<p>Sunnyside or Sunnyside Farms is a historic slave plantation home located in Woodbine, Howard County, Maryland.</p><br>
<p>Sunnyside began as a log cabin built in 1800 by Capt. Banjamin Warfield of Cherry Grove&#39;s son Joshua Warfield. In 1830, Albert Gallatin Warfield expanded the home, and a second expansion was completed in 1890 by his son Joshua Warfield.</p><br>
<p>Albert Warfield was known for generously freeing his slaves at the age of 40, albeit at a time when life expectancy was shorter. His son Joshua Warfield operated a title company, and imported food waste for composting fertilizer for soil. The house later passed to Norman Hutton Warfield (1889 - 1955) who worked for the Federal Land Trust. The last Warfield heir to own the estate was the assistant states attorney for Howard County, Albert Gassaway Warfield III (-1983) who worked for Pierce, Fenner and Smith Inc.</p><br>
<p>Moundland is a historic plantation home located between Simpsonville and Guilford, Howard County, Maryland, now part of the Columbia land development.</p><br>
<p>The stone manor home Moundland was built by Thomas Stewart in 1846 for his daughter and her husband Charles Griffith Worthington Jr., who served in the first team of Howard County Commissioners. The English imported locks on the house are dated to 1830. The 22 inch thick walls were quarried onsite and the original floors remained intact. The house neighbored Granite Park manor home.</p><br>
<p>In 1966, 245 acres of property surrounding the 10 acre Moundland site were purchased by the Howard Research and Development for the creation on the Rouse Company project Columbia. The pastor W Stephen Neel, South Columbia Baptist Church, elected to demolish Moundland to build the new facility, "To serve our community as a church, rather than save an old building", and was granted permission to develop by the Howard County Board of Appeals.</p><br>
<p>Oak Hall is a historic slave plantation home located in Columbia, Howard County, Maryland</p><br>
<p>Oak Hall was built as a sister house to the Waveland Manor built by Richard Dorsey in 1809 on a land grant named New Year&#39;s Gift which contained the 1732 Dorsey Family estate Elkhorn. The brick manor house featured 19 rooms and nine fireplaces. Outbuildings included a large frame barn. The manor was located adjacent to Christ Church Guilford.</p><br>
<p>The Dorsey family remained Confederate sympathizers through the civil war, providing more militia than any other family in the state.</p><br>
<p>Oak Hall remained in good condition throughout its history, and was demolished in November 1985 for a commercial land development. Oak Hall Lane in Columbia terminates at the former location of the residence with a small commercial office complex.</p><br>
<p>The Maricopa County Courthouse and Old Phoenix City Hall, also known as the County-City Administration Building, is a historic structure in downtown Phoenix, Arizona. The structure consists of two buildings in a conjoined layout sharing the same architecture.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>The need for a new courthouse and city hall</h3><br>
<p>The Maricopa County Courthouse and Phoenix City Hall was a joint effort of Maricopa County and the City of Phoenix, a "monumentally scaled" building taking up a full city block downtown. As city and county government matured, officials realized that a building of sufficient size was necessary to house county and city functions in an expanding Phoenix and Maricopa County. Maricopa County&#39;s facilities were an imposing two-story brick building in Block 76 of the town site, completed in 1884; meanwhile, the original 1889 Phoenix city hall, which was designed by James M. Creighton and doubled as territorial capitol until 1901, was also becoming too cramped for continued use.</p><br>
<p>On April 28, 1927, the county board of supervisors passed a resolution stating that the current courthouse and jail were no longer adequate for their needs. Additional space was needed for county departments, and adding to the 1884 structure would result in significant fire hazards. The board of supervisors called an election on May 21, 1927, to issue $750,000 in bonds to construct a new building on the Block 76 site; the citizens of Maricopa County approved the bonds by a margin of 3,489 to 780. On June 15, the board proceeded to begin the process of selecting an architect. When the bonds went to bid on July 18, nine investment firms and banks sought them, with Valley Bank and Trust of Phoenix being the winner.</p><br>
<p>Meanwhile, Phoenix, whose growth in the 1920s had led to at least eight new high-rise buildings downtown, saw an opportunity in the new county courthouse project to get a city hall. A group of reform-minded citizens led the charge to combine the two projects; in early 1927, Judge Frank O. Smith spoke twice to the city commission on behalf of a group in the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce. Days after his second speech, the board of supervisors sent the city a letter expressing a desire to collaborate on a shared building. With approval from both the board and the mayor, and continued pressure from Judge Smith and the chamber of commerce, the ball began to roll. In June, the property was assessed, and after that, the board of supervisors accepted a bid from the city to acquire the western third of the property for Phoenix&#39;s city hall. On July 8, the city commission passed an ordinance calling for a special bond election to raise $450,000 to acquire the western third (valued at $150,000) and to build the new city hall. The election, held on August 16, saw Phoenicians vote 460 to 164 in favor of the proposal.</p><br>
<h3>Design and construction</h3><br>
<p>Early on, both sides began scouting architects. The board of supervisors traveled to various eastern and southern states in the summer of 1927 to evaluate the latest in new courthouses. They consulted other boards and commissions, and in September, they began to analyze the seven bids that had been received.</p><br>
<p>Prominent architects and firms figured among the contenders to build the county courthouse. Three of them were local: V. O. Wallingford of Phoenix, recognized for his architectural activities throughout the state; Fitzhugh & Byron, also of Phoenix; and Lescher & Mahoney, known for constructing schools and other public buildings. Four additional architects put in bids: William N. Bowman of Denver, designer of the Yavapai County Courthouse; Henry T. Phelps of San Antonio, who designed several courthouses in Texas; Trost & Trost of El Paso had designed many buildings in Tucson and the Luhrs Building downtown; and Shreveport architect Edward Neild, whose Caddo Parish Courthouse favorably impressed the supervisors. On September 19, 1927, the board of supervisors voted 2-1 to select Neild, with A. G. Austin voting instead for Bowman&#39;s proposal.</p><br>
<p>However, the decision did not meet well with the city of Phoenix, which had backed Lescher & Mahoney. Board and city officials worked to reach a compromise, and both sides expressed a desire to put their differences behind them. An official contract was signed in October, and in November, Phoenix signed a contract with Lescher & Mahoney to design its portion of the project. The contract called for Neild to be in charge of general exterior appearance, but Lescher & Mahoney added several elements to the exterior of the City Hall area and was largely in control of the design of its interiors. In April 1928, the board called for bids for the general contractor; the winning firm was Los Angeles-based Edwards, Wildey and Dixon, who had just completed the Security Building, with which the board was particularly impressed.</p><br>
<p>The contract process hit a snag when a contract specifying the highest quality furniture for the sum of $47,000 was contested by Berryhill Office Equipment Company. Berryhill sued in Maricopa County Superior Court, alleging that the county, by not providing specifications or calling for a lowest and best bid, did not follow prescribed bidding practices. The Superior Court ruled in favor of the county, but Berryhill appealed to the Arizona Supreme Court, which sided with Berryhill on June 14, 1929. The county was forced to redo the bidding process.</p><br>
<p>With the building half completed, the city and county hosted a dedication ceremony conducted by the Arizona Grand Lodge of Masons. Among the dignitaries present were Senator Carl Hayden, the acting Grand Orator, and Col. John Philip Sousa, conducting the Marine Corps Band. At the ceremony, the cornerstone of Arizona granite was laid, and a time capsule, coated in copper and containing documents, emblems and other ephemera, was mortared inside with a silver trowel.</p><br>
<p>The Berryhill lawsuit and normal construction delays pushed back occupancy from the scheduled date of April 1, 1929, to June 23, when the city and county formally took possession of the building, constructed at a total cost of $1,200,000.</p><br>
<h3>Occupancy</h3><br>
<p>The city and county each had portions of the building serving their own offices, with a jail on the fifth and sixth floors. The building housed the City Justice of the Peace and the Maricopa County Superior Court, making it an important hub of legal activity in the Phoenix area. Among the major county cases tried in the courthouse was the first trial of Ernesto Miranda, which eventually led to the landmark Miranda v. Arizona case of the Supreme Court of the United States in 1966</p><br>
<p>and, consequently, the ubiquitous "Miranda warning" issued by police.</p><br>
<p>In addition, Winnie Ruth Judd was once jailed inside the courthouse.</p><br>
<h3>Outgrowth and city relocation</h3><br>
<p>With Phoenix and Maricopa County both continuing with explosive growth after World War II, the joint city-county building, which represented a vastly different era in state history, now was as inadequate as the structures it had replaced. As early as 1949, Phoenix officials began to explore the possibility of building a new city hall; the city needed so much space that it desired a building for its exclusive use. With this need growing ever more urgent, voters approved $4.3 million in bonds in April 1957 to build a new city hall. The modernist ten-story Phoenix Municipal Building (now the Calvin C. Goode Building) at 251 West Washington Street, designed by a consortium of Ralph Haver and Associates and Edward Varney and Associates, represented not only the increased size and stature of Phoenix but also the rapid evolution in architectural styles. At the same time, many Maricopa County functions moved to new facilities in the $11 million Maricopa County Governmental Complex, completed in 1964 and designed by the firm of Stephens Walsh Emmons Shanks.</p><br>
<p>The Superior Court still uses the building. In 2012, the opened in a sixth-floor cell block inside the Old Courthouse.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<h3>Designers</h3><br>
<p>The courthouse was designed by Shreveport architect Edward Neild in conjunction with the influential Phoenix firm of Lescher & Mahoney. At the time, Lescher & Mahoney dominated the design of public buildings in the state; their work included the county courthouses in Graham and Mohave counties, and while the courthouse was under construction the Orpheum Theater and Brophy College Chapel, also designs from Lescher & Mahoney, were under construction. Neild, meanwhile, had built the Shreveport Municipal Building in his hometown in 1924 and also designed several structures at Louisiana Tech University. The Maricopa County Courthouse is Neild&#39;s only known work in the state of Arizona.</p><br>
<h3>Exterior</h3><br>
<p>The Maricopa County Courthouse is designed in an H shape with overall dimensions of 230 ft by 130 ft. The six-story central tower dominates the composition, with seven pronounced vertical bays. Two four-story projecting wings with three bays flank the east and west sides; as a whole, the building presents a "wide and imposing" façade to both Washington Street, which contains the entrance to the county portion, and to Jefferson Street.</p><br>
<p>The building is made of poured-in-place concrete using a conventional concrete frame. The structure itself sits on a raised foundation story made of evenly coursed terra cotta panels, with unornamented window openings. The exterior is clad in rusticated terra cotta panels of various colors that simulate yellow sandstone and also lend the building an appearance similar to that of masonry. The entry to the courthouse is set within a rounded arch, above which is inscribed "MARICOPA COUNTY COURT HOUSE". The entry is a pair of bronze doors with full glass panels topped with ornamental ironwork. The side wings on the second level have windows framed in cast iron, the one element that gives the courthouse a Southwestern flavor.</p><br>
<p>The most ornamentation is to be found on the building&#39;s upper two stories, used as the jail with a third masonry expression utilizing terra cotta panels. The windows on these levels have honeycomb patterns of tiles framed in cast iron, while the sixth floor has conventional steel frame windows. The bays rise to a segmented arch with radiating elements echoing those in the entryways, creating a Neoclassical, form-based appearance. The hipped, clay tile roof was originally coated in seven different colors of tiles, a detail no longer visible due to soiling.</p><br>
<p>The Second Avenue façade is the third primary elevation of the building, featuring the main entrance to the city portion. This entrance is also set inside an arch, which is flanked by terra cotta sculptures of the mythological phoenix. The wall adjacent to the entry is entirely made of polished granite, while the bronze doors are multi-paneled.</p><br>
<h3>Interior</h3><br>
<p>The interior is "equally as elaborate in detail" as the exterior, with numerous materials. Circulation centers around a longitudinal east-west corridor through the building. Behind the county entrance is a grand entrance foyer utilizing four types of marble; even the restrooms feature gray Alaskan marble wainscoting. Paneling and woodwork in the offices and courtrooms features Philippine mahogany. The interior breaks with the exterior stylistically, relying on Spanish Colonial Revival ornamentation on the first floor.</p><br>
<p>Several renovations were made prior to the building being listed, all minor reconfigurations of the interior. Some finishes and ceilings were obscured, fire-rated doors were added, and several rooms were divided, but the courtrooms were still predominantly intact in the late 1980s.</p><br>
<p>McClellanville Historic District is a national historic district located at McClellanville, Charleston County, South Carolina. The district encompasses 105 contributing buildings in the town of McClellanville. They include residential, commercial, religious and educational building dating between about 1860 to 1935. Architectural styles include: Carpenter Gothic, Queen Anne, and Italianate. Notable buildings include the King Brothers Store, McClellanville Public School, New Wappetaw Presbyterian Church , Bank of McClellanville , McClellanville Methodist Episcopal Church , and a number of dwellings originally built as summer homes by St. James Santee and Georgetown planters.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Columbia Hotel is the oldest hotel in Ashland, Oregon and has been in continuous operation since its construction in 1910. The hotel occupies the second floor of the Enders Building, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>Designed by architect Frank Chamberlain Clark, the Enders Building was the first concrete commercial structure in Ashland. The Ashland Tidings, December 12, 1910, called it "the largest structure of its kind in Southern Oregon." Featuring characteristics of the Chicago style, it is also significant as an early example of a department store. Hotel accommodations on the second level were constructed to make it possible for shoppers from Northern California as well as from Oregon towns as far north as Grants Pass to travel to the mercantile shops in downtown Ashland by wagon, train, or car to shop and then stay the night at the hotel, and return home the next day.</p><br>
<p>For decades, under the direction of local businessman H.G. Enders, the building was the largest mercantile establishment between Sacramento and Portland. The Columbia Hotel, the only surviving Ashland hotel from this period, continues to prosper today and remains true to its original construction with much of the original fixtures, furniture, and all of the original millwork. Its interior features an antique tin-lined wooden telephone booth, believed to be the oldest booth in Oregon still serving callers.</p><br>
<p>The same year the Enders Building brought its shops, restaurant, and Columbia Hotel to Ashland the Citizens Banking and Trust Co. Building went up next door (with a bank, grocery, and professional offices), while a four-story Elks Lodge (BPOE #944) was constructed directly across the street—all part of the 1909–1913 building boom While all three buildings continue to accommodate a range of shops and other establishments today, only the Columbia Hotel and the Elks Lodge retain their original names and functions. On October 10, 2010, Ashland temporarily closed a stretch of Main Street for a centennial celebration in which re-dedication ceremonies were held at both buildings.</p><br>

<p>Aquadoctan was one of the largest known Native American villages in what is now the USA state of New Hampshire. In an area commonly known today as The Weirs (for the semi-permanent fishing weirs the Natives had built on the river), the village lay on the north bank of the Winnipesaukee River at the outlet of Lake Winnipesaukee in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire. The site is now in Weirs Beach, a summer resort and village of the city of Laconia. The village, whose archaeological remains extend for a half mile along the river and a quarter mile along the lake, has been documented through archaeological investigation to have a settlement history from 9,000 BCE to the late 17th century. The site is documented through colonial reports to be substantially abandoned in 1696, when most of New Hampshire&#39;s remaining Native population withdrew to join the Pequawket at present-day Fryeburg, Maine.</p><br>
<p>A 15 acre section of the village site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<p>The former Federal Building in Laconia, New Hampshire, is located at 719 Main Street. It is a two-story brick Classical Revival structure designed by Louis A. Simon and built 1939-40. Originally built to house the offices of the White Mountain National Forest, it now houses a regional social services agency. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Laconia&#39;s former Federal Building is located on the north side of downtown Laconia, on the east side of Main Street just north of its junction with the multiuse Winnisquam Trail. It is a two-story structure, built originally in a T-shape with a frame of steel and concrete. Its exterior is finished with red brick and granite, a stripped Classical Revival style. The main facade is divided into three sections, with a slightly projecting central entrance section. Its three bays are articulated by wide granite pilasters, with additional pilasters at the corners. They rise to an entablature bearing the legend "United States Department of Agriculture", and a shallow pedimented gable. Windows in the outer sections have granite sills, and the building corners have granite quoins.</p><br>
<p>The structure was designed by Louis A. Simon, the Supervising Architect of the United States Treasury Department, and was built in 1939-40. It was expanded to an H shape with a sympathetic addition in 1966. It originally housed the administrative offices of the White Mountain National Forest, a division of the United States Forest Service and the United States Department of Agriculture. The building&#39;s interior reflects this intended use, with a pair of murals on forestry-related themes in its lobby, which were executed by Philip Guston and Musa McKim.</p><br>
<p>Selli  is a small village community in Rethymno regional unit, Crete, Greece.</p><br>
<p>It is located in a distance of 17 km from the city of Rethymno in the foothills of Mount Vrysinas. The name comes from the Byzantine word σέλλα, σελλίν, σελλία, which means seat or saddle. In Crete the word has come to mean a mountain gap and all communities built there are called σελλιά or σελλί.</p><br>
<p>The community is first recorded in 1411. During the times of Turkish domination people from Selli helped in the revolts against Turkish rule.Some of them include Stylianos G. Giakoumakis,Ioannis G. Giakoumakis,Haralambos G. Andreadakis,Ioannis Emm. Giakoumakis,A.Giakoumakis,G.Vouloumpasis,A. Andreadakis,E. Giakoumakis.</p><br>

<p>Kossila Oxbow is a geographical feature, classified as a Bend, located on the Crow Wing River in Wadena County, MN. Its center lies at a latitude of 46° 43 55.8552" and longitude of -94° 55 19.0194", and it has an elevation of 1,358 ft above sea level. It is located approximately 1.1 mi north of the Mary Brown Bridge and 2.7 mi south of Huntersville Park, near Huntersville State Forest.</p><br>
<h2>Physical</h2><br>
<p>Prior to 1943, Kossila Oxbow was an unnamed, naturally-formed horseshoe shaped bend, approximately 2450 feet in channel length, and 390 feet in downvalley length. Sometime shortly after 1943, the neck of the bend was artificially joined, giving way to an oxbow lake formation.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Although oxbow lake formation is usually a naturally occurring phenomenon in meandering rivers and streams, Kossila Oxbow was man-made by Harold Frank Kossila (1881–1985), originally from Kauvatsa, Finland. In 1920, Kossila, his wife, Eva Hanninen Kossila (1882–1958), and their two sons, Frank and William, emigrated to the United States from Sedley, Saskatchewan, Canada to the rural area of Glyndon, Minnesota. There they managed the Mumford farm while Kossila began acquiring cattle. The 1933 Glyndon rural directory documented at the time that Kossila owned 12 head of cattle.</p><br>
<p>Between 1943 and 1945, Kossila purchased a total of 120 acres of land on the steep banks of the Crow Wing River in Shell Lake Township and moved his small farming operation here. A horseshoe-shaped river bend meandered through the west half of the property. Kossila converted the bend into an oxbow lake. Today the original farmhouse and bridge are no longer standing, but the land around Kossila Oxbow is still privately owned and maintained by the Kossila family.</p><br>
<h2>Name recognition</h2><br>
<p>Kossila Oxbow represents a feature name collected during Phase I GNIS data compilation (1976-1981), primarily from existing USA Geological Survey 1:24,000-scale topographic maps of various edition dates.</p><br>
<p>Kossila Oxbow is listed with HikerCentral.com as " cool spot to check out" for visitors to the area. TravelingLuck.com describes it as a "Local Feature".</p><br>
<p>Kossila Oxbow is the only named water feature in Shell River Township.</p><br>
<p>Ancasmarca, or Sallcasa, is a 5,198 m mountain in the Urubamba mountain range in the Andes of Peru. It is located in the Cusco Region, Calca Province, Calca District, north of the Vilcanota River. Ancasmarca is situated northeast of Huamanchoque, southeast of Canchacanchajasa, south of Sahuasiray, and southwest of Ccerayoc and Condorhuachana.</p><br>
<h2>Mythology</h2><br>
<p>Around 1575, the Spaniard Cristòbal de Molina wrote about the origins of the site in Relación de las fábulas y ritos de los Incas (Account of the Fables and Rites of the Incas). According to him, after consulting with his llamas, a shepherd foresaw the great flood. He took refuge with his 6 children on top of the Ancasmarca hill, which elevated as the waters rose. When the water cleared, the shepherd&#39;s children repopulated the region. For Molina, this was proof that the Andes had experienced the great flood told in the Bible by Noah. Other versions of the story explain that the lamas were sad because the stars were high in the sky and the animals understood what was coming.</p><br>
<h2>Etymology</h2><br>
<p>The word Ancasmarca is of Quechua origin and could have two different meanings:</p><br>
<p>Anqas or ancash: blue; marka: village; "blue village"</p><br>
<p>Anca: eagle; marka: village: "village inhabited by eagles"</p><br>
<p>The Charles E. Tilton Mansion, now the Lucian Hunt Library, stands on the campus of the Tilton School in Tilton, New Hampshire, United States. It is a three-story wood frame building with a mansard roof, built in the early 1860s. Two-story wings extend to the sides of the main block, and a three-story hip-roof service wing extends to the rear. A two-story porch extends around three sides of the main block. The interior is a stylistically eclectic mix, embracing not just the Second Empire which characterizes the exterior, but also Renaissance and Classical Revival elements. Charles Tilton, its builder, was a major force in banking and the Pacific merchant trade. Tilton was born in the area, and he was a generous benefactor to the town of Tilton, which was named in honor of his grandfather and in recognition of his public gifts.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It was acquired by the Tilton School in 1962 and adapted for use as its library, which is named for Lucius Hunt, a teacher of Classics at the school.</p><br>
<p>The Prescott City Cemetery is the principal burying ground for the city of Prescott, Arkansas. It is located in the northwestern part of the city, and is roughly bisected by United States Route 371. The modern  portion of the cemetery is located on one side of the highway, while a historic section, also known as the De Ann Cemetery Historic Section, is located on the other. The historic section dates to not long after the 1874 founding of Prescott, and was formally conveyed to the city for that purpose in 1880. Slightly more than 4 acre in size, the cemetery is divided into a section for whites, containing more than 600 known graves, and a section for African Americans, which has 95 marked graves, but is also known to contain a large number of unmarked graves. Many of Prescott&#39;s founders are interred here.</p><br>
<p>The historic portion of the cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>
<p>The Ouachita River Bridge is a steel Parker through truss bridge carrying Arkansas Highway 7 and Arkansas Highway 51 across the Ouachita River at Arkadelphia, Arkansas. The trusses of the bridge were manufactured in 1933 by the Luten Bridge Company, and were first used to carry Highways 7 and US 67 over the Caddo River. That bridge was disassembled in the 1950s, and the trusses were stored until used to build this bridge in 1960. The main trusses span 202 ft, while the approaches combined measure 301 ft, giving the bridge a total length of 503 ft. The deck is concrete laid on steel girders and is 24 ft wide. It is one of two crossings of the Ouachita River in Clark County.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<p>The Barn on Lot 8, Range G is a historic barn in rural Franklin County, Maine. The barn was built in two stages, the first estimated to be around 1825, the second in 1899. It exhibits an architecturally distinctive solution to issues surrounding the expansion of a traditional English barn. The barn was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<h2>Setting</h2><br>
<p>The barn is located on the west side of Foster Hill Road (Maine State Route 145), in Freeman Township, a former town about 15 mi north of Farmington which was incorporated in 1803 and disincorporated in 1934. The property on which the barn stands has uncertain ownership prior to 1825, and has always been referred to in property records as Lot 8, Range G. The barn stands behind a 1-1/2 story wood frame Cape style house which also appears to date to the first half of the 19th century, whose historical integrity has been compromised by alterations including the application of modern siding. The buildings are surrounded by several acres of fields and former orchard, beyond which lie woods.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The barn is a rectangular structure about 65 ft long and 36 ft wide, with a gable roof. It is oriented east-west, perpendicular to the road. The eastern section of the barn, measuring 46 ft in length, is a traditional English barn built c. 1825, with some modest modifications made to accommodate the western section, which was added in 1899. The original entrance to the older portion is roughly centered on that sections north face, and is a sliding door 12 ft wide. A second, hinged doorway is in the western gable in the new section. There are two pedestrian entrances on the east face, and there is irregular fenestration on the east, south, and west faces. The exterior of the walls is clad in vertical sheathing which is probably a 20th-century replacement. The barns roof is steel.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the barn clearly shows the two sections of the barn. The older portion is built using hand-hewn timbers and scribe-rule joinery, while the newer portion uses sawn timbers and square-rule joinery. It is basically oriented with a north-south aisle separating three bays on either side. The central bay on the west side has been adapted to serve as a passage into the new portion, whose bays run east-to-west. In order to accommodate this addition. two of the older barns main supports were relocated to either side of this new passage. This type of alteration had, as of this barns National Register nomination in 2011, not been seen elsewhere in Maine. A more typical process of expanding an English barn in rural New England was to simply build a second English barn and attach it to the first, but this resulted in two separate aisles. A second common method was to reorient the old barn&#39;s doors to the gable ends, reorienting all of the central posts to accommodate the new central aisle. In this barn, only one side was altered, creating an internal T-shaped aisle layout.</p><br>
<p>Gerritsen Creek is a short watercourse in Brooklyn, New York that empties into Jamaica Bay. The creek currently starts near Avenue U, but its original headwaters lay eight streets farther north. That part of the creek was buried in a storm sewer in 1920. The creek&#39;s mouth and much of its remaining length is part of a nature conservation area called Marine Park. The creek has been described as one of the "fingers" that formed the original shoreline of Jamaica Bay. The creek lies just beyond the maximum extent of the Wisconsin Glacier. According to Touring Gotham&#39;s Archaeological Past, the mill and the dam for its tide pond were between Avenue W and Avenue V, and the mill pond beyond the dam extended past Fillmore Avenue. In recent decades, efforts have been made to restore parts of the creek, particularly the salt marsh near its mouth, to a state closer to its natural one before modern settlement. In 2012 the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers budgeted $8.3 million for the restoration.</p><br>
<p>Archeological investigation has determined that Native American people started to settle permanently in the creeks watershed as early as 5000 BC. The creeks name comes from a historic grist mill built on the creek&#39;s shore in the 17th century. The mill, a tide mill, the first to be built in North America, was built when the area was colonized by the Dutch. The mill remained in use for hundreds of years, until 1890. There were early proponents of preserving heritage buildings who lobbied for its preservation. Mayor Jimmy "Beau James" Walker was brought to the site to view the structure. However, no efforts were made, and the abandoned building was burned by an arsonist in 1935.</p><br>
<p>Recreational boaters regularly abandon unwanted and damaged recreational craft near the creek&#39;s mouth. The small salvage firm White Cap Marine Towing and Salvage, of Sheepshead Bay, specializes in rescuing or salvaging the smaller recreational vessels and smaller fishing vessels that operate out of the smaller inlets around Jamaica Bay, and is also a franchisee of Sea Tow, the leading marine assistance services company. It has a contract to keep the area clear of abandoned vessels.</p><br>
<p>The Central Childrens Home of North Carolina, officially the Central Childrens Home of North Carolina, Inc., and historically known as Grant Colored Asylum, was founded in Oxford, North Carolina in 1883. The home is a residential group environment for children up to young adults.</p><br>

<p>The US Post Office-Somersworth Main is the main post office of Somersworth, New Hampshire. Located at 2 Government Way in downtown Somersworth, it is a Georgian Revival building completed in 1931 to a design by the Office of the Supervising Architect under James A. Wetmore. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Somersworth Post Office is located in the heart of downtown Somersworth, at the junction of Government Way and Fore Street. It is a single-story structure finished in brick with marble trim. It has a hip roof with three marble dormers over the central portion of the main facade. The entry is detailed with fluted Ionic pilasters with a recessed fan window, a form which is repeated in the flanking windows. The main lobby is finished with orange quarry tile flooring and marble wainscoting, with wood trim around the windows and plaster walls. Original frosted-globe light fixtures (still visible in the basement) have been removed in favor of more efficient fluorescent lighting.</p><br>
<p>The building was designed by James A. Wetmore and completed in 1931. It was built as part of a program by the federal government to make more of a presence in smaller communities. The basic form of this building is one of a standard series of designs developed by the Postal Service, but its exterior details were designed for this site by Wetmore.</p><br>
<p>The US Post Office-Dover Main is a historic post office building at 133-137 Washington Street in the center of Dover, New Hampshire, United States. Built in 1911, and enlarged in the 1960s and 1970s, it is one of the region&#39;s only examples of Beaux Arts architecture. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Dovers main post office occupies an entire city block in its downtown area, bounded by Washington, Green, Fayette, and Chestnut Streets. The building has three parts: the original 1911 main building, a large addition on the north side, and an expanded loading dock on the west side. The main portion of the building, a single-story beige brick Beaux Arts structure, was designed by James Knox Taylor and completed in 1911. The original main entrance, facing Washington Street, has been closed off, and some of the buildings original features (such as stone parapet and the original front steps with lampposts) have been removed.</p><br>
<p>A major addition in 1963 expanded the work area to the rear and relocated the public lobby space and postmaster&#39;s office. The original portion has a hipped tin roof, while the addition, attached to its southwest, has a flat asphalt roof. The original interior lobby spaces, originally richly decorated, also lost those finishes in the renovations. Despite these alterations, the building exterior retains most of its Beaux Arts features, and is one of the few examples of this architectural style in southeastern New Hampshire.</p><br>
<p>The Qori Kalis Glacier is a tropical glacier located in the Cordillera Oriental section of the Andes mountains of Peru. It is one of the few tropical glaciers left in the world, and is the main outlet of the Quelccaya Ice Cap.</p><br>
<p>This glacier has lost nearly half of its length since measurements began in 1963 by the Peruvian hydro-electric company Electroperú. Around 2007, the glacier had been retreating at a rate of 600 feet per year.</p><br>
<p>From 1963 to 1978 it retreated at a rate of approximately 6 metres per year. Between 1991 and 2005, it has retreated at around 60 metres per year. It is the largest of all of the tongues of the Quelccaya Ice Cap, many of which are in retreat.</p><br>
<p>Testing shows that the Qori Kalis Glacier advanced to its greatest length around 520 years ago and then began to retreat. It has advanced to small degrees from time to time since then.</p><br>
<h2>Lake</h2><br>
<p>Beginning in 1991, a proglacial lake started to form where the glacier once existed. The lake is extremely deep, and is contained in a natural valley which acts as a dam. In 2004, the lake had reached a depth of 80 meters.</p><br>
<p>In March 2006, a large portion of the glacier detached and fell into the lake. This resulted in a large wave of water surging into the valley below. The risk of such events are monitored because of the risk of flash flooding towns and even cities below.</p><br>
<p>Ntolonapemk, also known as the Eastern Surplus Company Superfund Site and Maine State Survey No. 96.02, is a prehistoric archaeological site in Meddybemps, a small town in Washington County, Maine. Located near the outlet of Meddybemps Lake, it is one of the only major inland prehistoric habitation sites in the county, with evidence of more than 8,000 years of use.

<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>"Ntolonapemk" is a historic name given to the site by the local Passamaquoddy tribe, meaning "Our Relative&#39;s Place". It is located on the south shore of Meddybemps Lake, at its outlet into the Dennys River. The site was locally well known as a place where small stone artifacts could be found, and was used as a storage site for military surplus goods by the Eastern Surplus Company beginning in 1946. In the 1980s it was identified as a Superfund site, and cleanup began in 1998. The area was first identified by state archaeologists in 1967, and underwent an in-depth excavations in 2000 and 2001. The site is located along what was a well-traveled Native route between Passamaquoddy Bay and the interior of Maine, and has yielded evidence of periodic occupation of the site from the Early Archaic (c. 8000 BCE) to the time of European contact and beyond.</p><br>
<p>More than 200 features have been found at the site, include large number of fire hearths, garbage pits, and storage pits. Artifacts found at the site include more than 70,000 animal bones, most of them consist with use as food. Alewife and other small anadromous fish were prominent in this assemblage, and were found across the time span of the site.</p><br>
<p>Sharbot Lake is a lake in the municipality of Central Frontenac, Frontenac County in Eastern Ontario, Canada. It is part of the Saint Lawrence River drainage basin. The eponymous community of Sharbot Lake is located at the centre of the north shore of the lake.</p><br>

<p>Sir Graham Moore Island is located off the Kimberley coast of Western Australia.</p><br>
<p>The island encompasses an area of 2,746 hectare. It is situated within the Sir Graham Moore Islands group, about 45 km north of Kalumburu.</p><br>
<p>Originally, the islasnd was inhabited by a band of the Kambure people. Today, by succession, the traditional owners of the island and the Barurungari group, of the Worrorran language group, whose name for the island is Niiwalarra. The Jaurinanda peoples who had once inhabited the island once traded with the Makassan who routinely viited the area sometime between 1669 and 1763. Both groups harvested and processed sea cucumber with the Jaurinanda incorporating several Malay words into their language.</p><br>
<p>The group and island were named in 1819 by Phillip Parker King after Sir Graham Moore who held a seat of the board of the English Admiralty Board.</p><br>
<p>A LORAN radar site was established on the north west corner of the island during World War II by American and Australian forces. The site consisted of a radar building, radio building, a powerhouse and a campsite. The concrete pad for the main building are all that remain today.</p><br>
<p>The island once supported a population of feral pigs but by 2009 they had died out, apparently from the only fresh water source becoming saline following erosion from a cyclone.</p><br>

Its features are characteristic of the style, with heavy massing, granite trim, and a tall clock tower. Although it is nominally 2-1/2 stories in height, it has a raised basement below, and its slate hip roof is pierced by gables, giving four usable stories of space. The tower is a massive square structure, rising five stories to a pyramidal roof, and features an electronic carillon installed in 1952, and a Howard clock donated by the architects. The main block and tower have round turrets projecting from their corners.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Thompson Hall was the first building to be built on the new campus of the New Hampshire College of Agricultural and Mechanical Arts, which had been founded in 1866 as a land grant college and was previously located near the Dartmouth College campus in Hanover. Benjamin Thompson, a Durham farmer, died 1890, leaving an estate worth $400,000, with 253 acre of land, to the state for use as an agricultural school. The state accepted his gift, and construction of Thompson Hall began in 1891, with a landscape plan for the campus developed by Charles Eliot. The unfinished hall was the site of graduation in spring 1893, and was formally opened for classes that fall.</p><br>
<p>The hall has housed the college presidents office since its construction, and its other spaces have seen a wide variety of uses. At first it housed all of the college facilities, including classrooms, laboratories, a library, and a gymnasium. The gymnasium moved into a new building in 1899 and the library moved out in 1907. Over the following decades it came to house more administrative offices, as academic facilities moved to new buildings. In 1952, the buildings single bell was replaced by an electronic carillon. The interior was extensively altered in 1986, retaining only a few rooms in their original appearance; one of these houses museum displays relating to the university&#39;s history.</p><br>

<p>The Elk Mountains are a small range of mountains in western South Dakota, forming the southwest portion of the Black Hills as part of its west-dipping monocline. They are geologically distinct from the Black Hills, on the other side of a "racetrack" region of red stone. The ridge of the Elk Mountains is formed of harder sandstones. The east face of the Elk Mountains is a 300 to 800 ft high escarpment, but the west portion falls slowly and features many canyons. The mountains are about 3,800 ft higher than the low prairie hills to their west.</p><br>
<p>Most of the Elk Mountains were protected in the Harney National Forest until 1954, when this protected area joined the Black Hills National Forest. Today the large South Dakota portion of the mountain range is in the Hell Canyon District of the Black Hills National Forest, while the much smaller Wyoming portion lies in the Bearlodge District. The Elk Mountains are one of three mountain ranges that comprise the Black Hills region and national forest, including the Black Hills itself and Wyoming&#39;s Bear Lodge Mountains.</p><br>
<p>Elk Mountain is the highest point of the range and has a lookout tower on its summit. Other peaks include Pilger Mountain and Sullivan Peak.</p><br>
<p>Few people live in or near the Elk Mountains. The closest town is Edgemont, South Dakota, to the south. Tiny unincorporated Dewey and ghost town Burdock lie to the west. Ten miles to the northwest is Newcastle, Wyoming.</p><br>

<p>The Downtown Guntersville Historic District is a historic district in Guntersville, Alabama. The district includes most of the central business district of Guntersville, as well as some houses. The town was founded in the 1820s as a port on the Tennessee River. Most of the town was destroyed during the Civil War, although the Henry-Jordan House was spared. The business district began to rebuild after the war, and development was spurred in the late 19th and early 20th century by the Nashville, Chattanooga, and St. Louis Railway and by manufacturing firms. The opening of Guntersville Dam by the Tennessee Valley Authority in 1939 turned Guntersville into a peninsula, and created tourism and recreation opportunities on the new lake. Many commercial buildings were constructed after World War II until 1964, in contrast to many small-town downtown areas. Popular architectural styles from the time are represented, including elaborately decorated Victorian, simpler commercial brick styles, and post-war streamlined styles. Notable contributing properties in the district are the Albert G. Henry, Jr., House, the Henry-Jordan House, and the Guntersville Post Office, all of which are individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The district was listed on the National Register in 2012.</p><br>
<p>Čúdnić is an eastern tributary of the Vrbanja river in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It flows to Panići village and empties into the village of Čudić in the village of Kruševo Brdo, below Arapovo Brdo . It springs on the southeastern slopes of the lower Vlašićs plateau, below the Ilomska and its tributaries. The spring is on a riverhead with the Kovačevića creek and the Ćorkovac creek.

<p>In World War II, during Operation Kugelblitz, or the 6th Enemy Offensive, of 1943 to 1944, partisans established the 12th Division&#39;s hospital near Šiprage. After consistent bombings of neighboring Šiprage, about 600 injured and sick partisans were temporarily displaced to Čudnić village and other surrounding settlements on January 4, 1944. After the departure of German and Chetnik units, this "mobile hospital" quickly returned to Šiprage (January 15, 1944).</p><br>
<p>After the war, the remains of dead partisans were moved from temporary graves in the forest to a Memorial Partisan Cemetery in Šiprage near Zagradine.</p><br>
<p>During the past War in Bosnia (1992 – 1995), all the Bosniaks villages around Čudnić were destroyed, and their civilian inhabitants were killed and displaced, as well as those from all the Bosniak and Croat villages to the Vrbanja&#39;s mouth (in Vrbas).Who lives there now? Former murderers and their offspring, or other invaders?</p><br>

<p>The Henry–Jordan House is a historic house located at 301 Blount Avenue in Guntersville, Alabama.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The house was built in 1875–77 by Pat Henry, a prominent local merchant. Henrys grandfather and father were also merchants, and built their business into the largest in the Marshall County. Henry attended the Cumberland Law School, returning home to join his father, and eventually took over the business upon his fathers death in 1856. He retired in 1876, and constructed the Greek Revival house around the same time. The two-story house follows a central hall plan, and has a wide entry porch with a narrow balcony above. The house was later acquired by Billy Jordan, a local farmer. It sits across from the Albert G. Henry Jr. House, built by Pat&#39;s brother in 1895.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 4, 1979.</p><br>
<p>The Ford–Countess House  is a historic residence near Huntsville in Madison County, Alabama. Hezekiah Ford came to Madison County from Cumberland County, Virginia, in 1813, and began purchasing land on which to build a cotton plantation. He acquired the land on which the house stands in 1820, and built the two-story, brick I-house soon after. Ford died in 1839, and the land was owned by his wife, Nancy, until her death in 1844. Hezekiah&#39;s brother, John, then assumed ownership, and the plantation stayed in his family until 1904. It reached a peak of 280 acres , and the family owned 69 slaves in 1860. James W. Burcum owned the property from 1904 until 1911, when it was sold to Stephen H. Countess of Tuscaloosa. The Countess family still owns and farms the land, although the house has not been occupied since 1995.</p><br>
<p>The plantation house is a two-story, brick I-house with Federal details. A one-room wing off the northeast rear of the house was enlarged circa 1845 with the addition of a second room and second story. The main block has a gable roof with chimneys in each gable end. The front façade has a full-width, shed roof supported square posts with Victorian brackets which originally covered a porch; a small side stair and platform in front of the twin front doors currently occupy the space. Most of the windows on the house are two-over-two sash windows, although the first floor façade originally had twelve-over-twelve windows. The main block interior consists of two rooms on each floor, with Federal fireplace mantels in each room. The rear ell is also divided into two rooms on each floor, although a stair hall has been partitioned off from the southern room on the second floor.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>

<p>The Golden Eagle-Toppmeyer Site is a pre-Columbian archaeological site located near the confluence of the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers in Calhoun County, Illinois. The site is associated with the Havana Hopewell culture and has two main components: the Golden Eagle earthwork and the Toppmeyer habitation site. The earthwork, which dates from the Middle Woodland period , is the only geometric earthwork from the period in the central Mississippi River valley. Two mounds are incorporated in the rounded earthwork; one is located at the center, and one is located at a gap which has been called the "entrance" to the earthwork. The Toppmeyer habitation site, which overlaps the western edge of the earthwork, dates from the Late Woodland period . The overall site was likely a regional transaction center at which extensive trade and cultural exchange among Hopewell people in the Illinois River valley took place.</p><br>
<p>The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 14, 1979.</p><br>
<p>The Oscar Foss Memorial Library is the public library of Barnstead, New Hampshire. It is located in the center of town at 111 South Barnstead Road, in a single-story Colonial Revival building  designed by the William M. Butterfield Company of Manchester and built in 1916-17.

<h2>Architecture and history</h2><br>
<p>The Oscar Foss Memorial Library is one of several municipal buildings lining South Barnstead Road in the village of Center Barnstead; it is located on the west side of the street, opposite the town hall and Congregational church. It is a single-story masonry structure, built out of brick with trim of wood and stone, and is covered by a hip roof with copper finials at the peak. It is three bays wide and two deep, with a central entrance set in a recess below a pedimented gable studded with modillion blocks. The recess has flanking columns and corner quoins. The windows on either side of the entry are topped by splayed stone lintels with keystones, and have upper sashes divided into triangular panes. The interior is organized with the main reading room to the left, the former town offices to the right, and a traditional central librarian&#39;s desk in the center.</p><br>
<p>The town of Barnstead voted in 1892 to establish a public library. It was at first housed either in private homes or stores, and was at one point divided into small collections located in each of the towns four villages. The collection was consolidated into one room of a private house in Center Barnstead in 1906, with the need for a permanent home apparent. This building was given to the town by Sarah Foss, in memory of her husband, and was dedicated in 1917. It was designed by William M. Butterfield, an architect based in Manchester, and is one of the finest examples of Classical Revival architecture in the New Hampshire Lakes Region. It was largely unaltered until 1970, when the basement was finished for use as a community space. In 1979 the town offices moved out, and the space was adapted as a childrens reading room, with woodwork and shelving carefully matched to the existing finishes. A major modern addition was made to the rear of the building in 2000.</p><br>
