after a fire destroyed the town in 1911; the architectural styles reflect common styles in commercial buildings around the Southern United States at the beginning of the 20th century. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976, and the boundaries of the district were increased in 2014.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1883, Fayette County&#39;s courthouse was located about one mile (1.6 km) from the current location of downtown Fayette. That year, the Georgia Pacific Railway line between Columbus, Mississippi, and Birmingham was extended through Fayette County. Merchants began to move along the line, and in 1892, a new courthouse was constructed in the town that had grown near the station.</p><br>
<p>The majority of the central business district, including the courthouse, were destroyed by a fire on March 24, 1911. As the town began to rebuild, the town council passed building codes requiring all downtown structures to be constructed of brick, stone, or concrete.</p><br>
<h2>Contributing structures</h2><br>
<p>The district contains 26 contributing properties, most of which were built soon after the fire of 1911. Most of the properties in the district face Temple Avenue, which runs north-to-south through downtown.</p><br>
<p>The centerpiece is the Fayette County Courthouse, completed in 1912. The two-story, Neoclassical structure sits in the middle of a park with memorials and monuments scattered throughout. A tree-lined sidewalk leads from the street to the courthouse&#39;s portico, which features four Ionic columns supporting a triangular pediment. The building is topped with a columned dome, the front face of which is adorned with a clock.</p><br>
<p>At the south end of the district sits the Southern Railway depot, completed in 1913. The station is constructed of red brick and features a low hipped roof and bracketed eaves. Next to the station is the five-story William M. Cannon Wholesale Grocery Building, completed in 1928. The tallest building in Fayette, it was originally intended to serve as a hotel, but was built with a wooden structure rather than steel, failing to meet the city&#39;s building code.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse and adjacent Fayette County Bank are the only buildings in the district designed in a Neoclassical style. The majority of other buildings represent the Early Commercial style, although some feature influences from Mediterranean and Asian architecture. All but two buildings were constructed of brick: the Old Post Office (completed 1911) is of stone and stucco, and the F.A. Nuckols Building (1912) is of concrete block.</p><br>
<p>Greenville City Hall in Greenville, Alabama is a historic city hall. The building was designed by Montgomery architect Moreland Griffith Smith, and built in 1936–37 by workers from the Works Progress Administration. The building is designed in a Colonial Revival style with Palladian influences, a popular style in the 1930s due to the recent restoration of Colonial Williamsburg. It was built on the site of a grammar school that was originally built in the 1890s, but burned in the early 1920s and again in 1927. The building is constructed of brick, with a full-height portico around the main entry. Each window on the first floor is topped with an ashlar keystone. The corners of the main block are adorned with stone quoins. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>The Mukai Cold Process Fruit Barrelling Plant  in Vashon, Washington, USA, is a former fruit processing plant originally constructed and owned by the Japanese American Mukai family. In 1993 it became the first location associated with Japanese American history to be designated a King County landmark and was listed the following year on the National Register of Historic Places. The National Park Service  describes the 4.8 acre site as "a rare, intact example of a property associated with the history of Japanese American settlement in Washington."</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Sources disagree about Barrelling Plant founder Denichiro Mukais history; one newspaper source says he emigrated from Japan to San Francisco "at age 15 or 16&hellip; in about 1885&quot The NPS says "Sometime after turning 21" he married Sato Nakanishi; Matthews does not give a marriage date, but says that in 1907–08 Denichiro Mukai, Sato, and Satos sister Kuni Mukai arrived in Seattle.</p><br>
<p>Denichiro Mukai&#39;s first American employer, a wealthy sheep farmer, eventually sent him to school, where he learned English.</p><br>
<p>His name became shortened to "Ben," then to the nickname "B.D." He worked subsequently in various jobs in San Francisco including as a police interpreter and head of an employment agency. B.D. and Sato Mukai moved north to Seattle after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. For a time they had a restaurant on Seattles Fourth Avenue. B.D. later worked for Walter Bowen and Company, on Seattles Western Avenue "Wholesale Row." There he became familiar with the strawberries grown on nearby Vashon Island; he and his wife&mdash;she now suffering from tuberculosis&mdash;moved to the island in 1910 to grow strawberries.</p><br>
<p>There were a number of other Japanese immigrants strawberry farmers on the island at the time, including the Sakai and Hoshi families. B.D. Mukai began as a tenant farmer but, exceptionally, one with enough money to hire other Japanese laborers and pickers. He and his family never had to work the fields themselves. A continual innovator, B.D. Mukai hired his own barge to get his berries to market in Seattle ahead of other growers. Sato Mukai died May 1, 1921 of tuberculosis (in 1915, according to Meeker; in 1922, according to Matthews) and B.D. married her sister Kuni, who had traveled with them to Seattle and worked there as a domestic. In 1924 the Mukais set up their first barreling plant; preserving the berries in this manner allowed him to bypass the Seattle wholesalers and, instead, sell worldwide through large distribution companies such as John Sexton and Company. According to the NPS, this "revolutioniz the industry&quot Mukai could sell directly to makers of preserves and ice cream.</p><br>
<p>The Japanese-born Mukai couple could not own land in the United States, so in 1926 they purchased a 40-acre site (including the current Barrelling Plant site) in the name of their young son Masahiro ("Masa"), born 1911. B.D. designed an American-style residence typical of the Pacific Northwest; Kuni designed a traditional Japanese tsukiyama (hill garden; see Japanese gardens) next to it.</p><br>
<p>Masa went on to be a prominent figure in the strawberry industry. He received an engineering degree from Washington State University, developed new farming techniques, and working with the United States Department of Agriculture at the Spokane Street Cold Storage in Seattle was a pioneer of frozen fruit. In 1931 Masa married Mamie Kushi; they had a son, Milton, the following year, but divorced in 1936. In 1937 he married again, to Chiyeko Wakasugi whose family farmed strawberries on Bainbridge Island, an island in Puget Sound north of Vashon.</p><br>
<p>As Masa increasingly took over the business it became "Mukai and Son". The Mukai operation did well despite the Great Depression, employing 400 to 500 seasonal workers, including the pickers. Among these were Native Americans who came from Vancouver Island by canoe. In 1938 the company was renamed as the Vashon Island Packing Company or VIPCO. Eventually, the company&#39;s business became just canning and freezing rather than farming.</p><br>
<p>The business survived the Japanese American internment during World War II. Executive Order 9066 (issued February 19, 1942) ordered the relocation of all Japanese Americans living west of the Columbia River to internment camps. Masa Mukai had the good fortune to be a personal acquaintance of the Lieutenant Commander of the Western Defense Command, and was notified two weeks before the evacuation order, allowing him to move his family (himself, his wife, his son Milton and stepmother Kuni) voluntarily to Dead Ox Flats, Oregon, across the Snake River from Weiser, Idaho where Chiyekos brother lived. His hauler Morris Dunsford operated the business in his absence; Masa Mukai worked in the seed industry in Idaho during the war years and, according to the NPS, "became a respected member of the community" there. He overcame the anti-Japanese prejudices of the locals, introduced row crops in what had previously been primarily cattle country, and invented a seed harvester to capture seeds that would otherwise have been blown away by the areas strong winds.</p><br>
<p>After the war, the Mukais returned to Vashon, but the strawberry business there was no longer profitable. Although he did build a packing plant on the mainland near the Canada–US border in Lynden, Washington and leased another in Forest Grove, Oregon, he drew more on his engineering skills and worked in areas such as the design of sewer systems and water distribution mains, pipeline construction and home building. He slowly sold off the Vashon properties; the plant itself was sold in 1969 to a bean sprout company, and has changed hands several times since then.</p><br>
<p>B. D. Mukai retired in 1935. By this time he and Kuni had divorced. He married for a third time, and traveled extensively. According to Mary Matthews, the outbreak of World War II caught him in Hong Kong. He went to Japan, where he witnessed the bombing of cities and nearly starved to death. After the war, he experienced legal difficulties in returning to the USA He eventually settled in Claremont, California. In 1968 went back to Japan and told his son to sell his (B.D. Mukais) California property and send him the balance of his bank accounts, with which he purchased and restored the familys ancestral home in Osaka, where he died in 1973. Masa Mukai died in 1999.</p><br>
<h2>The complex</h2><br>
<p>The surviving Mukai Agricultural Complex at the end of 107th Avenue S.W. on Vashon Island overlooks the former strawberry fields. The one-story wood frame Barrelling Plant building was designed by Masa Mukai and built by local contractor Deb Harrington. Also on the property are a small brick office building designed and a residence, another both designed by B. D. Mukai. The NPS states that, "The plant is an excellent vernacular example of agricultural industrial architecture, and the house is a well-preserved example of eclectic vernacular architecture with Arts and Crafts and Neoclassical elements of a type built throughout the Pacific Northwest in the late 1920s. The foundation of the two-story house is concrete, and a full basement features a two-car garage on the north. Constructed in a modified ell-plan, the Mukai residence possesses multiple gable roofs sheathed in wood shingles. The formal garden, also included in the historic area, retains interest as a vernacular expression of the adaptation and blending of traditional Japanese garden elements and plant materials with American suburban residential landscaping. It retains most of its original design and many of its original plantings. In its prime, the Mukai garden attracted visitors from on and off the island and was photographed for postcards. The garden also served for notable social functions when tea parties were held to view the cherry blossoms in the early spring." The lettering on the plant&mdash;"Mukai Cold Process Fruit Barrelling Plant&mdash;is a modern (1993) reproduction "in jazzier blue-gray".</p><br>
<p>The designation of the plant as a King County landmark coincided with the 1993 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum, held in Seattle. The King County landmark designation covers a larger area than the NRHP designation, 11 acre rather than 4.8 acre.</p><br>
<p>In 2000, the house and garden, were purchased by non-profit Island Landmarks for $327,806, out of a $469,200 fund for their purchase and restoration. Funds came from the National Park Service, the Washington State Legislature, the Casteel Family Foundation, the King County Office of Historic Preservation, and the King County Office of Cultural Resources, among others. The plan was to restore the garden, develop interpretive public exhibits, maintain the facilities, provide programs and educational opportunities with "free or reduced cost" admissions. According to Helen Meeker, "none of these provisions were fully implemented by Island Landmarks," nor was "an annual review with funding agencies."</p><br>
<p>In June 2012, the members of Island Landmarks attempted to remove the board and elect a new board, but found themselves locked out of the property by a deer fence suddenly installed by former board members. The new board filed a lawsuit against the former board and has renewed fundraising.</p><br>
<p>As of 2014, various matters are still in litigation. Originally, the old board (Mary Matthews, et al.) won a summary judgment overturning the June 2012 election, but on December 23, 2013 a three-judge panel of the Washington Court of Appeals overruled that.</p><br>
<p>Yaynu  is an archaeological site in Peru. It lies in the Ancash Region, Pomabamba Province, Huayllan District. It is a hilltop settlement that is considered the most important evidence of the so-called Recuay culture in the Ancash Region. The site was declared a National Cultural Heritage by Resolución Directoral Nacional No. 682-INC-2004 on June 17, 2004.</p><br>
<p>The stone constructions of Yaynu are situated about 17 km south of Pomabamba at a height of more than 4,000 m, on the northern slope of Pañahirka (Pañajirca).</p><br>
<p>Yaynu is the largest known Recuay site and is best described as a fortified hilltop town. The area of the town is about 25 ha at its core. When counting associated defenses, corrals and terracing, the area is over 105 ha.</p><br>
<p>The central sector is bounded by perimeter walls and long trenches. The buildings are of stone and densely built up.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Survey, mapping and sampling excavations show that its primary occupation dates to cal. AD 400–800, by groups of the Recuay tradition. At the centre of a network articulating small nearby farming villages, Yaynu features an impressive series of natural and built defensive strategies. These worked in concert to protect the community from outsiders and keep internal groups physically segregated.</p><br>
<p>The fortifications are discussed in relation to local political organization and a martial aesthetic in northern Peru during the period. Recuay elite identity and monumentalism arose out of local corporate traditions of hilltop dwelling and defence.</p><br>
<p>The Sayre Champlin Service Station is a historic service station located on old USA Route 66 in Sayre, Oklahoma. The station, an affiliate of the Champlin Refining Company, was built in 1934; it replaced an older station which predated Route 66. Its main building has a Streamline Moderne design which features oval pilasters and horizontal sections, plate glass and multi-light windows, and a contrasting color scheme. The station provided both gasoline and automobile services to Route 66 travelers; in addition, the large tanker trucks used to supply the stations gasoline contributed to the highways traffic. After Interstate 40 bypassed Route 66 in 1958, business at the station declined, and it closed permanently in 1967.</p><br>
<p>The station was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 3, 2004.</p><br>
<p>The Hedlund Motor Company Building is a historic commercial building located at 206 South Main Street in Elk City, Oklahoma.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The building was constructed in 1918 for the Hedlund Motor Company; founded in 1913, the company was Oklahoma&#39;s second-oldest Ford dealership. The Mission Revival building is the only commercial structure in Elk City which uses the style. The building features stucco walls inlaid with clay tiles along the second floor and at the corners and centers of the main facades. Two tiled roof sections project from each facade; the roof sections are lined with brackets on their undersides. Curved parapets run along the roof line of both facades.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 22, 1983.</p><br>
<p>The Whited Grist Mill is a historic gristmill located at the National Route 66 & Transportation Museum in Elk City, Oklahoma. Ruben Whited built the mill in 1903-04; his family operated the mill for its entire existence. The mill ground corn for Elk City&#39;s residents; a sign painted on the outside advertises "CORN GROUND INTO MEAL OR CHOPS AT ANY TIME". A 1928 addition brought a flour mill to the complex as well. The mill closed in 1944 due to replacement machinery shortages during World War II; it was the only gristmill to ever operate in Elk City. In 1985, the mill moved from its original site at 306 E. 7th St. to its current location.</p><br>
<p>The mill was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 1, 1976.</p><br>
<p>Clegyr Boia, or Clegyr Fwya, is a prehistoric site on the St Davids peninsula, Pembrokeshire, Wales, the summit of a long-extinct volcano, 33 to 65 ft above the surrounding area. It is about 1 mi west of St Davids, and about 0.75 mi east of the Pembrokeshire coast. The hilltops rocky outcrop contains evidence of Neolithic and Iron Age settlements. The sites nearest water source was Ffynnon Lygaid, a 1 ft deep pool, fed by a spring. Near the base of the outcrops southern side, the pool is in a small hollow, measuring about 1 ft by 8 in. The site was excavated in 1902 by Sabine Baring-Gould, and by Audrey Williams, for the Ancient Monuments Inspectorate, in 1943.</p><br>
<p>The outcrop became the stronghold of a 6th-century CE Irish pirate named Boia, after whom (with clegyr (crag)) it is now called.</p><br>
<h2>Neolithic</h2><br>
<p>Evidence of Neolithic settlement in Wales is extremely uncommon. Megalithic burial chambers are normally the only Neolithic structures to survive. However, an excavation of the site by Sabine Baring-Gould, in 1903, showed the remains of rectangular and circular Neolithic dwellings. Sherds of Neolithic round-bottomed pottery, polished stone axes and animal bones were also discovered. Baring-Gould thought the pottery may have been wheel-turned. No hearths were found within the dwellings. However, "substantial" charcoal deposits were found on the site, indicating fire was used, and carefully managed. Samples from the area of Neolithic occupation (hut and midden), radiocarbon dated in 1973, indicated a date of around 2370 BP, the beginning of La Tène culture, at the early British Iron Age, but were considered unacceptable by the National Museum Wales.</p><br>
<h2>Iron Age</h2><br>
<p>The hills steep sides were augmented by a single earthen rampart, to form a defensive structure known as a hillfort. Revetted with stone blocks, the walls varied between 9 ft and 15 ft wide and were "faced externally with large slabs set on end". According to Baring-Gould, the enclosures original surface was 2 ft below its 1903 level. The enclosure&#39;s entrance may have been through a tunnel. Radiocarbon dated samples from near the hillfort entrance indicate a date of around 1950 BP (1 BCE), the late Iron Age.</p><br>
<p>Mynydd Allt-y-grug is a 338-metre-high hill immediately west of Ystalyfera in the county borough of Neath Port Talbot in South Wales. Its twin summits are around 400m apart. The upper part of the hill is largely covered in heather whilst conifers clothe its western slopes and gorse, bracken and bramble cover much of its rough landslipped eastern side which rises above the Swansea Valley, drainage on this side flowing to the River Tawe.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>The hill is formed from multiple layers of Pennant Sandstone with intervening mudstone layers and occasional coal seams. All are tilted to the south and southwest towards the axis of the South Wales Coalfield syncline. The lower parts of its western slopes are mantled by glacial till. Much of the eastern side of the hill is a large landslip which is intermittently active and destructive of properties in Ystalyfera and Pantyffynnon.</p><br>
<h2>Scheduled Monuments</h2><br>
<p>There is an ancient cairn, possibly of Bronze Age date, a few hundred metres to the south of the hill&#39;s southern summit.</p><br>
<h2>Access</h2><br>
<p>The upper parts of Mynydd Allt-y-grug are designated as open access under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 as is the conifer plantation which extends across much of its lower western slopes. There are no recorded public rights of way to its summit but a public footpath skirts the hill through the forest to its west and northwest and connects to Ystalyfera via the farmstead of Penlan-fach. There are however a number of other tracks which run across its slopes.</p><br>
<p>The Sawyer-Medlicott House is a historic house at the junction of Bradford and River Roads in Piermont, New Hampshire. The 2-1/2 story brick house was built c. 1820, and is the only Federal style brick building in the town. The house was built for Joseph Sawyer, a real estate speculator and politician. The brick was laid predominantly in common bond, with some rows laid in stretcher bond for variety. Four slender chimneys pierce the gabled roof. The main facade, which faces east, has five bays, with central entry framed by partial sidelights and fluted pilasters, and topped by a segmented fanlight and an elliptical outer surround that is decorated with rosetts and rope moulding.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The Stone Arch Underpass of Lebanon, New Hampshire, carried the Boston and Maine Railroad&#39;s former Northern Line over Glen Road, between New Hampshire Route 12A and United States Route 4. Built in 1848, the stone arch bridge is the railroad bridge of the period to survive in Lebanon, and is an architecturally distinctive and unusual construction. The arch of the bridge is 12 ft high, 18 ft wide, and 12.5 ft deep. The bridge is faced with roughly cut granite blocks of irregular size, with voussoir stones 1.5 ft wide and 2.5 ft high forming the arch. Modern metal tie rods have been added to the arch, and the bridge is capped in concrete, which provides the foundation for the rail bed. The total length of the bridge is about 60 ft. It was built in 1848 by the Northern Railroad, and may have been designed by its chief engineer, H. R. Campbell.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Central of Georgia Depot in Andalusia, Alabama is a historic train station that has been converted into the Three Notch Museum.</p><br>
<h2>Depot history</h2><br>
<p>In the late 1890s, business leaders in Andalusia posted a $5000 prize for the first rail line to pass through the town. The Central of Georgia Railway claimed the prize, completing the track in September 1899, and built a depot on land donated by residents. The town flourished with the new rail connection; population rose from 551 in 1900 to 2,480 in 1910. The last Norfolk Southern train, successor to the Central of Georgia, departed Andalusia on March 31, 1983.</p><br>
<p>The wooden depot is similar in design to other small-town stations along the Central of Georgia line. The one-story, gable-roofed structure is clad with board and batten siding. Two front rooms with separate entrances were used as passenger waiting rooms. At the opposite end of the station is a large freight room. The agent&#39;s office spans the width of the building between the two, and features a gabled bay window. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>Museum</h2><br>
<p>The building was re-opened as a history museum in 1987; named after the Three Notch Trail of which two streets (East Three Notch Street and South Three Notch Street) in Andalusia are also named.</p><br>
<p>Operated by the Covington Historical Society, the museum focuses on County history and area railroad history. Displays include many photographs, a bottle collection, historic cameras and accessories, tools and military artifacts. Other buildings in the museum include a restored post office with a period schoolroom in back, a pioneer log cabin and a country store. There are also two cabooses and a CSX motor car with a model railway layout outside the depot building.</p><br>
<p>The Mason House is a historic house on Snow Hill Road in Dublin, New Hampshire. Situated on a ridge overlooking the Peterborough hills, this two story wood frame house was designed by Alexander Wadsworth Longfellow and built in 1888. Originally a summer house three stories in height, this Shingle style house was reduced to two stories in 1950 when it was prepared for year-round occupancy. The house was built for a pair of spinster sisters, Ella and Ida Mason, who were friends of Raphael Pumpelly, whose summer estate was nearby. The house was occupied in 1910 by James Bryce, then the UK Ambassador to the United States, and was informally dubbed the "British Summer Embassy".</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>Fort Morris is an earthen works fort in Liberty County, Georgia, in the United States. The fort is on a bend in the Medway River and played an important role in the protection of southeast Georgia throughout various conflicts beginning in 1741 and ending in 1865 at the conclusion of the American Civil War, including the French and Indian and American Revolutionary Wars and War of 1812.</p><br>
<p>On May 13, 1970, the fort was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Today it is a state park, Fort Morris Historic Site.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>French and Indian War</h3><br>
<p>The first fort built at the site was constructed in 1741 to protect a plantation owned by Captain Mark Carr. Carr owned 500 acre of land in the area that was granted to him by the Georgia Trustees. Carr was the commander of a company of marine rangers in the British Colonial Army from 1732 - 1751. His plantation came under attack on March 18, 1741 by a group of Indians who were allies with the Spanish colonial forces in Florida. Several soldiers defending the fort were killed in the raid and the contents of the fort and plantation were taken away in a large boat that belonged to the plantation.</p><br>
<p>The next fort at the site was constructed in 1756 at the encouragement of locals who were being attacked during uprising of Creek Indians in the era during the French and Indian War. The fort was expanded in 1758 to provide protection for the new settlement of Sunbury which was built on land owned by Carr. The fort was a square with each side measuring 100 yard. Governor Henry Ellis noted that the fort had a battery of eight guns. By 1762 the fort had fallen into disrepair.</p><br>
<h3>American Revolution</h3><br>
<p>The need to defend the Medway River and Sunbury rose again at the outset of the American Revolutionary War. The Continental Congress authorized the construction of two forts in Georgia. One was to be built at Savannah and the other at Sunbury. A company of artillery consisting of fifty men was sent to the area. Fort Morris was built to the southeast of Sunbury and would be used first as a base for several campaigns to take British Florida and then as a defensive position in defending Sunbury and points upriver.</p><br>
<p>The colonial forces were never able to establish control of Florida, which had become a refuge for loyalists. Royal Governor Patrick Tonyn of East Florida sought to invade Georgia. The East Florida Rangers were loyalists from Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. Indian allies and the British 60th regiment was part of the plan to take Georgia from the Continental Army. The East Florida Rangers, a naval fleet, and loyalists from New York were quickly able to take Savannah in 1778. The 200 Americans at Fort Morris were led by Colonel John McIntosh. McIntosh defiantly replied, "Come and take it!" after the British demanded the surrender of the fort. The British declined to attack and pulled back only to return in January with a larger force.</p><br>
<p>Fort Morris was attacked by the British on January 9, 1779, and was taken the next day. The number of lives lost in the siege is not well documented. Historians suppose that less than twelve American soldiers died and fewer British. The fort was renamed Fort George and was occupied by the British until September 1779, when the fort&#39;s garrison was ordered to Savannah to provide for its defense. After the fort was abandoned by the British it was taken again by colonial forces who found an empty fort with a few, damaged guns left behind. They were only able to hold the fort for a month before it was retaken by the British in October. Fort Morris/Fort George remained under the control of British forces until 1782.</p><br>
<h3>War of 1812</h3><br>
<p>The fort fell into disrepair once again in the years following the Revolution. The need to defend Sunbury and the river rose again with the outset of the War of 1812. Fort Defiance was constructed on the site of the former Fort Morris in 1814. Construction of the fort was not completed prior to the end of the war and it was left unfinished.</p><br>
<h3>American Civil War</h3><br>
<p>Fort Morris and Sunbury played a minor role in the American Civil War. A small group of Confederate soldiers were stationed at Sunbury and may have used the fort. General William T. Sherman&#39;s March to the Sea brought an influx of Union soldiers to the area. They removed some cannons from the fort in 1864 to be taken to Union-controlled forts on the Atlantic coast.</p><br>

<p>The county courthouse of Lincoln County, Arkansas is located at 300 South Drew Street in Star City, the county seat. The two story building was designed by Wittenberg & Deloney of Little Rock and built in 1943. It is predominantly buff-colored brick, with limestone trim, and has a flat roof that is hidden by a parapet. The building&#39;s front, or western, elevation, has a central projecting section that is slightly taller than the wing sections, and is faced primarily in limestone. Four triangular stepped limestone pilasters frame the elements of this section, including the main entrance in the central bay, which now has replacement doors of aluminum and glass. Above the pilasters is a limestone panel identifying the building as the "Lincoln County Courthouse" in Art Deco lettering. It is believed to be the only Art Deco building in the county.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<p>The Star City Commercial Historic District encompasses the historic commercial center of Star City, Arkansas, the county seat of Lincoln County. The district consists of thirteen buildings on two city blocks, as well as the Star City Confederate Memorial. The buildings are located on Jefferson Street, between Arkansas and Bradley Streets, and on Bradley Street between Jefferson and Drew Streets. The memorial is located in the town square, near the junction of Jefferson and Bradley. The buildings in the district were built between 1916 and 1928, and have for the most part escaped major alterations since their construction. Minor changes generally involve changes to store fronts, such as the boarding over of transom windows, the replacement of recessed entries with flush ones, and changes to the fenestration. The building at 108 Jefferson, built in 1927 to house a bar, has been extensively remodeled and does not contribute to the district&#39;s significance; the Star Theater building at 212-214 Bradley has also been extensively altered.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>Wandawega Lake and Wandawega Lake Resort, also known as Camp Wandawega, are located in Elkhorn, Wisconsin. The historic Camp Wandawega  is listed on the https://www.wisconsinhistory.org/Records/Article/CS4541 National Register of Historic Places and the Wisconsin Register of Historic Places. The camp buildings dates to the 1920s when the modest resort was built and operated as a brothel and speakeasy. After many run-ins with the law, the madam, Annie Peck, was finally convicted of running "a bawdy house of ill fame", and sent to https://doc.wi.gov/Pages/OffenderInformation/AdultInstitutions/TaycheedahCorrectionalInstitution.aspx the women&#39;s prison in Taycheedah, WI in 1942. Her husband Gordon Peck was also convicted and served time. The resort was reopened circa 1950 as the Wandawega Lake Resort. The property was purchased by a Latvian order of Catholic priests in 1961. The Latvian Marian Fathers used the property as a Latvian Catholic cultural retreat center, including an informal kid&#39;s camp in the 1970s. The current owners, https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidhernandez/ David Hernandez and http://www.tereasa.info/ Tereasa Surratt, advertising executives from Chicago, have been restoring the property since 2004. Hernandez attended the camp as a child, as he is half-Latvian and his family were regulars there from the 1960s to the 1980s. The camp is on 25 acres and includes a 3-story hotel, lodge, cottages, and historic memorabilia.</p><br>
<p>Wolford Mountain Reservoir is a reservoir in Grand County, Colorado. The reservoir and associated dam are part of the Wolford Mountain Recreation Area, which is managed by the Colorado River District, headquartered in Glenwood Springs, CO. The reservoir dams Muddy Creek and is part of the Colorado River watershed. Construction of the reservoir was completed in 1996.</p><br>
<h2>Recreation area</h2><br>
<p>The Wolford Mountain recreation area offers lake and stream fishing, boat rentals, boat ramps, picnic areas, and 48 campsites. The reservoir is stocked with trout and kokanee salmon. The tailwater section of Muddy Creek below the dam offers rainbow and brown trout fishing on publicly accessible lands.</p><br>
<h2>Dam problems</h2><br>
<p>The Colorado River District revealed in early 2015 that there are some structural problems with the dam, specifically settling and movement of the earthen dam structure. The Ritschard Dam, as it is called, is 122 feet in height and 1,910 feet wide. The dam has also moved horizontally.</p><br>
<p>In 2016 Colorado River District officials and consulted experts determined that the day is safe and does not require extensive rehabilitation.</p><br>
<p>The Moore Farm and Twitchell Mill Site is a historic property on Page Road in Dublin, New Hampshire. The 6.8 acre property includes an early 19th-century farmhouse, as well as the remnants of one of Dublins earliest industrial sites. It lies just south of a bend in Page Road in southern Dublin, where Stanley Brook runs east-west along the south side of the road. In c. 1768 Samuel Twitchell, Dublins second settler, built a sawmill that used Stanley Brook as its power source. This mill was the second established in what is now Dublin, after that of Eli Morse. It was used until the mid-19th century, and now only its foundations remain. The farmhouse of Samuel Moore was built in a glen on the south side of the brook c. 1812, and was a vernacular Cape style farmhouse. The farm was purchased in 1935 by William and Katherine Mitchell Jackson, and the house was move about 100 yd to the top of a rise where it has commanding views of Mount Monadnock. The house was restored and enlarged under the guidance of architects Bradley & Church and again renovated in 1951. The farm complex includes a barn that is contemporaneous to the house, and a caretaker&#39;s cottage that is a 1952 reconstruction of an earlier one destroyed by fire.</p><br>
<p>The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>The Capt. Thomas Morse Farm is a historic farmhouse on Old Marlborough Road in Dublin, New Hampshire. It is a small 1-1/2 story two-room cottage, similar to other early period Cape style farmhouses in the town. It stands on the property of the Dublin Lake Golf Club, serving as a clubhouse. The house is a surviving wing of a much larger house built by Dublin&#39;s first permanent English settler, Thomas Morse. The property was sold out of the Morse family in 1850, and eventually acquired by Livingston Stone, one of the pioneers of the summer colony movement in Dublin. He gave it to Louis Amory, who donated it to the Dublin Lake Club to build its golf course.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>The Catacomb of San Pancrazio  is a catacomb of Rome , located in the Via Aurelia, within the modern Quartiere Gianicolense.</p><br>
<h2>The martyrs</h2><br>
<p>The catacomb is especially renown for the most famous martyr buried in it, Pancras from Phrygia, who came to Rome together with his uncle Dionysus after his parents&#39; death and was decapitated in 304 after refusing to sacrifice to the gods. His body was abandoned on the Via Aurelia and was picked up by a Christian matrona, Ottavilla, who buried him in the closest graveyard, that she probably owned. The cult of St. Pancras highly spread during the Middle Ages, so much so that the catacomb bearing his name was one of the few in Rome that could always be visited by the pilgrims. The first notice about the martyrdom of Pancras comes from the Martyrologium Hieronymianum, that sets the date of the death at 12 May.</p><br>
<p>The ancient sources, particularly the Medieval itineraries for pilgrims, mention other martyrs buried within the catacomb: Artemy, Paulinus, Sophia and her three daughters Faith, Hope and Charity. The resting place of the last four martyrs can probably be identified with the so-called cubicle of St. Sophia.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Between the end of the 4th century and the beginning of the 5th, Pope Symmachus built above the catacomb a basilica consecrated to the martyr and a thermal edifice. In 594 Gregory the Great provided the basilica with a cloister. In 625 Pope Honorius I rebuilt the basilica, with three naves.</p><br>
<p>As mentioned above, San Pancrazio is one of the few catacombs in Rome whose track has not been completely lost during the centuries, even if it has often been confused with other catacombs rising along the Via Aurelia. Antonio Bosio thoroughly studied the cemetery, but he confused it with the cemetery of Calepodius; the two catacombs were distinguished by Giovanni Battista de Rossi in the 19th century.</p><br>
<p>Excavations carried out at the beginning of the 1930s under the floor of the Basilica of San Pancrazio led to the discovery of a Roman street that cut in two diagonally the church; they also brought to light some mausolea and ground graves, both inside the basilica and in its square, such demonstrating that the hypogeous cemetery also included an extended funerary area on the topsoil.</p><br>
<h2>Topography and description</h2><br>
<p>The catacomb has come down to us in not perfect conditions: the tunnels are mostly destroyed and therefore the visit is very short.</p><br>
<p>The hypogeous cemerety can be divided into three main regions.</p><br>
<p>The first region is placed below the left transept of the basilica and behind the apse and its access is still the former entrance, within the left nave. This region was explored in the first half of the 20th century by Father Fusciardi.</p><br>
<p>In the right nave, a trapdoor gives access to the second region, placed below the square in front of the basilica. In this region is it possible to visit:</p><br>
<p>the cubicle of Botrys, from the name of the decedent buried in it: the peculiarity of this grave is that, on his headstone, Botrys declares himself as a christianós, an unusual expression in the Christian graveyards</p><br>
<p>the cubicle of Saint Felix, dating back to the end of the 3rd and the beginning of the 4th century, decorated with a linear red style and elements referring to the sea (ships and fishes)</p><br>
<p>the cubicle of Saint Sophia, housing a white-plastered arcosolium with four graves, that are believed to be the martyr Sophia and her three daughters&#39;.</p><br>
<p>Finally, the third region is placed below the cloister. Within it there are widespread constantinian christograms, which lead the researchers to believe that this part of the hypogaeus cemetery has been built in the 4th century.</p><br>

<p>The Little River Turnpike Bridge carries USA Route 50  across the Little River near Aldie in Loudoun County, Virginia. The two-arch masonry bridge was built in 1826 by the Little River Turnpike Company, which built the roadway that is now US 50. The costs of the bridge were apparently shared between that company and the Ashley&#39;s Gap Turnpike Company. It is one of a small number of masonry arch bridges still carrying a major through road in the state. It is about 108 ft long and 23 ft wide.</p><br>
<p>The bridge has received only modest visible modifications since its construction. Concrete caps have been installed on upper surface elements, and the arch underside has also been protected with shotcrete The upstream central pier has had a concrete fender added to protect it from debris and scouring. The downstream parapet wall was damaged by a truck in 1998 and reconstructed, and in 2004 reinforcing metal rods were injected into the rubble of the bridge to help distribute the active load., the bridge has no weight limit.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<p>Magnolia Plantation, built in 1858, is a private residence located on Louisiana Highway 311, west of New Orleans and 3 mi south of Schriever, Louisiana. The plantation was built to cultivate sugar cane, which was a critical part of Terrebonne Parish&#39;s antebellum economy. The plantation house is one of six surviving Greek Revival plantation houses in the parish. A portion of the film 12 Years a Slave was filmed at the plantation.</p><br>
<p>The plantation was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. According to the List of plantations in Louisiana, Magnolia was given National Historic Landmark status on January 3, 1998.</p><br>

<p>The Washburne Historic District in Springfield, Oregon was established in 1985 and added to the National Register of Historic Places  in 1987. The district includes 29 full blocks and five partial blocks, and it is roughly bounded by A Street on the south, G Street on the north, Pioneer Parkway on the west, and 10th Street on the east. Its total area encompasses 84 acres.</p><br>
<p>Springfield General Hospital, now an apartment building within the district, is individually listed on the NRHP.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Named for banker and flour mill owner C.W. Washburne,C.W. Washburne is named by the Springfield Historic Commission, although the NRHP nomination form mentions his son, Byron A. Washburne</p><br>
<p>the Washburne Historic District is part of an 1852 Donation Land Claim by Springfield founder Elias Briggs. The grid style blocks were platted from surveys between 1872 and 1890. Nearly 44 percent of surviving structures were completed between 1890 and 1915. Most of the district included paved streets and sidewalks by the mid-1920s.</p><br>
<h2>Classification of buildings</h2><br>
<p>The district includes five classes of buildings:</p><br>
<p>The Dothan Opera House is a historic performing arts venue in Dothan, Alabama. It was built in 1914–15 as a municipal auditorium by the growing town. Seating 800, it opened October 8, 1915, with a performance by a local orchestra. The building was designed by Atlanta architectural firm Morris & Morris in a blend of Classical Revival and Italianate styles. The first floor features three central arched entry doors, with a pair of arched windows on either side. The second story is dominated by Ionic pilasters, four in the center section, and three on each side. The pilasters support a limestone architrave beneath a denticulated cornice and parapet roof. On the parapet, in line with each column in the center section is a figurine of an opera singer. A mural painted on the backdrop of the stage depicts the building under construction and some of the more famous acts to have performed in the theater.</p><br>
<p>A new civic center was built across the street in 1971, and the opera house was refurbished at the same time. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<p>Piruro or Phiruru  is an archaeological site in Peru. It is situated in the Huánuco Region, Huamalíes Province, Tantamayo District. The site was declared a National Cultural Heritage by Resolución Directoral No. 533/INC on June 18, 2002.</p><br>
<p>The complex consists of two parts named Piruro I and Piruro II. The latter is situated a bit higher at 9&deg;22&prime;43.98&Prime;S latitude, 76&deg;42&prime;16.44&Prime;W longitude. This archaeological zone has had a long occupation, its first vestiges date from 3000 to 2500 years B.C (Final Preceramic) and they extend until the Tawantinsuyo (Late Horizon).</p><br>
<p>The Fortress of Piruro II can be found in the right side of the river Tantamayo over 3.8 km over the sea level, the first archaeological inspections of the fortress happened during the explorations of Bertrand Flornov around the years 1957 and 1975 and excavations are attributed to Lois Girault between the years 1968 and 1970, the carbon dating from those examinations give a date between 1930 and 2100 years B.C. meaning this fortress was built in the pre-ceramic period, Girault found architectonic remnants of hewn stones that seem similar to those found in Kotosh and certain walls located in Chavin. The fortress is composed of walls build with stones hewn in squared shape and uniform size. The building is composed of 5 floors, where the front of it has rectangular doors and windows. In the front of the building there is a large-scale clearance that shapes a park because in the center of it there are remnants of a stone and mud structure covered by the ground. Currently the building is fenced by stone walls of 1 1/2 meters in height were two rectangular doors protrude, there also is a 4-meter height stone tower near the place where some stones bulge in the backside of the structure that were used as a makeshift ladder.</p><br>
<p>The Eli Morse Sawmill Foundations are the surviving remnant of the first industrial site in Dublin, New Hampshire. The site is located astride a stream, near an old logging road, south of Old Marlborough Road, not farm from the Eli Morse Farm. It consists of four foundation walls made of dry laid granite boulders. The northern wall measures about 10 ft, and the others measure about 23 ft. To the west of the main mill&#39;s foundations are smaller foundations of extensions or outbuildings.</p><br>
<p>The foundations are the only surviving elements of a sawmill erected c. 1765 by Eli Morse, one of Dublins first settlers and a prominent civic participant in the towns affairs. The proprietors of the town offered Morse financial incentives to build the mill in 1764. The mill was operated by Morse and later his son Peter, who died in an accident at the site. The mill is known to have ceased operation by 1886.</p><br>
<p>The mill site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>The Chesapeake Warehouses are a complex of eight former tobacco storage facilities at 1100 Dinwiddie Avenue in Richmond, Virginia. These facilities were built c. 1929, and served as storage facilities for a number of the major American tobacco companies. Each warehouse was a single-story timber frame building with galvanized sheet metal walls, and was about 20,000 ft&sup2; in size. Tobacco was brought into the complex, which originally had fourteen warehouses, by rail, and was delivered to local processing plants by truck. They were in regular use until 1963, when industry practices moved away from the centralized storage of large quantities of tobacco, a practice that resulted in significant losses due to insect infestation. Six of the original warehouses were demolished due to termite infestation.</p><br>
<p>The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<p>The Sayre City Park is a public park located along historic USA Route 66 on the south end of Sayre, Oklahoma. The park formally opened in 1940; however, the land had been owned by the city and used informally as a park for several years prior. The Works Progress Administration built the parks structures according to plans designed by J.N. Willis. The parks bathhouse and swimming pool, the dominant features of the park, have a Pueblo Revival design with ornamental vigas. Other park features include a miniature golf course, a gazebo, and tennis courts. The park attracted both locals and travelers on Route 66, who regularly camped in the park. A local business district also developed around the park, primarily to serve tourists.</p><br>
<p>The park was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 3, 2004.</p><br>
<p>White Knob, Idaho is a ghost town in Custer County, Idaho. It is situated on Mine Hill between the town of Mackay, Idaho and the White Knob Mountains in the Pioneer Mountains.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1879, copper was discovered in the White Knob Mountains near current day Mackay, Idaho. White Knob began as a mining town in this new Alder Creek Mining District. Both an electric locomotive and an aerial cable tramway were built from White Knob to the rail station in Mackay. The town was home to a school, a general store, and post office. The mine closed in 1928 prompting the decline of the town as more residents were living in Mackay. The school was closed in 1932.</p><br>
<p>In 1999 the Mackay Historical Preservation Committee was formed and secured a $250,000 award toward preserving the White Knob and Mine Hill site. They have since reinforced the tram towers, restored the Shay Railroad Trestle, restored several buildings, and installed informative signs and markers along an established trail.</p><br>
<h2>Currently</h2><br>
<p>White Knob is listed as a ghost town on the National Historical Register. It is managed by the South Custer Historical Society and the White Knob Historical Preservation Committee of Mackay, ID, and is accessible to the public by foot, ATV, horseback, and truck. Remaining features of the current site are old road beds, restored railroad trestle, restored and derelict cabins, mill and smelter site, aerial cable tramway towers and headhouse, and grave sites. The extensive site is currently owned by the Bureau of Land Management, private individuals, mining interests, and the Salmon-Challis National Forest. A self-guided tour is accessible to the public from Memorial Day through Labor Day.</p><br>
<p>The Nelson Schoolhouse is a historic school building at 7 Nelson Common Road in Nelson, New Hampshire, United States. It was built in 1838, funded by the citizens of the town&#39;s #1 school district in part through district levies and in part through subscriptions. The ground floor was used for classes, and the second floor was a large space usable for public functions. The building is a 2-1/2 story structure, built of red brick laid in stretcher bond. It has a pair of doorways in the main facade, each topped by a four-light transom window, with a single long granite lintel stone above both entrances. There are two sash windows on the second level, offset from the doorways toward the sides of the building, and there is a centered pointed-arch window near the point of the gable. The building is topped by a small wooden tower with an open belfry and a shallow-pitch pyramidal roof.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. It presently houses town offices.</p><br>
<p>The Philip H. Sheridan Reserve Center is the former Fort Sheridan now in Lake Forest, Highwood, and Highland Park in Lake County, Illinois, United States. It was originally established as a United States Army Post named after Civil War Cavalry General Philip Sheridan, to honor his services to Chicago. When the main fort was officially closed by the Army on May 3, 1993, the majority of the property was sold by the Department of Defense to commercial land developers. Most of the original housing structures were then refurbished and resold as a residential community. Other buildings were given to cultural organizations like Midwest Young Artists, the largest youth music program in the Midwest. Approximately 90 acres of the southern end of the original post were retained by the Army; there the Army now operates the Sheridan Reserve Center complex.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Commercial Club of Chicago, concerned since 1877 with the need for a military garrison, was motivated by the Haymarket Riot in 1886 to arrange for the donation of 632 acres (2.6 km²) of land to the Federal Government for this purpose. Troops arrived in November 1887 to what was initially called Camp Highwood. A year later, Camp Highwood was renamed Fort Sheridan. Troops stationed at Fort Sheridan were used in 1894 to quell labor unrest during the Pullman Strike.</p><br>
<p>Fort Sheridan became a mobilization and training center beginning with the Spanish–American War in 1898. Following World War I, Fort Sheridan processed nearly 20,000 returning wounded soldiers and helped them return to civilian life through physical and occupational training reenter the workforce. During World War II, over 500,000 men and women were processed through military service. Many army officers who later became famous lived there, including George Patton and Jonathan Wainwright. The 174th Military Police Battalion of the Leavenworth, Kansas National Guard was stationed there in 1950. Fort Sheridan served as the base for supplying and servicing Nike antimissile systems in the upper Midwest from 1953 to 1973, at which point it returned to providing administrative and logistical support services.</p><br>
<p>The 94 buildings in the Historic District, built between 1889 and 1910, include 64 structures that were the first major works of the architectural firm Holabird & Roche of Chicago. These earliest buildings are made of bricks molded and fired on site, using clay mined from lakefront bluffs. The water tower, originally the tallest structure in the Chicago area, was altered and shortened by 60 feet (18 m) in 1940. The row of buildings flanking the tower were troop barracks. The 110 acre (450,000 m²) Historic District, placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1984. In 1979, the site was documented by the Library of Congress Historic American Buildings Survey.</p><br>
<p>In 1979, director Robert Redford used a warehouse on the base to build interior sets for his Oscar-winning film Ordinary People.</p><br>
<p>Fort Sheridan closed in 1993. The decision to close Fort Sheridan came in the 1989 first round of base closings under the Base Realignment and Closure Act (BRAC).</p><br>
<p>An Army Reserve base continues to use about 90 acre of the original Post. The remaining property is divided between the Lake County Forest Preserves, a residential development, a Navy family housing development for personnel of nearby Great Lakes and a variety of ongoing commercial developments.</p><br>
<h2>Environmental concerns</h2><br>
<p>The geological setting of Fort Sheridan is tableland above a 70 ft high bluff in an area cut by seven deep ravines. The bluff overlooks Lake Michigan and the ravines create an open face in the bluff at the beach’s edge. Over the years, the Army filled in the ravines with waste generated by military operations. The most toxic waste was placed in the Wells Ravine, also known as Landfill 7. The United States Environmental Protection Agency considers Landfill 7 to be a Superfund National Priorities List (NPL) location. The landfills were not operated in an environmentally sound manner. An IEPA permit was not issued while the landfill was operating, and a high-density plastic containment liner was not used between the ravine and the waste. Regulatory oversight did not begin until 1979 when the State of Illinois commenced litigation. An operating permit was issued two months after the landfill ceased operations. The Army then applied for a closure permit, installed a leachate collection system, and placed a clay cap over Landfill 7. By 1982, the cap had failed due to ponding of water and the failure of the leachate collection system to collect leachate. The Army stated that the cap failure was caused by failure to maintain the cap.</p><br>
<p>By 1989, Fort Sheridan was facing potential closure by the Base Realignment and Closure commission. The Army began evaluating the permanent closure of Landfill 7 and the inherent problems with its maintenance. Because Landfill 7 had been dispensing 14,000 gallons of leachate per day into Lake Michigan, and the leachate was above state environmental effluent standards, CERCLA allowed the Army to implement an interim remedy prior to deciding on a permanent remedy. The Army chose to construct a $16 million cap. Public comments for this interim action opposed the cap, focusing on the Army&#39;s characterization of the type of waste in the landfill, the geologic instability of the ravine and bluff environment, and the proximity to Lake Michigan from which local drinking water is drawn. The Army responded that the cap was an interim solution that was thought to be effective for temporary containment of the waste.</p><br>
<p>After the interim containment remedy was selected on April 22, 1997, the Army brought in Dr. Shabica to evaluate the shore protections as part of the design phase. On December 2, 1997, he informed the Army that the cap, as designed, would fail due to erosion. The Army responded by purchasing a new system designed by Dr. Shabica&#39;s company. The interim cap was completed in June 2004, and the Army may propose making capping the final remedy based on the same analysis that supported the interim action.</p><br>
<p>The decision to cap Landfill 7 as the final remedy conflicts with some of the recommendations of the geological community. The Army is the lead agency in determining cleanup alternatives. Opponents claim the Analysis of Alternatives found in the remedial investigation, remedial action, and feasibility study was skewed in favor of the Army’s preferred remedy which was less expensive. According to the FY2006 Defense Environmental Restoration Program Annual Report To Congress, $58.7 million in cleanup funding had been appropriated for Fort Sheridan. Estimated cost to completion was $22.2 million estimated for FY2003.</p><br>
<p>The Diamond Apartments are an apartment building located at 321 Diamond St. in Redondo Beach, California. Built in 1913 by Harry Meacham, the apartment complex was the first commercial building in the surrounding neighborhood. Architect Lovell Pemberton designed the Classical Revival building. The first floor of the building held commercial space; early businesses in the building included a furniture store, a laundromat, and a paint store. Developers demolished all but three of Redondo Beachs downtown commercial buildings in the 1960s, leaving the apartment complex as the citys second-oldest standing commercial building and the oldest which has maintained its historic integrity.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 26, 1992.</p><br>
<p>Cefn Ila  is an 83 acre woodland located in Llanbadoc, a mile away from Usk, Monmouthshire, Wales, owned and run by the Woodland Trust Wales .</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The estate was developed as a hunting lodge, and then medieval manor house with surrounding lands. Bought in the mid-Victorian era by Edward Trelawney, a friend of notable poets Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley, he extensively redeveloped the gardens as a then modern pleasure gardens through extensive terracing. After his death, new owner Joseph Lister employed architect Alfred Waterhouse to rebuild the property as a picturesque large cottage manor house. After his death in 1885 in a riding accident on the estate, it was bought by Gustavus Ducarel, the 4th Marquis de la Pasture. His family had fled to England post the French Revolution, and although his father had by this time regained control of the family estate at Montreuil-sur-Mer, they lived mainly at the close-by Llandogo Priory.</p><br>
<p>After World War I, with the estate virtually abandoned by the now again fully French-resident family, in 1925 the entire estate was annexed to Pontypool Hospital, and after redevelopment opened on 3 October 1925 as the "Kate Ayres Gustard Convalescent Home", providing care for up to 24 women and children. Used from September 1939 as a child evacuation centre in the phoney war leading up to World War II, it then became a war casualty convalescence unit. Post war, in 1947 it was reopened as a maternity hospital, with accommodation for up to 18 patients.</p><br>
<p>During the early hours of 14 September 1973,</p><br>
<h2>Present</h2><br>
<p>As the house and estate fell into ruin, the surrounding lands and resultant naturally developed wood were bought at auction in 2007 by Coed Cadw. The site is located a few miles away from Wentwood Forest, which is the largest ancient woodland site in Wales.</p><br>
<p>Since taking ownership, Coed Cadw have since planted an additional 36,000 broadleaf trees. The long term plan is to develop a mosaic of habitats, from grasslands through wild flower meadows to an arboretum, which will be a combination of the original Victorian planting, local heritage fruit trees, plus new broadleaf varieties. The wildlife within the parklands includes a maternity roost for bats, and habitats for a number of birds including Song Thrush and Marsh Tit. Today the site is a Cadw designated Historic Park and Garden, and a priority habitat under the United Kingdom Biodiversity Action Plan.</p><br>
<p>Coed Cadw are working with the Usk Rural Life Museum, to record and communicate the history of the site to visitors. In April 2014, the trust received a Heritage Lottery Fund grant of £297,700, to enable formal visitor groups and educational institutes to visit a fully restored walled garden and developed woodlands, together with associated visitor facilities.</p><br>
<p>Kukaklek is a lake in southern Alaska, near the base of the Alaska Peninsula. Located in Katmai National Park and Preserve, the lake is 46,080 acre in area and is the source for the Alagnak River, a designated Wild River. Notable for its excellent sport fishing, it is rated as one of the top wilderness destinations in Alaska. Wildlife in the area is typical of the Alaskan Peninsula, with grizzly bears, moose, gray wolf, and caribou frequently seen around the lakes shores. Grizzly bears in particular are frequently seen around the lake during the salmon run. The lake has recently been the source for a controversial grizzly bear hunt in Katmai Preserve.</p><br>
<p>On September 20,07 20, near the end of the controversial 2007 bear hunt, an overloaded Helio Courier suffered a wing failure and crashed, killing all four men aboard. A similar incident without loss of life occurred in 2010, with a de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver.</p><br>
<p>Bonos Restaurant and Deli is a historic restaurant located at 15395 Foothill Boulevard in Fontana, California. The restaurant opened in 1936 to serve travelers on USA Route 66, which then passed in front of the site; it originally operated as a produce stand. In 1943, increased traffic on the highway prompted the owners to expand their operations, and the current building was constructed as a full-service restaurant. The restaurant building has a Streamline Moderne design and features red and green stripes promoting its Italian cuisine as well as painted grapevines promoting its wine. As Fontanas Italian immigrant community grew in the 1940s, the restaurant also became a local source of Italian foods previously unavailable in the area.</p><br>
<p>The Big Orange, a 7 ft tall orange-shaped citrus stand, is located on the property of the restaurant. The orange was originally located 3 mi to the east; restaurant owner Joe Bono purchased the stand in the 1990s and moved it to its current site. While the restaurant had an orange-shaped stand of its own when it served Route 66 traffic, it was eventually demolished due to decreased demand. The Big Orange is one of six surviving orange-shaped buildings in California.</p><br>
<p>The restaurant, which is currently closed, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2008. Joe Bono received permission to move the building 20 ft back from Foothill Boulevard in 2013.</p><br>
<p>The Captain William Bull Tavern is a historic inn at 571 Torrington Road in Litchfield, Connecticut. It is part of the Tollgate Hill Inn and Restaurant, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is significant both as an excellent local example of Colonial architecture, and for its role in early architectural preservation efforts in the region.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Captain William Bull Tavern is located in northeastern Litchfield, on the north side of Torrington Road (United States Route 202) between Tollgate Road and Wilson Road. It is a three-story wood frame structure, with a gambrel roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. The main facade is five bays wide, with a center entrance topped by a five-light transom window and cornice. A second entrance, dating to the period of the building&#39;s move in the 1920s, is located on the west side. The interior follows a typical Colonial center chimney plan, with a narrow entrance vestibule that also has a winding staircase, and chambers on either side of the chimney. It retains many original features, to which Colonial Revival additions were made during early 20th-century restoration.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The early history of the dwelling traditionally identified as the “Captain William Bull Tavern” begins with Isaac and Eunice Bull’s purchase of 58 high acres of land on the Litchfield Farmington Road in 1756 from Stephen Rossetter for L 112 and ends with the sale of the farm to George Buell in 1892, a story in which William Bull occupies center stage for 9 of the 73 years.</p><br>
<p>The original builder and any owners of the house prior to 1790 are unknown. During the 1790s, the house was owned by Captain William Bull (1748-1799), originally from Hartford, Connecticut. Upon his death, the inventory of his possessions showed the Bull was a prosperous farmer who had an "old house" and "mansion house" and a substantial farming implements, livestock, personal items consisting of silver, brass candlesticks and other personal items and 275 acres of land. The house would remain in the Bull family until 1827, when it was sold to the Buel family, and in turn to the Candee family in 1843. From 1867 to 1900, the Griswold family operated it as a farm before the house passed between several owners from 1900 to 1915. The house was purchased by the Vanderwaters and remained in their possession for several years, but had "fallen in disuse, and stood boarded up and deteriorating."</p><br>
<p>The Vanderwaters decided to dismantle the house, but it was saved by the purchase of Frederick W. Fuessenich. In 1923, Fuessenich had the house moved some two miles to its current location to his 100 acre farm. The house was moved directly across from the old Torrington Turnpike tollhouse that was in operation until about 1860. Fuessenich named the building the "Tollgate Hill Tavern".</p><br>
<p>The Winchester Memorial Church, also known as the New Hampshire Conservatory of Music and the Arts, is a historic civic building in the center of Winchester, New Hampshire, United States. The brick building was designed by S. Winthrop St. Clair and built in 1912 to replace a meeting house that was destroyed by fire. The meeting house it replaced was the location of the Winchester Profession, a key development in the history of Unitarian Universalism. It is a well-proportioned Colonial Revival structure, whose facade is embellished by four pilasters supporting a modillioned pediment.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It was acquired in 2006 by the Universalist Heritage Foundation as a memorial to the site&#39;s role in Universalist history.</p><br>
<p>The town hall of Winchester, New Hampshire, is located on Main Street, just south of the junction of New Hampshire Route 10 and New Hampshire Route 119 in the center of the town. Built of brick in 1911-12 to a design by S. Winthrop St. Clair, it is the only Gothic Revival town hall in Cheshire County. It was built because the previous town meeting house  was destroyed by fire. The church was also designed by St. Clair, a Boston-based architect who hailed from Winchester.</p><br>
<p>The town hall is a roughly rectangular structure, covered by a roof that is gabled at one end and hipped below a very small gable at the other end. At the northern corner stands an octagonal four-story tower topped by a crenellated parapet. The interior of the building has two levels: the upper level houses an auditorium space with a stage at one end, with a balcony area that has been converted for use as offices. The basement level houses additional offices. The building has seen alterations primarily to its interior, but has retained much of its original design.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<p>Clonmoyle Racecourse was a racecourse in the townland of Clonmoyle West, situated 1.2 km north-east of Aghabullogue village and 6.5 km north-west of Coachford village.</p><br>
<p>The Ordnance Survey name book c. 1840 refers to Clonmoyle Racecourse as situated on the eastern side of Clonmoyle West townland, 60 chains north-east from Aghabologue Chapel(1.2 km). Measuring approximately one English mile in circumference, it was located in a barren mountainous field on the highest part of the townland, in which races took place three or four times some years, and with no races taking place during other years.</p><br>
<p>The racecourse is clearly depicted on the 1841 surveyed OS Map. The Cork Placenames Archive refers to related placenames, such as Racecourse Crossroads and Racecourse Hill.</p><br>
<p>Today, Clonmoyle Racecourse is no longer used, with the land being employed for agricultural purposes. An annual race meeting, the Aghabullogue Point-to-point (steeplechase), takes place each January in the adjoining townland of Dromatimore.</p><br>
<p>Ballinadihy Bridge is an Irish bridge situated 2 km south-east of Aghabullogue village in County Cork, Ireland 4.2 km north of Coachford village, and is depicted on both the 1841 and 1901 surveyed OS maps. The bridge is located at the meeting point of the townlands of Clonmoyle West and Peake, and lies within both the civil parish and catholic parish of Aghabullogue.</p><br>
<p>The Ordnance Survey name book (c. 1840), refers to it as Ballinadighey Bridge. In the Archaeological Inventory of County Cork, it is described as a road bridge over the Delehinagh River, with two semi-circular arches, roughly cut voussoirs, a pointed breakwater, and overflow channel to the south-west. Many of the surviving bridges in mid-Cork are originally constructed of stone, arched in shape, and late eighteenth or early nineteenth century in date. Typical features often include semi-circular arches and pointed breakwaters. Earlier bridges are often narrower, although some were widened at a later stage.</p><br>
<p>ODonoghue (1986) refers to Ballinadihy Bridge as being located at the southern end of Clonmoyle West townland, and holds the Irish version of Ballinadihy as Béal Áth na Daibhche, meaning ford mouth of the hollow&#39;. According to local information, the bridge is reputed to be haunted.</p><br>
<p>The Logan/Esterly Upper Ditch is an abandoned, artificial watercourse in the Illinois River Valley of northern California and southern Oregon, United States. Built in 1854 to supply water from the river&#39;s East Fork in California to several hydraulic mines in Oregon, it quickly returned a large profit to its investors. The ditch supplied mines worked by its own owners, as well as providing water for sale to other nearby diggings and incidentally powering at least one sawmill. Mines it served include the Waldo, Fry Gulch, and Cameron mines. It continued in operation until 1942, when the last hydraulic mining operations in the upper Illinois Valley ceased. Several wooden structures associated with the ditch, such as trestles and flumes, disappeared by the end of the 20th century, but the earthen components remained mostly intact.</p><br>
<p>The ditch was a total of 7.6 mi long; 4.1 mi of the ditch&#39;s remnants were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<p>Aghabullogue Bridge is a bridge in County Cork, Ireland, situated 0.4 km north-east of Aghabullogue village, and 6.3 km north-west of Coachford village. A footstick over the Delehinagh River is depicted on the 1841 surveyed OS map, where the bridge now stands. It would appear to have been constructed by the beginning of the twentieth century, and is depicted on the 1901 surveyed OS map, but not named. The bridge is located at the meeting point of the townlands of Clonmoyle West and Dromatimore, within both the civil parish and catholic parish of Aghabullogue.</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, and often contain semi-circular arches and pointed breakwaters. Aghabullogue Bridge, however, would appear to be of a later construction date.</p><br>
<p>The El Dorado Apartments are a historic apartment house at 420 Wilson Place in El Dorado, Arkansas. The two story brick and limestone building was designed by Louisiana architect Cheshire Peyton, and built in 1926 in response to the discovery of oil in the area and the ensuing economic boom. It houses 24 small efficiency units, designed for use by the transient but wealthier workers and managers of the oil-related economy. The building has limestone window sills, and rows of brick-inlaid limestone squares between the windows. The cornice of the flat roof is decorated with brick dentil moulding and modillions.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983, and included in the Murphy-Hill Historic District in 2007.</p><br>
