<p>The El Dorado Confederate Monument is located on the grounds of the Union County Courthouse in El Dorado, Arkansas, near the corner of North Main and South Washington Streets. It consists of a statue of a Confederate Army soldier in mid-stride, mounted on top of a temple-like structure supported by four cannon-shaped Ionic columns. The columns support a lintel structure bearing inscriptions on three sides, above which is a tiered roof with cannonballs at the corners. The temple structure is 15 ft high, and 10 ft square; the statue measures 76 in by 28 in by 28 in. Both the statue and the temple are constructed of gray/blue striated marble. Inside the temple structure is a water fountain that no longer works.</p><br>
<p>The monument was built in 1910 at a cost of over $2,800, and was paid for by the local chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. It is believed to be the first fountain-style Confederate monument in the South. The front (south) side of the monument is inscribed "CSA 1861 - 1865 / ERECTED BY THE HENRY G. BUNN CHAPTER / UNITED DAUGHTERS OF THE CONFEDERACY / 1909". The north side is inscribed "TRUTH CRUSHED TO EARTH SHALL RISE AGAIN. / EVEN DEATH CANNOT SEVER THE CORDS OF MEMORY." The western lintel reads "IN HONOR OF THE CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS / OF UNION COUNTY, ARK.". The eastern lintel has a pair of crossed swords on it.</p><br>
<p>The monument was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<p>Clonmoyle House West is a dwelling in Clonmoyle West townland, 2.4 kms south-east of Aghabullogue village, and 4.8 kms north of Coachford village.</p><br>
<p>The Ordnance Survey name book (c. 1840) refers to Clonmoyle House as being within the townland of Clonmoyle West. On the 1841 surveyed OS map, it is depicted as Clonmoyle House. The mid-nineteenth century Primary Valuation of Ireland (Griffiths Valuation) records Rev. Denis Mahony as occupier of c. 20 acres, consisting of a house, offices, and land, with the immediate lessor being Cross H. Fitzgibbon. The buildings were valued at c. £8 and the lands c. £14. The property is also depicted on the 1901 surveyed OS map, but not named. On the early twentieth century Cassini 6-inch map, it is depicted as Parochial House&#39;.</p><br>
<p>It remains a private residence, and is not accessible to the public.</p><br>
<p>The Goffs Schoolhouse is a historic school building located at 37198 Lanfair Road in Goffs, California. Opened in 1914, the one-room schoolhouse was the first in Goffs used solely as a school; prior to its construction, the school district had used a rented building. Architect Anthony Beimer designed the Mission Revival building. The district served students in a 1,000 square miles region surrounding Goffs; its students were the children of the areas miners and railroad workers. Many of the students came from Mexican immigrant families, and bilingual students often served as teachers assistants to translate for the teacher. Goffs residents also used the school building as a community center, and it housed a branch of the San Bernardino County Library. The school closed in 1937, when the Goffs School District merged with the Needles district. During World War II, the school building served as a canteen for the Desert Training Center, the largest Army training facility in the United States. The Mojave Desert Heritage and Cultural Association now uses the building as a museum and cultural center.</p><br>
<p>The school was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 11, 2001.</p><br>
<p>The Abenaki Indian Shop and Camp is a historic Native American site in the Intervale section of Conway, New Hampshire. The site is a camp established by Abenakis who were lured to the area by the prospect of making baskets and selling them to visitors to the resort areas of the White Mountains in the late 19th century, and operated into the late 20th century. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. It is located on Intervale Cross Road, about one mile east of New Hampshire Route 16, and is now a local public park.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Abenaki Indian Shop and Camp is located on the north side of Intervale Cross Road, separated from the road by a railroad right-of-way. It is a parcel of land 3.8 acre in size, most of which is forested in mixed hardwoods. At the southern end is a single-story wood frame building with a gabled roof, and a descriptive plaque set in a stone. A short way north of this are a grouping of small shingled gable-roofed cabins, set around a small clearing in the woods.</p><br>
<p>Chief Joseph Laurent, an Abenaki leader from St. Francis, Quebec, came to the area in 1884, and established a seasonal camp on the site, which was then owned by a local hotel. Laurent and other Abenaki produced baskets and other handicrafts as a tourist attraction for the hotel guests, and sold them the wares they produced. The Abenaki were descended from the areas original Native American population, who were driven from the area during the colonial period. The shop was originally a service shed built by the Maine Central Railroad; it was purchased by Laurent around 1900. Laurent is also credited with construction of the cottages in which the Abenaki lived. The business was continued by Laurents son Stephen into the late 20th century. Since 1985, the property has been owned by the town, which now operates it as a small park with interpretive signage describing its history.</p><br>
<p>Brewster Memorial Hall is the town hall of Wolfeboro, New Hampshire. It is located at the junction of South Main Street and Union Street in the town center. Its construction in 1880-90 was the result of a bequest from Wolfeboro native John W. Brewster, with terms stipulating that the building should resemble Sargent Hall in Merrimac, Massachusetts. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Brewster Memorial Hall is prominently located in the center of Wolfeboro village, at the northeast corner of South Main and Union Streets. It is a roughly L-shaped brick building, with a two-story main block and a single-story ell projecting north. A two-story turreted section projects east of the main block, and the buildings most prominent feature, a 101 ft tower, projects from the southwest corner. The buildings Romanesque styling includes round-arch windows on the second level of the Main Street facade and on tower windows, and open colonnades in the upper level of the tower below its clock faces. The clocks and colonnade are set in recessed round-arch panels, and the tower is topped by a pyramidal roof.</p><br>
<p>Boston architect James T. Kelley designed Brewster Hall to satisfy the terms of a bequest by John W. Brewster, a Wolfeboro native and philanthropist. Brewster, who also left major bequests for area private academies, stipulated that the building resemble a similar one in Merrimac, Massachusetts, and that it provided retail spaces, facilities for town offices, and a public library. Kelley met these terms, styling it in the Romanesque Revival rather than the more Gothic styling of Sargent Hall. It was completed at a cost reported to be about $50,000. In recent years, the retail spaces have been taken over by town offices, and the library space has been used for elementary school classrooms.</p><br>
<p>Mount Gallatin, also known as Boundary Peak 67,</p><br>
<p>is a mountain in the Boundary Ranges along the British Columbia-Alaska border.</p><br>
<p>The Tasakili River begins to the north of Mount Gallatin, within Alaska, then crosses the border shortly after its source, flowing southeast at the foot of the mountain to the Stikine River. Mount Gallatin is the peak immediately north of where the Stikine crosses the international boundary. Just inside that boundary on the Canadian side, at the foot of Mount Gallatin, is the locality and former border post of Stikine, formerly known as Boundary.</p><br>
<h2>Name origin</h2><br>
<p>In 1924 the USGS named the mountain after Albert Gallatin, one of the US commissioners who negotiated the Treaty of Ghent which ended the War of 1812.</p><br>
<p>This standing stone is located in the townland of Clontead More, 0.46 km north of Coachford village. It is not depicted on the 1842 or 1901 surveyed OS maps.</p><br>
<p>The Irish Tourist Association survey of 1944 describes it as a dolmen on a farm in Clontead Mor, 0.5 miles from Coachford. Consisting of a single boulder of c. 3 ton in weight and lying flat in the corner of a field, it was alleged to have been thrown by the giant Mushera from his lair on Mushera Mountain. The marks of his fingers were said to be still visible.</p><br>
<p>The Archaeological Inventory of county Cork describes it as being on a south facing slope, in pasture, sub-rectangular in plan, with a height of 1.12m and long axis NE-SW.</p><br>
<p>Single upright stones are common in Ireland and not necessarily of one time period or serving the same purpose. Some mark prehistoric burials, others had commemorative or ritual functions, and some served as boundary markers along ancient routeways. Those with a NE-SW long axis suggest affinity with stone rows and pairs, and may date to the Bronze Age.</p><br>
<p>The standing stone is located on private property, and is not accessible to the public.</p><br>
<p>The Sambisa Forest is a forest in Borno State, northeast Nigeria. It is in the southwestern part of Chad Basin National Park, about 60 km southeast of Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The Sambisa forest is located at the northeastern tip of the west Sudanian Savanna and the southern boundary of the Sahel Acacia Savanna about 60 km. south east of Maiduguri the capital of the state of Borno. It occupies parts of the states of Borno, Yobe, Gombe, Bauchi along the corridor Darazo, Jigawa, and some parts of Kano state farther north. It is administered by the Local government areas of Nigeria of Askira/Uba in the south, by Damboa in the southwest, and by Konduga and Jere in the west.</p><br>
<p>The name of the forest comes from the village of Sambisa which is on the border with Gwoza in the East. The Gwoza hills in the East have peaks of 1,300 meters above sea level and form part of the Mandara Mountains range along the Cameroon-Nigeria border.</p><br>
<h2>Climate</h2><br>
<p>The climate is hot, dry and wet with minimum temperatures of about 21.5 °C between December and February, a maximum of about 48 °C in May and average temperatures of about 28-29 °C. The dry season is from November to May and the wet season is between May and September/October with annual rainfall of about 190 mm.</p><br>
<h2>Flora</h2><br>
<p>The Sambisa forest is one of the few forests in North Eastern Nigeria where sparse vegetation is the norm. Most of the vegetation is typical of the Sudanian Savanna although, because of human activity, some parts have become more like the Sahel savanna. The forest consists of a mixture of open woodland and sections of very dense vegetation of short trees about two metres high and thorny bushes, with a height of 1/2-1 metre, which are difficult to penetrate. Major trees and bushes in the forest include tallow, rubber, wild black plum, birch, date palm, mesquite, acacia, monkey bread, red bushwillow, baobab, jackalberry, tamarind and terminalia.</p><br>
<h2>Fauna</h2><br>
<p>BirdLife International reported that 62 species of birds have been recorded in the Sambisa Game Reserve, including the guinea fowl, francolin, village weaver, Abyssinian ground hornbill, Arabian bustard, Savile&#39;s bustard, African collared-dove, chestnut-bellied starling, black scrub-robin and the Sudan golden sparrow. The forest was also thought to be the last remaining site of the ostrich in Nigeria.</p><br>
<p>17 species of mammals were reported in 2010 in the Sambisa Game Reserve including, baboon, patas monkey, tantalus monkey, Grimms duiker, red-fronted gazelle, African bush elephant, roan antelope, hartebeest, African leopard and spotted hyenas. However poaching, chopping downing trees for fuel, human agricultural penetration and the Boko Haram jihadist groups activities since 2013 have reduced their numbers since then. An aerial survey of the game reserve in 2006 reported seeing only five large wild animal species.</p><br>
<h2>Sambisa Game Reserve</h2><br>
<p>During the colonial period, the Sambisa game reserve covered an area of 2,258 km&sup2; in the eastern part of the forest.</p><br>
<p>From 1970, the reserve was used for safaris. It had a large population of leopards, lions, elephants, hyenas, that tourists could observe from cabins or safari lodges. In 1991, the government of the state of Borno incorporated this reserve into the national park of the Chad Basin. But the abandonment of its management, following the Sambisa takeover by Boko Haram insurgents in February 2013, led to the gradual disappearance of animals, lodges collapsed or were destroyed, vegetation invaded roads, and rivers dried up.</p><br>
<h2>Politics</h2><br>
<p>The Sambisa forest, especially the mountainous region of Gwoza near the Cameroon border, is used as shelter by the jihadist Boko Haram group and is believed to be where they keep the hostages from the Chibok schoolgirls kidnapping in April 2014.</p><br>
<p>During spring 2015 the Nigerian Army started an offensive against Boko Haram in the forest, but was slowed down due to finding the forest to be heavily mined and the militants having better local knowledge. Despite this, on 28 April 2015, four Boko Haram camps in the Sambisa forest were overrun by the Nigerian military who freed nearly 300 girls and women, who were not, however, the missing Chibok girls. On 30 April 2015 another 13 Boko Haram camps were destroyed and 234 more women and children were reportedly freed near Kawuri and Konduga.</p><br>
<p>The Nigerian Army Wednesday night 4 November 2015, said troops of 5 Brigade Task Group, killed two Boko Haram suspects, after destroying their camps at Hausari and Baranga in Marte Local Government Area of Borno State. According to official statement by the military, "In efforts to continually dominate recovered territories and clear all Nigerian territory of Boko Haram vestiges, the advancing troops of 5 Brigade Task Group have today cleared 5 more terrorists camps at Hausari and Baranga in Marte Local Government Area of Borno State."</p><br>
<p>On 18 May 2016, one of the schoolgirls abducted from Chibok in 2014, was reportedly found by local militia men fighting Boko Haram in the Sambisa forest. It was also reported that 218 of the girls were still missing and that the found girl claimed that except six, said to have died, all of them were still held captive in the forest.</p><br>
<p>Bob Stratton Bald, often referred to as Stratton Bald, is a grassy bald in the Unicoi Mountains located in the Joyce Kilmer-Slickrock Wilderness in the Nantahala National Forest. Its elevation is approximately 5,360 feet.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The bald is named for Robert "Bob" Stratton (1825-1864), whose family lived on the bald.</p><br>
<p>The bald is subdivided into two smaller balds: Stratton Bald (elevation 5,360 feet), and Bob Bald (elevation 5,280 feet). Together, they make up Bob Stratton Bald. It is a typical Appalachian bald, with thick grass and few trees and is a popular hiking destination for backpackers. It is accessible via the Stratton Bald Trail (FS Trail 54), which connects to the Benton MacKaye Trail and the Cherohala Skyway.</p><br>
<p>The Rufus Piper Homestead is a historic house on Pierce Road in Dublin, New Hampshire. The house is a typical New England multi-section farmhouse, joining a main house block to a barn. The oldest portion of the house is one of the 1-1/2 story ells, A Cape style house which was built c. 1817 by Rufus Piper, who was active in town affairs for many years. Piper expanded the house in 1832, adding what is now the main 2-1/2 story Colonial style block. The property was, around the turn of the 20th century, part of Louis Cabot&#39;s extensive summer estate.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. The home of Rufus Piper&#39;s father, the Solomon Piper Farm, also still stands and is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Pumpelly Studio is the principal surviving house on the former summer estate of geologist Raphael Pumpelly. Located off Snow Hill Road in Dublin, New Hampshire, the studio was designed by Walter Atherton and Pumpellys daughter Margarita "Daisy" Pumpelly Smyth and built in 1912. It was built adjacent to Pumpellys summer house, a large Shingle style structure that was built in 1883 and burned in 1922. The studio was built of steel and concrete, in part because it was intended to house Pumpelly&#39;s papers; these were lost when the main house burned. Notable visitors to the Pumpelly estate included dancer Martha Graham, who summered there in 1924. The studio is a one-story stucco house with a red tiled roof. It has Romanesque arched windows and porch details, and has historic and archaeological items embedded in its walls. It is set high on the hill overlooking Dublin Pond.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>The Westin Poinsett Hotel is a twelve-story, landmark hotel in downtown Greenville, South Carolina. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>Built at the end of an era during which small Southern cities demanded quality hotels to attract business travelers and symbolize their new urban status, the Poinsett Hotel was, in part, conceived to accommodate visitors to a biennial Southern Textile Exhibit held in Greenville. A century-old hotel, the Mansion House, was razed and a larger building was designed for its Main Street location by noted New York architect William Lee Stoddart. To help raise money for the project, local businessmen, led by textile magnate John T. Woodside (1864-1946), sold $100 shares of stock to 1,700 local residents; and the hotel was named for Joel R. Poinsett, a South Carolinian who had served as Secretary of War and as the first USA Minister to Mexico. Groundbreaking occurred in May 1924; and the $1.5 million Poinsett Hotel opened in June 1925.</p><br>
<p>The hotel was not immediately successful but prospered during the latter years of the Depression under the management of J. Mason Alexander, who emphasized customer service. Another sixty rooms were added in 1941, bringing the total to 248.</p><br>
<p>As the number of private automobiles increased during the 1950s, city hotels lost business to motels, which were located on major highways rather than in the urban core. In 1959, the Poinsett was sold to Jack Tar Hotels, and its profitability continued to decline. Ownership changed hands several times in the 1970s and &#39;80s. Beginning in 1977, James C. Bible (1924-1991) tried to operate the hotel as residence suites for retirees, but he was perpetually at odds with city government over his inability or unwillingness to meet the fire codes. The city finally closed the hotel in January 1987. During the next decade the building was repeatedly vandalized, and intruders set two fires. The hotel was considered one of the most endangered historic structures in South Carolina.</p><br>
<p>Nevertheless, the revitalization of downtown Greenville was already underway during the successive mayoral administrations of Bill Workman and Knox H. White; and a public/private project resulted in a Hyatt Regency being built on Main Street during the 1980s. In November 1997, Steve Dopp and Greg Lenox, developers of the Francis Marion Hotel in Charleston (also designed by William Stoddart), purchased the Poinsett and acquired a franchise from Westin Hotels, a subsidiary of Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide. The project received about $4 million in tax dollars, and Federal Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credits were awarded as part of an approximately $20 million restoration. The Westin Poinsett reopened on October 22, 2000. In 2014, tripadvisor.com ranked the Poinsett first among 63 Greenville hotels.</p><br>
<p>The Wilson-Martin House is a historic house at 511 Bond Street in Warren, Arkansas. The two story brick house was built in 1916, and is an excellent local example of Georgian Revival styling, despite later alterations. The house was built by John Rufus Wilson, a lawyer, teacher, and state legislator, and was sold by the Wilsons to Bryan Martin, a local merchant, in 1930. The house has elegant Georgian features, including a hip roof, brick corner quoins, and a projecting front entry porch with triangular pediment. The entrance is flanked on both sides by three casement Prairie-style windows. The second floor of the front has a pair of small windows above the entry porch, and flanking sash windows on either side.</p><br>
<p>The house originally had single-story porches on three sides, but those on the east and south sides have been enclosed and topped by a second floor chamber. Other alterations have been made to the interior of the house, but it has retained much of its original material, including the porch supports for the enclosed porches.</p><br>
<p>The property also includes original landscape elements. A poured concrete base wall lines the north and west property lines, with brick anchor posts. The sidewalk and driveway entrance have iron gates mounted on brick gate posts.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<p>Clontead More House is a country house in the townland of Clontead More, situated 2.3 km north-east of Coachford village. The house and demesne were dominant features in the rural landscape of Ireland, throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Location often reflected the distribution of better land, and this is evidenced in mid-Cork, where many of these houses are situated along the valley of the River Lee and its tributaries.</p><br>
<p>The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage describes it as a detached three-bay, two-storey house, built c. 1840, having a front porch, two-storey extension on the southern side, and u-plan hipped slate roof with rendered chimney stacks. Two-storey outbuildings are arranged around a rear courtyard, one of which is a former barn with stone steps leading to its western elevation. To the south-east is the remains of a red-brick walled garden. Square-profile entrance gate piers adjoin the roadway. Set within its own grounds, the timber sliding sash windows and extensive range of outbuildings add context to its setting.</p><br>
<p>The property was constructed after 1840. It is not depicted on the 1842 surveyed OS map, which was also used during the mid-nineteenth century Primary Valuation of Ireland (Griffiths Valuation). The Connacht and Munster Landed Estates Database states that it was built after the publication of the first edition Ordnance Survey map&#39;., and the 1901 surveyed OS map depicts the property, but does not name it.</p><br>
<p>It was once the residence of the Gillman family. The Primary Valuation of Ireland (Griffiths Valuation) records Herbert Gillman as occupying c. 86 acres, consisting of a house, offices and land&#39;. The buildings were valued at c. £14, the land at c. £50, and the immediate lessor was Edward Murphy. Gillman is interred in the chancel of Magourney Church, Coachford.</p><br>
<p>The Irish Tourist Association survey of 1944 refers to the property as Clontead House, Peake and the former residence of Herbert Webb Gillman. He is described as having been a Barrister-at-law, member of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland, Council member of the Cork Historical and Archaeological Society (CHAS) and specialised in castles around the countryside. Gillman was one of the early members of CHAS and is interred in the apse of Magourney Church.</p><br>
<p>Today, Clontead More House remains a private residence, and is not accessible to the public.</p><br>
<p>Berrien&#39;s Island takes its name from Cornelius Jansen Berrien, who was its original European owner.Website. Anonymous. Guide to the Berrien&#39;s Island Supreme Court Case Records 1849-1851 Control # B-19, Long Island Division,</p><br>
<p>Queens Borough Public Library: He was born to John and Ruth Berrien and was married to Sarah Hallet on December 29, 1719 in Newtown, Long Island, Queens, New York. He died on Berrien&#39;s Island and was buried there.</p><br>
<h2>History and overview</h2><br>
<p>Throughout its history, a variety of people owned and possibly maintained the island. During the summer of 1849, there was a cholera epidemic that swept through New York City and killed thousands of people. In order to locate and purchase a new cemetery, a man named Marcellus Eells acted as the citys buyer and purchased Berriens Island for $20,000 and then sold it for a sum of $30,000 to the Special Committee headed by George F. Clarke. During the winter of that same year, some of the citys citizens, led by Leonard Kirby, became concerned and sued the New York City for conflict of interest and illegal expenditures in the purchase of Berriens Island. The Plaintiffs won the case and Berriens Island was never used for a paupers cemetery.</p><br>
<p>In 1890, Berriens Island was purchased by the Manhattan Athletic Club. Although the reason is currently unknown, it can be speculated that it was purchased for the purpose of training basketball players with disabilities. According to a flyer in the Ephemera-Basketball Game FlyersCollege Point A.C. vs. Tremont Basketball Team. 23 December 1914(?), a basketball game was held at Muehlenbrink&#39;s Hall on December 23, 1914: the team from Tremont was composed of Deaf Mutes from the New York Institute for the Deaf and Dumb.</p><br>
<p>During the 20th century the island became connected to the mainland when water between Long Island City and Berrien Island was land filled. The area in which the land was filled was in the northern part of Astoria, where Con Ed is located. In addition, part of the Berrien property is now where Steinway Co. is located.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>There were 23 acres of land to be used immediately, which were separated from the Berrien farm by a channel of about 150 feet. The formation of Berrien&#39;s Island is somewhat singular, being a belt averaging in width at about 200 feet on top. The top was composed of high, dry sand and gravel interspersed with large boulder stones nearly surrounding the natural basin; the high lands rose about 40 feet above the tide water. The high lands on the northeasterly were almost entirely a bed of sand and gravel rising abruptly from the water to an elevation of about 32 feet and the level then rose to an elevation of 40 feet above tide water. The high lands then fell off a gradual slope in the north to the basin on/ in the center of the island.</p><br>
<p>According to a complaint issued in Document No. 6: Board of Assistant Aldermen, September 24th, 1849. Berriens Island Supreme Court Case Records (B-19), John V.B. Varick Records (V-8), Waters Family Papers CW-13 Document Case Box 489h, Folder 20 Complain. 1850. Berriens Island Supreme Court Case Records, 1849-1851 at the Queens Central Library, Berriens Island had fallen within the Countys jurisdiction (the County of New Yorks line of boundary on the North, across the East river into Flushing Bay). The island is also a half-mile from Astoria than the present location at Randalls Island. Berriens Island is also as closer to Harlem as it was to Astoria: Berriens Island is 2 miles distant from Astoria and Harlem.</p><br>
<h2>The use of Berrien's Island</h2><br>
<p>In a letter to George F. Clarke from Edwin Smith, in the Queens Librarys Berriens Island Supreme Court Case Records, 1849-1851, the writer (Smith) wrote that he was called upon by Blake and his Committee to examine and observe on the relative advantage of using both Rikers and Berriens Islands for a city cemetery. He proceeded on Thursday November 11 of 1849, in the company with D.S. Geer, the resident physician, and Mr. Marcellus Eells, who volunteered his boat to be used for the occasion to make the necessary examinations of the Island(s) and collect such information in relation to the limited time granted to them. Berrien&#39;s Island and farm, according observations, altogether contain about 47 acres of land.</p><br>
<p>In his letter, Edwin Smith stated 4 reasons in which the Berrien Island was considered the most appropriate location in which to construct and hold a cemetery: 1) The soil was a dryer and looser formation and the lands were used to a higher elevation above the tides; 2) The natural basin of it should be deemed expeditious after being drained could be used as a cemetery without excavation below the present surface by depositing the remaining therein and covering them with the earth from the surrounding high lands thereby grading the island; 3) The location being well over the southerly side of the sound and the cemetery being most offensive during the warm summer months. When southerly winds mostly prevail it could not so much affect the neighboring country/county as is located on the other island; 4) It is not so directly in the view of travel through the sound.</p><br>
<p>In addition, the Special Committee listed previously visited Berrien&#39;s Island and farm property in 1850. According to the report, the island was situated in Flushing Bay, away from the City improvements and it is farther away from the five other locations which were also under consideration. According to Google Maps and the information recently provided, it would appear that the Island is somewhere near or off the coast of where LaGuardia Airport is located.</p><br>
<p>Furthermore, Mr. Smith the surveyor and Mr. Geer the Health Commissioner showed how this ground could be adapted to meet the desired purposes.</p><br>
<p>In the document Document No. 6: Board of Assistant Aldermen, September 24th, 1849, the writer believed that this island was the place in which "the dead can rest in peace until the end of time, undisturbed by the approach of improvement, or the busy sound of commerce, and until it shall please the all-wise Creator to call them from their last earthly resting place".</p><br>
<h2>Correspondences and complaints</h2><br>
<p>In a complaint document, Special Committee members Edmund Griffin and Charles Crane (or The Committee) had examined several locations, one of which, from the remoteness of inhabitants, convenience of access, and nature of soil, would be suitable for a public cemetery. Of the six selected areas, Berriens Island seemed the more likely choice. People from Astoria had objected to his location: however, the objections were not valid and contained no reasonable foundation for such opposition except the desire of one Astorian individual to purchase the island for himself. However, as discussed previously, Berriens Island had fallen within the jurisdiction of the County of the State of New York.</p><br>
<p>On September 15, 1849, a Special Term was held at New York City Hall regarding how the defendants showed cause. The reason for this was to determine why an Injunction Order was not granted pursuant to the claim and demand of the said complaint. The defendants were Mayor Alderman and the Commonalty of the City of New York. The Commonalty included George Clark, Robert J. Haws, Moses W. J. Jackson, and others. Under virtue of one or both Resolutions issued by the Common Council of New York, these men were instructed and restrained from appropriating, expending, or paying out any money of the City of New York for the purpose of purchasing Berrien&#39;s Island and the farm at Newtown, Queens County, owned by Ezra Berrien.</p><br>
<p>Isle a la Cache, a 101-acre riparian island, is located in the Des Plaines River in Romeoville, Illinois. The island is a forest preserve, owned and operated by the Forest Preserve District of Will County. The county has built the Isle a la Cache Museum on the island in celebration of the island&#39;s heritage in the North American fur trade.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Isle a la Cache is managed as an urban park and element of the Des Plaines River wildlife corridor. Birds sighted here include the belted kingfisher and the hooded merganser. Trees that grow on this silty, wet-footed island include the chinquapin oak and the black ash, although the ash trees of the Chicago area are, as of 2014, gravely threatened by the emerald ash beetle.</p><br>
<p>The island features a network of short trails, officially 0.44 miles in length, that connect the island by bridge with the Centennial Trail/I&M Canal Trail.</p><br>
<p>The Germantown Redoubt  is a redoubt built during the Civil War by Union troops. This was built along a relatively sharp bend of the Memphis and Charleston Railroad . It is located a couple miles east of the Old Germantown neighborhood in Germantown, Tennessee. Federal troops built the garrison after they took control of Corinth, Mississippi  and the railroad. From an archaeological standpoint, it is significant in that it is one of the few intact defense structures found of its size. This has given historians a perspective on how these forts were constructed and artifacts found there have given a hint about the daily life at the fort.</p><br>
<p>Today, the area is protected in a 5 acre Germantown City Park, located within a suburban neighborhood. The earthen structure is still intact, but the original timber retaining walls were destroyed in late 1863 (a portion of an example wall still remains). Several replica cannons are on site, as well as educational markers. The park includes a small parking area and playground. The Norfolk Southern railroad is still visible from the fort through a clearing.</p><br>

<p>The Godoy House is a historic building on Independência Avenue in the city of Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.</p><br>
<p>The house is one of the rare remaining buildings in the Art Nouveau style in Porto Alegre, dating from 1907.</p><br>
<p>Aside from its architectural importance, the house saw intense social activity throughout its history. It was originally built for Arno Bastian Meyer and his family between 1904-1907. Later, with the separation of the Meyers, the house was rented to the Greco family. In 1926 businessman Francisco Tschiedel purchased the house, and in 1939 it was acquired by the psychiatrist doctor Jacintho Godoy, an illustrious social figure of the time, and the house became the meeting point for notables of Porto Alegre&#39;s society between the years of 1939 and 1959.</p><br>
<p>The house was built utilizing imported technology at the time, with masonry and iron works in harmony with its style. Much care was taken with every detail of the house, from the choice of materials used, to the embellishments and ceilings and walls, and furniture, forming a notable coherent style throughout.</p><br>
<p>The architect, Hermann Menschen, was a German immigrant who worked for Rudolph Ahrons&#39; renowned engineering company, and was responsible for its projects department until 1907.</p><br>
<p>The house&#39;s three stories, totaling 719.39 m&sup2, are divided as ground floor, second floor, and loft. The facade is embellished with floral and whiplash motifs characteristic of the style, and elaborated wrought iron bars adorn the windows on the ground floor. The only opening to the loft is framed in an impressive gable that dominates the facade. Above the front door there is a relatively small stained glass window.</p><br>
<p>The interior, Dr. Godoy installed his home office on the ground floor where the above-ground cellar used to be, connected to the rear of the house where the kitchen, annex, and backyard are located. On the second floor, a hallway interconnects the four bedrooms and the bathroom. On the front part of the house on the second floor was located the drawing room, and to the rear the dining room, smoking room, and music room, all connected to a veranda with ornate iron balustrade. Many notable frescoes, stained glass, and decor remain, reminiscent from the original construction.</p><br>
<p>The Godoy House was listed for preservation in November 26, 1996, and acquired by the City Hall. Since 1998, the Coordenação da Memória Cultural da Secretaria Municipal de Cultura e a Equipe do Patrimônio Histórico e Cultural operates at the house.</p><br>
<p>The Luke Richardson House is a historic house at 204 Hancock Road in Dublin, New Hampshire. The 2-1/2 story wood frame house was built c. 1820 by Luke Richardson, son of early settler Abijah Richardson, Sr. The house has vernacular Greek Revival styling, with corner pilasters and a wraparound porch. Luke Richardson operated a gristmill and sawmill on a nearby property, and was instrumental in establishing a Trinitarian Congregational church in Dublin in 1827. Later owners include Charles F. Appleton, who built a hydroelectric facility on Wilder Brook and provided Dublin with its first electric service, and artist Tom Blackwell, who used the barn on the property as his studio.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>Porter Memorial Library is the public library of Machias, Maine. It is located at 92 Court Street in the center Machias, in an architecturally distinguished Romanesque Revival building, whose construction was funded by native son Henry Homes Porter. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and history</h2><br>
<p>The library is located near the center of Machias&#39;s downtown area, at the junction of Court and Free Streets. It is a 1-1/2 story masonry building, constructed out of ashlar granite in the Romanesque Revival style. It has an T-shaped plan, the stem of the T paralleling Court Street, with gable ends facing to the north, west, and south, that are capped by Romanesque pinnacles. The main entrance is in the northern corner of the T, sheltered by a portico with large round arches. The adjacent gable end has a band of five smaller round-arch windows on the first floor, and a pair of slender round-arch windows in the attic level.</p><br>
<p>The Machias Library Association was formed about 1815 by Rufus K. Porter, a local attorney. His son, Henry Homes Porter, was a successful railroad executive. With the library of his hometown lacking in funding and a permanent home, he gave $1,500 in 1891 to stabilize its financial situation, and promised an additional $9,000 for construction of a permanent home. The present building was designed by Boston, Massachusetts architect George A. Clough and was completed in 1893. It was named to honor both Porters for their role in its founding.</p><br>
<p>The F/V Charles W, also known as Annie J Larsen, is a historic fishing schooner anchored in Petersburg, Alaska. At the time of its retirement in 2000, it was the oldest fishing vessel in the fishing fleet of Southeast Alaska, and the only known wooden fishing vessel in the entire state still in active service. Launched in 1907, she was first used in the halibut fisheries of Puget Sound and the Bering Sea as the Annie J Larsen. In 1925 she was purchased by the Alaska Glacier Seafood Company, refitted for shrimp trawling, and renamed Charles W in honor of owner Karl Siffermans father. The company was one of the pioneers of the local shrimp fishery, a business it began to phase out due to increasing competition in the 1970s. The Charles W was the last of the companys fleet of ships, which numbered twelve at its height. The boat was acquired in 2002 by the nonprofit Friends of the Charles W.</p><br>
<p>The boat was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<p>The Todd Block is a historic commercial and civic building at 27-31 Main Street in Hinsdale, New Hampshire. It consists of two separate buildings that were conjoined in 1895, creating an architecturally diverse structure. The front portion of the building is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure with Second Empire styling; it is only one of two commercial buildings built in that style in the town, and the only one still standing. It was built in 1862, and originally housed shops on the ground floor and residential apartments above. The front of the block has a full two-story porch, with turned posts, decorative brackets and frieze moulding. The corners of the building are pilastered, and the mansard roof is pierced by numerous pedimented dormers. The rear section of the building was built in 1895 as a hall for the local chapter of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows . The principal feature of this three-story structure is its east facade, which has a richly decorated two-story Queen Anne porch.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>The Midway Plantation House and Outbuildings were constructed in the mid 19th century about 0.75 mile west of present-day Knightdale, Wake County, North Carolina, along the wagon trail that would eventually become USA Route 64,</p><br>
<p>The two-story plantation house was built in 1848 by Charles Lewis Hinton as a wedding gift for his son, David, and daughter-in-law, Mary Boddie Carr, and was named for its relative position halfway between Beaver Dam and The Oaks, two other Hinton family properties.</p><br>
<p>Other structures on the site included a carriage house, kitchen, smokehouse, potato house, well house, ice house, cotton gin, loom house, doll house, office, school, two stables, and several slave quarters. Of these, only the kitchen, school, office, and carriage and doll houses remain. In June 2005, the house and surviving outbuildings were moved approximately 2 mile north of their original location to make way for a large shopping center. The move and Hinton family history are documented by Hinton descendant and noted film critic Godfrey Cheshire III in Moving Midway (2007).</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<p>Arkwright House is in Stoneygate, Preston, Lancashire, England. The house was built in 1728, and was later expanded and restored. It is notable as the place in which Richard Arkwright and colleagues worked in 1768 to develop the water frame, a machine for spinning yarn. The house is an example of Georgian architecture, and is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built in 1728. It was the home of Revd Ellis Henry, who was the headmaster of the Free Grammar School in Stoneygate, and in 1768 Richard Arkwright was a lodger in the house. Arkwright was obsessed with the idea of creating a machine to spin yarn mechanically. During the time he was living in the house he worked with Thomas Highs and John Kay to develop a machine to do this. Their work was carried out in secrecy, the landlord thinking that they were working on a machine to measure the longitude. However it resulted in a machine known as the water frame, and this was patented in 1769. The historian David Hunt argues that this makes Arkwright House one of the birthplaces of the Industrial Revolution. The house was extended in the 19th century. A photograph taken in 1946 shows it with an inscription reading "ARKWRIGHT ARMS HOSTEL". The house was altered and renovated in about 1979.The current owners are Age Concern Central Lancashire who support and deliver services to older people in and around Lancashire.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Arkwright House is built in brick, and has a partly stuccoed façade and a slate roof. It is in early Georgian style, and has an L-shaped plan consisting of a front range, a rear wing, and the 19th-century extension to the right. The house is in three storeys with an attic and cellar, and has a symmetrical five-bay front, plus a two-bay extension. The doorway has a wooden architrave with a pediment and a fanlight. The extension contains a shop window in the ground floor; the other windows are sashes.</p><br>
<h2>Appraisal</h2><br>
<p>Arkwright House was designated as a Grade II* listed historic building on 12 June 1950. Grade II* is the middle of the three grades of listing and is applied to "particularly important buildings of more than special interest". Hartwell and Pevsner in the Buildings of England series comment that the house has been "over-restored".</p><br>
<p>The American Stock Exchange Building, formerly known as the New York Curb Exchange Building, is the former headquarters of the American Stock Exchange. It is located on Trinity Place in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan, New York City. Built in 1921 and enlarged in 1929–1931, the building represents a link to the historical practices of stock trading outside the strictures of the New York Stock Exchange, which took place outside  prior to the construction of this building. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1978. The building presently stands vacant, the stock exchange having moved out after merging with the NYSE in 2008.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The American Stock Exchange Building stands in Lower Manhattan&#39;s Wall Street area, occupying a parcel that extends from Trinity Place to Greenwich Street, just south of Thames Street. It is a fourteen-story steel-framed structure, with its formal facade, finished in limestone, facing Trinity Place. Both the original 1921 structure and its later enlargement were designed by the New York firm Starrett and Van Vleck. The facade facing Greenwich Street is of gray brick, with five large round-arch windows overlooking the trading floor. The trading floor was trimmed in a Renaissance Revival style, but the main structure is distinctly Art Deco, a product of the 1929-31 addition.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>New Yorks stock trading activity historically took place in outdoor spaces until 1792, when a predecessor to the New York Stock Exchange was founded, and some trading moved indoors. Trading continued to take place "on the curb" outside the NYSE. The outside traders benefited from the NYSEs refusal to allow trade in some types of securities, and became a leading marketplace for non-listed securities. This market had no fixed location, moving around as traffic and other conditions dictated.</p><br>
<p>In 1908, the New York Curb Market Agency was established, to codify trading practices. In 1911, the curbstone brokers came to be known as the New York Curb Market, with a formal constitution and brokerage and listing standards. After several years of outdoor trading, the curbstone brokers moved indoors in 1921 to a building on Greenwich Street in Lower Manhattan. In 1929, the New York Curb Market changed its name to the New York Curb Exchange. The Curb Exchange soon became the leading international stock market, listing more foreign issues than all other USA securities markets combined. In 1953, the Curb Exchange was renamed the American Stock Exchange. The building currently has a building area of 181,725 sq. ft.</p><br>
<p>On December 1, 2008, the Curb Exchange building at 86 Trinity Place was closed, and both the Amex Equities and Amex Options trading floors were moved to the NYSE Trading floor at 11 Wall Street.</p><br>

<p>The Vera and Laszlo Tisza House is a historic house at 2 Deer Trail  in the remote northeastern part of Wellfleet, Massachusetts, within the Cape Cod National Seashore. It is one of a number of surviving houses in Wellfleet that combine elements of Modern architecture with traditional Cape Cod architecture. The house was designed by Olav Hammarstrom, a protégé of Eero Saarinen, for Vera and László Tisza. The house is a T-shaped one-story structure with a central breezeway that provides views of the surrounding woodlands to much of the house. The main block, which is divided by the breezeway, measures 41 by 25 feet, with a 31 by 14 foot section added perpendicular to its north end. A flat roof, covered with rolled asphalt, extends for two feet beyond the edges of the house, and has exposed rafters that are visible both inside and outside the house. There is a recessed porch on the south side of the main block.</p><br>
<p>The house remained in the couple&#39;s hands, passing to Vera when they divorced in 1963. In 1974 she sold the property to the National Park Service, retaining a 15-year right of use. The Park Service is now responsible for its maintenance.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>

<p>The Brookfield Town Hall is located on New Hampshire Route 109 in the center of Brookfield, New Hampshire. It has served as the rural community&#39;s town hall since its construction in 1822-23, and is its only major public meeting space. It underwent a stylistic renovation in 1907-08, giving it a distinctive blend of styles. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Brookfield Town Hall is located in the modest rural village center of Brookfield, on the south side of New Hampshire 109 west of its junction with Lyford Road. It is a 1-1/2 story wood frame structure with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. A single-story addition, originally a one-room schoolhouse, extends to the rear. Its main facade is three bays wide, dominated by a projecting central tower, which rises to an open belfry and a flared pyramidal roof. The second stage of the tower is finished decorative cut shingles, and the belfry stage has corner pilasters and paired segmented-arch openings. The main building entrance is in the base of the tower, topped by a simple jigsawn pediment.</p><br>
<p>The town hall was completed in 1823 after its construction was authorized the previous year. Although the building was also originally used for religious services, these now rarely take place. The building underwent two major renovations: In the 1870s and 1880s the box pews were removed, replaced by settees, and the pulpit was replaced by a platform. Quarters were built for the selectmen to meet, and for a space that housed first the library, and then a kitchen. In the early 19th century, a bell was donated to the town, resulting in the construction of a Victorian tower and belfry, and a gradual restyling of the interior to Victorian styles. This readaption of an older town hall is distinctive in the region, where most towns built new town halls. Alterations since that time have been modest.</p><br>
<p>The Town Hall of Sandwich, New Hampshire, is located at 8 Maple Street  in the village of Center Sandwich.

<p>Slave Houses, Gregg Plantation is a set of two historic log slave cabins located on the campus of Francis Marion University at Mars Bluff, Florence County, South Carolina. There were originally 8 cabins, but only these two remnants survive. They were built before 1831, and occupied until the early 1950s.</p><br>
<h2>Materials</h2><br>
<p>The small hewn log houses feature open front porches, gable roofs, and rear additions. Despite the cramped interior, up to 14 people lived within each cabin. The cabins were made using longleaf pine, which was untreated; however, the slaves who built the cabins were knowledgeable craftsmen, and they used the natural resin to protect the wood.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The houses were moved sometime before 1870, and again in 1971 for the construction of the Francis Marion University Library. Although the residents of the cabins had built additions, these were removed during the relocation to show visitors the conditions that the original slave inhabitants lived in.

Browntown includes examples of both log and frame construction, and are grouped in two complexes, one group adjacent to the road and the other across the fields around the cotton gin building.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>West Creek is a tributary of Fishing Creek, in Columbia County and Sullivan County, in Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is 9.1 mi long and flows through Davidson Township in Sullivan County and Jackson Township, Sugarloaf Township, Benton Township, and Benton in Columbia County. The water temperature of the creek ranges from 0 &deg;C to 25 &deg;C. The discharge ranges from 0 to nearly 10 cubic meters per second. Rock formations in the watershed include the Trimmers Rock Formation, the Catskill Formation, and the Huntley Mountain Formation. The creek&#39;s watershed has an area of 16.6 square miles, most of which is agricultural, forested, or urban land. A small number of dams, mills, and schoolhouses were built on West Creek in the 19th and early 20th century. West Creek has the highest level of biodiversity of any stream in the upper Fishing Creek watershed.</p><br>
<h2>Course</h2><br>
<p>West Creek begins on Huckleberry Mountain in Davidson Township, Sullivan County. It flows east for several hundred feet before turning south-southeast for several tenths of a mile, exiting Sullivan County and entering Jackson Township, Columbia County. It then turns south-southwest for a short distance, reaching the base of Huckleberry Mountain and crossing Pennsylvania Route 118, before southeast for a few miles in a valley, receiving one unnamed tributary from the left and another from the right. The creek then enters Sugarloaf Township and receives another unnamed tributary from the left and turns south. For the next few miles, it flows alongside West Creek Road and receives another unnamed tributary from the right. It then crosses Pennsylvania Route 239 and receives York Hollow, its first named tributary, from the right. The creek then turns southeast for several miles, flowing alongside Pennsylvania Route 239 and receiving another unnamed tributary from the left and entering Benton Township. It turns south for more than a mile, still flowing alongside Pennsylvania Route 239 and crossing it several times. The creek then exits its valley and turns south-southwest, flowing along the edge of a plain. After several tenths of a mile, it receives Spencer Run, its second and final named tributary, from the right and then turns south for more than a mile, passing along the western border of Benton. The creek then turns south-southeast and exits Benton. A few tenths of a mile further downstream, it reaches its confluence with Fishing Creek.</p><br>
<p>West Creek joins Fishing Creek 21.72 mi upstream of its mouth.</p><br>
<h2>Hydrology</h2><br>
<p>The water temperature in West Creek in the summer can be as high as 25 &deg;C, which is 3° Celsius (5.4° Fahrenheit) higher than coldwater fish can tolerate. Between May 2010 and July 2011, it ranged from below 0 &deg;C in February and March 2011 to 25 &deg;C in August 2010.</p><br>
<p>Between May 2010 and July 2011, the concentration of dissolved oxygen in West Creek ranged from slightly under eight milligrams per liter in May 2010 to nearly seventeen milligrams per liter in late January 2011. This is well above the minimum required concentration of dissolved oxygen for optimal fish habitation.</p><br>
<p>West Creek is less affected by episodic acidification than most of the rest of the upper Fishing Creek watershed, with the exception of Coles Creek. The pH of West Creek is at its lowest in late winter and spring, when it is typically around 6.3. During the rest of the year, it is above 7.0. The entire pH range of the creek ranges from just over 6.0 to 7.2 or 7.3. The concentration of dissolved aluminum in West Creek is under 70 micrograms per liter, considerably less than the concentration needed to kill fish. The aluminum concentration is, in fact, usually approximately zero and is often under 40 micrograms per liter. However, early in 2011, the concentration was observed twice to be nearly 60 micrograms per liter.</p><br>
<p>The discharge of West Creek is usually less than two cubic meters per second. However, it sometimes is between two and five cubic meters per second and has occasionally been as high as nearly ten cubic meters per second.</p><br>
<h2>Geography and geology</h2><br>
<p>The elevation near the mouth of West Creek is 735 ft above sea level. The elevation of the creek&#39;s source is between 1,780 and above sea level.</p><br>
<p>The rock in the southern part of the watershed of West Creek is of the Trimmers Rock Formation. This consists of siltstone and shale and comes from the Devonian period. The northern part of the watershed has rock belonging to the Catskill Formation, which consists of sandstone and siltstone and also comes from the Devonian. The Huntley Mountain Formation can be found at the headwaters of the creek. This formation consists of sandstone and siltstone and comes from the Mississippian and Devonian periods.</p><br>
<h2>Watershed</h2><br>
<p>The watershed of West Creek has an area of 17.2 square miles. The creek&#39;s mouth is in the United States Geological Survey quadrangle of Benton. However, its source is in the quadrangle of Elk Grove.</p><br>
<p>There is significant agricultural activity done in the lower reaches of the watershed of West Creek and there are also some residential areas. Additionally, there are some agricultural lands in the upper reaches of the watershed. Much of the rest of the watershed is forested land. Some of the most downstream parts of the watershed are urban.</p><br>
<h2>History and etymology</h2><br>
<p>West Creek has been known by its current name since at least the late 1830s. The creek was entered into the Geographic Names Information System on August 2, 1979. Its identifier in the Geographic Names Information System is 1192054.</p><br>
<p>In 1799, a schoolhouse was constructed on West Creek near Benton. It was one of the first schoolhouses in the vicinity of Benton. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, there was a timber-producing business on the creek, run by J. Harvey Creveling.</p><br>
<p>In 1881, J. J. McHenry constructed a queen truss covered bridge over West Creek for $348.00. The bridge was moved to South Branch Roaring Creek when it was sold to H. H. Knoebel in 1936. A two-span concrete tee beam bridge carrying Pennsylvania Route 239 was built over the creek in 1934. It is 65.9 ft long and is located 2 mi north of Benton. Another bridge of the same type, but with only a single, was built 3.5 mi north of Benton in the same year. This bridge is 47.9 ft long. A two-span steel stringer/multi-beam or girder bridge was constructed over the creek in Benton in 1951. It is 81.0 ft long and carries State Route 4030. A bridge of the same time, was built 0.2 mi north of Benton in 1958. It is 65.0 ft long and carries T-720. A prestressed box beam or girders bridge carrying Pennsylvania Route 239 was built in 2004. It is located 1 mi north of Benton and is 55.1 ft long.</p><br>
<p>In 1914, the Benton Water Supply Company constructed a dam on West Creek upstream of Benton. A ten-acre private campground called the West Creek Gap Campgrounds was established at the headwaters of West Creek in 1979 by the wife of George Mikulski.</p><br>
<h2>Biology</h2><br>
<p>There are 41 macroinvertebrate taxa that have been observed in West Creek, more than have been observed in all of upper Fishing Creek. The number of macroinvertebrates per square meter in West Creek at the site WC1 (in the lower reaches of the creek) is nearly 900, which is far higher than the number of macroinvertebrates per square meter in any other site except the site WC2, in the middle reaches of the creek. Site WC2 has a macroinvertebrate density of 600 macroinvertebrates per square meter. Approximately 60% of the taxa are Ephemeroptera (mayflies), 10% each are Plecoptera (stoneflies), and approximately 5% are Trichoptera (caddisflies).</p><br>
<p>There are a total of eight species of wild fish in West Creek. Brook trout and brown trout both inhabit West Creek, although brook trout are slightly more common than brown trout, with nine brook trout and only seven brown trout being observed in a 2010 or 2011 electrofishing survey. Trout are more common upstream of the Pennsylvania Route 239 crossing of the creek than downstream of it. The most common fish in the creek are sculpin, eastern blacknose dace, and cutlips minnows. In the aforementioned electrofishing survey, a total of 81 sculpin, 34 black-nosed dace, and 17 cutlips minnows were observed. Other species of fish in the watershed include johnny darter, white sucker, and creek chub.</p><br>
<p>In 2011, the habitat quality of upper Fishing Creek and its tributaries were rated on a scale of 1 to 200 (with a higher rating indicating better habitability) by Point Park University and the Fishing Creek Sportsmans&#39; Association. The headwaters of West Creek were given a rating of 192. The rating is significantly lower further downstream, with it being 175 downstream of the crossing of Pennsylvania Route 239. The rating averages 138 where the creek is in Benton and the lowest rating is 115. This rating occurred downstream of the Market Street bridge in Benton.</p><br>
<p>The Shannon Diversity Index, which is commonly used to measure the diversity of biological communities, of West Creek is slightly over 2.5. The Hilsenhoff Biotic Index, a measure of pollution-tolerant macroinvertebrates, on much of the creek ranges from 1.6 to 2.5, although an area of the creek near Benton ranges from 2.6 to 3.5. There is little riparian buffering along the sections of West Creek where agriculture is done.</p><br>
<p>Lake Montauban is located in the municipality of Saint-Alban, in the Portneuf Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of the Capitale-Nationale, in the Quebec, in Canada.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>With a length of 6.3 km and a maximum width of 1.1 km Montauban Lake (Portneuf) is doing everything in length in the north-south axis. This lake is located entirely in the forest environment. The north end of the lake is located in the south-eastern part of the municipality of Rivière-à-Pierre, while most of the lake is located in the rank G (crossing 12 lots) and F (through 5 lots), located north of Saint-Alban. Thus, Montauban Lake is located northeast of Saint-Ubalde. The shape of the lake round the east corner of the Municipality of Notre-Dame-de-Montauban. The northern part of the lake extends into a strait leading to three small lakes including lake Nicolas and "petit lac Nicolas" (small lake Nicolas).</p><br>
<p>With 70 km, the Portneuf Regional Natural Park includes Long lake, Montauban, Carillon, Sept-Îles, En Cœur (In Heart), "À l&#39;Anguille" (at the Eel) and some other water bodies more secondary. This park is popular for tourist activities: hiking trails, boat ramp to the water... At the mouth of Long Lake, a dam 20 m long, offers a height of retained 3.2 m and capacity retained 25.8 e6m3 of water. This dam was built in wood in 1960 was rebuilt in concrete in 2011.</p><br>
<p>Lake Carillon is located west of the southern end of Lake Montauban, while Nadeau Lake is located in the south near the "long lake". Montauban lake discharges into the "Long Lake" located in the southeast. It discharges from the south in the Black River (Portneuf), which crosses the Saint Lawrence Lowlands serpentine manner to the village of Saint-Casimir where it flows into the Sainte-Anne River.</p><br>
<h2>Toponymy</h2><br>
<p>The toponym "Lac Montauban" was recorded as of December 5, 1968 at the Bank of place names in Commission de toponymie du Québec (Geographical Names Board of Québec).</p><br>
<p>Bishop Duppa’s Almshouses, Richmond are Grade II listed almshouses in Richmond, London. They were founded by Bryan Duppa, Bishop of Winchester, in 1661  to house ten unmarried women aged over 50.</p><br>
<p>The almshouses were originally built on Richmond Hill. By the 19th century they had become dilapidated. They were rebuilt in 1851 in The Vineyard, Richmond next to Queen Elizabeth&#39;s Almshouses and the front arch and gateway from the previous site are believed to have been incorporated in the rebuilding. in white brick to a Jacobean design by Thomas Little, receiving the old almshouse site in exchange.</p><br>
<p>Numbers 8, 9 and 10 were rebuilt in 1949 after Second World War bomb damage.</p><br>
<p>The almshouses are now managed by The Richmond Charities. New residents are accepted from 65 years of age.</p><br>
<p>Gallison Memorial Library is the public library of Harrington, Maine. It is located at 1292 Main Street  in Harrington&#39;s rural village center, in a small architecturally distinguished Colonial Revival brick building that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The building was a gift to the town from Alice  Gallison in memory of her husband Forest, and was built in 1922-23, with a major expansion in 2004.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and history</h2><br>
<p>The Gallison Memorial Library is located on the north side of US Route 1, just east of Center Street and about 0.5 mi west of the junction with US Route 1A. The street-facing original portion of the building is a small single-story brick building, with a side-facing gable roof, chimneys at the sides, and a concrete foundation. The front is symmetrical, with a center entrance flanked by fluted columns supporting an entablature, and a fanlight above the door. The outer bays have sash windows with round-arch fanlights above. The interior of this building is a single large room, with a fireplace at the east end and bookcases lining its walls.</p><br>
<p>The oldest library in Harrington was a private subscription library run by the local Martha Washington Society. By 1883 the Village Library Association had been formed, based in part on the Society&#39;s donated collection, and in 1912 it purchased a building on the present site for its use. In 1921 Alice (Stout) Gallison donated funds for the construction of a new library in memory of her late husband Forest, both Harrington natives. The Bangor firm of Crowell & Lancaster designed the building, which was completed the following year. The addition to the rear was made about 2004.</p><br>
<p>The Henry D. Moore Parish House and Library is an historic library and community meeting hall at 22 Village Road in Steuben, Maine. Built in 1911 and enlarged in 2007, it is a notable local example of a mix of Colonial Revival and Craftsman styles, and is the only known work in Maine of Philadelphia architect Isaac Parsell. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Moore Parish House and Library is located in Steubens village center, on the south side of Village Road, between the towns triangular green and United States Route 1. It is a two story wood frame structure, with a hip roof, clapboarded exterior, and a foundation that is part stone and part poured concrete. It consists of an original portion, roughly five bays wide, that was built in 1911, and a two-bay extension added to the right in 2007. The roof of the original portion has deep overhanging eaves with exposed rafter ends in the Craftsman style, and a complex pattern of window layout. A gabled entry projects near the center of this section, with a porch supported by round columns sheltering an entry with flanking sidelight windows. To the left of the entrance are row of stepped fixed-pane windows, marking the presence of a staircase. The interior includes an auditorium with stage, smaller meeting spaces, and two rooms used by the local historical society, in addition to the library facilities.</p><br>
<p>The original portion of the building was completed in July 1911 and publicly dedicated a month later. The building was a gift to the town of native son Henry Dyer Moore, a businessman active in New York and New Jersey. It has served the town since then as its public library, and as a community meeting space.</p><br>
<p>The Chocorua Lake Basin Historic District is a large historic district surrounding Chocorua Lake in the town of Tamworth, New Hampshire. It includes more than 6,000 acre, with the lake roughly at its center, extending from Washington Hill Road in the east to Fowles Mill Road and Philbrick Neighborhood Road in the west, and from the town line with Albany in the north to Heavenly Hill Road in the south. The districts significance derives from a large cluster of late 19th and early 20th century summer resort houses built around and near the lake, and the role the areas landowners have played in the conservation of the lake and viewsheds associated with it and nearby Mount Chocorua. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The area around Chocorua Lake in northeastern Tamworth was used primarily for agriculture in the first half of the 19th century, although some of the streams through the area had small mills sited on them. The first sign of interest in the region as a tourist area was in 1867. The Chocorua House, a local inn located on what is now New Hampshire Route 16 (and since lost to fire), was an early draw for tourists drawn to the scenic views of the lake and Mount Chocorua. Development of private properties as summer estates began in 1874, and was from an early date infused with a strong conservation ethic, dedicated mainly to the preservation of the lake. Charles Pickering Bowditch, a Harvard-educated Boston financier, purchased an old farmstead in 1879, and was instrumental in the acquisition for conservation of most of the lakeshore. Development was of a generally modest pace, first in the purchase and rehabilitation of old farm properties, and then in the construction of architect-designed summer houses. The community that arose was tightly knit, growing by word of mouth among friends and family, a trend that continued well into the 20th century.</p><br>
<p>Much of the land that is within the basin surrounding Chocorua Lake is protected either as conservation land, or by protective covenants controlling the future use of the property. Most of the properties are set well back on isolated lots, and now afford views primarily of Mount Chocorua. Views of the lake, which would have been possible due to the cleared nature of the landscape in the 19th century, have generally been lost due to natural reforestation of the area. There are about seventy residences in the historic district, of which fifty have historic character. Fifteen are based on farmsteads from the first half of the 19th century, which have in some cases been well-maintained to retain historic character. Later buildings are mostly in styles popular in the early 20th century: the Shingle style, Craftsman, and Colonial Revival. Architects who designed buildings in the district include Peabody and Stearns, Charles Adams Platt, and Charles Howard Walker; the latter was one of the area&#39;s summer residents.</p><br>
<p>Lake Kankakee formed 14,000 years before present  in the valley of the Kankakee River. It developed from the outwash of the Michigan Lobe, Saginaw Lobe, and the Huron-Erie Lobe of the Wisconsin glaciation. These three ice sheets formed a basin across Northwestern Indiana. It was a time when the glaciers were receding, but had stopped for a thousand years in these locations. The lake drained about 13,000 YBP, until reaching the level of the Momence Ledge. The outcropping of limestone created an artificial base level, holding water throughout the upper basin, creating the Grand Kankakee Marsh.</p><br>
<p>Lake Kankakee was a prehistoric lake during the Wisconsin glacial epoch of the Pleistocene Era. The lake formed during the period, when the Michigan and Saginaw lobes of the Laurentian glacier had receded back to the Valparaiso and Kalamazoo moraines. While the glacial advance became stagnant, the summer runoff formed a large lake covered parts of 13 counties in two states.</p><br>
<p>Around 1840, Mr. F. H. Bradley applied the name Lake Kankakee to the lake which he thought formerly occupied the Kankakee basin. The sand deposits outside the marsh were the first clue that the lake existed. These sands were the result of Aeolian or wind processes, not lacustrine, or fluvial processes. He predicted that the lake would have been at an elevation of 685 ft above sea level.</p><br>
<h2>Origin</h2><br>
<p>The Valparaiso Moraine formed the southern flank of the Michigan Lobe as well as the northern ridge of the Kankakee Valley. At the northern end of the valley, the Dowagiac River valley extended northward between the Valparaiso Moraine on the west and the Kalamazoo Moraine on the east. The Kalamazoo Moraine formed one side of the melting Saginaw Lobe, with the southern flank sitting on the Sturgis Moraine. South of the Sturgis Moraine, the future St. Joseph River was a marshy plain, extending southeastward towards the toe of the Huron-Erie Lobe. First the Union City Moraine formed, then as the ice receded and again stabilized the Mississinawa Moraine formed along the front of this ice The Saginaw Lobes meltwater flowed across the St. Joseph valley, while the Huron-Erie Lobes meltwater and sediments first flowed into the upper Tippecanoe River. When the glacier moved back to the Mississinawa Moraine, the off flowing water created the Eel River valley.</p><br>
<p>The waters coming down the St. Joseph valley crossed the till plain south and east of the future South Bend entering the valley of the Kankakee River. Water from the Huron-Erie Lobe came through the upper Tippecanoe valley, spreading across the till plain, in Starke, Pulaski, Jasper, and Newton counties, merging with the shallow waters in the Kankakee basin of St. Joseph, LaPorte, Porter and Lake counties. and the Marseilles moraine. On the west, the Marseilles moraine formed the final and lowest barrier. In the vicinity of Marseilles, Illinois the waters crested the divide and created an outlet into the pre-glacial Mississippi River, creating the modern Illinois River. This event is known as the Kankakee Torrent.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Lake Kankakee covered over 3,000 square miles of northern Indiana and the border of Illinois. The lake had two open bodies of water, split by the Iroquois Moraine, which formed a peninsula from the west. The northern waters stretched from just west of Momence, Illinois, along the main stem of the Kankakee River to the marshes southwest of South Bend, Indiana. The southern waters stretched from near Watseka, Illinois eastward to the Tippecanoe River. These two basins were linked across 35 mi of the nearly level Tipton Till Plain, west of the Tippecanoe River. The valley of the Tippecanoe from Monticello, north pass Winimac and reaching to Rochester was a part of this lake.</p><br>
<h2>Development</h2><br>
<p>Beginning around 15,000 years ago, the Michigan lobe of the Laurentian glacier had retreated back to a line along the Valparaiso Moraine, from Wisconsin along a line, 30 mi inland of Lake Michigan, southward, around the City of Chicago, and the southern tip of Lake Michigan, through Indiana, curving northward into the State of Michigan, only 15 mi inland from the shoreline. Meanwhile, the Huron-Saginaw lobe had melted back to the north and east along a line in Michigan extending from Holland eastward through Kalamazoo to Jackson. Beginning 14,000 years ago, the glacial lobes had cleared the valley of the Kankakee River of ice. At this point, the forward movement of ice coming from the north equaled the rate of melting over the summer season. Now stagnant, glacier provided a continuing source of ground rock and soil to the souther edge of the glacier, creating the Valaparaiso Moraine and releasing vast quantities of water, sand and silt into the valley beyond.</p><br>
<p>Lacustrine deposits are those deposited in lake water and only when the lake drains or the land rises, does it become dry land. Most of the soils throughout the counties surrounding the Kankakee are loamy (up to a quarter clay, quarter to half silt with less than half being sand.) The outwash plain is underlain by sand with gravel inter-bedded throughout. The prevailing westerly winds began to treat the Lake Kankakee like the shores of Lake Michigan. Dunes began to form along the south and eastern shoreline. Where ice blocks had been left behind, sand filled the depressions. Runoff from the Valparaiso Moraine built outwash ridges of sand leading into the lake. On the south, the winds built dunes.</p><br>
<p>As the volume of water decreased from the glacier melting northward, the lake slowly drained and filled. Not being able to cut a channel through the limestone ridge in Momence, the Kankakee Lake became 500,000 acres (202,346 ha) of marshland.</p><br>
<h2>Aeolian Sand</h2><br>
<p>The Aeolian sands form the southern boundary of Lake Kankakee as they result from the wind moving sand from the shoreline inland. This feature begins in the northeast along the Maxinkuckee moraine of the Saginaw ice lobe in Marshall County, Indiana near Lake Maxinkuckee and Culver, Indiana. While a few dunes are found on the moraine, the sand beds are along the western edge. The Maxinkuckee moraine follows the north side of Tippecanoe River into Fulton County eastward towards Rochester. The southeastern edge of the sands, swings south and west through Cass County, to west of Logansport, turning west and passing 9 mi north of Lake Cicott. Here a sand ridge forms the east border of the till plain sloping westward to the Tippecanoe River. This ridge runs westward in continuous line to the Tippecanoe Valley at Monticello. This is an lateral moraine between the Saginaw lobe on the north and the Erie lobe on the south. The ridge continue westward and becomes hard to distinguish as it passes west of Kentland, Indiana.</p><br>
<h2>Outlet</h2><br>
<p>Lake Kankakee was over 40 ft higher than the current river. It topped the western divide near Morris, Illinois, where a lake had formed as the glacier retreated from the Marseilles moraine. Initially, this water body, drained through numerous gaps in the moraine at the 640 ft to 650 ft above sea level, until the gap on the present Illinois River dropped lower than the rest, becoming the outlet for this lake.</p><br>
<p>This outlet crosses exposed bedrock implying that it was a long slow process. Thus, this lake and Lake Kankakee were held in check. The terraces and beaches in the Morris Basin are 560 ft above sea level or 60 ft above the present head of the Illinois River. This shows that this lake existed during the Valparaiso Moraine stage. The lakes level extended up the Kankakee River Valley about as far as Braidwood, where the sand dunes set in. Once this breach in the Marseilles moraine was created, it became the discharged for Lake Chicago. Combined with Lake Wauponsee’s waters, the outlet deepened. Lake Kankakee at this time was draining much of the St. Joseph Rivers watershed, which was fed the Saginaw lobe. The erosion by this quantity of water created many of the features along the Illinois River and the lower Kankakee River. The rock barrier at Momence halted erosion further upriver. The various lakes formed by the glacial retreats and its moraines were at their maximum levels at this time. The outlet was at or above 650 ft above sea level.</p><br>
<p>Coles Creek  is a tributary of Fishing Creek, in Columbia County, Pennsylvania and Sullivan County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is 6.0 mi long and is the first named tributary of Fishing Creek downstream of where East Branch Fishing Creek and West Branch Fishing Creek meet to form Fishing Creek. The creek is on the edge of Columbia County and parts of its watershed are in Luzerne County.</p><br>
<p>The watershed of Coles Creek has an area of 11.6 square miles. There are 15.08 mi of streams in the watershed. Most of the watershed is over rock of the Catskill Formation, although a small part of it is over rocks of the Huntley Mountain Formation. The water temperature of the creek ranges from slightly under 0 &deg;C to slightly under 20 &deg;C. Coles Creek is named after Ezekiel Cole.</p><br>
<h2>Course</h2><br>
<p>Coles Creek begins on Central Mountain in southeastern Sullivan County, Pennsylvania and flows south into Sugarloaf Township, Columbia County, near the border between Columbia County, Luzerne County, and Sullivan County. The creek flows south, leaving Central Mountain behind, to Pennsylvania Route 118, where it receives the tributary Chimneystack Run (which also starts on Central Mountain). It turns southwest and begins flowing parallel to Pennsylvania Route 487. It receives Ashelman Run and Fellow Hollow before flowing through the community of Tri Mills. Downstream of Tri Mills, it receives Hess Hollow and continues southwest to the community of Coles Creek. Shortly afterwards, the creek reaches its confluence with Fishing Creek.</p><br>
<h2>Hydrology</h2><br>
<p>Between May 2010 and July 2011, the water temperature of Coles Creek ranged from slightly under 0 &deg;C to nearly 20 &deg;C. The temperature was under 0 &deg;C in January 2011, February 2011, and March 2011, and approached 20 &deg;C in August 2010.</p><br>
<p>The concentration of dissolved oxygen in Coles Creek between May 2010 and July 2011 ranged from slightly under 7 milligrams per liter to just over 17 milligrams per liter. The dissolved oxygen concentration was just under 7 milligrams per liter in early June 2010 and was slightly over 7 milligrams per liter in August 2010. The concentration was over 17 milligrams per liter in late February 2011. This is the highest recorded concentration of dissolved oxygen at any point in the upper Fishing Creek watershed except Fishing Creek at Benton. The dissolved oxygen concentration in Coles Creek was also over 16 milligrams per liter in January 2011 and March 2011.</p><br>
<p>The pH of Coles Creek is sometimes only slightly above 6.0. However, it is usually between 6.5 and 7.5. The creek does not experience severe episodic acidification.</p><br>
<p>The discharge of Coles Creek is usually less than two cubic meters per second. However, it is sometimes between two and four cubic meters per second and in isolated instances can be as high as seven to eight cubic meters per second. In the creek, the pH tends to be lower when the discharge is higher.</p><br>
<p>The concentration of dissolved aluminum in Coles Creek is usually between 0 and 20 micrograms per liter. In some cases, it is between 20 and 40 micrograms per liter and in one case the concentration has been measured at approximately 70 micrograms per liter. The maximum concentration of dissolved aluminum in the creek is higher than in any other location in the upper Fishing Creek watershed except for East Branch Fishing Cree and West Branch Fishing Creek.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>Almost all of the watershed of Coles Creek lies over the Catskill Formation. This rock formation consists of sandstone and siltstone and comes from the Devonian period. The headwaters of the creek lie over the Huntley Mountain Formation. The Huntley Mountain Formation consists of sandstone and siltstone and comes from the Mississippian and Devonian periods.</p><br>
<p>There is a moraine at the confluence of Coles Creek with Fishing Creek. This causes there to be cone-shaped hills in the area.</p><br>
<h2>Watershed</h2><br>
<p>The watershed of Coles Creek has an area of 11.6 square miles. The drainage density of the watershed is 1.3 per mile. There are 15.08 mi of streams in the watershed. Most of the area along the creek is forested or residential. There are also scattered patches of agricultural land in the watershed. Additionally, there is a small patch of industrial land in the lower reaches of the creek. It occupies less than 0.09 square miles.</p><br>
<p>Major roads in the watershed of Coles Creek include Pennsylvania Route 118 and Pennsylvania Route 487. A community known as Coles Creek is located at the confluence of the creek with Fishing Creek.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Coles Creek was likely named between 1800 and 1810 after Ezekiel Cole, a mill owner in the area.</p><br>
<p>A fish habitat made of log cross vanes was installed in the headwaters of Coles Creek in 2012.</p><br>
<h2>Biology</h2><br>
<p>The biodiversity level of Coles Creek is similar to parts of the upper reaches of the main stem of Fishing Creek.</p><br>
<p>In 2011, the habitat quality of upper Fishing Creek and its tributaries were rated on a scale of 1 to 200 (with a higher rating indicating better habitability) by Point Park University and the Fishing Creek Sportsmans Association. The lower reaches of the creek were given a score of 166 to 200, indicating an optimal habitat. The Hilsenhoff Biotic Index of the creek is 2.6, which is higher than average. The creeks Shannon Diversity Index is 2.3, which is slightly above average.</p><br>
<p>The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission has designated Coles Creek to be Class A Wild Trout Waters between its source and the mouth of Marsh Run. Coles Creek and all of its tributaries support wild brook trout and wild brown trout.</p><br>
<p>There are nearly 200 aquatic macroinvertebrates per square meter in Coles Creek.</p><br>
<p>The Sayre Rock Island Depot is a historic railroad station located at 106 E. Poplar Ave. in Sayre, Oklahoma. The depot was built in 1927 along the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad ; it replaced Sayre&#39;s original Rock Island station, which opened outside the town limits in 1901. The new station is just two blocks north of downtown Sayre. It accommodated the increased traffic the line had gained in the early 1920s; it also helped the railroad compete with the recently designated USA Route 66. The station building was built from and has an Italian Renaissance Revival design. Its design resembles two other surviving Rock Island stations in Oklahoma: the Hobart Depot and the Walters Depot.</p><br>
<p>From the 1930s onward, railroad traffic on the Rock Island declined as travelers and freight moved on highways rather than trains. The railroad gave the station to the City of Sayre in 1972 after ending its passenger service. In the late 1980s, the Shortgrass Country Museum occupied the building. The depot was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 9, 2000.</p><br>
<h2>Building description</h2><br>
<p>The depot was erected on the north side of the railroad tracks. Grain storage facilities of various ages and size are on the south side of the tracks, extending both east and west of the station. The depot building is of one-story,brick and stucco Italian Renaissance Revival architecture style. It has red brick along the lower portion of the walls and stucco along the upper walls, with red, ceramic tile, gable-on-hipped roof and a concrete foundation. A stone stringcourse separates the brick from stucco on the walls. The windows are primarily six-over-one, hung with several four-over-one windows, with flat heads and stone sills. All of the exterior doors appear to be original. The three exterior pedestrian doors are glass and wood panel with three light transoms. There are two large, freight doors on either side of the baggage area, on the west end of the depot. The freight door on the north side is shorter than that on the south, to allow for the above grade dock. Decorative details include wide open eaves, oversize brackets with stone drops, triple windows, and a red brick chimney with a stone cap.</p><br>
<h2>Later modifications</h2><br>
<p>The exterior of the building remains intact. Modifications that have been made since the Shortridge Museum moved in do not impact the integrity of the building:</p><br>
<p>Two cooling units have been situated next to the dock on the south side; the hole on the south elevation for the former air conditioning unit has been covered with a metal panel</p><br>
<p>A new brick walkway has been constructed around the east, north and west sides with a new concrete sidewalk on the south side</p><br>
<p>The drive and parking lot around the building have been paved. The new brick walk, concrete sidewalk and paved drive and parking lot were all initiated and completed in 1999.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the building has been more extensively changed. Although the room configuration remains as constructed, the interior does not retain many historic features.</p><br>
<p>The trim and floors have been painted grey</p><br>
<p>The ticket window between the former Black waiting room and ticket office has been blocked off</p><br>
<p>The former Black restrooms have been combined to create a kitchenette</p><br>
<p>A new door has been created between the ticket office and the former white men&#39;s restroom</p><br>
<p>A doorway has been opened between the ticket office and the former white waiting room</p><br>
<p>The south portion of the Ladies Rest (waiting) Room has been blocked off.</p><br>
<p>Despite these alterations, the building maintains a high degree of integrity of location, setting, design, workmanship, materials, feeling and association.</p><br>
<h2>NRHP listing</h2><br>
<p>The depot was ruled eligible for listing on the NRHP under Criteria A and C, with a period of significance from 1927 to 1950.</p><br>
<p>The Marshall Islands War Memorial Park is a beachfront park located in Delap on Majuro Atoll, Marshall Islands. The park was part of the USA Headquarters Command Center for the Marshall Islands, which was responsible for administering the Marshall Islands following World War II. It was located next to the main USA airfield on the atoll until 1971, when a new airfield opened; it then became a collection point for World War II artifacts. The park includes weaponry and vehicles, such as Zeros and large ammunition pieces, from throughout the islands.</p><br>
<p>The park was added to the USA National Register of Historic Places on September 30, 1976. At the time, the Marshall Islands were part of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands.</p><br>
