<p>Stevens Memorial Hall is the historic town hall of Chester, New Hampshire. The building, a large wood frame structure completed in 1910, is located in the center of Chester at the junction of New Hampshire Routes 121 and 102. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. It served as the center of the town&#39;s civic business until 2000, when town offices were relocated to a former school.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Stevens Memorial Hall occupies a prominent site at the southwest corner of New Hampshire Routes 121 and 102. It is a large two-story wood frame structure that is basically Colonial Revival in style, with some Queen Anne touches. It is covered by a hip roof, with a square belfry at the northwest corner, covered by a bellcast roof. The main facade is divided into three sections, with an asymmetrical arrangement of windows, and a center entrance sheltered by a porch supported by slender round columns mounted on square bases. The inside ground floor historically housed town offices. The basement level, originally unfinished, was adapted for use as a police station in the 1970s. The upper floor consists of a large auditorium space used for civic and social functions, with a stage, dressing room, and balcony.</p><br>
<p>The hall was designed by Lawrence, Massachusetts, architect George G. Adams, and was built over a three year period. It was formally dedicated in 1910, and was retired from town functions in 2000. It is the only purpose-built town hall in the town, with its civic functions now located in a former elementary school at the western end of the Chester Center village. From 1930 to 1981, this building also housed the Chester Free Library. The auditorium space, in addition to being used for town meetings until 2000, was used for local community group meetings, theatrical productions, and other civic events.</p><br>
<p>The Stone School is a historic school building at 1 Granite Street in Newmarket, New Hampshire. Built in 1841-42, it served the town as a school until 1966, and is a distinctive example of the town&#39;s stone architecture. It is now the Stone School Museum, a local history museum. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Stone School stands in a residential area on a steep hill above the commercial downtown of Newmarket, a small mill town on the Lamprey River in southeastern New Hampshire. It is a mainly granite structure, three stories on one side and two on the other, as it is built into the side of a hill. It measures about 35 x, with walls of rubble construction, with some shale mixed in with the granite. The stone was quarried at Durham Point. A water table of granite extends around the main floor, its slabs serving as lintels for the partially exposed basement level openings. The building corners have granite quoin blocks, and the main roof line features a two-stage cornice with returns at the gable ends. The interior has wooden floors and plastered walls.</p><br>
<p>The school was built in 1841-42, its stonework executed by William and Robert Channel, local farmers and stonemasons. Along with the local "Stone Church" and mills, it is a high-quality example of stone architecture in the town. The building was used continuously as a school until 1966, when it was given to the Newmarket Historical Society, which now operates it as a local history museum.</p><br>
<p>The Town Center Historic District encompasses the historic village center of South Hampton, New Hampshire. Centered around the Barnard Green, the town common, on New Hampshire Route 107A, it includes architectural reminders of the town&#39;s growth and change over time. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>South Hampton&#39;s town common, Barnard Green, is located near the geographic center of the town. It is a long rectangular open area on the southwest side of New Hampshire Route 107A (Main Avenue), a historic main road between Kingston, New Hampshire, and Newburyport, Massachusetts. The historic district extends along Main Avenue south to the Massachusetts state line and north to the Nettle Hiller House, and westerly along Hilldale Avenue. It includes a cluster of civic buildings that are predominantly Greek Revival in character, including the town hall, Baptist church, and Barnard School, all of which were built during the 1830s. The residential character of the area is significantly early 20th-century in character, due to a 1912 fire that destroyed a number of houses facing the common, but there are a number of 18th and early 19th-century houses.</p><br>
<p>The district is anchored at the southern end by the Kiely House, a Georgian brick house that stands on Main Avenue just north of the Massachusetts line. Not far to its north is the c. 1720 Ordway House, the only surviving Georgian saltbox in the town. Before reaching the green, the road passes a c. 1820 Federal house that once functioned as a tavern serving stagecoach customers. The civic buildings are clustered around the eastern end of the common; the c. 1832 Greek Revival Baptist church is oriented facing east toward Jewell Street. Directly north of this area is the "Hilltop Fire" area, in which nine older structures were demolished in 1912; this area is now populated by Colonial Revival and other 20th-century houses that are similar in scale to other residential architecture in the district.</p><br>

<p>Gamlang Razi  is possibly Southeast Asia&#39;s highest mountain, located in the northern Myanmar state of Kachin. It is in Khakaborazi National Park and part of the Himalayas. The mountain lies on the border of Myanmar and Tibet, 15 km from the border tri-point with India. The 5881-m high Hkakabo Razi is located 6.6 km ENE from Gamlang Razi. It has year-round snow and glaciers. Mt. Gamlang Razi rock type is granite, according to the Department of Geological Survey of Myanmar.</p><br>
<h2>Climbing history</h2><br>
<p>Andy Tyson (1968–2015) led the first ascent in 2013. The team consisted of five American climbers as well as two Burmese climbers from the Technical Climbing Club of Myanmar (TCCM). The expedition was mainly sponsored by the Htoo Foundation. The path to the base camp passes through several rainforests and streams. In favorable weather, it typically takes about two weeks to the base camp.</p><br>
<h2>Possibly the highest peak in Southeast Asia</h2><br>
<p>Gamlang Razi has been measured at 5,870 ±2 m (19,259 ft). It makes the highest mountain in Southeast Asia whose height has been measured exactly by GPS. Hkakabo Razi has not yet been measured via GPS. However, Hkakabo Razi may still be the highest peak according to a recent expedition to that peak. Though the expedition team reached only to 5742 m (18,840 ft), they estimated that Hkakabo Razi&#39;s summit to be another 240 m (800 ft) higher.</p><br>
<p>Thorntree, also known as the Witherspoon House, is a historic plantation house located at Kingstree, Williamsburg County, South Carolina.

<p>It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.</p><br>
<p>The Camden to Washington Road-Rosston Segment is a historic early 19th-century road section in rural Nevada County, Arkansas. It is located east of Rosston in Poison Spring State Forest, and is a former portion of County Road 10 extending east from that road&#39;s junction with County Road 47 . The road was first cut c. 1825, and was never paved or given modern finishing, despite its continued use well into the 20th century. A crossing at Cypress Creek has been compromised by the activities of beavers, and the road is no longer completely passable, possibly excepting high-clearance off-road vehicles. The road section is the one of the only sections of the historic post road which connected Washington and Camden to retain its 19th-century character.</p><br>
<p>The road section was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. The Carolina Methodist Church is located on this section of road.</p><br>

Associated with the house are eight contributing buildings and three contributing structures including: the play house; pool house and pool; the vegetable garden; garage; well house; poultry house; and stable.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985 by the National Park Service of the United States Department of the Interior as a national historic district. The community was subsequently named for this property.</p><br>
<p>The Rizzo Conference Center of UNC Chapel Hill&#39;s Kenan-Flagler Business School, which also includes other buildings, incorporates this historic property.</p><br>
<h2>Meadowmont Village</h2><br>
<p>Meadowmont Village is a shopping center built and located in Meadowmont and is an example of New Urbanist architecture.</p><br>
<p>The House at 1015 Prospect Boulevard is a historic house located at 1015 Prospect Boulevard in Pasadena, California. Built in 1913, the house was likely the first built in Pasadena&#39;s Arroyo Park Tract. Architect Sylvanus Marston designed the English-inspired Arts and Crafts house. The two-story house has a stucco exterior with several sets of wood-frame, double-hung windows. A gabled portico with Tudor half-timbered ornamentation covers the front entrance. The multi-component roof has a gable-on-hip main section with a cross gable-on-hip section over the east side; two stucco chimney stacks rise from the roof.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 20, 2004. It is also part of the Prospect Historic District, which had previously been listed on the National Register.</p><br>
<p>The Marion Parsons House is a historic house at 179 Main Street in Fryeburg, Maine. It is located on the southeast side of Main Street, opposite River Street and two doors west of Elm Street. The main block of the house, built c. 1838 by a tailor named Robert Tonge, is a modest 1-1/2 story Cape style wood frame structure with a gable roof. The exterior is finished in clapboards, with chimneys at either end. It is five bays wide, with a recessed center entry that is framed by sidelights and a molded architrave. A 1-1/2 story ell, an 1870s replacement for an earlier one, extends to the rear of the main block. This ell is attached to a 1-1/2 story barn which has Greek Revival styling.</p><br>
<p>The house is most significant for its association with Marion Parsons (1876-1968), a pioneering nurse and nursing educator active in the early 20th century. Miss Parsons had a distinguished career, first as a nurse in hospitals in Boston and San Francisco, and was for two years a nursing instructor at New York City Hospital. During World War I she volunteered her services to the military, serving several tours of duty at military medical facilities in France. In 1919 she was dispatched by the American Red Cross to Czechoslovakia, where she established a nurse&#39;s training school. She is one of a small number of women to receive the Czech Order of the White Lion. She was also decorated with the British Royal Red Cross for her World War I service. She returned to a teaching position in Boston, and retired in 1940 to this house, which she had purchased in 1937; it was her only permanent home.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<p>The Smith-Duncan House and Eastman Barn are two historic buildings located on the Duncan Farmstead at Pere Marquette State Park in Jersey County, Illinois. The Smith-Duncan House is a two-story limestone house built circa 1861. The house has a double-pile plan, in which each story is two rooms deep, with a central hall. The Eastman Barn has three interior sections and is built on a raised limestone foundation; this arrangement allowed for threshing and storage to be done in the barn and provided a basement space for livestock. A gabled cupola on the barn&#39;s roof allows for air to vent from the structure. Both buildings, as well as two contributing retaining walls on the property, are well-preserved examples of local stonework; limestone was a common building material in the Grafton area during the mid-19th century.</p><br>
<p>The buildings were added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 22, 1999.</p><br>
<p>Bemis is a former company town in Madison County, Tennessee, United States, now part of the city of Jackson. The Bemis Brothers Bag Company established the town in 1900 to be the site of a cotton mill and housing for the mill workers. A 450 acre area of Bemis was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1991 as the Bemis Historic District. Much of the area is also a local historic district.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Around 1900, Judson Moss Bemis, founder and head of the Bemis company, decided to that it would be advantageous for his company to have a cotton mill in a cotton-growing area in the southern United States. The site in Madison County was selected after the county government agreed to purchase 300 acre near the Illinois Central rail line and transfer it to the bag company for the project. Construction began in 1900 and the first mill, with capacity of 21,000 spindles, was in operation by June of the following year.</p><br>
<p>A planned community was built around the production facilities, largely under the direction of Albert Farwell Bemis, the son of Judson Bemis. Albert Bemis had trained as a civil engineer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He endeavored to make the community appear to have grown over time. Several distinct residential neighborhoods were built around the mill buildings. Each neighborhood had its own set of varied house designs patterned upon the region&#39;s characteristic house styles, including shotgun and double shotgun, cubical, L-plan, and hall-and-parlor designs. The first of the residential neighborhoods, named Old Bemis, was built in 1900. A second neighborhood, named Bicycle Hill, was built in 1903 to support a new mill facility that opened that year. A segregated neighborhood for African-American workers was created on a street named Congo Street (later renamed Butler Street) between 1903 and 1905. Additional residential areas were built later, including the Silver Circle neighborhood in 1919–1921 and West Bemis in 1926.</p><br>
<p>Community facilities provided in Bemis included schools, churches, sidewalks, fire protection services, company stores, a United States post office, a hotel, a boarding house, a railroad depot, an 850-seat auditorium designed by Massachusetts architect Andrew Hepburn and completed in 1922, a YMCA building, a swimming pool, parks, a bath house, a six-hole golf course, and a company farm. Untypically for a company town, employees were not required to live in Bemis; transportation services were available for employees living elsewhere.</p><br>
<p>The mills at Bemis produced complete lines of fabric sheeting and thread for shipment to other Bemis company facilities for use in sewing bags. In 1950, the company reported that its mills in Bemis held 50,000 spindles and 1,710 looms and that they employed 1,250 workers who processed 26,000 bales of cotton annually, producing 50 million yards of cotton cloth and one million pounds (about 450,000 kg) of thread. The success of the community for the Bemis Company helped encourage the company to establish a second company town, Bemiston in Alabama (now part of Talladega), in the late 1920s.</p><br>
<p>Around 1965, the Bemis company began a process of selling off the company town. Workers were given the opportunity to purchase houses with company financing. By the end of the decade, most of the houses had been sold.</p><br>
<p>In 1977, Bemis was annexed by the city of Jackson. In 1976, Bemis lost its status as a postal city, but the post office continued to operate. The Bemis Company sold the mills in 1980. The new owner operated them until 1991.</p><br>
<p>In 1991, the year that the mills closed, Bemis was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Bemis Historic District. The listing included 450 acre and 511 contributing buildings, three contributing sites, eight contributing structures, and one contributing object. Buildings of particular interest in the historic district include the cotton mill building, the auditorium which now houses the Bemis Museum; and the Bemis United Methodist Church, built in 1908 as the Union Church to serve residents all faiths and later dedicated as a Methodist church after several other denominations had built churches in Bemis.</p><br>
<p>In 2014, the city of Jackson announced plans to tear down the Bemis Mill and create a memorial park on the site where it stood. Although the mill was included in the Bemis National Register historic district, it was not part of the local historic district, so it was not protected by local historic district regulations against demolition of historic properties.</p><br>
<p>Industrial facilities currently operating in Bemis include the cotton gin and a modern cotton warehouse located south of the old Bemis Mill.</p><br>
<p>Duncan Farm is an archaeological site located on a farmstead south of Illinois Route 100 in Jersey County, Illinois, near the city of Grafton. The site, which dates from the Woodland period, includes two burial mounds and a habitation site. The site was part of the Hopewell exchange system in Illinois and is the closest neighboring village site to the Golden Eagle regional transaction center, a major trade and social hub in the system. Archaeologists have suggested that the site is a local transaction center in the Golden Eagle site&#39;s region due to its two large mounds, which are roughly 200 ft long and 100 ft wide each. In addition, the site is archaeologically significant due to its distinctive stratification, which allows its artifacts to be easily dated.</p><br>
<p>The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 24, 1982.</p><br>
<p>Hightower Hall  is a historic home located near McConnells, York County, South Carolina. Completed in 1856, Hightower Hall is a two-story, weatherboarded frame dwelling in a vernacular interpretation of the Italianate style. The front facade features a prominent three-story tower that rises ten feet above the main roof of the house. It also has a low-pitched roof, deep eaves, decorative brackets and verandahs. Also on the property are two barns and two slave cabins.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Construction began in 1854 by John Simpson Bratton Jr. and Harriet Rainy Bratton. In 1856 the home was completed and was called Forrest Hall. In 1888 John Bratton died, followed by his wife Harriet in 1912. Sophia (Bratton) Witherspoon, the daughter of John and Harriet, and her husband Robert Witherspoon gained ownership.</p><br>
<p>The home was purchased by Mr. R. F. Draper, and IBM executive, in 1958 where it gained the name "Hightower Hall." The family acquired an additional 1,285 acres by the time of his death in 1995. Brattonsville Historic District purchased the property and surrounding 485 acres of the Draper Estate with help from the Nation Ford Land Trust, the Friends of Historic Brattonsville and the York County Council. The remaining property was purchased by the State of South Carolina, becoming part of the South Carolina Wildlife Management system.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>Hightower Hall is now part of Historic Brattonsville and is open as a historic house museum.</p><br>
<p>The Deerfield Town House  is the town hall of Deerfield, New Hampshire. Built in 1856, it is one of the state&#39;s finest examples of public Greek Revival architecture. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, as "Town House".</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Deerfield Town House is located on Church Street (formerly Old Centre Road), just west of its junction with New Hampshire Route 107. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a granite foundation, gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. Its corners have pilasters rising to full entablature, and the gable end is fully pedimented, with a small oculus window. There are three doors on the main facade, each flanked by Doric pilasters and topped by an entablature. Above each doorway is a sash window. Similar sash windows line the sides, with lintels that have slightly projecting cornices. The front of its lower hall has been divided to provide office space for the town and a kitchen, but has retained its original pine flooring, and there are builtin benches lining the side walls. The upper hall floor has been resurfaced in hardwood, and it has a stage with proscenium arch at the rear, which are of uncertain date.</p><br>
<p>The town hall was built in 1856 by two builders from Concord. It is one of the state&#39;s finest examples of public Greek Revival architecture, retaining virtually all of its original features. The interior dividers on the ground floor are an easily removable later alteration.</p><br>
<p>Watson Academy is a historic school building on Academy Street in Epping, New Hampshire, United States. Built in 1883, it is the only known surviving Queen Anne style school building in southern New Hampshire.

The property was operated as a hotel by the Edwards family from 1914 to 1970 and is now owned by Art and Angela Williams  of Palm Beach, FL.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The Merrimack Mill Village Historic District is a historic district in Huntsville, Alabama. The cotton mill was built in 1900 by the Merrimack Manufacturing Company, reaching a peak of 1,600 employees by 1955. The mill was sold in 1946, and became known as the Huntsville Manufacturing Company. It operated until 1989 and was torn down in 1992. Houses in the adjoining mill village were built between 1900 and 1937, and encompass many mill house styles not commonly seen outside New England. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1898 the Merrimack Manufacturing Company, based in Lowell, Massachusetts, began to look for a location to build a cotton spinning mill in the Southern United States. Tracy W. Pratt, a Huntsville businessman who owned the West Huntsville Cotton Mill and would later be instrumental in building Lowe Mill, convinced the company to choose a site southwest of Huntsville. The company broke ground on 1,385 acres (560 ha) near Brahan Spring the following year, and the mill opened in 1900. The mill produced grey cloth which was finished in Rock Hill, South Carolina. When it opened, the mill employed about 500–750 people, operating 1,800 looms and 25,000 spindles. The mill was powered by steam from a coal boiler until it was converted to electricity in 1920. A village of about 60 houses was built to house the workers.</p><br>
<p>Soon after opening, Merrimack announced the construction of a second mill, which would be completed in 1904. The new mill brought the capacity up to 90,000 spindles and 2,900 looms. Joseph J. Bradley, Sr., became the mills agent in 1905; he began improving services for those in the village. The first hospital opened in one of the village houses in 1913 and was replaced by a larger, dedicated facility in 1916. The first school also opened in 1913, followed by a four-room schoolhouse in 1914 and a larger brick building in 1919, which was later named in Bradleys honor. Several new houses were also built in the 1910s. Buoyed by profits from high production during World War I, the mill expanded in 1920, adding 30,000 square feet (2,800 sq. m.) to Mill No. 1. The mill store was greatly expanded the same year, incorporating the old frame structure and adding a gymnasium, theater, two community rooms, and other amenities. Beginning in 1922, the village houses were wired for electricity, and sidewalks and a sanitary sewer system were added. Further houses were built, bringing the total to 279 by 1925.</p><br>
<p>During the 1920s and the Great Depression, the company fell into financial trouble. Merrimack reached 1400 employees in 1925, but just two years later, employment had fallen to 850. To raise capital, the mill began selling the village houses, first to employees and then to investors, although they continued to build new houses until 1937. Labor unions also became a presence among the workforce. another strike at Merrimack and Dallas Mill followed in 1937. Business rebounded during World War II, but soon after, facing aging equipment and soft prices due to overseas competition, Merrimack sold the mill to M. Lowenstein and Co. of New York City.</p><br>
<p>At the time of the sale, the mill employed about 800 and had 110,000 spindles and 2,500 looms. Lowenstein invested $1.7 million in modernizing equipment, and expanded to a 24-hour production day. Beginning in 1949, 269 more houses were sold to employees. Two years later, the school was donated to the Madison County School District and Brahan Springs, behind the mill, was donated to the city. By 1955, the two mill buildings were connected, and the entire mill was air conditioned, bringing the mill to its peak of 1,600 employees, 145,896 spindles, and 3,437 looms. Lowenstein sold the mill to Springs Industries in 1988, who operated it for one year before closing it completely. The mills were demolished in 1992, and the land today is used as a public park.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The mill buildings, completed in 1900 and 1904, were designed by preeminent mill architects Lockwood, Greene & Co. Mill No. 1 was three stories and Mill No. 2 was five stories, both of brick with arched lintels and stone sills. Mill No. 1 had the carding, drawing, and picking areas plus a repair shop on the first floor; weaving on the second floor; and spooling, warping, and spinning on the third.</p><br>
<p>The village is laid out along a grid pattern broken by a Y-shaped street which led to the mill and contained the superintendents house in the Y. This design is identical to that of Merrimacks mill village in Massachusetts, platted in 1820. The houses followed several basic plans: Type A, a one-story, duplex shotgun house; Type B, a rectangular duplex with double central entry doors and a shed roof porch; Type J, a two-story I-house, usually with a shed roof rear addition; Type L, a two-story, cross-gable duplex with side entrances covered by shallow-pitched gable porches; and Type M, a one-story, hipped roof duplex with a shed roofed front porch. The 96 Type L houses, most of which were constructed in the first wave of construction before 1910, represent the largest collection of the type in the South.</p><br>
<p>The German-American Bank Building is a historic bank building located at St. Joseph, Missouri. It was built in 1889, and is a six story, rectangular brick building designed in the Richardsonian Romanesque style with added Beaux-Arts detailing. The bank originally was created to provide service to the large number of German-speaking citizens in the region. In 1918 it was renamed the American National Bank. Later, it became First Federal Savings and Loan.</p><br>
<p>It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. It is located in the St. Joseph&#39;s Commerce and Banking Historic District.</p><br>
<p>In 1986 a number of aspects were photographed and documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey.</p><br>
<p>It was announced in July, 2014, that Heartland Health and Mosaic Life Care would be renovating the building along with surrounding properties in a 2-year, $20 million effort. As part of a revitalization project in downtown St. Joseph, it will provide office space for up to 200 health workers. At the time of the announcement, it is being used by Legal Aid of Western Missouri and several other businesses. The renovation is intended to blend historic bank features such as the natural brick walls and the carved columns with the company&#39;s standard design look and modern features.</p><br>
<p>The Albany Town House is a historic town hall building at the junction of Maine Routes 5 and 35 with Vernon Street and Hunt&#39;s Corner Road in Albany Township, Maine. Built in 1848, it is the only surviving governmental structure of the former town of Albany, which was incorporated in 1803 and disincorporated in 1937. Since 1947 the building has been owned by the non-profit Albany Improvement Association, and continues to serve the area as a community hall. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<p>The town house is a single story wood frame structure on a small rise. Nearby area a few houses, as well as the townships two other public buildings, a grange hall (1909) and church (1877–78). It is about 35 ft square, with its main entrance facing south, toward Hunts Corner Road. The main facade consists of a central entry flanked by sash windows. There is evidence that the doorway originally had sidelight windows; these appear to have been covered over or removed in a 20th-century re-siding of the structure. The door is topped by a slightly triangular header, a vernacular nod to Greek Revival styling popular at the time of the building&#39;s construction. A small addition, containing a privy and woodshed, extends north from the main block.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the building is an open hall with a small separated kitchen area in the southwest corner. The ceiling is finished in tin, a replacement (at unknown date) for the original plaster ceiling. The floor is narrow hardwood, and the walls are lined with beadboard wainscoting. There is a raised platform in the northeast corner, which once held a wood stove.</p><br>
<p>The River Morar is a river that flows from Loch Morar in the west Highlands of Scotland. It flows from the western end of the loch to the estuary of Morar Bay, an inlet of the Sound of Sleat. At less than 1 km in length , the River Morar is one of the shortest rivers in Scotland.</p><br>
<p>The river is crossed by three bridges: one carrying the A830 trunk road, an older bridge for the B8008 road, and one for the West Highland Line railway. The railway viaduct dates from 1897, and is a Category B listed building.</p><br>
<p>The River Morar is the boundary between the parishes of Glenelg (to the north) and Arisaig and Moidart (to the south).</p><br>
<h2>Falls of Morar</h2><br>
<p>As the River Morar crosses over the rock bar at the end of the loch it forms a series of waterfalls known as the Falls of Morar.</p><br>
<h2>Hydroelectric power station</h2><br>
<p>A 750 kW hydroelectric power station with a hydraulic head of 5.5 m was built on the River Morar in 1948.</p><br>
<p>Taos Downtown Historic District is a historic district in Taos, New Mexico. Taos "played a major role in the development of New Mexico, under Spanish, Mexican, and American governments." It a key historical feature of the Enchanted Circle Scenic Byway of northern New Mexico.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Taos Downtown Historic District is located in the center of Taos, New Mexico. It is roughly bounded by Ojitos, Quesnel, Martyer&#39;s, La Placacitas and Ranchitos Streets.</p><br>
<p>More broadly the area originally called Don Fernando de Taos is located in the Taos Valley, alongside Taos Creek and about 2 mi south of Taos Pueblo. In the distance is Taos Peak.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Native Americans</h3><br>
<p>Arrowheads, potshards and pictographs found in the area provide evidence that Native Americans ranged through the Taos area about 6,000 years ago. About 900 years ago Pueblo people moved into the Taos and Picuris Pueblo areas.</p><br>
<h3>Spanish settlement</h3><br>
<p>Spanish conquistadors, led by Hernando de Alvardo, entered the Taos Valley in 1540. What had begun as good relationships between the people from the pueblo and the settlers became contentious due to "brutal treatment" of the pueblo residents by the Franciscan missionaries, pressure to convert to Christianity, and demands to make tributes to encomenderos. Some of the colonists left the Taos area in 1840 after the Franciscan priest was killed. In 1661 some people returned to the still difficult situation. Due to the poor treatment of the residents of the pueblo, a revolt by indigenous peoples in 1680 resulted in the Spanish being driven out of the area. Sixteen years later the Taos valley was resettled by Don Diego de Vargas of Spain with a renewed and more respectful perspective. Spanish families settled in the Taos Plaza area and Ranchos de Taos. In 1710 the Spanish regained the territory.</p><br>
<p>For protection against attacks by Plains Indians, many people of Spanish heritage lived on,</p><br>
<p>In 1779 the Battle of Cuerno Verde was led by Juan Bautista de Anza against the Comanches. Several tribal leaders and the chief were killed during the battle. As a result, the hostilities by that tribe subsided.</p><br>
<p>In 1796 The Don Fernando de Taos Land Grant gave land to 63 Spanish families in the Taos valley, including the Taos Plaza which was then called Don Fernando de Taos. The settlement was built as a fortified plaza, with strong gates to enclose the settlement to protect the residents and livestock at threats of attack by Plains Indians. At each corner of the thick adobe walls of the plaza sentries stood guard for protection. Within the plaza, residents celebrated during fiestas, engaged in church festivities, and traded goods. It is now a central plaza surrounded by residential areas.</p><br>
<p>Taos was the most northern stop on the El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro, also known as the King&#39;s Highway, from Mexico City.</p><br>
<p>Mountain men who trapped for beaver nearby made Taos their home in the early 1800s. Santa Fe Trail traders included Charles Bent and William Bent who operated Bent&#39;s Fort. Goods produced in Taos included furs, blankets, and "Taos lightning", made from fermented wheat.</p><br>
<p>In 1826 Padre Antonio José Martínez began to serve the parish of Our Lady of Guadalupe. He also founded a newspaper, the first one west of the Mississippi, which was the precursor to the modern The Taos News.</p><br>
<p>In 1830 building housing a jail and courthouse was built on the north side of the plaza. The Columbian and Don Fernando hotels, saloons and gambling establishments were built to accommodate the influx of visitors to Taos.</p><br>

<h3>American territory and settlement</h3><br>
<p>The United States took possession of New Mexico in 1847 (during the Mexican–American War). In retaliation, some former Mexican citizens and Taos Natives rebelled and during the Taos Revolt Charles Bent, the first territorial governor, was killed in his home. In response, the United States Army killed more than 150 people at the Taos Pueblo and destroyed the original San Geronimo Mission. In 1850, New Mexico and Arizona became an official territory of the United States.</p><br>
<p>Taos, one of the oldest Spanish settlements in the Taos valley, has examples of Spanish Colonial, Mission Revival, Pueblo Revival and Territorial architecture.</p><br>
<p>In 1930 several buildings on the plaza succumbed to fire, including the courthouse building and the Don Fernando Hotel. A new courthouse building was built and in 1933 and 1934 the Works Progress Administration funded the creation of murals within the courthouse. The frescoes were painted by Taos art colony members Emil Bisttram, Victor Higgins, Ward Lockwood and Bert Geer Phillips.</p><br>

<h3>Taos art colony</h3><br>
<p>In the late 19th century members of the Taos art colony settled in homes and studios around the plaza. The first of which were Bert Geer Phillips and Ernest L. Blumenschein who became "enthralled" by Taos scenery and clear light in 1898. The Taos Society of Artists was formed in 1912 with other artists who had moved to Taos.</p><br>
<p>Socialite Mabel Dodge Luhan arrived in Taos in 1917 and brought "creative luminaries" to the area, including Carl Jung, Georgia O&#39;Keeffe, D. H. Lawrence, Thomas Wolfe, Willa Cather, Ansel Adams, Thornton Wilder, and Aldous Huxley.</p><br>

<p>The Chilkat Oil Company Refinery Site is a historic industrial site near the ghost town of Katalla, Alaska. It is located at the head of Katalla Slough, an arm of Katalla Bay, and about 20 mi southeast of the mouth of the Copper River. The site consists of the ruined remnants of Alaska&#39;s first petroleum refinery, which operated from roughly 1911 until 1933, when it was partially destroyed by fire and abandoned. Oil had been discovered in Katalla Bay as early as 1902, and the company was formed to exploit the resource, reportedly producing more than 50,000 gallons of gasoline in 1921. Facilities at the site included a warehouse, tank house, running house, coal house, condensing house, and residence, all of which were reported to be in ruins in 1972.</p><br>
<p>The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<p>The Hamilton Primary School is a historic school building located 200 ft on 107 E. Main Street in Otterville, Illinois. The two-story Italianate building was constructed in 1873 using limestone from the original school building, which was built in 1835. The original school was the first free and integrated school in the United States. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 6, 1998.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Dr. Silas Hamilton, for whom the school is named, was a Mississippi plantation owner who freed his 28 slaves and moved to Otterville in 1830. When Hamilton died in 1834, he left $4000 for the construction of a free and integrated public school. The school, which was completed in 1835, was the first free school in Illinois and the first free and integrated school in the United States. In 1839, the Illinois General Assembly legally incorporated the school. The original building was demolished in 1872, and the current school building was built from the same stone the following year.</p><br>
<p>George Washington, one of Hamilton&#39;s former slaves, bequeathed $1500 upon his death in 1864 to build a monument to Hamilton. The marble monument, erected in front of the school the same year, is currently maintained by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. A plaque in front of the Jersey County Courthouse also commemorates the school.</p><br>
<p>The school building served Otterville&#39;s students until 1971. The Otter Creek Historical Society took control of the building in 1982; however, the school has suffered from poor maintenance since then due to insufficient funding. Landmarks Illinois named the school as one of the ten most endangered historic places in Illinois in April 2014.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The two-story, limestone school has an Italianate design. The limestone used to build the school came from the 1835 school building and was originally from the Hiram White Quarry in Mississippi Township; due to its local abundance, limestone was a popular building material in Jersey County in the mid-19th century. The front entrance has an arched double door below a second-floor arched section with two arched windows and an oculus; another oculus is above the opening, and a pediment tops the entrance bay. The other first- and second-story windows are tall and narrow with arched hoods. The school&#39;s roof has wide eaves with decorative brackets and is topped by a cupola.</p><br>
<p>Crkvenica is a Bosnian river. It is a right bank tributary of the Vrbanja River.</p><br>
<p>Crkvenica rises between the northwestern slopes of Očauš and Šipraška brda mountains, flowing southeast at around 1,200 m above sea level. The river drains the central part of the northern slopes of the Dinaric mountain massif and its mouth is in Šiprage (Kotor Varoš) with a length of 12 km.</p><br>
<p>The river is known for its water mills; during the 1950s, they numbered approximately 18.</p><br>
<p>The narrow area of its headwaters contains a watershed between the confluence of the Vrbas and the Bosna Rivers.</p><br>
<p>Tufa stećci on the Crkvenica riverbank is a relic of the Bogomil settlement in the twelfth century. The stećci was originally located at the confluence of the Crkvenica and the Vrbanja. The stones were quarried and built into the walls of the surrounding buildings, possibly due to belief in their miraculous properties. One of the most well-preserved tombstones is in its original location, submerged in the River Vrbanja.</p><br>
<p>Belk Hudson Lofts  is an apartment building in Huntsville, Alabama. Originally two buildings, the first was built on the corner of Washington Street and Holmes Avenue in 1930 to house Fowlers Department Store, one of several department stores on Washington Street . The second building, adjacent to the first along Holmes, was constructed in 1936 as a farm supply store. Fowlers went bankrupt in 1938, and Belk Husdon purchased the corner building in 1940. Beginning in 1944, they also leased the Holmes building, and the two were joined. After Belk Husdon left the downtown area, the building was renovated into offices in the 1980s. The one-story Holmes building was occupied by Olde Towne Brewing Company from 2004 until 2007, when the building was destroyed by fire. In the 2010s, the corner building was reconstructed into a loft apartment building, with the original façade kept largely intact.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<p>Rivercroft Farm is a historic farm complex on River Street  in Fryeburg, Maine. The farm has been in the hands of the Weston family for many generations, and is one of the largest agricultural operations in Fryeburg. The centerpiece of the complex, on the south side of River Street, is an impressive Second Empire house built 1870-73, and believed to be designed by Portland architect Frances Fassett. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure on a stone foundation. Its main block has a mansard roof; ells extend to the rear of the house that have gable roofs. The main facade is three bays wide, with a center entry flanked by paired sash windows, and a four-column porch extending across its width. The roof cornice and dormers have fine woodwork decoration typical of the Second Empire style.</p><br>
<p>Adjacent to the house is the Yellow Barn, which was built sometime before 1880, and added to in c. 1950 and c. 1985. It is connected to a c. 1950 silo by a short single-story connector. The farm stand, which is also one of the older buildings in the complex, was originally used as a wagon shed, and was converted to its present use in the 1980s. An addition with modern facilities was added to the rear at that time. On the north side of River Street, across from the main complex, stands the White Cape. This 1-1/2 story wood frame Cape style house was built c. 1834.</p><br>
<p>The first colonial settler of the farm was Henry Brown, who was granted land believed to be north of that granted to Joseph Frye, for whom Fryeburg is named. Brown sold the land when it was established that his grant fell within Fryeburg, and it was purchased in 1800 by Ephraim Weston. In the first half of the 19th century Weston and his successors amassed a significant number of land holdings in Fryeburg and surrounding towns in Maine and New Hampshire, reaching over 1,000 acre at its greatest extent. John Weston (1834-1909) specialized the farm for livestock production, and had what is now the main farmhouse built, replacing an older Federal-style house.</p><br>
<p>A portion of the Weston&#39;s farm holdings, encompassing more than 185 acre and including their houses and major outbuildings, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Gurley Historic District is a historic district in Gurley, Alabama. The town was originally the plantation of John Gurley, who came to Madison County from North Carolina in the 1830s. In 1857, the Memphis and Charleston Railroad built its line through the property, and Gurley constructed a water tank to service the lines locomotives. A post office was established in 1866, at which time only a few families lived in the area. The town incorporated in 1890, and the population immediately began to grow. Industry was attracted to the area by its abundance of lumber; many sawmills, producers of wooden barrels, and the Eagle Pencil Company set up shop near the town. Retail establishments were centered on Joplin Street, however a fire in 1923 destroyed most of the structures. Depletion of the areas timber and the greater influence of neighboring Huntsville drew industry away in the 1920s and 1930s, though despite declining population a new Madison County High School was built in 1936.</p><br>
<p>The oldest extant building in the district is the Captain Elijah F. Walker House, built in 1874 by the Civil War veteran who would later serve in the Alabama House of Representatives. The majority of the remaining structures were built between 1891 and 1910; notable among them is the H. A. Smith House, an elaborate Queen Anne house built by a carpenter who would later serve as postmaster. Several other houses exhibit Queen Anne, American Craftsman, and Bungalow details, though most are less decorated folk architectural forms. Two churches in the district, the United Methodist church built in 1891 and the Presbyterian church built in 1912, are Gothic Revival in style.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage in 1995 and the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>Rivoli Bay,  is a bay located on the south-east coast of South Australia about 65 km northwest by west of Mount Gambier and about 311 km south-southeast of Adelaide. It was named in 1802 by the Baudin expedition of 1800-03 after André Masséna, the Duke of Rivoli and Marshal of France. It is one of four ‘historic bays’ located on the South Australian coast.</p><br>
<h2>Extent & description</h2><br>
<p>Rivoli Bay lies between Cape Martin at its northern extremity and Cape Buffon at its southern extremity on the south-east coast of South Australia. The bay is described as its ‘central part … is obstructed by numerous reefs, rocky patches, and shoals and is dangerous for navigation’ and as having ‘a sandy beach’ that ‘forms the shore of the bay between Glen Point (sic) and the promontory of Cape Buffon, at the S(outh) end of the bay’. Glenns Point is the point immediately north-east of Cape Martin on the bay’s northern headland. A small island named Penguin Island of 16 m height is located immediately adjacent to Cape Martin. Rivoli Bay is one of four bays on the South Australian coast considered by the Australian government to be a ‘historic bay’ under the Seas and Submerged Lands Act 1973 and was proclaimed as such in 1987 and again in 2006 with the result that the mouth of the bay is on the territorial seas baseline and the waters within the bay are internal waters as per the definition used in United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.</p><br>
<p>Navigation aids are located at both ends of the bay with a lighthouse on the north headland near Cape Martin and a light on the south headland at Cape Buffon.</p><br>
<h2>European discovery</h2><br>
<p>Rivoli Bay was named in 1802 by Peron and Freycinet of the Baudin expedition of 1800-03 after André Masséna, the Duke of Rivoli and Marshal of France.</p><br>
<h2>Ports and other settlements</h2><br>
<p>The following two settlements are located on its shores: Beachport and Southend. Both settlements have port infrastructure consisting of jetties.</p><br>
<h2>Protected areas</h2><br>
<p>The following protected areas adjoin the bay’s extent: the Canunda National Park and the Penguin Island Conservation Park.</p><br>
<p>Earle Town House is a historic house in Greenville, South Carolina. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on August 5, 1969, and is included in the Col. Elias Earle Historic District.</p><br>
<p>Until the end of the 20th century, the house was widely believed to have been built about 1810 for Congressman Elias T. Earle; but Earle never owned the property. The house is more likely to have been built c. 1829-1833 by one Samuel Green or possibly as late as 1834 after the land had been acquired by Elias Drayton Earle, half nephew and son-in-law of Elias T. Earle.</p><br>
<p>In 1856 James A. David bought the house and 35 acres. His son, Charles A. David (1853-1934)—a merchant by profession and essayist, humorist, and cartoonist by avocation—lived in it until 1922. David described it as a "rambling old affair" with a framework "mortised and put together with wooden pegs....The ceilings were so high, the only way it could have been heated in winter would have been to set it on fire."</p><br>
<p>In December 1927, the house was bought by Mary Chevillette Simms Oliphant, granddaughter of 19th-century novelist William Gilmore Simms and the author in her own right of more than a dozen books, including a once widely adopted public school history of South Carolina. In the 1920s Oliphant had Greenville architect William Riddle Ward renovate the house to what she believed was its original Federal style, demolishing one wing, removing the colonnaded porch, and adding three rooms to the second floor. Some original features were preserved, including hand-hewn timbers, brick and rock supports, six-paneled doors, a hand-carved mantelpiece, and a Palladian window in the second story. Oliphant was able to have her house and nearby Whitehall listed on the National Register, the first buildings in Greenville to be so recognized. She also organized a successful petition campaign to dissuade local officials from running a proposed highway bypass through James Street.</p><br>
<p>The Lanneau-Norwood House  is a historic house in Greenville, South Carolina, built c. 1877 by Jacob W. Cagle  for capitalist Charles Henry Lanneau II .</p><br>
<p>After the Civil War, Lanneau, a veteran of Hampton&#39;s Legion, first worked as a bookkeeper for Camperdown Mill and then in 1882 organized Huguenot Mill, one of the first steam-powered textile mills in Upstate South Carolina. Perhaps with money inherited by his first wife, Lanneau was able to build a fashionable and unusually grand residence for contemporary Greenville. After a major fire in 1883, Lanneau rebuilt the house, which burned again in the 1890s.</p><br>
<p>Bankrupt by 1907, Lanneau sold the house to banker and textile financier John Wilkins Norwood, a relative by marriage. Norwood added plumbing, electricity, and a coal furnace and furnished it with drapes, tapestries, and furniture suggested by decorators from Wanamakers in New York. At Norwoods death in 1945, the house passed to his son-in-law and daughter, Claud Sapp and Frances Norwood Funderburk, and then to their son and daughter-in-law George Norwood and Ann Downen Funderburk, who took special interest in the gardens.</p><br>
<p>The house is a 2 1/2-story, brick Second Empire-style mansion with a Mansard roof. The front façade features a central pavilion, projecting corner pavilions, and an octagonal tower that extends 1 1/2-stories above the cornice line of the main block of the house, which includes a one-story, full-width front porch with slender posts and scrolled brackets. Also on the property are a brick garage, a small greenhouse, and a two-room, one-story brick servants’ quarters with a gable roof.</p><br>
<p>The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. In 1977 a granddaughter of J. W. Norwood commissioned a dollhouse replica on a 1:12 scale.</p><br>
<p>Neapoli Voion or Neapolis Voion  also named Vatika  is a small town in Laconia regional unit, southern Greece. It is built near the south end of Malea peninsula, close to the Cape Maleas. It is 335 km southeast of Athens and 115 km south of Sparta. Its port is the gateway for the island of south Peloponnese such as Kythera, Antikythera and Elafonisos. Neapoli is the part of Monemvasia municipality and Voies municipal unit. Its population is 3090 residents according to 2011 census</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Neapoli is built on the same site as the ancient Laconian city of Boeae, built in the 10th or 9th century BC by the Heracleid Boeus. The city later became part of the city-state of Sparta. During the early Roman era the city belonged to the Koinon of Free Laconians and flourished. The city later declined and was completely destroyed in 375 AD by an earthquake. In the Middle Ages, the name was corrupted to Vatika, which is still used for the local citadel. In modern times in this place there was a village after the name Pezoula. In 1837 the Bavarian architect Birbach designed the street plan of a new town that was named Neapoli ("New Town").</p><br>
<h2>Historical population</h2><br>
<h2>Tourism</h2><br>
<p>Offshore from Neapoli is the small island Elafonisos that is famous for its big sandy beaches. Beautiful beaches there are also around Neapoli. The most popular are the sandy beaches Neratzionas and Maganos. Near Neapoli, at the village of Kastania, is located the Kastania Cave known also as Cave of Agios Andreas. It is an impressive cave of 1,500 square meters surface. An interesting village close to Neapolis is Faraklo. It was built by the Venetians and was the most important village of the area during Venetian rule and later Ottoman rule.</p><br>
<p>The Louis St. Gaudens House and Studio is a historic house at Dingleton Hill and Whitten Roads in Cornish, New Hampshire. The 2-1/2 story gambrel-roofed wood frame structure was designed by Moses Johnson and built in 1793-94 at the Shaker village in Enfield, New Hampshire. At that site the building served as the main meeting space for the Shakers, with a main meeting space on the ground floor, offices on the second floor, and guest living quarters in the attic space. The building is similar in construction to buildings designed by Johnson for the Shaker villages in Canterbury, New Hampshire and Sabbathday Lake, Maine.</p><br>
<p>The Shakers stopped using the building in 1893, and sold it in 1902 to the sculptor Louis St. Gaudens. St. Gaudens had the building disassembled and moved to its present location, making a number of alterations to it in the process. Due to rot in some framing members, the building was shortened by 8 ft, and a porch was cut into one side. One of the two main entrance doors was relocated to the side of the building, and dormers were added to enlarge the attic space. The lower floors were divided into a living space (living room below, bedrooms above) and a two-story studio space. A 1-1/2 story ell was added in 1904.</p><br>
<p>St. Gaudens was brother to Augustus St. Gaudens, who was a leading figure in the Cornish Art Colony that flourished in the early 20th century, and whose own Cornish property is now a National Historic Site and National Historic Landmark. This property was occupied by St. Gaudens and his wife until their deaths in the 1950s, and then by their son Paul, a potter.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<p>Unity Town Hall is the town hall of Unity, New Hampshire. It is located in the center of Unity, on the 2nd New Hampshire Turnpike just north of its junction with Center Road. The single-story wood frame structure was built in 1831 as a church for a Baptist congregation. It has modest Greek Revival styling, with plain cornerboards and a cornice with decorative molding. An entry pavilion projects from the main block, echoing its decorative features, and there is a two-stage tower with an open belfry. The building&#39;s design is strongly influenced by the work of Elias Carter, a builder responsible for a number of period churches further south. The Baptists sold the church to the town in 1877.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>La Morada de Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe, also known as Taos Morada, is a holy site and past home of La Fraternidad Piadosa de Nuestro Padre Jesús Nazareno in Taos, New Mexico. The Penitent Brothers, or the Hermanos Penitentes used the Morado for religious study of ancient Catholic lay religious practices.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Land was granted for Taos Morada and the Calvario in 1797 to 1798 by the religious and administrative officials of the Taos Pueblo. The property was to be used by Hermanos for religious purposes. Taos Morada was fully completed in 1834 and was led by Padre Antonio José Martínez. From the 1800s it was a center of Hermanos&#39; religious activity, based upon practices that originated in Spain.</p><br>
<p>By the 1970s there were only a few remaining Hermanos. In 1977 Taos Morada was sold to the Kit Carson Memorial Foundation against the wishes of Taos clergy, parishioners and Hermanos.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and received monies from the National Park Service, the state Historic Preservation Office, and CETA funds for the restoration of Taos Morada to its state during the mid-19th century. The restoration, though, did not allow for religious devotions by Hermanos. In 2005 the museum board agreed to sanction certain devotional exercises, which began April 11, 2006 during Holy Week for Hermanos from Northern New Mexico Moradas. In or after 2008, the Morada became the property of the Catholic Our Lady of Guadalupe Church in Taos and the Archdiocese of Santa Fe. In 2010 a statement by an archbishop claimed that no Hermanos services would be held until he consecrated it.</p><br>
<p>In 2013 it was reported that the grounds are open to the public, but the building interior is private.</p><br>
<p>Ilomska is right tributary of the Ugar river in . It is about 20 km in length, and its source is Vlašić Mountain. It is an essential body of water for surrounding wildlife.</p><br>
<p>lomska flows between the Žežnička Greda (altitude 1,477 m) and Javorak mountains. It has a curved flow around Lisina and Runjavica mountains, through coniferous (fir and spruce) and mixed spuce-beech woods.</p><br>
<p>Its flow below Petrovo polje (Peter&#39;s plain) has sharp curves.</p><br>
<p>The richest right contributors are Manatovac (large stream), Mala Ilomska (Little Ilomska) and Devetero vrela (Nine springs), and left tributary Crna rijeka (Black River). At the Ravni Omar (mountain meadows), below Lisina Mountain, it enters a narrow highland continuing to “Korićanski most” (Korićanis Bridge), and a deep canyon below Korićanske stijene and Marića stijene (Marićis Rocks).</p><br>
<p>After two attractive Ilomska waterfalls, the river flows into the Ugar, a few kilometers downstream from Vitovlje village. The height of the bigger water flow is even (around) 40 meters. Waterfalls in this wildness attract mountain-climbers, tourists and fishermen, and the vertical rocky wall under the river&#39;s falls is suitable for alpinist exercises.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Above Ilomska River there is Korićani village and a canyon below it (Korićanske stijene), the scaffold of more than 200 Bosniaks and Croats – the victims of the Serbs Police and Army forces (on August 21, 1992), a crime prosecuted and sentenced through number of indictments at The ICTY Tribunal in The Hague.</p><br>
<p>Lacepede Bay  is a bay in the Australian state of South Australia located on the state&#39;s south-east coast about 140 km northwest of Mount Gambier and about 240 km southeast of Adelaide. It was named in 1802 by the Baudin expedition of 1800-03 after Bernard Germain de Lacépède, the French naturalist. It is one of four ‘historic bays’ located on the South Australian coast.</p><br>
<h2>Extent & description</h2><br>
<p>Lacepede Bay lies between a locality known as Granite Rocks at its northern extremity and Cape Jaffa at its southern extremity on the south-east coast of South Australia. The bay is described as: The sandy shore is backed by sandhills, gradually decreasing in height, for a distance of 7 nmi S(outh) of Granite Rocks. Kingston is situated on the S(outh) side of the entrance to Maria Creek, at the head of the bay. Between Kingston and Cape Jaffa, the land is low and swampy, with a wooded bank behind the sandy beach; there is a prominent white sand patch on the bank above the beach, 9 nmi SW of Kingston.</p><br>
<p>Lacepede Bay is one of four bays on the South Australian coast considered by the Australian government to be a ‘historic bay’ under the Seas and Submerged Lands Act 1973 and was proclaimed as such in 1987 and again in 2006 and 2016 with the result that the mouth of the bay is on the territorial seas baseline and the waters within the bay are internal waters as per the definition used in United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.</p><br>

<p>The Henderson National Bank building is a historic bank building in Huntsville, Alabama. One of the only Art Moderne style buildings in Huntsville, the bank was built in 1948. The outer walls are constructed of large blocks of ashlar, while the base and entrance surround on the Jefferson Street façade are lined with dark green stone. The recessed double doors sit below a tall, multi-pane toplight. The entry is flanked by tall, multi-pane windows, giving the façade a much more vertical orientation than the early 20th-century commercial brick style. The upper portion is inscribed with two geometric flower shapes in relief and the name of the bank. The corner wall is rounded, leading to more tall windows along the side. A drive-up teller window was added to the rear of the building in 1958, which is faced with light tan brick.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>Anxious Bay is a bay in the Australian state of South Australia located on the west coast of Eyre Peninsula about 275 km west north-west of Adelaide. It was named by Matthew Flinders on 21 February 1802. It is one of four ‘historic bays’ located on the South Australian coast.</p><br>
<h2>Extent & description</h2><br>
<p>Anxious Bay lies between Cape Radstock and Cape Finniss on the west coast of Eyre Peninsula. Anxious Bay itself is the entry point for the following minor coastal inlets from west to east - Baird Bay and Venus Bay.</p><br>
<p>It is one of four bays on the South Australian coast considered by the Australian government to be a ‘historic bay’ under the Seas and Submerged Lands Act 1973 and proclaimed as such in 1987 and again in 2006 with the result that the mouth of the bay is on the territorial seas baseline and the waters within the bay are internal waters as per the definition used in United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.</p><br>

<p>The Hundley House is a historic residence in Huntsville, Alabama. The house was built in 1900 by Oscar Richard Hundley, a lawyer who served as City Attorney, State Representative, State Senator, and was appointed a judge to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama. Soon after, he built three rental houses, two directly behind his house and one a block away. Hundley left Huntsville for Birmingham in 1909 and the house was later used as a funeral home and offices.</p><br>
<p>The house was one of the last large houses built in close proximity to Courthouse Square. It is based on the Queen Anne style, but features Colonial Revival and Shingle Style details. The front façade has a round bay on one corner and full-width porch below a large gambrel gable. The steeply pitched hipped roof is covered in red-painted metal with numerous protruding gabled bays and dormers. The ground floor is clad with clapboards and the second floor with square shakes.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>The Fisher–Chapman Farmstead is a historic farm located at 24818 Homeridge Dr. north of Jerseyville, Illinois. Cornelius B. Fisher, a New Jerseyan who began farming in Jersey County in 1838, established the farm and built its Italianate farmhouse in 1867. The farmhouses characteristic Italianate features include its central belvedere, its hipped roofs wide eaves with paired brackets, and its tall, narrow windows with arched lintels. State senator Theodore S. Chapman purchased the farm in 1891 and renamed it Homeridge; the Chapman family ran the farm until 1960. The farm is a well-preserved representative of a working farm, and two of its contributing buildings once housed hired farm workers. In addition, the farm&#39;s production in the 20th century reflected statewide agricultural trends towards grain farming rather than livestock farming.</p><br>
<p>The farm was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 15, 2012.</p><br>
<p>The Mark Wentworth House, also known as the Gov. John Wentworth House, is a historic house at 346 Pleasant Street in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Built in 1763, it is notable for its fine Georgian finishes, and for its associations with leading political and economic figures of 18th and 19th-century Portsmouth. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. It has since the early 20th century been part of a senior care complex.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Mark Wentworth House stands southeast of downtown Portsmouth, on the south side of Pleasant Street at Wentworth Street. The house is oriented facing north to the street, and is extended southward to the South Mill Pond by a large modern addition that houses the bulk of the senior care facilities. The house is 2-1/2 stories in height, with a hip roof and clapboarded exterior. The building corners have wooden quoins, and the cornice is lined with modillion blocks. The main facade is five bays wide, with symmetrical arrangement. The entrance at the center is topped by a half-round transom window, and is sheltered by a Federal-period portico with a modillioned cornice and hip roof surrounded by a low balustrade. The interior of the house continues the high quality wooden finishes.</p><br>
<p>The mansion was built in 1763 by Henry Appleton, a merchant, who sold it to Mark Hunking Wentworth, one of New Hampshires wealthiest merchants and landowners, the following year. Wentworths son John was appointed Royal Governor of New Hampshire in 1767, and occupied the house from then until his departure on the eve of the American Revolutionary War in 1775. Mark Wentworth maintained ownership of the house during the first part of this period, and transferred the property to his daughter Anna Fisher in 1770. It was sold out of the Wentworth family in 1797, and repurchased by Ebenezer Wentworth in 1810. In the early 1900s Wentworth descendants adapted the property for use as an elder care facility, a role it continues to serve today.</p><br>
<p>The Whidden-Ward House is a historic house at 411 High Street in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Probably built in the late 1720s, it is a well-preserved example of Georgian architecture. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Whidden Ward House is located on the southwest side of High Street, southeast of its junction with Deer Street. It is located in an area known as The Hill, a cluster of historic properties south of Deer Street which was created as part of a road widening project. It is a 2-1/2 story L-shaped wood frame structure, with a gabled and hipped roof and clapboarded exterior. A single brick chimney is located at one end. Its main facade is five bays wide, with a center entrance flanked by pilasters and topped by a four-light transom and a pedimented gable. The first-floor windows are topped by gables. The interior has a particularly fine carved Georgian staircase, with an arched window at the landing.</p><br>
<p>The house is thought to have been built in the early 1720s by Michael Whidden, a joiner, and was originally located on Deer Street, an area that was platted for development in 1712. After his death in 1773 the house was purchased by Nathum Ward, who extensively renovated the property, giving it most of its surviving late-Georgian appearance. The only major addition to the house was a 19th-century leanto extension to the rear. The building was moved to its present location in the 1970s, and is now in commercial use.</p><br>
<p>Greenville Gas and Electric Light Company, also known as Duke Power Steam Plant, is a historic power plant located at Greenville, South Carolina. The two brick vernacular Victorian style buildings were built about 1890. The larger building served as a coal-fueled, steam-powered electric generating plant, and is a one-story, rectangular building with round arched window and door openings. The second building is a two-story rectangular building originally used as offices for the power company. They were originally owned and operated by the Greenville Gas and Electric Light and Power Company, then sold in 1910, to a company that later evolved into Duke Power Company.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Vrbanja is a river in Central Bosnia, Bosnia and Herzegovina; with Ugar, the largest right tributary of the Vrbas. Its basin covers an area of approximately 703.5 km. It has significant hydropower potential. There are many different estimations of the Vrbanja&#39;s length, from 84 km to 95.4 km.</p><br>
<h2>Name</h2><br>
<p>Like many other sites in Bosnia, Vrbanja is named after the willows that grow along the river from Kruševo Brdo to Banja Luka. Other examples are Vrbanjci village and Vrbanja, near Banja Luka, as well as Vrbas and a bridge in the center of Sarajevo.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The Vrbanja source is on the slopes of Vlašić Mountain, upstream of Pilipovina village (at about 1,530 meters above sea level). The area around the source is called "Prelivode", with a radius of around 2-3 kilometers. Prelivode is on a ridge between the Vlašić (1933 m) and Meokrnje (1425 m) mountains.</p><br>
<p>The Vrbanja flows through Kruševo Brdo, Šiprage, Obodnik, Vrbanjci, Kotor Varoš, Zabrđe, Čelinac and the settlement of Vrbanja. It joins the Vrbas river in Banja Luka.</p><br>
<p>During the Austro-Hungarian administration of 1878-1914, a wide network of railway communications was built along the Vrbanja, with the support of the Bosnian Government. Exploitation of the natural resources (especially wood and mining) was the primary intended purpose of this investment. The railroad was built along the valley of the Vrbanja from Kotor Varoš to Šiprage, where it branched along a few tributaries of the river. It leads to the area of the Riječice, across the pass between Jasen and Šepirice.</p><br>
<h2>Tributaries</h2><br>
<p>The river is fed by numerous tributaries from Vlašić, Čemernica, Borja and Uzlomac mountains. The most significant right-side tributaries are the Bobovica, Lopača, Trnovac, Crkvenica, Kruševica, Jezerka, Bosanka, and Jošavka, and the most significant left-side tributaries, the Čudnić, Ćorkovac, Demićka, Sadika, Grabovička rijeka, Duboka river, Vigošća/Vigošta, Cvrcka and Jakotina.</p><br>
<h2>Vrbanja valley in war in Bosnia</h2><br>
<p>During the War in Bosnia (1992 – 1995), Serbian Police and Army forces destroyed many of the surrounding Bosniak and Croat villages along the Vrbanja valley, from Kruševo Brdo downstream to Banja Luka. The local civilian population was killed or displaced and their homes and properties were destroyed.</p><br>
<p>Lake Chillisquaque  is a lake and reservoir in Montour County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It has a surface area of 165 acres. The lake is situated on Middle Branch Chillisquaque Creek, which it is named after. Nearby communities include Danville and Washingtonville. The lake has an elevation of 567 ft above sea level and is up to 40 ft deep. It has several coves, including Goose Cove, Heron Cove, and Jellyfish Cove. The lake is dammed on its southern side by the Lake Chillisquaque Dam, which is 2,000 ft long and 54 ft high. The metals with the highest concentrations are calcium and iron. Nonmetals such as nitrogen and phosphorus are also found in the lake. It experiences agricultural runoff as well.</p><br>
<p>Lake Chillisquaque is owned by Pennsylvania energy company Talen. It was constructed in 1972 and was originally created to serve as a supply of cooling water for the Montour Power Plant (a purpose which it still serves), but has also come to be used for recreational purposes. Approximately 200 bird species have been observed on or near the lake and more than 50 species of waterfowl pass by the lake during migration. It is also inhabited by numerous species of fish, some of which are stocked by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission. Various trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants live in the vicinity of the lake as well. The main recreational activities on or near Lake Chillisquaque include fishing, boating, and hiking. The lake is also surrounded by the Montour Preserve, a nature preserve.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Lake Chillisquaque is located on Middle Branch Chillisquaque Creek, in Anthony Township. The lake can be accessed via Pennsylvania Route 44 and Pennsylvania Route 54. The nearest road is Preserve Road/State Route 1006. With a surface area of 165 acres, the lake is the largest of 82 bodies of water in Montour County. Lake Chillisquaque is the only reservoir in Montour County. Lake Chillisquaque is surrounded by forested hills and agricultural land. The Muncy Hills are situated to the north of the lake.</p><br>
<p>Large parts of Lake Chillisquaque are fairly shallow. Most of Heron Cove is less than 10 ft deep and a large area near the lakes boat ramp is approximately 20 ft deep. The deepest parts of the lake, near the lakes dam, are 40 ft deep. There are also basking platforms for turtles on the lake.</p><br>
<h3>Dam</h3><br>
<p>Lake Chillisquaque is dammed by an earth-fill dam known as the Lake Chillisquaque Dam. Located on the southern side of the lake, the dam is 2,000 ft long and 54 ft high.</p><br>
<p>According to the Montour County Multi-jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan, a major failure in the Lake Chillisquaque Dam could cause damage to several nearby communities, such as Strawberry Ridge and Washingtonville. It could also result in a decrease in the output of the Montour Power Plant, causing a brownout in the area. A severe failure of the dam is considered by the Multi-jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan to be the most dangerous threat to Montour County.</p><br>
<h2>Hydrology</h2><br>
<p>The water temperature of Lake Chillisquaque ranges from 10.4 &deg;C to 28.7 &deg;C in the summer. The specific conductance of the lake ranges from 135 to 202 micro-siemens per centimeter. The lake&#39;s pH is between 6.6 and 9.3. It is a dimictic lake.</p><br>
<p>The concentration of hydrogen ions in the waters of Lake Chillisquaque ranges from 0.00011 to 0.00031 milligrams per liter. The concentration of dissolved oxygen ranges from 0.1 to 10.8 milligrams per liter and the concentration of carbon dioxide in the lake is between 0.1 and 41 milligrams per liter. There are between 3.0 and 5.8 milligrams per liter of organic carbon in the lake. The total concentration of nitrogen in the lakes waters ranges from 0.34 to 3.1 milligrams per liter, while the concentration of ammonia ranges from less than 0.026 to 3.21 milligrams per liter. The phosphorus concentration ranges from 0.015 to 0.172 milligrams per liter. The waters of Lake Chillisquaque also contain varying amounts of metals. These include calcium, whose concentration ranges from 15.6 to 20.9 milligrams per liter and magnesium, whose concentration ranges from 3.7 to 6.2 milligrams per liter. Additionally, the concentration of copper is less than four milligrams per liter and the lead concentration is less than one microgram per liter. The lakes iron concentration ranges from 30 to 13,000 micrograms per liter, its manganese concentration ranges from less than 2 to 4620 micrograms per liter, its zinc concentration ranges from less than 10 to 57 micrograms per liter. The lake&#39;s concentration of aluminum ranges from 200 to 1400 micrograms per liter.</p><br>
<p>The light intensity on the surface of Lake Chillisquaque is 1200 micro-moles per square meter. 15 ft below the surface of the lake, the light intensity is only 100 micro-moles per square meter. At this depth, only light wavelengths between 450 and 700 nanometers are visible, with 550-millimeter wavelengths (green light) being the most common. The Sechhi depth of the lake ranges from 1.20 m to 3.80 m.</p><br>
<h2>History and etymology</h2><br>
<p>Lake Chillisquaque is named after Middle Branch Chillisquaque Creek, which in turn is derived from a chillisuagi, a Native American word for "song of the wild goose". It was built in 1972 by the PPL, with the dam having been constructed in 1971.</p><br>
<p>One person drowned in a boating accident on February 16, 2006, and there was another accidental death in April 2011.</p><br>
<h2>Biology</h2><br>
<h3>Animals</h3><br>
<p>A total of approximately 200 bird species have been observed on or near Lake Chillisquaque, which has been described as "a mecca for migrating birds". Numerous species, including more than 50 species of waterfowl pass by the lake during migration in March. These include ducks, geese, swans, and other species. Shorebirds are also common on the lake. The Montour Preserve and the lake are in the Central Susquehanna Wild Pheasant Recovery Area. A sizable population of ringneck pheasants can be found near the lake.</p><br>
<p>Additionally, numerous species of fish and stocked in Lake Chillisquaque by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission. These include bullhead catfish, largemouth bass, yellow perch, northern pike, and several other species. An electrofishing survey done by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission on Lake Chillisquaque discovered 54 walleyes from 5 to 23 in long and 48 largemouth bass from 8 to 18 in.</p><br>
<h3>Plants</h3><br>
<p>Twelve tree species have been observed near Lake Chillisquaque. These include two oak species, two maple spaces, red elm, boxelder, shagbark hickory, black tupelo, American basswood, eastern hop-hornbeam, black ash, and musclewood. Ten shrub species also grow near the lake. These include three dogwood species, two holly species, multiflora rose, Morrow&#39;s honeysuckle, speckled alder, spicebush, and mayberry. Eighteen species of herbs live on the lake, as well. Five of these species are sedges. Cattails and beds of grass grow along the shores of Lake Chillisquaque. Additionally, a sizable population of Rotala ramosior grows on the lake.</p><br>
<h3>Microbes</h3><br>
<p>Various types of cyanobacteria inhabit Lake Chillisquaque. The specific genera that inhabit the lake vary at different times of the year and also at different depths within the lake. Due to the presence of light attenuation in the lake, light plays a role in determining which species of cyanobacteria inhabit it.</p><br>
<p>In September 2009, the most common type of microbe on the surface of Lake Chillisquaque was Oscillatoria, which made up approximately 75 percent of the total. Raphidiopsis was the second most common type, making up approximately 15 percent of the total. In May 2010, approximately 40 percent of the microbes were Navicula and 35 percent were Oscillatoria. Slightly less than 10 percent of the microbes are Anabaena. In July 2010, Oscillatoria and Synechococcus each made up approximately 25 percent of the microbes and between 10 and 15 percent were Anabaena.</p><br>
<p>Slightly less than 60 percent of the microbes 15 ft under the surface of Lake Chillisquaque were of the genus Oscillatoria in September 2009. Slightly more than 10 percent each of the microbes were of the genera Xylophilus and Verrucomicrobia. In May 2010, slightly less than 40 percent of the microbes in the depths of the lake were of the genus Dolichospermum. The genera Synechococcus, Navicula, and Xylophilus each made up approximately 20 percent of the microbes. In July 2010, nearly 85 percent of the microbes were of the genus Xylophilus and less than 10 percent were of the genus Oscillatoria.</p><br>
<h2>Recreation</h2><br>
<p>Fishing, including ice fishing, is a common pastime on Lake Chillisquaque. Fishing and boating are permitted on the lake at any time of day, although boats fuelled by gasoline are forbidden. Boating of any kind is also forbidden annually between March 15 and April 30 and is also forbidden in Goose Cove year-round. The only area for boating access on the lake is on the eastern side of the lake, at the Heron Cove Boat Access Area. The paddling and running stages of the Chilli Challenge triathlon are on Lake Chillisquaque and the Chillisuagi Trail, respectively.</p><br>
<p>Lake Chillisquaque is surrounded by a thousand-acre nature preserve known as the Montour Preserve, which is also owned by the PPL. A 148-acre wildlife refuge is also located near the lake. A pair of hiking trails known as the Chillisuagi Trail and the Ridgefield Point Trail circumnavigate the lake. Their combined length is 4.8 mi. The latter trail is not blazed. The Chillisuagi Trail is wide and fairly flat for part of its length, but is hillier near Goose Cove. On the eastern side of the lake, the trail stays close to the shoreline, but it passes through fields, meadows, and forests on the western side. The scenery on Lake Chillisquauque is described as "good to very good" by Jeff Mitchell in his book Paddling Pennsylvania: Canoeing and Kayaking the Keystone State&#39;s Rivers and Lakes. The lake is one of 18 lakes in Pennsylvania with Panfish Enhancement Special Regulations.</p><br>
<p>The Terry Hutchens Building is a historic office and apartment building in Huntsville, Alabama. The seven story structure was originally constructed in 1925 for the Tennessee Valley Bank, with office space rented to other tenants. In 2002, the upper floors were renovated into condominiums. The structure is of steel reinforced concrete faced with brick, giving a Gothic Revival appearance. The ground floor façade has large display windows separated by brick piers, and has a central, arched entry covered in masonry. The Jefferson Street façade was originally treated the same way, but was modified with a flat wall of thin brick above two storefront entrances. A decorative band with rowlock course brick and terra cotta panels separate the ground floor from the rest of the building. Above, the piers divide each bay containing a pair of one-over-one sash windows; on the seventh floor, a green terra cotta frog sits on the sill, between the windows. Each bay of the cornice is divided by terra cotta decorated with Gothic shapes and medallions on panels of brick. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
