<p>James H. Wilson Hall  is a historic building on the campus of Alabama A&M University in Huntsville, Alabama. It was built in 1911 after a gift from the Robert R. McCormick family. It served as the university&#39;s home economics building until 1968, when it was partly taken over by the art department until 1970. It was vacant until 1990, when the building was restored and taken over by the State Black Archives Research Center and Museum.</p><br>
<p>The center portion of the building is three stories, with a gable roof running front-to-back. The main entrance is inside an enclosed lobby of white painted brick which features three windowed arches on the front and arches with glass doors on either side. Above the lobby is a two-story pedimented portico, supported by four Ionic columns, with a third-floor balcony. On either side of the main block, set back from the portico, are 2 four-bay, two-story wings. Windows on the first floor façade are six-over-six sashes, while the second and third floors are nine-over-nine. The roof is covered in red tile with a decorative finial on the gable ends. The cornice is decorated with small dentils on the wings, and larger ones on the architrave.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<p>The Trout Inn is a pub next to the River Thames at Lechlade in the English county of Gloucestershire. The Grade II listed stone building consists of two two-storey structures, one late medieval and the other added in the 18th century. The building began as an almshouse for workers on the adjoining St John&#39;s Bridge in the 1220s, before becoming part of a priory and then an inn.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The pub is located on the Thames Path close to St Johns Lock and St Johns Bridge, where the River Cole and the River Leach join the Thames on opposite banks. Mooring for boats is available and small boats can be hired from the pub garden.</p><br>
<p>The pub is on the A417 on the outskirts of Lechlade. There is a camp site next to the pub. The pub owns 2 mi of fishing rights.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building was started in the 1220s by Peter Fitzherbert as a hospital or almshouse, dedicated to St. John the Baptist, The priory survived until its dissolution in 1472. At that time, the building became known as an inn called Ye Sygne of St John Baptist Head. The name was changed to The Trout Inn in 1704.</p><br>
<p>In the 18th and early 19th centuries, The Trout provided the residence for the lock keeper of St John&#39;s Lock; this function was discontinued in 1830 when a lock house was built.</p><br>
<p>The pub is a venue for regular music events, particularly jazz, with one event in January 2014 having to be cancelled because of flooding. The pub serves two regular draught beers, supplied by the Courage Brewery.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The original, two-storey structure is late medieval. Its interior incorporates timber-beamed ceilings. Near the end of the 18th century, a two-storey addition was made on the northern side; this building features stone construction and a slate roof. The newer structure features a pair of 12-pane sash windows on each floor, a "half-glazed" door, and a gabled entryway. To the rear of the buildings lie an "old-fashioned garden", an orchard, and a pool.</p><br>
<p>Nosy Mitsio is an island off the northwest coast of Madagascar. It is located 70 km north-east of Nosy Be and 60 km north-west of the city of Ambilobe. Owing to the Mitsio archipelago being distant from other large bodies of land, Nosy Mitsio offers crystal clear waters, white sandy beaches, lush coconut palms and a marine fauna with abundant reefs distant from the island perimeter. Nosy Mitsio is the only inhabited island of the Mitsio archipelago . Nosy Mitsio is very rural: it has no infrastructural development and is populated mainly by small family villages. There are several primary schools and very limited access to healthcare services. Most inhabitants of Nosy Mitsio are subsistence rice farmers who also use a variety of fishing methods and shellfish gathering. Supplemental income is provided through salting fish, diving for sea cucumbers, and gathering coconuts - all of which is sold at Port St Louis, the nearest port on mainland Madagascar.</p><br>
<p>The J.G. Deering House also known as the Dyer Library/Saco Museum is an historic house at 371 Main Street in Saco, Maine. Completed in 1870, it is a fine local example of Italianate style. Built for Joseph Godfrey Deering, it was given by his heirs to the city for use as a library. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and history</h2><br>
<p>The Deering House is located on the south side of United States Route 1, a short way north of Saco&#39;s central business district. It is a 2-1/2 story brick strucuture, with limestone and wooden trim elements. It has a side-gable roof with a denticulated and bracketed cornice, with a front-facing gable above the centered entrance. The main facade is three bays wide, with the entrance sheltered by a wide single-story flat-roof porch supported by square columns. Above the entrance are paired round-arch windows, with a half-round window in the gable above. The entrance is flanked by three-side bays, with single sash windows above. A two-story ell extends to the rear, and is further extended by a single-story ell which joins the house to a period carriage house. To the north of the house stands the 1-1/2 story brick complex of the former York Institute.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1869-70 by Joseph Godfrey Deering, who began in business as a grocer, but got involved in the lumber industry, creating one of Maines largest lumber companies. This house was supposedly the first in York County to have running water and indoor toilets. Deerings heirs undertook a series of extensions and alterations to the property, hiring noted architects John Calvin Stevens and Joseph Stickney to design them. Deering heirs gave the house to the city in 1955 for use as a library. The Dyer Library built the ell connecting the house to the carriage house. The library merged with the adjacent York Institute in 1976 to form the organization now known as Dyer Library/Saco Museum.</p><br>
<p>Still Hopes, also known as the Gabriel Alexander Guignard House and South Carolina Episcopal Home, is a historic home located at Cayce, Lexington County, South Carolina. It was built in 1910, and is a two-story, brick, Georgian Revival mansion with a truncated hip roof. The front façade features a two-story, flat roofed portico supported by paired Ionic order columns. It has a one-story, ornamented wraparound porch. In 1977, it was expanded and renovated to convert the mansion for use as an Episcopal retirement home. It was built as a residence for Gabriel Alexander Guignard , and the red brick for construction was manufactured by Guignard Brick Works.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>The Theodul Glacier  is a glacier of the Alps, located south of Zermatt in the canton of Valais. It lies on the Swiss side of the Pennine Alps, although its upper basin touches the Italian region of the Aosta Valley. The glacier descends from the west side of the Breithorn  and splits into two diverging branches above Gandegg: the Upper Theodul Glacier , spilling on a high plateau near Trockener Steg, together with the Furgg Glacier, and the Lower Theodul Glacier , reaching a height of about 2,500 m above the Gorner Glacier. Both branches are part of the Rhone basin, through the rivers Gornera, Mattervispa, and Vispa. Slightly above the glacier splitting is the Theodul Pass, crossing the border between Switzerland and Italy, and connecting Zermatt to Breuil-Cervinia. On the west, the Theodul Glacier is overlooked by the Matterhorn.</p><br>
<p>Until about 1980s the Lower Theodul Glacier was still connected to the Gorner Glacier and one of its tributaries.</p><br>
<p>The upper section of the Theodul Glacier consists of a flat plateau at around 3,800 metres, named Breithorn Plateau. The plateau lies between the Breithorn, the Gobba di Rollin and the Klein Matterhorn. The Breithorn Pass (3,814 m) separates the Breithorn from the Gobba di Rollin. A 3,795 m high saddle lies between the Gobba di Rollin and the Klein Matterhorn. Between the Klein Matterhorn and the Breithorn is a distinct glacier, named Klein Matterhorn Gletscher, which joins the Lower Theodul Glacier at about 3,000 metres. The Breithorn Plateau area can be easily accessed by several cable cars connecting Zermatt to the Klein Matterhorn.</p><br>
<p>At around 3,500 metres is the Plateau Rosa, whose name derives from the Valdôtain patois term Rosà, meaning "frozen" (as for the nearby Monte Rosa). This area lies between Testa Grigia (3,479 m) and the Klein Matterhorn, south of and slightly above the Theodul Pass. Southeast of Testa Grigia is a saddle named Passo di Ventina Nord (3,445 m). This area can also be easily accessed by several cable cars connecting Breuil-Cervinia to Testa Grigia.</p><br>
<p>Most of the glacier is part of the year-round ski area marketed as Matterhorn Glacier Paradise. It is the highest in Europe and largest summer ski area in the world, with 21 kilometres of prepared pistes. The culminating point is on the summit of Gobba di Rollin and the lowest is above Trockener Steg. The Matterhorn Glacier Paradise links the ski areas of Zermatt and Breuil-Cervina. Ski lifts connect Trockener Steg, Theodul Pass, Testa Grigia, Klein Matterhorn and Gobba di Rollin. A chair lift also connects Trockener Steg to the Furggsattel (3,349 m), north of the Theodul Pass.</p><br>
<p>Several lakes recently formed at the bottom of the Upper Theodul Glacier, west of Trockener Steg. The largest, named Theodulgletschersee is 7.76 ha wide and lies at an elevation of 2,851 metres above sea level. It is the highest lake over 4 ha in Switzerland and the largest lake in the Matter Valley (the valley of Zermatt). The second-largest, named Furggsee is 2.57 ha wide and lies at 2,874 metres.</p><br>
<p>The Butter Cross in Dunster within the English county of Somerset is a Grade II* listed building and ancient monument. The cross was originally erected in the late 14th or early 15th century in the main street, and was moved to its current site in the late 18th or early 19th century. Although the head of the cross is missing, the shaft and socket stone are original. The cross is in the care of English Heritage and is managed by the National Trust.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The name Buttercross originates from their location in market places, where people from neighbouring villages would gather around the market cross to buy locally produced products.</p><br>
<p>It was moved to its current location on St George&#39;s Street at the edge of the village, although the date when this was done is unclear. The site where the cross now stands was levelled in 1776 by workmen, paid by Henry Fownes Luttrell, and it may have been on this occasion that the cross was moved. An alternative local tradition is that it was moved in 1825, although a drawing by J. M. W. Turner made in 1811 suggests it was in its present position by then.</p><br>
<p>The cross is in the care of English Heritage and is managed by the National Trust.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The cross comprises a shaft with a plinth and socket stone forming the base. The octagonal base and polygonal shaft have survived, but the head of the cross has been lost. It stands on a small area of raised ground. The socket stone is 0.85 m wide and 0.5 m high. The surviving shaft is 1.1 m high and changes from square to octagonal as it rises. There is an inscription on the northern face which says "WC, 1871, WS" recording a restoration.</p><br>
<p>The Schoellkopf Power Station was built on land owned by Jacob F. Schoellkopf above the Niagara Gorge near the American Falls, 1,600 feet downriver from Rainbow Bridge. Understanding the growing need for electricity and the role of harnessing the Falls, Schoellkopf purchased the land for the hydraulic canal on May 1, 1877 for $71,000. After Schoellkopf Sr.s death in 1903, his sons took over the operation of the power business. In 1918, Schoellkopfs Niagara Falls Hydraulic Power and Manufacturing Company merged with the Niagara Falls Power Company, which was owned by Edward Dean Adams. The Plant was considered by some to be the greatest hydroelectric plant at the time. Much of the site is, as of 2014, occupied by the Maid of the Mist tour boat company as a maintenance area and off-season boat storage yard. The power station remains form a part of a fully accessible tourist attraction associated with Niagara Falls State Park and is connected with its Niagara Gorge hiking trail system.</p><br>
<h2>Station No. 1</h2><br>
<p>In 1853 construction of a "Hydraulic Canal" was begun, intended to bring water from the Niagara River above the falls to the river bluff below the falls. The original 1874 plant did not produce electricity but used water turbines to power belts and drive shafts for nearby mills. In 1882 Schoellkopf partnered with Charles Brush who had come to Niagara Falls with a dynamo and 16 carbon arc lights which were used on the streets of Niagara Falls, New York. The first dynamo had a capacity of 1,800 horsepower and ran up to 1904 when it was abandoned in favor of Station No. 2. it was also known as the Quigley Pulp - Lower Mill and the Cliff Paper - Lower Mill.</p><br>
<h2>Station No. 2</h2><br>
<p>In 1898 a second much larger hydroelectric plant was built at the base of the bluff, immediately in front of Schoellkopf&#39;s original 1874 plant, and reached a capacity of 34,000 hp before being shut down in 1921.</p><br>
<h2>Station No. 3</h2><br>
<p>Station No. 3a was completed by 1914 and housed 13 10,000-hp turbines. Station No. 3b</p><br>
<p>began construction in 1918 and contained three generators totaling 112,500 hp. Station No. 3c</p><br>
<p>was completed by 1924 with a capacity of 210,000 hp. As the old hydraulic canal was already operating at capacity a new tunnel was constructed to supply the new station.</p><br>
<h2>Collapse</h2><br>
<p>In June 1956, water began seeping into back of the plant from the wall built against the bluff, causing the wall to crack. At 5PM on June 7, Station No. 3c and then Station No. 3b flooded and collapsed into the Niagara River, destroying two thirds of the plant and the six generators that produced more than 300,000 horsepower. The grid lost 400,000 kilowatts of power and damage was estimated at $100m. The remains of the Plant either toppled into the gorge or were razed soon after. Station 3A was damaged, but remained in operation at reduced volume until 1961. The collapse led to the passage of the 1957 Niagara Redevelopment Act.</p><br>
<p>Station No. 3a was demolished in 1962 as part of Robert Mosess work to beautify the American side of the Falls. The energy lost by the 1956 collapse was replaced by the Robert Moses Niagara Power Plant, which was commissioned in 1961. The only permanently extant part of the Schoellkopf site is the stone wall (known as Power Station No. 3), which was built during beautification efforts in 1908-10. That wall was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in February 2013. However, depending on the seasonal flow of the River, its sometimes possible to see the twisted steel girders and even a generator turbine that fell into the River.</p><br>
<p>The Deerfield Center Historic District encompasses the heart of the rural New Hampshire town of Deerfield. It extends northwest along Church Street  from its junction with North Road, Candia Road, and Raymond Road. It includes many of the town&#39;s municipal buildings, as well as a church and private residences, most of which were built before about 1920. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Deerfield was incorporated in 1766, having originally been part of a land grant that formed Nottingham in 1721. Its early town center, little more than the colonial meeting house, was located north of the present center nearer the town&#39;s geographic center, and was set high on a hill, with little level space for growth. The present town center grew around the crossroads of Church, Candia, Raymond, and North roads. A Baptist congregation built a church here in 1805, and by the 1820s there was a small cluster of buildings including houses and taverns. By 1835 all of the local religious groups had churches here, and in 1845 the town voted to build a new town hall, demolishing the original meeting house and using some of its timbers for the new one. Other municipal buildings followed, including the library (1913-14) and fire department (1933).</p><br>
<p>The historic district extends from the main junction northwest along Church Street. It includes fourteen primary buildings, of which twelve are historic. There are three churches, the town hall, fire station, and Soldiers Memorial (which houses the library), while the remaining buildings are residential. Construction appears to have happened in three major waves: the 1830s, 1850-60s, and 1880s. All but two buildings are of wood frame construction, and covered in either clapboards or modern siding of similar appearance, while the fire station and memorial are brick. The buildings are stylistically diverse, with 19th-century styles predominating but none individually dominating.</p><br>
<p>The Dudley House, also known as the Perry-Dudley House, is a historic house at 14 Front Street in Exeter, New Hampshire. Built about 1805, it is a prominent local example of Federal architecture, further notable for its occupation by two of the town&#39;s leading 19th-century doctors. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971. It now houses professional offices.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Dudley House occupies a prominent position on the east side of Front Street in downtown Exeter, nearly across the street from both the Congregational Church and Exeter Town Hall. It is a three-story wood frame structure, with a hip roof and two interior brick chimneys. The main facade is five bays wide, with a center entrance sheltered by a gabled portico supported by two columns. The entrance is flanked by sidelight windows and fluted pilasters, and is topped by a transom window. The interior follows a center hall plan, although the main stair ascends from the back rather than the front. Later 19th-century additions include an ell and an attached carriage barn.</p><br>
<p>The house was built sometime between about 1805 and 1813, and is one of Exeters finest examples of Federal architecture. It was built for Dr. William Perry, who was for many years a leading physician of the town. He was succeeded in this role by his son, William Gilman Perry. During the latters ownership, they probably hosted writer Sarah Orne Jewett, a family friend. Perrys daughter married Albertus Dudley, descendant of Rev. Samuel Dudley, one of the towns 17th-century ministers. The house remained in the hands of Dudley descendants until 1935.</p><br>
<p>The Fly Manufacturing Company Building is a historic industrial building in Shelbyville, Tennessee, that now houses the Fly Arts Center, a cultural facility. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Fly Manufacturing Company was a textile manufacturing business that operated in Shelbyville from 1915 to 1985. The business was established by Joel Orval Fly, who had previously managed a textile factory in Clarksville, Tennessee. The following year, Fly expanded his operation into a larger facility, where it continued for about a decade before he began construction of the Fly Manufacturing Building.</p><br>
<p>In 1925, he hired John Morgan Raney to build the new factory building, which was completed in 1927. A two-story industrial building with a full basement and dimensions of 75 ft 125 ft, it was one of the largest buildings in the city at the time of its completion.</p><br>
<p>In the 1920s, Shelbyville was a center of industrial activity. As of 1928, Fly employed 75 people in the production of shirts. The factory&#39;s products were sold both to local stores and national businesses such as Sears and Montgomery Ward.</p><br>
<p>Fly Manufacturing remained in business through the Great Depression, but with reduced work schedules that allowed all employees to work at least two or three days weekly. During World War II the factory made pants, jackets, and fatigues for American soldiers.</p><br>
<p>Joel Fly died in 1960. The company he established continued to operate as an independent manufacturing company until 1972, when it was sold to the Bayly Corporation, a garment manufacturer based in Denver, Colorado. Bayly converted the facility to a distribution center for the southeastern United States. In 1980, Bayly sold the facility to the Woodway Corporation. Woodway returned the building to its original use as a factory and produced clothing there until 1985, when a decline in business led it to cease operations.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation and transformation into Fly Arts Center</h2><br>
<p>After the factory closed, the building was neglected for about a decade. In 1996, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in recognition of its significance in Shelbyville&#39;s industrial history. The Bedford County Arts Council restored the building and converted it to its current use as an arts center. As the Fly Arts Center, it houses a theater, museum, art gallery, classrooms, and a gift shop.</p><br>
<p>The John Elkins Farmstead is a historic farmstead at 155 Beach Plain Road in Danville, New Hampshire, United States. The property includes one of Danville&#39;s finest examples of a 19th-century connected farmstead, with buildings dating from the late 18th to late 19th centuries. The property encompassing the farm buildings was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996 .</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The John Elkins Farmstead is located in rural northeastern Danville, on the north side of Beach Plain Road a short way east of Hillside Terrace. It consists of a main house, with a wing that connects it to a barn; a carriage shed frames the west side of the courtyard formed by these structures, which lie just north of Beach Plain Road. The main house is a 2-1/2 story frame structure with a gabled roof and central chimney. Its centered entry is a 20th-century replacement for what was, by architectural analysis, probably a Federal style surround with sidelights and a fanlight. The interior has been carefully reconstructed in the Federal style, retaining original features where possible, and recreating others from documentary photographs. The barn is an unusually large 2-1/2 story structure with timber framing, and a two sliding front entrances. It is also accessible from the house via the wing on both floors, an unusual arrangement.</p><br>
<p>The construction date of the farmhouse is not known from documentary sources; architectural evidence suggests it was built in the late 18th century, probably for Jeremiah Elkins, who had recently married. The barn and shed were built by the Elkins son John, likely in 1875. John Elkins was known as one of Danvilles most successful farmers, adapting new technologies and practices as they came about. It was sold out of the Elkins family in 1919.</p><br>
<p>Hough Hole House is a historic house to the northwest of the village of Rainow, Cheshire, England. It dates from about 1660, and was altered and extended in 1796. An engineering works was added in the 1850s, and incorporated into the house during the 20th century. The house is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. In the 19th century gardens were created that are based on John Bunyans The Pilgrims Progress. These were designed by the owner, James Mellor, and are known as Mellor&#39;s Gardens. The gardens contain a number of listed buildings.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built about 1600. In 1796 it was acquired by James Mellor, who was building a cotton mill nearby, and alterations were made to the house at this time. It was altered again in the 1850s by Mellor&#39;s son, also called James, who built an adjacent engineering works powered by water from a mill pool. The house continued to be owned by the Mellor family into the 20th century, and in the 1920s it was rented to the Misses Russell, sisters and schoolteachers, who later became the owners. In 1978 the house was bought by Gordon and Ruth Humphries. The new owners carried out a programme of restoration and alterations, which included converting the adjacent works and incorporating it into the house.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Hough Hole House is constructed in coursed, buff sandstone rubble. It has a concrete tiled roof and two stone chimneys. The house is in two storeys, and has a near-symmetrical three-bay front. The windows are 20th-century casements with stone lintels. There is a central doorway, above which is a datestone inscribed with JMM (for James Mellor) and the date 1796. Also at the front is a single-storey conservatory. Inside the house are fireplaces dating from the 18th and 19th centuries. The house is designated as a Grade II listed building.</p><br>
<h2>Associated features</h2><br>
<p>The house is associated with gardens that were designed by James Mellor, junior, and are known as Mellors Gardens. They have a religious theme based on John Bunyans The Pilgrims Progress. A pathway takes the visitor through and past features included in the book, ending in a two-storey building on a ridge representing the Celestial City on Mount Zion. The gardens are designated at Grade II in the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens. The gardens contain the following structures that are designated as Grade II listed buildings. Mellors private chapel dates from 1844, and attached to the chapel is a barn dating from the 17th century. To the north of the chapel is a sundial dating from about 1850. Also in the garden are three pedestal tombs of members of the Mellor family and James Walker.</p><br>
<p>Mellors Gardens are the gardens of Hough Hole House and are located to the northwest of the village of Rainow, Cheshire, England. They were created by James Mellor, a local industrialist, their design being inspired by the teaching of Emanuel Swedenborg, and are a representation of John Bunyans The Pilgrim&#39;s Progress. Having been neglected in the 20th century, they have been restored and are open to visitors by arrangement. The gardens are listed at Grade II in the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens, and contain a number of Grade II listed buildings.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>James Mellor senior moved into Hough Hole House with his family in 1786. Mellor was a cotton manufacturer who was planning to build a new cotton mill nearby in the Ingersley Valley. His eldest son, also called James, had been born the previous year. Mellor senior died in 1828 and his son inherited the house and grounds. Mellor junior was a follower of Emanuel Swedenborg, a Swedish philosopher, one of whose concepts was that the natural world is an allegory of the spiritual world. Following this concept, he designed gardens around his house based on John Bunyans The Pilgrims Progress, an allegory describing the spiritual journey of a Christian through his life. He built the gardens himself, without help from staff or hired help. The gardens were open to the public, and were visited by thousands of people and remained open for some years after his death in 1891. In the 1920s the house and gardens were rented, and later owned, by two schoolteacher sisters, the Misses Russell. They added plants to the gardens, keeping its basic plan, but by the time that the second Miss Russell died, the gardens has become neglected. In 1978 the gardens were acquired by Gordon and Ruth Humphries who, with the help of the county archaeologist, restored the gardens to their former state. In the 1990s they were taken over by the Rigby family. The gardens remain in private ownership, and are open to the general public on advertised dates and by appointment.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The gardens are located to the northwest of the village of Rainow. They are approximately triangular in shape and occupy an area of about 0.8 hectare. The gardens are entered through a gate on Sugar Lane. The areas in the gardens, and the features they contain, are intended to represent the journey through the life of Christian in John Bunyans The Pilgrims Progress. Before entering the garden, the visitor is in their own City of Destruction. The first area is the Slough of Despond, originally a swampy area in Mellors vegetable garden, now drained, paved, and used as a visitors car park. The visitor then passes through the Wicket Gate to pass along the side of the house to the House of the Interpreter, formerly Mellor&#39;s stables. The path goes up a slope between dry stone walls to represent the Wall called Salvation, and passes on to become the Holy Way. This takes the visitor to the former mill pond that represents the Pool of Siloam. The path leads to a former cross, now a broken pillar, and the Cave of the Holy Sepulchre, where Christian loses the burden of his sin through the overflow hole of the mill pond. By the pond is a summerhouse bearing a plaque describing it as "Bethel or the House of God".</p><br>
<p>Here Christian is confronted with a choice between three paths, Difficulty, Danger, or Destruction. He is intended to choose the uphill path through the Arbour to the top of the hill of Difficulty. From the top of the hill is a view towards the Palace Beautiful, the back of Hough Hole House. The path leads over the Wobbly Bridge to a potting shed representing the Porters Lodge, in front of which is a stone lion. Here there is also a reference to the novel Uncle Toms Cabin, the shed representing the cabin, and the bridge representing the breaking ice of the Ohio River over which Eliza escaped with her baby. The path then leads along the side of the pond through the Valley of Humiliation and the Valley of the Shadow of Death. In the pond is a terracotta fish, representing the demon Apollyon. The path passes the Mouth of Hell, a niche by the side of the path, and the Cave at the end of the Valley, an opening covered by a hatch, to Vanity Fair, an area behind the former mill. After this, it passes through the Plain of Ease, by Hill Lucre, to a black pillar representing Lots Wife, through the Meadow by the River of God, up to a level lawn, By-path Meadow, which was formerly Mellors tennis court.</p><br>
<p>Originally the path led out of the gardens to a tenants farmhouse, 300 m away, representing Doubting Castle, the view of which is now obscured. Now the path leads down a grassy slope representing the Delectable Mountains, to a stone summerhouse, the Howling House. In the wall of this is a slot acting as an Aeolian harp, and a fireplace to produce smoke to fill the room. Next to this is the Country of Beulah, containing three pedestal tombs of members of the Mellor family. The path crosses the Dark River, goes through a sunken path representing again the Slough of Despond, and past a sundial. The path ends at the Celestial City on Mount Zion, a two-storey building standing on a ridge. The ground floor of this was a barn, and an external spiral staircase leads to the upper floor, which was used as Mellors chapel.</p><br>

<p>The Garver Brothers Store was a historic commercial structure in the village of Strasburg, Ohio, United States. A simple commercial building in the village&#39;s downtown, it held a prominent place in the community and surrounding region. Named a historic site in the 1980s, it was destroyed by arson in 2010.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The store building was a composite structure: the walls built partially of brick and partially of concrete, while smaller elements featured both stone and wood. A simple rectangle in its plan, and built without a specific architectural style, the store was three stories tall with a five-bay facade: an arched entrance was placed in the center, framed by two large display windows on either side. On the upper stories, each of the five was divided into three smaller bays, and each floor featured similarly sized windows in each of the fifteen smaller bays. To the side, narrower windows faced an alley, with a metal fire escape providing access from the third floor.</p><br>
<h2>Early history</h2><br>
<p>Franklin Township was organized in 1854, almost fifty years after civilized men first built their cabins within its present boundaries. The first village, Milton, was platted in 1816, but its proximity to Wilmot was its ruin, and the township therefore had no more settlements until Strasburg was platted in 1828. In its early years, Strasburg was frequented by rowdy characters of poor reputation, but by the late nineteenth century, it had settled into a stable and quiet trading center for the surrounding area. In such a community, Rudy and G.A. Garver founded a store in 1866, using a log building as their premises. After a newer building was constructed in 1875, they moved into it, and an 1884 history noted their presence among seventeen other village businesses. The Garvers remained in their sturdier building until 1902, when it was destroyed by fire, but undaunted they laid plans for its replacement. Rather than simply rebuilding what was destroyed, they arranged for the construction of a far more extensive operation, and upon its completion later in the year, the Garver Brothers Store sold everything from dry goods to furniture, groceries to shoes, and pianos to carpets. As no other store in the region offered such a wide range of goods, the brothers touted it as the "Worlds Largest Country Store", and before long their clientele extended far past Ohios boundaries.</p><br>
<h2>Final years</h2><br>
<p>In 1980, the Garver Brothers Store was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It qualified for inclusion based on its rôle in local history, with its antique shops particularly attracting attention. Everything came to a sudden end on the night of 13–14 October 2010, when fire completely destroyed the building. Nineteen fire departments responded to the blaze, using so much water that they were forced to draw directly from the Tuscarawas River, but they quickly saw that all their efforts were necessary simply to preserve neighboring buildings. At the same time, other departments were fighting three other fires just a few miles to the north in Beach City and Brewster, and within two days the state fire marshal&#39;s office had determined that all four were arsons. Fires at the other buildings, a church and a pair of vacant businesses, were quickly contained, and none of the fires resulted in injuries.</p><br>

<p>Elm Farm, alsk known as the Sargent Farm, is a historic farm property at 599 Main Street  in Danville, New Hampshire. Established about 1835, it has been in agricultural use since then, with many of its owners also engaged in small commercial or industrial pursuits on the side. The main farmhouse is one of the town&#39;s best examples of Gothic Revival architecture. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Elm Farm is located in rural northern Danville, on the west side of Main Street just south of its junction with Beach Plain Road. The property consists of 85 acre of land, stretching in a relatively narrow strip all the way west to the town line with Sandown. The westernmost portions of the property consists of woods and swamp, while the 30 acre immediately west of the road are given over to crops, pasture, and the farmstead. The farmstead is a typical 19th-century New England connected construction, including a 2-1/2 story farmhouse with Greek Revival and Gothic Revival features, which is attached by a series of two ells to a three-story stable. South of this grouping is a set of outbuildings, including a second stable, cow barn, carriage barn, equipment shed, and hen house. The farmhouse is distinctive in the town as one of its only examples of Gothic architecture.</p><br>
<p>The property has been in agricultural use since at least 1835, when Samuel Sargent Jr. purchased part of the 7th lot of the towns original land grants made in 1760. In addition to farming the land, Bailey manufactured barrels and chairs. His son Bailey operated a variety of businesses, including a cider mill, and offered stabling services. Baileys son Alfred ran a small printing operation here, and his other son Herbert repaired clocks. These businesses were typically conducted out of the second ell of the farmstead, which may have been built specifically for such non-agricultural uses.</p><br>

Many wealthy people built chantry chapels and gave them land to generate an income, in order to maintain a priest to pray for the owner and his family.</p><br>
<p>The Milton Chantry housed a number of priests appointed by the Bishop of Rochester until around 1524. It was then dissolved into Crown hands as part of Henry VIII&#39;s reformation of the churches. The building then became a family home (after a few alterations) and farm, but by the end of the 17th century it had become an inn and tavern name New Tavern.</p><br>
<p>Between 1780 and 1918, New Tavern Fort occupied the area around the chantry building. The tavern was converted into part of the fort&#39;s barracks. The New Tavern Fort was significantly altered between 1868 and 1871 under the direction of Charles George Gordon. The tavern/barracks were restored in 1852 and 1862.</p><br>
<p>In 1932, the fort was converted into a park for the residents of Gravesend. During the World War II, the basement of the chantry chapel was converted into a gas decontamination chamber. Following the war, the chapel was then converted into the local museum named the Chantry Heritage Centre. It is under the care of the Gravesend Local History Society.</p><br>

<p>The May Company Building on Broadway in Downtown Los Angeles, a.k.a. Hamburgers/May Company Department Store and the May Department Store Building, currently named the California Broadway Trade Center, was the flagship store of the May Company California department store chain. It is a contributing property to the NRHP-listed Broadway Theater and Commercial District.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>By the start of the twentieth century, A. Hamburger & Sons had even outgrown their Spring Street location, which had 520 employees working on five floors. The Hamburger family decided to build a much larger store at the southeast corner of Broadway and Eighth, a location that was outside of then current retail district. Construction started in 1905 with a grand opening held in 1908. This location, which was also known as The Great White Store, was the largest department store building west of Chicago at that time and would eventually become the flagship location for the May Company California. At the time that the Great White Store was opened, the store could boast of having one of the first escalators on the West Coast, several restaurants, a drug store with an 80-foot-long soda fountain, grocery store, bakery, fruit store, meat market, USA post office, telegraph office, barber shop, a dentist, a chiropractor, a physician&#39;s office with a fully equipped operating room, a 1,000-seat auditorium, 13 acres of retail space, and 1200 employees. The Los Angeles Public Library was also located on the third floor from 1908 until it was forced to move to a larger location when it outgrew the Hamburger space by 1913. For a short time, Woodbury Business College briefly was also located on the fifth floor.</p><br>
<p>In 1925, the Hamburgers sold their store to the May family of St. Louis for $8.5 million. Thomas and Wilbur Mays, sons of the founder of the May Company, were sent to manage the former Hamburger store. One of the first things that they did was to expand the store again by building adjacent additions on the other parts of the city block.ain by building adjacent additions on the other parts of the city block. After several more years, the May Company store eventually occupied almost the entire block between Broadway and Hill and between Eighth and Ninth Streets. The old Hamburger store was officially rename The May Company in 1927.</p><br>
<p>The department store closed in 1986 and the building was turned into retail on the ground floors and a garment factory on the upper floors.</p><br>
<p>In 2014 it was announced that Waterbridge Capital had agreed to buy the building for an estimated $115–130 million; L.A. City Council member Jose Huizar indicated plans a mixed-use development to include offices, a hotel, stores and/or apartments or condominiums. The acquisition by Waterbridge Capital and New York real estate developer Jack Jangana - Broadbridge LA LLC - was completed on August 20, 2014.</p><br>
<p>A spokesman for the company that helped broker the deal said plans include a 24-month renovation that will result in a "creative campus" similar to Twitters headquarters building in San Francisco.

In the south there were two 100 m long stone walls with palisades. From the site of the former castle, other major hillforts in the region are visible. Archaeological investigations of the outer ramparts turned up arrowheads from the late Vendel Period (550-800 AD), which provided a clue as to the dating of the castle. A number of wooden posts were also found, probably formerly part of the palisades, that were dated to 740 AD. The fort had both an outer and an inner wall.</p><br>
<p>There are 82 such forts known on Gotland. Most of them has an interior surface of less than 800 m&sup2;. The one on Grogarnsberget, however, measures 450 x (45,000 m&sup2;), making it one of the two largest hillforts on the island. House foundations from the Roman Iron Age – the Migration Period – were found inside the fortifications, unlike any other hillforts on the island.</p><br>
<p>The largest hillfort in Scandinavia is Halleberg in Västergötland, Sweden at about 20 km&sup2, the second largest is Lollands Österborg on east Lolland, Denmark at about 5 km&sup2; and the third largest is Torsburgen on Gotland, Sweden at about 1.2 km&sup2;.</p><br>
<p>The Embassy of the United States of America in Havana is the United States of America&#39;s diplomatic mission in Cuba. On January 3, 1961, US President Dwight D. Eisenhower severed relations following the Cuban Revolution of the 1950s. In 1977, President Jimmy Carter and President Fidel Castro signed an Interests Sections Agreement that permitted each government to operate out of its former embassy in Havana and Washington D.C., which were called Interests Sections; they were prohibited from flying their respective flags. Cuban President Raúl Castro and US President Barack Obama restored full diplomatic connections on July 20, 2015.</p><br>
<p>The building housed the United States Interests Section in Havana between 1977 and 2015, which operated under the auspices of the Swiss Embassy (acting as protecting power). On July 1, 2015 it was announced that with the resumption of diplomatic ties, the building resumed its role as the USA Embassy in Cuba on July 20, 2015. The embassy is led by Chargé d&#39;affaires ad interim Ambassador Lawrence Gumbiner.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The embassy was designed in the Modernist—Brutalist style by the architectural firm Harrison & Abramovitz. It is a long and six-story concrete and glass building, completed in 1953. The gardens were designed by Californian landscape architect Thomas Dolliver Church. The contractor for the building was Jaime Alberto Mitrani, PE, also a professor of civil engineering at the University of Havana.</p><br>
<p>The embassy complex is located directly on the Bay of Havana and the José Martí Anti-Imperialist Platform, in proximity to the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs.</p><br>
<p>After the USA diplomatic mission became defunct in 1961, the building was not used by American personnel until the opening of the interests section on September 1, 1977. In 1963, Prime Minister of Cuba Fidel Castro ordered the confiscation of the complex, but action was never taken by the Cuban government, though it still claimed right to the property in 2012.</p><br>
<p>During the period that the complex served as an interests section, the USA was represented by Switzerland, and the Swiss maintained both the embassy complex and its effects. Renovations were completed on the complex in 1997.</p><br>
<p>The building was upgraded from an interests section and returned to its original role as the United States Embassy in Cuba, on July 20, 2015. On August 14, 2015, USA Secretary of State John Kerry officially reopened it; eight congressional lawmakers involved in the policy change attended, and the three Marines (Larry C. Morris, Mike East and Jim Tracy) who had lowered the USA flag at the embassy 54 years earlier presented a new flag, which was then raised by Marines assigned to the post.</p><br>
<h2>Alleged sonic attacks</h2><br>
<p>In August 2017, reports began surfacing that Americans posted at the embassy had been subjected to health-related incidents, dating back to late 2016. Two dozen employees of the State Department reported experiencing what were referred to as "health attacks". The State Department determined that the health problems may have been the result of an attack or else exposure to an as-yet-unknown device, and did not believe the Cuban government is responsible. Affected individuals described mild brain damage similar to a concussion and symptoms such as temporary or permanent hearing loss, memory loss, and nausea. Speculation has centered around a sonic or ultrasonic weapon, however the scientific consensus it that the use of a sonic weapon is implausible. Dr. Timothy Leighton has said "If you’re talking about a ray-gun rifle knocking out someone with ultrasound they can’t hear at a hundred meters — that’s not going to happen".</p><br>
<p>The United States expelled two Cuban diplomats in response to the attacks; the Cuban government offered to cooperate with the US in an investigation of the incidents. In September, the US State Department stated that it was removing non-emergency staff from the US embassy, and warned US citizens not to travel to Cuba. In October 2017, the Associated Press released what it claimed was a recording of the sound some embassy workers heard during the attacks. However, senior neurologists consulted by The Guardian suggested that the health incidents were probably psychosomatic complaints, of the kind commonly known as mass hysteria.</p><br>
<p>James Lewis former Intelligence Community (State Department) official stated that: “We know with 100% certainly that the embassies are under surveillance, and the technology being used could just be crude and over-powered”; additionally he reminded that health problems at the US embassy in Moscow in the 1970s were thought to be linked to the use of microwave surveillance devices.</p><br>
<p>The Maj. John Gilman House is a historic house at 25 Cass Street in Exeter, New Hampshire. Built in 1738, it is a well-preserved example of a Georgian gambrel-roof house, further notable for its association with the locally prominent Gilman family. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The John Gilman House is located north of Exeter&#39;s commercial and civic downtown area, at the southest corner of Cass and Park Streets. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a gambrel roof and clapboarded exterior. Its main facade is five bays wide, with a central entrance flanked by pilasters and topped by a transom and gabled pediment. Windows are topped by shallow projecting cornices on the ground floor, and butt against the eave on the second floor. The windows themselves appear to be c. 1830 Greek Revival replacements, and are narrower and taller than typical Georgian windows. The interior was subjected to a careful restoration of its 18th-century character in the 1960s.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1738 by Colonel John Gilman for his son, also named John. The elder Gilman lived in the nearby Gilman Garrison House, in which his son was born. It is one of only three gambrel-roofed houses to survive in the town from the Georgian period, and it is the least-altered of those. The Gilmans, both father and son, were prominent in the local militia and town affairs. Later residents included Thomas Odiorne, son-in-law of the younger Gilman, who was a successful merchant and manufacturer of equipment and parts for sailing ships.</p><br>
<p>Guttikonda Bilam, also known as Guthikonda Bilam, is a historic cave and a pilin Andhra Pradesh, India. Guttikonda or Guthikonda is the name of a nearby village, while "Bilam" is the Sanskrit word for "cave". There are several caves in the region, collectively known as "Guthikonda Caves&quot Guttikonda Bilam is the most well-known of these caves.</p><br>
<p>The cave is located around 3 km south of the Guttikonda village, which lies 23 km from Gurazala, in the Guntur district.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Palanati Yuddam was fought in 1182AD at Karempudi 20 km from Guttikonda bilam. Palanati Bramha Naidu and his 66 brave warriors have stayed in Guttikonda bilam during the period. Located in the midst of verdant forests, Guthikonda caves will interest tourists as they are magnificent natural formations that will enable you to appreciate the inconceivable creations of nature. The enchantment of the caves is enhanced when you get to know that once upon a time, these caves were inhabited by people belonging to prehistoric times. Archaeological excavations have unearthed a sword holder from these caves belonging to the antediluvian era. A photograph of Guttikonda bilam entrance is published in Palanati Veerula Charitra by Dr.P.V.Acharya.</p><br>
<h2>Biology</h2><br>
<p>No publications report on the biology of the cave till 2008. It was Mr. Shabuddin Shaik, an enthusiastic M. Sc zoology student of Acharya Nagarjuna University, who discovered tiny milky white creature for the first time in cave Guthikonda. Later isopod taxonomist decided to open a new chapter in Indian Phreatoicidea and identified as a new genus and species and named as Andhracoides shabuddin in honor of Mr. Shabuddin Shaik by naming the new species for "his child-like curiosity and inherent scientific interest at Taxonomy, Biodiversity & his concern for environment."</p><br>
<p>The plankton samples of the cave pools, however, yielded only a dense population of stygophilic Mesocyclops sp also during his first visit.</p><br>
<p>The Maupin Section Foremans House is a historic section house in Maupin, Oregon, United States. It recalls the days of the "Last Great Railroad War"  between the rival transportation empires of E. H. Harriman and James J. Hill, as they raced to build routes up the Deschutes River canyon, connecting the mainlines along the Columbia River to the new markets of Central Oregon. Harrimans Des Chutes Railroad Company built the house to the Union Pacific Common Standard Plan for buildings  in 1910. It was one of three buildings in the "country combination station" at Maupin, and served as residence for the maintenance of way foreman for the local section of track. The other two buildings of the station  were demolished by 1968. Most of the Des Chutes Railroad tracks in the canyon were abandoned in 1936, granting Hill the final victory in the race. The road passing in front of the house utilizes the former railroad grade.</p><br>
<p>The Bureau of Land Management acquired the house in 1968.</p><br>
<p>The Greeley House is a historic First Period house on New Hampshire Route 108, east of the center of East Kingston, New Hampshire.

<p>The Greeley House is located on the north side of New Hampshire Route 108, just a few feet from the roadway, at a point where it bends, mainly to avoid the house. It is a 2&frac12;-story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. Its main facade is five bays wide on the first floor and three on the second. The entrance is at the center, framed by a modest surround with a peaked lintel. The rear roof line extends to the first floor, giving the house a saltbox profile, and there is a shed-roof addition on the east side which was added in the 1960s. A gabled dormer projects from the rear roof face.</p><br>
<p>The house is believed to have been built in 1718 by Joseph Greeley. Its prominent location along the major east–west route through the town (between Kingston and Seabrook) has made it a landmark in the town for many years.</p><br>
<p>The Gen. Mason J. Young House, also known as the William Boyd House, is a historic house and connected farm complex at 4 Young Road in Londonderry, New Hampshire. With a building history dating to 1802, it is a well-preserved example of a New England connected farmstead. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Gen. Mason J. Young House is located just off Londonderry&#39;s commercial area of New Hampshire Route 102, at the corner of Young Road and Cross Road. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure with a gable roof and a central chimney. It is five bays wide and three deep with a columned portico (c. 1900) sheltering its front entry, and a single-story porch (dating to the mid-19th century) extending along the side. The interior has well-preserved period woodwork. A two-story wing extends to the rear of the house, which is further extended by a series of sheds connecting the house to a carriage house and dairy barn.</p><br>
<p>The main house is reported by family accounts to have been built in 1802, on a farm that was in active use since 1757. The land was first settled by Mason Boyd, and the house was built by William Boyd. Originally a subsistence farm, it was transformed into a dairy farm in the mid-19th century, delivering milk and other products to Boston by railroad. In the 20th century a shift began toward the production of apples. The property was registered as a Bicentennial Farm in 1976, reflecting over 200 years of ownership by a single family.</p><br>
<p>The Hasselborg Cabin, also known as the Hasselborg Creek Cabin, is a backcountry shelter in the Admiralty Island National Monument, part of Tongass National Forest in Southeast Alaska. It is one of a number of such facilities built by Civilian Conservation Corps  on the Admiralty Island Canoe Route between 1933 and 1937. As built by the CCC, it was a three-sided Adirondack-style log shelter, timber-framed, and measuring about 126" by 106". It is one of only two cabins built on the route that has a fireplace; it is built of brick and stone. It is also distinctive for its floor, which is concrete slab , where most other cabins originally had dirt floors. Its roof was originally wood shakes, but is now corrugated metal.

<p>The Jeremiah Hart House is a historic house at The Hill in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Probably built in the late 18th century, it is a well-preserved example of a late Georgian urban residential structure. It was originally located on Deer Street, and was moved as part of a road widening project. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Jeremiah Hart House stands in The Hill, a cluster of closely spaced historic houses bounded on the north by Deer Street and the east by High Street at the northern edge of downtown Portsmouth. This grouping was created by a road widening project from houses originally located on or near Deer Street. This house stands near the center of the group, east of the Phoebe Hart House and north of the Hart-Rice House. It is a 2&frac12; story wood frame structure, with a side gable roof, clapboarded exterior, and central chimney. Its main facade is four bays wide, with asymmetrical placement of windows around a centered entrance. The entrance is the most elaborate element of the exterior, with pilasters, a transom window, entablature, and full gabled pediment. The interior of the building has a number of original features, including a narrow three-run staircase in the entrance vestibule.</p><br>
<p>This house was originally located on Deer Street, set on a narrow lot with its side facing the street. From its style it dates to the last quarter of the 18th century, and may have been built by Michael Whidden, a master builder who lived across the street from its original location. (Whidden&#39;s House was also moved onto The Hill.)</p><br>
<p>The John Hart House is a historic house at 403 The Hill in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Built in the late 18th century, this comparatively modest house exhibits stylistic changes reflective of architectural trends up to the mid 19th century. It was moved to its present location in the 1970s as part of a road widening project. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The John Hart House stands in The Hill, a cluster of closely spaced historic houses bounded on the north by Deer Street and the east by High Street at the northern edge of downtown Portsmouth. This grouping was created by a road widening project from houses originally located on or near Deer Street. This house is located on the west side of the cluster, just south of the Daniel Pinkham House and west of the Phoebe Hart House. It is a three-story wood frame structure, with a hip roof, two interior chimneys, and a clapboarded exterior, and is oriented facing west. The main facade is five bays wide, with a center entrance sheltered by a Greek Revival portico with Corinthian columns. Its windows are framed by Federal-period eared moulding. The interior includes a Georgian-style central stair, with an arched Georgian window above the landing. Some of the fireplace surrounds reflect Federal and Greek Revival restylings.</p><br>
<p>When first built in the mid-18th century, this house was a two-story wood frame structure. Early in the 18th century a third floor was added, and it was given extensive Federal-style treatment. These alterations included the replacement of original Georgian windows with long windows with eared surrounds. In the 1830s the Greek Revival portico was added, and Victorian fireplaces were also added. Additions were originally in place on the rear of the house, and in the 20th century it had been adapted for use as a nursing home. It was moved to its present location as part of a redevelopment project, and presently houses commercial offices.</p><br>
<p>The Phoebe Hart House is a historic house at The Hill in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, USA. Built about 1808-10, it is a well-preserved example of a middle-class urban Federal style house. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. It now houses professional offices.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The John Hart House stands in The Hill, a cluster of closely spaced historic houses bounded on the north by Deer Street and the east by High Street at the northern edge of downtown Portsmouth. This grouping was created by a road widening project from houses originally located on or near Deer Street. This house is located in the center of the cluster, behind the Henry Sherburne House. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. Its front facade is oriented to the south, toward an open plaza at the center of The Hill. The facade is five bays wide, with slightly asymmetrical placement around a centered entrance. The entrance is the most elaborate part of the facade, with attached columns and a segmented fanlight window, above which is a modillioned gable. The interior retains original finishes, including a central circular staircase.</p><br>
<p>This house was probably built around 1808-10, the lot it originally stood on having been subdivided in 1808. The front entrance surround is one of the most unusual to survive from the Federal period in the city; it was probably based on examples published in architectural pattern books. This level of detail was also not typically found on middle-class housing of the period, of which this is an example. Originally oriented with a side gable end toward Deer Street, it was moved to its present location in the 1970s.</p><br>
<p>The Initial Point of Boundary Between USA and Mexico, Monument No. 258, was first established as a cairn of rocks in 1849 following the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. A white marble shaft was manufactured in New York, transported around Cape Horn on the USS Supply to San Diego, and erected and dedicated at the site in Imperial Beach in June, 1851. The marble monument was an obelisk about 20 ft in height, resting on a marble pedestal. On its top was an inverted acorn to symbolize the strength and stature of the California live oak tree.</p><br>
<p>In 1894 it was found that the initial monument had become so mutilated by visitors that its outlines were nearly destroyed, and its inscriptions partly obliterated. The Barlow-Blanco Commission had the monument renovated in San Diego, reconstructed at the site, and protected with an enclosure in 1894. Excepting for normal wear and tear and some slight vandalism, as of 1974 the marble monument as reconstructed in 1894 still stood at its original site.</p><br>
<p>The significance of the monument is stated in the inscription on the west side of the original marble shaft:</p><br>
<p>"Initial point of Boundary between the United States and Mexico, established by the Joint Commission, 10 October, A.D. 1849, Agreeably to the Treaty dated at the City of Guadalupe, Hidalgo, February 2, A.D. 1848. John B. Weller, USA Commissioner. Andrew B. Gray, USA Surveyor.</p><br>
<p>The monument is the westernmost boundary marker on the international boundary between the United States and Mexico and as such has since its erection and will throughout the future mark the southwestern corner of the Continental United States.</p><br>
<p>Pursuant to President Richard Nixon&#39;s "Legacy of Parks", Mrs. Pat Nixon in August 1971 turned over 372 acre of surplus Navy land, formerly known as Border Field, to the people of California as a beach park. The area is now known as Border Field State Park. In 1994, access to the boundary marker was inhibited from the United States side by Operation Gatekeeper.</p><br>
<p>Baliguian Island  is an inhabited island in northeastern Iloilo, Philippines. It is the westernmost of the Concepcion Islands and politically administered by the municipality of Concepcion. A virtually flat island, Baliguian features a lighthouse to aid in ship navigation.</p><br>
<h2>Location and geography</h2><br>
<p>Baliguian Island is 22.5 km east of Panay Island in the Visayan Sea, making it the furthest of the sixteen Concepcion Islands. Baliguian is 9 mi due east of nearby Igbon Island. Small, flat, and heavily wooded, Baliguian is ringed by a narrow reef and surrounded by deep water.</p><br>
<h2>Lighthouse</h2><br>
<p>The main feature of Baliguian is its lighthouse, situated on the northwest corner of the island. The Baliguian Island Light was built in 1916. Its designations are ARLHS PHI-007, Admiralty F2314, and NGA 14668. The white, octagonal tower is 66 ft high and flashes a white light every seven seconds. The lighthouse is currently active and administered by the Philippine Coast Guard. Rainwater tanks were installed on Baliguian in 2010, as the island until then faced a constant shortage of potable water.</p><br>
<h2>Natural disasters</h2><br>
<h3>Typhoon Haiyan</h3><br>
<p>On November 2013 Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda in the Philippines) destroyed more than 80 percent of homes and pump boats on Baliguian. Four rooms of the island&#39;s single school were also damaged. The island did not suffer any fatalities; however, causing locals to dub their home the "Miracle Island". Several religious and international organizations assisted in relief efforts for Baliguian, including Indigenous Ministries and Wilde and Woollard.</p><br>
<p>Manigonigo Island  is an island in northeastern Iloilo, Philippines. It is one of fourteen islands politically administered by the municipality of Carles. The island&#39;s lighthouse was built by the Spanish during Spanish rule.</p><br>
<h2>Location and geography</h2><br>
<p>Manigonigo Island is 4 mi northeast of Panay Island coast in the Visayan Sea, 1.6 mi east of Panay and 2 mi west of Nabunot Island. The island is small and flat. Two small rocks, the Anegada Rocks, are.75 mi southwest of Manigonigo.</p><br>
<h2>Lighthouse</h2><br>
<p>During Spanish rule of the Philippines, the Spanish built 27 major and 33 minor lighthouses throughout the Philippines, including one on Manigonigo Island. On 6 November 1894, the Spanish government gave notice of their intent to erect a lighthouse on Manigonigo on 15 November that same year. The original tower was a steel tourelle and was prefabricated in France. While the original tower was 34 ft high, the current tower is only 29 ft high; however, the lighthouse&#39;s focal point is still 68 ft high, flashing once every seven seconds. Current designation of the Manigonigo Island lighthouse is ARLHS PHI-090.</p><br>
<p>Mount Gannett is a 9,649 feet peak in the Chugach Mountains of eastern Alaska, United States, located 50 miles east of the city of Anchorage. It was named by Lawrence Martin of the USA Geological Survey in 1911 for Henry Gannett. One arm of the Knik Glacier flows from the ice fields of Mount Gannett&#39;s north and east slopes, and the Colony Glacier rises on the west and southwest slopes, flowing into Inner Lake George. In between, the Gannett Glacier flows down a narrow valley northwest of the summit to join the Knik Glacier. The mountain has an estimated topographic prominence of 4,300 feet.</p><br>
<h2>1952 military transport plane crash</h2><br>
<p>On November 22, 1952, a United States Air Force Douglas C-124 Globemaster II military transport aircraft crashed high on the southern slopes of the mountain. All of the 52 people on board were killed. Remains of the plane and the crash victims began to appear at the foot of the Colony Glacier in 2012.</p><br>
