<p>The Schuyler Apartments are a historic apartment building at 275 South Church Street in Spartanburg, South Carolina. The 13-story concrete, glass, and steel structure was designed by David W. Cecil  and built in 1950. The International style structure, with clean and simple lines, is a fine representative example of post-World War II construction in Spartanburg. Cecil also is known locally for the design of Spartanburg City Hall and the main branch of the Spartanburg Post Office, all three of which were for years considered eyesores. The Schuyler building has found itself placed on the National Historical Register recently in time for the grand reopening of the building.</p><br>
<p>The building formerly housed subsidized families: low-income and elderly residents. Of late it has been refurbished as upscale studios and one bedroom units.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<p>Pillow Place also known as Pillow-Haliday Place is an historic plantation mansion located southwest of the city of Columbia, Maury County, Tennessee on Campbellsville Pike.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Gideon Pillow, a surveyor that had moved to Maury County, left 500 acres to be divided among his three sons. The Pillow-Haliday Place mansion and plantation buildings were built by master builder Nathan Vaught in 1850, for Major Granville A. Pillow (b.1805 in Columbia,TN; d.1868 in Clifton, TN), and was the second of three Pillow homes built. Vaught also built Clifton Place (1839) for Gideon Johnson Pillow, and Pillow-Bethel House (1855) for Jerome Bonaparte Pillow. The three mansions were closely designed but Pillow Place lacked the second story gallery and the portico had a low parapet at the top instead of a pediment. The mansion was built on the site of Gideon Pillow&#39;s old home.</p><br>
<h2>NRHP</h2><br>
<p>The mansion was placed on the National Register of Historic Places listings in Maury County, Tennessee on December 8, 1983.</p><br>
<p>The Norris House is a historic house located at 1247 Cowper St. in Palo Alto, California. The house was built in 1927 for Kathleen Norris, a novelist and columnist who was once the highest-paid female author in the United States, and her husband Charles Gilman Norris, also a noted novelist. Kathleen Norris novels featured female characters who represented her ideals of motherhood and moral virtue; her columns appeared in major magazines and included both short stories and advice columns. Charles Gilman Norris wrote novels which touched on contemporary social issues and served as Kathleens agent.</p><br>
<p>In 1949, the Diocese of San Francisco purchased the house to serve as the Newman Center for Stanford University. Around 2000 the house was sold into private hands again.</p><br>
<p>Architect Birge Clark designed the Spanish Colonial Revival house. At the time, the house was Clarks largest and most expensive design. The houses layout features several one- and two-story sections surrounding a patio. The house is built from white stucco with a tile roof; handcrafted ironwork and woodwork is used in the beams and decorations.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 24, 1980.</p><br>
<p>Hotel Rogers is a historic structure located in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, whose construction was headed by Fred Rogers in 1927-28. Rogers, who was then president of the Malleable Iron Range Company, built the 6 story hotel to cater to the salesmen that frequently visited the city. Additional floor space on the sixth level was added in 1930. This building was operated as a hotel by his daughter, Ann Rogers-Pfieffer until 1987.</p><br>
<p>The facilities in the building include a large kitchen and dining room on the first level. This dining room was operated part-time as a restaurant and was available for events like meetings and banquets. Other facilities included a coffee shop, a drug store, and a barber and a beauty shop. A writing room/parlor was provided for female guests, while male guests could enjoy a bar that discreetly served patrons even during the years of prohibition.</p><br>
<p>In 1987 a business partnership purchased the building. Extensive remodeling and updating was done at that time. Some of the hotel style rooms were combined into full apartments. Reception areas were furnished with antiques and new carpet in a style similar to the originals was installed. Bronze chandeliers and sconces with Tiffany style glass shades replaced fluorescent fixtures on the main floor. The entire building was updated and upgraded to follow the original style of the building as much as possible. There are currently 41 apartments and 20 sleeping rooms.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. The building is currently operated as an apartment building with monthly rates with a mix of full apartments and sleeping rooms.</p><br>
<p>Numerous claims are made regarding famous people visiting or staying at the hotel. The John F. Kennedy presidential library contains a transcript of a speech that he made there in 1960.</p><br>
<p>The front desk also played a supporting role in the movie, Public Enemies, filmed at area locations in 2008.</p><br>
<p>The current owner is Downtown Rogers, Inc. with their offices currently located in the building.</p><br>
<p>The Richard B. Haywood House, built in 1854, is a historic residence in the Capitol Area Historic District in Raleigh, North Carolina. The house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and is the last home in the Capitol Area Historic District. The home is still owned by the Haywood family.</p><br>
<p>Dr. Richard B. Haywood opposed North Carolina&#39;s secession from the United States during the Civil War, however he served as a surgeon in the North Carolina Militia on the staff of the Surgeon General. Union General William Tecumseh Sherman reached Raleigh after the Confederate defeat at Bentonville, the last major battle of the Carolinas Campaign. On April 13, 1865, Raleigh Mayor William H. Harrison asked Dr. Haywood to serve on a committee of emissaries that surrendered Raleigh to Sherman. The occupying Union forces in Raleigh were under the command of Major General Frank P. Blair, a friend of Dr. Haywood during their attendance at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Blair chose the Richard B. Haywood House as his headquarters during the occupation of Raleigh. Dr. Haywood and Blair hosted Sherman and General Ulysses S. Grant at the house.</p><br>
<p>Shebandowan Lakes is the name for the combined entity of three lakes — Upper Shebandowan Lake at the west, Middle Shebandowan Lake at the centre, and Lower Shebandowan Lake at the east — in the Unorganized Part of Thunder Bay District in Northwestern Ontario, Canada. The lakes are in the Great Lakes Basin, and Lower Shebandowan Lake is the source of the Shebandowan River.</p><br>
<p>The primary inflows are Greenwater Creek at the southwest; the Kashabowie River at the north; and the Swamp River at the northeast. The primary outflow is the Shebandowan River, which leaves Lower Shebandowan Lake over a weir at the east at the community of Shebandowan, and flows via the Matawin River and the Kaministiquia River to Lake Superior.</p><br>
<p>Ontario Highway 11, at this point part of the Trans-Canada Highway, follows the north shore of the lakes. Ontario Highway 586 branches from Highway 11 along an isthmus between Middle Shebandowan Lake and Lower Shebandowan Lake. The Canadian National Railway Kashabowie Subdivision main line, built originally as the Canadian Northern Railway transcontinental main line, also follows the north shore of the lakes. Kashabowie/Upper Shebandowan Lake Water Aerodrome is on Upper Shebandowan Lake.</p><br>

<p>Hunts Run is a tributary of Sullivan Branch in Sullivan County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is approximately 0.5 mi long and flows through Davidson Township. Its watershed has an area of 0.40 square miles. The stream has a low pH and poor water quality. The main rock formations in the area are the Huntley Mountain Formation, and the Burgoon Sandstone. The main soil associations in the vicinity of the stream are the Deep-Wellsboro-Oquaga association, the Morris association, and the Oquaga association.</p><br>
<h2>Course</h2><br>
<p>Hunts Run begins on a plateau in Davidson Township. It begins flowing east and almost immediately enters a valley, where it flows downhill very steeply. After a short distance, it reaches its confluence with Sullivan Branch.</p><br>
<p>Hunts Run joins Sullivan Branch 1.68 mi upstream of its mouth.</p><br>
<h2>Hydrology</h2><br>
<p>Hunts Run experiences chronic acidification. During both average flow conditions and high flow conditions, the water quality of the stream is "severe", a rating worse than "very poor". Its pH is less than 4.</p><br>
<p>Hunts Run is considered by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection to be impaired by atmospheric deposition due to metals and pH. It was first recognized as impaired in 2002 and as of December 2011, the total maximum daily load date is 2015.</p><br>
<h2>Geography and geology</h2><br>
<p>The elevation near the mouth of Hunts Run is 1,624 ft above sea level. The elevation of the stream&#39;s source is between 2,240 ft and 2,260 ft.</p><br>
<p>The headwaters of Hunts Run are on Burgoon Sandstone. The rest of the stream flows over rock of the Huntley Mountain Formation.</p><br>
<p>The lower reaches of Hunts Run are on soil of the Deep-Wellsboro-Oquaga soil association. The middle reaches of the stream are on rock outcroppings. The upper reaches are on soil of the Oquaga soil association, the Morris soil association, and various minor soil associations. Most of the soils that the stream flows on are strongly acidic.</p><br>
<h2>Watershed</h2><br>
<p>The watershed of Hunts Run has an area of 0.40 square miles. There are 0.5 mi of streams in the watershed.</p><br>
<p>A waterfall known as the Hunts Run falls is situated on Hunts Run. It is a cascade-over-falls type waterfall with a height of 30 ft.</p><br>
<p>A hiking trail passes near the lower reaches of Hunts Run.</p><br>
<p>Hunts Run is designated for use by aquatic life.</p><br>
<p>Đống Đa Mound  or Đống Đa Hill is a historic tumulus-like mound in the Đống Đa Park , in the Đống Đa District, Hanoi, Vietnam.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>Đống Đa Mound is said to be the place where the Battle of Ngọc Hồi-Đống Đa between Tây-Sơn and the Manchu Qing army ended.</p><br>
<p>Having lost, Sầm Nghi Đống is said to have fled and refused to fall into the hands of the Tây-Sơn by hanging himself on Ốc (Loa Sơn) hill. After the war, in order to promote diplomatic relations with the Qing, Sầm Nghi Đống was returned for a state burial and resident Han Chinese were allowed to build a temple on today&#39;s Đào Duy Từ street.</p><br>
<p>After the battle, King Quang Trung ordered the bodies of the enemies to be collected and put into 12 big burials which became large hills or mounds. These 12 hills were spread from Quang Thịnh to Nam Đông village. As they became overgrown with banyan trees the landscape came to be called Đống Đa, literally Heap of Banyan trees.</p><br>
<p>In 1851, during construction and clearance work for new roads and the Nam Đồng markets, more remains were found and gathered into a big burial next to Ốc hill. This mound gradually expanded and merged with Ốc hill. As it became overgrown it eventually became to be named Đống Đa Mound.</p><br>
<p>During the French occupation, the French army dug out the twelve hills leaving only Ốc mound untouched. Therefore, the current Đống Đa Mound became the remaining 13th mound.</p><br>
<p>In 1989, to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the victory the Đống Đa Park was established.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Đống Đa Mound is located within the Đống Đa Park. On top of Đống Đa Mound is a temple gate which has on its top 3 Han Chinese words Trung Liệt miếu (Trung Liệt shrine). There was supposed to be a temple which doesn’t exist anymore. From the foot of the mount leads a paved way to the statue of King Quang Trung-Nguyễn Huệ with two relievos and a museum.</p><br>
<h2>Đống Đa Festival</h2><br>
<p>Around 1851, the inhabitants of Nam Đồng and Thịnh Quang villages built a pagoda, Đồng Quang Pagoda, in front of the mound. From then on, the Đồng Quang Pagoda organized an annual religious ceremony to commemorate the Đống Đa Battle on the 5th day of the Lunar New Year. People would gather and many activities would take place like a play of the battle, and the triumphant march into Thăng Long Citadel.</p><br>
<p>Greenmeadow is a subdivision located in southern Palo Alto, California. Developer Joseph Eichler built the development, which includes 243 single-story homes, in 1954-55. Architects A. Quincy Jones and Frederick Emmons designed the plans for the modernist homes; homebuyers chose from six models, which they could modify at an additional cost. Jones was the primary architect for the Greenmeadow properties and was responsible for the homes thin, lofty roofs and open, free-flowing interiors. Eichler had already achieved success as one of the first developers to bring modernism to affordable single-family homes, and Greenmeadow represented the continuing development and refinement of his work. Jones and Emmons built reputations as home designers while working with Eichler, designing roughly 5,000 of Eichlers 11,000 houses.</p><br>
<p>The subdivision was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 28, 2005.</p><br>
<p>The Kee House is a historic house located at 2310 Yale St. in Palo Alto, California. Built in 1889, it is one of the oldest houses in Palo Alto and the oldest surviving building from Mayfield, a village that predated Palo Alto and was later annexed into the city. The house was one of the first built in the College Terrace tract, a middle-class residential area named for its proximity to Stanford University. The two-story house has an Italianate design with Eastlake elements. The front and side porches feature carved brackets and turned posts; the rear entrance originally had a similar porch. The hip roof features double brackets and a frieze below its eaves.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 11, 1985.</p><br>
<p>Butterfly Valley  is a valley in Fethiye district of Muğla Province, southwestern Turkey, which is home to diverse butterfly species.</p><br>
<h2>Valley</h2><br>
<p>The valley is situated at the foothill of Babadağ, a 1,975 m mountain nominated for preservation as world heritage. A wide-strip sand beach at a bay on the Turkish Riviera protrudes from the valley. In the form of a narrow canyon stretching over around 3 -, the valley&#39;s steep walls are 350 - high. A trail in the valley leads to two small waterfalls dropping from 60 m all the year around. In the middle of the valley, a creek runs, carrying water from a spring in nearby Faralya village to the sea. A road from Ölüdeniz to Uzunyurt, which is part of the Lycian Way Ultramarathon route, runs atop the rocks around the valley.</p><br>
<h2>Flora and fauns</h2><br>
<p>The valley, rich in flora and fauna, takes its name from the large number of butterfly species found here. Scientists recorded some 147 flora species belonging to 54 families and 105 butterfly species from 15 families native to the valley. The butterfly species include the Jersey tiger (Euplagia quadripunctaria rhodosensis). Butterflies of many varieties in a wide range of colors can be observed in the valley between June and September.</p><br>
<h2>Ecotourism</h2><br>
<p>Due to its natural beauty, Butterfly Valley is an important ecotourism attraction place in Turkey. It is accessible by shuttle boat service from Belceğiz Beach of Ölüdeniz in 5 - distance, operating hourly at daytime. In the valley, various outdoor activities such as camping, hiking, canyoning, canoeing and scuba diving can be performed. The valley is open to public the entire year. During July and August, around 200 visitors camp daily in the valley.</p><br>
<p>Designated a nature reserve as protected area of first category on February 8, 1995, any type of construction in Butterfly Valley is strictly prohibited by law. Therefore, only temporary structures are allowed here. On an area of 10 daa, up to 250 people can be accommodated in tents in addition to a few simple wooden bungalows. Central sanitary facilities are for shared use. Electricity is supplied by a generator, available free of charge during certain times of the day. A small country restaurant and a bar provide food and beverages in the summer time.</p><br>
<h2>Controversy</h2><br>
<p>Officials at the valley and campers complained about disturbance by tour sailboats, which frequently stop off at the valley. A music festival, held in May 2013, was sharply criticized by local environmentalists.</p><br>
<p>The Gschwandtkopf is a mountain south of the ski resort of Seefeld in Tirol in the Austrian state of Tyrol. It is 1,495 metres high. There are two inns at the summit: the Ötzi Hut and the Sonnenalm.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The Gschwandtkopf rises prominently above the surrounding Seefeld Plateau by some 300-400 metres. The summit is located about 1.5 kilometres south-southwest of the centre of Seefeld, about 1.5 km west-northwest of the village of Auland and 2.5 kilometres east-northeast of Mösern. The mountain is bounded to the west and northwest by the Möserer Tal valley, to the east and northeast by the Seefeld Plateau and to the south by the Hoher Wand, a high rock face above the Inn valley. At the northeastern foot of the Geschwandtkopf is the picturesque bathing lake of Wildsee.</p><br>
<h2>Winter sports</h2><br>
<p>The Geschwandtkopf has an Olympic ski jump at the foot of its northern slopes. It is also one of several ski areas at Seefeld. There is an eponymous chairlift from Seefeld to the summit and two shorter T-bar lifts at the bottom of the piste: the Olympialift and the Brunnenlift. Until 2013, another chairlift, the Sessellift Reith, used to run from Auland to the top. The majority of downhill runs are easy (blue) but there is at least one marked medium (red) route. There are also three lifts on the neighbouring Brennenkopf (1,494 m) linking the village of Mosern with the ski area on the Geschwandtkopf. There is a rodelbahn from the top to Auland. Around the base of the mountain are several cross-country skiing runs which are part of an extensive network in the Seefeld area.</p><br>
<p>The Kohler Riverbend Estate is an historic property located in Kohler, Wisconsin. It was built in 1922–1923 By Walter J. Kohler, Sr., then governor of Wisconsin and president of the Kohler Company. It was reported to cost in excess of $1,000,000 to construct.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Kohler commissioned architect Richard Philipp, of the Milwaukee firm of Brust & Philipp, to design the house. Phillip had previously designed a house for Walter&#39;s father, John Michael Kohler. Phillip had also previously worked on the Kohler Village for Walter Kohler, designing most of the new structures built from 1916 through the mid-1920s. Kohler commissioned the Olmsted Brothers, well known for creating Central Park in New York City and the Harvard and Stanford campuses, to design the grounds of the estate.</p><br>
<p>The grounds were landscaped in the English tradition to accentuate the natural beauty of the site that captivated Walter and his wife Charlotte. The design of the house and grounds was inspired during trips that they made to Great Britain and Europe.</p><br>
<p>Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, Riverbend was a gathering place for social occasions. Walter and Charlotte entertained their guests on a grand scale.</p><br>
<p>Walter Kohler died in 1940 and his Charlotte died in 1947. In 1948 The property was purchased by his son, John Michael Kohler III, and his wife Julilly House Kohler. John and Julilly would continue the tradition opening the house to the public and of hosting large events. John Kohler died in 1968 and Julilly died in 1976.</p><br>
<p>The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The house was acquired from Walter’s descendants by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The Kohler Co. in turn purchased Riverbend in 1985 from the Trust. The house sat empty for about 15 years until the restoration effort was begun in March 2000. The home was expanded and remodeled with a four-story addition added at the east end, and opened in 2001 as an exclusive private membership club.</p><br>
<p>The house currently features 31 guest rooms, two dining rooms, solarium, living room, Rathskeller, meeting rooms, spa with treatment areas, steam room, sauna, whirlpool, and an indoor-outdoor year-round swim-through pool.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<h3>House</h3><br>
<p>The house is a prime example of Tudor Revival architecture. The house was considered architecturally significant enough that it was included in the book Great Houses of America along with 29 other houses such as Monticello, Biltmore, The Breakers, and Lyndhurst. The house was notable, partly because unlike most Tudor Revival homes constructed in the time period, it was not designed with a modern interior. There was much effort to use typical old-world materials and craftsmanship in the construction.</p><br>
<p>The house as constructed, was a three story building with no rigid floor plan and approximately 50 rooms. The exterior is a complex of gables, dormers, hip roofs, turrets and varied offsets. The exterior was primarily brick with varied cut stone insertions in areas such as corners and windows. Some of the faces under the gable ends were finished in a smooth light stucco. The open solarium in the southern facade was surrounded in four-centred archways supporting additional floors of living space above. Many of the windows were divide into triple sections by stone mullions.</p><br>
<p>The interiors, while not a strict reproduction of authentic Tuder style, contained many natural materials like stone and timbers. Other design elements included tiled floors, carved stone fireplaces, and stained glass medallions in the windows.</p><br>
<p>The main door leading into the great hall contained leaded glass divided lites. This large room measured 20 by 42 feet and was paved with Vermont granite slabs, a wooden ceiling supported by cased oak beams, white stucco walls and numerous four-centred arch openings. The main feature of the room is a massive fireplace built of carved Madison sandstone.</p><br>
<p>Many of the rooms contained vaulted ceiling and the hallway ceilings were typically varied combinations of different sizes of intersecting vaults. An unusual octagonal circular stairway leads from the second floor to the third.</p><br>
<p>The house was furnished with many antiques such as Kurdistan rugs, William and Mary highback chairs, Flemish tapestries, a Queen Anne bookcase (c. 1719), and a Chippendale chest (c. 1780). Most of the antiques were imported.</p><br>
<p>The fashion in the twenties for interiors emphasized ample draperies and heavy wall hangings. Dark walls and upholstery, furniture in dark woods like Jacobean oak and William and Mary walnut were also common. In the late 1940s after acquiring the house, John and Julilly made changes to bring more light into the house. Changes included lighter curtains around the widows, first floor walls and ceilings painted mostly white, bedrooms in pastel colors or papered, removing heavy draperies and wall hangings and substituting lighter fabrics and colors whenever possible.</p><br>
<p>The original house had in excess of 28,000 square feet of floor space. The addition, constructed in 2000–2001, added more than 10,000 square feet to the house. The addition was constructed with design information from the original architect to be as true to the house as possible. The addition contains four floors, making it taller than the original house but efforts were made to make it match as closely as possible. Restoration work to the original house involved matching many different types of plaster work including repairs to many elaborate detailed ornamental features. Much of the original plaster had to be removed and replaced due to moisture causing the different layers to delaminate. It was estimated that about 80% of the original ceiling detail was saved. Exterior restoration work included replacing much of the original stucco on the gables ends with a modern EIFS in matching textures and colors.</p><br>
<h3>Landscape</h3><br>
<p>The primary elements of the landscaping are rustic stone walls, rock gardens, sunken lawns an allée of evergreens, formal beds, and a bowling green.</p><br>
<p>An unusual feature of the landscaping was the focus on an unusual box-elder tree with a span in excess of 100 feet. The longest lower limbs dipped to ground level rooting themselves. A painting of the tree by Charlotte, titled Earthbound, was featured in a gallery display of Wisconsin art sponsored by The Milwaukee Journal, in 1930. The tree began to die in the 1970s and in now gone.</p><br>
<p>The Pettigrew House is a historic house located at 1336 Cowpers St. in Palo Alto, California. Architect George Washington Smith designed the Spanish Colonial Revival house, which was built in 1925. Smith, best known for his work in Santa Barbara, is credited with popularizing Spanish Colonial Revival architecture in California. The house is "L" shaped with one story in the front and two on the rear wing; it has a white stucco exterior with a red tile roof. The two front windows are covered with iron grilles. French windows in the back of the house open to a garden and paved patio. A decorative system of wooden beams supports the living room and dining room ceilings, and decorative tiles cover the floors of most first-floor rooms.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 25, 1980.</p><br>
<p>God&#39;s House Hospital was a refuge for poor travellers in Southampton, England. Much of the complex has now been destroyed, with only two buildings remaining: the gatehouse, a grade II listed scheduled ancient monument, and the chapel, a grade I listed building.</p><br>
<p>The hospital was founded in the 12th century by Gervase le Riche, Burgess and Portreeve of Southampton.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Foundation</h3><br>
<p>The Hospice, or Hospital of Gods House - Domus Dei or Maison Dieu - was founded in the latter half of the 12th century by Gervase (or Gervaise) le Riche, Burgess and Portreeve of Southampton. In the Norman or Mediaeval Latin of that period, he is named Praepositus de Sudhanton. Gervase le Riche had one brother, Roger (possibly a twin), who was the first warden of Gods House.</p><br>
<p>The reasons for le Riches decision to found the hospital are not known. John Leland reported that the hospital was founded on the site of the founders home. As portreeve, le Riche would be likely to live near the scene of his duties; his house would have opened directly onto the harbour, at a time when there was no wall running along Winkle Street from the Water Gate to God&#39;s House Gateway. The portreeve would step out of his house, through the wicket-gate, at once upon a pier or quay, against which the waters lapped at high tide, and where the official vessel awaited him for embarkation. Behind, and at the side of his house, along the present High Street, and up to Gloucester Square, stretched the garden and orchards. Nearby, at the other side, lay the Bowling Green.</p><br>
<p>The resident members of the Hospital consisted of a custos or warden, two or more priests, three or more brethren, some ten sisters, three or more poor men and women — who were to make themselves generally useful according to their health and strength. Besides these, there were various officials and servants necessary for so large an establishment, such as cook, barber surgeon, laundress, dairymaid, cowherd, shepherd, brewer, and swineherd. There appears to have been a large body of men, partially non-resident, who, acting as under-stewards, managed the various properties of the Hospital, and had to give account thereof to the warden. Attached to the establishment also were others, non-resident, living on the various farms and manors, and being unpaid, subsisted on the produce of the land which they tilled.</p><br>
<p>For the maintenance of the Hospital the founder bestowed on it grants of land, farms, manors and messuages which were subsequently supplemented by further bequests made by royal and other donors. Some of these lands lay in the neighbourhood of God&#39;s House while other landed property was situated further afield — at Stoneham, West End, Botley, also in Portsmouth, Dorset, and the Isle of Wight.</p><br>
<p>The "Sisters" and other females were expected to make themselves useful by nursing the sick, and offering frequent prayers. They received a farthing per day for clothing, and an extra payment for exceptional acts and duties, such as abstaining from meat for a certain period. The "Brethren," too, were not allowed to be idle; but, when not required at home, were sent to look after the interests of the establishment at its various tenements and farms, as occasion might require.</p><br>
<p>The pauper portion of the community received, besides their food, one farthing every two days. They were, however, allowed to make additions to this munificent sum by engaging in extra employment. Thus one became a gatekeeper, another helped at harvest time to reap corn, a third assisted at some menial work, and at the end of the year was presented with two pairs of shoes.</p><br>
<p>The "Brethren and Sisters" were also to receive the travellers, wayfarers, and pilgrims, on their embarkation and debarkation, or on their journey generally, to wait upon them in the refectory, and to tend them, if sick, in the infirmary. Lepers, however, appear to have been excluded from the latter building, as there was a special leper hospital already in existence, founded by the</p><br>
<p>burgesses, and dedicated to St. Mary Magdalene, where the Marlands Shopping Centre is now situated.</p><br>
<p>Special directions were laid down for religious acts including amongst others the recitation of the Lord&#39;s Prayer by the "Brethren and Sisters" 180 times a day. The Bishop of Winchester was initially made patron of the Hospital, however patronage subsequently passed to the monarch.</p><br>
<h3>Royal grants and protection</h3><br>
<p>Although God&#39;s House was founded a few years before the death of Henry II of England, there is no mention of the Hospital or Grevase le Riche in correspondence relating to that king. However, his successor, Richard I granted lands to the Hospital shortly after its foundation. He then subsequently granted land at Gussage in Dorset to the hospital, including not just the farm but the farmer, Turstinus, and "all his following" ("Turstinus et tota sequela sua") - meaning his family, labourers, stock, agricultural implements, goods, and chattels.</p><br>
<p>Richard also took the Hospital under his protection, with the order:</p><br>
<p>King John made a grant of further lands at Gussage to Gervase le Riche, and made a further declaration of protection:</p><br>
<p>In addition to these royal grants and declarations of protection, William de Redvers, the Earl of Devon from 1196-1216 made a grant of land from "Werrore" near Carisbrooke to "Pukeflunt, Northwde, Medina, and Tintesflun".</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>In 1894 the buildings were described as forming a small quadrangle with a lawn and trees in the centre. On the north side lay the residences of the "sisters" (four under one roof). Exactly opposite, on the south side, was the chapel. The wardens house, on the west, faced the "brothers" residences on the east - the latter being an exact counterpart of those of the "sisters".</p><br>
<p>However in its earlier days the hospital stretched out behind the Wardens House, along the High Street, and up to Gloucester Square, where in ancient times was a friary of Franciscan Minorites, from which the Gods House domain was separated by a mound of earth. Here stood the refectory, the kitchen, and the infirmary buildings. There would also have been a graveyard or cemetery, though no traces of it have been found.</p><br>
<p>The warden&#39;s house was long and narrow with a garden attached. By 1894 it had been converted into two separate dwellings, leased to tenants unconnected with the hospital, and a solid iron railing separated it from the quadrangle.</p><br>
<p>The residences of the brethren and sisters consisted each of one sitting-room, one bedroom, and a small kitchen or scullery, and were described as affording "ample room and a comfortable home for one person". The two residential blocks were identical, with two sets of rooms are on the ground floor an intermediate staircase ascending to the two sets over them. The four Brethren and four Sisters occupied the residences, free of rent, rates, taxes, and repairs. The whole institution was supervised by a chaplain appointed by Queens College, usually one of the clergy of Southampton. The chaplain did not reside at Gods House.</p><br>
<p>In 1894 there was a blocked up Norman doorway exactly opposite the west door of the Chapel, the entrance to some previous large building, whose site was occupied by coal cellars.</p><br>
<h3>Chapel</h3><br>
<p>The Chapel, dedicated to St. Julian, the patron saint of travellers and wayfarers, was rebuilt with the pensioners&#39; residences in 1861. It was restored on the foundations of the old chapel; but a breast-high quatrefoil insertion, in the southwest corner of the old chapel, outside the gate-tower and through which a view of the interior could be obtained without entering it, was not repeated in the restored portion.</p><br>
<p>The Chapel is 60 ft long by about 20 ft wide, lighted by plain Norman windows, having a chancel arch of the Early English Period, as it was verging on to the decorative style of architecture. The reredos and altar that were present in 1894 were placed there with permission of the College by members of the French Protestant congregation, to whom most of the furniture belonged. With one exception, all the tablets were in memory of French pastors, who from the days of the Huguenots had ministered there.</p><br>
<p>A brass fastened to a mahogany slab, about 3 ft long, with a head of alabaster attached, was stated to be the figure of Wallerand Thevelin, one of the French ministers in 1584. However Henry March Gilbert remarked that "the dress points to a much earlier period, and it no doubt represents one of the priests or chaplains of the 13th or 14th century".</p><br>
<p>There is a small head, carved in stone, over the (inside of) west door. The west door was added to the old chapel in 1299, subsequently closed, and was re-opened about in the mid to late 19th century for the better accommodation of the worshippers. Until then there had been only one entrance to the Chapel, on the north side, from the quadrangle.</p><br>
<p>Outside, in the southeast corner of the Quadrangle, there were remains of the old chapel, believed to have been taken from St. Julian&#39;s at its restoration in 1861.</p><br>
<p>Raffles Island is an uninhabited island located approximately 4 km to east of the Sparrebugt bay, Liverpool Land, about 20 km north-east of the town of Ittoqqortoormiit, Greenland in the Scoresby Sund area.</p><br>
<p>Named by William Scoresby Jr. in 1822 as Raffles Island in honour of Revd Thomas Raffles (1788–1863), a prominent independent minister.</p><br>
<p>The alternative native Greenlandic names of Agpalik or Appalik are also in use. It is also known with the Danish names of Raffle Ø or Raffles Ø.</p><br>
<p>The highest point of the island lies at 550m above the sea level. The island hosts a little lake, called Raffles Sø.</p><br>
<p>Its mean temperature is almost always close to 0 degrees Celsius.</p><br>
<p>Gull colonies have been recorded on the island.</p><br>
<p>Tawitawi Island  is a Philippine island in the Sulu Archipelago between the Sulu Sea and Celebes Sea, about 64 km east of Borneo. It is the main island of Tawi-Tawi Province.</p><br>
<p>Tawitawi has an area of 580.5 km&sup2, making it the 20th largest island of the Philippines, and the 3rd largest island in the Sulu Archipelago (after Basilan and Jolo). It has a shoreline length of 152.2 km, and a maximum elevation of 549 m.</p><br>
<p>Tawitawi Island is of volcanic origin and irregular in shape, about 55 km long and between 10 to 23 km wide. It is hilly and heavily wooded, with splashes of white sandy beaches and rock-bound coasts.</p><br>
<p>The island is subdivided into 4 municipalities (Bongao, Languyan, Panglima Sugala, and Tandubas). The inhabitants are mostly Sama people, speaking Sama–Bajaw languages and of Muslim conviction.</p><br>
<p>The Wildmoossee is an aperiodic mountain lake, 3 kilometres west of Seefeld in Tirol near the village of Wildmoos in the market borough of Telfs.</p><br>
<p>The lake lies in the area of the water-soluble main dolomite of the Seefeld Plateau at a height of 1,316 metres. As a result the ground underneath contains chasms that reach up to the bottom of the lake. About every four years, so much groundwater builds up as a result of precipitation and snow meltwater that it is forced upwards out of the chasms under pressure and emerges spring-like at the surface, filling the lake basin. The highest water levels are usually reached in May. In late autumn, the lake empties itself again.</p><br>
<p>This cycle can change due to the variable level of water resulting from variations in precipitation.</p><br>
<p>The same karst landscape related phenomenon occurs at the Lottensee lake, 1.5 kilometres to the southwest.</p><br>

<p>Hoddles Creek is a creek near Melbourne in Victoria, Australia.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The Hoddles Creek is a tributary of the Yarra River. It is located on the northwestern slopes of the Yarra Ranges. Its source is at the southern side of Sale Hill. It flows in a northwestern direction through the small towns of Hoddles Creek and Launching Place, until it reaches the Yarra River. This includes farmland and native vegetation.</p><br>
<h2>Melbourne Water</h2><br>
<p>By the Water Act 1989, it became part of the Upper Yarra Catchment for Melbourne Water, the water system of Melbourne. In other words, some of its water is used for irrigation and drinking water in the city of Melbourne. Moreover, Melbourne Water monitors the flow of the stream at Launching Place, Victoria.</p><br>
<h2>Fishing</h2><br>
<p>The creek may also be used recreationally to angle Brown trout. In a study conducted in 1997, it was home to six species of fish. Since the advent of a fishway at Dights Falls, it has attracted more native fish species, like the Spotted galaxias and the Australian grayling.</p><br>
<p>The Okolona Colored High School Gymnasium is a historic academic athletic building at 767 Layne Street in Okolona, Arkansas. It is the only surviving building of a school campus built c. 1950 to provide schooling to local African-American students. The building is a large rectangular structure with no significant stylistic elements. Its walls are primarily corrugated metal, although a portion of the front and sides near the front are composed of clay tile blocks. The campus it was a part of began in 1928 with a modest two-room school building constructed with supported from the Rosenwald Fund, and grew over the years to include vocational and home economics facilities, in addition to a cafeteria and additional classrooms. The gymnasium was designed to serve as a multi-function athletic facility and meeting space for the local African-American community. The Okolona schools were consolidated with those of neighboring Simmons, and all of the other buildings of this campus were demolished in the 1970s and 1980s.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<p>The Schlicker Seespitze, at, is the highest peak in the Kalkkögel range in Austria&#39;s Stubai Alps, as well as the southwestern cornerstone of the chain. This mountain, known for being extremely prone to landslides, is a good observation point. It is located near the village of Schlick.</p><br>
<p>From Schlick, the mountain appears like a deeply clefted rock massif with a huge southern arête crowned by the rock pinnacles of the Schlicker Manndln. From the other side it resembles a crumbling, gashed peak rising above its scree slopes. The isolated Seejoch tower</p><br>
<p>soars prominently over the Seejöchl saddle.</p><br>
<h2>Ascents</h2><br>
<p>From Seejöchl (reached from the Adolf Pichler Hut or from Schlick) a well-marked grade I climb runs through boulder terrain up to the Seespitzscharte col between the Seespitze and Riepenwand, along the north arête and over it briefly to the summit. Climbers should beware of rockfalls to which they are exposed for the entire route.</p><br>
<p>In addition, there are several Alpine climbing routes of up to grade VII+, of which some were opened by well known Alpinists like Ludwig Purtscheller, Andreas Orgler and Mathias Rebitsch. The crossing from the Schlicker Manndl is popular; this grade IV route runs from the Schlicker Schartl up to the top.</p><br>

<p>Wincopia Farms is a historic farm located at North Laurel, Howard County, Maryland, United States.</p><br>
<p>Wincopia farms was one of three large farms in the area. Overlook Farm and Fairlands remain well preserved, but the 124 acre Wincopia Farms was purchased for development. The Hearn family operated the farm for over 200 years. They raised Poinsettias with customers that included the White House and Kennedy Center.</p><br>
<p>On 8 September 1992, a man and a teenager attempted a series of failed carjackings starting at the southbound I-95 rest stop on Wincopin property leased by the Hearn Family through the Bolling Brook subdivisions. The men carjacked the vehicle of Dr. Pam Basu and her 22-month-old daughter at a stop at Horsham and Kightsbridge road. Basu attempted to retrieve her daughter, and was dragged to death along Gorman Road, with the carjackers leaving her body entangled at the fenced entrance to Wincopia Farms. As a direct result of the violent incident, the Federal Anti-Car Theft Act of 1992 (FACTA) was created, the first federal carjacking law. The 1992 act, codified at 18 USAC. § 2119, took effect on October 25, 1992.</p><br>
<p>In 1992, the Hearn family took out a $4.5 million high interest loan from Gourley and Gourley LLC secured by the property to overhaul and expand the company greenhouses. By the Great Recession in the United States in 2007, the debt accrued to $10 million. Gourley and Gourley LLC foreclosed on the high interest sustainment loan, liquidating the family inventory and belongings, evicting the Hearn family, and reselling the property for $41 million to build 220 homes on the site. Howard County designated the main access, Gorman road, a scenic road but offered the developer exemptions to reduce setbacks, widen the road, add a tunnel, and cut down the 300-year-old trees that bordered the road.</p><br>
<p>Handoga is located 14 km to the west of Dikhil, Djibouti. During the first excavations in 1970, archaeologists discovered funds stone houses, the walls of a rectangular edifice with orientate recess to Mecca.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>They have also updated shards of ceramics, chipped stone tools and a glass bead. The engravings oldest discovered to date are from the fourth or third millennium BC In the pre-Islamic period, the most famous is the site of Handoga there where the ruins of a village squares subcircular dry stone delivered different objects. An old settlement, Handoga is the site of numerous ancient ruins and buildings, many of obscure origins. Including ceramic shards matching vases used brazier, or containers that can hold water, several choppers and microliths, blades, drills, trenchers basalt, rhyolite or obsidian. A team of archaeologists discover an elephant date of 1.6 million years near the area. Also a pearl orange coralline, three glass paste, etc. No trace of metal object.</p><br>

<p>Mount Pleasant Collegiate Institute Historic District is a national historic district located at Mount Pleasant, Cabarrus County, North Carolina. The district encompasses six contributing buildings associated with the Mount Pleasant Collegiate Institute, also known as Western Carolina Male Academy and North Carolina College. They are the three story brick Main Building ; Greek Revival style President&#39;s House; Matthias Barrier house; Society Hall; the Boarding House ; and the New Building . The Western Carolina Male Academy was established in 1852 by the North Carolina Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America. The institute closed in 1933 after which, in 1941, the property was put up to auction. The Lentz Hotel was moved inside the district boundaries in 1980.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>The Lentz Hotel, erected in 1853 and moved from its original site at the center of Mt. Pleasant in 1980, is the oldest commercial building in Cabarrus County, North Carolina. The board-and-batten exterior is supported by a timber frame of chestnut and reflects the “bracketed mode” of construction, made popular by American architect Andrew Downing Jackson . This “Carpenter Gothic” style includes brackets under especially wide eaves, vertical board-and-batten sheathing, and heavy lentels over the windows. The seven mantels and the staircase are of the Greek Revival tradition. The exterior siding is cypress, interior walls are pine, and the floors are made of heart pine planks. Built by W. R. Scott, the property  was sold to John Lentz in 1863 for the sum of $1,350 in Confederate currency. The Lentz family operated the Hotel for over sixty years, spanning three generations. In 1911, an outside set of stairs was added so the upstairs rooms could be used by the female students of Mont Ameona Seminary after the school burned .</p><br>
<p>The Lentz Hotel was the social center of Mt. Pleasant during the last quarter of the nineteenth century and the first part of the twentieth century. In fact, it was “famous for parties and social events”. Much of the Hotel’s prosperity came from the town’s dual role as a trading and educational center. The Hotel was sold outside the Lentz family in 1926, where it changed hands several times. Over the years, the Hotel served as a tenant house, with the condition of the house gradually deteriorating. Early in 1980, the building was slated to be demolished, to make room for a new building on the existing lot, which was on the town square. Mt. Pleasant Insurance Company, working with preservationists, looked at other options. The Historic Preservation Fund of North Carolina, assisted by the Daniel J. Stowe Foundation, moved the building to its current location on College Street, where it was restored to its original prominence by master craftsmen and renovators. The Lentz Hotel was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>The Lentz Hotel is now a private residence, owned by Sam and Resa Treadaway.</p><br>
<p>The Oak Grove Cemetery is an historic cemetery on Jones Road in Falmouth, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<h2>Overview</h2><br>
<p>The private cemetery was established in 1849 with the initial purchase of 5 acre of land fronting on Palmer Road. This original section of the cemetery was laid out in the then-popular rural cemetery style, with winding lanes. The cemetery was enlarged in 1886, 1939, and 1952, with the 1939 purchase including the section facing Jones Road that now serves as its main entrance. Its Colonial Revival chapel was built in 1935 with funding by a bequest of Elizabeth G. Parke. The cemetery is the burying ground for many of Falmouths most important citizens, including most of its veterans (including those from the American Revolutionary War and the War of 1812 which were relocated from family cemeteries), and ship captains who were the towns leading citizens in the 19th century. One of its most famous burials is that of Katharine Lee Bates, author of "America The Beautiful".</p><br>
<p>The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<p>The Cross and Nelson Hall Historic District encompasses two historic buildings on the campus of Southern Arkansas University in Magnolia, Arkansas. Cross Hall and Nelson Hall were both built in 1936 by the Public Works Administration  as dormitories for boys and girls, respectively. They are two-story L-shaped brick buildings with Colonial Revival and Collegiate Gothic stylistic elements. Cross Hall has since been converted into classrooms and professors&#39; offices; Nelson Hall now houses student services and the admissions office.</p><br>
<p>The two buildings were listed as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010. They are the best-preserved of a small number of surviving PWA buildings in Magnolia.</p><br>
<p>The Dolph Camp, Bussey and Peace Halls Historic District encompasses three historic buildings on the campus of Southern Arkansas University in Magnolia, Arkansas. Dolph Camp, Bussey Hall, and Peace Hall are brick buildings constructed between 1949 and 1957, and are well-preserved local examples of academic Colonial Revival architecture. All three buildings were designed by Wittenberg, Delony and Davidson. The buildings were listed as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<h2>Bussey Hall</h2><br>
<p>Bussey Hall is a three-story brick structure built in 1949-50 as a girls dormitory, a function it still performs today. It is roughly U-shaped, with a main entrance sheltered by a three-story portico with triangular gable pediment supported by round columns. It is named for Mrs. Carol Bussey, the school dietitian and dining hall director 1913-56.</p><br>
<h2>Peace Hall</h2><br>
<p>Peace Hall is a two-story brick structure built in 1951, originally serving as the university library. It has a hipped roof pierced by round-arch dormers, and a main entrance which is similar to that of Bussey Hall, although it is only two stories in height. It is named for Dr. James Peace, an English professor and librarian early in the school&#39;s history. The building was renovated in 1975 and converted to offices and classrooms, first for the business school, and more recently the Department of Behavioral and Social Sciences.</p><br>
<h2>Dolph Camp</h2><br>
<p>Dolph Camp is a two-story brick structure built in 1957 to house the schools music department. Its main entrance is sheltered by a single-story portico supported by six columns. The triangular pediment has an elliptical window. It was extensively renovated in 2001, and now houses the universitys information technology services department. It is named in honor of Dr. Dolph Camp, the university president at the time of its construction.</p><br>
<p>The Cistern of the Hebdomon , known in Turkish as Fildamı Sarnıcı , is a Byzantine open sky water reservoir built in the quarter of the Hebdomon , an outskirt of Constantinople.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The cistern is located in Istanbul, in the district of Bakirköy, in the mahalle of Osmaniye, between Fildamı Arkası and Çoban çeşme Sokak, to the northwest of the Veli Efendi horse race track. Topographically, it lies about 2 km west of the Golden Gate of the Walls of Constantinople, in the western part of a small valley &ndash; now completely built up &ndash; which runs southwards to the Marmara sea.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The date of construction of this cistern, which lay in the outskirts of the Hebdomon (grc, "the Seventh", so called because of its location seven Roman miles from the Milion, the mile-marker monument of Constantinople), is uncertain, but can be placed from the fifth-sixth centuries to the eighth century. lay in the valley of Veli Efendi, where now Istanbul&#39;s horse race track is placed.</p><br>
<p>After the Fall of Constantinople in 1453, the empty reservoir was used by the Ottomans as a stable for the Sultans elephants, whence its Turkish names Filhane or Fildamı, meaning house or repair of the elephants. Afterwards, it was used as vegetable garden, becoming one of Istanbuls four Çukurbostan ("hollow garden") still extant, By 2003, it had become clear that the vibrations of the music were damaging the walls and disturbing the horses in the nearby race track, and the concerts ceased. Since then, the structure &ndash; administered by the belediye of Bakırköy &ndash; has been sporadically used to host meetings.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The cistern has a rectangular plan with sides 127 m long and 76 m wide, and covers an area of about 9,600 m&sup2;. The same pattern was also used to build the cisterns of Aetius, of Aspar and of Mocius inside the walled city of Costantinople. The outer western wall is buried in the hill, while the inner western wall and the outer eastern wall are reinforced with a series of nineteen semicircular projecting niches which create two buttresses, necessary to withstand the weight of the hill. The tower has a double shell structure, with a spiral staircase in the centre, separated from the outside by a casing containing the water flowing from an inflow placed at the bottom of the tower. Several outflow channels distributed the reservoir water in different directions. It is unknown whether the cistern, which lies at a low altitude, was supplied with water coming from the nearby springs, and whether this was sufficient to fill it, or whether the water came from an artificial channel from the Thracian hinterland.</p><br>
<p>In the same small valley where the cistern lies, and to its west, there are three smaller elliptic open cisterns, aligned from north to south. The central one is destroyed, while the other two, still extant, are named Domuzdamı ("Repair of the pigs"), since they were used as stables for animals.</p><br>
<p>The Erlspitze, at, is the highest mountain of the range to which it gives its name in the southeastern corner of the Karwendel Alps. Its pyramid-shaped summit makes it a good observation peak north of the Erl Saddle and the Solsteinhaus mountain hut.</p><br>
<h2>Ascents</h2><br>
<p>The normal route runs from the Solsteinhaus along the south arête on a waymarked path (with several sections protected by cable) to the summit (ca. 1.5 hours).</p><br>
<p>The "Zirler Klettersteig"runs along the Eppzirler Scharte and the west arête (ca. 2-2.5 hours from the Solsteinhaus; the col can also be reached from the Eppzirler Alm to the north). This requires sure-footedness and a head for heights and was renovated and made more interesting in 2007; the cable being led out of the rock crevices. Klettersteig equipment and helmets are recommended. Its difficulty is assessed as between A and B according to the signage. Shortly before the summit is a short section at grade D, which can be circumnavigated, however, without loss of time.</p><br>
<h2>Tourism</h2><br>
<p>From 1886 to 1890, the Innsbruck doctor and poet, August Lieber, together with his son, Fraja Lieber, climbed nearly all the summits in the Nordkette and Erlspitze Group. For many peaks in the latter group, including the Erlspitze, these were the first known tourist ascents.</p><br>
<p>Val Vogna  is a lateral valley of Valsesia, inside the municipality of Riva Valdobbia, Italy.</p><br>
<p>West of Riva Valdobbia town, opens the Val Vogna, a side valley just in part served by paved road, on the old so-called Antica via d&#39;Aosta “ancient Aosta Track”, that united Riva Valdobbia to Gressoney-Saint-Jean through the colle di Valdobbia, the Valdobbia Pass.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Val Vogna opens west of Riva Valdobbia as a tributary of the Sesia Valley, with Val d&#39;Otro north and Valle Artogna south.</p><br>
<p>The general direction of the valley is East to West, with a slight moonshaped round turn pointing southwest at the end.</p><br>
<p>There is only one notable tributary to the Vogna torrent, the Rissuolo torrent from Corno Bianco peak: the Rissuolo torrent make a sharp cut in the middle of the north slope and reached the main valley just west of La Peccia Hamlet, passing under the so-called Napoleonic Bridge.</p><br>
<p>Val Vogna was an emigration route, connecting Valsesia and Val d&#39;Aosta through the colle Valdobbia pass (2480 m.).</p><br>
<p>The Antica via d&#39;Aosta, latter renamed via Regia (Royal path), follows the Vogna Valley up to the Napoleonic Bridge: here, the track left the main valley and climbed on the west bulkhead of the Rissuolo torrent valley, up to La Montata Hamlet (m. 1739) and then inside up to Colle Valdobbia and its Ospizio Sottile mountain hut.</p><br>
<p>On the pass, the rifugio Ospizio Sottile was built in the 19th century to give shelter to the people moving in and out the valley.</p><br>
<p>The “Aosta Track” was a major emigration route for most of the Sesia Valley people going for seasonal works abroad, mostly in France. The Sesia Valley goes basically eastward from the Monte Rosa to Varallo and the plains, so it was much shorter to pass the mountains in this relative safe spot.</p><br>
<p>As the migrations period were early in spring and late in the autumn, accidents due to bad weather and avalanches were frequent. A small provisonary hut was built, then the more substanzial Ospizio in stone was built and dedicated to the canonic Nicolao Sottile, a priest that worked hard to find the money and volunteers for the building.</p><br>
<p>Today, the Ospizio Sottile is a common travelling point for hikers and mountaneers.</p><br>
<h2>Roads</h2><br>
<p>The valley has a paved road that started near Riva Valdobbias cemetery and goes up with few hairpin turns to the frazione (hamlet) Cà di Janzo and then gently uphill to SantAntonio Hamlet, obliterating the old tracks.</p><br>
<p>From Sant&#39;Antonio school house (now a restaurant and mountain hut in the GTA ruote): a dirt road goes up to just under La Peccia hamlet, but its use on offroad vehicles is restricted to farmers and local inhabitants.</p><br>
<h3>Paths and hikes</h3><br>
<p>Val Vogna offered many hikes.</p><br>
<p>The emigration route, connecting Valsesia and Val dAosta is the Antica via dAosta, later renamed via Regia (Royal path): This track is identified as No.201 by Club Alpino Italiano, with a black 1 on a red/yellow/red triparted marking on stones and trees.</p><br>
<p>The track 1a variant leaves the main one after La Montata and head west on the woods on a short track to the Alpe Larecchio a former mountain lake basin, now a pasture land of marshes and grassfields, where a small nucleus of few houses is still in use to make Toma cheese.</p><br>
<p>Track 1c gets a different route, from Alpe Larecchio to the west, up to Lago della Balma lake and then east on the peaks to reach the Colle Valdobbia</p><br>
<p>De Saussure followed the entire valley on his Great Tour of the Alpes: the GTA (or no.205 path) continued gently uphill from the Napoleonic Bridge following Vogna Torrent up to Alpe Maccagno another ancient pasture land at 2188m with few stone houses: this was the place of the original Toma del Maccagno cheese, while nowadays the name is in use by many producers, mostly on the Biella area that lay behind Passo del Maccagno Pass.</p><br>
<p>The CAI No.202 path (bold 2 on red/yellow/red) that leaves the dirt road midway between Sant&#39;Antonio and La Peccia Hamlet to head up the east bank of the Rissuolo valley to Alpe Pile where the Rifugio Abate Carestia mountain hut is located and then up to Lago Bianco and Lago Nero (White and Black Lake) or the Corno Bianco, 3320 m., the highest peak in the Vogna valley in ma maze of sub-tracks</p><br>
<p>No.211 track gets to Corno Bianco in a more direct way, while No.210 starts from the lower hamlet of Ca di&#39; Janzo, on the paved road, and climbs directly to Selveglio Hamlet and then the Cima Mutta peak 2135, the north bulkhead of the Vogna Valley overlooking Riva Valdobbia.</p><br>
<h3>The frazioni Alte or Via della Fede ring</h3><br>
<p>The above-mentioned tracks were mostly for experienced or dedicated hikers. A less strenuous but more intetesting walk is the so-called giro delle Frazioni Alte, the Higher Hamlets ring.</p><br>
<p>This ring is also marked as Via della Fede (Faith path) or "via dell&#39;Arte" by separate organizations, making some confusion in signs and names.</p><br>
<p>Basically, the tour touched all the Hamlets of the lower Vogna valley, in an in-depth exploration of how Walser lived up to the 19th century.</p><br>
<p>Each Hamlet is a self-sufficient nucleus, with a fountain, a community oven and a small chapel: but they are few hundred meters away one from the others creating a larger sparse community.</p><br>
<p>The ring has somehow a fixed route: its basically a triangle, with the lower road (the above-mentioned No.1 track) from Ca di Janzo and the higher path from Selveglio converging on La Peccia.</p><br>
<p>The steep slope between the two paths doesnt allow to easily connect the lower and the higher Hamlets, except for the SantAntonio-Rabernardo shortcut.</p><br>
<p>So the usual way is to leave the car at Ca di Janzo and climb into the no. 10 track heading to Selveglio/Cima Mutta.</p><br>
<p>Reached the Selveglio Hamlet, follow the track going west (left): without much change in altitude, that plain track will lead to Oro, Ca&#39; Vescovo, Rabernardo, Cambiaveto, Piane and finally La Peccia hamlets.</p><br>
<p>Then, going downhill on the dirt road, the ring will touch the lower hamlets of SantAntonio, CaVerno, CaMorca, Ca Piacentino and back to Ca&#39; di Janzo</p><br>
<p>The Canute Service Station is a historic service station located along former USA Route 66 in Canute, Oklahoma. The service station was built in two sections; the western section opened in 1936 as a roadhouse, while the service station itself was added in 1939.

<p>The Porter-Bell-Brackley Estate is a historic house on Lower Main Street in Strong, Maine, a small town in rural Franklin County. Built in 1866, it is a remarkably sophisticated example of Italianate architecture, and one of the finest examples of such in the state. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The house is a clapboarded wood frame structure, two stories high, resting on a granite foundation. It has a hip roof which is topped by a square cupola. A two-story ell extends to the rear of the house, joining it to a carriage house. The main facade is three bays wide, with a central entry sheltered by an ornately decorated Doric-columned portico. The eaves are studded with dentil molding and brackets, and the corners of the building are pilastered. The ell is lined on both sides with porches. The carriage house is roughly square, with a pyramidal roof and a small cupola that is less elaborate than that on the house.</p><br>
<p>The house was built by Alexander Porter, who, along with his brother James, owned a toothpick factory that was a predecessor to the locally significant Foster Manufacturing Company. This house and another built by James were virtual duplicates; the latter was destroyed by fire in 1971. Porter eventually lost his business and property (supposedly due to "temptations of the flesh"), and the family was forced to sell the property.</p><br>

<p>The Washita County Courthouse, located in Courthouse Square in New Cordell, is the county courthouse serving Washita County, Oklahoma. The Classical Revival courthouse was built in 1910. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 24, 1984.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>When Washita County was established in 1892, an act of Congress designated Cloud Chief as the county seat, and the countys first wood frame courthouse was built there. After the town of Cordell moved to the New Cordell townsite, city leaders petitioned for the county seat to be moved to New Cordell, which had a more central location and a better source of water. An election transferred the county seat to New Cordell in the late 1890s, and the original courthouse building was moved in 1900; after an extended legal battle, Congress legitimized the result of the election in 1904. A new wood frame courthouse was built in 1902; however, this building burned down in 1909. The present courthouse was built the following year. New Cordells business district developed around the courthouse, as the relocation of the county seat was a major economic stimulus for the city.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Solomon Andrew Layton, one of Oklahomas most significant early 20th century architects, and his firm designed the Classical Revival courthouse. The three-story courthouse is topped by a copper dome with clocks on all four sides. The two main entrances, located on the east and west sides, each feature stairways leading to massive porticoes. Each portico has a triangular pediment supported by four Ionic columns. The first floor has a red brick exterior; a white water table separates it from the light brick upper floors. The courthouses roof line features a copper entablature and projecting cornice.</p><br>
<p>The New Cordell Courthouse Square Historic District is a district comprising the historic commercial center of New Cordell, Washita County, Oklahoma. The district grew around the Washita County Courthouse site, which was planned in 1897 when the townsite was laid out. The commercial buildings surrounding the courthouse were mainly built from 1900 to 1925; some newer buildings, including several on First Street, are also part of the district. 80 buildings are included in the district, of which 52 are considered contributing buildings to the district&#39;s historic character. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 7, 1999.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>New Cordell was established in 1897, when the community of Cordell moved to a new townsite. The new townsite included a space for a courthouse square, and the residents of New Cordell soon applied to move the county seat there from Cloud Chief. New Cordell had a more central location and a better water supply than Cloud Chief; partly due to these reasons, an election in the late 1890s resulted in New Cordell winning the county seat, and the courthouse was moved there in 1900. After an extended legal battle, Congress legitimized the result of the election in 1904.</p><br>
<p>The relocation of the courthouse led to significant commercial growth in the courthouse square. The Bes Line Railroad (which later became part of the Frisco Railroad) opened a line through New Cordell in 1902, spurring the citys agricultural economy. Numerous brick commercial buildings were constructed on the courthouse square to house the citys new stores, professional offices, and specialty businesses. The present courthouse, the county&#39;s third, was built in 1910.</p><br>
<h2>Buildings</h2><br>
<p>The Classical Revival courthouse, designed by Solomon Andrew Layton and his firm, is the centerpiece of the district. Major early buildings built on the courthouse square include the city hall, Florence Hospital, an opera house, and three banks. The many other commercial buildings in the district are mostly brick Commercial Style structures. The Mission Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival styles are also present in the district; one prominent example of these styles is the Cordell Carnegie Public Library on First Street. The USA Post Office, Washita County Jail, and New Cordell Fire and Police Station were added to the district in the 1930s and 1940s; all three buildings were Works Progress Administration projects and exhibit Moderne influences.</p><br>
