<p>The Stevenson Historic District is a historic district in Stevenson, Alabama. The town was founded in the 1850s at the junction of the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad  and the Memphis and Charleston Railroad . Named for Vernon King Stevenson, the first president of the Nashville & Chattanooga, the town played a vital role in the Civil War as a Union Army headquarters for operations around Chattanooga, Tennessee. Despite postwar efforts to introduce other industrial development to the town, Stevenson&#39;s growth stayed tied to the railroad. The district contains several houses and commercial buildings, as well as railroad- and military-related structures constructed between the 1850s and the early 20th century. The Greek Revival Cowan-Rudder House on Main Street served as the headquarters of Union General Włodzimierz Krzyżanowski from 1863 until 1865. Many frame commercial buildings were destroyed in a 1911 fire and replaced with brick and masonry structures; one notable building to survive the fire is the Italianate City Hall, built circa 1875 to house the town bank. The Stevenson Railroad Depot and Hotel was built in 1872 as a joint project of the Memphis & Charleston and Nashville & Chattanooga railroads. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>The Callawassie Sugar Works is a historically significant industrial site at 29 Sugar Mill Drive in Okatie, South Carolina, on Callawassie Island in Beaufort County. The site contains the tabby ruins of two structures  and archeological evidence of a third structure . The sugar works, constructed circa 1815-1818, was a complex for processing sugar cane into sugar.</p><br>
<p>Archeological and historical evidence suggests that the Callawassie Sugar Works was part of a larger settlement which included housing for slaves and possibly an overseer&#39;s house. The settlement was mostly constructed soon after 1816 while Callawassie Island was owned by James Hamilton, Jr. The architect/builder of the sugar works is unknown. It is conjectured that the sugar mill was built sometime within the next three years, and based on plans similar to mill construction seen in the West Indies.</p><br>
<p>Research supports that James Hamilton, Jr., (1786-1857) was most likely the developer of the Callawassie Sugar Works (circa 1816). He was the son of Major James Hamilton, an aide to General George Washington in the Revolutionary War, and grandnephew of Thomas Lynch, Jr., a signatory of the Declaration of Independence. He served during the War of 1812. Through marriage, James Hamilton, Jr., was nephew-in-law to South Carolina&#39;s largest and most prosperous rice planter, Nathaniel Heyward, and stepson-in-law to Savannah River investor Nicholas Cruger. These gentlemen shared close familial and professional relationships and entrepreneurial drive to develop and implement new industries such as sugar production. Hamilton had acquired several close and influential West Indian connections who were heavily involved in the Caribbean sugar trade. Hamilton sold the property and moved to Charleston, South Carolina in early 1819, leaving no documentation on the mill and its anticipated use. Apparently, the sugar works were still operational when it was abandoned as ashes were left uncleared from the furnace.</p><br>
<p>The Callawassie Sugar Works&#39; construction appears to be based on observations made by Thomas Spalding. It incorporated three principal components: a mill, boiling house, and curing shed. The footprint of the buildings suggests that the boiling house and curing shed were aligned in a "T" configuration (little remains of the curing shed). The remaining structures include exterior walls of the one-story buildings with the brick boiling train still evident in the mill. Primitive mills of this kind usually had a set of four kettles arranged in a line, the tops of the kettles being raised from the floor.</p><br>
<p>Today, only the foundation of the mill and parts of the boiling house remain of the three structures of the sugar mill: the mill itself, boiling house, and curing shed. There is no evidence (above or below ground) that the tabby cement mill base was ever enclosed within a permanent structure, even though the base survives in excellent condition. While the boiling pans and masonry that supported them have disappeared, the boiling train bed, constructed of fire brick, is still intact, together with an ash pit and wall vents. The long tabby wall on the north side of the boiling house collapsed outward and retained enough integrity to enable theoretical reconstruction of the original layout of windows. Excavation of glass at the site suggests that the windows were glazed. Only tabby strip foundations remain of the curing shed, which was most likely timber framed. All machinery and mechanical equipment is gone. Despite the degradation of the sugar mill site over time, the remnants are still illustrative of sugar processing before the introduction of steam machinery in the late 1830s.</p><br>
<p>The sugar mill ruins on Callawassie Island are featured as a "unique example of industrial tabby" and "the only one of its kind to exist in South Carolina." Tabby, referred to as "poor man&#39;s masonry," is a building substance created by mixing locally available materials (such as oyster shells) with equal parts, water, sand, and lime. The Spanish brought it to the New World before A.D. 1700. Shellfish remains available from aboriginal shell middens provided a plentiful source for tabby construction. Tabby wall construction involved up to six successive pours, each requiring a set of forms or molds. According to the National Park Service, the tabby remaining at the Callawassie Sugar Works "appears to have been well compacted and meticulously cast."</p><br>
<p>The Callawassie Sugar Works is one of the few remaining structures from this early period of sugar production along the Atlantic Coast. Sugar was one of the few agricultural commodities protected by a tariff, which levied three cents per pound duty on foreign raw sugar in 1816. This inspired wealthy planter entrepreneurs of the Georgia and South Carolina coastal areas to explore the viability of a local sugar industry. Despite Hamiltons entrepreneurial hopes and Spaldings professional expertise, the growing conditions in the Low country of South Carolina were not ideally suited for the successful cultivation of sugar cane, which prefers a year-round temperature of 75 degrees Fahrenheit with at least 60 inches of rainfall. The sugar works on Callawassie Island is the only example of such an early enterprise in the South Carolina Low country.</p><br>
<p>The Callawassie Sugar Works was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 27, 2014.</p><br>
<p>The Stevenson Railroad Depot and Hotel are a historic train station and hotel in Stevenson, Alabama. They were built circa 1872 as a joint project of the Memphis and Charleston Railroad and the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad, whose lines converged in Stevenson. When the Memphis & Charleston was purchased by the Southern Railway in 1898, the Louisville and Nashville Railroad  took sole control of the depot and operated it until 1976. It was converted into a history museum in 1982. Both buildings are brick with gable roofs and Italianate details. The depot has a central, second-story tower that was added in 1887. The three-story hotel had a lobby, dining room, and kitchen on the first floor and eight large guest rooms on the upper floors. The buildings were listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage in 1975 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>The building is now operated as the Stevenson Railroad Depot Museum and features area railroad and Civil War artifacts.</p><br>
<p>The Spring Hill Farm is a historic slave plantation located in Ellicott City in Howard County, Maryland, United States.</p><br>
<p>The site south of the Patapsco River produced Native American arrowheads in routine farming. The farm is part of a 1695 900 acre land patent named "Chews Resolution Manor". The property was a gift of Caleb Dorsey of Belmont to his daughter Rebbecca and her husband Charles Ridgely creating the parcel "Rebbecca&#39;s Lot". The main house was built about 1804. The property contains the Spring Hill quarters, a stone structure dating to 1790 built originally as a home for Edward Hill Dorsey. The structure has served as slave quarters, a carriage house with modern remodeling of the interior in the 1950s.</p><br>
<p>The farm was later owned by the Clark family who also resided to the south at Fairfield Farm. Owner Garnett "Booker" Clark used the outbuildings to make and store whiskey during prohibition. Garnett&#39;s brother James "Booker" Clark maintained his credibility as a revenue officer by destroying the operation. About ten outbuildings of the farm are identified in 1790 tax rolls. By the 1970s the farm had been subdivided down to two parcels totaling 11 acres, with a large power-line easement and the New Cut Landfill facility occupying the northern tracts.</p><br>
<p>In the year 2000, Glen Mar Church purchased 21 acres of the farmland from the Baugher family with an address of 4701 New Cut Road. In 2004 groundbreaking occurred and in 2008 the church relocated to the site from Glen Mar Road.</p><br>

This block is flanked by symmetrical wings, except for the southern facade, where a secondary entrance is flanked by Ionic pilasters. It is the county&#39;s third courthouse; the first was a log structure built in 1872, and the second was built in 1880 after the first burned down.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. The building is now used as the Swain County Heritage Museum.</p><br>
<p>Mosqueiro is an island near the south bank of the Pará River in the Brazilian state of Pará, roughly 67 km north of downtown Belém. The northwest coast of the island comprises an administrative district of the city of Belém. The island has 17 km of beaches with freshwater tides, which draw vacationers primarily in the dry season. The largest settlement on the island is the town of Vila  toward the southern end of the northwestern shore.</p><br>
<h2>Origin of the name</h2><br>
<p>Scholars have attributed the name Mosqueiro to a corruption of the native Tupinambá word moqueio, which referred to the local practice of smoking meat and fish. In the early period of Portuguese colonization, the Tupinambá supplied smoked meat and fish to the city of Belém. The Portuguese, unfamiliar with the term moqueio, called the island Mosqueiro, which was the name of several places on the Iberian Peninsula. In Portuguese, the word mosqueiro means "flypaper".</p><br>
<h2>Climate</h2><br>
<p>The island has a tropical climate, with an average temperature of 27 &deg;C. The rainy season peaks in March, while the dry season peaks in November.</p><br>
<h2>Landmarks</h2><br>
<h3>Chapéu Virado</h3><br>
<p>The Chapéu Virado is located on the plaza bearing its name, at the intersection of avenues 16 de Novembro and Beira Mar. It was originally a modest inn and restaurant of wood construction, dating from the heyday of the rubber plantation industry in the late nineteenth to early twentieth centuries. The hotel was constructed in a mix of European architectural styles, with allowances for the local climate. After the original structure was destroyed by fire, the mayor of Belém and the governor of Pará provided funding for its reconstruction.</p><br>
<h3>Capelinha do Sagrado Coração de Jesus (Chapel of the Sacred Heart of Jesus)</h3><br>
<p>The Capelinha do Sagrado Coração de Jesus, located on the plaza Chapéu Virado, was constructed by Guilherme Augusto de Miranda Filho in fulfillment of a promise he made to God while ill on the island, in exchange for the return of his health. The chapel was dedicated on December 17, 1909 by the acting archbishop of Belém. On the second Sunday in December, the chapel holds a special observation for the patron saint of the people of Mosqueiro.</p><br>
<h3>Villa Porto Franco</h3><br>
<p>Located on the plaza Chapéu Virado, the neoclassical Villa Porto Franco was once home to Portuguese artist José Franco.</p><br>
<h3>Sebastião Rabelo de Oliveira Bridge</h3><br>
<p>The Sebastião Rabelo de Oliveira Bridge, at a length of 1,430 m, connects Mosqueiro with the mainland. The bridge was inaugurated on January 12, 1976, with Brazilian president Ernesto Geisel in attendance.</p><br>
<h3>Parque Municipal da Ilha de Mosqueiro (Mosqueiro Island Municipal Park)</h3><br>
<p>Since 1988, 190 hectare of the island have been set aside as a municipal park by the city of Belém, which is seeking to promote ecotourism. The park includes 3 km of trails. The Brazilian Ministry of the Environment has approved an investment of R$200,000 (approximately US$90,000 ) in physical infrastructure, including a pier, administrative building, and research center.</p><br>
<h2>Wildlife</h2><br>
<p>In June 2011, an amphibian identified as belonging to the species Atretochoana eiselti was photographed near Praia de Marahú, on the island of Mosqueiro. A. eiselti, previously known only from two preserved specimens dating from the late 1800s, is the largest known lungless tetrapod.</p><br>
<p>The H. Chandler and Alice B. Egan House is a historic house in Medford, Oregon, United States. Champion golfer and noted golf course architect Chandler Egan  designed it in the Arts and Crafts style soon after he relocated from Chicago to Medford during a temporary lull in his golf career. His involvement in golf course design grew naturally out of the fact that he was one of the few golf experts in the Pacific Northwest in that period. Through his personal celebrity and the spread of new courses, he played a pivotal role in the development of golf in Oregon and the region. Built in 1911 during Medford&#39;s "Orchard Boom", the house served both as family residence and headquarters for the surrounding Egan orchard venture. It subsequently underwent several stages of development and alteration during the Egan residency.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<p>Ruthin Town Hall is a Victorian building in Market Street, Ruthin, Denbighshire, which was Grade II Listed by Cadw on 12 April 1973 .</p><br>
<p>The original town hall was located on St Peter&#39;s Square, built in 1663 from stones taken from the ruined chancel of St Peter’s Church. The building was demolished in 1863. The Corporation (council) met over the market hall approx where Peers Memorial Clock located, with magistrates sharing the same upper level and market traders using the ground floor. The demolition of the Bull Inn on top of Market Street enabled access form the square to the railway station. Ruthin became a designated County town for Denbighshire in 1907. The status was granted under the Act of Union during the reign of Henry VIII. Meetings of the Court of Quarter Sessions were held in the town as were those of Great Sessions. From 1775 Ruthin housed the county gaol, and in the nineteenth century clerks of the peace administered the county from their solicitors offices in the town. The status of a county town was lost in 1974 under local government reorganisation.</p><br>
<h2>Ruthin Fire Brigade</h2><br>
<p>Originally formed in 1841, the fire engines (which were drawn by donkeys or ponies) were stationed at the new town hall in 1869, soon after it was built. In 1926 it became one of the first brigades in North Wales to have a motorised engine. The brigade is now stationed in Park Road.</p><br>
<p>Siop Nain is a Grade II Listed Building situated near the center of Ruthin, Denbighshire and dates back to 1490. From 1850 Isaac Clarke used a building at the back, as a print shop, which is most notable for printing of the National Anthem of Wales: Hen Wlad fy Nhadau. In about 1850 he set up his own business at 6 Well St, Ruthin. "Siop Nain" is also known as 6 Well Street.</p><br>
<p>It has been listed:...for its special architectural interest as a sub-medieval timber-framed building retaining early character and detail, with some good C17 and C19 detail. The printing of the Welsh National Anthem here is of additional historic interest. Group value with surrounding listed buildings in Well Street.</p><br>
<p>It is now half a licensed restaurant, and half a card and gift shop selling English and Welsh language gifts and cards.</p><br>
<p>The Print Works is now available to stay in, as a holiday cottage www.ruthinretreat.co.uk</p><br>
<p>The Old Court House, Ruthin, Denbighshire, North Wales was built in 1421 and is a Grade II* Listed Building . It is now the National Westminster Bank and is notable for being the first building to be attacked at the outset of Owain Glyndŵrs revolt on 6 September 1400. The previous building on the site of the old court house was an establishment owned by the de Greys which made it a prime target for Owain Glyndwr in his 1400 sacking of Ruthin. The court house served until 1663 when the town hall was built on the square.</p><br>
<p>The current building replaced the destroyed building and was the local administrative centre, court, and gaol. Visible within are fine old roof timbers, and on the north-west outside corner is the stump of a gallows beam. The courthouse and cells remained in use from 1420 to 1785 when the new shire hall was built eventually becoming a county court in 1860. Between 1785 and 1860 the police station was housed in Ruthin Gaol. Ruthin could claim to be a county town under the Acts of Union passed during the reign of Henry VIII, with the appropriate meetings of the Court Quarter Sessions and the Great Sessions (or assizes) being held in the town. Ruthin&#39;s claim to be a county town was secured with the building of Denbighshire County Council offices however this status was lost under the local government reorganisation in 1974.</p><br>
<p>The old court house was in commercial use during the 18th century: in 1741 a petition was raised by butchers of the town and given to the owner Richard Myddleton complaining their meat was exposed to all elements of weather. This resulted in the building of “the shambles” a lean-to on the north face of the building (Welsh: “Pendist”) a two storey construction, photos show 3 dormer windows set into the roof.The butchers earned extra income by offering grandstand seating on the roof for views of the bear baiting which took place on the Square.</p><br>
<p>The Old Mill, Ruthin, Denbighshire, North Wales was designated Grade II listed building on the 24 October 1950; the mill probably dates from around 1300. The Warden of Ruthin, the early 19th century, Archdeacon Newcome, noted that the building had been used as a garrison chapel. There are two early English pointed arches and one gable end has a blocked lancet window, with a sunken cross above. The watermill was removed from the mill during the 1950s and Mill St runs to the side of the old mill.</p><br>
<h2>River Clwyd</h2><br>
<p>Power for the mill came from the River Clwyd which runs nearby. The river also serviced the woollen and leather industries in Borthyn and Mwrog St. The car park at Cae Ddôl is known locally as Crispin Yard, named after the patron saint of shoe makers St Crispin reflecting the leather industry that thrived in the area. The river was bridged by a water gate there is no evidence when this was demolished. Today a road bridge, known as Pont Howkin crosses the river; it was originally built in 1771 and formerly known as Pont Newydd.</p><br>
<p>Alagalla Mountain Range or "Potato Range" is situated at the boundaries of the Central and Sabaragamuwa Provinces in Sri Lanka. It has protected Buddhism and  culture from the western powerful nations such as the Portuguese, Dutch and English for approximately five centuries as a natural barrier .</p><br>
<p>Most of the battles against invasions aimed at the Kandyan Kingdom by the western nations from time to time in their ruling period of maritime provinces happened at the Alagalla Mountains. Invading foreign armies were defeated by the battles at Balana (View Point) under the reign of Kandyan Kings. Balana fort was the main fortress established to protect the Sinhalese Kingdom from foreign powers, and is situated between Kadugannawa pass and Potato Range. When the English established themselves in Kandy, they started tea and coffee plantations in the area of the Colombo-Kandy railway line, which has cut through tunnels in the mountains.</p><br>
<p>After a train ride from Colombo or Kandy trekking can be started at Ihalakotte railway station passing a mysterious climb through the Ihalakotte village. On the walk up leads a small foot path which branches off downwards through the jungle on the left. There is a 6 m high waterfall (Dekinda Ella) served by the Alagalla forest reserve, which is hidden in the jungle. The summit of the Potato Range is a platform to witness the view of the other surrounding mountains, including Bathalegala (Bible Rock), Devanagala, Ambuluwawa, Knuckles Mountain Range and Hanthana Mountain Range.</p><br>
<p>The Bank Street–Old Decatur Historic District is a historic district in Decatur, Alabama. The district encompasses the original commercial and residential portion of Decatur along the Tennessee River. In 1832, Decatur was selected over the larger Huntsville as the site of the northern branch of the state bank. Bank Street became the commercial hub of the town, as it was the only place in the Tennessee Valley were riverboat, wagon, and rail transportation converged. Due to its strategic location, the town suffered heavy damage in the Civil War; the Todd House on Lafayette Street is one of only four buildings in Decatur to survive the war . As the town was rebuilding from the war, a fire in 1877 destroyed most of the buildings along Bank Street. The rebuilt structures were all of brick, and represent Italianate, Victorian, and Commercial styles popular from the late 19th to the early 20th centuries. Houses in the district are primarily modest, and styles include vernacular Victorian, Shingle-style, and Craftsman bungalows.</p><br>
<p>The portion along Bank Street was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, while the remainder, including all of the residential portion, was added to the district in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Vestiges  of the Gallo-Roman wall are the remains of a fortification, constructed in Grenoble, France  at the end of the 3rd century, under the reign of the Emperors Diocletian and Maximian. The status of Civitas marked the city of Cularo as an administrative capital of the Roman Empire. The Gallo-Roman wall was 1,150 meters in length, and had 39 semi-circular watchtowers which were 7.5 meters in diameter. It had two monumental gates decorated by inscriptions identifying the two Roman emperors. The Gallo-Roman wall played an important role in the protection of the 9-hectare urban surface of the Roman settlement. It served as a symbol of the status of Civitas. The wall was built up of small limestone blocks and was covered with plaster. Some parts of the wall were 4 meters thick and made up of limestone, pebble and tuileau rubble. These materials were held together by mortar.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>This defensive construction was between four and five meters thick. The two doors of the surrounding wall were built on stone blocks reused from previous buildings such as funerary monuments. Close to the foundation of the Viennoise door, inscriptions can be found on the stones, which attributes them to earlier funerary monuments. Vertically planted wooden stakes served as foundation for the construction. Every side of the wall was formed by a regular setting of rubble-stone. Inside, the blockage was composed of diverse materials, and covered in whitewash mortar.</p><br>
<p>The initial height of the wall was approximately nine meters. The total length of the wall was close to 1200 meters, set up in the shape of an oval. This defensive structure had a ditch that was full of water, which linked it to the Isère (river) to form a protective moat.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Prior to the construction of the wall in the end of the 3rd century AD, the Gallic city of Cularo (Grenoble) was surrounded by a fence and a ditch.</p><br>
<p>During the Roman Peace (Pax Romana) period (27 BC to 180 AD), the walls were not guarded.</p><br>
<p>In the 3rd century, the city was weakened by the invasion of barbarians, so the Gallo-romans built a surrounding wall, under the rule of the Emperor Diocletian. The wall surrounding Cularo covered 9 hectares of land and had two main gates. At the time, the city had an approximate population of 2000 inhabitants. Cularo appears on the Tabula Peutingeriana, but in the Latin version of Cularone</p><br>
<p>In 1963 an appreciation of the structure of certain vestiges gained popularity. Nowadays, some traces of this rampart can be found in Grenoble, near the following locations: Hector Berlioz street; Lafayette street; Chenoise street; and, near the Grenoble Cathedral</p><br>
<h2>Later Use</h2><br>
<p>The Vestiges of the Gallo-Roman Wall are a landmark of Roman military heritage, signifying the culture of the Gallo-Romans in the city of Grenoble. Only the stone bonding remains today but the vestiges of one watchtower can be seen at the Musée de l&#39;Ancien Évêché. The rest of the wall was demolished during the many expansion periods of the city, as it was torn down by the inhabitants of the city for building materials and to make space for new developments.</p><br>
<h2>Tourism</h2><br>
<p>Located in the historical center of the city, close to the Grenoble Cathedral, the Musée de l&#39;Ancien Évêché is now home to the main sources of public information on the Vestiges of the Gallo-Roman Wall. These Roman vestiges are classified as historical monuments since 1957.</p><br>
<p>The exhibit can be found at the Musée de l&#39;Ancien Evêché in Grenoble, France.</p><br>
<p>Monte Altissimo di Nago is one of the highest summits of the Monte Baldo mountain range and thereby part of the Garda Mountains in northern Italy.</p><br>
<h2>Morphology</h2><br>
<p>The Altissimo is the highest peak in the northern part of the Monte-Baldo range, which stretches roughly from north to south. Other important peaks in the range are Punta Telegrafo to the south and the highest peak of the range Cima Valdritta. The saddle Bocca di Navene separates the southern part from the northern part.</p><br>
<h2>Alpinism</h2><br>
<p>On top of the Altissimo there is a mountain hut, the Rifugio Damiano Chiesa. The easiest way to reach the top is a hike over a dirt road from Strada Provinciale del Monte Baldo, also a prominent mountain-biking route. The important alpine long-distance hiking Peace Trail (Sentiero della Pace) also leads over the top of the Altissimo.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Besides the mountain hut, there are also leftover military installations from World War I and a chapel for remembrance to the wars victims.</p><br>
<p>Worthington&#39;s Quarters, White Hall, Glen Burnie, Iris Hill, is a historic slave plantation located in Columbia in Howard County, Maryland, United States.</p><br>
<p>The stucco covered brick plantation house resides on a 150 acre land tract "Wincopin Neck" surveyed for Richard and Benjamin Warfield. Richard Warfiled II ( - 1755) hiered the property (called "Warfield&#39;s Contrivance") and house to Alexander Warfield and Elizabeth Ridgely in 1755. Both had opened and operated a Joint Mill in 1750 downstream from the site at Guilford, Maryland. Rezin and Honor (Howard) Warfield lived onsite next. Daughter Anne Warfield and Revolutionary War Major Richard Lawrance settled there next calling the manor "White Hall". Dr. Charles Griffith Worthington purchased the lands and manor, passing it to his son Brice Worthington, and later his nephew Dr. William Henry Worthington (1812-1886). By 1858, five generations of the family were buried in the onsite family graveyard.</p><br>
<p>The site is located along the Middle Patuxent River, which once stood two bridges leading to Laurel. In 1936, the vacant estate was known as the Hegemen House.</p><br>
<p>Cadmus N. Bray House is a historic house located at 229 West Second Street in Siler City, Chatham County, North Carolina. James W. Turner, a local builder, constructed the house, and it remains a nearly unaltered representative of early 20th century architectural preferences in a small North Carolina rail town.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The 2-1/2 story, Queen Anne/Colonial Revival style timber-framed residence was built in 1906 for Siler City businessman and town mayor, Cadmus Bray. It features multiple bay projections covered by a steeply pitched and cross-gabled hipped roof surmounted by a square frame balustrade and a wraparound porch.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 30, 1999.</p><br>
<p>Elkridge Farm, is a historic slave plantation located in Ellicott City in Howard County, Maryland, United States.</p><br>
<p>In 1913, James Booker Clark built a mansion resembling the White House to house seven children. James Booker was the son of James Clark, Jr., a Confederate soldier who went into the livestock and banking trade after the war. Senator James A. Clark, Jr. was a nephew who traveled to the property regularly from Keewaydin Farm, down the unimproved Montgomery Road. The plantation house was destroyed by fire on 2 July 1920, with a cracked water reservoir, at a time when James Booker Clark was facing litigation against his family, Garnett Y Clark, for a failed coal mine project. A Target store in Long Gate shopping center now occupies the site.</p><br>
<p>River Hill Farm is a historic slave plantation located in Clarksville in Howard County, Maryland, United States.</p><br>

It was demolished for the development of Pointers Run.</p><br>
<p>Glass Creek is a waterway flowing through the inner-eastern suburbs of Melbourne. It is a minor tributary of the Yarra River and now largely runs through a series of underground drains.</p><br>
<h2>Etymology</h2><br>
<p>The creek was named after Hugh Glass, a land speculator in the early history of Melbourne, in 1844. It was originally referred to as Glass&#39; Creek but the spelling gradually fell out of use in favour of the present-day Glass Creek.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<h3>Settlements</h3><br>
<p>The creek passes through two eastern suburbs of Melbourne in the City of Boroondara:</p><br>
<p>Kew East</p><br>
<p>Balwyn North</p><br>
<h3>Parklands</h3><br>
<p>Much of the former creek route is now open parkland:</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the early history of Melbourne and during the indigenous settlement of the area, Glass Creek ran at-surface through what was then bushland. William Oswin is the first recorded owner of the land where Hays Paddock and Glass Creek flows into the Yarra on a property known as Kilby Farm.</p><br>
<h3>Route</h3><br>
<p>The original route of the creek originated near Loma Linda Grove in Greythorn, the eastern part of Balwyn North. It flowed through present-day Jacka Street and Gordon Barnard Reserves, crossed Balwyn Road, through Hislop and Macleay/Myrtle Park, through the residential areas roughly following Maylands Avenue, through Stradbroke Park near present-day Kew High School, under High Street and along the present-day Glass Creek Trail before joining up to the current course near the southern entrance to Hays Paddock. Thence it flowed north-west into the Yarra River.</p><br>

The Wall Street Assay Office sits on Four Mile Canyon Dr, now preserved as the James F. Bailey Assay Office Museum.</p><br>
<p>The Wall Street area was home to a variety of metal mining activities in the late 1800s, including a small camp named Delphi. Charles Caryl visited the area in 1889, returned east to raise money, and opened the Gold Extraction Mining and Supply Company in present day Wall Street in 1897. The Assay Office was constructed along with a store and boarding house, a large mill was built in 1901. The operation failed two years later. The assay office was purchased at a sheriff&#39;s sale by James Bailey in 1907. It was used as the office of the Storm King Mine, and later converted into a residence for the Bailey family.</p><br>
<p>The Hartselle Downtown Commercial Historic District is a historic district in Hartselle, Alabama. The town was founded in 1870 when the Louisville and Nashville Railroad was extended south to Birmingham and Mobile. Hartselle quickly grew into a transportation hub for shipping timber and cotton. The town was devastated by two fires, in 1901 which destroyed all commercial buildings east of the railroad tracks, and in 1916 where twenty-one buildings including the passenger and freight depots were destroyed. Only nine buildings  survived the 1916 fire. After an initial building boom from 1916 through 1920, development slowed due to low farming prices after World War I and the Great Depression. Notable structures in the district are the hip roofed L&N passenger depot and two-story freight depot and the Colonial Revival post office . Of the commercial buildings, 51 are one story, 14 are two stories, and 1 is three stories. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>The Alderney Race is a strait that runs between Alderney and Cap de la Hague, a cape at the northwestern tip of the Cotentin peninsula in Normandy. A strong current runs through the race north of the Passage de la Déroute, a treacherous passage separating the Cotentin from the Channel Islands. The current is intermittent, varying with the tide, and can run up to about twelve knots during equinoctial tides. The French call it Raz Blanchard. In Norman French it is called L&#39;Raz.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The Alderney Race is eight nautical miles across and located roughly between Alderney, in the Bailiwick of Guernsey, and La Hague, France. It constitutes the northeastern limit of the Gulf of Saint-Malo.</p><br>
<h2>Sea conditions</h2><br>
<p>When the wind and the race current flow in opposite directions, the sea becomes particularly chaotic: wave heights can reach four metres and have wavelengths smaller than 50 metres. The waves break with violence, thus making shipping conditions particularly dangerous. On the contrary, when the wind and the stream flow in the same direction, the sea becomes calm, provided that the tidal coefficient is not too great.</p><br>
<p>The uneven seabed – both Alderney and La Hague lie in the Armorican Massif – makes the situation more complicated. Poor weather conditions can produce abundant wind-blown foam, making visibility poor. During good weather conditions, opposing wind and currents can cause breaking waves, especially at Banc de la Schôle and at Longis Bay in Alderney.</p><br>
<h2>Hydrology</h2><br>
<p>The power of the current comes from the narrowness of the strait and from the fact that there is a two-metre tidal height difference between Carteret and La Hague as well as between la Hague and Cherbourg.</p><br>
<h2>Tidal power</h2><br>
<p>Because of the enormous potential it sees in tidal power, the French government plans to use tidal turbines to tap the energy of the Race.</p><br>
<p>Benson Island, known to the Tseshaht First Nation people as Cisaa  or Tsishaa , is part of the Broken Group in Barkley Sound on the west coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. It is notable because the Tseshaht First Nation recognize it as the creation site where the first man and first woman of the Tseshaht people came into this world.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Benson is a small, irregularly shaped island on the northwestern edge of the Broken Group. It covers about 43 acre and is about.5 mile at its longest points from north to south. The shoreline is mostly very rugged, with two rock beaches on the northeast and southeast sides of the island. The northeast beach is the site of a former Tseshaht village, and there is a large cultural shell midden extending approximately 985 ft along the shoreline. There is a small blowhole on the west side that is active mostly during high tides.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Tseshaht people</h3><br>
<p>The oral history of the Tseshaht people, part of the Nuu-Chah-Nulth culture of western British Columbia, identifies Tsishaa (Cisaa) (Benson Island) as the place where Kapkimyis, a supernatural being in their tradition, created the first Tseshaht man and woman. There are several versions of the story about this event. The following is taken from two current versions as told by the Tseshaht people:</p><br>
<p>A girl called Nasayilim ("Sky Day") was awakened to see two people ‒ an old man and a shaman. The old man cut his left side, and the shaman collected the blood that flowed from the wound. He blew on it, creating what we call tschsyapi, the "life pulse". From this a boy named Naasiyaatu ("Day Down"), also known as Chichu?atH, was created. The boy and the girl grew up and had many children. Thus many were descended from the two. The Chief in the Sky made an island, high and dry, called Tsisha for the people to live. The boy was given a war club with blood along the edge and told to keep it on the beach so the tribe would never die.</p><br>
<p>The significance of Cisaa (Tsishaa) to the Tseshaht people is indicated by their very name: "Tseshaht" means "people of Ts&#39;ishaa".</p><br>
<p>Archeological evidence shows the site at Cisaa was first occupied over 5,000 years ago, and Tseshaht oral history tells of continuing occupation of the site until after European contact. The Tseshaht people used Tsishaa as a home village as they followed sea mammals, salmon and other food and natural resources throughout Barkley Sound as the seasons changed.</p><br>
<h3>Post-European Exploration</h3><br>
<p>In 1791 the Spanish Ship Santa Saturina entered Barkley Sound, marking the first European contact with the indigenous people living in the area. Over the next 100 years the Tseshaht and other First Nations in the area suffered enormous population declines, primarily from diseases such as smallpox that were brought by the European explorers.</p><br>
<p>By 1865 the island was labeled on British Admiralty charts as Hawkins Island. In 1893 John W. Benson purchased the island and proceeded to build a large home on the east side of the island. The home was later expanded into a hotel for visitors. On November 19, 1922 the Victoria Colonist newspaper reported that the island "had a small hotel worth visiting. There were about ten acres cleared and a portion of it was planted in a garden and orchard to supply the hotel. The island and hotel are owned by Mrs. Benson, widow of an old-time sealing captain, and one of the early pioneers of the West Coast of Vancouver Island."</p><br>
<p>In 1970 most of the Broken Group islands, including Benson, were included in the newly designated Pacific Rim National Park Reserve. The island has been a popular destination for sea kayakers, recreational sailors and other visitors to the area.</p><br>
<p>In 2009 Parks Canada and the Tseshaht First Nation reached an agreement to prohibit all camping on the island due to its cultural significance. An interpretive display about the importance of the island was installed in 2012. It includes a tall wooden house standing post carved by Tseshaht artist Gordon Dick. Day trips are still permitted so that visitors may learn about the Tseshaht history.</p><br>
<p>Barker House is a historic home located at Edenton, Chowan County, North Carolina. The original house was built about 1782, and expanded during the 19th century. It is a 2 1/2-story frame dwelling with Georgian, Federal, and Greek Revival style design elements. It sits on a brick foundation and has at both ends a pair of single-shoulder exterior chimneys. The front facade features a full-length, two-tier porch carried on superimposed fluted pillars under a shed roof.</p><br>
<p>The house commemorates the life of Penelope Barker of Edenton who organized 51 ladies to sign a petition to King George saying NO to taxation on tea and cloth. Unlike the tea party at Boston, the women at Edenton not only signed their names to the petition but sent it to the King and caused British newspapers to decry the first political demonstration by women in North America.</p><br>
<p>The Barker House serves as the Welcome Center for Edenton. It is owned, preserved and opened seven days a week by the Edenton Historical Commission and complements several sites of Historic Edenton. Their other historic sites open for tour include the James Iredell House (home of George Washingtons youngest appointee to the first US Supreme Court), the Roanoke River Lighthouse, Chowan County Courthouse (this 1767 courthouse is the oldest in-use courthouse in the country), the Cupola House and St. Pauls Episcopal Church.</p><br>
<p>The Barker House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>

<p>Historic Cleveland County Courthouse is a courthouse building located at Shelby, Cleveland County, North Carolina.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The courthouse was built in 1907, and is a three-story, rectangular, Classical Revival-style building sheathed in a smooth ashlar veneer above a rusticated first floor. It features tetrastyle Corinthian order porticoes at each of the four entrances and a three-stage cupola atop the flat roof.</p><br>
<p>In 1916, Thomas Dixon, Jr., the author of The Clansman: A Historical Romance of the Ku Klux Klan, planned to erect a statue of his uncle Leroy McAfee on the courthouse square. The project was initially met with enthusiasm, until it was announced that Dixon wanted McAfee to wear a Ku Klux Klan mask in the statue.</p><br>
<p>Courthouse offices moved to a new building in 1974, and the old courthouse houses offices, and public meeting hall. It was also home to the Cleveland County Historical Museum, which closed in 2004 and became the Earl Scruggs Center in 2014 after extensive interior renovations.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. It is located in the Central Shelby Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>Earl Scruggs Center</h2><br>
<p>The courthouse is now home to the Earl Scruggs Center--"Music & Stories from the American South", which opened in 2014. The museum focuses on both the life of local musician Earl Scruggs, and the music, history and culture of the American South. The museum also hosts concerts and music lectures.</p><br>
<p>The Hempstead County Courthouse is located at the northwest corner of 5th and Washington Streets in Hope, the county seat of Hempstead County, Arkansas. The five story masonry structure was designed by the Little Rock form if McAninch and Anderson, and built in 1939 with funding from the Public Works Administration, a Depression-era federal jobs program. It is Hopes finest example of Art Deco architecture. Its entry is framed by a series of molded concrete panels, separated by inverted chevrons. The panels depict a variety of industries and professions, including construction, mining, medicine, defense, electricity, farming, and brickmaking. Chevron paneling is repeated in the cornice. The interior of the building is virtually unaltered, except for two courtrooms on the upper floors, which required complete renovation following a lightning-induced fire in 1979. The 1939 building has had a large jail added, but this was done in a sympathetic manner to the originals design.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<p>The Washington Confederate Memorial is located in the Washington Presbyterian Cemetery, off United States Route 278 on the northwest side of Washington, Arkansas.

<p>George Ellicott House is a historic house located in Oella in Baltimore County, Maryland, United States.</p><br>
<p>George Ellicott was a son of Andrew Ellicott, one of several brothers that founded Ellicott Mills (Ellicott City). George Ellicott bought swampland after the colonial war now known as the Inner Harbor of Baltimore. He used a horse drawn dredge to create shipping docks for his flour supplies.</p><br>
<p>The George Ellicott House was built in Oella on the eastern shore of the Patapsco River opposite Ellicott City. The granite house was built in 1789. It resided on the grounds of the Wilkens-Rodgers flour mill. In 1972 the house was flooded by Hurricane Agnes and his brother Jonathan&#39;s neighboring house was destroyed. In 1983 the Maryland General assembly contributed $135,000 toward the $1 million expense of moving the house to higher ground on the other side of the street it resided on. The move was facilitated by a partnership between Historic Ellicott City Inc., James A. Clark, Jr., Judge John L Clark, and the Oella Company.</p><br>
<p>Gross Reservoir, located in Boulder County, Colorado, is owned and operated by Denver Water. Completed in 1954, the reservoir has a surface area of 440 acres, and the spillway sits at 7,225 feet elevation.</p><br>
<p>The reservoir receives water from the western side of the Continental Divide through the Moffat Tunnel. South Boulder Creek flows out of the 340 foot high dam.</p><br>
<h2>Recreation</h2><br>
<p>The reservoir provides opportunities for fishing (including ice fishing), hiking, canoeing, kayaking, and some camping. No water-contact sports such as swimming or wading are allowed. Only non-motorized boats are permitted — the type that can be attached to the top of a car.</p><br>
<h2>Proposed Expansion</h2><br>
<p>Denver Water is planning on expanding the reservoir to increase its storage capacity. If approved, the expansion would add about 77,000 acre feet to the reservoir&#39;s capacity, about three times its current capacity.</p><br>
<p>The Morning Star , Ruthin was listed as a Grade II building on 16 May 1978. It is directly opposite the Ruthin Gaol, and is claimed to be the oldest pub in Ruthin.</p><br>
<p>Early in 2010 a cache of old documents was discovered in the roof of the Morning Star. They were four very dirty, tightly screwed up bundles of papers giving detail on the business of an alehouse and on ordinary life in early Victorian Ruthin. They are about John Williams who was the last of five family members to hold the licence for the Star in the early nineteenth century.</p><br>
<p>The Star was originally built in 1639, as a lobby-entrance building with integral rear wing.</p><br>
<p>The inn was known as the "North Pole" in 1756 with James Edwards bricklayer as the licensee; it became the "Star" in 1775 with Richard Percival, also a bricklayer, as the licensee. Finally it was renamed the Morning Star in 2010. An 1845 description mentions that the public areas were at the front of the building, with a bar and a parlour either side of the lobby entrance. Behind these was a kitchen and a brewhouse and pantry to the rear. A cellar lay below the public areas. Upstairs, there were four bedrooms, above which were lofts intended for the Star&#39;s servants.</p><br>
<h2>Williams family</h2><br>
<p>In 1799 William Williams became the licensee of the Star and began a family connection which was to last for 46 years, through three generations and five licenses. In 1837 Roberts brother, John took over as the licensee and it is with him and his business that the newly found documents are mainly concerned. One of John Williams bar account books has survived. He offered small lines of credit to his regular customers to tide them over while they waited for payment from their own customers. The bar book contains 52 names of regulars captured for posterity, and it is a sobering thought that these transactions represent the only surviving evidence of any activity by these individuals.</p><br>
<h2>1840s</h2><br>
<p>In the 1840s the Star was part of a large hospitality sector of 51 different establishments. On Clwyd Street alone, the Star competed with 9 other taverns and 2 retailers of beer.</p><br>
<h2>Food and farming</h2><br>
<p>Surviving black bills from the 18th century show that the Star offered breakfast, luncheon, dinner, supper, "sanviges" tea and coffee as well as "servants eating", which suggests an all-day food provision. Food would be served in the parlour, a comfortable room with tables and chairs and carpet.</p><br>
<p>The Buildings at 825-829 Blue Hill Avenue are historic apartment buildings in the Mattapan neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. The three-story Colonial Revival masonry structures were designed by Samuel Levy and built in 1924 for Herman Barron, during a period in which Boston&#39;s Jewish population migrated to the area in large numbers from downtown Boston. The buildings occupy a triangular lot at the corner of Blue Hill Avenue and Calder Street. Both street-facing facades feature alternating projecting and recessed bays, and are laid in seven-course Flemish bond brick. At the corner the building has two single-bay facades, one of which houses an entrance. These faces are ornamented with corner quoining in concrete. The main entrances of the buildings are on Blue Hill Avenue, sheltered by gabled porticos supported by Tuscan columns.</p><br>
<p>The buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<p>Lake Elmer is a reservoir in Kingfisher County, Oklahoma that is owned by the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. The nearest town is Kingfisher, about 4 miles southeast of the lake.

It has a surface area of 60 acres and a shoreline of 3.4 miles. Its elevation is 1,119 ft. The latitude and longitude are 35.8798, -97.9878. It has an average depth of 6 ft and a maximum depth of 18 ft.</p><br>
<p>The lake has a boat ramp and two water wells. Fish species of interest to fishermen are Largemouth Bass, Bluegill Sunfish, Crappie and Catfish.</p><br>
<p>The New Decatur–Albany Historic District is a historic district in Decatur, Alabama. The district encompasses the commercial district of the former town of New Decatur . It lies south of the Bank Street-Old Decatur Historic District and east of the New Decatur–Albany Residential Historic District. New Decatur was founded in 1887 as a planned town and suburb of Decatur. The town was renamed Albany in 1916 and merged with "Old" Decatur in 1927.</p><br>
<p>The district contains 48 buildings centered on 2nd Avenue. Buildings from the late 19th century exhibit more decorated styles, including examples of Romanesque Revival, Victorian, and Renaissance Revival architecture. Early 20th century structures are more restrained, with decoration coming from the building&#39;s materials rather than being applied. A few Art Deco and Streamline Moderne buildings dating from the 1920s to 1940s also appear in the district. Notable contributing properties include the Princess Theatre, an Art Deco cinema-turned-theater, and the Cotaco Opera House, built in 1890.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. The Decatur Light, Power, and Fuel Company complex was added to the district in 1999, but subsequently demolished.</p><br>
<p>The Windfall Harbor Shelter Cabin is a historic backcountry shelter in the Admiralty Island National Monument, part of the Tongass National Forest in Southeast Alaska. It was one of a number of such facilities built by Civilian Conservation Corps  on the Admiralty Island Canoe Route between 1933 and 1937. This cabin, a three-sided Adirondack-style log structure with shake walls and roof, is located near the southern end of Windfall Harbor, an inlet on the east side of Admiralty Island. The shelter underwent repairs in 1986. The Forest Service is in 2014 in the planning phases of a project to relocate the cabin a short distance to move it away from a major bear travel path.</p><br>
<p>The cabin was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<p>Hubert Black House is a historic house and farm located in Woodbine , Howard County, Maryland. It was named after J. Hubert Black, a Howard County parole officer, and later, a County Commissioner who ran on a no growth platform in 1962, who approved the Rouse Company development of Columbia, Maryland.</p><br>
<p>The Black House sits on a 250-acre former dairy farmed by the Black family since 1883. The land is part of a group of original land patents named Hobsons Choice, Wise Mans Folly, Additional Defense, Range Declined, Acorn Hill, Ridgley&#39;s Great Park, The Dispute, and Dispute Ended. Former owners included Samuel and Amelia Jarden in 1872, Josuha D. Warfield in 1869, and Phillip Welsh in 1808. The house is a three-bay-wide -story building constructed in 1860 during the last years of slavery in the Howard District of Anne Arundel County.</p><br>
<h2>Larriland Farm</h2><br>
<p>In 1963, G. Lawrence "Larry" Moore and his wife Nancy exchanged his 100-acre farm in Howard County with Commissioner J. Hubert Black, forming the 250-acre Larriland Farm. Black resold the 100-acre farm to become residential subdivisions for the Rouse Company project he approved. The Larriland farm was placed in the Maryland Agricultural Land Preservation Program.</p><br>
<p>Outbuildings have been converted to shops for seasonal sales.</p><br>
<p>The Lafayette County Training School is a historic school building at 1046 Berry Street, on the former campus of Ellis High School in Stamps, Arkansas. It is a single-story brick building with gable roof, built in 1929 with assistance from the Rosenwald Fund. It is laid out in the shape of an H, and houses six classrooms in the side wings, with an office, library, and auditorium in the center. It is the only surviving Rosenwald School in Lafayette County. It served the area&#39;s African-American student population until 1969, when the county schools were integrated. It thereafter served as an integrated middle school until 1975, and for a time as a daycare center afterward.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>
<p>The Green Pryor Rice House  is a historic residence in Somerville, Alabama. The house was built in the early 1830s by Matthew Cyrus Houston, a Virginian who was postmaster of Somerville and clerk of the circuit court. In 1837 the house was acquired by Green Pryor Rice, a judge and state senator. Two of Rice&#39;s grandsons who were born in the house also went on to political careers: Samuel D. Weakley was Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court and Malcolm Rice Patterson was Governor of Tennessee. The house is a Tidewater cottage, native to the southern Atlantic coast. The house is constructed of Flemish bond brick, and has two front entries, each with transoms. An unusual feature of the house is the corbelled brick cornice. A bungalow-style porch was added in 1927, but removed in 1984. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>Worthingtons Range, "Howards Chance", "Howard&#39;s Range", or "Tierney Gambrel Roof House", is a historic slave plantation located between Clarksville, Columbia and Simpsonville in Howard County, Maryland, United States.</p><br>
<p>Rachel Worthington ( - 1776) settled the site in 1753, carving out 369 acres of "Worthington&#39;s Range" from her husbands existing slave plantation. The house is the birthplace of Paul Griffith Stromberg. The "Miller Cemetery" lies about two hundred feet Northwest from the house. It was destroyed by arson in 1977.</p><br>
<p>In 2014, former Howard County Department of Planning and Zoning director&#39;s firm Land Design and Development petitioned the planning board to subdivide the historic property and cemetery for a 150 unit housing development called "Enclave at Tierney Farm". Density was increased by having the county extend sewer service to the rural property. The project was delayed a single year because of an indefinite lack of school capacity in the region.</p><br>
<p>The Nutting Homestead is a historic farm complex on Maine State Route 121, south of the center of Otisfield, Maine. The property has been owned by the Nutting family and its descendants since the late 18th century, and exemplifies the adaptive use of farm properties over time. The oldest portion of the farmhouse dates to 1796, and other buildings in the complex date mainly to the 19th century. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<p>Nathan Nutting, a native of Groton, Massachusetts, purchased the land for his house in 1796, and built a modest 1-1/2 story Cape style house. His son, Nathan, Jr., was sent to Boston for education, and he studied architecture and construction. After his return to Otisfield he built the Federal-style main block of the present house, attaching is father&#39;s original Cape to the right side. Nathan, Jr. is also locally notable as the builder of the Bell Hill Meetinghouse and other area churches, and he operated a sawmill and manufactured carpentry tools.</p><br>
<p>The main block of the house is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, five bays wide, with a large central chimney. The main entrance is centered on the facade, and features sidelight windows and a louvered fan above. It is framed by pilasters supporting a pediment and Doric entablature. The cornice is studded with modillions. The south (right) side of the house is joined to the 1-1/2 story Cape, which is also five bays wide with a center entrance framed by pilasters. This section originally had a central chimney, but this was removed in the late 19th century in favor of smaller end chimneys, to which wood stoves were connected. The overhanging roof suggests that it is also a later 19th century alteration.</p><br>
<p>The rest of the farm complex includes three 19th-century buildings: a barn, carriage house, and corn crib.</p><br>
<p>The Southwestern Proving Ground Building No. 4 is a gun shelter and stockade at 259 Hempstead County Road 279 in Oakhaven, Arkansas, northwest of the city of Hope. It is located on property that was once part of the Southwestern Proving Ground, a major military facility during World War II whose largest portion was transformed into Hope Municipal Airport. Building No. 4 is a roofless concrete structure with seven bays open to the southeast, with smaller openings on the northwest side. It was built in 1941 to replicate typical stockaded gun placements in field conditions, its two-foot-thick walls designed to isolate gun crews from the dangers of fire and exploding ammunition. The building is now used by a private owner for storage and agricultural purposes.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
