<p>The Gen. John Stark House is a historic house museum at 2000 Elm Street in Manchester, New Hampshire. The house, a single-story Cape style farmhouse, was built in 1736 by Archibald Stark. Stark&#39;s son John, a hero of the American Revolutionary War, lived in this house from 1736 to 1765; it is where he brought his new bride Molly, and where two of their children were born. Originally located on Canal Street, the house remained in the Stark family until 1821. It was acquired by the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company in 1835, and used for worker housing. In 1937 the company donated the building to the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, which restored the property and adapted it for use as a meeting site. It was moved to its present site, which is also on the original 800 acre Stark farm, in 1968.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<p>The Mechanicsville Historic District encompasses a small and cohesive working-class neighborhood west of downtown Danville, Virginia. The district is bounded by Upper Street on the northwest; North Floyd Street on the northeast; High Street on the southeast; and North Ridge Street on the southwest. This area was developed beginning roughly in 1880 as a residential district catering to workers in the nearby tobacco-processing facilities. The houses in the district are in a blend of styles, but are characterized by similar lot sizes and setbacks. The district includes two churches, and a building that originally served as a tobacco prizery . The neighborhood was a center of civil rights activism during the 1960s, playing host to Martin Luther King, Jr. It was once somewhat larger; areas to the west and north were razed during urban redevelopment efforts.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<p>Boğsak  is a Mediterranean islet in Mersin Province, Turkey.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The 7 hectare islet is located 200 m off shore from the main land facing a small settlement with the same name. Administratively it is a part of İmamuşağı village of Silifke district which is a part of Mersin Province. It is at 36&deg;16&prime;02&Prime;N latitude, 33&deg;49&prime;36&Prime;E longitude. The distance from the main land to Silifke is 17 km and to Mersin is 100 km.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Although there is no settlement on the islet, it was inhabited in the late antiquity. Stadiasmus Maris Magni of the second half of the 3rd century mentions the λιμὴν Νησούλιον (harbor, of the small island) According to an inscription of the 6th century the name of the settlement on the islet was as Άστερήα and it was probably a wealthy village, ruins of which are partially preserved.</p><br>
<h2>Boğsak Bay</h2><br>
<p>Boğsak bay is a bay on Mediterranean coast facing east (i.e., Baoğsak ıslet) There are some summer houses and hotels on the bay. In the bay and around the island the popular sports activity is diving</p><br>
<p>The Temple Town Hall, also known as the Union Hall and the Miller Grange Hall, is a historic municipal building in the center of Temple, New Hampshire. The white clapoarded wood frame structure was built in 1842 as a church. In 1875, the building was sold to the local grange chapter, which enlarged the building in 1880s, adding 20 ft to its length. This additional space provided interior space for a stage, which was used for grange rituals and dramatic presentations. The town purchased the building from the grange in 1889, although it continued to be used by the grange in addition to serving as a place for town functions. It was used by the town as a meeting space until 1990, and continues to be used for social functions.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<p>The National Bank building in Belgrade  is a monument of great importance, located in Belgrade, Serbia, at 12 King Petar St.</p><br>
<h2>The establishment of the National Bank</h2><br>
<p>The establishment of the Privileged National Bank Kingdom of Serbia was a long process that has derived from the development of the economy, currency and other financial institutions, as well as the needs of economic and political emancipation of the Kingdom of Serbia. The formal act of the beginning operations of the Bank comes after the adoption of the Law on the National Bank, 12 December 1882, which comes into force confirmation by king Milan Obrenovic on 6 January 1883. Under this law, the Bank has established itself as a privileged institution (for the next 25 years in the form of a joint stock company), with an initial capital of 20 million dinara, and envisages that its activities are conducted under the control of the state. Officially, the Bank began operations on 1 June 1884. On that date, the bank leased space taken in Knez Mihajlo no. 38 (now No. 50), at the house of Hristina Kumanudi.</p><br>
<h2>Construction of the building</h2><br>
<p>Given that the Bank&#39;s work demanded more space than that provided temporary solution, for the construction of a new building in 1886 was purchased land on the corner of Dubrovacka and Prince Lazar street.</p><br>
<p>In 1887, a draft plan for new building was Adopted, whose authors were two architects employed in the Ministry of Construction. However, the Board of Directors decides to assign project development to Konstantin Jovanovic, then already affirmed architect, and son of a lithographer Anastas Jovanovc. Bank projects was also his first job in Belgrade. Construction of the building were entrusted to contractors Jirasek and Kraus from Segedin. Works on bank lasted from 1889 to 1990, and were officially finished 15 March 1890. How much importance construction of the building had, illustrated by the fact that Constantine A. Jovanovic in 1890 was awarded by the Order of St. Sava III order. In the report the Bank for 1890 says follows "...Bank has a house, on which she can be proud of as well as our capital, where she serves on ornament". large credit goes to architect Kosta Jovanovic who developed the plans and under whose supervision who developed the plans, and under whose supervision the building was constructed.</p><br>
<p>After World War I, the Privileged National Bank of the Kingdom of Serbia became the National Bank of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. Because of functional needs, in the period from 1922–25, the building of the Bank become an extended, taking up on that way entire surface of the urban block, and taking a shape of an irregular pentagonal base. As the author of the extension project was selected again Konstantin Jovanovic, who was adhering to stylistic principles applied in the older part of the building, successfully completed this task. In such a closed form of block with internal atrium courtyard, administrative palace of the Bank is preserved to date. While without urban dominant position, which allows a full consideration of the building, the Palace of the Bank is realized in a harmonious way, and with full of monumental size and representativeness. Stylistic and formal basis, which served as a model of Jovanovic, as his role model lies in the architecture of palaces of late-Renaissance palace of the sixteenth-century in Italy. It also stands out and apparent influence of Jovanovic professor and prominent Viennese architect Gottfried Semper.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>In terms of style and form, the design drew on the late Renaissance 16th-century Italian palazzo, and the visible influence of Jovanović’s teacher, the distinguished Viennese architect Gottfried Semper. Jovanović’s immediate models were Palazzo Farnese in Rome, designed by Antonio da Sangallo the Younger and Michelangelo (1513, and 1534–46), and Semper’s mid-19th-century Oppenheim Palace in Dresden.</p><br>
<p>The Bank building best embodies a characteristic feature of Konstantin Jovanović’s concept of architectural design: variation on a Renaissance façade theme combined with an eclectic approach obvious in the use of elements of Baroque architectural decoration. The remarkable articulation of this concept makes the National Bank Jovanović’s most important work and one of the most important works of academism in Serbian architecture.</p><br>
<h3>Exterior design</h3><br>
<p>The elevations show a tripartite horizontal division typical of academism. The zones are clearly defined by the contrast between the rusticated lower and calmer upper zones, separated by a prominent stringcourse. The heavy and monolithic rustication of the basement and ground-floor zone, tempered by the regular rhythm of arch-headed windows, is a clear reference to the Florentine 15th-century palazzo. The monotony of the ground floor is broken by formal entrances facing Kralja Petra and Cara Lazara streets. The upper zones display less restraint. The strict hierarchy of the first-floor composition pattern is given a more dynamic edge by alternating differently topped windows and accentuating the imposing windows above the entrances. The second-floor zone, simplified by a row of less ornate window openings, is surmounted by a protruding cornice and a balustraded parapet.</p><br>
<h3>Interior design</h3><br>
<p>The artistically rich design of interior spaces includes a large number of functional and decorative arts and crafts objects, which form an integral part of the architecture of the building. Particular emphasis was placed on the design of functional nodes: the vestibule in the earlier part of the building and the counter hall in the later one. Being accessible to the public, these spaces were elaborately decorated in the neo-Renaissance style, with a composition pattern based on contrasts between full and empty surfaces, and calm monochrome and vibrant polychrome details, on the generous use of floral ornamentation, and on the alternation of different materials.</p><br>
<p>The general impression of luxury and monumentality of the interior is reinforced by an ensemble of decorative wall painting, one of the best preserved and most prestigious created in the early 20th century. It followed European trends of the time and was conceived as fully subordinate to architecture. This type of decorative painting is understandably devoid of the painter’s personal touch and probably follows a pattern of central-European origin. The painted decoration of the part of the building constructed in 1925 shows the same pattern, iconography and style as the older part. Its iconography displays a compilation of motifs based on free quotation from various mythologies and artistic traditions. The symbolism of the decoration, through the motifs of cornucopias, sphinxes, gryphons and, the central one, Mercury, clearly refers to the function of the building, conveying the idea of success, affluence and prosperity. To be singled out in terms of artistic merit is the allegorical bust of Serbia, a work of the sculptor Djordje Jovanović originally intended for the monument to the heroes of the Battle of Kosovo in Kruševac. Set up in the vestibule of the older part of the building, the bust underscores the national character of the establishment. Until the Second World War the interior was adorned with the portraits of all previous governors of the National Bank, oils on canvass painted by Uroš Predić.</p><br>
<p>The National Bank building is representative both of contemporary European trends in the style of academism, and of the work of Konstantin Jovanović, Serbia’s best connoisseur of academic architecture. The architect’s distinctive interpretation and the institutional importance of the National Bank make this building a remarkable testament to the social aspirations and economic and architectural achievement of the Kingdom of Serbia and the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. It was designated a heritage property of outstanding significance in 1979.</p><br>
<p>The Edgewood School of Domestic Arts, now known just as "Edgewood," is a historic building in Iowa Falls, Iowa, United States. Originally a school for girls and women, it now houses apartments upstairs and space for meetings and family gatherings downstairs.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>School of Domestic Arts</h3><br>
<p>Edgewood was established as a School of Domestic Arts in 1886 by Mrs. Eva Simplot. The 2½-story, frame structure built on a rock-faced stone foundation was completed in 1910. From 1911 - 1935 nine hundred thirty five women and girls from the area attended classes here. Subjects included sewing, cooking, and home management.</p><br>
<p>The lots on which Edgewood stands were owned by Mr. and Mrs. Simplot and were donated free of encumbrance. Through Mrs. Simplots efforts and dedication and with the help of a group of local women, the school was built. Community support was evidenced by contributions of money, furnishings, and labor. Dinners, suppers, and ice cream socials were held. Magazine subscriptions were sold, bricks were sold at a cost of one cent each. Windows were purchased at a cost of $12.50 -- the donors name was etched in the upper leaded glass pane.</p><br>
<p>After the school opened, expenses were met from tuition, board and room paid by the students and continuing donations from concerned people. Any deficit at the end of the month was paid by Mrs. Simplot from her own personal account.</p><br>
<p>In 1934, Domestic Science was added to the curriculum of the Iowa Falls schools, and it became evident that the "Sewing School" was no longer needed. Mrs. Simplot made plans for the future use of the building. She died in 1935. Her will left all the property now known as Edgewood to the women and girls of the Iowa Falls community, to be used for charitable, educational, and cultural activities. The building was transformed into a community center.</p><br>
<h3>Community Center</h3><br>
<p>Articles of Incorporation were drawn up and adopted in 1938. The articles were amended in 1961 and again in 1978. The articles provide that a board of directors be elected to care for and supervise the use of the building. These directors are elected at an annual meeting held in July of each year. Currently there are 12 members on the board</p><br>
<p>Through the years improvements have been made as funds became available. The second floor was turned into apartments, and bathrooms were installed. The building was rewired, and the kitchen was modernized. A parking lot, walks, and landscaping were made possible with the sale of some of the lots and the support of the city.</p><br>
<p>More recently, the attic was insulated, and the windows were replaced and reinforced. The original upper panes with donors&#39; names were kept. The social hall and kitchen were air-conditioned, and window air conditioning units were put into each apartment.</p><br>
<p>Current income comes from the rental of the five apartments on the second floor and the public use of the social hall and kitchen at stated rates. The basement is leased free of rent to the Scouts of Iowa Falls. Upkeep and utilities of that area are paid by them.</p><br>
<p>As when Mrs. Simplot lived, income does not always meet expenses. Public support continues to be necessary. The Community Chest and interested citizens annually contribute money and labor. For ten years, the Board Members sponsored an annual ice cream social during the July 4th celebrations, with all profits going to Edgewood. The board appreciates all gifts and support as they work to keep the building and premises in a state of good repair and an asset to the community.</p><br>
<p>Edgewood was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>The Bridges Almshouses in Keynsham within the English county of Somerset were built around 1685. They have been designated as a Grade II listed building.</p><br>
<p>The Almshouses were built by Sir Thomas Bridges and his wife Lady Anna Bridges (née Rodney) to provide accommodation for six widows and endowed a school for the town. This may have initially been for the widows of men killed in the Monmouth Rebellion.</p><br>
<p>The terrace is made of three pairs of two-storey houses. They are constructed of limestone with moulded stone mullions over the two and three light windows, surmounted by pantile roof. On the front of the building are cartouches with the arms of Bridges and his wife.</p><br>
<p>The Bristol Road in front of the almshouse has been built over the original gardens and the level of the road has been raised so that the doors and footpath are below the level of the carriageway.</p><br>
<p>Millbank, also known as Spout Spring and Hillwood, is a historic house at 3100 Berryville Pike, in Frederick County, Virginia east of the city of Winchester. The two story brick mansion was built c. 1850 by Isaac and Daniel T. Wood. It is one of the largest Greek Revival houses in the county, standing on a hill overlooking Berryville Pike and Opequon Creek, which flows east of the property. The house  has a typical I-house plan, with two entrances, one facing the highway and one the creek. Both were originally sheltered by Doric-columned porches, but the side entry&#39;s porch has been removed by vandals. The house was previously owned by the Winchester-Frederick Service Authority, who took the property in 1984 by eminent domain to construct the adjacent sewage treatment plant. It is now owned by The Fort Collier Civil War Center, Inc.  This nonprofit organization owns historic Fort Collier, another Third Battle of Winchester site.</p><br>
<p>The house has a documented association with the American Civil War. The nearby crossing of Opequon Creek was at that time a ford, and it was in this area that the Third Battle of Winchester raged. Millbank is documented as having been the site of a Union Army field hospital during the battle.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<p>The Captain Thomas C. Harris House  is a two-story Italianate-style home located at 101 East Burton street in Kirksville, Missouri. A modified "T-plan" Victorian home constructed in 1875, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1973.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Captain Thomas C. Harris was an officer in the Union Army during the American Civil War. A native of New York, he settled in Kirksville shortly after the conclusion of the war, and was engaged in a succession of woolen mills in the town and vicinity. In 1875 Harris began construction of a large two-story brick home on what was then the northern edge of Kirksville. There is some doubt as to whether Harris ever lived in the home, and for how long, as it was sold in 1879 to another Civil War veteran, Doctor John Burton. Burton served with the Sixth Indiana Cavalry and as President of the United States Pension Board at the war&#39;s end before establishing a medical practice in Kirksville in 1867.</p><br>
<p>The home took on its secondary moniker of "The Parrish Place" in 1895 when it was purchased by Doctor A. Washington Parrish. Following Parrish&#39;s death in 1928, the home passed to his son, Doctor Bert Parrish, also a physician and surgeon in the community. Murdock had lived on the first floor of the home since 1939.</p><br>
<p>A fire in 1958 destroyed the summer kitchen, wood shed and coal storage room but was extinguished before causing any significant damage to the main house. Another major change to the original design came in 1965 when, due to fears of a weakening roof, the distinctive cupola was removed. However the cupola was restored to its position several years later.</p><br>
<p>Upon Murdocks death the Harris-Parrish home went to her daughter Mary Childers Sloan, who resided there until moving to Nebraska in the 1980s. The home was mostly vacant from the early 1980s until Sloans death in April, 2003. She deeded the home and property to the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The present owner, Daryl Shafer, purchased the Harris-Parrish home from the Trust in 2007.</p><br>
<p>After extensive renovations under the National Historic Trusts ownership and later Shafers, the home once again appears very much as it would have when first constructed, save for modern electrical, heating and cooling systems, and plumbing. One of the most significant changes involved removing a two-tone exterior paint of cream with dark brown accents and returning the structure to its original red brick. The post-fire additions of a garage and the west wing containing the family room were removed and replaced with a porch and landscaping. In addition to serving as a private residence the home has also served as a popular spot for weddings, open houses, and community gatherings. One such gathering in 2012 honored the sesquicentennial of the Battle of Kirksville.</p><br>
<p>The Cavalier Hotel is a historic hotel building at 4201 Atlantic Avenue in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The seven-story Y-shaped building was designed by Neff and Thompson and completed in 1927. It has been a presence on Virginia Beach&#39;s oceanfront ever since, and was at the time of its construction one of the fanciest hotels in the state. Most of its hotel rooms featured views of the ocean, and all had private bathrooms. The hotel also featured dining facilities and opportunities for shopping, as well as amenities such as swimming pools that are now common features of modern hotels.</p><br>
<p>The hotel was built during the period of prosperity known as the Roaring Twenties, and was a major element of the development of Virginia Beach as a resort area. The hotel was operated successfully until 1942, when it was commandeered by the United States Navy as a training center during World War II. It was returned to its owners in 1945, but the lost years hurt the business. The property was used as a private club for a time in the 1950s and 1960s, and has eventually reopened as a hotel.</p><br>
<p>The hotel was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>

<p>Wrights Bridge is a historic covered bridge in Newport, New Hampshire. Originally built in 1906 to carry the Boston and Maine Railroad across the Sugar River, it now carries the multi-use Sugar River Trail, which was built on the abandoned right-of-way. The bridge is located about 1,200 ft west of the trails intersection with Chandler Mill Road in western Newport. The bridge is a single-span Town double-lattice truss structure which has been reinforced by laminated arches. The bridge spans 122 ft, with 6 ft of overhang at each end, and rests on granite abutments. It is named for S. K. Wright, who sold this portion of the railroad right-of-way in 1871.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<p>Dudsbury Camp  is one of a series of Iron Age earthworks in Dorset, starting from Hambledon Hill, and including Hod Hill, Spetisbury Rings, Buzbury Rings, Badbury Rings and Dudsbury Camp. The Iron Age port at Hengistbury Head forms a final Iron Age monument in this small chain of sites. The fort is located near the village of West Parley.</p><br>
<h2>Name</h2><br>
<p>Dudsbury takes its name from a man called Duds or Dudd, a 6th-century Saxon. Domesday records that "Azelin holds Dodsberie of Waleran. Godwin held it in King Edward&#39;s time and it was taxed for one hide. There is land to plough which is there, with four bordars, and seven acres of meadow and six of wood, pasture half a league long and five quarterns broad. It was and is worth 20s."</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Dudsbury is an Iron Age hillfort situated on the north bank of the River Stour. The defences enclose a semicircular area of about 3 hectares and consist of double ramparts and ditch on the west, north and east sides, with a steep slope to the river on the south side. Much of the outer rampart and ditch has been obliterated or severely damaged. The best preserved portion lies near the southwest corner where the inner rampart stands 1.5 metres above the interior and 4 metres above the bottom of the outer ditch. The outer rampart there rises over 5 metres above the bottom of the ditch. There are four entrances to the hillfort, but probably only the west entrance, and possibly the south entrance, are original.</p><br>
<p>Limited excavations were conducted by Heywood Sumner in 1921, but little was found except for some Iron Age pottery sherds on the northwest side.</p><br>
<h2>Later use</h2><br>
<p>The interior of the hillfort was used for agriculture for many years except for the northeast quadrant which has a house and garden.</p><br>
<p>In 1930, fourteen acres were secured as a camp site for the Bournemouth Division of the Girl Guides Association from its then owner, Lord Wimborne, who, in sympathy with the scheme, generously parted with the land for a nominal sum. This section is now the Dudsbury Guide Camp. The house and garden in the northeast quadrant is now occupied by the Warden of the Guide Camp.</p><br>
<p>Plains Mill is a historic mill complex at 14767 Plains Mill Road in rural Rockingham County, Virginia, near the town of Timberville. It consists of a mill building and office, which sit on about 1 acre of land that is part of a larger parcel. The mill building is a two story wood frame construction, built between 1847 and 1849, on the banks of the North Fork Shenandoah River, where a stream falls over the bank into the river, providing the mill&#39;s power. The building has been sheathed in metal siding, although its original weatherboard siding remains underneath. A set of grain bins were added to the south side of the building in 1923, and a two-story wing was added to the north after World War II. The mill was in continuous use from its construction until 1994, encapsulating the evolutionary history of mill development in that time.</p><br>
<p>The mill and a c. 1959 office building were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<p>The original Maggoty Gap was a wind gap in the Blue Ridge Mountains in the counties of Roanoke, Virginia and Franklin, Virginia. Over time, as roads were improved and relocated, the identified location of the gap moved with them. It is now mapped at a spot in Roanoke County.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>"Maggoty Gap" is now named at a location approximately 5 mi south of Roanoke, Virginia and 12 mi north-northwest of Rocky Mount, Virginia at an elevation of 1,125 ft.</p><br>
<p>The present identified location of Maggoty Gap (or Willow Branch Gap) on topographic maps is at 37.156°N 79.972°W, which is actually inside the Back Creek watershed, not at the ridge line. But State Road 677 does pass through it (under a railroad trestle) to the highway (US-220) leading to the true ridge line at "Murray Gap", which separates the Maggodee Creek watershed from the Back Creek watershed. This route connects Starkey, Virginia and Boone&#39;s Mill, Virginia. An alternate route is State Road 613 (Merriman Rd. & Naff Rd.) through the "Simmonds Gap".</p><br>
<p>There are also two unimproved ridge line gaps between Simmonds Gap and Murray Gap that lead south to Maggodee Creek. These are reached from Starkey, Virginia via Starlight Road (State Road 615) and Boones Chapel Road (State Road 614). One is at the end of Boones Chapel Road where a Jeep trail crosses the Franklin County line at a pipeline and descends to State Road 613 adjacent to the Maggodee Creek bridge. The other is at the end of Wild Turkey Road (branching southwest from Boone&#39;s Chapel Road) and passing just below and east of Milner Place, where it crosses the Franklin County line and descends to Maggodee Creek at the junction of State Road 852 (Guthrie Rd.) and State Road 613.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>"Maggoty Gap" describes a natural gateway of the Great Wagon Road (locally known as The Carolina Road) that made it possible for wagons and livestock traffic to pass through the Blue Ridge Mountains at Roanoke, Virginia near Maggoty Creek (now called Maggodee Creek). It carried enormous amounts of traffic in the late 18th century and much of the 19th century until a railroad was extended over the ridge in 1892. During the years from 1760 to 1776 it was said to be the heaviest traveled road in all of America.</p><br>
<p>Morgan Bryan (1671–1763) cut the path for the first wagon to cross the gap from Starkey, Virginia to Boones Mill, Virginia in 1746 (at age 78). He reported that he had to disassemble his wagon and carry it piecemeal up the last slope. (It reportedly took three months for him and his sons to travel a distance of about 80 miles from Roanoke to their destination at the "Shallow Ford" of the Yadkin River in the vicinity of Winston-Salem, North Carolina.) In 1753, the original 15 Moravians used Bryans road to get a wagon to their Wachovia Tract located at present-day Winston-Salem, but took a wrong turn and missed Maggoty Gap; instead with great difficulty they traveled over nearby Windy Gap and rejoined Bryans road at present-day Boones Mill.</p><br>
<p>In 1838, Claudius Crozet (1789–1864) surveyed the road for its improvement as the Pittsylvania, Franklin, and Botetourt Turnpike, still made of dirt but with grades generally to be less than 4 percent and the carriageway to be a minimum of 18 feet wide (right-of-way to be a total of 40 feet wide). In his field notes, he had two sketches showing "Maggoty Creek" winding around in the vicinity of the present-day junction of State Roads 613 and 726 (Wades Gap Rd.), and also a road continuing up past the Jacob Naff homestead and John Arthur Road to the "top of the Blue Ridge" where he labeled the present-day Simmonds Gap as "Maggoty Gap". His sketch showed the road continuing due north down to the cultivated fields of Starkey. He also noted that a nearby path (now called Daybreak Lane) was not "the lowest and best gap". The turnpike was built immediately afterward, following the route over Simmonds Gap that eventually has become State Road 613 (Naff Road and Merriman Road). It suffered deterioration during the Civil War years, however, and the turnpike was abandoned by its owners around 1865.</p><br>
<p>Maggoty Gap lost its economic importance when the paved highway US-220 was completed directly from Roanoke through Murray Gap to Rocky Mount, Virginia around 1930.</p><br>
<p>The Halsey Grocery Warehouse is a historic warehouse in Huntsville, Alabama. It was built in 1923 as a second grocery warehouse for the W. L. Halsey company. The one-story building is simple in design, especially when compared with the company&#39;s earlier building across the street. The façade is of grey painted brick with a stepped parapet. The central double entrance door is flanked by single windows, each of which is topped with a brick arch. The pilasters and entablature surrounding the door are a later addition; originally, the door was topped only with a rowlock course of brick. The south side has a shed roof covering what was the loading area.</p><br>
<p>The area of Jefferson Street was known as "Grocery Row", due to the number of grocery, vegetable, and fruit warehouses on the block. The Halsey Grocery Warehouse is adjacent to 305 Jefferson Street, the Kelly Brothers and Rowe Building, and the Lombardo Building, and is across the street from the W. L. Halsey Warehouse. The buildings lie one block south of the Huntsville Depot.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The W. L. Halsey Warehouse is a historic warehouse in Huntsville, Alabama. The two-story brick structure was built in 1904 by the W. L. Halsey grocery company. The façade is divided into six bays by locally produced cast iron columns. Originally, the street level presented a fully glass storefront, but all bays but the doorway have been covered with wood panels. Windows on the second floor are one-over-one sashes topped with decorative brick arches; ten similar windows on the side of the building facing Meridian Street have been covered. The cornice has sunburst patterns alternating with triangular brackets. A panel over the center of the cornice reads "W.L. Halsey - 1904".</p><br>
<p>The area of Jefferson Street was known as "Grocery Row", due to the number of grocery, vegetable, and fruit warehouses on the block. The W. L. Halsey Warehouse is across the street from the Halsey Grocery Warehouse, which is adjacent to 305 Jefferson Street, the Kelly Brothers and Rowe Building, and the Lombardo Building. The buildings lie one block south of the Huntsville Depot.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>305 Jefferson Street is a historic warehouse in Huntsville, Alabama. It was built by grocery wholesaler W. L. Halsey circa 1925. Halsey operated the warehouse until 1957, when it was sold and rented to other tenants, at times including a beer distributor and a Salvation Army storage facility. It was subdivided into three units in the 1970s. The brick building is rectangular, with the narrow side facing the street. On the main façade, a double entry door is flanked by pairs of two-over-two sash windows. The south side of the building has two large openings for the warehouse doors; these have since been replaced with glass doors leading to the middle unit. Two of the three original sliding wood doors remain, and cover the glass entries in the middle unit. More two-over-two windows are distributed along the south wall. The rear originally had a warehouse door, now replaced by double glass doors, with a single two-over-two window on either side.</p><br>
<p>The area of Jefferson Street was known as "Grocery Row", due to the number of grocery, vegetable, and fruit warehouses on the block. 305 is adjacent to the Kelly Brothers and Rowe Building, which is next to the Lombardo Building, and is separated by a narrow alley from the Halsey Grocery Warehouse, and across the street from the W. L. Halsey Warehouse. The buildings lie one block south of the Huntsville Depot.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<p>The Kelly Brothers and Rowe Building is a historic warehouse in Huntsville, Alabama. Built in 1928, the façade is nearly free of ornamentation, except for a raised central parapet, with a plaque reading "Kelly Bros. & Rowe", and soldier course brick outlining the building and openings. Originally, the front featured two large warehouse doors, each with an entry door and a multi-pane window towards the center of the building. The warehouse doors have each been replaced with a twin-pane fixed window and transom, and the multi-pane windows have been replaced with a single pane and transom.</p><br>

<p>La Grotte des Fées is a cave located in Châtelperron, in the French department of Allier, in the Auvergne region.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The name refers to three caves, of which one is collapsed.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The caves are located in the commune of Châtelperron, about 1 km north of the town, on the left bank of the Graveron River at 5 or 6 m above stream level.</p><br>
<p>They belong to the Massif Central.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Two interlinked caves were first discovered around 1840, perhaps in 1848, during the construction of the railway which used to link the mines from Bert to Dompierre-sur-Besbre. The first delving research was led by Albert Poirrier, who carried out the construction of the railway line and who had a keen interest in prehistory. A few years later, between 1867 and 1872, Dr. Guillaume Bailleau undertook new research. A third cave (today collapsed), was discovered in 1867 by Bailleau. Several thousand flint blades and mammoth tusks of over 2 metres long were found. The last research, from 1951 to 1954 and in 1962, was led by Henri Delporte and revealed back blades of flint (named "couteaux de Châtelperron"), burins, drills and scrapers.</p><br>
<p>Most of the artifacts are today located at the British Museum and at the Philadelphia Museum. A few pieces are on display at the Moulins museum and at the Musée d&#39;Archéologie Nationale at Saint-Germain-en-Laye. The display at Châtelperron (Préhistorama, located in the former railway station) has only reproductions for the time being.</p><br>
<p>It is to the Grotte des Fées that the Châtelperronian era (35,000–30,000 B.C.) owes its name. Delving results have also sparked the debated theory of the hypothetical cohabitation between anatomically modern humans and Neanderthals.</p><br>
<p>The site was registered by the French Ministry of Culture as a monument historique in 1949.</p><br>
<p>Boykin Mill Complex, also known as Mill Tract Plantation, is a national historic district located near Camden, Kershaw County, South Carolina.

<p>Kendall Mill Historic District is a historic mill complex, mill village, and national historic district located at Camden, Kershaw County, South Carolina. The district encompasses 119 contributing buildings, 1 contributing sites, and 1 contributing structure in Camden. The district is centered on the Wateree Plant and associated structures that date from 1899 to 1923. The mill village to the south and southeast of the plant was built between 1900 and ca. 1925 and is a virtually intact reminder of the importance of the textile industry to South Carolina. The mill faces Kendall Park, a ten-acre landscaped park. On the eastern border of the park are the mill supervisors’ houses, built between 1900 and ca. 1925. The operatives house consist of one-story, 1 1/2-story, and a few two-story frame houses which date from 1900 to 1923. The district also includes Kendall Lake, north of the mill. The Dekalb Cotton Mill was organized in 1899. The Dekalb Mill building, designed by W.B. Smith Whaley in the Romanesque Revival style, was considered a model of textile architecture. The original plant building is a four-story rectangular brick building with a back stair tower and an imposing six-story front stair tower. The west addition to the plant, which is in keeping, architecturally, with the older buildings, was constructed in 1964. It is located in the City of Camden Historic District.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>Liberty Hill Historic District is a national historic district located at Liberty Hill, Kershaw County, South Carolina. The district encompasses 34 contributing buildings and 2 contributing structure in the small rural community of Liberty Hill. The district includes several imposing Greek Revival structures, Greek Revival cottages, and an 1880s vernacular Gothic Revival church. The later, turn of the 20th century residences are primarily one-story, simple clapboard cottages. The town’s history begins as early as ca. 1813 when Peter Garlick’s store  was a gathering place for surrounding farmers. Soon, impressive structures were built by planters in the area. Remaining from the 1830s are Cool Spring and the Joseph Cunningham House. The majority of the town’s antebellum buildings, however, were built ca. 1840-1850. During this period Liberty Hill was a very wealthy community. However, the final days of the American Civil War ended that prosperity. Nevertheless, the town did eventually reassert itself and appears to have changed very little since the beginning of the 20th century.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>The Grottes de Bétharram are a series of French caves located at the border of the Pyrénées-Atlantiques and Hautes-Pyrénées departments and of the Aquitaine and Midi-Pyrénées regions.</p><br>
<p>Located near Asson, Lestelle-Bétharram and Saint-Pé-de-Bigorre, they offer a threeway discovery: by foot, by boat and finally, by train, the key to similar cave formation. The entrance is located in Asson and the exit in Saint-Pé-de-Bigorre.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>A 2,8 km underground walk allows us to visit the three levels of river-dug galeries in the limestone mountain. The largest, upper part, formed by rooms openly accessible to each other, is namely interesting for its spongy ceilings, many of long range. The ancient riverbed that one then follows is a narrow and deep fissure where can be observed curious erosion phenomenons. The lower level corresponds to the present river level that one follows shortly by rowing boat. A 400 m long artificial tunnel brings us back to the surface. At the mountain&#39;s exit, the river joins the gave de Pau.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Discovered in 1810, it was one of the first caves open to the public. From 1880, English residents from Pau came to venture thanks to the help of miller Losbats de Lestelle-Bétharram.</p><br>
<p>After a few years of labour, Léon Ross, artist-painter and one of the Pyrenees first photographers, opened them to the public in 1903, before equipping them with electricity, while introducing this new convenience (light) to the locals.</p><br>
<p>The Lavedan , or occasionally vallées des Gaves, denotes a mountainous natural region of France, located at the heart of the Pyrénées, and forms a group of valleys upstream of Lourdes.</p><br>
<p>The Lavedan is historically part of the Gascony province and of the county of Bigorre. Today, it is situated in the Hautes-Pyrénées department in the Midi-Pyrénées region.</p><br>
<h2>Etymology</h2><br>
<p>The name "Lavedan" is documented under ancient forms: in pago Lavetanense (v. 860), Levitanensis vicecomes (v. 980), vicecomites Levitanicæ vallis (v. 1060), Ramundus de Levitania (1095), homines Baredgie et Levitani (v. 1110), A. de Laueda (1114), Aramon Garsie de Lavedan (1283), terram de Lavedaa (1285).</p><br>
<p>Il is made up of the Latin -etan, -itan suffix, typically present in names of iberian peoples. Le radical est Lau- / Leu-.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<h3>Topography</h3><br>
<p>The Lavedan is made up of 7 valleys, which in the past formed relatively self-sufficient and autonomous entities (they were named under vath, arribèra « valley » ou destrem « excentred valley ») :</p><br>
<h3>Hydrography</h3><br>
<p>The Lavedan corresponds to the Gave de Pau bassin, upstream from Lourdes namely with the valleys of the Gave de Gavarnie, the Gave de Cauterets and the Gave d&#39;Azun.</p><br>
<h3>Delimitation</h3><br>
<p>The Lavedan communicates with the vallée de Campan (vallée de lAdour) by the col du Tourmalet and with the vallée dOssau by the cirque du Litor (east of col dAubisque; the left bank of the vallée de lOuzom is part of Ossau while the right bank is part of the val d&#39;Azun). It is separated from the Aragon by the franco-spanish border, traversable by numerous ports.</p><br>
<h3>Main sites</h3><br>
<p>The main towns are Argelès-Gazost, Pierrefitte-Nestalas, Cauterets, Luz-Saint-Sauveur, Gèdre and Gavarnie.</p><br>
<p>The major mountain sites are :</p><br>
<p>Vignemale</p><br>
<p>Pic de Néouvielle (Neuvielha)</p><br>
<p>Cirque de Gavarnie</p><br>
<p>Lac de Gaube</p><br>
<p>Pont d&#39;Espagne</p><br>
<p>Battle of Hanging Rock Historic Site is a historic battle site commemorating the Battle of Hanging Rock during the American Revolutionary War and located near Heath Springs, Lancaster County, South Carolina. As part of a series of strongholds planned to maintain the British position in South Carolina, an outpost was established at Hanging Rock in 1780. The importance of this post was in its strategic location on the road from Camden to Charlotte. The first American attack on the post occurred on July 30, 1780, led by Major William Richardson Davie, with 40 dragoons and 40 mounted riflemen. On August 6, 1780, and after three hours of fighting, many of General Thomas Sumter’s men were unable to continue the battle. It was agreed to plunder the British camp and depart.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<p>The Holt-Poindexter Store Building is a historic retail building in rural Ouachita County, Arkansas. It is located on County Road 101, near its southern junction with County Road 111, about 4 mi north of Stephens, in the unincorporated community of Ogemaw. The store, a vernacular single-story wood frame structure with a gable roof and full-width front porch, was built in 1904 by H. B. Holt, and is believed to be the oldest general store in southern Arkansas. A small addition was added to the north side in the 1920s to house post office facilities. This was removed in 1948, at which time a rear addition was added to provide space for an office and feed storage. The business was taken over by Holt&#39;s son-in-law, Chester Poindexter, and then his son, Kenneth.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>The Samuel Merrill House is a historic house located at 1285 N. Summit Ave. in Pasadena, California. Noted Pasadena architects Charles and Henry Greene designed the American Craftsman style house, which was built for conservationist Samuel Merrill in 1910. The single-story, "L"-shaped house is built from redwood and Arroyo stone, giving it a natural appearance; it also uses clinker brick for decoration. The house&#39;s gable roof features overhanging eaves and exposed rafter tails, characteristic features of Craftsman design. Several pairs of banded casement windows, many with wooden frames, are located throughout the facade. The house is considered one of the best-preserved small houses designed by Greene & Greene.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 5, 2001.</p><br>
<p>The Pic du Jer is a summit in the Hautes-Pyrénées.</p><br>
<p>Located at 951 m metres above the city of Lourdes, it is recognizable by its big cross lit up at night.</p><br>
<h2>Access</h2><br>
<p>The mountain is accessible by funicular which has been in operation since 1900. It transports passengers up to 950 m high, which follows a 1,100 m long route, on a slope varying from 27% (right at the beginning) to 56%. The route separates in two in the middle to enable the two trains to pass. It travels through two tunnels and over a viaduct, which can be seen from distance, such as from the route linking Lourdes to Argelès (Argelès-Lourdes direction). The lower station is accessible near the route (indicated by arrows from the southern Lourdes exit roundabout). One can also get to it by bus from the town-centre.</p><br>
<p>The 15-minute-long journeys (1.20 m/s) are usually every 30 minutes. The wagons hold 80 passengers (40 seated). From March to September, the funicular operates from 9:30 to 18:30, while only operating afternoons during the rest of the year.</p><br>
<p>At the higher station, there are several paths leading to the summit. There is a fast food and drink outlet near the station, with terraced benches and wonderful views of Lourdes, the mountain peaks and the surrounding area.</p><br>
<p>The main path has a few sheltered benches. Near the summit, the quality of the paths reduces considerably, but one can reach the summit without any real difficulty for a fairly fit and agile person. From the observatory, situated on the peak, an exceptional panorama awaits the visitor: Lourdes, the Lavedan and Argelès-Gazost, Tarbes, Lannemezan, Pau and the whole central mountain range of the Pyrenees (with orientation board). However, the observatory is in an abandoned state, as is the rest of the equipment on the summit, but this does not take anything away from the quality of the panorama.</p><br>
<p>The pic du Jer is also a hiking and climbing stead. The start of a downhill permanent mountain bike slope is at the foot of the station of arrival.</p><br>
<p>The Victory Park Historic District of Manchester, New Hampshire, encompasses Victory Park, a city park laid out in 1838, and four buildings that face it across adjacent streets. Originally called Concord Square, Victory Park was laid out by the proprietors of the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company who founded Manchester, and was first used as a common area, used by abutters for gardening and grazing. The park was sold by the proprietors to the city for $1 in 1848, conditioned on making alterations that would transform it into a park. The city did not immediately act on the required conditions, but it had by the 1870s become more parklike, with a fountain and thickly-planted trees. The park was renamed after the First World War; its most prominent feature is the Winged Victory Monument to the city&#39;s soldiers in that war, designed by Lucien Gosselin and erected in 1929. The park underwent a major rehabilitation in 1988.</p><br>
<p>The district includes four buildings that face the park. The Manchester City Library (Carpenter Memorial Library), at 405 Pine Street, is a Beaux Arts structure built in 1914 and donated by Frank Carpenter in memory of his wife; it was designed by Edward Tilton. At 148 Concord Street stands the 1916 Manchester Institute of Arts and Science building, designed by Boston architect William Rantoul and built as a gift of Emma Blood French, Frank Carpenter&#39;s sister-in-law. To the south of the park, at 129 Amherst Street, is the Classical Revival Manchester Historical Association building, also designed by Edward Tilton. Finally, at 111 Amherst Street stands the Tilton-designed former post office building, built in 1932.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<p>North Carolina-South Carolina Cornerstone is a historic boundary marker located near Lancaster, Lancaster County, South Carolina. It was erected in 1813, and is located on the boundary between Lancaster County, South Carolina and Union County, North Carolina. The cornerstone was erected by commissioners appointed by the two states to survey the boundary between the western termination of the boundary line which had been run in 1764 and to the southeast corner of Catawba lands. The cornerstone is an uneven, rectangular, upright metamorphosed igneous stone marker approximately two feet high. The top part of the cornerstone, which contains the engraved notations, “N.C.” and “S.C.” was broken off when a car hit the marker in 1977. On the portion of the stone remaining at the original site can be seen “A.D. 1818.”</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>Buford&#39;s Massacre Site, also known as Buford’s Battleground, is a historic site and national historic district located near Lancaster, Lancaster County, South Carolina. Two monuments now mark the Buford Battleground. A white monument ten feet tall, erected on June 2, 1860, marked the American gravesite. This marker became so scarred from chippings of souvenir hunters that a new monument was erected on May 1, 1955, bearing the same inscription. Buford’s Massacre was one of the many vicious actions that characterized the Revolutionary War campaigns in the backcountry South. This particular battle became a symbol of British atrocities and Tarleton became known as “Bloody Tarleton.”</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Campbieil is a summit in the French Pyrenees, culminating at a height of 3,173 m. It is located in the Néouvielle massif, included in the Pyrenees National Park of which it constitutes the second highest summit, after the pic Long .</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first recorded ascension dates from 1848, by captain Loupot who was carrying out triangulation works. Of very easy access by its western slope, that of Gèdre, the summit is frequented by sheep and isards and has ever been ambled by shepherds and hunters.</p><br>
<h2>Access</h2><br>
<p>The most frequented access route runs today through the north, by a path which presents no difficulty (besides its steepness), from the Cap de Long dam.</p><br>
<p>Another slightly shorter route, is accessible to the east: which consists in reaching the Estaragne by ascending the stream hollow of Estaragne from the D 929, then to walk along the crest. It too, presents no major difficulty, at least not on a clear summer day.</p><br>
<p>The Estaragne  is a French pyrenean summit, culminating at 3,006 m m.</p><br>
<h2>Topography</h2><br>
<p>The peak is located in the Hautes-Pyrénées department, in the Néouvielle massif, near Saint-Lary-Soulan in the Pyrenees National Park and near the Néouvielle National Nature Reserve.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The etymology of the name "Estaragne" is obscure, although there is a small valley and stream with the same name just to the northeast of the peak.</p><br>
<h2>Ecology</h2><br>
<p>The peak itself is bare, but the upper slopes have a sub-alpine climate. Meadows predominate with patches of trees and shrubs. Snow cover usually starts in late October and lasts until June. the most common shrubs are Rhododendron ferrugineum and Vaccinium myrtillus; and the most common grasses are Nardus stricta and Festuca eskia.</p><br>
<h2>Access</h2><br>
<p>There are at least two relatively easy summer access routes:</p><br>
<p>From the east, the shorter route, starts by leaving the sharp turn of the D 929 at the bridge crossing over the Estaragne stream, it then ascends the small hollow and turns southwards up to the col d&#39;Estaragne.</p><br>
<p>From the north, starting at the Cap de Long Lake, the longer route advances up valley of the Cap de Long creek.</p><br>
<p>Coygan Cave was an ossiferous cave near Laugharne in Carmarthenshire, Wales. The cave was about a mile from the sea and located in a limestone hillside, but has been destroyed by quarrying.</p><br>
<p>Although prehistoric handaxes were found in the cave, there were no human bones. Three triangular handaxes (bout coupé) suggested that the cave had been used by Neanderthals some time between 64,000 and 38,000 years BCE. These axes were made of local materials. The cave was subsequently a den for hyenas, and was described by zoologist George Rolleston, prior to his death in 1881, as "the most perfect instance of a hyena den" he had seen. Rev G N Smith, a correspondent of Charles Darwin, collected many of the bone samples from the cave. Some of the finds are now held by the National Museum of Wales and others by Carmarthenshire County Museum.</p><br>
<p>The Leake-Ingham Building is a historic commercial building in Camden, Arkansas. It is located behind the McCollum-Chidester House at 926 Washington Street NW, and is part of the Ouachita County Historical Society Museum. It is one of the oldest commercial buildings in Camden. The single-story Greek Revival structure was built c. 1850 by William Leake, a prominent Camden attorney, and has a distinctive Greek temple front. It was originally located on a prominent corner of the city, at Washington and Harrison Streets. Leake operated a law practice from the building until 1866 with various partners, after which it was used to house government offices, and later Camden&#39;s first library. Threatened with demolition in the 1950s, it was moved several times before its acquisition by the historical society.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<p>The McCollum-Chidester House is a historic house at 926 Washington Street NW in Camden, Arkansas. It is now a museum operated by the Ouachita County Historical Society, along with the Leake-Ingham Building at the rear of the property. The 1-1/2 story wood frame house was built in 1847 by Peter McCollum and sold ten years later to Colonel John T. Chidester. It is one of the finest pre-Civil War Greek Revival mansions in the state. Chidester was a prominent businessman who controversially sought to do business with Union interests during the Civil War. After the war he established a mail company that operated so-called "Star Routes" as far west as the Arizona Territory. He was not implicated in bribery scandals that attended this operation.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.</p><br>
<p>The Lester and Haltom No. 1 Well Site is the site of the first discovery of oil in the state of Arkansas in 1920. It is located in Ouachita County, about 4 mi east of Stephens, and off Old Wire Road . The site is overgrown, with limited evidence of its past. There are , two large depressions in the ground, about 2+1/2 to 3 ft deep, and up to 75 ft long and 35 ft wide, one used as a mud pit, the other as a slush pit. A tar-blackened trail shows where there was runoff from the well, whose drill hole was just to the south of the mud pit. East of the mud pit is another depression where the steam engine was mounted; there is still a turnbuckle embedded in a nearby tree.</p><br>
<p>The well on this site blew on April 14, 1920, was operated for only a short time, producing 70 to 100 barrels per day for a few months before running dry, and was not commercially viable. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>Marboré Peak  is a summit in the Pyrenees located on the Franco-Spanish border crest in the Monte Perdido Range.</p><br>

<p>Spanish side: it is situated in the comarca of Sobrarbe, province of Huesca, autonomous community of Aragon.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Philippe de Nemours in 1846 was perhaps the first to have climbed Marboré Peak, though we lack precision to attribute it to him.</p><br>
<p>The Joel Eddins House is a hall-and-parlor log house on the grounds of Burritt on the Mountain in Huntsville, Alabama, and is the oldest documented building in the state. The house was built in 1810 near present-day Ardmore in Limestone County, Alabama, by Joel Eddins, a settler from Abbeville County, South Carolina. It was moved from its original site to Burritt in 2007. The -story house is a hall-and-parlor style, not commonly found in Alabama. An addition was built in the 1930s to the rear, which wrapped around part of the east side; it was not retained when the house was moved to Burritt. The gable roof has brick chimneys on the ends. The main entry opens into the larger "hall" room, which contains a fireplace on the west wall and doors on the other two. A quarter-turn staircase in the northeast corner leads to the upper floor. The eastern door leads to the "parlor" with another fireplace and staircase. The upper floor rooms are the same size as those below, and are not connected. Each room has two small, four-pane windows on either side of the chimney. The 1930s addition contained a bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>

The building is located at 301 Main Street in Houston, Texas and occupies the corner of Main Street and Congress Street in Downtown Houston. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The Sweeney, Coombs and Fredericks Building shares a 75-year ground lease from Harris County and adjacent to the historic Pillot Building. The building lies within the boundaries of Houston&#39;s Main Street/Market Square Historic District. Market Square, the namesake for the historic district, is just one block away on Congress Street.</p><br>
<h2>Purchase, Development, and Construction</h2><br>
<h3>Purchase</h3><br>
<p>In 1882, John Jasper Sweeney and Edward L. Coombs commissioned the purchase of an 1861 building built by William A. Van Alstyne, the W.A. Van Alstyne Building.</p><br>
<h3>Construction</h3><br>
<p>Historical records indicate that the W.A. Van Alstyne Building was set to be demolished and replaced by the Sweeney and Coombs structure. Speculation remains as to whether the demolition of the W.A. Van Alstyne Building was ever completed; some theorists believe that the W.A. Van Alstyne Building was incorporated by renovation into the structure built by Sweeney and Coombs.</p><br>
<p>Construction of the building was completed in 1887.</p><br>
<h3>Design</h3><br>
<p>The building was designed by George E. Dickey and the style of the building reflects the Victorian Era of architecture. Design elements included a 3-story corner turret and Eastlake decorative elements. The decorative angled doors of the building are set facing the intersection of 220 Main Street.</p><br>
<h3>Renovations</h3><br>
<p>The building underwent a modest renovation in 1968, which preserved the exposed brick walls and original hardwood floors.</p><br>
<h2>Ownership</h2><br>
<p>Gus Fredericks joined the Sweeney and Coombs Jewelry firm before 1889.</p><br>
<p>In 1998, the building was purchased by Houston criminal lawyer Robert Scardino, retired businessman Joe Scardino and real estate attorney Tim Horan Jr. Horan stated that "the Sweeney, Combs is the oldest continuously occupied building in town," referring to the building which was, at the time, 135 years old.</p><br>
<p>The jewelry firm is still in business.</p><br>

<p>It rises at the centre of the cirques of Marcadau, Piedrafita and Bachimaña, and is surrounded by many lakes or Ibóns.</p><br>
<p>Given its high altitude and pyramidal form, it is a well climbed summit.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first ascent was carried out by Henry Russell and guide Cauterets Latour in the summer of 1874.</p><br>
<h2>Access</h2><br>
<p>From France, a path starts from the Wallon valley and another from the zone de Respomuso (cirque de Piedrafita).</p><br>
<p>From Spain, the path starts at la Sarra marsh (Sallent de Gállego), goes past the Respumuso dam, the ibón de Campoplano, the Ibóns de la Fache, the port de la Fache and ends by steep slopes up to the summit.</p><br>
<p>Lancaster Cotton Oil Company is a historic factory complex and national historic district located at Lancaster, Lancaster County, South Carolina. It encompasses five contributing buildings and six contributing structures associated with the Lancaster Cotton Oil Company established in 1907. The Lancaster Cotton Oil Company office and seed house burned in 1913 and were replaced as the company continued to grow. After the post-World War I decline the Lancaster and Kershaw cotton oil mills were among South Carolina’s larger and more centrally located mills which survived into the 1930s and 1940s. Contributing resources include the Seed and Hull House , Cotton Seed Processing Plant , Oil Storage Tanks and Shed , Cotton Gin , and an office .</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>

<p>The Weare Town House is a historic New England meeting house on New Hampshire Route 114 in Weare, New Hampshire. The two story wood frame clapboarded structure was built in 1837 to serve both as a town meeting space and a place for the local Universalist congregation to meet. Its most prominent exterior feature is its two-stage tower, which houses a bell manufactured that same year by George Holbook of East Medway , Massachusetts; Holbrook had received his training in the bell foundry of Paul Revere. The interior was originally arranged so that town meetings were held on the first floor and church services on the second. The upstairs was adapted for use as a high school in 1919. The building continues to be used for town facilities.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>Dimitrije "Mita" Davidović (Zemun, Habsburg Monarchy, 12 October 1789 – Smederevo, Principality of Serbia</p><br>
<h2>Biography</h2><br>
<p>Dimitrije Davidović, born in Zemun on 12 October 1789, was the son of Gavrilo and Marija Georgijević. In 1789 his father, a regiment priest of the Serbian Orthodox Church in the Austrian Army, was transferred to Zemun after the liberation of Belgrade from the Turks. His grandfather, Very Rev. David Georgijević, was a professor at the famed Latin School (Latinska škola) at Sremski Karlovci, founded by Metropolitan Pavle Nenadović of the Serbian Orthodox Church. Dimitrije was a sickly child and as such was inclined to read and write instead of playing outdoors. He completed Serbian grammar school in Zemun and the Protestant lyceum of Kežmarok, and his post-secondary education, at Sremski Karlovci, was guided by his professor of Latin, his paternal grandfather Georgijević. From there he then went to the universities of Pest and Vienna, where he first studied philosophy then switched over to the University of Viennas prestigious School of Medicine. He was early involved in the political troubles in which Serbia and the Serbian people were then immersed with the Turkish authorities in Istanbul (Constantinople). Dimitrije decided one day to take his grandfathers given name "David" as his surname "Davidović" to avoid detection by the authorities who were looking for him at the time.</p><br>
<p>The First Serbian Uprising, led by Karađorđe Petrović, started in 1804 but could not survive beyond 1813 without the support of the Great Powers. Soon, came the Second Serbian Uprising under Miloš Obrenović I, Prince of Serbia in 1815 which gained nominal concessions from the sultan of Constantinople, thanks to the intervention of Imperial Russia.</p><br>
<h2>Publishing</h2><br>
<p>Volume 11 of Зборник радова Институтa за новију историју Србије, Институт за новију историју Србије, Географски институт "Јован Цвијић" САНУ, Институт за славистку Ран, 2014, ISBN 8670051257, p. 680.</p><br>
<p>While studying medicine in Vienna in 1812, Dimitrije Davidović wanted to start a Serbian newspaper but could not get a licence which was personally denied by Klemens von Metternich himself. About 1813, in conjunction with a fellow student, Dimitrije Frušić, he founded and edited a Serbian newspaper in Vienna called Novine serbske iz carstvujuščeg grada Viene (Serbian news from the Imperial City of Vienna), and Zabavnik (Entertainment), in which many interesting particulars respecting the literature and political history of Serbia was published. Like Stefan Novaković, his predecessor, Davidović believed that any people who would like to be recognized as enlightened must have its national newspapers and magazines, which are essentially important for the four million Serbs living under the Habsburg yoke at the time. His Novine serbske iz carstvajuscega grada Viene (Serbian news from the Imperial City of Vienna)soon changed its direction from translations of travelogues, biographies and writings on history to national issues (current events) and Serbian literature. Among the contributors in his newspaper and magazine were Lukijan Mušicki, Sima Milutinović Sarajlija, Teodor Pavlović, Georgije Magarašević, Danilo Medaković and other prominent Serbian poets and writers. Both the newspaper and almanach were eventually suppressed by the Austrian government in 1821. He wrote Istorija Serbije (History of Serbia), 1813-1815 and what is now considered his best work, Srbijanka (Serbian Woman, 1826), an epic poem in praise of the liberation of Serbia, led by Karađorđe Petrović (1804) and Miloš Obrenović (1813). Serbian historiography at the revolutionary time of pre-romanticism, it is said, has no better representative than Simeon Piščević, right up to Dimitrije Davidović.</p><br>
<p>His "History of the Serbian People", was published for the first time in Vienna in 1821, and supplemented by lawyer Jovan Hadžić, was reprinted in 1846 by Gligorije Vozarovic (1790 — 1848). In 1848 the work was translated into French by Alfred Vigneron.</p><br>
<h2>Secretary to Prince Miloš Obrenović of Serbia</h2><br>
<p>His talents gained him the favourable notice of Prince Miloš (Obrenović) of Serbia, who appointed Davidović secretary of his offices at Belgrade, and sent him on special diplomatic missions. According to prince Miloš&#39;s judgement Davidović was "exceptionally talented in diplomacy." He resided in Belgrade and enjoyed the continued favour of the court. He headed the Serbian diplomatic delegation in Istanbul (Constantinople), Turkey, from 1829 to 1833. He is considered by Serbian historians as one of the most important diplomats of his era.</p><br>
<p>In one of Davidovićs patriotic appeals on 3 August 1821 he pointed out the need for female childrens education. Since the state was technically at war with the Turks and almost unable to concern itself with the opening of a girls&#39; school which at the time was prohibited by Moslem (Turkish) law. He was Minister of Education and Minister for Foreign Affairs from 8 June 1834 to 2 December 1835.</p><br>
<h2>Sretenje Ustav/Candlemas Constitution</h2><br>
<p>In 1835 he was placed at the head of a committee to draw up a Serbian constitution; and it was, after all, chiefly drawn up by himself. Called "Sretenje Ustav" (Candlemas Constitution) it was drafted by Dimitrije Davidović to secure Serbia protection of citizens before the state and transformation of Serbia into a legal state with protected human and property rights for all. It was the first step toward power-sharing in modern Serb political history. But it was not to be expected that such sweeping changes could be affected without opposition, and no sooner the Sublime Porte and Austria brought their grievances against the implemented Sretenje. Prince Miloš yielded to them, but many of Davidović&#39;s followers were not so complaisant, and it was only by threat of force of arms that the new constitution was abolished after being less than three weeks in force. Davidović and Prince Miloš sadly parted company under political pressure. Davidović withdrew from Belgrade to Smederevo, where he died three years later.</p><br>
<h2>Legacy</h2><br>
<p>Dimitrije Davidović greatly distinguished himself as one of the most intrepid and influential supporters of the cause of liberalism, in both political and religious matters, until his death at Smederevo, where he died on 24 March 1838.</p><br>
<p>He belongs principally to the same class of writers as Djordje Magarašević, Teodor Pavlović, and Danilo Medaković who worked tirelessly more on a cultural and political plain than literary. Obviously, dictated by the circumstances of the times.</p><br>
<p>Enchanted Pond is a mountain pond in the USA state of Maine. Situated in the Western Maine Mountains in the Northwest Somerset Region, the pond is located in a deep mountain valley between Coburn Mountain  and Shutdown Mountain . Near its southern end, the pond is distinguished by two rockslides from the exposed cliffs of these mountains that extend down into the water along both shores. Enchanted Pond is fed by mountain springs and Little Enchanted Pond, and is the primary source of Enchanted Stream which flows into the Dead River, a tributary of the Kennebec River. Development on the pond is limited to a small set of sporting camps at the northern end of the pond and one remote camp on the southwest shore, both a part of Bulldog Camps. There are no islands in the pond.</p><br>
<p>Enchanted Pond is exceptionally deep, and has only a very narrow area of shallow water along its shoreline. Rock and gravel make up the majority of its shores with many large boulders in the rockslide areas and a few sandy beaches, one on the east side directly across from another on the west side, and one on the south shore near the outlet. There is very little aquatic vegetation, resulting in excellent water clarity and oligotrophic conditions.</p><br>
<p>The pond was last surveyed by the State of Maine Inland Fisheries and Wildlife in August, 1979 when the water temperature was determined to be 66 °F at the surface and 41 °F at a depth of 100 feet.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Shutdown Mountain, with 800-foot (244 m) cliffs rising up abruptly from Enchanted Pond, gave the pond its alternative name "Bulldog Pond" sometime in the mid to late 1800s. Its shale face, along with the rocky cliff that forms the western side of Coburn Mountain resembled the profile of two bulldogs looking across the pond at one other. Since there were other ponds with the name Enchanted, it seemed a good way to uniquely identify this pond in particular.</p><br>
<p>Enchanted Pond has attracted visitors for well over a century, from early lumbermen who worked out of the logging camps on its north shore to later sportsmen seeking the outdoor tranquility, seclusion, and hunting and fishing opportunities it provided. 19th-century "rusticators" traveled by railroad and after the turn of the century float plane fly-in service became popular for anglers. Guests can spare themselves the arduous ten mile hike in from USA Route 201 via the access road built by the owner of Bulldog Camps in 2005. Various species dwell among the surrounding cliffs and talus slopes, including peregrine falcons, bald eagles and common loons. The region also has a large moose and bear population. The shores of the pond are scattered with various fossil rocks millions of years old.</p><br>
<h3>Namesake</h3><br>
<p>The Enchanted region includes not just Enchanted Pond, but mountain spring-fed Little Enchanted Pond which runs into Upper Enchanted Stream, then into Enchanted Pond, back into Enchanted Stream, into Lower Enchanted Pond and Lower Enchanted Stream, then on to the Dead River. The area was named for the many "enchanting: things that happened there: the upper reaches of Enchanted Stream would go underground from time to time and then pop up again several hundred feet away; men in the woods of the Enchanted would search for the source of laughter or voices they heard, only to find themselves alone in the forest; hunters would follow tracks in the snow out onto frozen Enchanted Pond only to find them disappear in the middle and they could follow them no more.</p><br>
<h3>H.P. McKenney Log Sluice</h3><br>
<p>The pond is the historic site of H.P. McKenney’s famous log sluice built in 1898. After several failed attempts at procuring financial assistance to help him with the project, it was apparent that no one believed his modern feat of engineering would work, so Henry Patrick McKenney took it upon himself to finance the job and he and his men spent the next two years constructing a wooden sluiceway down Enchanted Stream to run his logs from Enchanted to the Dead River, saving him a significant amount of mileage to the mill compared to his old route via the Moose River over to Moosehead Lake and down the Kennebec River. Logs were cut on site with four-inch-thick pine planks used for the flooring and three inch planks for the sides. Several trestles were built over deep gullies, ravines, and boulders, from ten feet high up to thirty feet high in places. A wooden dam was constructed at the outlet in order to hold the water back until it was needed for the drive in the spring, although there was no guarantee that the sluice would actually work. In the spring of 1900, after years of backbreaking work, anxiety, and mounting debts, McKenney gave the order to open the gate at the dam, the first load of long logs were guided into the sluice, and down they sped. It was said that it only took the logs one and a quarter minutes to travel the length of the one and a quarter mile sluiceway. In reference to the previously popular opinion that such a sluice could not be successful, some would sarcastically remark at how many huge stacks of logs now waited in the surrounding woods to be sent down H.P.’s Folly.</p><br>
<h2>Fish</h2><br>
<p>Although water chemistry and conditions are excellent for cold water game fish at all depths, Enchanted Pond is not a very productive pond due to so much of its area being so deep. There are two small tributaries at the northern end of the pond that are good spawning areas for the pond’s population of native brook trout maintained only through natural reproduction. The Enchanted Stream inlet also produces many young trout for the pond as it is an excellent spawning and nursery habitat as well. The Enchanted Stream outlet does not allow for the passage of fish into the pond due to the remains of the old, wooden driving dam, though natural barriers downstream have also prevented other fish species which occur in the drainage from entering Enchanted Pond.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Set at an elevation of 1,443 feet (440 m), Enchanted Pond is approx. 2 miles long by a half mile wide (3.2 km by 0.8 km), with an area of 1 mile² (2.6 km²), and over 5 miles (8 km) of shoreline. Its major inlet is Enchanted Stream, which flows southeast from Little Enchanted Pond into the northwest corner of Enchanted. To the northeast, a stream fed by springs on Coburn Mountain is its second largest tributary. Flowing out of Enchanted Pond to the south is its only outlet, Lower Enchanted Stream with leads to Lower Enchanted Pond.</p><br>
<p>Enchanted Pond is located in Upper Enchanted Township in Somerset County, Maine. During the last glacial era, hundreds of natural lakes and ponds were carved into the surrounding landscape, varying in size from one acre (4,000 m²) ponds to Moosehead Lake, at 74,890 acres (303 km²) one of the largest natural freshwater lakes in the United States.</p><br>
<p>Access to the pond is limited to a few hiking trails and the road built to access Bulldog Camps.</p><br>
<h2>Development</h2><br>
<p>New Hampshire-based Wagner Forest Management oversees the land surrounding the pond as part of its 2.7 million acres of forestland managed as a timberland investment for several select clients. The land is open to the public for low-impact activities such as hunting, fishing and hiking in an attempt to bring residents, money, and tourists to Maine. The land is protected from further development as no other buildings are allowed to be built outside of the existing sporting camps on the north shore. Many areas around the pond have been logged since the 1860s all the way up to clear-cutting that began in the 1970s.</p><br>
<p>104–128 South Side Square is a block of historic commercial buildings in Huntsville, Alabama. The block, known as "Commercial Row" in the late 1800s, consists of fifteen two- and three-story buildings constructed between 1835 and 1912. 108, built in 1835 as a store for the Bell Factory textile mill, and 110, built in 1840, are the oldest buildings on the block but both have been extensively modified. 106, 112, 114, and 116 were all built in the 1880s in Italianate style; 118 was also built at this time but damaged by fire in 1901 and rebuilt without many of its original details. 128, built in 1896, is a transitional style between Italianate and the more restrained, 20th century Commercial Brick style. 104, 120, 122, and 124–126 were all built between 1903 and 1912 in the later commercial style. 122 was extensively renovated in 1965 with a modern façade. 124 and 126 have housed the Harrison Brothers hardware store since they were built in 1902; the store opened in another building on the square in 1897, and has been operated by the Historic Huntsville Foundation since 1984. At the time of the nomination, 100 had its original Italianate features covered or removed; it has since been restored, including a balcony wrapping around the façade and halfway down the Madison Street side of the building. The buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
