<p>The Hundley Rental Houses are historic residences in Huntsville, Alabama. The houses were built by Oscar Richard Hundley, a prominent local judge and politician. Hundley built the two houses behind his own, along with a third one block away, in 1905. The houses all represent the transition from Victorian styles popular in the late 19th century to Colonial Revival styles of the early 20th century. A fire damaged the house at 400 Franklin Street in 1909, and a rear addition was likely added at this time. Hundley sold his own house the same year, and sold 400 Franklin in 1912 and 108 Gates Avenue in 1918. The houses are in use today as offices.</p><br>
<p>108 Gates, also known as the Hundley-Van Valkenburgh House, is a two story house with strong Victorian influences. The main roof is a Dutch gable, with the gable projecting over a chamfered bay. Both floors of the chamfered bay have a small, multi-light window, while all other windows on the house are one-over-one sashes.</p><br>
<p>400 Franklin, also known as the Hundley-Clark House, is a two story Dutch Colonial Revival structure, with the second floor featuring large gambrel gables. Both houses have similar full-width, one story porches, supported by plain wooden columns with tapered capitals. The houses also have similar front doors, with a transom and sidelights with diamond-shaped panes, although 108 Gates lacks the sidelights.</p><br>
<p>The houses were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>Brushy Creek, also known as Vardry McBee House and Alexander McBee House, is a historic home located at Greenville, South Carolina. It was built about 1836 as a 1 1/2-story, frame farmhouse. In 1924, the house was expanded with the addition of a one-story frame room, that incorporated the formerly separate kitchen into the house itself. Further renovations were made in 1938–1939 and 1951. Also on the property are a log barn, a brick shed, a well house, and the ruins of a grist mill. It was the home of Vardry McBee , prominent 19th-century businessman, entrepreneur, and delegate to the Secession Convention of Greenville District known as the “Father of Greenville,” and his son Alexander McBee , prominent 19th-century businessman, banker, and state representative of Greenville District.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>The Cornet Thomas Wiggin House is a historic house at 249 Portsmouth Avenue  in Stratham, New Hampshire. Probably built in the 1770s, it is a remarkably little-altered example of vernacular Federal period architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Cornet Thomas Wiggin House is located north of the town center of Stratham, on the north side of Portsmouth Avenue at its junction with Depot Road. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a side gable roof, two interior brick chimneys, and a clapboarded exterior. The main facade is five bays wide, with a symmetrical arrangement of windows around a center entrance. The entrance includes an original wide six-panel door, flanked by tapered flat pilasters, which rise to a transom window and corniced entablature. This surround is believed to date to about 1830, when other alterations were made to the building. A two-story ell extends to the left, and a single-story ell extends to the rear, projecting slightly to the right side.</p><br>
<p>The house was built c. 1775, although it was apparently not completed until the 1790s, after the death of Thomas Wiggin and the resolution of legal disputes concerning his estate. The interior is thought to have been finished by Nathan Barker, Wiggin&#39;s son-in-law and eventual purchaser of the property. The house is a well-preserved example of vernacular Federal architecture, and the property includes a barn that is believed to date to the same period.</p><br>
<p>The Woodman Road Historic District of South Hampton, New Hampshire, is a small rural residential historic district consisting of two houses on either side of Woodman Road, a short way north of the state line between New Hampshire and Massachusetts. The Cornwell House, on the west side of the road, is a Greek Revival wood frame house built c. 1850. Nearly opposite stands the c. 1830 Verge or Woodman House, which is known to have been used as a meeting place for a congregation of Free Will Baptists between 1830 and 1849.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Cornwell House</h2><br>
<p>The Cornwell House is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, set on a rise overlooking the road. It has a front-facing gable roof and clapboarded exterior. Its main facade is three bays wide, with the entrance set in a recess in the right bay. The building corners are pilastered, and the roof gable exhibits paired Italianate brackets. A three-season porch is set on the right side, and a pair of ells extend to the rear, connecting to a modern garage.</p><br>
<h2>Verge House</h2><br>
<p>The Verge House is also a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, and is set facing south nearer the road than the Cornwell House. It is three bays wide, with a side gable roof and shingled exterior. A single-story shed-roof section projects along the width of the main facade, with the entrance recessed under a porch in the leftmost section. A 1-1/2 story ell extends to the east, and the property also includes a 19th-century barn and 25 acre of former farmland.</p><br>
<p>The Las Vegas Plaza is a plaza and historic district in Las Vegas, New Mexico. The plaza was originally laid out in 1835 by Mexican settlers and is surrounded by a number of historically and architecturally notable buildings. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Las Vegas was established in 1835 after a group of settlers received a land grant from the Mexican government. The town was laid out in the traditional Spanish Colonial style, with a central plaza surrounded by adobe buildings which could serve as fortifications in case of attack. Las Vegas soon prospered as a stop on the Santa Fe Trail. During the Mexican-American War in 1846, Stephen W. Kearny delivered an address at the plaza from atop what is thought to be the surviving Dice Apartments building, claiming New Mexico for the United States. In 1854, visiting attorney W. W. H. Davis wrote that the plaza "more resembled a muddy field than a public square, and all sorts of four-footed domestic animals were roaming at large over it."</p><br>
<p>Las Vegas prospered with the arrival of the railroad in 1880, and many of the one-story adobe buildings surrounding the plaza were replaced by larger and grander structures like the Italianate style Plaza Hotel and Ilfeld Building. During this period, the plaza itself was cleared of livestock and wagons and converted to a tidy public park with trees, fences, and a bandstand.</p><br>
<h2>Notable buildings</h2><br>
<p>Contributing properties in the Plaza historic district include</p><br>
<p>Plaza Hotel, built 1880</p><br>
<p>Charles Ilfeld Building, built 1882</p><br>
<p>Dice Apartments, the oldest surviving building on the plaza</p><br>
<p>John D. Veeder Building</p><br>
<p>Exchange Hotel, built 1850 (only one wing extant)</p><br>
<p>Romero Mercantile Company Building</p><br>
<p>First National Bank Building, built 1880</p><br>
<p>The Beaumont St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad Retention Pond is a retention pond originally constructed by the St. Louis, Wichita, and Western Railway Company as a supply pond for the Beaumont St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad Water Tank. It served the St. Louis, Wichita & Western Railway, and supplied the water tank, which was used to refill the boilers of steam locomotives on that line. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2011. From the year of construction until about 1955, when the railroad switched to diesel locomotives, this watering station was essential to railroad transportation.</p><br>
<p>The pond is constructed of concrete and metal, and contains a pumphouse with a pump. As the tower was made redundant by the switch to diesel locomotives, the pond and water tank remained vital to the Beaumont community. The pump station was kept active and pipe was laid throughout the town for potable water supply. The tower continued to hold water and was in limited use until 1988.</p><br>
<p>Oaklawn  is a historic residence in Huntsville, Alabama. It was built in 1844 by John Robinson, a longtime revenue commissioner in Madison County who became one of the countys largest landowners. During the Civil War, the house was used by the Union Army as an officers quarters. The family vacated the house in the late 19th century, and during the Spanish–American War, the grounds were used as an army camp and hospital. In 1919, the house was purchased by the Dilworth family and restored from its poor condition. The house was later owned by Max Luther, a prominent local merchant.</p><br>
<p>The Greek Revival house has a five-bay main block with two attached wings to the sides, an unusual layout for the time in Alabama. A portico spans the center three bays, and has four smooth Doric columns supporting a plain entablature and pediment. Pilasters with Doric capitals are present on the corners of both the main block and the wings, as well as terminating the portico. The main block has a gable roof, while the one-story wings have flat roofs with deep cornices forming parapets. There are four interior chimneys in the main block, and one each in the wings. The double entry doors have multi-pane sidelights and a transom. The interior is laid out with a large central hall on both floors, flanked by a pair of rooms on each side. Each wing features one room, with extensions built in the 1920s containing bathrooms. A kitchen was added to the rear in the 1940s.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<p>Jakotina is a left tributary of the Vrbanja river. It rises on the north-eastern slopes of the mountains Čemernica  in the area Rađići village. This locality is above the regional road Banja Luka - Skender Vakuf. The length of this river is about 20 kilometers. Along its course, in the 1970s there were at least 10 water-mills. Its mouth is in the Kotor Varoš, about 200 meters downstream from the old bazaar .</p><br>
<p>After a watershed with Cvrcka (also tributary of Vrbanja), and tributaries of Ugar, Jakotina has a relatively short and deep canyon (depth of about 300 meters). The canyon spreads to the mouth Grabačovac, its richest tributary. Near Kotor Varoš there is also one small and one large waterfall (300 meters above sea level). Large waterfall is called "Bobas&quot its height is about seven metres.</p><br>
<p>On the right slopes above the waterfall there is a source of drinking water that centuries has been connected with popular legends. Above Bobas, there are still remains of the city walls of the medieval town of Kotor (563 m). Up until the end of the World War II, the ruins of a fortress jails and staircase communication between them were preserved. The diameter of the bell on the tower was 5 meters. It is not preserved and the fort was abandoned today</p><br>
<p>During the War in Bosnia (1992-1995), the old bridge on Bobas was destroyed, but (after 1996) ¨"renewed with the support of the European Union".</p><br>
<p>Along Jakotina there is regional road from Kotor Varoš to Skender Vakuf, with access to the road to Travnik (alternative: over Ilomska or Ugar, and Banja Luka.</p><br>
<p>On Bobas, this river divides settlements Kotor (mostly Bosniaks) and Čepak (mostly Croatian). During the War in Bosnia1992-1995, the inhabitants of these town were killed or displaced, as well as other Bosniaks and Croats citizens of the municipality of Kotor Varoš (1992). All non-Serbs settlements in the valley of Vrbanja were extremely devastated, from Kruševo Brdo to Banja Luka.</p><br>
<p>The Seavey-Robinson House is an historic house built in the Carpenter Gothic style in South Portland, Maine. Built c. 1854-57, it is a rare example of a Carpenter Gothic cottage, originally built in a rural setting, since urbanized. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Seavey-Robinson House is located in southern South Portland, on the east side of Ocean Street (Maine State Route 77 at the southeastern corner with Spear Avenue. It is a single-story wood frame structure, with a side gable roof and clapboard siding. The cornice and rake edge of the gable are decorated with delicate vergeboard that has an acorn motif. The main entrance is flanked by pilasters and topped by a gabled cornice with cresting and vergeboard decoration. Windows are topped by bracketed cornices. An open veranda extends across the front, its balustrade also with delicate woodwork.</p><br>
<p>The home is a rare surviving farm cottage is what is now an urban section of South Portland. It was built ca. 1854-1857 by Joseph Seavey, the original owner and a carpenter, and served as a display for his construction abilities. The house was purchased in 1864 by Elipalet Robinson, whose family owned it into the 20th century.</p><br>
<p>Charleston Navy Yard Officers&#39; Quarters Historic District is a national historic district located at the former Charleston Naval Shipyard in North Charleston, South Carolina. It encompasses 24 contributing buildings, 2 contributing sites, 1 contributing structure, and 1 contributing object. The site represents development of the upper echelon of senior military housing, support structures, sports facilities and recreational landscape features from 1901 through 1945. The buildings reflect late Victorian and early-20th century eclectic designs including the Italianate, Neo-Classical, Italian Renaissance Revival, Colonial Revival, and the Works Progress Administration  designed Panama House style.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<p>The Belknap-Sulloway Mill, now the Belknap Mill Museum, is a historic mill at 25 Beacon Street East in Laconia, New Hampshire, a city in Belknap County. Built sometime between 1823 and 1828, it is a rare well-preserved example of an early rural textile mill in New England, and was the business around which the city rose. The mill was in active use for the production of textiles until 1969, undergoing some modest alterations as well as the modernization of its power plant. It was opened as a museum in 1991, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Belknap-Sulloway Mill is located on the east side of downtown Laconia, between Beacon Street East and the Winnipesaukee River, which historically provided the power for the mill. It is a 3-1/2 story brick structure, with a stepped gable roof that has a band of clerestory windows parallel to the ridge on each side. There are slender chimneys at each end, and a wooden cupola at the center which houses a bell. The north-facing main facade is nine bays wide, with a central rectangular projection housing a staircase. Windows are set in plain rectangular openings. The rear of the building has several smaller single-story brick ells.</p><br>
<p>The first mill to stand at this site was a wood frame structure built in 1811, when the area was part of Meredith, New Hampshire. That mill burned in 1823, and this building, its replacement, was reported to be in full operation by 1828. The bell in the cupola is believed to be a recasting of the original mill&#39;s bell. Unlike later mills, which used more fire-resistant materials, its interior uses joisted floor construction. Alterations to the structure since its construction include the addition of the door to the stair tower (before 1875) and the ells, which include a c. 1900 addition housing three power turbines.</p><br>
<p>This mill, along with the nearby Busiel-Seeburg Mill, were responsible for the growth of the area (originally known as Meredith Bridge) into what is now Laconia. It remained in active use until 1969, and opened as a museum in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The Belmont Library is the public library of Belmont, New Hampshire. It is located at 146 Main Street, in an architecturally distinguished single-story brick Colonial Revival structure designed by Wells & Hudson and built in 1927-28.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and history</h2><br>
<p>The Belmont Library is located near the center of the towns village center, at the corner of Main and Mill streets. It is a modest single-story masonry structure, built out of red brick and covered by a gabled slate roof. It has a three-bay front facade, with windows occupying the outer bays and the main entrance the center. The windows are rectangular sash, topped by a keystoned lintel and fronted by a shallow wrought iron balcony. The entrance is sheltered by a narrow portico, which has paired Corinthian columns rising to an entablature and bracketed full pediment. The librarys name appears on the entablature. The entry is set in a round-arch opening, with flanking sidelight windows and a half-round transom window above. The interior has fine decorative woodwork, and is laid out with a central librarian&#39;s desk and flanking reading rooms. The vestibule area and the end fireplaces each project into the space. The basement houses a small auditorium.</p><br>
<p>The library was established in 1893, and was originally located in the second floor of the Hose House (fire station). This building was constructed when the library outgrew that space, and was a gift (along with an operating endowment) of the Duffy brothers, owners of the Belmont Hosiery Company. It is one of the finest examples of Colonial Revival architecture in New Hampshire&#39;s Lakes Region. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>St. Marks Episcopal Church is a historic church complex at 73 Columbia Road in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. The complex consists of three buildings: a chapel, rectory, and parish hall. All three were built between 1904 and 1909, with the last significant alteration to the exterior of the church occurring in 1916. All three buildings were designed by Edmund O. Sylvester, and present a unified architectural statement of Craftsman styling with some English Gothic  detailing. The congregation was established as a mission in 1887 after fire destroyed the St. Marys Church on Bowdoin Street, and a portion of its congregation began to meet in the Grove Hall area of Dorchester. This new congregation was formally organized in 1897 and purchased land for this church the following year.</p><br>
<p>The church complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<p>Ćorkovac is an eastern confluent of the Vrbanja river in Bosnia. It begins on the north-eastern slopes of the Vlašić mountains plateau, and the mouth opens at Šiprage, where the towns sawmill was. The spring of Ćorkovac is 1,150 metres above sea level, and its length is around 6 kilometres. It flows between the Jasen and Stražbenica mountains to its estuary. The watermills were in operation until the 1960s.</p><br>
<p>In the relatively narrow area there is a fertile and wide riverhead between Ćorkovac, Ilomska, Čudnić, Kovačevići&#39;s stream, Grabovička rijeka, Kobilja, Ugrić and other confluents of Vrbanja and the Ugar river.</p><br>
<p>The crest of the riverhead directs towards the villages of Petrovo Polje, Imljani, Vlatkovići, and the Skender Vakuf Municipality.</p><br>
<p>Nearby, below the ridge there are springs from an unnamed eastern confluent of Ćorkovac and (on right) Zuhrićis stream (Slatki potok=Sweet stream). Across the Stream there were Zuhrići and Vrbovo Willages, which were destroyed duering spring of 1992. Local inhabitants were killed and displaced, as well as all Bosniaks and Croats settlements at the mouth of Vrbanja river (Vrbas). After the 1996, the destroyed willages in Šiprages region are reconstructed by Battalion BELUGA (Belgium – Luxembourg – Greece – Austria), from IFOR/SFOR Mission.</p><br>
<p>The W. T. Hutchens Building is a historic commercial building in Huntsville, Alabama, United States. A three-bay building on the corner of Jefferson Street and Clinton Avenue, the two corner bays were built in 1916 and the third built in a nearly identical style in 1921. It was built in the Early Commercial brick style, which departed from highly ornamented, vertically-oriented Victorian styles, instead emphasizing horizontal orientation by using strong horizontal courses and shorter, wider windows. It contrasts with the later Terry Hutchens Building, across Clinton Avenue, which is representative of later, again vertically-oriented Gothic Revival styles.</p><br>
<p>The two-story structure was built with retail space on the ground floor and offices and (in the case of the south bay), apartments on the second. The ground floor has large display windows which are modern replacements; originally, the corner bays were divided into two storefronts, separated by a sidewalk door leading to the second floor. Above the windows, the corner unit retains its original Luxfer prism windows, while the middle bays have been replaced with panes of regular glass. A wide band of decorated terra cotta separates the two floors. Upstairs windows are paired one-over-one sashes, with lintels made of brick with terra cotta blocks. A terra cotta cornice projects from the façade. The ground floor of the south unit has been modified with tall windows between heavy wooden pilasters. A wooden molding joins the corner units terra cotta molding, which together with a row of ashlar on the cornice gives continuity to the new and old portions of the building.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>The Jude–Crutcher House  is a historic plantation house in Huntsville, Alabama. The house was built circa 1812 on land deeded that year to Samuel Echols. Echols sold 54 acres and the house to George Jude, Sr., in 1817. Jude died two years later, leaving the land to his son, George Jr. The younger Jude eventually acquired 800 acres  and owned 31 slaves. Upon his death in 1873, the land stayed in the family until 1883. In 1906 David Crutcher, who had been born a slave on an adjacent plantation in 1851, purchased the house and 154 acres  along with two other African-American men. The Crutchers operated a successful farm on their portion of the land, which was an extension farm for Alabama A&M University until the 1940s. Only 7% of African-American farmers in Madison County in 1910 owned their own farms. David died in 1924, and his wife, Lucy, died in 1943, although the house and land is still in the family.</p><br>
<p>The house is a -story dogtrot structure, although the central breezeway was enclosed in the mid-20th century. A plain gabled porch was added at the same time, and shelters the modern front door and a pair of two-over-two sash windows. Six-over-six windows of different sizes sit on either side of the porch, and the façade is clad in clapboards. The metal gable roof has chimneys in each gable end. The interior is of the typical dogtrot layout of two rooms flanking the now-enclosed central hall. A rear shed roofed addition was built to house a bathroom and kitchen.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage in 1999 and the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<p>Jebel Dahar  is a low sandstone mountain chain of the Médenine Governorate of Tunisia.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The chain is oriented on a north-south axis, bisecting the south of Tunisia. At the northern end, it meets the east-west-oriented Jebel Tebaga. The Sahara lies to the south and west of it, and the fertile Jeffara plain to the east. It runs for over 100 km south from Matmata, curving gently to the east to sink beneath the dunes of the Grand Erg Oriental near Tataouine. Foothills extend for a further 100 km to the border with Libya, beyond which the chain continues as the Nafusa Mountains.</p><br>
<p>The peaks of Jebel Dahar are lower than those of the Dorsale and Atlas chains. The tallest is Djebel Zemertène, at 713 m. However, they are imposing in form: most are steep-sided mesas, separated by either narrow ravines or wide valleys.</p><br>
<h2>Climate and vegetation</h2><br>
<p>The local climate is extremely arid with frequent wind. The temperature often falls below 0 &deg;C at night during the winter, and rises as high as 45 &deg;C during the day in summer. There are approximately 15&ndash;20 days of precipitation a year, primarily in winter and in the form of localised showers. There is little vegetation, consisting of lucerne, thorn bushes, and the occasional palm tree, giving the landscape a lunar appearance.</p><br>
<h2>Settlement and agriculture</h2><br>
<p>Jebel Dahar has been inhabited for thousands of years by various Berber tribes, who farm the mountain slopes on terraced fields to retain runoff water from the rare rainfall. This is called the jessour system after the native word jessr and uses earth and rock dykes to define the terraces and hold water, with spillways to divert excess to a terrace below. Olive and fruit trees and vegetables are cultivated. A number of jessour fields can be seen around Matmata.</p><br>
<p>The mountains have served as a refuge for the Berbers of the plains following the Hilalian invasions of the 11th century. They built fortified villages (ksars) and cave dwellings to adapt to the harsh climate and for defence.</p><br>
<h3>Cave dwellings</h3><br>
<p>Jebel Dahar is known for its cave dwellings. These are excavated in two forms: dugouts and tunnels into the mountainside.</p><br>
<p>For a dugout dwelling, a shaft 5 - deep and up to 12 m in diameter is sunk, from the bottom of which horizontal tunnels radiate to serve as rooms; the openings to these are uncovered or covered only by a carpet. Shelves, racks, benches and beds are cut out of the walls. Sometimes further rooms are created which are reached by means of a rope and steps cut in the wall; these are used for storage and traditionally for the first week after a couples marriage. A tunnel is dug from the inside to form an exit, with a slight downwards incline so that any rain water can run out of the dwelling. These exit tunnels are usually winding and have niches for stabling animals. The exit door is usually decorated with traditional symbols such as the hand of Fatima or a fish, and is often concealed between rocks and bushes. There is sometimes a nomads tent and a shelter for animals nearby.</p><br>
<p>The more common and widespread type of cave dwelling is constructed by boring a tunnel into the side of the mountain; softer stone is excavated to form rooms, with the tailings sometimes being used in walls or terrace dykes, and the harder rock left in place to form ceilings and floors. Often several such tunnels are stacked one above the other, topped by a structure used for storage and defence.</p><br>
<p>The cave dwellings are well adapted to the climate, remaining cool in summer and retaining warmth in winter, and it is disputed how far they should be regarded as defensive as opposed to purely practical. Some have been equipped with electricity and running water. Nonetheless, few families remain in them. The majority, especially younger people, have moved into the new blocks of flats in urban areas, which are sometimes unpleasantly cold in winter and require air conditioning in summer, but offer electric stoves, washing machines, and other modern comforts. The ancient settlement of Matmata is thus increasingly being deserted in favour of Nouvelle (New) Matmata, 15 km away. In addition to Matmata, some cave dwellers remain in Beni Aïssa und Beni Métir, approximately 10 to 20 km away.</p><br>
<h3>Fortified settlements</h3><br>
<p>As in all of south Tunisia, an alternative traditional building type is the ksar (plural ksour), an assemblage of usually multi-storey barrel-shaped storage buildings enclosing a rectangular courtyard, with the doors opening inwards so that the outside walls form a defence. These were used by the semi-nomadic Berbers to store their possessions together with grain, oil and animal feed. Generally a single watchman and his family, together with the aged and children, remained there while the remainder of the tribe moved around. In Jebel Dahar, they were often built on steep crags for additional defence; those on the plain are believed to have been constructed in relatively peaceful periods.</p><br>
<h2>Tourism</h2><br>
<p>The largest number of ksour and the best examples are found around Tataouine, where there is a "route of the ksour" comparable to the "route of the kasbahs" in southern Morocco. The best preserved and most attractive ksar is in Chenini, approximately 20 km west of Tataouine. Near there are Douiret, where there is the only underground mosque in Tunisia, open to visits from non-Muslims; impressive storage buildings at Guermessa und Ksar Hadada; and Ksar Ouled Soltane, south of Tataouine.</p><br>
<p>The remaining cave dwellers have responded to increasing numbers of tourists by charging visitors to tour and take photographs of their homes, with what has been called "latent aggressiveness that is only too understandable in view of the hordes of tourists who invade their living spaces and privacy without respect".</p><br>
<p>Tourists are also increasingly drawn to the stark landscape for the effects of the light, particularly at sunrise and sunset. Many make daytrips from Djerba or Zarzis, and tours of Tunisia usually include a side trip to the mountains.</p><br>
<p>Jebel Dahar has also become internationally known as a site of filming in 1977 for Star Wars (near Matmata) and in 2000 for Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones. Local people were employed as cheap extras.</p><br>
<p>The John W. Busiel House is a historic house at 30 Church Street in Laconia, New Hampshire. It was built in 1865 by John W. Busiel, owner of a local textile mill. It is now, as it was at the time of its construction, one of the finest 19th-century houses in the city, and is an excellent and little-altered example of Second Empire style. Since 1905 it has served as the rectory for the St. Joseph Roman Catholic church. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The John W. Busiel House is located on the north side of Laconia&#39;s downtown area, on the north side of Church Street opposite Beacon Street East. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a mansard roof providing a full third floor in the attic level. Its exterior is finished with rusticated horizontal wood planking, with wooden quoins articulating the corners. The main facade is three bays wide, with the main entrance at the center, sheltered by an elaborate flat-roof portico. It is supported by paired round columns, with decorative brackets at the top beneath a dentillated projecting cornice. Windows are set in rectangular openings topped by dentillated projecting caps, and the main roof has a cornice with modillions and dentil moulding. The mansard roof is pierced by three dormers, each capped by a segmented arch with more dentil moulding. The central dormer is slightly wider, with narrow sidelight windows flanking the main window. A two-story ell extends to the right.</p><br>
<p>At the time of this houses construction in 1865, John Busiel was already a prominent local figure as the owner of one of its major businesses. The house, along with a carriage house and shed, were built at the then-high cost of $15,000. It is a relatively early example in the region of the Second Empire style, which did not reach wider popularity until the 1870s, and is certainly Laconias oldest surviving example of the style. The building originally had a cupola, which has (along with the carriage house) been lost. The house was occupied by Busiels widow until 1901, and in 1905 it was purchased by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Manchester for use as a rectory for the neighboring St. Josephs Church.</p><br>
<p>The Busiel-Seeburg Mill is a historic mill building at 1 Mill Plaza in Laconia, New Hampshire. This 3-1/2 story brick structure achieved its present configuration in stages, beginning in 1853, and successively altered and expanded through the rest of the 19th century. The business, established by John W. Busiel in 1846, manufactured knitted hosiery, and was one of the first producers of knitwear to use circular knitting machines invented by Aiken and Peppers. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Busiel-Seeburg Mill is located on the east side of downtown Laconia, between Beacon Street East and the Winnipesaukee River, which historically provided the mill&#39;s power. It is set between Laconia City Hall and the Belknap-Sulloway Mill, another 19th-century mill building. The Busiel-Seeburg Mill is 3-1/2 stories in height, and is built out of red brick with a gabled roof. The main facade is nine bays wide, with a central projecting square stair tower, capped by an octagonal belfry with flared roof. Ornament is limited to brick corbelling along the cornices and gable edges, and on the upper levels of the tower, where there are also round-arch windows. Shed-roof dormers pierce the roof.</p><br>
<p>The mill was built in stages beginning in 1853, when the eastern portion (closest to the river) was built. Its construction is a contrast to the older Belknap-Sulloway Mill, in that it uses more fire-retardant construction methods, and that it represents several different stages of mill evolution through its repeated enlargement. The mill was founded by John Busiel (father of Governor of New Hampshire Charles A. Busiel) and produced knitted hosiery garments. It was one of the first area mills to use innovative circular knitting machines, and its success spurred the growth in the area of business that manufactured knitting needles.</p><br>
<p>The William Lanford House  is a historic residence in Huntsville, Alabama. The house was built by William Lanford, a native of Spotsylvania County, Virginia. Lanfords father, Robert, was an early land speculator who came to Huntsville from Nashville along with LeRoy Pope. William purchased 1,975 acres  in 1843 and built his house in 1850. Lanfords daughter, Mary, married physician John R. Slaughter in 1853, who later moved his practice to the house in William Lanfords later life. Upon his death in 1881, the land was divided among Lanfords daughters, with Mary and Dr. Slaughter remaining in the house. After Mary&#39;s death in 1913, the house was sold to William Olin Camper in 1919. Camper and his brother Robert were merchants in Madison and Huntsville, and owned the Twickenham Hotel in Huntsville.</p><br>
<p>The house is situated on 52 acres (21 ha) between Indian Creek and Cummings Research Park, in extreme western Huntsville near the town of Madison. It exhibits well-proportioned Greek Revival form, with a double-height tetrastyle portico and gently sloped gable roof. The portico base is of brick, with four boxed, tapered columns with Doric capitals. A balcony sits above the front entrance, which is surrounded by pilasters and an entablature, and topped with a Federal-style sunburst fanlight. Windows outside of the portico are six-over-six sashes with Palladianesque narrow sidelights. The interior has a central hall flanked by two rooms on each side. The walls of the front two rooms are built of multiple panels which can be folded up to create a large space for entertaining. A two-room addition off the northwest of the house, constructed in the mid-20th century, contains a den, bedroom, and bathroom, while an enclosed veranda sits off the eastern half of the rear. On the second floor, there are four bedrooms, and a deck over the veranda.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<p>The Montagne des Érables, also known as Mont des Érables, is a massif located in the Charlevoix-Est regional county municipality in the Charlevoix region of Quebec, Canada. It lies in the Hautes-Gorges-de-la-Rivière-Malbaie National Park and is home to l&#39;Acropole des Draveurs, a popular hike in the province. It is accessible via the entrances to the park, the main one being located in Saint-Aimé-des-Lacs.</p><br>
<h2>Etymology</h2><br>
<p>The mountain (along with many other geographic features and manmade installations in the park), whose name translates to "Maple Mountain," takes its name from the unique presence of maples juxtaposed with the tundra.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The massif contains the Acropole des Draveurs (Raftsmen&#39;s Acropolis), a rock face of the mountain, at an elevation higher than 800 m.</p><br>
<h2>Recreation</h2><br>
<h3>Hiking</h3><br>
<p>In order to reach the trails to l&#39;Acropole, hikers must take a bus from the reception. The hike is 10 km round trip with an elevation gain of approximately 800 m. The route is relatively gradual, allowing hikers an unintimidating hike without sudden terrain changes.</p><br>
<p>The Elbert H. Parsons Law Library  is a historic commercial building in Huntsville, Alabama. It was built in 1913 by the May and Cooney Dry Goods company to replace their building which was destroyed by a fire in 1911. The store occupied the building until 1931, when they went bankrupt due to the Great Depression. J. C. Penney moved into the building in 1934 and remained until 1966, when it moved to "The Mall" on University Drive. In 1973, it was purchased by the county and renovated to house a public law library.</p><br>
<p>The building is a three story structure with the façade faced in white glazed terra cotta. The street level has a large arch, decorated with a line of bay leaf clusters surrounded by alternating green and red blocks. The inside of the arch was converted from a storefront to large glass panes with a single central entrance in the 1973 renovation. The second and third floors each have five one-over-one sash windows, with the third floor windows slightly smaller than the second. The building is topped with a projecting course of bay leaf garlands, a set of five colored panels in line with the windows, and a corbeled cornice with several rows of geometric designs.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The Little Missouri River Bridge, also known as the Nachitoch Bluff Bridge, is a historic bridge between rural southern Clark County, Arkansas and Nevada County, Arkansas. Now closed to traffic, it once carried County Road 179  over the Little Missouri River. Believed to be built in 1910, it is the only known Camelback Pratt truss bridge in the state. Its main span measures 185 ft, with a secondary Pratt truss span measuring 110 ft in length, and there are I-beam-supported approaches on either side, giving the bridge a total length of 315 ft. The bridge is located on the historic route of the Natchitoches Trace, an early colonial French-Spanish trail through the area.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Mason Building is a historic commercial building in Huntsville, Alabama. It was built by the owners of Masons Furniture, which was founded in 1908. In 1927, they built a new building which they intended to lease to other tenants. It was designed to be built in stages, and be up to five stories tall, but only the first two were ever built. Sears Roebuck began leasing the building in March 1929, at which time a mezzanine and elevator were added. Sears left Huntsville in 1931 in the midst of the Great Depression, and Masons moved their store into the building. The company operated until 1977; since then, the building has housed a number of businesses, including a pub.</p><br>
<p>The façade is clad in terra cotta tiles, with piers at the corners extending above the cornice. The ground floor has large glass panes and a recessed central entrance. A terra cotta band painted with a wave pattern separates the ground floor from the mezzanine-level windows, three in each bay. The mezzanine and second floor are separated by stepped rows of tiles, a wider band which originally featured a scalloped molding with a bell design, two rows of dentils (small then large), and a cornice. The second floor is divided by two wide piers, with two multi-light casement windows in the outer bays and three in the middle. The simple cornice and piers extending above it are a by-product of the intended five-story design being cut short.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>Boongaree Island is located off the Kimberley coast of Western Australia.</p><br>
<p>The island is located in the southern end of the Bonaparte Archipelago in the north western part of Prince Frederick Harbour at the southern end of York Sound. It is one of a number of islands lying in the harbour.</p><br>
<p>The island encompasses an area of 4,215 hectare.</p><br>
<p>The traditional owners of the area are the Uunguu peoples of the Wunambal language group, whose name for the island is Wunundarra or Bunjinii.</p><br>
<p>The area was surveyed in 1820 by Philip Parker King aboard. King named the island after the Indigenous Australian man, Boongaree, who was travelling aboard the vessel.</p><br>
<p>Fauna found on the island include the monjon, the northern quoll, the scaly-tailed possum and the northern leaf-nosed bat.</p><br>
<p>Panther Hollow Lake is a man-made lake in Schenley Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<h2>Watershed</h2><br>
<p>The lake serves as a catch basin for the 300 acre Panther Hollow Watershed, which includes sections of Schenley Park and Squirrel Hill. It receives storm drain from the watershed, which it sends to the Monongahela River via the Four Mile Run. Two streams, Phipps Run and Panther Hollow Run, flow through Schenley Park, feeding the lake.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Before the park</h3><br>
<p>Before Schenley Park was built and Squirrel Hill was heavily settled, there were several tributaries throughout the park and Squirrel Hill which comprised a part of the watershed. Today, the streams in Squirrel Hill are buried, and feed the city sewer system instead of the lake.</p><br>
<h3>A part of the park</h3><br>
<p>The lake was constructed between the years of 1907 and 1909, at around the same time as other infrastructure projects in Schenley Park, like the Panther Hollow Bridge and the tufa bridges. The lake was constructed from an already existing, but small body of water at the site.</p><br>
<h3>Decline and 1st Renovation</h3><br>
<p>Over the years, sediment and silt built up in the lake, raising the bottom of the lake-bed significantly. A major renovation was ordered in 1957 by then‑mayor David L. Lawrence, in which the lake was drained completely, the walls of the lake re-constructed, and the lake re-filled with small shrubs. However, after a 2-year period of shrubs, water was returned into the lake.</p><br>
<h3>Popular Activities</h3><br>
<p>Originally, there was a boathouse located on the lake, which provided patrons with a pastime. Ice skating was also popular on the lake up until the 70&#39;s.</p><br>
<h3>2nd Decline and 2nd Renovation</h3><br>
<p>After many years of neglect, the boathouse was demolished in 1979, and the lake gradually fell out of use with the general public. The lake sediment began to pile up again, rendering the majority of the lake less than 4 feet deep. Currently, the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy has adopted a plan to bring the lake back to its original splendor; including a full restoration of the lake, a rehabilitation of the watershed, and a reconstruction of the boathouse.</p><br>
<p>Fort Johnson is a state-owned historic site of military and political significance located on the northeast point of James Island in Charleston County, South Carolina.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Fort Johnson was strategically important during the colonial era, as it was located on the banks of the Ashley River. The fort was named after Sir Nathaniel Johnson, who served as the Governor of Carolina from 1703 to 1709. It was the site of the first raising of the South Carolina state flag in 1775. The magazine was built in 1765 and is a brick structure that measures 27 feet long and 20 feet wide. It was buried during the American Civil War by Confederate soldiers, and uncovered in 1931.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>Fort Johnson and the magazine were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<p>The Cocheco Mills are a historic mill complex in the heart of Dover, New Hampshire. The mills occupy a site at a bend in the Cocheco River that has been the site of industrial activity since at least 1822, when the Dover Cotton Factory was built there. The present mill buildings were built between the 1880s and the early 20th century, and were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The surviving elements of the mill complex are six major manufacturing buildings, the dam and wheel house which diverted water to the mills, a steel bridge, and the smokestack and remains of the boiler house of the complex.</p><br>
<h3>Dam, wheel house and bridge</h3><br>
<p>The dam stretches across the Cocheco River in a broad arc roughly west of mills #2 and #3. It is made of rough-cut granite ashlar, and stands between 9 and 150 feet in height. It has a modern concrete spillway. The dam was built sometime between 1905 and 1925, replacing an earlier dam. The wheel house stands east of mill #2, and is a small single-story brick structure built on a concrete arch which spans the space between mill #2 and the river. The bridge is a steel truss structure spanning the river west of mill #3. Probably built in the 1880s, it has wooden decking and a decorative balustrade.</p><br>
<h3>Mills</h3><br>
<p>There are four main mill buildings in the complex. The #1 mill is a five-story brick building located south of Washington Street. It was built in 1908 after the previous #1 mill was destroyed by fire; portions of the older structure that survived the fire were supposedly reused in its construction. The 1880 #2 mill marks the northern end of the complex, and is located between Main Street and Central Avenue. It is a four-story brick structure, and is joined at the south end to mill #3, which was built in 1881 and actually spans the river. An L-shaped extension added in 1909 replaced the old #4 mill. The #5 mill, built in 1825, is the oldest surviving element in the complex. Originally 25 bays in length, a portion of the building was demolished in the mid-20th century, leaving the present 10 bays. It has a distinctive Gothic Revival tower to which a belfry was added in the 1850s.</p><br>
<h3>Picker houses</h3><br>
<p>There are two picker houses, both built between 1905 and 1925. The #1 house is adjacent to the #1 mill at the south end of the complex. It is a brick structure three stories tall and roughly 12 bays long and 8 wide. It is joined to the #1 mill by a pair of two-story enclosed bridges. The #2 house is at the north end of the complex; it is a brick structure three stories tall, although because of the site topography one facade only shows two stories. Also 12 by 8 bays in dimension, it was once connected by an enclosed bridge to mill #2, but this has been removed.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The mills were operated by the Cochecho Mill Company until 1909, when the plant was purchased by Pacific Mill Works of Lawrence, Massachusetts. In addition to textile processing, Pacific operated the Cocheco Print Works on the premises. Competition from textile processors in the American South, combined with the effects of the Great Depression led Pacific to shutter the complex in 1937. The city purchased the complex at auction in 1940. The buildings have since been home to a succession of smaller enterprises, primarily engaged in manufacturing.</p><br>
<p>The Durham Historic District encompasses a portion of the original historic settlement area of Durham, New Hampshire. It extends along Newmarket Road  from its northern junction with Laurel Lane to a three-way junction with Main Street and Dover Road . From there it extends along Main Street to Madbury Road. This area, known in early colonial days as the Oyster River Plantation, for the Oyster River which bisects it, was first settled in 1649. It was developed in the 18th century as a significant shipbuilding center. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>Prominent buildings in the district include Durham&#39;s town hall (a c. 1825 brick building) and town office building (a c. 1860 vernacular house), and the Durham Community Church, built in 1848-49, which is the focal point of the Main Street section of the district. Along Newmarket Street stand a row of 18th and 19th-century houses just south of the Oyster River. Notable among these are the John Sullivan House, a National Historic Landmark that was home to American Revolutionary War General and Governor of New Hampshire John Sullivan, and the Hill-Woodman-Ffrost House, which has an ell that is believed to date to 1649, and has been in the Ffrost family since the late 18th century. The Newmarket section also includes the Red School House, originally built as a school c. 1796, and a monument to John Sullivan placed by the state in 1894 at the site of the 1716 meeting house.</p><br>
<p>The Madison Station Historic District is a historic district in Madison, Alabama. Madison was first settled around 1818 as a farming community, but significant growth began in 1858, when the first depot was built along the Memphis and Charleston Railroad line. Madison Station became an important loading point for the shipment of cotton, supplanting the Tennessee River as the preferred means of shipment. Merchants and other businesses soon followed, with many people moving from the river port of Triana. After a lull during the Civil War, the town&#39;s growth continued; Madison was incorporated in 1869. The town grew steadily until the 1950s, when industry spurred by the expansion of Redstone Arsenal replaced cotton as the primary economic force in Madison County.</p><br>
<p>The historic district contains the commercial strip along Main Street, running along the railroad tracks; cotton warehouses a few blocks from the depot; and numerous houses from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, mostly to the north of the tracks. The commercial buildings are grouped in two blocks on the eastern end of main street. Most date from after 1900, with the exception of the Robert P. Cain Mercantile store (built 1859) and the building that housed Madison&#39;s first drug store (built 1871). The houses in the district represent popular styles of the late 1800s and early 1900s, including Queen Anne, Folk Victorian, Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, and American Craftsman. The oldest houses are on Front Street, paralleling the tracks on the north, most of which are in Queen Anne style. The majority of houses are on Church Street, and show the full range of architectural styles. Between Front Street and the railroad tracks is the Village Green, a public, open space that contains a gazebo and a replica of the Roundhouse, the first town hall. The Madison Station depot was housed in four buildings during its existence: the first, built in 1858, was destroyed in a Civil War battle in 1864; the second served from 1866 until 1885; the third from 1885 until 1901; and the final, a combined passenger and freight depot, closed in 1961 and has since been demolished.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<p>Jabal Zambar  is a large hill in the Tel Afar District of Nineveh Province of northern Iraq.</p><br>
<p>The name may also be rendered as Jabal or Jebel Sinbar, Zinbar or Zinbār, or Zambar Mountain.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Jebel Zambar is in a transitional folded zone between the alpinotype area to the northeast and the Arabian Shield to the southwest.</p><br>
<p>This area holds the major anticlinal structures between the Tigris and the Al-Tharthar basin.</p><br>
<p>The zone includes Jebel Sinjar, Jebel Sinu, Jebel Sasan, Jebel Zambar, Jebel Sheik Ibrahim and Jebel Adaiya.</p><br>
<p>The Jebels Zambar and Ibrahim are sometimes treated as one structure.</p><br>
<p>The Sanjar-Zambar mountain range includes the Teymurlenk (Tamerlane) hills, which contain the Turkmen city of Tal Afar.</p><br>
<p>Jabal Zambar is the highest point in the hilly area to the east of Tal Afar.</p><br>
<p>It is about 543 m above sea level.</p><br>
<p>A shallow saddle to the northwest of Jebel Zambar divides it from the similar Jebel Sasan structure, which is about 10 by in extent.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the late 1930s Germans drilled wells on the Zambar and Qusair structures west of Mosul towards Sinjar.</p><br>
<p>A feasibility study of the Mosul Dam project was to include a study of irrigating the northern catchment area of the Tharthar depression.</p><br>
<p>This would include construction of a water supply tunnel under Jabal Zambar.</p><br>
<p>On 7 January 2006 twelve U.S, military personnel died when their UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter crashed on Zambar Mountain.</p><br>
<p>Tolstoy Park  is a historic residence in Montrose, Alabama. The house was built by Henry Stuart, an Englishman who had emigrated to the United States as a child. Stuart was living in Nampa, Idaho, when he was diagnosed with tuberculosis and advised to move to a warmer climate to live out his days. In 1923, he purchased 10 acres  outside Fairhope, Alabama, which he named Tolstoy Park.</p><br>
<p>Stuart began building a circular, domed hut in 1925, pouring each concrete block himself. Construction was completed in less than a year, although delayed by a hurricane in September 1926. The house is about 14 feet (4.2 m) in diameter and sunk 2 feet (61 cm) into the ground. Six top-hinged windows circle the building, and there were two skylights in the roof that are now permanently closed. Stuart sought to live a simple life, growing much of his own food and weaving rugs on a loom he brought from Idaho. He kept a guestbook for visitors to sign; notably, lawyer Clarence Darrow visited the hut six times. Stuart left Alabama in 1944, moving to Oregon to live with his son, where he died in 1946.</p><br>
<p>Today, the hut and a large oak tree are all that remain of Stuarts estate; a parking lot for a real estate office surrounds the hut. A novel based on Stuarts life, The Poet of Tolstoy Park, was published in 2005. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<p>The Grabovička river is one of left tributaries of the Vrbanja river. It rises nearby to Miljevići village , below the road to Golo Brdo , on south slopes of Ježica  and Zastijenje .</p><br>
<p>Regional road Skender Vakuf – Travnik runs along the ridge of the Undervlašićs plateau. The ridge marked the border between Vrbanjas and Ugar (river) basins. This river enters into deep canyon, with depth as much as 350 meters. Grabovička river runs through this canyon near Grabovica (Kotor Varoš), old village.</p><br>
<p>The mouth of Grabovička river is in the new part of Grabovica village (Bosnia) after which this river is named. In some sources it is (incorrectly) referred to as "Grabovačka rijeka". The mouth is 450 meters above sea level and its length is around 8 km.</p><br>
<p>During the War in Bosnia, in Grabovica&#39;s Elementary school, around 200 Bosniaks "disappeared" from Večići village and its surrounding settlements. Their remains remain undiscovered.</p><br>
<p>The Col. William H. Fulkerson Farmstead, also known as Hazel Dell, is a historic farm located at 1510 North State Street  1.5 mi north of Jerseyville, Illinois. The 58.26 acre farm includes an Italian Villa style farmhouse, a carriage house, a barn, grain fields, and fruit orchards. Colonel William H. Fulkerson, a Confederate Civil War veteran, and his wife Cornelia settled at the farm in 1866. The couple began construction on the farmhouse in the same year; it was completed in 1872. The two-story farmhouse, designed by Jerseyville architect William Embley, is one of the best-preserved Italian Villa style houses in the Jerseyville area. A tower with a mansard roof, a characteristic Italian Villa element, tops the front entrance. The houses front porch features arched openings and scrolled bracket; a smaller porch on the north side has the same design. In typical Italianate fashion, the houses windows are mainly tall and rectangular with brick hoods, and several have a segmental arched form.</p><br>
<p>The farm was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 6, 1998.</p><br>
<p>The Nutwood Site is a pre-Columbian archaeological site located on the western site of Illinois Route 100 immediately south of Narrows Creek near Nutwood, Illinois. The site dates from the Jersey Bluff phase of the Late Woodland period, which lasted from 750 to 1100 A.D. A large shell midden is located at the site; the shells were likely fished from Narrows Creek and nearby Otter Creek. Four firepits, which were identified by their concentrations of burnt limestone and igneous rock, have also been found at the site. In addition, the presence of Hopewell pottery fragments suggests that the site had connections to the earlier Hopewell culture.</p><br>
<p>The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 9, 1979.</p><br>
<p>Coronation Island is located off the Kimberley coast of Western Australia.</p><br>
<p>Located off Port Nelson in the Bonaparte Archipelago as a part of the group of islands known as the Coronation islands. These were named by Philip Parker King, the first European the visit the islands in 1820, after the anniversary of the late King&#39;s coronation.</p><br>
<p>The island encompasses an area of 3,817 hectare.</p><br>
<p>The traditional owners of the area are the Uunguu peoples of the Wunambal language group whose name for the island is Garlinju.</p><br>
<p>Careening Bay on the island is the location where King careened his cutter, the Mermaid to make repairs. While on the island the crew engraved the name of the ship on a Boab tree that is still visible today.</p><br>
<p>Priority flora found on the island include solanum cataphractum.</p><br>
<p>Sunnyside, also known as the Townsend Mikell House, is a historic plantation house located at Edisto Island, Charleston County, South Carolina. The main house was built about 1875, and is a 1 1/2-story, rectangular, frame, weatherboard-clad residence. It features a mansard roof topped by a cupola and one-story, hipped roof wraparound porch. Also on the property are the tabby foundation of a cotton gin; two small, rectangular, one-story, gable roof, weatherboard-clad outbuildings; a 1 1/2-story barn; and the Sunnyside Plantation Foreman’s House. The Foreman&#39;s House is a two-story, weatherboard-clad, frame residence built about 1867.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986, with a boundary increase in 1994.</p><br>
<p>The Wiswall Falls Mill Site  is a historic archaeological industrial site in Durham, New Hampshire. It is located in John Hatch Park, a small public park just south of Wiswall Road on the eastern bank of the Lamprey River. The 3 acre site encompasses the remains of a small 19th-century mill complex that was one of Durham&#39;s major industrial sites of the 19th century until it burned in 1883. The site, which includes remains of the waterworks and foundations, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Wiswall Falls Mill Site is set in what is now a remote rural setting in western Durham. The main features of the site are the foundational remnants of a sawmill, paper mill, dam, power canal, and a variety of ancillary structures. Its most prominent features are a concrete dam, built in 1912 across the Lamprey River, and a stone-lined power canal, now partially filled in, that created a small island on the east side of the river. Just north of the present dam are the submerged remnants of a timber crib dam dating to 1835. Visible on either side of the former power canal are foundational remains of various structures.</p><br>
<p>Significant industrial activity began here in 1835, when Moses Wiggin built the timber crib dam and erected a sawmill. The power canal and paper mill were built in 1854 by Thomas Wiswall. The paper mill burned in 1883, and the sawmill was abandoned and eventually demolished after flooding breached the dam in the 1890s. The Wiswall Mill was Durhams major industrial site, other mills operating on a significantly smaller scale. The towns economy suffered generally during the second half of the 19th century, due in part to the routing of railroad infrastructure away from the village center and other potential industrial sites.</p><br>
<p>The site was adapted in 1900 for the production of hydroelectric power. This included the construction in 1912 of the present concrete dam, which was done to increase the site&#39;s generating capacity. The hydropower facility was abandoned in the 1940s, and the impoundment created by the dam was later used by the town as part of its water supply. The town acquired the property in 1967, and has landscaped it to present some of the architectural remnants of the mills which operated here.</p><br>
<p>The Woodbury Mill is a historic mill building at 1 Dover Street in Dover, New Hampshire. This five-story utilitarian brick mill building was built in 1885 by the Dover Improvement Association as a factory space for small footwear manufacturers to operate in, representing an organized effort by city businessmen to attract this type of business. It was used for shoe manufacturing until 1979, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Woodbury Mill building is located just north of downtown Dover, on the south side of Dover Street in what is essentially a residential area. It is five stories in height, 29 bays long and five wide, with a central brick firewall dividing the building into two roughly equal-size parts. Each part had an entrance near the center, one of which has since been filled in. Windows are set in segmented-arch openings and have wooden sills. The interior as originally built features exposed brick walls, wooden floors, and heavy post-and-beam construction.</p><br>
<p>Dover&#39;s 19th-century economic success was primarily due to the development of textile mills along the Cocheco River, with shoemaking little more than a cottage industry. The Dover Improvement Association was formed in 1885 by local businessmen to capitalize on improvements in shoemaking technology and bring a more organized approach to that industry into the city. This mill was built in the same year, on six house lots previously subdivided by John Ham, and was one of two mills the association would build. The Woodbury Brothers were one of its first tenants, occupying about half the space in the building. They would operate on the premises, employing as many as 250 workers, until 1894. The building continued to be used for shoe-related manufacturing, under a variety of owners and occupants, until 1979.</p><br>

<p>Jebel Sasan  is a large hill in the Tel Afar District of Nineveh Province of northern Iraq.</p><br>
<p>The name may also be rendered as Jabal Sasan.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>Jebel Sasan is in a transitional folded zone between an alpinotype area to the northeast and the Arabian Shield to the southwest.</p><br>
<p>Tectonic movements in the Late Cretaceous caused formation of a rapidly subsiding trough aligned east-west passing below Jabal Sinjar and Jabal Sasan into the Butmah area. Open-sea globigerina sedimentation filled the trough at about the same rate as subsidence throughout the Late Cretaceous.</p><br>
<p>The crystalline basement in the Jebel Sasan area is at a depth of about 4000 to 4500 m.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The region includes the anticlines of Jebel Sinjar, Jebel Sinu, Jebel Sasan, Jebel Zambar, Jebel Sheik Ibrahim and Jebel Adaiya.</p><br>
<p>The Jebels Zambar and Ibrahim are sometimes treated as one structure.</p><br>
<p>The Sanjar-Zambar mountain range includes the Teymurlenk (Tamerlane) hills, which contain the Turkmen city of Tal Afar.</p><br>
<p>The Jebel Sasan structure is about 10 by in extent.</p><br>
<p>A shallow saddle to the southeast divides it from the similar Jebel Zambar structure.</p><br>
<h2>Agriculture</h2><br>
<p>The first farming villages in the Mespotamian lowlands are those of the Hassuna pottery makers, dating to around 6000 BC.</p><br>
<p>These villages are most concentrated in the northern Jazira plains to the north and south of Jebels Sinjar and Ishkaft, to the west and north of Jebel Sasan. Average annual rainfall is about 300 to 400 mm, enough to support dry farming.</p><br>
<p>Jebel Sasan is part of an arc of hills that includes Jebel Abd el-Aziz and Jebel Sinjar to the west, and Jebel Ishkaft, Jebel Ibrahim and Jebel Maqlub to the east.</p><br>
<p>As moist air travels up the valleys of the Tigris and Euphrates it deposits moisture on the southern slopes of these hills, creating a more fertile zone to the south of the dry farming area.</p><br>
<p>To the south of Tel Afar in the gap between Jebel Sasan and Jebel Ibrahim there is lower rainfall than to the north, but more groundwater, with many springs along the southern edge of the hills behind Tel Afar.</p><br>
<p>In ancient times this zone contained significant kingdoms. Of these Karana may lie below Tel Afar.</p><br>
<p>Wheatfield, also known by Wheatfields, Resolution Manor, or Wheatfield Farm is a historic home located south of Ellicott City, Howard County, Maryland.</p><br>
<p>Wheatfield started on land patented to Samuel Chew in 1695 as Chews Resolution Manor and Chews Vineyard. Caleb Dorsey inherited the land in 1718. In 1850 the 202-acre farm was purchased for $9,000 by James Clark. One son, James Clark Jr. left the farm to join the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, surviving prison camp to return as a cattle broker. His other son John Lawrence Clark (1855-) was born at Wheatfield. He maintained the farm raising a family that would be closely associated with Howard County business and politics. The Wheatfield manor house is built in progressively smaller sections in the "Telescope style" starting in 1802. A water table runs along the foundation of the property. The farm was sold to the Widdup family in 1950 for $50,000. In 1977 the property was owned by the Doll family, who had subdivided the land to 11 acres. The manor house still stands, as of a Howard County Historical Society tour in December of 2016, amidst a residential housing development of the same name.</p><br>
<p>The Alaska Steam Laundry is a historic commercial building at 174 South Franklin Street in Juneau, Alaska. It is a Late Victorian wood-frame structure, with a prominent turret that has a conical roof. Built in 1901, it is a well-preserved element of the transition of Juneau from a mining camp to a more cosmopolitan city . It was built by E. R. Jaeger, who envisioned the laundry as a profitable business serving single miners working the nearby gold mines. The laundry facilities were housed on the ground floor, with residences and office space above. The laundry operated here until 1929, when it was moved to new premises in the city, and this building was converted to other commercial uses.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978</p><br>

<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Gilford&#39;s former District 9 Schoolhouse is located in a rural setting southeast of the town center, on the north side of Hoyt Road west of its junction with Belknap Mountain Road. It is a 1-1/2 story wood frame structure, whose main block measures 24 ft in length and 22 ft in width. It has a shed-roof projection at one end which houses the main entrance and a vestibule area (dated to the 1830s), and a second shed-roof addition behind that, dating to the early 20th century. The interior space was historically divided into a classroom space and a wood storage area, later converted into a kitchen. The property includes a c. 1924 outhouse.</p><br>
<p>The school was built in 1815, and was originally covered by a hip roof. This was replaced by the present gable roof around 1835, at the same time the vestibule was added. Additional windows were added in the 1850s, probably in response to state-issued recommendations. Benches were replaced by individual desks and chairs in 1892, around which time blackboards were also installed. The building was used as a school until the mid-1920s, and was converted into a summer residence in 1938.</p><br>

<p>The Harrington-Birchett House is a former residence in downtown Tempe, Arizona. Originally built in 1895, the house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built in 1895 as part of the J.W. Harrington homestead. It was built by the Goodwin brothers, who were then operating a brick-making business in Tempe. In 1904, the house was acquired by Mattie Birchett, in the same year that her son, Joseph T. Birchett, married. Mattie, her husband Joseph and their family lived in the home until circa 1920, when Joseph retired from the Birchett Brothers mercantile store for health reasons.</p><br>
<p>After Matties death in 1925, the house became a rental property until Joseph T. and Guess Birchett reoccupied it in the early 1930s. Joseph T. was a partner in the mercantile store with his brother John, in addition to owning considerable real estate in the area; he was also a director of the Tempe National Bank and served as mayor of Tempe from 1912 to 1914. Guess was known locally as the "bird-lady" for her research on birds and nature; the United States Fish and Wildlife Service even designated her home as a federally protected bird sanctuary from 1940 to 1970. She was the sister of Honor Anderson Moeur, wife of Governor Benjamin B. Moeur. The family occupied the Harrington-Birchett home because of its proximity to her sisters family&#39;s house. She also participated in beautification efforts in the city of Tempe and was named its Centennial Queen in 1971. Guess died in 1979.</p><br>
<p>Ownership of the house passed to Arizona State University when it purchased the property in 1989. As part of improvements to the property related to the development of the College Avenue Commons building to the east, a non-contributing slump block garage built in 1937 was demolished.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Harrington-Birchett House was built as a brick Victorian cottage; however, a 1931 remodeling changed it into a Period Revival-style home with Tudor elements, including the enclosure of the house&#39;s porches. The house has an exterior coating of stucco over its brick face.</p><br>
<p>The house features an irregular plan with a steeply pitched hip roof. The front facade has a setback for the central entryway and again on the east end. The doorway is framed by two concrete steps and set into a semi-elliptical arch made of decorative brick. Wood-framed windows are either in double-hung or casement arrangements. A double garage at the rear of the house has two car doors.</p><br>
<p>Stylistically, the complete transformation of the home&#39;s architectural style is "unusual".</p><br>
