<p>The W. B. Davis Hosiery Mill  is a historic industrial complex in Fort Payne, Alabama. The mill opened in 1884, in the midst of Fort Paynes economic boom, manufacturing building hardware & supplies. The main building, which features Colonial Revival details, is three stories tall, and 12-over-12 sash windows on each floor. An 85-foot  chimney has a flared top and corbeled brick course, imitating a doric order column. By 1890, promises of plentiful and high-quality iron ore and other minerals were proven to be exaggerated. Eight of the largest manufacturers in town  merged in a failed effort to avoid bankruptcy.</p><br>
<p>The mill building was purchased in 1909 by hosiery executive W. B. Davis, and converted it into a factory providing ribbing, knitting, and looping. The operation was soon expanded to include dyeing, shaping, and packaging, as it became the largest employer in Fort Payne and gave the town its nickname of the "Sock Capital of the World". The factory underwent a large expansion beginning in 1927, including a large wing off the main building, a knitting building, an expanded boiler room, other storage buildings, and an annex across the street. In 1948 the company was sold, and in 1974 a new building was constructed adjacent with production moved out of the original building.</p><br>
<p>The complex was listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage in 1976 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. The Annex was added to the National Register listing in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The Dr. James J. Bothwell House, also known as Bothwell-Embry House, is a historic residence in Ashville, Alabama. The house was built in 1835 for James Bothwell, the second doctor in Ashville, and also a clerk of the circuit court. It is a two-story Federal-style house, with a two-story pedimented portico supported by four Doric columns. In 1852 a wing was added to the rear of the house for a kitchen and dining room on the ground floor and a bedroom above. Another ground floor bedroom wing was added in 1882. Another bedroom was added above in 1917, and the area between the wings was enclosed. The house was listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage in 1979 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It is to be sold at auction in May 2014.</p><br>
<p>Holt Lake is a glacial lake that drains into the Kakat Lake, approximately 20 km northeast of Bakers Narrows. As a tributary of Mistik Creek, it is part of the Nelson River watershed, in the Hudson Bay drainage basin in the Northern Region of Manitoba, Canada. The lake sits in Churchill River Upland portion of the Midwestern Canadian Shield forests and is surrounded by mixed forest with stands of black spruce, white spruce, jack pine, and trembling aspen. The shoreline is characterized by steeply sloping irregular rock ridges and poorly drained areas of muskeg.</p><br>
<p>The region around the lake is largely inaccessible and very wild and is the home to woodland caribou.</p><br>
<p>Holt lake is named after a trapper who lived on the lake in the 1920s and kept a tame lynx and wolf.</p><br>
<p>The Hamblet-Putnam-Frye House is a historic house at 293 Burton Highway in Wilton, New Hampshire. This two story wood frame house was probably built in the 1760s, and significantly altered in the late 19th century. The property includes a c. 1840 barn, a c. 1900 carriage house that has been converted into a garage, and a small c. 1900 ice house. There are also remnants of an early 19th-century mill works, including a stone foundation, canal and sluice gate. The canal and sluice gate were altered in the early 20th century to permit the canal section to be filled for swimming. The northern boundary of the 6.8 acre property is defined by a surviving section of a road that was laid out c. 1760 which was taken out of public use before the end of the 18th century.</p><br>
<p>The property captures the adaptive alteration of early farmsteads and industrial properties to more recreational purpose. The house was built by Hezekiah Hamblet, and acquired in 1808 by Eliphalet Putnam, who operated what is now called Fryes Measure Mill, located just east of this property, as well as the millworks on this land. Although the ownership of the two parcels diverged in the 19th century, they were reunited by purchases made by Alice and Edmund Frye, who used the house as a summer residence, and continued to operate the Fryes Measure Mill, while that on this property was demolished.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<p>The Harrington-Smith Block, formerly known as the Strand Theater and the Manchester Opera House, is a historic commercial building at 18-25 Hanover Street in the heart of Manchester, New Hampshire. Built in 1881 to a design by John T. Fanning for two prominent local developers, the building is an expansive rendition of Queen Anne styling in brick and stone. It occupies 200 ft of frontage on Hanover Street, and 95 ft on Elm Street, the citys principal downtown thoroughfare. The building combined retail and commercial business activities with a large performing space  in the rear, which was accessed by a lobby on Hanover Street. The building was an early home to the Manchester Union Leader, the states major daily newspaper. After the closure of most of the citys mills beginning in the 1930s, the upper floors of the building were converted to residential use. Major fires in 1985 resulted in the loss of the auditorium, and significant damage to the rest of the buildings interior. It was rehabilitated, and continues to house shops on the ground level and residences above.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>

<p>The McCrary House  is a historic farm house near Huntsville in Madison County, Alabama. Founded after the initial federal land sale in Madison County in 1809, the farm has been in the McCrary family throughout. It was recognized as an Alabama Century & Heritage Farm in 1979, and reaffirmed on its 200th anniversary in 2009. Additionally, the house was listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage in 1979 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Thomas McCrary was born in Laurens County, South Carolina, in 1789, the son of a wealthy farmer. Though he had inherited 150 acres (61 ha) from his father, McCrary sold the land and moved to what is now North Alabama in 1809. He purchased 320 acres (130 ha) near other settlers from Laurens County. His farm grew to over 600 acres (240 ha) by 1833 and to a peak of 2,250 acres (900 ha) in 1850.</p><br>
<p>McCrary built a log cabin shortly after arriving on the property. He married the daughter of one of his neighbors in 1812, but she died in 1821. He remarried in 1823, and the next year built a two-story house with large halls on each floor. It was constructed of bricks handmade by slaves on the farm. McCrary also lent his brickmaking capacity to the construction of a new building for the nearby Enon Baptist Church; the church would move to Huntsville in 1861 and became the First Baptist Church of Huntsville. Around 1840 a two-story, partially sunken ell was added to the rear of the house, containing a dining room downstairs and sitting room upstairs.</p><br>
<p>McCrarys business interests extended beyond the farm. He acted as a cotton factor in Huntsville, and was also involved in tanning yards and groceries. McCrarys other investments included the Memphis and Charleston Railroad, which ran through Huntsville, and a turnpike which allowed easier transportation of goods to the Tennessee River. From 1856–60 he was a member of the Madison County Commissioners Court.</p><br>
<p>After Thomas McCrarys death in 1865, the farm and house passed to his son, Williams. Between 1868 and 1870, at the behest of Williams wife, who did not like living in a two-story house, the family home was rebuilt, reusing bricks and interior trimwork from the original 1824 house.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The current house is built with brick from the original 1824 house. The main portion is T-shaped with a cross-gable roof. A porch covers the main entrance, which opens into a small hall. The hall leads to two bedrooms and a parlor, which leads to another bedroom. A semi-enclosed louvered gallery running the length of the main house separates it from the Federal-style 1840 ell. Half a story above is a sitting room, and below is a dining room. In 1971 a "keeping room", functioning as an apartment and containing a kitchen, den, and bath, was built behind the ell on the site of an earlier kitchen.</p><br>
<p>The Scotland Cemetery is a historic cemetery in Scotland, an unincorporated community in rural Union County, Arkansas. It is located about 3 mi west of Junction City, off US Route 167 south of the Scotland Presbyterian Church. The cemetery was formally established in 1861, but had been used as a burying ground since the first settlers arrived in the area in the 1840s. It is the only tangible remnant of the community&#39;s early days; the nearby church is the third to stand on the site. The earliest grave with a known date is 1842; the cemetery has more than 30 unmarked graves, including some that are probable graves of slaves.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005, at which time it was still open for additional burials.</p><br>
<p>The Rialto Theatre is a historic performing venue at 117 East Cedar Street in downtown El Dorado, Arkansas. Built in 1929 during El Dorado&#39;s oil boom years, the theatre is one of the best local examples of Classical Revival architecture, and is one of the largest and most elaborately decorated performing spaces in southern Arkansas. It was designed by the local firm of Kolben, Hunter and Boyd, and seats 1400. Its main entrance has Egyptian Revival details, and is flanked by storefronts. The brick of the front facade is laid in a basketweave pattern, and is topped by a stone frieze, cornice, and parapet. The interior of the theatre is elaborately decorated. The theatre was owned for many years by the McWilliams family. It was closed from 1980 to 1987, and was operated as a three-screen movie theatre until 2006. It has since been reconverted for use as a live performance space after being completely empty for a couple of years and serving as a bar for a time.</p><br>
<p>The theatre was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986, and included in the El Dorado Commercial Historic District in 2003.</p><br>
<p>Pantops Farm is a historic house at 400 Peter Jefferson Road in Charlottesville, Virginia. It consists of a Colonial Revival main house, a guest house, and a building resembling a silo in appearance. This complex was designed by Benjamin Charles Barker and built in 1937 for James Cheek, whose family made its fortune in Maxwell House coffee. Its buildings, in particular the guest house and silo, were designed to appear as if they were older buildings that had been repurposed. The property is a small remnant of an estate that was once owned by Thomas Jefferson. It is now owned by the University of Virginia; the main house now holds the Thomas Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free Expression and the Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Collection. The property was given its name by Jefferson: pant-ops are Greek words meaning "all seeing", alluding to the property&#39;s expansive views of the surrounding countryside.</p><br>
<p>The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<p>Lake Wire, an almost-round lake, has a surface area of 22.17 acre. This lake is inside Lakeland, Florida, and the area surrounding it is completely urbanized. The lake was probably once oval shaped, but it appears it was partially filled on the southwest and northwest sides to allow parts of Lake Wire Drive to be built. It is almost completely surrounded by Lake Wire Drive, except for a distance of about 100 ft on the northeast. The lake is completely surrounded by a public sidewalk.</p><br>
<p>Lake Wire provides public access along its entire shore, via the sidewalk that surrounds it. The public is allowed to access the shore daily from dawn to dusk. There are no boat ramps or swimming areas along the lake shore, but it can be fished from the shore. The Take Me Fishing website says Lake Wire contains largemouth bass and bluegill.</p><br>
<p>Lake Wire was so named for the fact the lake contained poles carrying telegraph wires.</p><br>
<p>Lake Boonderoo is an ephemeral freshwater lake located in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia.</p><br>
<p>It is situated approximately 200 km east of Kambalda on the Nullarbor Plain. The lake covers an area of roughly 2,500 hectare when full. It is fed by Ponton Creek on its north western side.</p><br>
<p>The lake lies mostly within the boundaries of Boonderoo and Kanandah Stations which were established in the 1960s and have been running cattle since 1973. The lake has filled in 1975 following heavy rain events further north near Leonora after a cyclone. The rains filled both Lake Braeside and Lake Rebecca to overflow down Ponton Creek to fill Boonderoo and expand out to an area of between 50 km&sup2; to 80 km&sup2;. The next time the lake filled was in 1995 following Cyclone Bobby.</p><br>
<p>Lake Boonderoo is an important wetland for birds and invertebrates as it dries out and becomes increasingly saline. In 2005 the lake was found to have a 250 hectare infestation of the invasive weed, the tamarisk tree.</p><br>
<p>The Lord&#39;s Hill Historic District encompasses a historic village center in Effingham, New Hampshire. Located along New Hampshire Route 153 on a hill in northern Effingham, it is a well-preserved late 18th and early 19th-century rural village. It is named for Isaac Lord, a leading figure in its development in the early 19th century. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The area that is now the village of Lords Hill was first settled in the 1770s, its hilltop position located along one of the areas range roads (laid out by surveyors). The village became locally prominent in the 1790s, when Isaac Lord built his large Federal-style house, and operated a tavern there. He was instrumental in securing the town&#39;s meeting house for the village, which promoted further growth. In 1822 the Effingham Union Academy opened; its building is now a historical society property. The village has seen relatively little alteration since the mid-19th century.</p><br>
<p>The historic district covers about 32 acre, extending from the junction of NH 153 with Plantation Road in the south (the latter a continuation of the historic range road) northward to another junction with Hobbs Road (also a continuation of the range road). It then extends for a short distance along both Hobbs Road and NH 153. At the southern junction is a triangular park around which houses and civic buildings, including the academy and church, are arrayed. The large and stylish house of Isaac Lord is set on the north side of NH 153 just east of the junction with Hobbs Road. Most of the district&#39;s 21 properties are residential properties; there are also five small cemeteries. The church was built by Isaac Lord in 1798, and extensively restyled in the 1840s to achieve its present Greek Revival appearance.</p><br>
<p>The Madison School, District No. 1 is a historic one-room district schoolhouse, located on the grounds of the Madison Elementary School on New Hampshire Route 113 in Madison, New Hampshire. The school was built in 1835, and continues to exhibit Greek Revival characteristics despite alterations in 1873 and 1951. It was used as a school until 1950, has hosted town meetings, and has served as the local library. It is presently home to the local historical society. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Madison District No. 1 School is located in the village center of Madison, on the north side of NH 113, just west of the Madison Elementary School. It is a single-story wood frame structure with a gabled roof, clapboarded exterior, and granite foundation. The building corners have simple pilasters, rising to entablatures running along the building sides. Its main facade faces south, and has two symmetrically placed entrances, each framed by simple moulding and topped by four-light transom windows. The interior has two small vestibules, which open into the single classroom. The walls are finished in painted wood.</p><br>
<p>The school was built in 1835, and was originally located about 0.5 mi west of the present location. In early decades it was a frequent site of town meetings, owing to its central location. It was moved near its present location in 1873, at which time its window arrangements were altered to improve interior lighting. The building was converted for use as the town library in 1951, and was moved to its present location in 1980 to make way for an addition to the adjacent school building (now the Madison Elementary School). The building is now maintained by the local historical society.</p><br>
<p>The Lower Corner Historic District encompasses a small village center in the town of Sandwich, New Hampshire. Lower Corner is a rural village that is strung along New Hampshire Route 109 on either side of its junction with School House Road, about one mile from the main village of Center Sandwich. The village was developed relatively early in Sandwich&#39;s history, although its oldest buildings now date to the early 19th century. There are 25 contributing structures, mostly residences. There are two buildings built as stores, including one of brick; all the other buildings are wood frame. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>The town of Sandwich was first settled by Daniel Beede in the early 1770s, when he built a log cabin near Lower Corner. The village grew quickly, and was the site of Sandwichs first town meeting in 1772. By 1812 it was a prosperous country village, and was given the towns first post office. It was also the site of the town&#39;s first academy and congregational church, neither of which survive. The oldest buildings that survive date to the 1810s, and include a former tavern and a modest Cape style house. The Brick Store was built in 1845, and features ornate Italianate detailing, while the Wentworth Store, built in the 1830s, boasts more modest Greek Revival styling.</p><br>
<p>The Greek Revival is the most common form of architectural expression in the district. Two house have full high-style Greek temple fronts, with two-story columns supporting a full-pedimented gable. One of these, the William Weed house, was probably one of the fanciest houses in town at the time of its construction c. 1850. It was eclipsed, however, by Chestnut Manor, located at the top of the hill. Built by Isaac Adams, a local who made a fortune in Boston, Massachusetts, it stands out because of its prominent location and its three-story tower, which is topped by a pyramidal slate roof and globe finial.</p><br>
<p>The Moultonborough Town House is the former town hall of Moultonborough, New Hampshire. It is located on New Hampshire Route 25 in Moultonborough&#39;s main village, and is now home to the local historical society. It was built in 1834, and is one the oldest town hall buildings in Carroll County. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Moultonborough Town House is located on New Hampshire Route 25, a short way west of its junction with New Hampshire Route 109, in the village center. It is a single-story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof, clapboarded exterior, and stone foundation. The main facade has a double-leaf center entrance, with sash windows flanking, and in the gable end above. The windows and entrance are topped by shallow projecting cornices. At the building corners, simple cornerboards rise to a boxed cornice and frieze. A small single-story ell projects to the rear. The interior of the building has a single large chamber, finished in vertical bead-board wainscoting and horizontal bead board above. A small kitchen area is in one corner, and the ell provides restroom facilities.</p><br>
<p>The town house built in 1834, and served as town hall until 1949, when town meetings were moved to a school auditorium. It was converted for use by the Moultonborough Historical Society in 1960. Its original interior appearance is not known due to the lack of documentation attending alterations made 1857, 1884, and in 1916. The property also includes a former district schoolhouse, moved there in 1987.</p><br>
<p>The Maysville Historic District is a historic district in Mobile, Alabama. The district covers 451 acre and contains 1121 properties located southwest of downtown and directly south of the Leinkauf Historic District. Platted in 1871 in the midst of a recession in Mobile, the neighborhood did not begin to develop until the late 1890s. Maysville has long been a working class neighborhood; many late 1890s and early 1900s houses were bungalows and cottages, some with modest Victorian influences. Some larger and more decorated houses were built in the northeastern portion of the neighborhood. In the early 20th century and into World War I and World War II, the Port of Mobile and its shipyards became a focus of Mobile&#39;s economy, and the population grew in response. The early 20th century saw many craftsman-style bungalows and four square houses built. Minimalist Traditional and some ranch-style houses became popular around and after World War II. Notable contributing buildings in the district are Ladd–Peebles Stadium, built in 1948, and Williamson High School, built in 1965. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<p>Eugene Field Park is a public park located along the North Branch of the Chicago River in the Albany Park neighborhood of Chicago. The park was platted, designed and constructed between 1923 and 1930, with the Clarence Hatzfeld-designed field house completed in 1930 under the auspices of the Albany Park District. The Chicago Park District was consolidated in 1934 and took over Eugene Field Park. The park has seen numerous changes and improvements over the years. Eugene Field park has tennis courts, athletic fields, a playground, two bridges and 60 foot tall light tower. Together, the park, and its historic features were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>1920s</h3><br>
<p>Eugene Field Park is located on 16 acres of land along the North Branch of the Chicago River in the Northwest Side neighborhood of Albany Park. The Albany Park District officially changed the park&#39;s name from Central Park to Eugene Field Park in November 1926.</p><br>
<h3>1930s and 1940s</h3><br>
<p>By 1930 nearly half of Albany Parks population was Jewish, about 23,000 people. Many Jewish organizations utilized Eugene Field Parks field house during the Depression years. Some of those groups include: Congregation Bnai Sholom, the Albany Park Hadassah, the Kimball Bryn Mawr Hebrew School, and the National Home for Jewish Children of Denver. Additionally, Christian groups used the facilities at the field house as well. Groups such as Ainsile Baptist Church, the Albany Park Presbyterian Church, and others used the field house throughout the 1930s. Other, non-religious, groups used the parks field house during this time too. For example, the 39th Ward Civic Club and Chicago Public Library; and the building was sometimes used by needy families trying to raise funds or by groups holding a benefit such as the Albany Park Employees Association.</p><br>
<p>The Albany Park District fell behind on its bills by 1932 and it became clear that the district, as an independent entity, was not going to survive the lean years of the Great Depression. It was during this time that the 60 foot tall light tower was erected near the tennis courts.</p><br>
<h3>2000s</h3><br>
<p>In 2001, Albany Park Theater Project, a youth theater ensemble that makes theater based on the stories of people from the Albany Park neighborhood, took residence at the park through the Chicago Park District&#39;s Arts Partners in Residence program. In 2008 the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency undertook a two-week project that removed 1400 cubic feet of illegally dumped concrete, asphalt and shingles in a half-acre section of the park.</p><br>
<h3>2010s</h3><br>
<p>Beginning in April 2011 the USA Army Corps of Engineers undertook a project intended to restore the degraded river habitats.</p><br>
<h3>Flooding</h3><br>
<p>The area around Eugene Field Park has been subject to flooding over the years; floods struck the area in 2008 and 2013.</p><br>
<p>The National Weather Service (NWS) maintains a river gauge east of the park along Albany Avenue, close to River Park.</p><br>
<p>The 2013 floods led Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel to criticize a previous city plan to alleviate flooding by installing more marshland along the river.</p><br>
<h2>Facilities</h2><br>
<p>The park&#39;s tennis courts have been in the same location since c. 1925-1930. Historically, there were two playgrounds divided by an oval path; north of these areas were other recreation features, including a wading pool. During the 1950s the Chicago Park District reneovated the playground area and added additional features including an open shelter, a sand court, wading pool and a basketball court. Between 1970 and 1980 the wading pool was converted into a spray feature. The playground equipment and area has had additional updates in the ensuing years.</p><br>
<p>North of the river is a more wide open landscape that features athletic fields used for soccer, football, baseball and softball. The park was one of 85 that the Chicago Park District highlighted in a 2008 brochure entitled "Nature in the City". The brochure noted Eugene Field Park for its access to the natural habitat of the "river&#39;s edge".</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<h3>Field House</h3><br>
<p>Clarence Hatzfeld designed the brick field house in 1928. It opened to the public in 1930 on a site south of the North Branch of the Chicago River. The building is designed in the Tudor Revival style and includes such stylistic elements as half-timbering, patterned brick and crenellated cornices.</p><br>
<p>The field house interior features terrazzo floors. In the auditorium are original light fixtures and the hallways feature decorative brackets.</p><br>
<p>Directly in front of the field house is a circular driveway that dates to the 1930s, possibly earlier. This circular driveway connects with Ridgeway Avenue. In the past there was a fountain in the grassy "island" in the middle of the driveway. No longer extant, the fountain has been replaced by ornamental trees and several large boulders.</p><br>
<h3>Landscape</h3><br>
<p>Henry J. Stockmans drafted the original plans for Eugene Field Park. In addition to designing the field house, Hatzfeld also contributed recommendations about the development of the park. Stockmans original plans no longer exist but in general his design philosophy followed the "naturalistic" tendencies of Jens Jensen. Jensen was superintendent of the West Chicago Parks Commission while Stockmans worked as foreman for that park districts landscape department during the early 1900s. Both men had worked together when they were among a group that advised the Horticultural Society of Chicago concerning the decor for their annual flower show.</p><br>
<h3>Light tower and footbridges</h3><br>
<p>Eugene Field Park features a 60-foot flood light tower. The light tower was installed in 1937 by the Chicago Park District to provide lighting to recreation facilities northwest of the field house and south of the river. The tower is still in use. Until the 1980s there was a flag pole and World War I memorial in the park to the west of the flood light tower. After it fell into disrepair the park district demolished the memorial.</p><br>
<p>There are two bridges within park boundaries. A footbridge over the Chicago River was designed by Hatzfeld in 1927 and opened in 1928. The original footbridge featured an arched wooden deck with metal support beams. Its original X-shaped rails were constructed from rough hewn lumber and at both the north and south ends of the bridge were covered shelters. When the Chicago Park District significantly rebuilt and altered the bridge in 1942, they kept the shelters intact. It is not known when the shelters were removed from the site. The park district undertook extensive reconstruction of the bridge again in 1995. While the original steel structure was maintained, the deck was replaced with asphalt and the railing replaced with chain link fencing.</p><br>
<p>The park&#39;s second bridge was constructed by the Chicago Park District in 2003. The historic hedge-lined double-oval pathway in the eastern part of the park was removed to make way for the new bridge. The new bridge, known as the Carmen Avenue Connector, joined a bicycle trail system that linked open spaces along the Chicago River, including River and Kiwanis Park east of Eugene Field and Gompers Park to the west.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>The USA National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) listed Eugene Field Park on August 8, 2006. The park is part of the NRHP Multiple Property Submission "Historic Resources of the Chicago Park District".</p><br>
<p>The Hoyt Shoe Factory is a historic factory complex at 477 Silver Street and 170 Lincoln Street in Manchester, New Hampshire. It consists of two once-identical four-story brick factory buildings which face each other across Silver Street. One was built in 1892, the other in 1895, and both have had additions made to them in the early 20th century. They were designed by industrial architect Augustus G. Stevens for Francis M. Hoyt, and, along with other nearby buildings, were the citys largest shoe manufactory. Located outside the citys main mill district, which was operated by the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company, shoe production gained in economic importance as the textile industry declined, and the Hoyt Company operated here until 1971, although much of the space was taken over by other manufacturing concerns after the 1930s.</p><br>
<p>The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Hillsborough Railroad Bridge was a historic covered railroad bridge spanning the Contoocook River in Hillsborough, New Hampshire. It was destroyed by arson in 1985. The bridge was a two-span Town-Pratt lattice truss span, mounted on granite abutments and a central wooden pier, which replaced a granite pier washed away in 1938. It had a total length of 219 ft. It was built in 1903 by the Boston and Maine Railroad, and was at least the second bridge on the site.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. At the time of its nomination it was one of six covered railroad bridges in the state; it and at least one other (the Goffstown Covered Railroad Bridge) were destroyed by the actions of arsonists.</p><br>
<p>The Rondo Plateau is a high and extensive massif in the Mtwara Region of southeastern of Tanzania, which is in part protected by the Rondo Forest Reserve. It is reached about 60 km inland of Lindi, and is situated 15 km north of the Masasi road. It was revealed as an important biodiversity site in studies conducted since the 1980s.</p><br>
<h2>Flora</h2><br>
<p>It is an important stand of primary coastal forest in Tanzania, but also contains elements of montane forest, as it reaches 900 metres in altitude. The higher slopes are covered in extensive semi-deciduous, hardwood forest, constituting over 18 square km of closed canopy forest. Some 100 species of plant are endemic to the area.</p><br>
<h2>Fauna</h2><br>
<p>Various monkey species and small mammals occur. The Rondo dwarf galago was discovered here in the 1990s by Simon Bearder.</p><br>
<h2>Conservation</h2><br>
<p>Though a forest reserve since colonial times, much wood was harvested in the 1950s, when some 20 square km of forest was cleared to establish exotic plantations.</p><br>
<p>Tahquitz Canyon is located in Southern California in the Coachella Valley near Palm Springs, California. It has been continually inhabited for at least 2,000 years by the Cahuilla tribe of Native Americans. It is one of many canyons of cultural significance to the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians.</p><br>
<h2>Legend of Tahquitz</h2><br>
<p>Tahquitz Canyon is an important location in the creation myths of the Agua Caliente band. Although the legend comes in many versions, most regard Tahquitz as a powerful nukatam, roughly "Shaman," who was created directly by the creator of the world, Mukat. He became obsessed with a young woman whom he kidnapped and took to Tahquitz canyon, where they lived for several years. Due to her continued unhappiness, Tahquitz allowed her to leave on the condition that she not tell her people what had transpired. She disregarded this warning and was consequently struck dead by Tahquitz&#39; power. The legend states that Tahquitz himself is immortal, that he still imparts power to worthy nukatam, and that he steals the souls of those who venture too far into his canyon at night. He is said to be the cause of the earthquakes in the area, and to reveal himself as a bright ball of green light or a meteor. Other versions of the legend report that Tahquitz was a normal man who gained his powers when he fled his people, as opposed to being directly created by Mukat.</p><br>
<h2>History of human occupation</h2><br>
<p>In the late Quaternary period, the Colorado river had sometimes discharged its waters not into the Gulf of California as it currently does, but into the Salton Basin. This resultant body of water, known as Lake Cahuilla, was a major food supplier to the indigenous people of the area, supporting large populations of fish and migratory birds. The Salton Sea currently occupies the bottom of the former Lake Cahuilla.</p><br>
<p>At some point in the past few thousand years, Lake Cahuilla disappeared, and easy access to fresh water, fish, and fowl along with it. This forced the Cahuilla Indians in the area to relocate to new sources of water. Along with Andreas Canyon, Palm Canyon, and Murray Canyon, Tahquitz Canyon was one such location.</p><br>
<p>Indians living in the canyon created various petroglyphs, most of which are lost today. Stone artifacts were discovered in the canyon including arrow shaft straighteners made from soapstones (steatites) and heated to steam and shape arrows. Fragments of broken ceramic ollas were also found in the canyon, used to store water, seeds and to bury the cremated remains of the dead.</p><br>
<p>Irrigation ditches in the canyon were used by the Agua Caliente people to carry water to crops before the arrival of outsiders.</p><br>
<h2>Flood control</h2><br>
<p>Flood control channels were laid in order to manage the threat of devastating flooding occurring during years of heavy rain and snow fall in the mountains of the Tahquitz Canyon. As a consequence of the project, the Tahquitz creek was channeled with the least impact to the resources of the canyon. An excavation project preceded the flood control project.</p><br>
<h2>Archaeological project</h2><br>
<p>Between 1988 and 1994 an extensive program conducted excavations and retrieval of artifacts and archaeological data in the Canyon. The project produced the largest collection of artifacts and features of any site in the southern California desert and constitutes the most extensive research on the history of the inhabitants of Tahuqitz Canyon, the Kauisiktum clan of the Agua Caliente. The project was conducted prior to the Tahquitz Creek Flood Control Program.</p><br>
<h2>Reintroduced wildlife</h2><br>
<p>In 2010, researchers from the San Diego Zoo, USA Fish and Wildlife Service, and California Department of Fish and Game reintroduced the endangered Mountain yellow-legged frog into Tahquitz Creek after it had been rediscovered in 2009.</p><br>
<h2>Desert Plays</h2><br>
<p>From 1921 through 1930 the canyon was used for outdoor plays. The series of three Desert Plays featured Fire and The Arrow Maker by Mary Hunter Austin and one based on the legend of Tahquitz, written by Garnet Holme.</p><br>
<h2>In film</h2><br>
<p>The Tahquitz Falls were used as a scene in Frank Capra&#39;s 1937 film, Lost Horizon.</p><br>
<h2>Visitor's Center and hiking trail</h2><br>
<p>The Agua Caliente Band maintains a visitor&#39;s center and hiking trail for the canyon. The trail is a two-mile loop which leads to Tahquitz Falls and back.</p><br>
<p>The House at 574 Bellefontaine St. is a historic house located at 574 Bellefontaine Street in Pasadena, California. Architect Sylvanus B. Marston of Marston, Van Pelt & Maybury designed the Swiss chalet style house, which was built in 1911 for developer G. Roscoe Thomas. The two-story house is built on a steep hill and has an "L"-shaped layout; the main entrance is located on the north side&#39;s second story. The front facade includes a large gable on the south side and a smaller one over the entrance porch; the larger gable features half-timbered woodwork. A stair tower at the back of the main corner has a pointed roof and an adjacent chimney stack. The north leg of the house has a second-story porch in the rear, while the west leg features arched windows and doors on the first floor and casement windows on the second.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 6, 1998.</p><br>
<p>The Khao Khiao Massif  is a moderately high mountain range near Chonburi, Eastern Thailand. This massif has the last substantial forested zone in Chonburi Province, a region that is much affected by urbanization and other forms of human intervention and land degradation.</p><br>
<p>Khao Khiao is the mountain area that is closest to Bangkok, rising about 40 km to the southeast of the capital.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The mountains of the massif are smooth and forested. They are partly covered with dry and moist broadleaf forest in the lower ranges.</p><br>
<p>The Khao Khiao Massif rises east of the Motorway 7 to Pattaya and Rayong. The highest point in the mountains is the 789 m high Khao Khiao.</p><br>
<h2>Protected area</h2><br>
<p>The Khao Khiao – Khao Chomphu Wildlife Sanctuary (เขตรักษาพันธุ์สัตว์ป่าเขาเขียว-เขาชมภู่) is a protected area located in the massif. Founded in 1974, it is an IUCN Category IV wildlife sanctuary, measuring 145 km² in size.</p><br>
<p>The Khao Khiao Open Zoo is located at the foot of the mountain massif on its southern side.</p><br>

<p>Matthes Crest is an approximately mile-long fin of rock with two summits separated by a deep notch. It is a part of the Cathedral Range, which is a mountain range in the south-central portion of Yosemite National Park. The range is part of the Sierra Nevada.</p><br>
<h2>History and Geology</h2><br>
<p>Matthes crest is named for François E. Matthes, a cartographer and author who described the geology in the region where Matthes Crest lies. It was originally named "Echo Ridge" due to its proximity to the Echo Peaks. Matthes crest arose as a nunatak in the glacial field which covered Tuolumne during the last ice age.</p><br>
<h2>Climbing</h2><br>
<p>The first known ascent of Matthes Crest was by Jules Eichorn, Glen Dawson, and Walter Brem on June 16, 1931. Climbing Matthes Crest by traversing the ridge from south to north is a popular alpine climbing activity today.</p><br>

<p>The Cinconcine Lake is located on the west bank of the Saint-Maurice River in the territory of La Tuque, in Mauricie, in Quebec, in Canada. The area surrounding the lake is part of the northern part of the Zec Wessonneau.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Cinconcine Lake has the shape of a boot with the tip pointing to the southeast towards the hamlet of "Rivière-aux-Rats (La Tuque)", located on the eastern shore of Saint-Maurice River. The lake has a length of 6.5 km and 3.2 km wide. It is located 18 km (direct line) west of La Tuque and 21 km (direct line) northwest of the hamlet "Rivière-aux-Rats". Surrounded by mountains, this is located entirely in the forest environment. Annually, the surface of the lake is frozen from November to April. On the west side, the sub-watershed is that of Deveriche River (La Tuque) and the watershed of the Wessonneau River is on South.</p><br>
<p>Cinconcine Lake is surrounded by high mountains, whose peaks reach 400 m on the east side and also to the south-west. In northeast, the lake receives water from a long narrow valley with several lakes including: Grandmont, Tom and Franquet. While in the north-east, Cinconcine Lake receives water from the outlet of Lake Lachance. In the west side, it receives the waters of Lakes Baxter and Bordeleau. On the same side, a small river empties into Lake Sinuous which forms a nearly closed bay of Lake Cinconcine.</p><br>
<p>Cinconcine lake has an area of 1,272 hectares and a depth of 99 m. The lake surface is at an elevation of 244 m (or 801 feet) above sea level. Contact dam: latitude: 47° 22 36.4" (47.3768°) north; longitude: 73° 01 42" (73.0283°) west.</p><br>
<p>Cinconcine dam</p><br>
<p>Cinconcine dam is located at the mouth on the south side of the lake. The outlet of the lake is designated "Cinconsine Creek" by Commission de toponymie du Québec (Geographical Names Board of Québec), which goes south on 5.5 km (including one kilometer across Boulanger Lake). After crossing the dam, water accumulates into the small lake Napinu, which discharges to the south to "Lac Miroir" (Mirror Lake). The first segment of the river, between the dam and the lake Cinconcine Boulanger Lake, is 2.5 km. The distance between Boulanger Lake and the Rivière aux Rats (La Tuque) is 2 km. The coordinates of the mouth are: latitude: 47° 2237&quot longitude: 73° 01 44".</p><br>
<p>In order to reach the west side of the Cinconcine lake by road from Quebec Route 155 (located east of Saint-Maurice River), it is required to cross the bridge in the hamlet of Rivière-aux-Rats (Mauricie), which spans the Saint-Maurice River. Then continue on the forest road to the northwest along the Rivière aux Rats (La Tuque) 25.4 km; then take a right fork on about 9 km, along Cinconcine River.</p><br>
<p>The Chief Shakes Historic Site is a historic collection of original and recreated Native Alaskan artifacts. It is located on Shakes Island, inside Wrangell Harbor, Wrangell City and Borough, Alaska. The most prominent feature of the site is a 1940 reconstruction of a Tlingit community house. This structure incorporates six original house posts, carved poles similar to totem poles. The house posts, four of which are from the community house of Chief Shakes, a line of like-named Tlingit clan leaders, are reported to be among the oldest known to survive. The house is surrounded by seven totem poles, two of which are original Tlingit work, and five of which are copies created by crews of the Civilian Conservation Corps that also built the house.</p><br>
<p>The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.</p><br>
<p>The City Hall of Manchester, New Hampshire, is located at 908 Elm Street, the city&#39;s principal commercial thoroughfare. The brick-and-granite three story structure was built in 1844-45 to a design by Boston architect Edward Shaw. It presents a five-bay facade to Elm Street and a three-bay facade to Market Street . The center of the three-bay facade projects slightly and rises in a tower that rises two more stories above the building. When first built, the Elm Street facade was taken up by retail space on the ground floor , with city offices above; the main entrance was then through the base of the tower. In 1895 the city took over the entire ground floor, moving the main entry to the center bay on Elm Street. The building is a good example of early Gothic Revival styling.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<p>The oldest known people with sustained civilizations in Indiana are the Woodland Indians. These mound builders lived in what would become Indiana from approximately 1,000 BC to 900 AD. These Native American tribes disappeared, and were replaced by other tribes during the 1700s. In future northeast Indiana, the new tribes were the Miami and Potawatomi Indians. The Lake James area was the hunting grounds of the Potawatomi Indians, who managed the land and wildlife with periodic controlled burns.</p><br>
<p>Following an 1830 treaty, most of the Potawatomi moved west, although the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians, led by Leopold Pokagon, negotiated an agreement that enabled them to stay in southern Michigan. Pokagon State Park, located on Lake James, is named in honor of chief Leopold Pokagon and his son Simon. The parks size is 1,260 acres and is adjacent to all three basins of Lake James—and Lake Snow. The park has two beaches with swimming areas on Lake James. One beach is located in front of the parks Potawatomi Inn, which faces the north side of the lakes First (or Lower) Basin. The other beach (and bath house) can be found on the southeastern shore of the lakes Third (or Upper) Basin.</p><br>
<h3>Settlement</h3><br>
<p>Settlement of the area started after the surveys of the 1830s, but the population growth was slow because access roads were limited. The nearby community of Jamestown had a population of only 779 by 1870. By that time, the lake was well known for good fishing. Cottages began appearing on Lake James during the end of the 19th century. A portion of Spring Point, located on the west side of the lake where the First and Second basins meet, was platted in 1895. Settlement accelerated when an electric railway connected the city of Angola with the southernmost shore of the lake&#39;s First Basin, known as Paltytown.</p><br>
<h3>Railway</h3><br>
<p>Regular passenger service began on July 14, 1904.</p><br>
<p>By 1914 Paltytown was described as "several cottages, a supply store, a photograph gallery and dancing pavilion, and the Lake James Hotel." Two piers were located at the beach, and boats were available for rent. In many cases, people reached their cottages on the lake by taking a train to Angola and then taking the electric railway to the lake. From Paltytown, they could reach their cottage by boat.</p><br>
<p>The Lake James Electric Railway was rarely profitable and never expanded after the 1904 extension. A reorganized version of the company was renamed Indiana Utilities Company in 1912. The last regularly-scheduled trip made by the railroad was on October 15, 1918. The railroad was dismantled and its properties sold in 1919. The Paltytown properties were sold in 1922. Better roads and the automobile made the railroad obsolete, but it played a key role in the lake&#39;s development. In 1928 another group agreed to purchase the Paltytown properties, and the former resort became the Lake James Christian Assembly.</p><br>
<h3>Mail</h3><br>
<p>In 1927 the United States Postal Service announced that it would provide mail delivery service to lake front residents of Lake James using boats. Delivery by boat was provided all summer six days per week. By the 1950s, Lake James was thought to be the only "fresh-water delivery route on an inland lake in the United States with a cottage-to-cottage delivery by speedboat." Summer service was provided from June 1 through September 15 to lake front properties with mailboxes at the end of their pier. About 200 residences received letters, packages, and newspapers. Stamps were sold directly from the boat. During peak times, delivery could take as long as four hours using a boat powered by a 25-horsepower motor.</p><br>
<h3>Bledsoe's Beach</h3><br>
<h3>Major accidents</h3><br>
<p>Lake James has been the site of a plane crash and a rare hang gliding fatality. In 1971 a Piper Tri-Pacer crashed into Lake James, killing the pilot. The plane was flying at low altitude when a wing hit the water about 500 feet from the shore. The wing was torn off, and the plane plunged into water about 85 ft deep. Another fatality happened in 1972, when a hang-glider was killed. The kite was being pulled by a boat when the flyer lost control, causing the kite (and flyer) to plummet about 60 feet before striking the surface of the lake. The lake has also been the site of accidents involving thin ice. An example transpired in January 1985 when four snowmobiles broke through thin ice, and three people drowned.</p><br>
<h2>Watershed</h2><br>
<p>Lake James has a catchment area of 4,322 acre. Its primary tributaries are Croxton Ditch, the Sowles Bay inlet, and the Whisper Bay inlet. Croxton Ditch is the largest, and flows into the First Basin from the south side at a rate of 61.74 cuft/min. The Sowles Bay and Whisper Bay inlets also flow into the Lower Basin, entering from the southeast and west sides, respectively. The Whisper Bay inlet flows at 26.61 cuft/min, while the inlet at Sowles Bay flows at 4.17 cuft/min. The primary inflow for the Third Basin is a short channel from Snow Lake on the basins north side. Water from the First and Third basins flows to the Second Basin, where it exits the lake on the west side through a short channel named Jimmerson Creek that enters Jimmerson Lake. The lakes mean hydraulic retention time is 312 days.</p><br>
<h3>James chain</h3><br>
<p>Lake James is part of the James Lake Chain which consists of a group of glacial lakes located in the northeastern corner of Indiana and part of Michigan. Lake James is the largest lake in this group of lakes, and also the fourth largest natural lake in Indiana. Most of this region is within Indiana&#39;s Steuben County. The James Lake Chain watershed drains westward through the Middle Basin of Lake James into Jimmerson Lake, which is part of another watershed. Water from Jimmerson Lake continues westward over a dam at Nevada Mills, forming Crooked Creek. This creek flows northwest, becoming the Fawn River. Eventually, the Fawn River joins the St. Joseph River, which empties into Lake Michigan near the city of Constantine, Michigan.</p><br>
<h2>Water quality</h2><br>
<p>The USA Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) classified Lake James as a mesotrophic lake in 1973, meaning that it had an intermediate level of nutrient enrichment. The EPA sampled the lakes water in May, August, and October of that year. Water temperature for Lake James ranged from 8.0 to 25.8 C in early August, and averaged 16.8 &deg;C for all of the samples taken that day. The lakes pH ranged between 7.3 and 8.5, with an average of 7.8. Dissolved oxygen is necessary for fish and other water organisms, and most fish need 3 to 5 milligrams per liter. The concentration of dissolved oxygen in Lake James ranged from 0.0 to 8.8 milligrams per liter for various depths during early August, and averaged 4.6.</p><br>
<p>Nutrients such as phosphorus and forms of nitrogen are essential for plants, yet excess amounts can result in lower dissolved oxygen. The Sechhi depth of the lake averaged 2.7 m in August, although the depth was deeper in May and October.</p><br>
<p>The mesotrophic classification was confirmed in 2005 by additional studies. During the ten years prior to 2006, a new waste water plant was constructed, connecting nearly all the homes on Lake James to off-site waste treatment facilities. This removes a significant portion of nutrient loading in the lake, and should have a positive impact on future water quality.</p><br>
<h2>Climate</h2><br>
<p>Historical weather data is available for Angola, Indiana, which is about 3 mi from Lake James. Angola averages about 7.5 days when the high temperature is 90 &deg;F or higher. It also typically has about 13.3 days when the low temperature is 0 &deg;F or lower. The record high temperature is 106 &deg;F, which was recorded in 1936. The record low temperature is -27 &deg;F, which happened in 1981.</p><br>
<p>Northern Indiana lakes freeze during the winter, usually for periods between November 15 and March 15. In a study of Lake James conducted during the 1940s, Lake James was covered by ice from December 15, 1947, to March 21, 1948. The ice reached a maximum thickness of 16 in at that time. During the study&#39;s previous two winters, ice reached a maximum thickness of 8 and. --&gt</p><br>
<h2>Plants and animals</h2><br>
<h3>Around the lake</h3><br>
<p>Lake James and the surrounding lakes are the home for a variety of birds. Common birds such as ducks, geese, gulls, and purple martins can be found when the lake is not frozen. Migrating birds such as loons, grebes, and double-crested cormorants can also be observed, typically during autumn. Hawks and red-headed woodpeckers can be seen year around, as can barred and great horned owls. Several bald eagles were sighted on the lake in 2006. Other birds that can be observed, especially around Pokagon State Park, include brown creepers, veeries, several types of warblers, bluebirds, Carolina wrens, Baltimore orioles, and pileated woodpeckers.</p><br>
<h3>In the lake</h3><br>
<p>Lake James has over 20 types of aquatic plants. In a survey conducted by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources during 2005, 23 types of submersed plants were found—plus two types of floating plants. The type of plant found is generally dependent upon the water depth. Most plants are found at depths of 4.5 ft to 12 ft. At depths of 1.5 ft to 4.5 ft, the dominant vegetation is chara, a plant-like type of algae. Beyond depths of 4.5 ft but less than 7 ft, Illinois pondweed, Vallisneria, and Sago pondweed tend to be the dominant plants. Variable watermilfoil are the plants typically found at depths of 7 ft to 15 ft. Beyond 15 ft, chara is usually the only vegetation, and it has been found growing as deep as 36.5 ft. Most plants found in the lake are native species that are useful for providing food and habitat for fish and waterfowl.</p><br>
<h2>Recreation</h2><br>
<p>In addition to being the home of Pokagon State Park and the Lake James Christian Assembly, Lake James is known for boating and fishing. A sandbar in the First Basin, not far from the Potawatomi Inn, has been a popular boat gathering place. In a survey conducted in 2005, over 60 percent of the lake&#39;s residents who participated in the survey listed fishing, fast boating, and water skiing as their preferred activities. Boating has become so popular that some residents have become concerned about overcrowding during the summer weekends. During August 2005 the number of boats docked on the lake totaled about 2,000. Ski boats, cabin cruisers, deck boats, and fishing boats accounted for 36 percent of the total. Pontoon boats accounted for 22 percent of the total, and personal water crafts were another 17 percent. The remaining watercraft were sailboats, canoes, kayaks, row boats and any boats that did not fit in a category.</p><br>
<p>Nearly all of the lake&#39;s shoreline, with the exception of Pokagon State Park, has been developed. Many residents have owned property on the lake for over 20 years. Lake front properties are available for purchase, with a wide variety of styles and prices—including homes valued above $1 million. Residents and visitors can participate in weekly sailboat races sponsored by the Lake James Yacht Club.</p><br>
<p>The lake is also the site of special events. The 4th of July is celebrated with a boat parade followed by fireworks. Each September, the Seaplane Pilots Association sponsors a Seaplane Splash-In in the lower basin not far from the Potawatomi Inn.</p><br>
<p>Beckers Block is a group of historic commercial buildings in Huntsville, Alabama. The two-story, five-bay structure was built in 1925. Each bay is separated by piers that project above the roofline. The center of each bay is raised above the parapet, creating a crenelated appearance. Below the parapet, a rectangular panel is formed from header courses. Cream-colored square stones decorate the entire façade.</p><br>
<p>The two southern bays were built for a J. C. Penney store, and feature display windows on either side of a recessed entryway. A panel of glass block stretches above the entryway. The northern three bays have single-pane windows flush with the façade with recessed doors. A row of four-by-two paned windows, mostly in pairs and once in a triplet, stretch above the three bays.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The Emporium was the river port of the ancient Rome, that rose approximately between the Aventine Hill and the Rione Testaccio .</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Since the beginning of the 2nd century BC, the impetuous economic and demographic development had made the former river port in the Forum Boarium totally inadequate: moreover, it could not be enlarged due to its vicinity to the hills. Therefore in 193 BC the censors Lucius Aemilius Lepidus and Lucius Aemilius Paulus established to face the problem by building a new port within a free area on the border of the town, south of the Aventine Hill. On that occasion the Porticus Aemilia was also erected.</p><br>
<p>In 174 BC the Emporium was paved with stones and divided with walls and ladders descending to the Tiber. Here there was the docking place of the wares and raw materials (especially marbles, wheat, wine, oil); they reached the harbor of Ostia by sea and went up the river on barges pulled by buffaloes (towpath). During the centuries, the fragments of the amphorae (then used as containers for the handling of liquid foods), were clumped until they created the still-existing hill of shards: the ancient name of Mons Testaceum ("Hill of Shards") derived from it. The number of stacked-up amphorae is esteemed to be about 25 millions.</p><br>
<p>During the reign of Trajan, new opus mixtum structures were erected, while the plain of Testaccio was gradually filled with warehouses, especially for foodstuffs, with a huge hike when free distributions of wheat and other foodstuffs to citizens began to take place, starting from the age of Tiberius and Gaius Gracchus (Horrea Sempronia, Galbana, Lolliana, Seiana, Aniciana).</p><br>
<p>The port was first excavated in 1868-1870, during the damming works, and then in 1952. Now there are few visible stretches, bricked in the wall of Lungotevere Testaccio: a quay 500 m long and 90 m deep, with steps and ramps toward the river, with bulging travertine blocks having holes for ships mooring, very similar - though not so well preserved - to the one in the Roman port of Aquileia.</p><br>
<p>During the building of modern Testaccio quarter, severals remains of warehouses have come to light: among them, the tomb of the consul Servius Sulpicius Galba, one of the most ancient known individual sepulchres.</p><br>

<p>The Lake Mondonac  is located in Zec Fremont, in Matawinie, near the boundary of the region Lanaudière and Mauricie, in Quebec, in Canada.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Mondonac lake is located at 10 km (direct line), northeast of Kempt Lake (Matawinie) and at 56 km north of Taureau Reservoir. The mouth of Lake Mondonac is located 85 km west of La Tuque. With a length of 15 km and a maximum width of 6 km (due to a large bay on northwest side), Mondonac lake has an area of more than 23 km². It is located in the southwest part of the township of Sincennes. Mondonac lake whose depth reaches 100 m, collects water from several surrounding lakes, including Lake Salone, its neighbor to the south-east and the mouth of which is 10.5 km from the southern part of Lake Mondonac. It receives waters of ten highest lakes including: Crane, Miror, Saracen, Rosette, Comfort, Cormorant and Kasesekatikwakawarik.</p><br>
<p>The mouth of Lake Mondonac is located at the bottom of a long bay at northeast. The river Mondonac that forms the outlet of the lake, flows north, collecting the waters of Lake Sincennes, then flows into the Châteauvert Lake (La Tuque). In May 2010, a large forest fire occurred around Lake Mondonac.</p><br>
<p>Dam Mondonac</p><br>
<p>Property of Hydro-Québec, the dam at the mouth of Lake Mondonac in Fremont Zec is considered high capacity. It is mostly used for wildlife. At a height of 3.2 m. and a dam height of 2.6 m., the dam was originally built in 1944 and modified in 1998. It was built with wooden boxes filled with stones, and foundations are based on the rock. The catchment area is 328 km². Retained its capacity is 60,138,000 m³. The area of the reservoir is 2313 ha. The length of the structure is 30 m.</p><br>
<h2>Toponymy</h2><br>
<p>This name Mondonac originates from an Algonquin word meaning "region of souls or spirits".</p><br>
<p>The specific Mondonac - or graphical variant "Mondonak" - appears on various documents at least since the second half of the nineteenth century. The surveyors report L.-A.-O. Arcand and E.B. Temple, in 1869, indicate the name "River Mondenak". While the regional surveyor Arcand, in 1870, wrote "Lake Mondonac". This lake is also called "Lake Ktsi Môdonagok", "great Mondonakw" in Abenaki and Mantonoko lake marine monsters in Atikamekw. According to Indian mythology, several imaginary creatures have inhabited this lake which is located entirely in forest regions.</p><br>
<p>The name "Lake Mondonac" was recorded December 5, 1968 at the Bank of place names in Commission de toponymie du Québec (Geographical Names Board of Québec).</p><br>
<p>The Taurus Reservoir is a 95 km&sup2; reservoir in Matawinie, in the administrative region of Lanaudière, Québec, Canada. It is in the Saint Lawrence River drainage basin and is on the Matawin River.</p><br>
<h2>Toponymy</h2><br>
<p>The reservoir is named after a river rapid that was flooded in 1931 by the damming of Matawin River by Shawinigan Water and Power. The noise of the latter was reminiscent of the bellowing of a bull.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>This large lake has 239.4 km of banks including many sandy beaches, including the beach of Pointe-fine located at the end of a peninsula that just into the centre of the lake. Sandy shores of "Baie du milieu" (bay of the Middle), and "des Embranchements" and "du Poste" attract wilderness camping and swimming fans.</p><br>
<p>The Matawin River flows into the "Taureau reservoir" on the west side, and resumed its course at the outlet of the lake (eastern side) controlled by the "Matawin dam", erected at the end of the "Bay of the dam" at an altitude of 356.58 m.</p><br>
<p>Taureau reservoir has 45 islands; the most important are:</p><br>
<p>Western Lake: "îles jaune" (Yellow Island), "aux grands vents" (high winds), "aux Sables", "de la chauche" and Barineau,</p><br>
<p>Central part: Islands France, "flottantes" (floating), "Grande Île Jumelle" (Big Island Twin), "Îles jumelles" (Twin Islands), "du village" and West Island,</p><br>
<p>East part: Lacroix Island (the largest in area) and the island of grey pine.</p><br>
<p>Taureau Reservoir has three main parts (each has a north-south orientation) connected by a narrow passage. Each part has several large bays:</p><br>
<p>Western Lake: "baies du Poste" (berries of the Post), "du Milieu" (Middle) and Village,</p><br>
<p>Central part: "baies du canot rouge" (berries red canoe), "de ROE" and "Ignace",</p><br>
<p>Part is: "baies du Barrage" (bay of the Dam) and "de la Bouteille" (Bottle).</p><br>
<p>The James H. Bibb House is a historic residence in Madison, Alabama. Bibb was an early landholder in Madison, one of the main proponents of its incorporation in 1869, and distant relative of Alabama&#39;s first two governors, William Wyatt Bibb and Thomas Bibb. In 1866, Bibb purchased 300 acres  west of the Memphis and Charleston Railroad depot, farming corn and cotton himself on half of it and renting out the other half. He also owned a mercantile business and a steam-powered grist mill in the small town.</p><br>
<p>Bibb&#39;s house was built in 1867 in a simple Greek Revival style; this is in contrast to most contemporary houses in Madison, which were built in more current Victorian styles. The house is 50 feet (15 m) square with a pyramidal hip roof and is covered with poplar clapboards. A partial-hip roof porch, supported by six square columns, stretches across the entire front of the house. The main entrance is flanked by single-pane sidelights and topped with a twin-pane transom. The interior is laid out with a central hall and three rooms on either side. A shed roofed porch and a garage have been added to the rear of the house, and an addition containing a bedroom, bathroom, and porch was added to the north side.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>Sweet Falls  is a waterfall in Shillong. It lies about 5 km from Happy Valley and is about 96 m in height. It is often termed as the "most beautiful" yet "most dangerous" waterfall in Shillong.</p><br>
<p>The destination is accessible via road. However, tourists are prohibited to go close to the waterfall due the poor route and treacherous nature of the fall.</p><br>
<p>The adjacent areas are filled with pine tress. Some of the plant species include eupatorium, lantana, rubus, fern, osmundastrum cinnamomeum and phegopteris.</p><br>
<h2>Deaths</h2><br>
<p>It is believed by the local people that this fall is haunted. If people go in odd number, they return in even number. The waterfall has also been the subject of numerous suicides and is infamous for many deaths.</p><br>
<p>In July 2001 Mr. Jangkholen Haokip of Mata Lambulane, Churachandpur, Manipur and Ms. Boicy of Molnom, Churachandpur, Manipur died drowning.</p><br>
<p>On March 17, 2013, Karttik Mishra, a 23-year-old student from the Indian Institute of Management died at the falls when he was trekking along with 18 other boys. Sources indicated that the boy slipped and fell into the fall when he was supposedly taking photographs.</p><br>
<p>On September 2, 2013 two students from Manipur; Khual Ngaihte and Michael Ngaihte, hailing from Lamka, Churachandpur district died on the falls.</p><br>
<p>The House at 1011 S. Madison Ave. is a historic house located at 1011 South Madison Avenue in Pasadena, California. Architect Sylvanus B. Marston of Marston, Van Pelt & Maybury designed the Prairie School style house, which was built in 1911. The two-story house has a square box plan inspired by a 1907 Frank Lloyd Wright design called "A Fireproof House for $50,000". The house has a horizontal emphasis characteristic of the Prairie School and a low hipped roof. A side porch is located on the north side of the house, which originally also had a front porch that has since been enclosed. Rows of casement windows on the front of each story feature a decorative pattern with three vertical panes and a transom.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 6, 1998.</p><br>
<p>The Milford Town House and Library Annex, now just the Milford Town Hall, is a historic municipal building occupying a prominent position facing the central oval in Milford, New Hampshire. The town house portion, which presents the main facade to the oval, was built in 1869, and is a two-story structure built of brick with granite trim. It was designed by Bryant & Rogers of Boston. The Italianate structure has a belltower in which is a Paul Revere bell cast in 1802, which was hung in Milford&#39;s first town hall. The library annex was added to the rear of the building  in 1891, extending the south facade of the building from nine to twelve bays. Lowell architect Frederick W. Stickney built it using a different type of brick, but stylistic elements tie it to the original structure.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>Nea Figaleia  is an historical town in Ilia, that since the 2011 local government reform is a part of the municipality of Zacharo, Elis, Peloponnese, Greece. The town was the seat of Figalia&#39;s Municipality until 2011 . Its average altitude is 480 meters above sea level. It has many churches, among which the predominantly old stone church St. Nicholas. The folklore museum and the community clinic are located along the main road. The main landscape is formed of olive trees and cypresses with a panoramic view towards the Ionian Sea.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Zourtsas settlement probably dates back to the 12th century A.D. Important document for the Zourtsas history is the golden seal of Mystras, signed in 1321 by Andronikos II Palaiologos. Zourtsa undertaking a significant role during the Independence War of 1821. It was mentioned by the Turkish traveler Evliya Çelebi who visited the area between 1668 and 1671. He described it as a famous resort, full of springs, vineyards, gardens and 150 stone-built houses.</p><br>
<p>The town was renamed Kato Figalia in 1927, and Nea Figaleia in 1976.</p><br>
<h2>Population</h2><br>
<p>The Rice House is a historic house at 501 NW "A" Street in Bentonville, Arkansas. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure with elaborate Eastlake  styling. Characteristics of the style include jigsaw-cut bracketing, spindled balustrades, and molded panels under the windows. At the time of its construction in 1890, it was considered one of Bentonville&#39;s grandest houses. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>Once the dream of Charles A. Rice, this home became a reality in 1891 when it was erected. Built to be the family home, Rice spared no expense to make this home a work of art. The floor plan is that of "dog trot" design, being that doors and windows were positioned directly across from each other on all sides of the house. This allowed for natural air flow to cool house in the hot Arkansas summers. Transoms were placed above each interior door, as found in larger buildings of the time, to allow hot air to rise and be moved through rooms and up to second floor, where the hot air would be sucked out in a natural ventilation process. Ornate hand carved wood art, extensive floor, door and window moldings, as well as impressive plaster work was incorporated into the design. Soon into the building process, Rice scaled down the size of the home from its original blue print. This was done to save on costs and provide for the impressive living areas.</p><br>
<p>105 South Washington Street in Huntsville, Alabama, is a historic commercial building. It was built in 1931, after the previous building on the site had burned in 1925. The street level of the two-story brick building has three single-pane windows on either side of a recessed entry. A row of similar windows runs above the street level, separated by a row of rectangular panels. Above the storefront level sits a panel of soldier course bricks, with decorative terra cotta floral blocks on the corners. The same blocks are used on the top corners of the surrounds for five windows above. The frieze is terra cotta, with a series of narrow flutes above a decorative bed-mould chain. The cornice features a geometric X-pattern with small dentils on each block. The terra cotta detailing exhibits Art Deco influence, popular at the time the building was constructed. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>Brothers George L. and William Hopkinson Cox began construction of the Richardsonian Romanesque Cox Building at Third and Market Streets in Maysville, Kentucky in 1886 and completed construction in 1887. The project also included the construction of seven contiguous brick homes extending south along the east side of Market Street to Fourth Street.</p><br>
<p>The building was designed to accommodate three large storefronts on the ground floor with associated second-story storerooms for each. The remainder of the second floor was originally designed as upscale professional office space for up to nine tenants. In practice, the nine offices were often joined into larger office suites, and were later converted into apartments. The upper three stories of the Cox Building were designed explicitly for use as a Masonic Temple, specifically for the York Rite "Knights Templar".</p><br>
<p>The City of Maysville purchased the building in 2006 for $200,000 as a restoration project. The roof, fourth and fifth floors were destroyed by fire on November 9, 2010. Restoration work continued and the completed work was dedicated at 11:00 am on September 7, 2012.</p><br>
