<p>The Government Indian School, also known as the B.I.A. School and later the City Multipurpose Building, is a historic school building in Haines, Alaska. The building is a 1-1/2 story wood frame structure, 71 ft long and 30 ft wide, built in 1906. It is basically a Cape Cod style structure, an unusual form for Southeast Alaska, and an unusual sight when it was built. About 1/3 of its interior provided living quarters for the schoolmaster, and there were two classrooms on the first floor, and an auxiliary finished space in the loft area that saw several uses during the building&#39;s use as a school. The building is distinctive as a rare early school building built by the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs, and it was the first 20th century structure built in Haines. It served as a school until 1945, after which it was adapted to other public uses. The building is currently hosting the Chilkat Valley Preschool.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The Little Church in the Pines is a c. 1902-1908 building in the former mining town of Salina in Boulder County, Colorado. The church held regular Sunday School classes for children, and services whenever a traveling minister came to town. As the mining boom came to an end and the town&#39;s population shrunk, the building fell into disuse, and briefly served as a mine office before being abandoned. In 1948 it was purchased by a neighborhood group and has been used ever since for nondenominational worship and community events. The Little Church in the Pines was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>During the 2013 Colorado floods, the ground washed out from underneath half of the building, including the bell tower, and emergency supports had to be installed to stabilize the structure until a new foundation could be built and the area refilled.</p><br>
<p>Soco Gap  is a mountain pass between the Plott Balsam Range, to its south, and Balsam Mountain, to its north. Also known as Ahalununyi , meaning "Ambush Place" or Unihaluna , meaning "where they ambushed;" named after when the Cherokees ambushed a party of invading Shawnees, all of which were killed except for one, who was sent back to tell his people of the Cherokee victory.</p><br>
<p>The gap is the eastern point of the Qualla Boundary, which marks the territory held as a land trust for the federally recognized Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. The gap also separates Haywood and Jackson counties and separates the river basins to the French Broad and Little Tennessee.</p><br>
<p>USA Route 19 (Soco Road) traverses through the gap, which connects Cherokee and Maggie Valley. The Blue Ridge Parkway also passes through the gap, providing scenic views along the adjacent ridge lines.</p><br>
<p>Columbia Central Fire Station, also known as Columbia Fire Department Headquarters and Senate Street Station, is a historic fire station located at Columbia, South Carolina. It was built between 1949 and 1951, and consists of two buildings and a structure. The main building is a two-story, rectangular, brick building in the Moderne / International Style. It has a flat roof and features horizontal bands of windows. The one-story, brick fire truck garage building and the main building were constructed in 1949-1950. The drill tower is a six-story reinforced concrete structure built in 1951. The complex served as the Columbia Fire Department’s Headquarters from 1950 until 1995.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<p>Granby Mill Village Historic District is a national historic district located at Columbia, South Carolina.

The mill was initially constructed in 1896-1897, and is a large four-story, rectangular brick building in the Romanesque Revival style. It features two projecting five-story entrance towers. The Granby Mill Village includes a number of “saltbox” style dwellings reminiscent of a New England mill village. The district also includes the mill gatehouse, the two-story mill office building , commercial buildings, the Gothic Revival style Whaley Street Methodist Church, and operatives’ houses.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<p>The Henry Sherburne House is a historic house at 62 Deer Street in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Built about 1766, it is a well-preserved example of late Georgian architecture in the city, distinctive for its scrolled pediment entrance surrounded, the only in situ period example of its style. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Henry Sherburne House stands on the west side of The Hill, a cluster of historic houses southwest of the junction of Deer and High Streets. Many of these houses, the Sherburne House among them, were relocated to this area as part of a road widening project. It is a two story wood frame structure, with a hip roof, clapboarded exterior, set facing west toward Deer Street near its junction with Russell Street. Its front-facing roof is pierced by three gabled dormers, whose scrolled pediments echo that found above the main entrance. The front facade is five bays wide, with the main entrance at its center, flanked by pilasters and topped by an entablature and elaborate broken scrolled pediment. The roof line is adorned with a heavy modillioned cornice.</p><br>
<p>This house was built sometime between 1766 and 1770, and originally faced east toward Deer Street prior to being moved to this location. It is an unusually large house for this part of Portsmouth in the late Georgian period. Its front doorway is also distinctive, as the only known in situ scrolled pediment doorway to survive from the period in the entire state. It is believed that this pediment was used as a model by preservationist Wallace Nutting when he undertook the restoration of the Wentworth-Gardner House.</p><br>
<p>Columbia Historic District II is a national historic district located at Columbia, South Carolina.

<p>The Smith&#39;s Corner Historic District is a historic district encompassing a historic 19th-century rural village center. Covering about 105.5 acre, the district is centered on the junction of Main Avenue , South Road, and Chase Road in northwestern South Hampton, abutting its border with East Kingston. The village was important as a stagecoach stop. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Smith&#39;s Corner is located in northwestern South Hampton, a rural community in southeastern New Hampshire. New Hampshire Route 107A, Main Avenue in South Hampton, was historically a stagecoach route connecting Amesbury and Newburyport, Massachusetts to Kingston, New Hampshire. This part of South Hampton was agricultural from its settlement in the 18th century, but when the stage route was opened in the 19th century, it developed as a service stop on that route. It featurered several taverns, of which the Smith House at Main Avenue and Stagecoach Lane is one that still survives. The George Goodwin House, located a short way west of that junction, was also given a tavern license. Other properties around the junction were used in other aspects of service in the stagecoach industry.</p><br>
<p>The buildings in the district are all now residential and/or agricultural in use. The district includes one of South Hampton&#39;s oldest houses, the c. 1750 Moses Eaton House on Stagecoach Road, and several other 18th-century Georgian houses. The Eaton House is a particularly well-preserved example of a New England connected farmstead. The most prominent buildings were built in the mid-19th century for the stage trade, and are Greek Revival character.</p><br>
<p>Smyth Public Library refers to several buildings that have served as the public library of Candia, New Hampshire, United States. The current building, which opened in 2002, is located at 55 High Street. The previous library building at 194 High Street was constructed in 1932 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<p>Early library history in Candia dates back to 1824 with the formation of the Candia Library Literary Society. Over the course of many years it changed its name, but there was always a lending library of some description.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the middle of the nineteenth century, Frederick Smyth was a Candia native who had left his hometown and become successful in business and politics. He made a considerable fortune in banking and railroads, and was governor of New Hampshire from 1852 to 1854 and again in 1864.</p><br>
<p>In 1888 the private library system in Candia was in severe straits. Local residents called upon then ex-Governor Smyth for help. He pledged $1,000 to open up a library for public use. The first meeting of the Smyth Public Library Association was in May 1888, and Candia had its first library. Fundraising began to buy books, and the library had 740 titles when it first opened. The building it occupied then is known as the Fitts Museum today.</p><br>
<p>Due to the generous nature of Governor Smyth and his wife Marion, a sum of money was donated to the Library Association to build a new library. The resulting brick building on the hill at 194 High Street opened in 1932; it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<h2>New building</h2><br>
<p>Candias new 6,200 ft&sup2; Smyth Public Library opened in December 2002. It is situated between the Candia Elementary School, the Candia Park, and the new (2004-5) Candia Town Pond & Natural Area; it is linked to all three via a new sidewalk and trail system. Among the librarys features is a working fireplace in the leisure reading area, an art display gallery, and an outdoor reading garden with extensive perennial flower plantings and comfortable benches overlooking the pond.</p><br>
<p>The mission of Smyth Public Library is to provide and ensure access to books, information, materials, and services that fulfill the educational, informational, cultural, recreational, and professional needs of Candia’s residents in a welcoming, respectful, and supportive environment.</p><br>
<p>The Bivings-Converse House is a historic house located at 1 Douglas Street near Glendale, Spartanburg County, South Carolina.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>It was built in about 1836, and is a 2 1/2-story frame mansion in a vernacular Roman Revival (or Greek Revival) style. It has a gable roof and front and rear porches with fluted Roman Doric order columns. About 1890, two Victorian bays and a kitchen wing was added. It was the home of Dr. James Bivings (1781-1869), prominent local textile pioneer, and Dexter Edgar Converse (1829-1899), industrialist, textile entrepreneur, and founder of Converse College.</p><br>
<p>The house has had a number of structural problems in recent decades, especially since it was vacated in around 1961. The original wooden floors were replaced in the 1970s due to termite damage. The original wooden shingled roof was redone with standard asphalt in 1992, but as of 1995 the structure was vacant and had been subjected to vandalism and water damage. It has remained in a state of disrepair as recently as 2015. The shutters on the exterior have been removed and the windows have been boarded up.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 26, 1995.</p><br>
<p>Montpelier Mansion, sometimes referred to as "Montpelier I", was a house in Fulton, Maryland within Howard County, Maryland, United States. The Georgian style building was built circa 1740 and demolished following a 1994 historic survey with addendum and photos dating as late as August 1995.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1711, Henry Ridgely III (1690–1749) patented the 307 acres of land in the Howard district of Anne Arundel County called Broken Land, and in 1719 patented Ridgely&#39;s Great Park with his brother in law Thomas Worthington. The Montpelier house was constructed by Colonel Henry Ridgely IV (born 1728) and his wife Ann Dorsey (1730–1767) circa 1770. His daughter Ann Ridgely married Major Thomas Snowden, building a manor house in Laurel also named Montpelier. Prior to building the house, Ridgely IV raised volunteers in 1752 to fight in the French and Indian War. From 1760 to 1779, Ridgely served as justice to Anne Arundel County.</p><br>
<p>Montpelier was a two-and-a-half-story Georgian style building with a central hall. The brick building rested on a stone foundation with stucco facing, later covered by layers of shingles and siding. A large wooden barn and silo were onsite with the property. The property was later owned by Herbert Wessel.</p><br>
<p>The property was purchased by Hopkins Road Limited Partnership. In 1994, a historic survey was undertaken declaring there was not enough integrity of the site to be historic. Howard County Department of Planning and Zoning rezoned the historic property to PEC (Planned Employment Center). Montpelier was completely demolished to build the MP5 commercial office building adjoining the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab research park. Maple Lawn Developer Jeffery Greenburg did not preserve the historic building or 12-acre site like Laurels Montpelier. In May 1996 the building was burned, then torn down. Montpelier was one of many historical buildings in the region with valuable real estate that was lost to fire, including Troy Hill (1990), Avondale Mill (1991), St. Marys College(1997), Ammendale Normal Institute (1998), Phelps Log Cabin – moved from North Laurel to Elkridge (2001), and Henryton State Hospital (2007, 2011). A lone indication of the historic site&#39;s existence is the road to the facility named Montpelier Road.</p><br>

<p>Bon Haven, also known as The Cleveland House, was an historic home located in Spartanburg, Spartanburg County, South Carolina. It was built about 1884, and was a two-story, brick Second Empire style dwelling with 1920s Neo-Classical style additions. It featured a mansard roof, central tower and massive Ionic order columns and portico. Its builder, John B. Cleveland, was a founder and trustee of Converse College, a trustee of Wofford College, and played a role in the establishment of Spartanburg’s city school system.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>Today (April 2017) Bon Haven is in danger of being demolished. Left to rot by its owner the property is in a state of despair. The owners have pulled a demolition permit though a demolition date has not been set. A couple from Greenville SC have offered to purchase Bon Haven for ~$380,000 and have promised to historically restore the property and make it a venue or bed and breakfast. The owners have not responded to the offer.</p><br>
<p>Update 9-30-17: Bon Haven was demolished on September 25, 2017 around 12 pm local time. (information courtesy of WSPA.com link provided below)</p><br>

<p>Daniel Morgan Monument is a historic monument located at Spartanburg, Spartanburg County, South Carolina. The statue was designed by John Quincy Adams Ward and the monument erected in 1881. The monument commemorates the centennial of the victory at the Revolutionary War Battle of Cowpens and its hero, General Daniel Morgan. The statue stands on a columnar granite shaft on an octagonal base designed by noted Charleston architect, Edward Brickell White. In 1960, the monument was moved about 100 yards across Morgan Square to its east end. However, in 2005 as part of a larger project involving the redesign and reconstruction of Morgan Square, the monument was returned to its original position at the corner of West Main and Magnolia Streets and its original orientation, facing Cowpens National Battlefield.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>Marshalee Plantation, sometimes referred to as "Lyndwood" or "Markham", was a plantation located in Elkridge, Maryland in Howard County, Maryland, United States.</p><br>
<p>The plantation was the home of Rebecca Snowden and Confederate Col. Charles Marshall, the aide-de-camp to Robert E. Lee. Marshall drafted Lee&#39;s Farewell Address. Rebecca was the daughter of Col Thomas Snowden of Montpelier</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>James C. Adams built the two story home on 252 acres with stone construction and stucco coating in 1845, naming it Lyndwood. The walls measured 20 inches thick. In 1876, Col. Marshall purchased the property, renaming it "Markham". Outbuildings included a log gatekeepers house. In 1902 Marshall died, passing on the property to his granddaughter. In 1939 Col. Randolph Coyle and his wife purchased the property, renaming it "Marshalee", a combination of the names of Col. Marshall and General Lee. Modern Marshalee drive in Elkridge and Ellicott City is named after the manor. The property was subdivided and reduced to 200 acres and purposefully left vacant. In 1976, the property was purchased by Joel G. Greer Jr. Properties/Marriott Corporation, who had sought to build a Baltimore-Washington corridor amusement park and were denied zoning.</p><br>
<p>The plantation house was destroyed by fire in 1978. The property has since been developed to build the "Timbers at Troy" golf course, paid for with Howard County Bonds.</p><br>
<p>Located Glenwood in Howard County, Maryland, United States, Ellerslie Plantation.</p><br>
<p>The Elerslie slave plantation was built on the lands of Captain Thomas Hobbs given to his daughter Amelia. Jasper and Amelia Peddicord built a twin side-by-side house around a log hunting lodge built about 1763. In 1830 Richard Snowden purchased the land for a wedding present. In 1835, Nicholas Snowden of Montpeiler married Elizabeth Ridgley Warfield. Richard and his sons left to pursue the California Gold Rush. The House was purchased in 1845 by Basil Crapster who expanded the house to a mirrored layout. In 1945 Jaessie Hakes and his wife purchased the manor and 132 acres of surrounding land plus adjoining properties which have been subdivided for residential construction.</p><br>
<p>The manor is a two and one-half story house with stone construction. Outbuildings include a stone spring house and wood barn built in the late 1700s.</p><br>
<p>Bethesda is located in Ellicott City, Maryland within Howard County, Maryland, United States. The home is sometimes mistakenly referred to as "Dower House" because a small dower house exists on the property. A "dower" is a widows share for life of her husbands estate, so a dower house is where a widowed mother would live when her son and his family inherited and moved into the main house.</p><br>
<p>The foundation of the original house was found using ground penetrating radar to the west of the existing structure. The center portion of the existing house is the oldest; dendrochronology revealed that the trees for the wood in that portion of the house were felled the winter of 1827–1828. Dendrochronolgy also revealed that the large granite section of the house to the west was added in 1841. The east section was added in 1960 by owner John M. DeBoy. While the house looks wide from the street, it is only one room deep. Outbuildings include a smoke house, a carriage house and the stone "Dower House" which may have been built in the early 1830s to serve as a summer kitchen.</p><br>
<p>Bethesda rests on a collection of surveyed properties totaling 1000 acres named "Long Reach", "Chews Resolution Manor", "Search Enlarged", "Search", and "Dorsey&#39;s Search" (448 Acres). The land grant was given to Maj Edward Dorsey (1646–1705) in 1682. When Edward Dorsey died, he willed the land to his nephew, Caleb Dorsey of "Belmont" in Elkridge, Maryland. Caleb gave the land to his daughter, Mary, when she married Michael Pue, an Irish doctor. They are the first people known to live on the property, and they lived there in 1790 when the newly formed United States of America conducted its first tax assessment. In 1769, the "Bethesda Old Place Farm" home was expanded on the property and run as a tobacco-producing plantation with 26 slave workers. Two successive generations of Pues also lived there. The property was struck by a tornado in 1858, and stayed in the Pue family until 1859. It was purchased by Thomas Lishear, a sea captain. He had three daughters who never married, and they lived in the house until their deaths. The house was later owned by Dr. George B. Sybert. By 1943, the property had been subdivided to 237 remaining acres. In 1954, the Columbia Hills Corporation developed the land leaving just 8.3 acres surrounding the house. By 1965, the land was subdivided down to three acres. Howard Research and Development purchased most of the original Long Reach property between 1963 and 1966 for the development of Columbia.</p><br>

<p>The Carithers Store Building was a historic commercial building located adjacent to USA Route 136 on the northwest side of Village Square in Table Grove, Illinois. The two-story frame building was built in 1871; its design features Greek Revival and Italianate elements. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987 as the only surviving two-story frame commercial building in the Table Grove area. The building is no longer standing.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building was constructed in 1871 to house a mercantile store owned by brothers William and John H. Carithers. The store was one of several new commercial buildings built in Table Grove in the 1870s, as the village experienced a period of business growth after receiving Rockford, Rock Island and St. Louis Railroad service in 1870. The two-story building, which included office space and a canopy to show goods outdoors, signified that the Carithers brothers expected their store to be successful and long-lasting enough to support such a large building. The store was profitable into the 20th century, as evidenced by Johns purchase of a large home in 1897 and the stores inclusion on the Plat of Table Grove in 1912. Johns son Dwight B. Carithers and the brothers nephew William L. Hipsley took over the store in 1898; Hipsley assumed full control after Johns death in 1902, as Dwight took over the Carithers family farm in Johns place. Hipsley managed the store until 1922, after which time the building was used as a rented storefront, a Sunday school, and a storage area.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The two-story wood frame store featured Greek Revival and Italianate elements in its design, reflecting a contemporary view that even functional buildings should have architectural ornaments. Broken pediments with dentillated eaves covered both gable ends of the building. Greek Revival-inspired pilasters marked three of the building&#39;s corners. The tall, narrow windows of the building had arched hoods, a typical Italianate feature.</p><br>
<p>At the time of the building&#39;s nomination to the National Register, it was the only surviving two-story frame commercial building within a 15 mi radius of Table Grove. The building was consequently considered a significant local example of its type, as similar buildings had once existed in nearby communities but had been lost to demolition and decay. However, recent photographs of the site indicate that the building is no longer standing.</p><br>
<p>Old Woodruff High School is a historic high school building located at Woodruff, Spartanburg County, South Carolina. It was built in 1925, and is a two-story, modified “H” plan stuccoed masonry building in the Collegiate Gothic style. It consists of a three-part center section with two perpendicular wings. The building has a flat roof with parapet, Gothic arches, recessed entrances framed by pointed arches. The building housed a high school until 1953 when Woodruff High School was constructed, then used as a middle school and later an elementary school. In 1978 the City of Woodruff acquired old Woodruff High School and adapted it for use as its city hall and police headquarters.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<p>James M. Davis House is a historic house and national historic district located at Pelham, Spartanburg County, South Carolina.</p><br>

<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 7, 2010.</p><br>
<p>The Montgomery Building, listed on the National Register of Historic Places is an iconic building located on Church Street in Spartanburg, Spartanburg County, South Carolina. It was built in 1924, and is a ten-story, nine-bay-wide, steel frame skyscraper faced in precast concrete. It housed the offices of textile companies, cotton brokers, and factories. The building also housed a theatre/auditorium space, a radio and television station. The Montgomery Building was the tallest building in Spartanburg until the 1950s. In 2016, a developer announced that they are planning to renovate the building for mixed-use to include apartments, offices and retail. As of Spring 2017, restoration is underway. It is expected to be completed in Fall 2018.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>For almost a century, the Montgomery Building has been a historic structure in Spartanburg. When it was built, Spartanburg County had become one of the two largest counties in the state. By the early 1920s, textiles and railroads had made Spartanburg the Hub City, a prosperous and forward-looking community in the Carolina Piedmont. The city’s business leadership recognized that the area’s increasing number of professionals and businessmen needed more good quality office space. The building took its name from the Montgomery family, one of the leading families of textile entrepreneurs in the area. It was built on the site of Captain John Montgomery’s home, which reflects that up to that point, North Church Street between downtown and the Wofford College campus was largely a residential area. Montgomery had founded the Spartan Mill on the north side of Spartanburg, and three of his sons wound up in different branches of the family textile business.</p><br>
<p>The new 10-story building sat at the northern edge of the city’s business district, on its main north-south street, Church Street. It was only a few blocks from Morgan Square, then as now the city’s principal public gathering space. Most of the city’s shops and business were only a few minutes’ walk from the building. In the mid-1920s, before widespread access to cars, Spartanburg was a walking city, with most of the city’s 25,000 residents living within a mile or so of the central business district. When it opened in 1924, the Montgomery Building was the tallest building in the city, eclipsing the Andrews Building on Morgan Square by two stories. It held the title of tallest building until the early 1950s, and was the city’s tallest commercial building until the late 1980s. (The two taller buildings were apartment buildings.)</p><br>
<p>One of the building’s first significant tenants was Lockwood Greene, the engineering company that built many of the area’s textile mills. They were so involved with the Piedmont’s textile growth that they finally moved their offices to Spartanburg. Perhaps it is no coincidence that Lockwood Greene had designed the Montgomery Building. A number of local textile companies moved their offices into the new building, including the Pacolet Manufacturing Company, which was one of the Montgomery family’s companies. Local textile powerhouses Inman Mills, Arcadia Mills, and the Deering-Milliken Mills all occupied space at some point in the Montgomery Building, as did the South Carolina Cotton Manufacturers Association.</p><br>
<p>The Montgomery Building was home to more than just mill engineers and mill management. In 1926, shortly after it opened, its tenants included several physicians, several attorneys, several real estate agents, and a number of life insurance companies. Other businesses included a cotton broker, the local offices of the Clinchfield Railroad, and the local offices of a coal mining and sales company. Spartanburg’s Chamber of Commerce, the Community Chest, and the county tuberculosis association also had offices in the building. On the ground floor, a ladies’ clothing and hat store, a post office, and the theater were among the tenants. After 1930, South Carolina’s first AM radio station, WSPA, operated out of the Montgomery Building.</p><br>
<p>In the 1950s, the building was alive with activity. Some of the tenants included the Ward and Covington Travel Agency, several real estate companies, several life insurance companies, several attorneys, the Harwood Beebe Civil Engineering firm, and some physicians and dentists. Future governor Donald Russell had his law office on the 8th floor. The Spartanburg County Foundation also occupied space on the 4th floor. The ground floor housed a pharmacy, a flower shop, a barber shop, and a beauty salon, among other shops. Several government offices had space in the building. The US Department of Agriculture took up large parts of several floors, with its Soil Conservation Service and related offices. The Department of Labor had offices there, as did the South Carolina Tax Commission. Truly, this was the premier office space in the community.</p><br>
<p>Even in the mid-1960s, the building remained relatively full, with the same complement of insurance agents, physicians, dentists, and real estate agents. Many of the city’s leading attorneys (one of whom was the mayor in that decade) had their offices in the building, drawn no doubt to the proximity of the Spartanburg County and federal courthouses. Most of the federal government offices were gone, though Governor Donald Russell still had a law office there. Lockwood Greene had taken over the entire 10th floor, and the ground floor still had a collection of barber and beauty shops, a pharmacy, and a branch of the post office. Interestingly enough, a local labor union also had an office there, as did the local offices of the Clinchfield Railroad and Atlantic Coast Line Railroad.</p><br>
<p>In the decades after World War II, the city of Spartanburg continued to grow, and the community’s prosperity led the city’s boundaries to expand. In the years before World War II, Spartanburg had been a compact, walkable city. But the city’s expansion, along with greater ownership of cars, led many Spartans to move further away from downtown. New neighborhoods on the city’s east and west sides drew young families, and new shopping centers pulled attention away from the historic downtown. The neighborhoods close to downtown entered a period of steady decline. By the 1970s, the city saw a growing number of vacant buildings and storefronts around downtown. In a well-meaning but ultimately wrong decision, the city decided to brick over two blocks of Main Street, turning it into a pedestrianized Main Street Mall. That move took a struggling downtown and ended its reign as the city’s premier shopping and office district.</p><br>
<p>The Montgomery Building suffered to some extent along with downtown. The building’s, which took up much of the lower floors, closed. By 1980, the building still had a few loyal tenants. A sandwich shop, barbershop, and a few random offices occupied the ground floor, along with WFBC TV Channel 4, the Greenville NBC affiliate, which had moved its Spartanburg office into the building. Several attorneys had stayed, no doubt because access to the courthouse outweighed any desire to have newer offices. Southern Bell had taken over the top two floors, and Lockwood Greene continued to have offices on the 6th floor and in various other parts of the building. A few other professionals continued to work there. But by 1992, much of the building was vacant, with offices clustered on the first, fourth, and fifth floors. Channel 4 remained on the ground floor, and The Paper, a local weekly newspaper, had offices on the 5th floor. As late as the early 2000s, the Palmetto Conservation Foundation and the Hub City Writers Project had space in the building.</p><br>
<p>Throughout its storied history, the Montgomery has stood at the crossroads not only of two major highways – both carrying US highway designation – but metaphorically, of downtown. Just blocks from Morgan Square, it continues to sit on a prominent corner within walking distance of the city’s cultural center, the regional state university’s business school, a new co-op grocery store, the 9-story downtown Marriott, and the courthouse. The neighborhoods near downtown have experienced their own revitalization, and downtown has seen tens of millions of dollars in investment in the past decade. Built during the early 1920s, a boom decade in Spartanburg’s history, The Montgomery Building stands poised to take advantage of and contribute to a new boom decade in the early 21st century.</p><br>
<p>The Montgomery Building, which remains the third tallest downtown, is still an iconic structure, reminding residents of and visitors to the city of its past successes, recent challenges, and future possibilities.</p><br>
<h3>Carolina Theatre</h3><br>
<p>The theatre built alongside the office building was originally called the Montgomery Theatre. Including floor seating and two balconies, the theatre seated a total of 1300 patrons. It was the largest theatre in Spartanburg, and hosted a variety of touring musicals, plays, and vaudeville acts. In 1932, the Wilby-Kincey Company took over management and renamed it the Carolina Theatre, installing a dazzling exterior marquee. In addition to stage shows, the Carolina began showing motion pictures and became the citys premier first-run movie theater. In 1956, though now primarily a movie theater, the Carolina hosted a live performance by Elvis Presley. Over the years, the Carolina underwent a series of renovations to "modernize" the interior for moviegoers. A 1970 renovation in particular removed or covered most of the theatres original architectural details and flourishes. Soon after, the Carolina closed, as audiences now preferred to patronize suburban cinemas and multiplexes.</p><br>
<h2>Renovation</h2><br>
<p>The is planned to bring 72 apartments and several new office users, restaurants and retail establishments to downtown.</p><br>
<p>Greenville-based developer BF Spartanburg LLC revealed its plan for the 92-year-old office building, which it purchased via a voluntary cleanup contract with the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control.</p><br>
<p>In the plan for this mixed-use facility, the ground floor will include 10,600 square feet of retail and restaurant space, the second floor will have 11,700 square feet of office space, while the upper eight floors will be occupied by renovated, one- and two-bedroom residential apartments that will range from 471 to 1,465 square feet. Residential amenities including a fitness center and storage units will be in the basement.</p><br>
<p>It is a unique renovation project in that the building’s thousands of precast concrete exterior panels will be replaced with replicated panels made of modern materials and fit to historic standards. The original facade panels were cast using an inferior concrete mix and flawed techniques which, over time, caused the panels to buckle and deteriorate. Molds will be made from the original panels, sharpened by an artist to capture all the details, and new panels will be created as exact replicas (to historic standards) using the molds.</p><br>
<p>The developer began renovations on the 10-story building in early 2017 and estimates the project will be completed around late-2018.</p><br>
<p>The Carolina Theatre is not part of this current renovation project. However, the theatre has been donated to Palmetto Trust for Historic Preservation, who plans to raise money to restore it in the coming years.</p><br>
<p>The Montgomery Building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<p>Frank Evans High School, also known as Evans Junior High School, is a historic high school building located at Spartanburg, Spartanburg County, South Carolina. It was built in 1922, with additions completed in 1925 and 1928. It is a three-story, Collegiate Gothic style, masonry school building. The school became a middle school in 1959 when the new Spartanburg High School was built.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.</p><br>
<p>In summer 2009, Spartanburg Community College announced plans for a downtown Spartanburg presence, utilizing the historic Evans Building. Their goal was to provide a campus that would offer convenient access for under-served city residents. Classes began in Fall 2013 at the renovated building, referred to by SCC as the Evans Academic Center.</p><br>
<p>The building renovation received the 2015 Adaptive Reuse Citation Award from the American Institute of Architects’ South Carolina Chapter. The building also earned a LEED Silver certification.</p><br>
<p>Drayton Mill is a historic textile mill complex located near Spartanburg, Spartanburg County, South Carolina. The complex includes the distinctive Tudor Revival company store and office building, constructed in 1919. Other buildings and structures include the three-story, rectangular, red brick spinning mill  with later additions, a cotton warehouse , a two-story weaving building , a 1,500,000 gallon mill pond, two water towers, two pump buildings, and an information center.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.</p><br>
<h2>Redevelopment</h2><br>
<p>From 2014 to 2017, the mill complex underwent a $60 million redevelopment, making it the largest historic renovation project in South Carolina&#39;s history.</p><br>
<p>In 2016, Charlotte-based TMS Development completed a $35 million renovation of the spinning and weaving buildings into 289 apartments as the first phase of the project, known as Drayton Mills Lofts. In addition to apartments, Drayton Mills Lofts includes several common areas, a fitness center, an outdoor pool, and artwork made from repurposed textile equipment throughout the interior of the two buildings.</p><br>
<p>In 2017, Montgomery Development Group completed a second phase of redevelopment of the warehouses and company store into 60,000-square-feet of commercial space, known as Drayton Mills Marketplace. As of summer 2017, two restaurants, a coffee shop, a fitness studio and a corporate office have opened or announced leases. The developer hopes to attract additional, similar tenants to the Marketplace as part of their vision for a live-work-play community.</p><br>
<p>A 2-mile long, public, paved multi-use trail connecting the mill to nearby Mary Black Hospital was completed in 2015. There are plans to connect the trail to others in Spartanburg as part of a larger system of greenways that will eventually span 21 miles.</p><br>
<h3>Future Developments</h3><br>
<p>The renovation of the Drayton Mills complex is expected to spur investment in the adjacent community and on the east side of Spartanburg as a whole. Already, a new $36 million elementary school is under construction nearby on land donated by Pacolet Milliken. They own a significant amount of land in the Drayton area and plan to develop it into a mix of housing and commercial uses over the next several years.</p><br>
<p>Rip Raps Plantation, also known as the James McBride Dabbs House, is a historic plantation house and national historic district located near Sumter, Sumter County, South Carolina.

<p>Derventio, sometimes described as Derventio Brigantium  in order to distinguish it from other places called Derventio, was a Roman fort and settlement located beneath the modern town of Malton in North Yorkshire, England. The fort is positioned 18 miles north-east of Eboracum on the River Derwent.</p><br>
<h2>Site name</h2><br>
<p>The Roman name for the Malton military complex first appears in the Antonine Itinerary of the late-second century. It is also mentioned in the 4th/5th century Notitia Dignitatum as Deruentione - the last auxiliary garrison "at the disposal of the Right Honourable Duke of the Britains".</p><br>
<h2>Archaeological investigations</h2><br>
<p>Initial investigations at the site were undertaken by Philip Corder and John Kirk in the 1930s. The excavated material from this site formed the core collection of the Malton Museum. These excavations took in both the defences and interior buildings of the north-east corner of the fort and trial trenches in the south-west of the fort. A further series of excavations between 1949 and 1952 by the Ministry of Works in the civilian settlement uncovered multiple phases of activity as well as a road, several buildings and a mosaic.</p><br>
<p>Timber and stone structures were identified during excavations on the fort in 1970 by Leslie Peter Wenham. A complex building sequence was revealed, with major phases occurring during the Trajanic, Severan, Constantian and Theodosian periods. The south and west defences of an early Roman military work were confirmed beneath the vicus buildings, very likely a southern annexe of the known fort. These additional defences comprised pf a turf rampart 16 ft (4.9m) wide, backing a ditch 6 ft (1.8m) wide and 3½ft (1.2m) deep.</p><br>
<h2>The fort</h2><br>
<p>The earliest secure construction of a fort at Malton was in the AD 70s under Agricola, contemporary with the nearby fortress at Eboracum. Built on the north side of the River Derwent, this original phase was in timber, with the wall being rebuilt in stone in the early second century. The presence of the Ala shows that for at least part of its history, Derventio was capable of housing a mounted cavalry unit.</p><br>
<p>Only a single unit has been clearly associated with occupation at this site, the Ala Gallorum Picentiana (The Picentine wing of Gauls). The single record of this unit is an altar dedicated by the Prefect Candidus, from the ruins of the Severan bathhouse. It remains unclear when the Ala Gallorum Picentiana were first established at Malton and when they left.</p><br>
<h2>Civilian settlement</h2><br>
<p>As with many Roman forts, a civilian settlement grew up around the established military base. The evidence at Malton shows extramural settlement surrounding the south gate of the fort and crossing to the south side of the river, following the roads leading away from the fort. Many buildings were discovered, the most elaborate of which was found some 150 ft south of the fort, measured 90 ft by 30 ft and included heated floors. One mid-second century structure contained circular baking ovens. To the west of the road a series of rectangular buildings of an average size of 25 by 40 ft stood closely compacted together and have been interpreted as workshops or store-houses; most of the pottery from this area, including much local ware, and coin evidence dates this area to the second half of the third and the first half of the fourth century. It has been suggested that a spring in the north-east of the civilian settlement may have been the source for the bath-house, although the structure has not been located. A canal, dug in 1810, destroyed any of the structures which may have been close to the line of the river.</p><br>
<h2>Trade and economy</h2><br>
<p>The fort lies on the north banks of the River Derwent, the civilian settlement on the south site. The Roman road network provides access to the east coast and to larger settlements like Eboracum.</p><br>
<p>Evidence exists for the working of bronze, iron and pewter. The locally sourced jet was worked at the site into jewellery. A single inscription, from beneath the New Malton Church, offered a dedication to the Genius of the place and to wish good luck to a young slave inheriting a goldsmith&#39;s shop, an otherwise unique inscription in Roman Britain.</p><br>
<h2>Religion</h2><br>
<p>No temples are currently known from Derventio. A single inscription is dedicated to Mars Rigus.</p><br>
<h2>Post-Roman</h2><br>
<p>A motte-and-bailey castle was built by the de Vesci family over the west corner of the Roman fort in the 11th Century. This was demolished in the 17th century when a mansion was built on the site by Lord Eure. The Dark Age settlement is the setting for much of the action in An East Wind Blowing by Australian author Mel Keegan.</p><br>
<h2>Visible remains</h2><br>
<p>The original earthworks are still visible in the centre of the modern town in an area known as Orchard Fields.</p><br>
<p>Collections from excavations at Derventio formed part of the Malton Museum. The museum closed in 2012 and is temporarily exhibiting some material in the Parish Rooms, Malton. Roman material from Malton can also be found in the Yorkshire Museum.</p><br>
<p>Lime Lake is a freshwater lake located in Cleveland Township, Leelanau County, Michigan, approximately two miles north of the Village of Maple City, Michigan.</p><br>
<p>The lake is located in a basin setting of wooded rolling sand hills approximately 3 miles south of Good Harbor Bay and the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. The M-22 M-22, a State of Michigan scenic heritage route, skirts Lime Lake to the north.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The lake is approximately 1.6 miles long, from south to north, and 1.1 miles wide, from east to west, and 65 ft at its deepest. It covers 670 acres.</p><br>
<p>Lime Lake is part of the Good Harbor Bay watershed. In addition to a number of small creeks and springs, it is fed by Lime Creek at the southwestern corner of the lake. Shetland Creek flows out of the north end of the lake and into Little Traverse Lake, and from there Shalda Creek flows out of Little Traverse Lake and into Good Harbor Bay on Lake Michigan.</p><br>
<p>Migratory fish from Lake Michigan have access to Lime Lake through this connection when there are no beaver dams or other natural obstructions. Chinook salmon have been observed spawning in Lime Creek.</p><br>
<p>Lime Lake has a healthy fish community with abundant species diversity including brown trout, largemouth bass, northern pike, and smallmouth bass.</p><br>
<p>The south and north ends of the lake feature lowland swamps dominated by cedar, hemlock, and birch trees. Rolling hillsides to the east and west feature upland hardwoods and conifers.</p><br>
<p>Teichner Preserve, a 41-acre parcel located on the northeast shore of the lake, was gifted to the Leelanau Conservancy in 1996. Open to the public, a trail and boardwalk lead through extensive wetlands and forested lowlands to the lake shore.</p><br>
<p>The Lime Lake Association is the riparian association representing property owners on Lime Lake.</p><br>
<h2>Lumber-era history</h2><br>
<p>In the late 19th century the lumber industry dominated the area. The Lime Lake Lumber Company mill was constructed around 1880. Timber harvested from the surrounding land was cut at the mill, and then hauled down a 3-mile plank road to Good Harbor Bay for shipping. The northeastern corner of the lake has some slabwood remnants easily visible on the shallow bottom.</p><br>
<h2>Geological history</h2><br>
<p>Lime Lake is a glacial lake, formed by natural and geologic forces.</p><br>
<p>With the re-treat of the Laurentian Glacier, approximately 11,000 BP (before present), and the ice burden gone, the earth’s crust in the northern part of the region began to rise. Over time the shoreline of the proglacial Lake Algonquin Lake Algonquin evolved with long peninsulas and bays becoming truncated from the main body lake to form separate lakes.</p><br>
<p>At Good Harbor Bay, Lime Lake as well as neighboring Bass and School lakes, all at an elevation of 620 feet, were closed off early during the Lake Algonquin stage (about 7,000 years ago).</p><br>
<p>During the Lake Nipissing stage (about 6,000 to 4,000 years ago), a crescent-shaped belt of dunes closed off Little Traverse Lake.</p><br>
<p>Norris Lake is a reservoir that is located in Anderson, Campbell, Claiborne, Grainger, and Union counties in Tennessee. The lake was created by the Norris Dam at the Cove Creek Site on the Clinch River in 1936 by the TVA for flood control. The dam was the first major project taken on by the TVA. The lake, dam and the town of Norris, Tennessee are named after George W Norris, who was a United States senator from Nebraska and wrote the legislation that created the TVA.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Norris Lake was created by the Norris Dam, which was the first project taken on by the Tennessee Valley Authority as part of the New Deal. Construction began in 1933 and the project was finished in March 1936. The dam cost about $36,000,000 to build. The dam is 265 feet high and expands 1,860 feet across the Clinch River. Construction of the dam also created the nearby town of Norris which was created to house the workers and their families.</p><br>
<p>Norris Lake flows 73 miles up the Clinch River and 56 miles up the Powell River from Norris Dam. It has a flood storage capacity of 1,113,000 acre-feet and has 809 miles of shoreline and 33,840 acres of water surface with a maximum width of 1.2 miles and a maximum depth of 210 feet, which makes it the largest lake on a tributary of the Tennessee River and as of 2011 has an ecological health rating of fair. The TVA has also put a clean water initiative into place to keep the lake clean and litter free and the program is monitored by the Regional Watershed Office.</p><br>
<h2>Hydrology</h2><br>
<p>The lake has an average temperature of 55.1 degrees Fahrenheit in the spring, 72.2 degrees in the summer, 56.4 degrees in the fall, and 36 degrees in the winter. It receives an average rainfall of 4.6 inches per month in a year. The lake is about 1,000 feet above sea level depending on the fluctuation of the depth of the lake at any given time with an average inflow of about 1,500 to 2,500 feet above sea level and an average outflow of about 1,000 to 1,500 feet above sea level. It also has an average water fluctuation of about 46 feet.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>Norris Lake lies within the Great Valley of East Tennessee and the land covers about 240,000 acres on top of the 33,840 acres the reservoir covers. The main rocks of the land are limestone and sandstone and due to the shifting of the area, they are in many of the rock formations that are cut out in the hills. The climate of the area is temperate and continental.</p><br>
<h2>Natural History</h2><br>
<h3>Fish</h3><br>
<p>Most nutrients for the fish that inhabit the lake come from the Clinch and Powell rivers because the lake has difficulty creating its own and is a major reason that the fish population in Norris lake is not as abundant as other lakes in the area such as Boone Lake. The lake also has advisories against the consumption of the fish because of the mercury levels in the lake. Norris lake&#39;s main fish species are the Black Bass, the Striped Bass which has a population of 104,228, Crappie which has a population of 102,039, Walleye which has a population of 240,267, and Sunfish.</p><br>
<h3>Vegetation</h3><br>
<p>Norris Lake has little underwater vegetation. Stumps remain underwater from the construction of the reservoir. The TWRA has a program installed for fish attraction and use old Christmas trees for most underwater vegetation for fish. The vegetation type around Norris lake is known as Appalachian oak forest. The main type of forest vegetation is oak pine which includes black jack oak, chestnut oak, post oak, scarlet oak, and southern red oak inhabiting the areas that are drier. The areas around the lake that have more moist ground include trees such as white oak, southern red oak, and black oak with short leaf pine composing much of the canopy around the lake.</p><br>
<h2>Economy</h2><br>
<p>The counties that surround the reservoir have a combined population of 189,144 people as of 2013. The main source of industry of the area surrounding the lake is agriculture with the main cash crops being tobacco, corn, and hay. Other sources of income for the area are in the industries of garment, coal, and timber.</p><br>
<h2>Uses</h2><br>
<h3>Flood Storage</h3><br>
<p>Norris Dam was primarily built for flooding issues in the area and it still serves that purpose today. The Dam and reservoir have a flood storage capacity of 1,113,000 acre-feet.</p><br>
<h3>Power</h3><br>
<p>Norris Dam is a hydroelectric facility and has 2 generating units, each unit is designed to have a generating capacity of 65.7 megawatts with a combined generating capacity of 131.4 megawatts and generated about 301.6 gigawatt-hours in 2007.</p><br>
<h3>Recreation</h3><br>
<p>Norris Lake offers many recreational opportunities. It has several conservation lands such as Norris Dam State Park, The Cover Creek Wildlife Management Area, and Chuck Swan State Forest that offer hiking and other activities and protect undeveloped areas. The Lake is also used for activities like waterskiing, fishing, swimming, and boating.</p><br>
<p>The Lincoln Mill and Mill Village Historic District is a historic district in Huntsville, Alabama. Opened in 1900, it quickly grew to be Huntsville&#39;s largest cotton mill in the first quarter of the 20th century. After closing in 1955, the mills were converted to office space that was used by the USA space program. Two of the older production buildings burned in 1980, but one main building and numerous houses built for workers remain. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Lincoln Mill began in 1900 as an entirely locally funded concern. One of the investors was Trevanian Dallas, founder of the adjacent Dallas Mill. Named the Madison Spinning Company, the original building was built on Oakwood Avenue. The mill required more capital to continue operating by 1903, and outside investors were brought in, including William Lincoln Barrell. Despite the extra cash, the mill closed in 1906. It reopened in 1908 under the name Abingdon Mills. Abingdon constructed a new mill building in 1915, and an addition to it in 1916. The mill was expanded again in 1918, with a two-story addition to the twisting mill, bringing capacity to 28,080 spindles and 476 looms. 47 houses and the village&#39;s first school were also built.</p><br>
<p>Despite the extra capacity, Abingdon went bankrupt in 1918. Barrell bought the company at auction, and production resumed later that year under the name Lincoln Mill. The next decade saw vast expansion of the mill and village. The company began constructing 40 more duplexes and apartment buildings north of Oakwood Avenue, on a tight grid pattern of streets which became known as Lincoln Village. A new mill building, costing $2 million and containing 750,000 square feet (70,000 sq. m.), was built in 1923–24. A one-story dye house quickly followed, and the mill employed 1,000 workers and operated 102,000 spindles. 600 additional houses and apartments were built to serve the expanded workforce. Another expansion in 1927 included more units for Mill No. 3 and 500 houses and apartments south of the mill. The expansion brought the operation to its highest capacity of 120,000 spindles, 1,200 looms, and 2,000 employees. In 1928, a mill store and community center were built, followed the next year by a larger school.</p><br>
<p>Production slowed during the Great Depression, and ground to a halt in 1934. From July 17 until September 22, 1934, a strike by the United Textile Workers of America brought violence to Huntsville. Although business rebounded during World War II, no further expansions of the mill or village were made. In 1953, longtime superintendent Phillip W. Peeler retired, and the new management clashed often with the union. Another strike in 1955 turned violent, and lawsuits reached the Supreme Court, but were not heard before the mill closed. The mill buildings were converted to offices, some of which were used by the space industry; the Apollo Lunar Roving Vehicle was designed in the mill by Brown Engineering. The oldest two mills, along Oakwood Avenue, were destroyed by fire in February 1980. The remaining Mill No. 3 has been renovated to house a variety of tenants, including offices, a microbrewery, loft apartments, and a school focusing on children with learning disabilities. The remodeling focuses on using sustainable practices.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The only surviving production structures are Mill No. 3 and the adjoining dye house, both built in 1924. Both buildings are of reinforced concrete which was cast in place. The defining feature of the buildings are floor-to-ceiling multi-pane windows with steel muntins. The Lincoln School, built in 1929 and separately listed on the National Register in 1982, echos this design, with large bays of windows separated by thick, concrete pilasters, although it contains more decorative details. The company store, today used as a theater and antique shop, retains the same proportions but has more conventional windows along with street-level storefronts.</p><br>
<p>The remaining structures in the district are all residential. Most prominent is the two-story, Colonial Revival Superintendent&#39;s House along Meridian Street, that has been renovated as offices for an adjacent auto repair shop. The majority of the workers houses are duplexes, although there are also twelve extant apartment buildings and a handful of single-family homes. The majority follow the Type M plan, of a one-story, hipped roof duplex that is two rooms deep. The double entries are covered with a shed roofed porch. The apartments follow the Type M style, but have multiple units attached to one another, and separate, gable roof porches. Other styles include Type B, a rectangular, gable roofed plan with closely spaced entrance doors; Type D, a one-story plan with a central chimney and steeper gable roof; Type E, an L-shaped structure with a shed porch on the front; and Type H, a -story single-family design with a gable roof and shed roof dormer. Though mostly undecorated, the houses do show some basic Craftsman detail, such as exposed wood rafter ends. All houses are of wood-frame construction covered in stucco.</p><br>
<p>The necropolis of Tuvixeddu is a punic necropolis, one of the largest in the Mediterranean, located in a hill inside the city of Cagliari, Sardinia, called Tuvixeddu .</p><br>
<p>Between the 6th and 3rd centuries BC the Carthaginians chose this hill to bury their dead: these burials were reached through a well dug into the limestone rock (from two to eleven meters deep), a small opening introduced to the burial chamber. The burial chambers were beautifully decorated; there were found amphorae and ampoules for the essences. Of particular interest among the Punic tombs, the "Uraeus tomb" and the "Fighter Tomb", decorated with paintings of palm trees and masks, still well preserved. Another famous tomb is that "of the Wheel".</p><br>
<p>On the slopes of the Tuvixeddu hill there is a Roman necropolis, which overlooked the road at the exit of the city. The Roman necropolis consists mainly of arcosolium tombs and columbaria.</p><br>
<p>The necropolis opened to the public in May 2014, during the XVIII edition of "Monumenti Aperti". The archaeological area is large, it originally consisted of an area of about 80 hectare.</p><br>

<p>Lyell Canyon is a sub-alpine meadow in Yosemite National Park south of Tuolumne Meadows. For 13 kilometers  most of the canyon has an approximate elevation of 2 700 meters , and then rapidly climbs to 3 370 meters  to Donohue Pass – which marks the southern boundary of Yosemite. The valley at the base is relatively flat and wide, following Lyell creek through an open meadow and wooded areas. Lyell creek eventually meets with Tuolumne river.</p><br>
<p>The canyon as well as Mount Lyell to the west is named after Charles Lyell, a well-known 19th century geologist and friend of Charles Darwin.</p><br>
<p>The canyon is an easy hike from Tuolumne Meadows campground. The John Muir Trail and the Pacific Crest Trail both route through the canyon. The trail is popular for hikers as an easy way to view surrounding mountains, a waterfall and Sierra wildflowers.</p><br>
<p>The McCartney–Bone House  is a historic residence near Maysville in Madison County, Alabama. The house was built in 1826 by James McCartney, who came to Madison County in 1810. McCartney held several public offices in the county, including Justice of the Peace, Tax Assessor and Collector, and County Commissioner. He was also a member of the Flint River Navigation Company, which sought to improve transportation along the Flint River to the Tennessee River, making it easier to get goods from northeastern Madison County to market. McCartney died in 1831, and his wife, Martha, remarried twice, the second time to Reverend Matthew H. Bone. After Martha&#39;s death in 1885, the house remained in the family until 1955.</p><br>
<p>The brickwork is laid in Flemish bond, and is of the same high quality on all sides of the house. The house is two stories, with a gable roof and a chimney in each gable end. A central entry portico, added in the 1960s, is supported by two square columns with matching pilasters against the house. The door is topped with an elliptical fanlight. A pair of two-over-two sash windows flank the portico on either side. Second floor windows are also two-over-two, but are slightly smaller. All windows on the façade have recessed lintels filled with stucco. A denticulated cornice with ogee modillions is repeated on the rear of the house, an unusual feature for an early 19th-century country house. The main portion of the house has two rooms on either side of a central hall on both floors. The house originally had a detached kitchen; it was rebuilt in 1873 to be closer to the house and later joined. A shed roofed veranda on the rear has been enclosed to form a sun porch.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<p>The Milligan Block is a historic commercial building in Huntsville, Alabama. It was built in 1900 and represents the transition from vertically-oriented Italianate style to more restrained, horizontally-oriented commercial styles of the early 20th century. It retains Italianate details such as an applied metal cornice and arched windows, but eschews other applied decoration in favor of using structural elements to provide ornamentation.</p><br>
<p>The street-level façade is recessed and divided into two bays by a large brick pilaster. Each bay has a single door covered with a shallow pediment that is flanked by one-over-one sash windows topped with a segmented fanlight. Above each window is a decorative brick arch with an ashlar keystone. The sills are a continuous course of ashlar, broken only by the doors and central pilaster, while a similar course of quarry-faced limestone forms the base of the arches. This window treatment is repeated on the second floor façade and on the Randolph Avenue side. The side is also divided into bays by pilasters, and the cornice on the middle bay is raised.</p><br>
<p>The building is adjacent to the May and Cooney Dry Goods Company and behind it on Randolph Avenue is the Randolph Street Church of Christ. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>Longmont College, also known as The Landmark, is a building in Longmont, Colorado that briefly housed the city&#39;s first college from 1886 to 1889. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<p>The Presbyterian Synod of Colorado originally commissioned the design of a much larger building for the site to house what was to become Longmont Presbyterian College. The south wing was built in 1886: a two-story brick building in the Italianate style. Due to financial problems, this was the only wing completed, and the college closed after only three years, reopening as a preparatory school, Longmont Academy. The building later housed Longmont High School and a series of Catholic schools before being sold and subdivided into apartments during the post-World War II housing shortage.</p><br>
<p>Mount Xianglu is a mountain near Shaoxing, Zhejiang, China. Its summit has an elevation of 354 m.</p><br>
<p>Its historic name was Mount Kuaiji, formerly romanized as Mount Kuai-chi. It was an important site for ancient Chinas Yue civilization and was legendarily connected with the Xia dynastys Yu the Great, who was said to have convened a gathering of his nobles there and to have died at the spot during a hunting trip. The mountain continued to preserve the Yue language even after its conquest by Qin in 222. It gave its name to the Kuaiji Mountains to its south, as well as Chinas former Kuaiji Commandery and (by extension) historical names for Suzhou and Shaoxing. It was also the site of the 353 Orchid Pavilion Gathering which produced the Lantingji Xu.</p><br>
<p>The present site of Yus mausoleum to the north of the peak dates to the 6th century, but sacrifice in his honor has occurred in the area since at least the reign of Shi Huangdi and it featured in Sima Qians pilgrimage around the historical sites of China prior to his composition of the Records of the Grand Historian.</p><br>
<p>Boulder County Poor Farm is the site of a poor farm in Boulder County, Colorado, where long-term care for the county&#39;s indigent was provided from 1902 to 1918. The site was operating as a farm from 1897, and many of the original farm buildings are still present, including a main house built in Queen Anne style. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<p>Starting in 1875, Boulder County leased a series of properties to serve as the county poorhouse. In 1902, the 120 acre farm on today&#39;s 63rd Street was purchased to house the institution; many modifications were made to the farm house, including the construction of a two story dormitory annex. The farm was sold and returned to private operation.</p><br>
<p>The Milroy State Bank Building is located in the small town of Milroy, Minnesota at the intersection of Superior Street and Euclid Avenue . The building was a former community bank built in 1902 by a group of businessmen from Springfield, Minnesota. It is nearly identical to the Clements State Bank Building in Clements, Minnesota representing the commercial investment of outsiders in a string of towns platted on a new railroad line, the Chicago and North Western Railway.</p><br>
<p>The bank closed in 1930, and was used for several purposes including a doctors office, and a bank exchange. It was the post office of Milroy from 1951 until 1989 when a new post office was built. In 1980, the building was put on the National Register of Historic Places along with several other buildings in Redwood County, Minnesota.</p><br>
<p>Throughout the years the building stood abandoned, sitting unheated and the roof had also collapsed. In 2009 a local, Sunny Ruthchild bought the building and put on a new roof, redid the floors inside, put in high-efficiency windows and a geothermal heat pump. The upper part of the building is currently being used as a housing tenement and the lower part currently sits empty. However, there has been plans to turn it into a bakery or Café.</p><br>
<p>Hickory Ridge or White Hall is located in Highland in Howard County, Maryland, United States.</p><br>
<p>The Hickory Ridge slave plantation was built in 1749 for Greenberry Ridgeley on a 500-acre tract he inherited from his father Henry Ridgley, who also settled the lands and mill site that became Savage, Maryland. Originally called "White Hall", the building is a two-and-a-half-story structure made of flemish brick bond.</p><br>
<p>Nicholas Ridgley inherited the property in 1800. Samuel and Martha Smith Hopkins acquired the property, naming it "White Hall" after the birthplace of his father Johns Hopkins. Samuel Hopkins became the Republican president of the Howard County Commissioners in 1865. Clark was a partner with William Thompson Walters at importing Percheron horses. It is the place where James A. Clark, Jr.&#39;s mother Alda Hopkins was born and raised. The home was renamed to "Hickory Ridge" after a Hopkins family home in southern Anne Arundel county. A family graveyard is located on the property.It has since been subdivided for residential development. Joel Kline, the real estate investor known for the downfall of Spiro Agnew, held the trust on the 207.56-acre property in 1970. The current estate was reduced to just 22.71 acres. Richard Jenkins and wife have restored the property since 1972. In 2012, the former Howard County Department of Planning and Zoning director Joseph Rutter Jr. petitioned to subdivide an additional four lots from the Maryland Historical Trust property to reduce the acreage to 18.91 acres. The planning board approved the project without objection.</p><br>
<p>The Vrouwenheide  is a hill in the Netherlands and former heath land, just south of Ubachsberg in the municipality of Voerendaal. With a height of 218 metres above NAP it is one of the highest points in the European part of the Netherlands.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>The area is made up out of inliers and outliers. The Vrouwenheide is the highest point of the plateau of Ubachsberg. Between 1 and 2 million years ago it was part of the island of Ubachsberg in the Meuse river.</p><br>
<p>With a height of 218 metres above NAP it is one of the highest point in the European part of the Netherlands. It was long believed that this was in fact the highest point in the Netherlands, because from the top you can see over the top of the Vaalserberg, to see the even higher hills from the German Eifel.</p><br>
<h2>Buildings</h2><br>
<p>On the Vrouwenheide are several national monuments. Windmill Op de Vrouweheide, build in 1858, is located at 216 meters above Amsterdam Ordnance Datum, and build on an artificial hill to catch even more wind. As such it is the highest windmill in the Netherlands. The Bernardushoeve is a farmhouse build in the early 19th century and currently a restaurant. In the forest on the Vrouwenheide the remains of an old watchtower can be found.</p><br>
<h2>Activities</h2><br>
<p>The Vrouwenheide has a lot of walking routes and biking routes pass through and is also home to a farmer&#39;s golf course. The Vrouwenheide is part of the Mergellandroute, a tourist route for cars and bikes through South Limburg, Netherlands, mapped out by the ANWB. Due to the hills, the Vrouwenheide and surrounding areas are part of the Amstel Gold Race, a road bicycle race. As such it was also part of the 2006 Tour de France (stage 3).</p><br>
<p>Fort Victoria is a disused British Army fort, built to house coastal artillery atop Retreat Hill at the North-East of St. George&#39;s Island, in the British colony of Bermuda.</p><br>
<p>The fort shares its hilltop location with Fort Albert, and the pair were named after Her Majesty Queen Victoria and her husband, Prince Albert. Both forts were built in 1842, on the suggestion of Colonel Edward Fanshawe, Royal Engineers, as part of the Bermuda Garrison built up by the British Army to defend the Royal Naval Dockyard and other strategic assets in Bermuda. The only channel through the reefline surrounding the archipelago that is suitable for large vessels passes the North-East ends of St. Davids and St. Georges Islands, which are at the East End of the archipelago of Bermuda. For this reason, the bulf of the nearly a hundred forts and gun batteries built in Bermuda between 1612 and 1939 are located on the eastern coasts of these two islands, and on Paget Island and the Castle Islands Fortifications, on smaller islands between St. Georges and St. Davids, and St. David&#39;s and the Main Island respectively.</p><br>
<p>Forts Victoria and Albert overlook Fort St. Catherines, on the headland below. Fort Victoria is landward of Fort Albert, and the Western Redoubt (also known as Fort William) is behind it. On the coast to the East is Alexandra Battery. The entire North-Eastern end of the island served as St. Georges Garrison, the army base that was initially the headquarters for the Bermuda Garrison. After the infantry component of the garrison and the headquarters were moved to Prospect Camp in the 1860s, St. George&#39;s Garrison became primarily a Royal Artillery base, serving the various coastal artillery detachments in the East End forts and batteries.</p><br>
<p>Fort Victoria was originally armed with eighteen 32 pounder cannon. As with many forts built in this period, the armament was already becoming obsolete by the time it was completed. In the 20th century, the fort was given two Breech-Loading 9.2 inch gun Mk X (although one appears to have been moved to St. Davids Battery on St. Davids Island, which received two in 1910).</p><br>
<p>In April 1941 the United States Army Bermuda Garrison was formed under the Destroyers for Bases Agreement. Several military and naval bases were built on Bermuda, and Fort Victoria became the home of some Coast Artillery Corps weapons as part of the Harbor Defenses of Bermuda. These included two 8-inch M1888 railway guns, initially manned by Battery F, 52nd Coast Artillery Regiment (Railway 8-inch gun). Another pair of these guns was at Scaur Hill Fort. Four 90 mm Anti Motor Torpedo Boat (AMTB) guns and a pair of 6-inch guns with a casemated magazine between them (called Battery Construction Number 284) were also installed by 1943. The railway guns were withdrawn in 1944.</p><br>
<p>Forts Victoria and Albert were included in property leased to a succession of hotel operators, which were permitted to damage the structures to create recreational areas for guests. The hotel building itself, after years of sitting vacant, was removed by explosives in 2008, which badly damaged Fort Victoria.</p><br>
<p>The sole 9.2-inch gun that had been remaining at Fort Victoria has now been moved to the Royal Naval Dockyard for installation at the Bermuda Maritime Museum in The Keep, the largest fort in Bermuda.</p><br>
<p>As a result of their historical significance, with fortifications spanning the full four centuries of English settlement in the New World, the forts at the East End of Bermuda, together with St. George&#39;s Town (or the Town of St. George), have been made a UNESCO World Heritage Site (the Historic Town of St George and Related Fortifications).</p><br>
<p>The Gaines-Oliphint House is a historic log cabin in Milam, Sabine County, Texas.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built by slaves in 1818 for the third wife&#39;s parents of James Taylor Gaines (1776–1856), the second cousin of General Edmund P. Gaines (1777–1849). In 1843, he sold it to Martha A. Oliphint. In 1984, it belonged to Mrs. Tom Foster, who donated it to the Sons of the Republic of Texas, who in turn donated to the Daughters of the Republic of Texas. The latter organization held many fundraisers for its preservation.</p><br>
<p>Notable Texans, such as Sam Houston, Davy Crockett and Stephen F. Austin, have stayed in the log cabin.</p><br>
<p>It has been added to the National Register of Historic Places listings since August 18, 1977.</p><br>
<p>The La Loma Plaza Historic District of Taos, New Mexico was listed as a National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Taos was originally settled in part due to Don Fernando de Taos land grants, which resulted in the construction of the fortified La Loma Plaza,</p><br>
<p>To protect themselves from attacks by Plains Indians, such as Comanche, Apache and Utes, the Spanish settlers built homes contiguously with shared common walls and the outer walls were solid adobe. Entrances to the center of the plaza were limited. It is believed that La Loma was settled between 1795 when most Spanish settlers left the protection of the fortified Taos Pueblo to settle in land that is now the town of Taos and before 1846 when New Mexico became a United States provisional government and fortified settlements were less important.</p><br>
<p>Water was generally supplied by wells. Residents had chickens, pigs, cows and horses</p><br>
<p>Most of the houses within the quiet plaza have been restored.</p><br>
<p>Squaw Island is located at the north end of Canandaigua Lake, near the city of Canandaigua, New York, United States. It is one of two islands in the 11 Finger Lakes. Frequently it is described as New Yorks smallest state park; however, while it is one of the states smallest protected areas, it is not formally designated as a state park, but rather it is a "unique area" managed by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.</p><br>
<p>It formed from the alluvial deposits of nearby Sucker Brook. Limestone from the brook&#39;s bedrock dissolved in its waters forms rare lime carbonate oncolites, known locally as "water biscuits", on its shores. Rises in the lake level following the damming of Canandaigua Outlet have reduced the island to a small portion of its former land. The state and local activists have worked together to shore it up against erosion and prevent it from disappearing.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The island is located roughly 500 ft south of the mouth of Sucker Brook and 600 ft southwest of the end of the docks at the north end of the lake in Canandaigua. Although both those locations are in the city, the island itself is outside its boundaries, in the town of Canandaigua. The surrounding waters, like much of the shallow north end of the lake, are no deeper than 25 ft it is sometimes possible to wade to it from shore.</p><br>
<p>It is roughly 145 ft long by 55 ft wide, for a total area just under 8,000 ft&sup2;. Several mature deciduous trees grow on the island; the shoreline is marked by large piles of flat stones. Its terrain is level, barely rising above the water level. A 10 ST granite boulder is located in the middle.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Canandaigua Lake, like all the Finger Lakes, was formed at the end of the last Ice Age about 11,000 years ago, from the glacial meltwater flooding the deep glacial moraines that typify the terrain of western Central New York. Squaw Island began to form as a sandbar created by the interactions between the sediments carried in Sucker Brook and the counterclockwise currents along the lakeshore. Prior to European settlement, the island had two long gravel spits projecting to the north and southwest; the adjoining delta of the brook would have made the island easy to reach from land without boating to it, especially at times of year when the water was low.</p><br>
<p>The first humans known to have settled in the region, the ancestors of the Iroquois Native American tribes, did not live on the island, even though it was larger than it is now. However, flint arrowheads and other artifacts found on the island suggest it was used for hunting waterfowl and perhaps deer. It may also have been used as a staging area for Iroquois warriors in the area mobilizing against the Sullivan Expedition of 1779, during the Revolutionary War.</p><br>
<p>While it is widely believed that the island got its name from its purported use as a place of refuge for Iroquois women during that time, the islands easy accessibility from the shore (even today) makes that use unlikely, and thus casts doubt on that story as the origin of the name. It seems more likely that it emerged from the islands use as a hunting and fishing spot. There have been some efforts to change it in the 21st century, as with other places with "squaw" in the name, since the use of the term is seen as insensitive.</p><br>
<p>In 1900, paleontologist John M. Clarke published a paper about the rare oncolites that had long accumulated on the island&#39;s north shore. The disc-shaped white rocks, known locally as "water biscuits", were light yet strong when wet but brittle enough to break by hand when dry.</p><br>
<p>Clarke&#39;s paper attracted the interest of Mary Clark Thompson, a Canandaigua native and daughter of former governor Myron H. Clark. After the 1899 death of her husband, New York City banker Frederick Ferris Thompson, she had returned to Sonnenberg Gardens, her estate near Canandaigua, and used the fortune she had inherited from him to finance civic improvements. She used her influence and connections to have the island, which had been state property since the 1794 Treaty of Canandaigua, declared a New York State Museum Reservation in 1918 in order to protect it. The following year she had the large granite boulder moved to the center of the island,</p><br>
<p>Throughout the rest of the 20th century, Squaw Island would face threats greater than those that could be held at bay by making it a protected area. Damming of Canandaigua Outlet drove up the lakes water level, leaving most of the two spits permanently underwater. The delta was dredged out of existence in the late 1950s to allow better lake access from a marina to the west. In 1975 it was made part of the states newly created Natural and Historic Preservation Trust.</p><br>
<p>Two years later the states Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), which by then managed the land, tried to sell it to the Town of Canandaigua, within whose boundaries the island sat, for $1. In the mid-1980s the states Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation dredged Sucker Brook all the way to the Parrish Street bridge in the city of Canandaigua in order to expand facilities for a state marine park and boat launch. DEC sank cedar logs around the island and took other measures to protect its shores from erosion.</p><br>
<p>The DEC currently designates the property as Squaw Island Unique Area. Further protection efforts have been undertaken by a group of local citizen activists.</p><br>
<p>Homewood is a stone house located between Highland and Clarksville in Howard County, Maryland.</p><br>
<p>Homewood was built on the Carroll family&#39;s Doughoregan Manor for Robert Goodloe Harper Carroll (1839-1915), who served in Company K of the Confederate 1st Virginia Cavalry. He served with his younger brother Albert, who died in battle. The family home was passed on to R. G. Harper Carroll II, then to the Wright Family. The house stayed in the Carroll family until the 1960s before it went through a series of owners including a Rouse Company executive and the administrator of Howard County General Hospital. In 1996 Joan Cochran, wife of former county Executive Edward L. Cochran, listed the 14-acre property for sale for $1.4 million.</p><br>
<p>Homewood has six fireplaces, library, wine cellar and grand foyer. The house offers six bedrooms and a gourmet kitchen.</p><br>
<p>The Homewood Center for disruptive and emotionally disturbed youths was built on the site in 2002, and given the name Homewood Alternative Learning Center to sound "elegant".</p><br>
<p>The Isaac Reed House is a historic house at 30-34 Main Street in downtown Newport, New Hampshire. The 2-1/2 story wood frame house was built c. 1869 by Dr. Isaac Reed, a local dentist, and is an important visual element of the municipal/county cluster of buildings which stand immediately adjacent. The house is Second Empire in style, with a mansard roof punctured by dormers with central segmented-arch roofs. The main facade is nominally three bays wide, although the first floor is divided in two, with a porticoed entry to the left and an ornately bracketed bay window to the right. There was originally an unsympathetic addition to the rear, which was built to make the building a multi-unit residence; this was removed in the 1970s, when the town decided not to raze the property.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Seth Mason Richards House, housing the Richards Free Library and the Library Arts Center, is a historic house, public library, and art gallery at 58 North Main Street in Newport, New Hampshire. This three-story Colonial Revival house was designed by Boston, Massachusetts architect James T. Kelley and built in 1898-99 for Captain Seth Mason Richards, a scion of one of Newports wealthiest families. The property, including the house and carriage house, were donated by his heirs for use as the towns public library in 1962. The library is housed in the main building, while the carriage house has been converted for use as a gallery space.</p><br>
<p>The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (as "Richards Free Library") in 1984.</p><br>
<p>The Polvorín de Miraflores is an 18th-century structure in San Juan, Puerto Rico, specifically in the island of Miraflores, that served as an ammunition storage place for the Spanish military. The site was included in the National Register of Historic Places in 1984 for its historic importance.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Polvorín was built on orders of Field Marshal Alejandro OReilly, who visited the island in 1765 to gauge the status of the island defenses on a request of King Charles III. Among OReilly&#39;s recommendations was the construction of five ammunition storage (or polvorín) to support the other artillery structures on the island. Some accounts state the specific construction date as 1770 and others as 1776.</p><br>
<p>When the Spanish–American War ended in 1898, United States took control of the island. From that time until the 1930s, the Polvorín de Miraflores was used as a quarantine station under the administration of the United States Public Health Service. Ship passengers and immigrants were inspected here and, if necessary, were isolated from the population.</p><br>
<p>Since the 1940s, the building was repurposed as a chapel for the Isla Grande Naval Base. As a result, some changes were made to the structure, like the replacement of the chimney with a bell tower. The structure was then renamed Santa Bárbara Chapel.</p><br>
<p>When the Naval Base closed in 1971, the structure was handed to the Institute of Puerto Rican Culture. During this time, it was used as the setting for the San Juan Ballets and the San Juan Choir. Since 1984, it became part of the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Eventually, the building was taken by the Puerto Rico Department of Transportation and Public Works and the property was used for the storage of vehicles. With time, the property became abandoned and deteriorated. Recently, the structure was handed to the Convention Center District which prompted the removal of the abandoned vehicles from the property.</p><br>
<p>Harwood Foundation is a non-profit organization in Taos, New Mexico that was listed as a National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Harwood Foundation was founded in 1923 by Elizabeth Harwood, widow of Burritt Harwood, and members of the Taos business and artist community. Her partners included artist Bert Geer Phillips, physician Thomas "Doc" Martin, artist Victor Higgins, B.G. Randall and William M. Fayne. The foundation&#39;s vision was to have a library, cultural center and art center in a complex of buildings, called El Pueblito purchased by Burritt and Elizabeth Harwood between 1916 and 1924.</p><br>
<p>The El Pueblito buildings were made of adobe, inspired by the Taos Pueblo architecture. The first home purchased by the Harwoods was previously owned by Smith H. Simpson, who served as a clerk for Kit Carson during the military campaign against the Ute Indians. Simpson purchased the home in 1861 and was available for sale to the Harwoods in 1916 upon Simpson&#39;s death.</p><br>
<p>The University of New Mexico was a partner of the foundation from 1929 until 1937, and ownership was then transferred to the University. Elizabeth Harwood resided within the complex until her death in 1938. The building became the Harwood Museum of Art in 1998 when the library for the town was moved to a separate location.</p><br>
<p>The Carnegie Center for Arts and History is a museum and events venue in downtown Jackson, Tennessee, housed in the former Jackson Free Library.</p><br>
<p>The Jackson Free Library, which opened in 1903, was the first public library in Jackson. Part of the funding for its construction came from philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. After the Jackson-Madison County Library was built to replace it, the Free Library underwent a period of deterioration that ended in 1987 when the city undertook to restore it. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<p>The facility is now a venue for weddings and other special events. The museum in the Carnegie Center features exhibits on the Civil War.</p><br>
<p>The museum was also formerly known as the Discovery Museum of West Tennessee.</p><br>
