<p>The William Green House is a historic farmhouse in Ewing Township, New Jersey. The first home on the site was built in the last decade of the 17th century. According to a privately published family monograph, the farmhouse was the home of Judge William Greene, who was born in the 1600s in England and died in 1722 in Hunterdon County, New Jersey. The oldest parts of the current structure date to 1717 and the newest to 1830. The house is owned by the College of New Jersey but is in a poor state of repair. It has been considered an endangered historic site for over 40 years and, despite efforts taken by the college in 2006 to shore up the structure, was listed in 2015 as one of New Jersey&#39;s 10 most endangered historic sites by Preservation New Jersey.</p><br>

<p>The Alpha Xi Delta Sorority Chapter House is a historic sorority house located at the University of Illinois at Urbana&ndash;Champaign in Urbana, Illinois. Built in 1915 as a private home, the house was purchased by the Kappa Chapter of the Alpha Xi Delta sorority in 1928. The chapter was formed in 1905 and rented houses until purchasing the house, which was near a developing sorority row east of the university campus. Architech Joseph W. Royer designed the house in the Tudor Revival style. The house&#39;s design features vertical half-timbering on the upper stories, decorative brickwork on the first floor, two steep cross gables and multiple dormers projecting from the roof, and multiple brick chimneys.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 28, 1989.</p><br>
<p>The Calais Residential Historic District encompasses the town&#39;s best collection of well-preserved 19th-century residences in Calais, Maine. Located on Calais Street and Main Street, the district includes twenty properties developed between the early 19th century and 1900. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Calais, Maine is located in Down East Maine, just across the Saint Croix River from Saint Stephen, New Brunswick. The 19th century was a period of significant growth and development as a lumber processing center, with shipbuilding also an important industry in the first half of the century. Main Street was laid out running roughly northwest-to-southeast along the river bank, and Calais Street developed as a residential street running southwest from Main Street. Calais Street is notable for its wide grassy median, and it was at the junction of the two streets that the first Congregational Church was built in 1826. (It was later moved, and the 1873 building that replaced it is now a community center.</p><br>
<p>The historic district includes three blocks on the south side of Main Street east of Calais Street, and two blocks on both sides of Calais Street. The oldest house in the district, dating to the Federal period, is the Holmes Cottage. Built sometime before 1831, it is a modest 1-1/2 story cottage with a long history of association with Calais doctors. Now owned by the local historical society, it stands on Main Street next to the 1850 Dr. Job Holmes House, one of the towns finest Italianate houses. The Greek Revival is the most common architectural style found in the district, and there are only three houses built after 1880. There are two church buildings in the district, including the 1833 United Methodist Church, the oldest religious building in the town. The only (formerly) commercial structure in the district is a small 1835 hotel, the first brick hotel building to be built east of Bangor.</p><br>
<p>The Hawkes Pharmacy, also known recently as the Rockaway Hotel, is a historic commercial building at 7 Main Street in York Beach, Maine. Built in 1902, it is the commercial building in the village of York Beach to retain significant historic features. The Tudor Revival building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Hawkes Pharmacy building is located on the west side of Main Street (United States Route 1A) in the heart of the village center of York Beach, a summer resort village on the coast of northern York, Maine. It is a two-story wood frame structure, with a roofline that has three large gables on the (east-facing) front and two on the south. These gables are all decorated with Tudor Revival half-timbering, vergeboard in the eaves, and finials at the peaks. The central gable on the front has an arch at its center, with a balcony projecting over the building&#39;s front entrance. On the ground floor there are two storefronts.</p><br>
<p>The building was constructed in 1902 by Wilson and Ralph Hawkes, a father-son pair the elder of whom had operate a pharmacy in York Beach since 1899. The building initially housed the pharmacy in one storefront, and a dry goods store in the other, with the proprietor living upstairs. Ralph Hawkes continued to operate the pharmacy until the 1940s, when a fire extensively damaged the interior. The building was rehabilitated in the 1900s, with the upstairs converted into small hotel. The building is the only known non-residential design of architect Fred Watson, who moved to York Beach from New York City in 1899.</p><br>
<p>The Harris House is a historic house in rural southeastern Pulaski County, Arkansas. Built in 1856, it is one of the oldest houses in central Arkansas. It is a modest 1-1/2 story wood frame structure, built out of local hand-hewn cypress and handmade bricks. It has an open porch extending across a five-bay front facade, with gable dormers projecting from the roof above. The entrance is flanked by sidelight windows and topped by a transom. The wood used in construction is virgin cypress, some of it planed to a width of 16 in. The house was built on land acquired by Robert Harris in 1853, part of which was granted by President John Quincy Adams. The land was still in the hands of Harris&#39; descendants in 1976, when it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Caucahué is an island located in the Caucahué Channel, Chiloé Province, Los Lagos Region , Commune of Quemchi in southern Chile. It has a population of 638 inhabitants according to 2001 Chilean census. The island supplies the city of Quemchi with farm and sea products.</p><br>
<p>The name Cahucahué comes from Mapudungun (the Mapuche language), and means “place of many seagulls”, from the words káwka or kawkaw, meaning "big seagull", and we, meaning place"&#39;.</p><br>
<p>Caucahue Island used to be home to the now-extinct Caucahue people. The Caucahue were one of the canoe-going peoples that lived in the southernmost regions of Chile. They were hunter gatherers and made good use of the sea’s resources, living off sea food, seaweed and minor game that they found on the island and its surrounding areas. Along with farming, today’s inhabitants of the island still use the sea as a livelihood, and sell their seafood and farm produce at the Quemchi free market located right across the channel on Chiloé Island.</p><br>
<p>The island is divided into four parts: Queler, Morro Lobos Bajo, Morro Lobos Alto and Quinterquén. It has four schools, each with one teacher: "Escuela Queler", "Escuela Caucahué", "Escuela Morro Lobos" and "Escuela Quinterquén". It is connected to the mainland via the town of Quemchi. A daily boat service runs from Quemchi to the island and private boats are also available for the 20 minute trip.</p><br>
<p>Caucahue’s natural vegetation is Valdivian temperate rain forest and it has a temperate climate with constant rain all year round.</p><br>
<p>Idavine is a heritage-listed detached house at 2 Burnett Street, West Ipswich, City of Ipswich, Queensland, Australia. It was built. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Idavine, a residence at 2 Burnett Street, West Ipswich, is a timber house for which existing evidence indicates a construction date during the Federation Period.</p><br>
<p>The allotment on which this residence is situated was first alienated in 1855 as allotment 100, parish of Ipswich, county Stanley (1r 32.5p), by Henry Mort at a cost of £25. Mort was a pastoralist and company director as well as a member of the New South Wales Legislative Council between 1881 and 1900. The allotment appears to have remained unoccupied during the 11 years of Mort&#39;s ownership.</p><br>
<p>In August 1866, the title to allotment 100 was transferred to William Berry, an Ipswich district farmer. Although extant records indicate Berry was a farmer by occupation, it is known that he was also a land owner and was referred to in his death documents as a freeholder. Between 1852 and 1854 he purchased three town lots in Cleveland, Brisbane, and in 1855 was the owner of the property, adjacent to 2 Burnett Street, at 1 Burnett Street (allotment 101). Berry resided in a modest timber cottage at 1 Burnett Street until when he built a brick house and Ipswich Municipal Council Valuation Registers indicate he utilized allotment 100 (2 Burnett Street) as his garden. By 1870, Berry had also acquired Lots 98 and 99 next to 2 Burnett Street, and the area became generally known as Berry&#39;s Hill.</p><br>
<p>Despite Berry&#39;s real estate interests in Burnett Street, allotment 100 remained unimproved during his ownership. In 1886 title to the land was transferred to August Knopke and it appears that Knopke erected a timber house on the property -88 as his residence, as indicated in the Ipswich Municipal Council Valuation Register for 1888.</p><br>
<p>No documentary evidence exists to definitively date the residence which is now located at 2 Burnett Street, however the overall form of the house, ascertained through site inspection, suggests it was built in the Federation period, possibly after the turn of the century. It is unlikely that the current house was constructed by August Knopke and the link between the name "Idavine" and its owner in 1913, Ida Retschlag (née Boettcher), may be significant.</p><br>
<p>Retschlag remained as the registered owner of the property until 1918 when it passed into the hands of Sophia Helena Lewis, daughter of Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Runge & Wilhelmine Charlotte Runge. The property remained in the Lewis-Runge family for the next 60 years and it was reputedly during this period that the house was at one-time used as flats. It is significant to note that following the establishment of an immigration incentive scheme in Germany during the late 19th century, German emigrants formed close communities in many Queensland towns and the association of this house with German owners from 1886 onwards is symptomatic of their influential presence in the Ipswich area.</p><br>
<p>Since the mid-1970s the property has passed between several owners and remains a well-preserved example of the architectural style of its era.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Idavine is located on a compact lot facing Burnett Street to its north-east. It sits atop a hill approximately 1 km from the Ipswich town center. The house is situated approximately 3m from the front fence line at its narrowest point and 4.5m at its widest. The eastern face of the building is approximately 3m from the side boundary, and the western face is approximately 4m from the boundary at the narrowest point. The front verandah provides the visitor with an uninterrupted vista along Limestone Street, the approach route from the town centre.</p><br>
<p>The house is timber-framed and externally clad on its exposed faces in chamferboards. All its original timber stumps have been replaced with concrete ones. While the timber floor framing appeared to be in good condition, it was noted that a number of steel bearers had been introduced. Painted timber battens screen the gaps between each exterior concrete stump. The building has two gable projections on the front facade. The smaller of the two sits above the verandah, while the other incorporates a triple window. The main roof is short-ridged and slopes continuously to the edge of the verandah. Where the kitchen abuts the dining room, the main roof is joined to another short-ridged roof sloping at right angles to it. The entire roof is of corrugated galvanized iron with recently installed vents in each ridge.</p><br>
<p>The bargeboards to the verandah gable are shaped and rounded at each end, with a star pattern cut out from the resulting panel of timber. The triangular gable infill is made of decorated timber. A similarly ornate infill panel adorns the other larger gable. It projects approximately 30 cm from the wall below and is supported by carved timber brackets. A double set is located either side of the triple window below. A finial projects from the gable&#39;s ridge.</p><br>
<p>Entry to the verandah is gained via stairs at right angles to the gable projection and through a set of double lattice doors. Its open edge is decorated with tapering, chamfered timber posts. Between each post is an arched frieze panel in-filled with timber battens and divided by a carved timber drop. The ends of the arched friezes rest on timber capitals. The open edge is also decorated with cast iron baluster panels and balusters beneath a timber handrail. The panels display a cornucopia design motif featuring two horns, one filled with fruit and the other with vegetables. Below the symmetrically curved horns are bunches of wheat and another plant. Located centrally at the bottom of the panel, where the ends of each bunch cross, is a horseshoe. The balustrading pattern matches one registered in Victoria on 7 April 1892 by J Cochrane & G Scott.</p><br>
<p>The combined effect of the cast iron balustrading and the decorative timberwork to the verandah is to give the house a strong street presence. This is despite the fact that these elements are hidden somewhat by foliage. The cast iron balustrading and handrail continues for almost the entire length of the eastern face of the house; however part of the verandah is enclosed with windows.</p><br>
<p>The framing is exposed on the exterior face of the building adjoining the verandah. This wall is single skin, vertically-jointed tongue and groove boarding. Exposed framing is found elsewhere facing the kitchen and sleep-out areas. A tripartite, double-hung sash window opens from the verandah into the current living room. A casement window opens between the sleep-out and verandah. The front door, consisting of one side panel and a pivoting glass fanlight, also opens off the verandah. Next to the front door is fixed a timber plaque on which the name "Idavine" is painted in gold. It was in place when the current owners took possession of the property in 2001.</p><br>
<p>The front door opens onto a hall with an approximately 3.5m high ceiling. The ceilings in all rooms, except the kitchen, laundry and sleep-out (enclosed verandah), are this height. The hall is divided in two by an arched doorway, on either side of which are fixed glass panels. The walls are lined with vertically-jointed tongue and groove boarding, as are all other walls in the house. In the hall are located the only skirting boards to be found in the house. The floor is polished timber boarding, as are all others excluding those in the bathroom, ensuite, kitchen and laundry. The ceilings in both segments of the hallway are pressed metal, as are the cornices. There are further pressed metal ceilings in the living room, kitchen and main bedroom. All other ceilings, excluding those in the sleep-out and verandah, which are sheeted, are lined with vertically-jointed tongue and groove boarding.</p><br>
<p>Six rooms open off the hallway, two to the left, three to the right and one to the rear. Above each doorway (all fitted with timber doors) is a decorated frieze panel, except above the rear door where there is a pivoted fanlight. The rooms to the left are the current living and dining rooms, which are joined by a large, rectangular shaped opening. Its shape and the difference in ceiling finishes in each room suggest that this was an amendment to the original plan. Both rooms have doorways onto the sleep-out that feature frieze panels. The living rooms pressed metal ceiling incorporates a border and concave cornice. In the centre is located a single square featuring a cherub. In the rear wall of the dining room there is an unusual shaped opening. Above a long rectangular servery is centered a square fixed glass panel. This panels head height matches those of the doors, as does its width. Therefore, it could have been a door at some point. The framing for the hallway walls is exposed in the rooms opening off it.</p><br>
<p>The majority of rooms with windows opening through the western and southern facades of the house have skillion hoods. Those that do not are sheltered by the overhang of the ensuite&#39;s skillion roof. The hoods feature flat, galvanized iron roofs, timber battens to each side and carved timber brackets. All windows are double-hung sashes, except three opening off the ensuite, which are casement.</p><br>
<p>The last room to open to the right off the hallway has a picture rail fixed at a height of approximately 3m. In its western wall a door opens into an ensuite. This was built after an application was made by the current owners to the Heritage Branch in November 2001. The ensuite fills in what had been a small entry verandah accessed by a short flight of stairs. The stairs remain, as does the lattice door that once opened into the verandah. One of the ensuite&#39;s three casement windows has been covered, although it is visible on the exterior. The door between the bedroom and ensuite has a fixed glass panel above and a timber threshold.</p><br>
<p>In plan, the kitchen is "L" shaped and one enters from the hallway at its corner. Three more rooms open off this space. The first is currently (2003) a main bedroom, the second is the main bathroom, and the third room is a small laundry. A bank of timber, casement windows line the external wall of the kitchen, and open onto a patio, which is recent and roofed with clear PVC sheeting. Both doors accessing these rooms from the kitchen have timber thresholds. The main bathroom has a tiled floor from the later part of the twentieth century. Its walls are lined with vertically-jointed tongue and groove, and pine boarding divided by a picture rail at door head height. The bedroom&#39;s only window is divided into three parts.</p><br>
<p>The ceiling to the kitchen slopes to match that found in the sleep-out and verandah areas. In the south-west corner of the house, where the kitchen opens into the sleep-out, there are two windows. One is fixed glass and visible on the rear facade. The other window can only be seen from inside the toilet, which has been added to the building, possibly when it was used as flats. Taking the evidence of the slope in the ceilings and the location of timber thresholds, fixed glass panels above doors, and exposed framing, it is likely that the kitchen space was open at some point.</p><br>
<h3>Grounds</h3><br>
<p>The front fence consists of painted timber frame and palings atop a low, stepped brick wall. The pedestrian and driveway entry gates are made of white, painted tubular steel. A brick pathway leads from the pedestrian gate to the entry stairs. A large palm tree shelters part of the front facade, extending the height of the house&#39;s western gable end. There is some small to medium size shrubbery situated within the zone of the front setback.</p><br>
<p>When moving around the exterior of the house, it becomes clear that a number of level changes occur on the lot. In general terms, a continuous step divides the eastern and western sides of the lot. The western area is flat and allows cars to be driven along the driveway and under the rear of the house. A step of approximately 1.5m runs perpendicular from the rear boundary and meets the underside of the house where the patio has been attached. It moves underneath the house and the difference in level is dissipated toward the front boundary. The eastern half of the yard is also largely flat. Adjoining the verandah are three established trees and some low planting. A large brick BBQ sits against the eastern fence at the point where the patio stairs empty out.</p><br>

<p>Notnel is a heritage-listed detached house at 6 Burnett Street, West Ipswich, City of Ipswich, Queensland, Australia. It was built. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The residence at 6 Burnett Street, West Ipswich, is a brick house built for David McLaughlin.</p><br>
<p>The allotment on which this residence is situated was first purchased on 11 May 1855 as allotment 97, parish of Ipswich, county Stanley (1r 32.5p), by Patrick OSullivan at a cost of £31. OSullivan was born in 1818 in Ireland and at the age of 19 he was found guilty of assault with a bayonet at Canterbury, England, and transported to Australia. By 1847, O&#39;Sullivan had settled in Ipswich where he worked as a shopkeeper and was elected to the Queensland Legislative Assembly in 1860.</p><br>
<p>By March 1857, the title to allotment 97 was transferred to David McLaughlin, an Ipswich builder. He was born in Newtown Limavardy, in Ireland, and it appears that it was there that McLaughlin first became acquainted with William Lackey Ferguson, a bricklayer. Following Ferguson&#39;s emigration in 1860, McLaughlin and his fellow Irishman from Newtown began a building contracting business in Ipswich known as McLaughlin & Ferguson and which successfully tendered for work on the Ipswich Grammar School. As a builder, McLaughlin was in an advantageous position to have his own house built and Ipswich Municipal Council Valuation Registers indicate that a brick cottage and workshop existed on the allotment in Burnett Street as early as 1863.</p><br>
<p>In 1870, Council records indicate that Alfred Dann was the occupant. When sold it was described as "just the thing for a gentleman on the lookout for a town house" and intriguingly said to enjoy "sea breezes". Despite the enticements, the property remained in the ownership of David McLaughlin until June 1872, when title to the land was registered in the name of John North. North was born in Hertfordshire, England, and migrated with his sister to Australia in 1854 on board the Genghis Khan. Within 2 years North was living in Ipswich and working for the major department store, Cribb & Foote, where he remained in employment for over 40 years. By 1876, he had acquired allotment 98 adjacent to 6 Burnett Street from William Berry, the then owner of 1 Burnett Street. Ipswich Municipal Council records indicate that North demolished a timber cottage that had stood on this allotment and utilized it for the next 22 years as his garden.</p><br>
<p>North died at his Burnett Street residence in August 1898 and the property was passed to his wife, Laura Ann North, who remained there until she sold the estate on 1 February 1907 to George William Wesley Rylatt, a dentist of Brisbane Street, Ipswich. Ownership was then passed to Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Runge who was listed as the registered owner of the property in April 1920. Runge, who also owned 2 Burnett Street at the time, did not live in the house at 6 Burnett Street and continued to rent it until his death in 1923, after which time it was held in trust and eventually transferred to his son, also named Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Runge. After taking possession of the property, Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Runge junior sold allotment 98 as subdivisions.</p><br>
<p>By 1934, the title to the land had once again changed hands and George Hawley was registered as the owner of the property. The Hawley family had migrated to Australia from England and were farmers in the Fassifern Valley. The Burnett Street estate remained in the family for 56 years and it was named "Notnel" (Lenton backwards) by George Hawley in memory of Lenton Avenue where he had lived in England. In 1990, the title to 6 Burnett Street was transferred to a family which undertook substantial refurbishments and repairs to the property.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Notnel occupies a very large, long allotment that is 2,203 m in size and located less than one km from the Ipswich town centre. The house is sited close to the Burnett Street boundary, the front verandah edge being set back from it by only 1.8 m. Notnel does not enjoy the same elevated positions No.1 Burnett Street (William Berry residence) and Idavine do, however it overlooks a wide area to the west where the Ipswich Grammar School is located.</p><br>
<p>The front part of the single-storey house features a steeply pitched, short-ridge roof surrounded on three and a half sides by separate verandah roofs. Two dormer windows protrude to the north and east from this main roof structure. Their sides are clad in corrugated iron and their roofs are short-ridged. At the rear is a smaller pyramid-roofed structure separated from the front section by a short gabled roof. A small skillion roof abuts the rear sloping away from the pyramid-roofed structure. On the eastern facade the verandah roof continues over enclosed space to meet the rear skillion. On the western facade the verandah roof extends in front of the pyramid-roofed structure. The entire roof is clad in corrugated iron, with two brick chimney stacks protruding through it.</p><br>
<p>External walls are predominantly brick. Facing the eastern boundary and Burnett Street, the verandah edges are defined by square timber posts with simply carved capitals. Centred on the front facade is a set of double lattice doors held in place by recent, unpainted timber posts without capitals. Between the verandah posts are simple, timber handrails, and cross-braced balustrades and valances. On the western facade, aligned to the house&#39;s front brick face, a set of four full-height sash windows have been installed. The southern end of this facade is completed in brick.</p><br>
<p>Under the main short-ridge roof facing Burnett Street are four rooms. The front two are living and dining spaces. Entry is from the verandah and through the living room, which has a fireplace centred on its eastern wall. Entry to the dining room is through a door on the western wall. A further door from the living room opens into the short central hallway that separates the two rear rooms. The stairs to the single attic room start in this hallway space. All four rooms open onto the verandah with timber double doors.</p><br>
<p>A door from the short hallway opens onto the rear verandah area. Off this space to the left, access is gained to a single bedroom contained partly under the gable roof and the extension of the verandah roof. A fireplace is located on its eastern wall. To one&#39;s right is a bathroom, which occupies a corner of space contained under the west-facing verandah roof.</p><br>
<p>To the left along the rear, west-facing verandah, access is gained to the kitchen, which is contained under the pyramid roof. The overall height of this space and a remaining rim of skirting boards at approximately 2.5 m, suggest that there was once a room above the kitchen and access to this space is now gained by a set of narrow stairs. In the kitchens southern wall is a large stove alcove. A door in the rooms eastern wall opens onto a small covered space. This opens into a storage room. These spaces are under the last part of the extension of the verandah roof, the storage area abutting the skillion-roofed laundry on its southern wall. The laundry is accessed from the rear yard space.</p><br>

<p>To-Me-Ree is a heritage-listed detached house at 7 Macalister Street, West Ipswich, City of Ipswich, Queensland, Australia. It was built. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The single-storey, Federation brick villa, "To-Me-Ree", is one of four houses George Williams built on the southern side of Denmark Hill around 1910. Williams and his wife lived opposite "To-Me-Ree", at "Almondsbury", a brick house with steeply pitched gables similar in style to "To-Me-Ree". Williams&#39; daughter, Nellie (Mary Ellen), and her husband, Sydney May, lived at "To-Me-Ree".</p><br>
<p>The name "To-Me-Ree" stems from May&#39;s interest in Aboriginal words and is thought to relate to Port Stephens headland. It is said that May had an extensive collection of Aboriginal artefacts which he displayed in the west room converted from the side verandah. The collection of Artefacts were donated to the Ipswich Art Gallery and are now on display there.</p><br>
<p>May moved to Ipswich in 1905 to be organist and choir master at the Ipswich Congregational Church. He also lectured at the University of Queensland&#39;s school of music and initiated music summer schools.</p><br>
<p>A bush house and rock garden were maintained during the May&#39;s time, and their garden was an attraction for city visitors. Sydney May died in 1968, Nellie May died in 1972 and one of their daughters, Barbara, continued living at "To-Me-Ree" until her death in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The house is a fine example of the affluent settlement around Denmark Hill which continued from the latter 19th century into the early 20th century. The house is situated amongst grand residences and substantial brick and timber dwellings which give the area a cohesive character</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>"To-Me-Ree" stands on the north-west corner of Moffat and Macalister Streets on the southern side of Denmark Hill with extensive southern views. "To-Me-Ree" is a substantial, brick villa with a complex gabled roof-line. Its southern facade has two projecting gables, connected by a verandah which has been enclosed with boarding and coloured glass casement windows. The gables each have round ventilator "windows" and decorative timber pediments and finials. Each of the gables has cream render quoins which contrast with the home&#39;s red brick body. One of the gables has a projecting bay window, with its own three-sided roofing. The chimney is made from a decorative combination of red, cream and ash coloured bricks.</p><br>
<p>A verandah on the eastern side of the house is supported by timber posts with moulded capitals and elegantly plain, timber brackets and valance. The verandah wraps around to the rear of the house where a pergola extends from the roofline over a large square rockery. The pergola is supported by ornate Italianate pillars on the eastern side. The rockery is bounded at the rear by the driveway which has original decorative iron gates to Macalister Street. Beyond the driveway to the rear of the property is the garden with evidence of a previous structure amongst the established plantings.</p><br>
<p>The southern and eastern sides of the property are surrounded by an original low brick wall including an original decorative single iron gate displaying the name "To-Me-Ree" fronting Macalister Street which leads to the front verandah steps.</p><br>
<p>The entrance to the interior is via a door on the eastern verandah which is surrounded by coloured, patterned glass (matching the glass on the verandah enclosure facing Moffat Street). The entrance leads into a hall-way, with a central timber arch, which extends to the rear of the house with rooms extending from either side.</p><br>
<p>The kitchen is in the south-western corner of the house which still displays one of two central fireplaces. The other fireplace is in a mirrored position in the living room on the opposite side of the wall to the kitchen fireplace. A room on the Western side of the house is an enclosed verandah which leads to the bathroom and laundry in their original positions on the north-west corner of the house.</p><br>

<p>The William Berry residence is a heritage-listed detached house at 1 Burnett Street, West Ipswich, City of Ipswich, Queensland, Australia. It was built. It is also known as William Berry residence. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The residence at 1 Burnett Street, West Ipswich, is a brick house built for William Berry.</p><br>
<p>The allotment on which this residence is situated was first purchased on 11 May 1855 as allotment 101, parish of Ipswich, county Stanley (1r 32.5p), by William Berry at a cost of £35. Berry was an Ipswich district farmer who was born in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, and by 1843 was resident in the Moreton Bay region. In March of that year he was one of the signatories to a petition to Sir George Gipps, Governor of New South Wales, requesting the sale of Crown Lands in the Moreton Bay area to be transferred from Sydney to Brisbane where the petitioners, "being Men of limited Capital", could afford to attend to purchase allotments. The appeal proved to no avail and in the subsequent Crown auction held in Sydney on 11 October 1843 Berry was among the first purchasers of Ipswich allotments. It is not clear exactly when Berry moved to Ipswich, however he was reputedly living there by 1848 and quickly acquired a distinct local patriotism. In 1849, he signed a petition that urged the then New South Wales Governor, Sir Charles Augustus Fitzroy, not to introduce more than a fair proportion of Crown prisoners to the Ipswich and Moreton Bay region on the grounds that their presence in the area would reduce the future prosperity of the district. Twelve years later Berry was again placing his signature to a petition, this time objecting to the incorporation of Ipswich as a municipality, which the petitioners believed "would be impolitic and injurious to the interests of the inhabitants".</p><br>
<p>Although extant records indicate Berry was a farmer by occupation, it is known that he was also a land owner and was referred to in his death documents as a freeholder. Between 1852 and 1854 he purchased three town lots in Cleveland, Brisbane, and in August 1866 the title to 2 Burnett Street was transferred to Berry. By 1870, Berry had also acquired Lots 98 and 99 next to 2 Burnett Street, and the area generally became known as Berry&#39;s Hill. Ipswich Municipal Council Valuation Registers indicate he utilized these allotments as his garden and he resided in a modest timber cottage at 1 Burnett Street until when Council records show a brick house was built on the property.</p><br>
<p>The construction of this larger residence was indicative of both Berrys burgeoning financial status and the increasing economic prosperity of the Ipswich region during the mid to late 1870s. It was an impressive house which Berry described, in an advertisement for sale in September 1886, as having a slate roof, eight rooms, kitchen, servants room, bathroom and bath, large underground tank, two-stalled stable, buggy shed, wash house and other offices. In April the following year, Berry died suddenly at his Burnett Street house, aged 76 years.</p><br>
<p>Following Berrys death the property was held in trust by his wife, Margaret Berry, and George Miles Challinor, a clerk of Esk, until July 1889 when title to the land was transferred to William Berrys son, Alexander, although Margaret Berry appears to have remained as occupant of the house.</p><br>
<p>By March 1900, title to the property had been transferred to Paul Marcel Terlier who retained title to the property until 1945. During this period the allotment was subdivided, with one subdivision sold to the then owners of 2 Burnett Street, Sophia Helena Lewis and Norman Lewis, for use as a garden. The house remained on a reduced parcel of 24 perches and four-tenths of a perch. It was also during Terlier&#39;s ownership of 1 Burnett Street that the house was reputedly divided into flats and the verandahs enclosed with fibro sheeting.</p><br>
<p>In the 30 years after 1945, the property passed between 5 owners, until 1974 when it was registered in the name of Allan and Lily Maude Whybird. Allan Whybird had served as an alderman on the Ipswich City Council in 1964 and as Deputy Mayor between 1970 and 1973. He was also the grandson of John Whybird who established the first removalist company in Ipswich in 1857. The Whybirds carried out some internal renovations during their 10 years of ownership and replaced the original balustrading on the upper verandah with cast iron inserts obtained from the local branch of the Bank of New South Wales, which was demolished in the second half of the 20th century. By 1984, the property was used as a shelter for homeless youths and was owned by the Ipswich Independent Youth Service, before passing into the hands of new owners, who restored the building to its original function as a family home.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The house at 1 Burnett Street sits on a compact allotment, at a corner with Omar Street, approximately 1 km from Ipswich town centre. It occupies a prominent position on a hill overlooking a wide expanse of the town. It is clearly visible at a distance when travelling along Limestone St and from the northern end of Burnett St where Ipswich Grammar School is located. There are a number of other houses on the eastern section of Burnett Street that are entered on Queensland&#39;s Heritage Register, including Idavine on the adjacent allotment and Notnel at 6 Burnett Street. Across the street, a number of timber vernacular cottages have been converted into a single restaurant.</p><br>
<p>The original house of rendered and painted brick is sited in the front eastern corner of the 617 sqm lot. The render has been scored to create the illusion of large masonry blocks. Its main roof is hipped with a short-ridge and sheeted in corrugated iron. The timber verandahs face the two streets with the eastern verandah edge sitting on the fence-line and the other setback approximately 1.2m. Their roof is continuous with the main roof at a slightly reduced pitch. The upper storey&#39;s balustrading is cast iron obtained from elsewhere by the Whybirds. A number of balusters are missing, and some aluminium frieze pieces have been fitted around the lower storey. A photo taken late in the 19th century shows the original verandah edge made up of simple timber columns with capitals, carved brackets and horizontal pieces between them. One chimneystack protrudes from the main roof at the eastern end of the ridge and there is a lone acroteria decorating it. There is also a lone decorated soldered rainwater head fitted to the western face.</p><br>
<p>A flight of stairs rise through the vernadah space overlooking Omar Street. They were likely built in the period prior to the end of the Second World War when the house was converted to flats. The stairs are screened with lattice and run between the two window rows on this facade.</p><br>
<p>One end of the gable-roofed, single storey kitchen abuts the main house on its southern facade. Its eastern face is in line with that of the main house. The steeply pitched corrugated iron roof has no overhang with the fascia fixed to the outer wall. This structure has painted brick walls and two hooded windows facing Omar Street and the east. The hoods are skillion with timber battening to the sides and a carved timber piece to the front. The two upper storey rear windows also have these hoods. The kitchen windows are sash with 6 panes in each leaf. A sunroom, laundry and covered patio separate the kitchen structure from the small square of garden to the houses west facing the neighbouring property. The sunrooms walls appear to follow a similar scheme to the main house using scored render. A steel sheeted skillion roof (Lysaght Klip-Lok profile) covers both, having no gutters.</p><br>
<p>Access to the tiled lower-storey verandah is gained from Burnett Street up a short flight of concrete stairs. The front door has a pivoting glass fanlight and opens onto a central hallway divided in two by an arched opening. The walls are plastered brick and a scraping has revealed a two-part colour scheme (light green atop dark, separated by a thin maroon band). Two rooms open to each side of this hallway. A set of stairs begins at its end and an opening to the sunroom fits under them. To the right are the living and dining spaces, which are joined by a broad archway. There is evidence that this wall was originally complete and featured a two-way fireplace, matching that which is found between the two rooms opening to the left of the hall. A section of brick chimneystack remains within the roof space. The ceilings are 3m in height and lined with 20 cm wide beaded tongue and groove boarding. The boarding features a central dummy bead. The hallway&#39;s ceiling is lined in a similar manner.</p><br>
<p>A fibro sheet ceiling has been removed to reveal the ceilings boards, 2-part cornices and picture rail fitted at 2.5m. The walls are plaster with a shaped timber skirting, matching the other rooms on this level of the main house. One window opens to the front and back of the house. They, as are all the others in the 8 main rooms are sash with 4 panes in each leaf. The windows and doors throughout feature painted timber architraves and reveals. The floors in the hallway, dining and living rooms are pine boards.</p><br>
<p>The two rooms opening to the left off the hallway are yet to have their fibro sheet ceilings removed. The mantelpiece to the fireplace in the front room is possibly polished Cedar, while the opposite one has been painted. It consists of a simple mantel top supported by two columns in relief. The arched cast register grates are still in place, the front rooms being painted white. In the rear room, used as a bedroom, the brick hearth extends some 15 cm with slates laid under the grate. The front rooms hearth appears to be stone or concrete.</p><br>
<p>The stairs have been sanded back in places and appear to be made of Hoop Pine. They complete a 180 degree turn in making their way to the upper storey. Its layout reflects exactly that found below. The outer stringer is not continuous at the bend, suggesting some change has been made. A high window overlooks the stairwell. All internal walls are plaster as the ones below are. However the internal wall corresponding to that which separates the hall and living room below, has been breached to reveal boarding that matches the ceilings downstairs. There is matching joinery to all windows and doors. The room above the dining room has been converted into a bathroom. All ceilings are lined with fibro sheeting. They slope down to meet each external wall in a 30 cm wide zone. The upper storey hall opens via a door onto the verandah. It is reported that the Whybirds lowered the level of this verandah, and this is evident in the three steps leading off this doorway. When this change occurred the original verandah timberwork was replaced. Bolts and nuts can be seen on the interior of certain walls where the verandah roof has been tied back.</p><br>
<p>On the ground floor, from the rear of the central hallway opens the sunroom. To the left are two doors leading through a thick wall to the large kitchen. Above the doors are fixed frames of rough painted lattice. Its ceiling is lined as the living and dining rooms&#39; are and is sloped at each side. The boards at the south end of the flat section of the ceiling are all cut at a distance of approximately 80 cm from the wall. This might suggest the existence of an earlier hearth. In the sunroom, on the wall shared with the main part of the house is a faintly visible curved line suggesting a curved roof may have been removed when the skillion was constructed. The line stops short of the current width of the sunroom.</p><br>
<h3>Grounds</h3><br>
<p>The fences to both streets consist of small columns and a base of concrete blocks cast to resemble rough-hewn stone. They are capped by red clay-bricks with bullnose edges that are laid stretcher face down. Between the columns of the Omar Street fence are fitted painted steel frames with bracing.</p><br>
<p>A two-storey pavilion, said to have been built by the Whybirds, occupies the rear western corner of the allotment, which is believed to be previously the site of the stables. On the ground floor is a double garage accessed by a driveway coming off Omar Street. Above this are bedrooms. A set of stairs and awning roof connect the pavilion with the covered patio attached to the sunroom.</p><br>

<p>Esk War Memorial is a heritage-listed memorial at Ipswich Street, Esk, Somerset Region, Queensland, Australia. It was designed by George Brockwell Gill and built in 1920 by Frank Williams & Co. It is also known as Esk Memorial Park. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Esk Memorial Park was proclaimed a reserve for memorial purposes in 1979, but a First World War memorial has stood on the site, at the intersection of Highland and Ipswich Streets, since 1921.</p><br>
<p>The memorial was commissioned by the Esk Patriotic Committee on behalf of the Shire of Esk. Subscriptions commenced in 1916, and tenders were called in April 1919 by prominent Ipswich architect George Brockwell Gill. The foundation stone was laid on 30 November 1920, and the memorial was unveiled on 28 September 1921 by General Lachlan Chisholm Wilson. The masonry work was carried out by the Ipswich firm of Frank Williams & Co., and the art metalwork was supplied by Wunderlich Ltd of Sydney. It cost £885.</p><br>
<p>This was not the first war memorial in the shire. Colinton had erected an honour board at the local School of Arts building in 1916, and a stone memorial in 1917. The Toogoolawah War Memorial had been unveiled in March 1917.</p><br>
<p>In 1983 the memorial park was extended, and a stone memorial to Captain Patrick Logan, commandant of the Moreton Bay Penal Settlement who was murdered while exploring the Brisbane Valley in 1830, was erected in the park in 1984. The site was landscaped in 1985.</p><br>
<p>In 1988 some of the lettering on the First World War memorial was restored, and two plaques commemorating Australian sacrifice in post-1945 conflicts were affixed. In 1991 another plaque was attached, honouring those who fell in the Second World War.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Esk Memorial Park, which contains two stone monuments and landscaped paths and gardens, is located in the main street of Esk.</p><br>
<p>The First World War memorial consists of a sandstone plinth with four ionic corner pilasters and an entablature sheeted in bronze. Recessed into each of the four faces is a marble tiled panel with a bronze honour roll of 462 shire residents who enlisted together with the letters AIF and its emblem. The memorial sits on a stepped base of concrete aggregate.</p><br>
<p>Three bronze honour rolls bearing the names of 83 local men who fell during the First World War are fixed to the side and rear of the plinth. Four commemorative plaques bearing inscriptions 1939 – World War II 1945, 1914 – The Great War – In Honour Of Our Boys – 1919, Korea – Malaya, and Borneo – Vietnam are fixed to the front of the plinth.</p><br>
<p>Also located within the park is a memorial to Captain Logan. This consists of a single, upright sandstone block. Fixed to the northern face is a bronze plaque bearing an inscription in white lettering.</p><br>
<p>The park is landscaped with native trees and palms, and includes pathways, a barbecue area, seating and a children&#39;s playground.</p><br>

<p>Toogoolawah War Memorial is a heritage-listed memorial within McConnel Park at Cressbrook Street, Toogoolawah, Somerset Region, Queensland, Australia. The park was built by Frank Williams & Co. It is also known as McConnel Park. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The site was established as a public park and recreational facility c.1906, on land donated by James Henry McConnel of Cressbrook.</p><br>
<p>James&#39; father, David Cannon McConnel, was the first European to settle in the Brisbane Valley, taking up the Cressbrook run in 1841. In the late 1890s, JH McConnel established a condensed milk factory on Cressbrook Creek, and subdivided a large part of the run into dairy farms and the township of Cressbrook Creek (later Toogoolawah). Such private town subdivisions were not unusual in Queensland; other towns originating in this manner include Beaudesert, Nambour and Childers.</p><br>
<p>The McConnel family was deeply involved in the economic and social development of Toogoolawah, encouraging cultural, religious, sporting recreational and economic activity. They employed a contractor to build homes for their farmers; donated land for church purposes; and promoted a variety of district clubs, organisations and societies. Their establishment of a recreational facility in the centre of town remains testimony to the family&#39;s genuine concern for community welfare.</p><br>
<p>In 1919 a brass band was formed in Toogoolawah, and about this time a small bandstand, understood to have been provided by the McConnel family, was erected in the recreational ground. By 1924 the park also contained a tennis court and a public shower, water for which was supplied from a public well and windmill on the site. A cricket pitch was laid down c.1930, and a Guide hut and Scout den were erected in the 1970s.</p><br>
<p>The property was placed under trusteeship in 1926, and the f became the trustees in 1940.</p><br>
<p>The First World War stone memorial was commissioned by the citizens of Toogoolawah in 1916. It was crafted by Ipswich monumental masons Frank Williams & Co., who later supplied most of the First World War memorials in the district. The memorial, which cost £300, was unveiled on 31 March 1917 by Rev Chaplain Merrington. It was the second such memorial erected in Queensland, and the first outside a cemetery.</p><br>
<p>Originally the memorial enclosure was separated from the rest of the park by a picket fence. Gardens were laid out by 1921, and on Anzac Day that year a First World War gun was unveiled beside the memorial.</p><br>
<p>A metal plate, honouring 15 local citizens who gave their lives in the Second World War, was attached to the memorial in 1955. In 1988 two additional plaques were attached commemorating those who had served in post-1945 conflicts.</p><br>
<p>A cairn containing a time-capsule was placed in the park for the 1988 bi-centenary.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>McConnel Park is a 2.7 hectare site fronting Cressbrook Street to the east and Gunyah Street to the north, St Andrews Anglican Church precinct to the west and residential to the south.</p><br>
<p>Access is via a bitumen drive from the western end of Gunyah Street which encircles the sportsground around to the south west. A row of trees lines the drive to the east and the entrance is between square gateposts. Next to these is a single-storeyed weatherboard library with a corrugated iron skillion roof.

<p>Inverness is a heritage-listed detached house at 58 Fulham Street, Toogoolawah, Somerset Region, Queensland, Australia. It was designed by John Henry Burley and built in 1917 by D A Menzies. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Inverness was erected in 1917 for the Nestle & Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company Limited, as the manager&#39;s residence associated with their Toogoolawah condensed milk factory.</p><br>
<p>The enterprise had been established in 1898 by the McConnel family on part of their Cressbrook estate, and was known as the Cressbrook Dairy Companys Condensed Milk Factory. An early managers residence of timber and iron was erected adjacent to the factory about the same time.</p><br>
<p>The village of Cressbrook grew around the factory. With the arrival of the railway linking the town to Ipswich in 1904, the town expanded and was renamed Toogoolawah.</p><br>
<p>In 1907 the Nestle & Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company bought out the Cressbrook Dairy Company, comprising the condensed milk factory and at least eight Cressbrook farms. At the time, Queensland was the only place in the world in which Nestle invested in company-owned farms. The factory was expanded and the number of employees doubled.</p><br>
<p>Production rose during the First World War, and in 1917 a more prestigious company residence, Inverness, was erected on part of Nestles Bellambi Farm, on the hill adjacent to the township. The large home reflected the managers status in a prosperous factory town.</p><br>
<p>It was designed by Brisbane architect John Henry Burley. His use of asbestos cement roofing tiles and interior wall sheeting was amongst the earliest application of these products in Queensland.</p><br>
<p>The builder was local contractor DA Menzies, who erected most of the buildings constructed in Toogoolawah until the mid-1920s.</p><br>
<p>The residence was occupied in 1917 by Archibald C Munro, manager of the factory from 1909 to 1931, and his family. The Munros named the house Inverness, after the district in Scotland from which AC Munro&#39;s father had emigrated. They employed a permanent gardener, cook and housemaid.</p><br>
<p>Nestle closed the bulk of the factory in 1929, retaining some secondary production until December 1930. The farms were sold, and the population of Toogoolawah halved. The Munros left the manager&#39;s residence in 1931.</p><br>
<p>During the Second World War, Nestle stored their Brisbane records in the old factory, and female staff were accommodated at Inverness. In 1948 the house was sold. It remains a private residence on just over 4.8 hectares.</p><br>
<p>The factory was destroyed by fire in 1951, and the site was sold in 1956.</p><br>

<p>St Andrews Presbyterian Church is a heritage-listed former church building at Ipswich Street, Esk, Somerset Region, Queensland, Australia. It was built from 1876 to 1929. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 11 June 2003.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The former St Andrews Presbyterian Church is a simple timber building located on the south bank of Sandy Creek and was built in 1876 on the first site of the new settlement at Esk. The church site also contains a timber church hall and a manse.</p><br>
<p>The town of Esk stands on the former Mount Esk pastoral run which was taken up in 1842 by Gideon Scot and purchased by the Bigges of Mt Brisbane run in 1849. European settlement began with a teamsters&#39; camp at the crossing of Sandy (or Esk) Creek and the coach road north. This road became the main North Road from Ipswich to the Burnett. A township site was surveyed in 1872 on land excised from Mount Esk run and the first building known to have been constructed there was a hotel.</p><br>
<p>In 1873, stimulated by a copper mining boom at nearby Biarra, plans for a township were lodged and a postal receiving office opened. The township was officially named "Gallanani", though more commonly called Sandy Creek or Mount Esk, and quickly developed to include a range of government and commercial buildings and houses. David and Mary McConnel of Cressbrook, two of the first European settlers in the Brisbane Valley, donated 20 acres of land for the construction of a Presbyterian Church to mark their silver wedding anniversary. They purchased, cleared and fenced the land. Mary McConnel, in particular, was a staunch Presbyterian and she and her family encouraged the establishment and support of other churches in the Valley. Alexander Raff, Bigge&#39;s financial manager, and other local graziers donated money towards the building of St Andrews. The gift of land and capital for the establishment of a church by local pastoralists reflects the relationship between early pastoral stations and the local settlements that served and traded with them reflecting a landowner and village pattern inherited from Europe.</p><br>
<p>The land for the new church was in a choice position, being at the corner of Ipswich and Middle Streets in the commercial centre of the new township and close to the Sandy Creek crossing. A church was built to hold a congregation of 120 and a timber manse was also constructed. The church was built in 1875 and on 12 February 1876 the Reverend David Watt, who had travelled from Scotland to serve as minister, conducted the first recorded service at St Andrew&#39;s. As it was the first church to be built in the area it served at first as a Union Church accommodating all denominations. The area developed quickly and within five years had five separate preaching areas and was 40 miles long.</p><br>
<p>In 1884, two sawmills were opened and in 1886 the Brisbane Valley railway reached Esk, though it was located away from the established settlement. In time the commercial centre of town shifted to be closer to the railway station and yards. Most buildings moved to the northern bank of Sandy Creek or were built there, including the Roman Catholic (1884/1905) and Anglican (1889) churches. The Methodist church built on the south side was moved to Toogoolawah in 1906 and the current church is on the northern side of the creek. Now only the church, school and some houses survive marking the first settlement on the southern bank of Sandy Creek. Later churches were built on the opposite bank, nearer to the later settlement.</p><br>
<p>Although the 1890s were a hard time for Esk due to flooding and the general financial recession of that decade, the 1900s were a period of growth. Dairying in the area expanded and a butter factory was built. In 1900 the church and manse were renovated and by 1908 the Sunday school had an enrolment of 91 pupils and a Women&#39;s Guild was formed. Around this time the population of Esk passed 600. In 1913, the town was officially renamed Esk.</p><br>
<p>The date of construction of the timber church hall is unknown, but by 1929 there was a hall in existence on the site that was used as a Sunday school and for a variety of social activities. It is locally believed that the building was formerly the billiard room of the Commercial Hotel in Esk. It has been extended at the eastern end. The manse was sold for removal in 1947 and a replacement building was constructed in 1948. In 1951 the land to Main Street was sold.</p><br>
<p>The church was considerably extended at the eastern end, almost doubling its capacity and suggesting a marked increase in the congregation. The extension can clearly be traced in joints to the walls and in the floorboards.</p><br>
<p>The former church is now privately owned and the altar has been removed.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The former St Andrews church is a rectangular timber building set on low stumps and stands on a prominent site on the main Brisbane Valley Highway facing Middle Street. The hall is on the northern part of the site also facing Middle Street. There is a garage and an outhouse behind the hall. The manse stands to the west side of the complex facing the Brisbane Valley Highway (formerly known as Ipswich Road). The site is grassed and fenced with a plain timber and wire fence and there is a gate connecting the manse garden to the church site.</p><br>
<p>The church is a landmark driving southwards out of Esk because of its location immediately opposite the crossing and its plain but distinctive form. Driving into town from the South it is the first church in a fine precinct of historical timber churches, associated buildings and mature trees on both sides of the Creek crossing.</p><br>
<p>The church has a central porch with a scalloped bargeboard and lancet windows reached by timber steps to each side. The body of the church is lit by lancet windows and there are lancet windows flanking the porch and a louvred lancet high under the roof. This is gabled and clad in corrugated iron sheeting with a belfry on the roof ridge. The church has wide diagonal beaded boards on eaves, soffit and doors.</p><br>
<p>Scissor trusses support the roof and the ceiling is lined with diagonal beaded boarding. The walls are lined with horizontal beaded boards and clearly shows the evidence of extension. The sanctuary is one step up from the body of the church and there is a vestry behind the altar area. The altar has been removed, but the building currently retains the rail and lectern and simple painted pews. There is an honour board.</p><br>
<p>The church hall is a smaller building, also of weatherboard, with a gabled roof clad in corrugated iron. It has a porch and narrow rectangular windows shaded with hoods. The rear has been extended with part of a building, possibly recycled from elsewhere and incorporating a verandah and a large fixed window. This rear section, which does not contain windows along the side, may be the recycled billiard hall of local memory. The interior of the main room of the hall is lined with fibrous cement sheeting and cover strips. The floor is of narrow tongue and groove boards.</p><br>
<p>There is a weatherboard garage with a gabled roof behind the hall.</p><br>
<p>The manse is located at the corner of the black facing Ipswich Street. It is a weatherboard building on low stumps with a hipped corrugated iron roof. The windows are casements with horizontal glazing bars and there is a small porch.</p><br>

<p>The place is important in demonstrating the evolution or pattern of Queensland&#39;s history.</p><br>
<p>The former St Andrews Church is associated with the early development of the Brisbane Valley and of Esk in particular. It was constructed in 1875 on land donated by the McConnel family, important early pastoralists in the district, and was built with financial assistance from the McConnels and other local landholders. Its location indicates the position of the first township at a dray route and near a river crossing before the arrival of the railway in 1886 caused a relocation of the town centre. Being the first church in Esk, its initial use as a Union church demonstrates cooperation between different denominations common in the early stages of establishing townships. The extension carried out to accommodate an expanding congregation also reflects the development of Esk.</p><br>

<p>Castleholme Homestead is a heritage-listed homestead at Bryden-Crossdale Road, Bryden, Somerset Region, Queensland, Australia. It was built from to the 1950s. It is also known as Conroy&#39;s Farm. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Castleholme was established in the 1870s, following Hugh Conroy&#39;s selection and purchase of the then 257 hectare property in 1875. By 1916 a small cedar dwelling at Castleholme had become a rambling, fourteen-roomed house with wide verandahs. By that time the grounds included flowerbeds, shrubs and shade trees, and substantial outbuildings, and the principal activity was dairying. Castleholme remained in the Conroy family until acquired in 1978 by the Queensland Government, as part of the Wivenhoe Dam reclamation area. That part of the property not inundated was leased by the Queensland Institute of Technology (QIT) for use as an experimental building station. The Castleholme homestead complex was identified by the QIT as a conservation area and the interwar cottage was renovated as caretaker accommodation. The QIT (now Queensland University of Technology) maintains the grounds, but not the buildings.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Castleholme consists of the remains of a homestead, slab barn, cottage, stables and associated farm buildings and stockyards with a number of mature trees. It is located in the Brisbane Valley on a northeastern slope, is visible from the Bryden-Crossdale Road and borders the Bryden Catholic Cemetery. The domestic structures are located in a group to the north with the outbuildings forming a southern boundary. Other structures include the remains of a timber laundry shed and a bakehouse, post and rail fencing, a calf pen and cow bails.</p><br>

<p>Gialova Lagoon  – also known as Divari, from the Latin word vivarium, meaning "fishery" – is a brackish body of water in the municipality of Pylos-Nestor, Greece, about 8 km north of Pylos. The lagoon, together with Voidokilia Bay, belongs to a unique ecosystem which constitutes a protected zone, in terms of both natural and cultural heritage. From the natural point of view, the entire area, together with Navarino Bay and the island of Sphacteria, forms part of the network Natura 2000 and has been named a Zone of Special Protection, with code GR2550008, and an Area of EU Importance, with code GR2550004.</p><br>
<h2>Fauna</h2><br>
<p>It serves as a wildlife habitat, particularly for migratory birds, which stop here first on their way from Africa to Northern Europe. A multitude of mammals, reptiles, amphibians and fish live there. Prominent among them is the African Chamelaeon, which is threatened by extinction. It is thought that this species came to the region during the Roman period, as it appears also in other regions of the Pax Romana, such as the Iberian peninsula, Malta and Cyprus.</p><br>
<h2>Archaeology</h2><br>
<p>The region has been proclaimed a zone of archaeological protection. It contains unique sites of archaeological interest, such as the tomb of Thrasymedes at Voidokoilia, the remains of Classical Pylos at Koryphasion, Palaiokastro or Palaionavarino, the cave of Nestor. In the 1960s at Yalova proper at the site called Divari, N. Yalouris, then director of the local archaeological service, excavated a Hellenistic necropolis. The excavations revealed several unspoiled shaft graves. Apart from the skeletal material, the graves were full of grave goods, mainly pottery, as well as coins, objects made of various metals and jewellery. Among these finds stand out a delta-shaped askos, known also as “hot-water bottle”, a clay sieve, a small aryballos made of faience and fish-plates. These finds are kept in the Archaeological Museum of Pylos.</p><br>
<h2>Threats and protection</h2><br>
<p>The lagoon had been endangered in the recent past due to plans to divert the rivers, and other sources of water that feed into the ecosystem and turn the area into arable land, but is now protected.</p><br>

<p>Turtle and Shark  is a place with association to an important legend in the culture of Samoa. It is located on the southern shore of Tutuila, the largest island of American Samoa, a short way south of the village of Vaitogi. The feature known as Turtle and Shark is a U-shaped cove, set between Vaitogi Beach to the north and a basalt cliff to the south. The cove is about 72 m measured from east to west and 78.5 m measured from north to south. The topography of the cove is such that it is frequently subjected to high-energy wave action, with spray thrown high into the air. The cove is believed by the Samoan populace to be the location of the climactic scene of the Turtle and Shark legend, one of the island&#39;s best-known and popular tales.</p><br>
<p>The earliest documented form of the Turtle and Shark legend was published in 1884 by a missionary:</p><br>
<p>A story is told of a woman and her child, who in a time of great scarcity were</p><br>
<p>neglected by the family. One day they cooked some wild yams, but never offered</p><br>
<p>her a share. She was vexed, asked the child to follow her, and when they reached</p><br>
<p>a precipice on the rocky coast, seized the child and jumped over. It is said they</p><br>
<p>were changed into turtles, and afterwards came in that form at the call of the</p><br>
<p>people of the village.</p><br>
<p>By the early 20th century, the tale had been altered to involve a ritual for avoiding famine, and had become strongly attached to the cove at Vaitogi. The village was described by anthropologist Margaret Mead as the site of the "famous" legend.</p><br>
<p>The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<p>The Temples Historic District encompasses a distinctive collection of Greek Revival houses on Madison Street in the rural village of North Anson, Maine. Built between about 1844 and 1858 were four houses in a row, three of which exhibit classical Greek temple-front facades, and assemblage that is unique in the rural interior of the state. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The village of North Anson is located on the north bank of the Carrabassett River, shortly before it empties into the Kennebec River in southern Somerset County, Maine. Madison Street extends eastward from the village center. On the south side of Madison Street stand four houses that are remarkably similar in construction and style. Three stand to the west of Winter Street, and one to the east. All are 1-1/2 stories in height, with wood framing and clapboard siding. All have a front-facing gable roof, and three of them have a Greek temple portico supported by three Doric columns. The two westernmost houses are virtually identical, with a detailed Doric entablature encircling the eave and an ornamented Greek Revival entrance surround. The house at the eastern end is similar to these, but has less detailing on the entablature and entrance surround. The fourth house lacks a temple front, although it may at one time have had one. It has thick pilasters at the corners and a simple entablature, and is fronted by a Colonial Revival porch. Its front facade is also finished in flushboard, and there is an Italianate round-arch window in the gable.</p><br>
<p>The exact date of construction of the houses is not known, nor is the identity of the (likely single) builder. They were probably built between about 1844 and 1852, late in the Greek Revival period. The house with Italianate features was owned by a carpenter, Ebenezer F. Witherill, and the other three were owned by businessmen and merchants. It is surmised that Witherill built all four houses, and added the Italianate features to his own house (removing its temple front) to showcase architectural fashion trends.</p><br>
<p>The Hoher Ochsenkopf  is a mountain in the Northern Black Forest in the municipality of Forbach in south Germany. At it is the highest point in Forbach and also in the county of Rastatt. The mountain, whose domed summit or kuppe was already a nature reserve lies in the Black Forest National Park which was founded in 2014. Its name  recalls its former use as wood pasture.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The Hoher Ochsenkopf lies about six kilometres northeast of the highest mountain in the Northern Black Forest, the Hornisgrinde, which is 108 metres higher. Like the Badener Höhe three kilometres north it is part of an eastern spur of the main chain of the northern Black Forest, which runs between the Upper Rhine Plain and the Murg valley. This spur is bounded by two western side valleys of the Murg, the valley of the Hundsbach with the Forbach village of Hundsbach in the south and the Schwarzenbach valley with the village of Herrenwies in the north and the Schwarzenbach Dam in the northeast. The Hoher Ochsenkopf is linked to the Mittlerer Ochsenkopf ("middle oxen-peak", 1,004.9 m) to the south over the Kegelplatz, a 977-metre-high saddle. The 964-metre-high Vorderer Ochsenkopf ("anterior oxen-peak") adjoins the Mittlerer Ochsenkopf to the south and, further east, is the Nägeliskopf (994 m). In the northwest, the 948-metre-high saddle of Dreikohlplatten links the Hoher Ochsenkopf to the Mehliskopf (1008 m).</p><br>
<h2>Hoher Ochsenkopf Nature Reserve</h2><br>
<p>The flat and once deforested domed summit or kuppe, then a typical grinde of the Northern Black Forest, was used in past centuries as pasture. The forest recolonised the area after grazing ended. In 1970 a Bannwald forest, 41.1 hectares in area, was declared around the summit and, in 1975, it was turned into a nature reserve. In 1986, in order to protect the capercaillie, a bird reserve, 600 ha in area, was declared around the Hoher Ochsenkopf. In 2000 the Bannwald was extended to an area of 100.7 ha and complemented by the surrounding, 427 ha of Schonwald, a form of semi-protected forest, called the Nägeliskopf.</p><br>
<p>Numerous rare and endangered animal and plant species have settled here, including the three-toed woodpecker, which had been extinct for many years in the Black Forest.</p><br>
<h2>Development</h2><br>
<p>The Hoher Ochsenkopf is accessible on foot from Hundseck on the Black Forest High Road over a roughly three-kilometre-long ridgeway or after a steep climb from Herrenwies or Hundsbach-Aschenplatz/Bridge along the Kirchweg.</p><br>
<p>The start point is the östlichen Dreikohlplatten. From there a path marked by blue and white wooden posts leads initially gently uphill. Later it becomes unmarked and climbs steeply uphill to the point, where there used to be a seven-metre-high observation tower, built in 1902, that was replaced in 1927 by a 12-metre-high stone tower. After a lightning strike, it was blown up by the Technisches Hilfswerk in 1971. Even today the rubble pile of stone blocks is still visible. The path continues uphill towards the Teufelskamin ("Devil&#39;s Chimney"), an open fault in the Bunter sandstone that appears as a 20-metre-deep cave.</p><br>
<p>Around the Hoher Ochsenkopf runs the almost level Becker Way (Beckerweg), a circular walk re-established by the Black Forest Club branches of Hornisgrinde, Achern, Bühl and Baden-Baden in 2003. The path is named after Daniel Becker from Frankfurt, who stayed in the old Kurhaus at Hundseck more than 100 years ago and explored the region around the Hoher Ochsenkopf.</p><br>
<p>The Mayes-Hutton House is a historic house in Columbia, Maury County, Tennessee, USA.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built in 1854 for Samuel Mayes, who sold his slaves as he believed slavery would come to an end, and re-invested his money in this house.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The original portion of the house has a large 54 foot by 58 foot section with an 18 by 18 foot attached wing on the west of the back side. The brown brick house sits on a stucco-covered limestone foundation. The front of the house, probably heavily modified in the 1870s, includes four fluted Corinthian columns supporting a pediment, and a parapet, presenting a massive front facade. The interior is less ostentatious. but well designed, with a central hall that continues through the house, a free-standing stair, and balcony.</p><br>
<h2>Heritage significance</h2><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places for its architectural qualities on July 8, 1970.</p><br>
<p>Highfields was the home of Charles and Anne Lindbergh, the famous aviators. It was the location of the Lindbergh kidnapping, after which it was turned into a rehabilitation center. The home was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>The Lindberghs built Highfields in 1931 on a secluded spot of the Sourland Mountain so as to escape the spotlight brought on by their celebrity status. After his pioneering solo flight from New York to Paris in 1927, four million people had attended the ticker tape parade in Charles Lindberghs honor, and he had received two million congratulatory telegrams, making him one of the most famous Americans of the century. The Sourland Mountain location, while secluded, afforded easy access by air and automobile to the Lindberghs offices in New York City and to the laboratories of nearby Princeton University, to which they had been granted access.</p><br>
<h2>Lindbergh kidnapping</h2><br>
<p>The home was the site of one of the most notorious crimes of the 20th century, the Lindbergh kidnapping, often called the "Crime of the Century". On the evening of March 1, 1932, the Lindberghs&#39; oldest son, 20-month-old Charles Lindbergh, Jr., was abducted by means of a ladder from a second floor window of Highfields, aided by a warped shutter which could not be closed.</p><br>
<h2>Rehabilitation center</h2><br>
<p>The headquarters of the search for Charles Lindbergh, Jr. was in the garage of Highfields. After Lindbergh identified the body of his son they left the house never to spend another night there, returning to Annes family home in Englewood, New Jersey. The attention from the trial led the Lindberghs to a self-imposed exile in Europe from 1935 to 1939. In June 1933, Anne wrote that the house would be turned over to a board of trustees, and she named it "Highfields," saying the name carried some secret meaning. One biographer has speculated that it commemorates the young Lindberghs special greeting to his father.</p><br>
<p>In 1941 the home was conveyed to the State of New Jersey by the Highfields Association, in memory of Charles Lindbergh. It has been used since July 1, 1952 as a juvenile rehabilitation center by the New Jersey Department of Corrections.</p><br>
<p>The Cross Keys Inn is a Grade II listed public house in Midford Road in the Odd Down area of Bath in the English ceremonial county of Somerset. It is now a free house and restaurant and is a Grade II listed building, having been added to the register on 11 August 1972.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The current building was erected in the late 17th or early 18th century. The site was owned by Bath Priory until the Dissolution of the Monasteries. It was then owned by Hugh Sexey. An inn is known to have stood on the site in 1718 when it is described in a document as "a new erected tenement or dwelling house...now a Public House on Odwood Down". At that time, the lease cost forty-two pounds and there was an annual rent charge of one pound ten shillings. In the mid 18th century the lease was held by Ralph Allen who was the postmaster of Bath and made a fortune by reforming the postal delivery system. The inn was situated strategically on a crossroads, with major roads going to Bristol, Warminster, Bath and Wells. It served as a coaching inn.</p><br>
<p>The front of the building was altered in the 19th century. It is now a free house and restaurant.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The building has late seventeenth century or early eighteenth century origins, and was extensively modified in the second half of the nineteenth century. It was built out of squared off rubble stone and has a roof of Roman tiles. Originally the building was a single room deep with two gable ends and a stair at the centre of the rear wall. It had coped front and end gables, with cross saddle-stones, and an ashlar chimney stack at each end. Since then, right and left wings have been added to the building at the rear and an ashlar extension with entrance added at the front. The building consists of three storeys and a cellar, the front extension is two storeys high and has a flat roof. There is a central tall chimney stack at the front, between the two gable ends. The interior of the building is reported to have an original staircase and fireplace.</p><br>
<p>Walnut Grove is a historic house on a Southern plantation in Mount Pleasant, Maury County, Tennessee, USA.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was completed in 1858, replacing an earlier house that burned and was torn down in 1857. It was designed in the Greek Revival architectural style by Nathan Vaught, a local master builder.</p><br>
<p>The house was built for Sabrina (Sabra) Boddie Lawrence, who inherited a large plantation and the previous house in 1841. She personally managed the plantation and at the start of the American Civil War was a prominent local landowner, owning more slaves and almost as much land as any other person in the county.</p><br>
<p>After Lawrence died in 1867, her heirs sold or leased the house for an Episcopal school for boys around 1880, known has Otey school; the house was used for a few years as a dormitory. It was sold in 1888 and returned to use as a private home. A detached kitchen still exists on the property, built prior to 1826 and surviving the 1857 fire; according to local lore it is the oldest brick building in the Mount Pleasant area.</p><br>
<h2>Heritage significance</h2><br>
<p>It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since March 8, 1984, significant as an example of late 1850s Greek Revival style and its association with Lawrence and with Nathan Vaught.</p><br>
<p>The Horace Anthony House is an historic residence located in Camanche, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Horace Anthony was a prominent citizen in 19th-century Camanche. He was born in Livingston County, New York in 1816, and married Elizabeth McCloskey in 1840 in Davenport, Iowa. Together they raised nine children. Anthony owned the saw mill and the lumber yard in town, and was one of Camanche&#39;s wealthiest citizens. He was influential in the founding of Camanche Baptist Church in 1851. Anthony built this house the following year and it remained in the family for 107 years. He was an abolitionist and his house served as a stop in the Underground Railroad. Anthony was also a staunch Republican and served in the Iowa House of Representatives from 1858 to 1860. He served as the Camanche Recorder Treasurer from 1863 to 1865. He then served on the Camanche Board of Supervisors from 1867 to 1868 and was its chairman in 1868.</p><br>
<p>Anthonys son William joined him in the lumber business in 1859 when Horace became sick. The following year they had to rebuild the business after a tornado struck Camanche. The house was not damaged. A fire that caused $250,000 in 1893 destroyed most of the business and caused W.R. Anthony and Company to go out of business. Horaces son Frederick took over the title of the house when his father became ill. Elizabeth Anthony died in 1883 and Frederick died in 1888. Horace died on May 16, 1890. Frederick left the house to his wife Ella and their children Maude and Floyd. Floyd took possession of the house after his mother died in 1938. After his death his wife Agnes sold the house to LeRoy and Doris Goddard in 1958.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Horace Anthony House is a 2½-story brick dwelling built on a limestone foundation. The brick was locally produced. The main block is a cube-shape that measures roughly 36 by and it has a full basement. There is a single-story wing on the back, and a porch on the east side and one on the west side. Both the main block and the back wing are capped with a hipped roof. The main block has a flat deck on top of the roof. It also exhibits wide overhanging eaves with a bracketed cornice from the Italianate style. The pedimented hoods located over the windows and doors, and the main entry with its classical detailing and side lights and transom are characteristic of the Greek Revival style. The ceilings on the first floor are 9.5 ft high. The two windows in the front of the house go from ceiling to floor. In the center of the main block is a spiral staircase that rise from the maiin floor to the roof deck.</p><br>
<p>The house opens directly onto a city park rather than a street. The land for the park was donated to Camanche by Horace Anthony when he platted the land around 1852. The Anthony family mowed the grass in the park into the late 1940s. The city added the playground equipment in the 1970s.</p><br>
<p>S 10  is the modern name given to a monumental ancient Egyptian tomb complex at Abydos in Egypt. The tomb is most likely royal and dates to the mid-13th Dynasty. Finds from nearby tombs indicate that S10 suffered extensive state-sanctioned stone and grave robbing during the Second Intermediate Period, only a few decades after its construction, as well as during the later Roman and Coptic periods. These finds also show that S10 was used for an actual burial and belonged to a king "Sobekhotep", now believed to be pharaoh Sobekhotep IV . According to the Egyptologist Josef W. Wegner who excavated S10, the tomb might originally have been capped by a pyramid, although Aidan Dodson states that it is still unclear wether S10 was a pyramid or a mastaba.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The tomb structure is part of a royal necropolis dating back to the late Middle Kingdom – Second Intermediate Period, which is located close to the ancient town of Wah-Sut, next to the much bigger funerary complex of Senusret III of the 12th Dynasty, at the foot of the so-called Mountain of Anubis, a natural hill in the form of a pyramid. It was first excavated in 1901-2 by Ayrton, Weigall and Petrie, who found it heavily looted and disturbed.</p><br>
<p>The complex consists of a rectangular brick walled structure, some 40 x in size, described by the first excavators as a mastaba, who however gave no evidence supporting this classification. At the north side there is an entrance to a system of underground and limestone paved corridors leading to the burial chamber that was found heavily destroyed. More recent excavations discovered fragments of a canopic jar, demonstrating that the tomb was once used. There is evidence that the tomb was already heavily looted in the Second Intermediate Period. A massive (60-ton) red quartzite sarcophagus quarried at El-Gabal el-Ahmar near the modern Cairo, most likely originally located in this tomb, was found in a later royal tomb in the same necropolis (CS6). Planks from the cedar coffin from tomb S10 were reused by king Senebkay for his own neighboring burial (tomb CS9). The coffin was inscribed on the outside with Coffin Texts spells 777-785. Only few parts of the texts survived, but coffins with these spells are typical for the late Middle Kingdom at Abydos. On the fragments there appears the name of the king Sobekhotep.</p><br>
<p>Nothing was found of the superstructure, but it is possible that there was a pyramid on top. Several fragments of a funerary stele were also found on site, however the stele was most likely reused in the adjacent intrusive tomb of king Senebkay, and none of the fragments were found in context. On the fragments of the stela appears again the name Sobekhotep.</p><br>
<h2>Attribution</h2><br>
<p>Since the discovery of the tomb and until 2015, it was unknown who was buried here. Excavations in 2003 and in 2014 made it very likely that the structure was once a royal tomb. At the latter date, during the excavation directed by Josef W. Wegner of the University of Pennsylvania, a fragment of a funerary tomb stela bearing a relief naming a king Sobek was found inside the enclosure, on the eastern side of the complex, close to where a small funerary chapel might once have existed.</p><br>
<p>While in early press reports, published just after the discovery, king Sobekhotep I was named as the possible owner of the tomb, further analyses now indicate that this might belong to Sobekhotep IV instead.</p><br>
<p>Indeed, not only do the fragments of wooden sarcophagus uncovered indicate a late Middle Kingdom date for the construction of S10, but its size means that its owner would have had to reign for long enough to complete it. This only leaves Sobekhotep III, IV, and VI as possibilities, with Sobekhotep IV being the most likely as he enjoyed the longest reign of these three kings. In addition, Sobekhotep IV is the only one of these kings for whom it is known with certainty that he undertook other works in Abydos. As a corollary, the nearby and slightly larger tomb S9 most likely belongs to Sobekhotep IV&#39;s predecessor and brother, Neferhotep I.</p><br>
<p>Lake Rose is a dry lake in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It has a surface area of approximately 25 acre, and is situated in Fairmount Township. Lake Rose is mostly dry and closely resembles a swamp. Its main inflow is the spillway from Lake Jean. Lake Rose was originally constructed by a squatter named Jesse Dodson. Wildlife, including birds, butterflies, and dragonflies, has been observed near the lake. A number of hiking trails are also in its vicinity.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The main outflow of Lake Rose is an unnamed tributary of Kitchen Creek. Lake Rose is entirely within the United States Geological Survey quadrangle of Red Rock. It has an area of 25 acre.</p><br>
<p>Lake Rose is mostly dry, but there is a small pool of water in it. It more closely resembles a swamp than it does a lake. In 1990, Northeastern Geology stated that Lake Rose "appears on the map but not in reality".</p><br>
<p>Lake Rose was undeveloped in the early 1960s.</p><br>
<h2>History and recreation</h2><br>
<p>Lake Rose was entered into the Geographic Names Information System on August 2, 1979. Its identifier in the Geographic Names Information System is 1185462.</p><br>
<p>Lake Rose was built by Jesse Dodson, a squatter who made bedsteads out of cherry trees, and built the lake as a log splash pond.</p><br>
<p>In 1950, some studies were being done by the Division of Dams on dams or dam repairs at Lake Rose.</p><br>
<p>The Ganoga Glen Trail in Ricketts Glen State Park passes near Lake Rose, as does the Highland Trail.</p><br>
<h2>Biology</h2><br>
<p>A Menziesia pilosa shrub was once observed in the vicinity of Lake Rose. Highbrush blueberry also occurs in the vicinity of the lake.</p><br>
<p>Certain types of wildlife can occur in the vicinity of Lake Rose, depending on the time of year. Birds in this area include white-throated sparrows, mallard ducks, and evening grosbeaks. Insect species include monarch butterflies, sulfur butterflies, and various species of dragonfly. The lake was stocked with fish as late as 1980.</p><br>
<p>The Thomas Hobbs Jr. House is a historic house on Wells Street in North Berwick, Maine. Built in 1763, it is one of the town&#39;s oldest surviving houses, and was for many years a tavern and social center of the community. it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Hobbs House is located on the south side of Wells Street (Maine State Route 9), just east of its junction with Elm Street (Maine State Route 4) and west of the Great Works River in North Berwick&#39;s village center. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, five bays wide, with a side gable roof, central chimney, clapboard siding, and a fieldstone foundation. The main entrance is sheltered by a small hip-roofed portico that is a later addition. The building has no significant styling: its upper windows butting against the eave in a typical Georgian fashion, and it has simple narrow corner boards and window trim. A single-story ell extends to the rear of the main block.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1763 for Thomas Hobbs Jr., a veteran of the French and Indian War. It became known locally as The Hostelry, because Hobbs provided food and lodging to travelers. Hobbs and his descendants were also active in local civic affairs, serving in the state legislature, and in the 1819 constitutional convention convened to draft Maine&#39;s constitution in advance of statehood. The house is now a private residence.</p><br>
<p>The Waterloo County Gaol, located in Kitchener, Ontario, is a retired prison and historic site. Constructed in 1852, it is the oldest government building still-standing in the city. The Governor&#39;s House, home of the "gaoler", in a mid-Victorian Italian Villa style, was added in 1878. Both have been on Canadian Register of Historic Places since 27 March 2008. Both buildings have been extensively restored. They are located at 73 Queen Street North, Kitchener, Ontario beside the new Court House.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The precursory requirement for the creation of a county in the 1850s was the presence of a local gaol and courthouse. In deciding the seat of Waterloo County, a seat for which Berlin and Galt were both competing, the presence of such buildings were taken into account. Because Berlin, Ontario (now Kitchener) had a jail and courthouse, the city became the county seat.</p><br>
<p>The gaol had been constructed on land donated by hotel owner Frederick Gaukel. Work began in 1852, the year of the inception of Waterloo County, Ontario. It was designed by the architectural firm Mellish and Russell of Brantford, Ontario who used a Classic Revival style. The cost of the construction in 1852 was £4875. For over a century after its completion, the gaol was administered municipally, although this changed after 1968, as the government reformed the administrative system of Ontarios prisons. The addition of the governors house in 1878, designed by architect David W. Gingerich, served as the gaolors residence for the next century of the facilitys operation.</p><br>
<p>Closed in 1978 to be replaced by the Waterloo Regional Detention Center, the building is now a heritage site. After the closing, the building was the subject of a 2002 feasibility study aimed at converting the former prison into an affordable housing project.</p><br>
<p>Both the house and gaol reopened after major renovations. The section that was the gaol now houses courtrooms while the area that was the house is now the location of the offices of the court and other agencies.</p><br>
<p>The Barn at Kings Highway  is a historic landmark in the town of Westport, Connecticut. It is located at 57 Kings Highway North on privately owned land. Opened in the early 1900s by Ann Sheffer and her family, The Barn has served as a meeting place and social hub for Westporters of all generations. It is a contributing property of the Kings Highway North Historic District which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. Its early years featured its use as a place for luxurious parties thrown by the aristocrat members of Westport&#39;s population.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Early History</h3><br>
<p>In its early years, it featured its use as a place for luxurious parties thrown by the aristocrat members of Westport&#39;s population.</p><br>
<h3>Serving as a speakeasy</h3><br>
<p>During the Prohibition era, The Barn served as a speakeasy for broadway actresses and actors to use when they journeyed to the suburbs. As Prohibition winded down, so did the use of The Barn.</p><br>
<h3>Disrepair</h3><br>
<p>Because Prohibition winded down, its owners allowed it to fall into disrepair, and it was abandoned from 1933 to 2014</p><br>
<h2>New Age</h2><br>
<p>In the past few years, a grassroots movement led by Alfred Puchala, current owner of 57 Kings Highway North, has seen an outpouring of support from Westport residents in refurbishing the barn for current use. His efforts have led to clubs from the local high school (Staples High School) using The Barn as a meeting place, as well as its recognition by organizations such as Historic Barns of Connecticut. Recently, a group of seniors from Staples High School have become the de facto leaders of the barn. They have led the clean up of The Barn to return it to its former self. The group was recognized by Westport&#39;s mayor at Town Hall for their efforts to restore The Barn.</p><br>
<p>The Hendren Building is a historic commercial building in the Nob Hill neighborhood of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Built in 1946, it is one of the city&#39;s most notable examples of Streamline Moderne architecture, and representative of the boom in automobile-oriented commercial development in the immediate post-war period. The building was one of the last completed works by architect T. Charles Gaastra. It was added to the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties in 1999 and the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Hendren Building was constructed in 1946 by J.L. Hendren, a local grocery store owner who saw the potential for further commercial development in the rapidly growing Nob Hill area. At the time, the city was expanding further away from the downtown core, and residents of the new developments wanted shops and businesses nearer their homes. In particular, Hendren believed a building containing doctors offices and a pharmacy would be welcomed by area residents. Hendren commissioned T. Charles Gaastra to design the building, which ended up being one of the architects last works before his death in 1947. Supposedly the Streamline Moderne design was based on a photograph Hendren had seen of a building on a similarly shaped lot somewhere in the Midwest. Construction began in early 1946 and lasted approximately nine months.</p><br>
<p>Hendrens venture proved successful, and the property was fully leased within a year. The initial tenants of the building included a pharmacy, an electrical supply company, a luggage shop, and doctors offices. The Hendren Building has housed a number of businesses over the years but remains in use for its original purpose as of 2015. The building was remodeled in the early 2000s, removing the black Carrara Glass cladding among other modifications.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Hendren Building is a one-story, flat-roofed commercial block located on the acute corner formed by Dartmouth Drive and Monte Vista Boulevard. The building is V-shaped with wings extending along both streets, containing a number of small commercial spaces. The building&#39;s strongly horizontal lines and rounded corner entrance are typical of the Streamline Moderne architectural style. The exterior was originally faced with pink stone and black Carrara Glass, though the latter was removed in the early 2000s. Large block letters above the roof line spell the name of the building.</p><br>
<p>The Hochkopf is a mountain in the county of Rastatt in the Black Forest in Germany with height of. It is located northeast of the nearby Hornisgrinde, the highest mountain of the Northern Black Forest. About 700 metres away to the north, as part of the same mountain ridge, is the Pfrimmackerkopf. The plateau with its semi-protected forest or Schonwald, is a grinde, an open highland landscape typical of the Northern Black Forest, and is part of the Bühlertal conservation area.</p><br>
<h2>Tourism</h2><br>
<p>On the north and west sides of the Hochkopfs, at height of about 900 metres, runs the B 500 federal highway, the Black Forest High Road, from Hundseck to Unterstmatt, two former sites of highland hotels on the holiday route. From there the mountain is linked by footpaths. At Unterstmatt, on the southern slopes of the mountain is a ski piste with a lift, the Hochkopf Ski Lift (Skilift Hochkopf).</p><br>
<p>Nizamabad Fort, also known as Nizamabad Quilla, is a fort in Nizamabad in the Indian state of Telangana. It was built in 10th century by Rashtrakuta Kings and is situated in the southwest of the city. which is 2 kilometers from Gandhi Chowk.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The fort is said to have been built by Rashtrakuta Kings in around 10th century. Later it was occupied and renovated by Kakatiyas and ruled it. In 1311, the fort was occupied by Alauddin Khalji who was the second ruler of the Khalji dynasty reigning from 1296 to 1316 and later it was captured by Musunuri Nayaks who revolted against Delhi Sultanates and eliminated them out of Telugu land. Qutub Shahis and then the Asaf Jahis who were the Nizams of Hyderabad, who then renovated the fort.</p><br>
<h2>The Fort</h2><br>
<p>The fort has a large area surrounded by masonry walls which has huge bastions at the corners which resembles Muslim architecture. There is a huge compound inside the walls of the fort which houses a mosque, a school and on the way up to the fort there is a jail which was used by the Asaf Jahi&#39;s dynasty. As visitors go up, they can get a glimpse of the scenery around and a view of the entire city of Nizamabad. There is a temple situated on the top. The Department of Tourism has spent Rs 9.30 lakhs for various development activities which include strengthening of the guard rooms, fiber roof path, toilets and urinals etc. in the year 2001.</p><br>
<h2>Compound</h2><br>
<p>The fort compound houses an old mosque which was built by Nizam and a borstal school of Jail Dept. both located near the entrance gate. On the left side of the fort is a small lake, it is believed that there is a secret tunnel near the lake which was built by the orders of Nizam.

<h2>The Dargah</h2><br>
<p>There is a small dargah on the rear side of the temple on the top of the fort. Sunni Muslim devotees used to visit the place on an yearly basis to celebrate the Urs festival, however since recent years there has been no visitors and the tombs are damaged due to harsh atmosphere.</p><br>
<p>The Coalgate School Gymnasium-Auditorium is a historic school building in Coalgate, Oklahoma. It is located at the intersection of Fox and Frey streets in Coalgate, Oklahoma</p><br>
<p>and is one of several properties in Southeastern Oklahoma constructed by the Works Progress Administration during the Great Depression. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The gymnasium-auditorium was built by unemployed coal miners who lived in the Coalgate area. The building is significant because it provided needed employment to residents, and the completed building was a center for school and community events. These activities, particularly basketball games, encouraged a feeling of community identity and pride. It is one of three WPA-built structures still standing in Coal County, Oklahoma.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The building is a single story rectangular structure built of sandstone from the area. It measures 91 by 59 feet. Entrances to the building are surrounded by arches and parapets. It has a gabled roof with shingles that are replacements for the original roofing material.</p><br>
<p>The Keel Creek Bridge is a bridge on Oklahoma State Highway 31 seven miles northeast of Coalgate, Oklahoma.</p><br>
<p>The bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was constructed as a Works Progress Administration project. The bridge is significant because of its importance to the transportation history of the area and because it is a WPA-built structure.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Prior to the Great Depression, the economy of Coal County, Oklahoma was already very poor; the countys main product, coal, was no longer in demand by railroads, which had switched to oil-powered trains, and boll weevils had decimated the countys cotton farms. The railroads abandoned the lines to Coal County since coal was no longer needed. The Great Depression further weakened the county economy. A variety of New Deal projects were completed in Coal County, which provided needed employment and improved the quality of life. Coal County had historically had very poor roads, and the end of railroad transport in Coal County meant that roads were an essential means of transportation. Coal County thus prioritized infrastructure improvements, ranging from road resurfacing to bridge construction. Between 10 and 15 bridges were built in Coal County, including the Keel Creek Bridge. The Keel Creek Bridge was completed in 1940 as a Farm-to-market road project. In 2007, when it was nominated for the National Register of Historic Places, it was still in use, even though many of the WPA bridges in Coal County had been replaced.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The bridge is a concrete slab bridge with a sandstone foundation. Stone was chosen because it would require the greatest number of workers. The poured concrete slab deck was chosen because it met Oklahoma highway department of transportation standards for strength and width. The bridge has three spans with two piers and, the bridge deck is around 18 feet above Keel Creek. The masonry shows that those who worked on the bridge were either skilled stonemasons or had perhaps developed their skills working on previous bridge projects. The stones were cut with sharp edges, which gives the bridge a finer appearance than the other Coal County bridges. The bridge has extruded mortar joints, which is a feature no other Coal County WPA structure has.</p><br>
<p>The United States Post Office Coalgate is a post office in Coalgate, Oklahoma. It contains a mural, Women Making Pishafa, painted by artist Acee Blue Eagle. The post office is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Coalgates plans to build new post office were approved by the federal government in 1937. A New Deal program, the Treasury Departments Section of Painting and Sculpture, required that a portion of the money designated for the construction of federal buildings be used to pay for artists to decorate them.</p><br>
<p>The post office was completed in 1940. A mural by Creek-Pawnee artist Acee Blue Eagle was commissioned, which he completed in 1942. The post office is one of only three in Oklahoma to have a mural painted directly onto its plaster wall. Blue Eagle was a significant Native American painter who helped to establish the style known as Traditional Indian Painting, which was the predominant style of Native American art in Oklahoma through the 20th century. The post office is significant because it is representative of historic New Deal politics, government, and art, and the post office and mural together show how a local New Deal project was realized. The post office was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The post office&#39;s supervising architect was Louis A. Simon. The building is in the Art Moderne style with a flat roof and an asymmetrical front. The entrance to the building is centered, but the windows around it are not; there are four large windows, two to the left, one to the right, and one above the entrance. There is an additional smaller window on the far right side of the building. The name of the building is off-center; instead of being directly above the entrance, it is instead centered over the four large windows. The exterior is in buff-colored brick with occasional darker orange-shaded bricks. The entrance to the lobby is through a wood-and-glass-enclosed vestibule. The lobby is I-shaped, with service bays on the wall opposite the entrance.</p><br>
<h2>Women Making Pishafa</h2><br>
<p>The mural is located above the door to the postmaster&#39;s office. Blue Eagle used tempra and acrylics to paint the mural. The painting is an example of the style known as Traditional Indian Painting. It is painted directly onto the plaster wall of the building. The mural is named Women Making Pishafa, and it depicts people preparing pah sho fah, a flint corn beverage that is made by Creek and other Southeastern tribes. A woman on the right side of the painting pounds corn into cornmeal. In the center, two women separate the corn husk from the corn pulp. A table behind them is set with bowls and a coffee pot, which shows that pishafa can be a soup or a beverage. While the women work, a boy plays with a toy horse, and a man on the left side of the painting shoots an arrow at a flock of birds overhead. During 1964 renovations to the post office interior, dust and dirt damaged the painting. Fred Beaver, a Creek artist, restored the mural.</p><br>
<p>The Mehliskopf is a mountain, on the main chain of the Northern Black Forest in Germany. It lies above the Black Forest High Road, between Sand  and Hundseck . On the north flank of the mountain there is ski piste with lifts and an all-year-round bobsleigh run. Nearby is a climbing garden and an adventure playground.</p><br>
<p>There is another piste on the southwestern side of the mountain. Its valley station is on the Black Forest High Road near Hundseck.</p><br>
<p>On the western edge of the summit plateau stands the Mehliskopf Tower (Mehliskopfturm). This 11-metre-high observation tower was built in 1880 by the Black Forest Club and has been renovated several times since. It has a stone plinth with a wooden, covered, observation platform.</p><br>
<p>Lockyer Creek Railway Bridge is a heritage-listed railway bridge on the Brisbane Valley railway line over Lockyer Creek at Clarendon, Somerset Region, Queensland, Australia. It was designed by Henry Charles Stanley and built from 1885 to 1886 by H A Brigg. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The second section of the Brisbane Valley Branch line from Lowood to Esk was let on contract to H. A. Brigg on 2 December 1884 for £57,821. The line was opened for traffic between Lowood and Esk on 9 August 1886.</p><br>
<p>Operating the Brisbane Valley Branch was expensive because the light standard of the line limited engines to B15 standard. As there were many heavy grades on the line, more powerful locomotives could produce substantial savings in the number of trains needed. Using Great Depression relief labour to reduce the cost, strengthening the line to C16 and C17 standard was completed between 1931 and 1933. In 1932 a central timber pier was added to strengthen the 100 foot lattice girder span.</p><br>
<p>In 1968 in preparation for the operation of 60 ton diesel engine locomotives in both single and multiple operation, the longitudinal members were strengthened by the addition of 6x3 inch channels along each side and 9x5 inch transoms laid over the top. The timber piers supporting the 100 foot span were provided with concrete bases. The railway closed for traffic in March 1993.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The bridge features a half-through double x 2 lattice girder bridge on a straight alignment and carrying a single track. Its spans are:</p><br>
<p>2x2x20 foot (6.1m) timber longitudinals, common timber trestles with 2 unbraced uprights (Pier 1), 3 single braced uprights (Pier 2) and 5 double braced uprights (Pier 3).</p><br>

<h2>Heritage listing</h2><br>
<p>Lockyer Creek Railway Bridge at Clarendon was listed on the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992 having satisfied the following criteria.</p><br>
<p>The place is important in demonstrating the evolution or pattern of Queensland&#39;s history.</p><br>
<p>The bridge with a half-through double x 2 lattice girder spans is one of the oldest existing metal truss bridges with Miva (1886) and Wide Bay Creek (1886), and the second extant of its type constructed in Queensland with the longest span of its type in Queensland between 1884 and 1932.</p><br>
<p>The place demonstrates rare, uncommon or endangered aspects of Queensland&#39;s cultural heritage.</p><br>
<p>This is one of the few major bridges on the Brisbane Valley Branch. Its design incorporating a 100-foot lattice girder span supported on timber piers is similar in concept to bridges on the original Ipswich to Toowoomba line, opened in 1867, but on which all such bridges have long been removed. Although a single timber pier has been provided to strengthen the span effectively making two spans to carry heavier loads, it still shows the original mode of construction clearly.</p><br>
<p>The place is important in demonstrating a high degree of creative or technical achievement at a particular period.</p><br>

<p>The Seekopf is a mountain, near Forbach in the Northern Black Forest between the Badener Höhe and the Schwarzenbach Reservoir. Over the Seekopf runs the West Way, the best known hiking trail in the Black Forest. On the very thinly wooded summit there is a monument to Phillipp Bussemer, a member of the Black Forest Club who died in 1918.</p><br>
<p>On the eastern flank of the mountain in a 170-metre-deep cirque is a lake, the Herrenwieser See. West of the Seekopf on the other side of the saddle, which forms the transition to the Badener Höhe, is the Black Forest National Park which was established in 2014.</p><br>
<h2>Power station project</h2><br>
<p>As part of an expansion of the Forbach Pumped Storage Power Station, the EnBW plan to build a new upper basin over the summit area of the Seekopf. A circular embankment is intended to impound 2 million cubic metres of water. The area required is 23 hectares. By the end of 2016 the dossier for the planning approval process will be worked up, then the company will decide whether to proceed with the project.</p><br>
<h2>Nearby mountain with same name</h2><br>
<p>Only 11 kilometres further south, also in the Northern Black Forest, lies another mountain of the same name, the Seekopf between Seebach in the county of Ortenaukreis and the Wildsee lake near Ruhestein.</p><br>
<p>The Hohloh is a mountain, on the eastern main ridge of the Northern Black Forest in Germany. It lies near the village of Kaltenbronn in the borough of Gernsbach, a town in the county of Rastatt in the German state of Baden-Württemberg. Its summit is the highest point in the borough of Gernsbach and the eastern chain of the Northern Black Forest, the ridge between the rivers Murg and Enz. A mountain pass runs northeast of the summit plateau between the two river valleys passing over the saddle of Schwarzmiss.</p><br>
<p>Characteristic of the Hohloh is its flat bunter sandstone kuppe with its observation tower, the Hohloh Tower (Hohlohturm) and a raised bog and bog lakes on the plateau which are protected.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<h3>Location</h3><br>
<p>The Hohloh lies within the Central/North Black Forest Nature Park, mainly on the forest estates of the Gernsbach hamlet of Kaltenbronn, which is situated 2 kilometres east of the summit. On the western edge of the plateau, parts of the mountainside belong to the villages and municipalities of Reichental, Weisenbach, Langenbrand and Gausbach, which lie in the valley of the Murg. Since the municipal reforms in Baden-Württemberg in the 1970s, Kaltenbronn and Reichental have been part of the municipality of Gernsbach, Langenbrand and Gausbach belong to Forbach (all in the county of Rastatt).</p><br>
<p>The forests of Kaltenbronn belong administratively to the western Murg valley, although they are east of the main crest. The boundary between the Eberstein or Old Baden Murg valley (Amt of Gernsbach) and the Old Württemberg Enz valley (Oberamt Wildbad) did not run along the watershed of the Hohloh, but about two or three kilometres east of it. The entire Hohloh region thus lay in Baden.</p><br>
<h3>Natural region grouping</h3><br>
<p>According to the Handbook of the Natural Region Divisions of Germany the Hohloh is part of the major unit group of the Black Forest (no. 15), of the Grinden Black Forest and Enz Heights (Grindenschwarzwald und Enzhöhen) major unit (no. 151), the Enz Heights (Enzhöhen) sub-unit (no. 151.1) and Enzmissen natural region (no. 151.11). Towards the east the countryside descends into the natural region of Enzriedel (151.10), to the southwest into the sub-unit of the Grinden Black Forest (Grindenschwarzwald) (151.0) and natural region of Grinden of the Middle Murg Valley (Grinden des mittleren Murgtals) (151.02) and to the northwest into the major unit of the Northern Riverine Black Forest (Nördlicher Talschwarzwald) (152), sub-unit of the Bühlertal Forest (Bühlertaler Wald) (152.1) and natural region of the Murg Forest (Murgwald) (152.11).</p><br>
<h3>Hills and high points</h3><br>
<p>The Hohloh is. Its flat summit dome or kuppe is the highest point on the eastern mountain chain of the Northern Black Forest, the ridge between the valleys of the Murg and Enz. Its opposite number is the Hornisgrinde, the highest point on the western mountain chain. On many maps, an elevation of is given; this is the height of the nearby site of the Hohloh Tower.</p><br>
<h3>Topography</h3><br>
<p>The summit region of the Hohloh is formed by a broad plateau. In the west the plateau is bounded mainly by steep slopes with a pre-alpine character in the valley of the Murg which, like the plateau, lie on the bunter sandstone platform. Below a height of about 640 metres, this is succeeded by the basement and fertile soils on Forbach Granite, recognisable by a step in the landscape with a spring horizon, the transition from coniferous to mixed beech forest and the onset of grassy valleys. To the east, facing the Enz valley, the relief energy is markedly lower, the mountainsides are gentler, the boundary of the plateau less clear. The Hohloh region is drained, corresponding to the large-scale direction of dip of the bunter sandstone, predominantly into the eastern valleys (the Kegeltal valley, where the mountain pass over the Schwarzmiss runs, and the Rombach valley), long side valleys of the Great Enz. To the north the main chain heads for the Langmartskopf (Langmahd), Teufelsmühle and the Dobel, to the south it transitions to the Breitloh region, followed by the Toter Mann, the Schramberg and the village of Besenfeld.</p><br>
<h2>Nature</h2><br>
<h3>Plateau and raised bogs</h3><br>
<p>On the southern part of the plateau is the Hohlohmiss, a misse with raised bogs and several bog ponds, including the Great and Little Hohlohsee. Like the neighbouring Wildseemoor, these are biogenic and not geomorphological landforms. They have developed since the last ice age about 10,000 years ago due to the high rainfall on the acidic klebsands of the upper conglomerate horizon of Middle Bunter. Due to their outstanding ecological importance, the Hohlohmiss and Wildseemoor have been protected as part of the Kaltenbronn Nature Reserve.</p><br>
<h3>Reserves</h3><br>
<p>The Hohlohseemoor south of the Hohloh summit has been a nature reserve since 1940. Since 2000, the Hohlohsee bei Kaltenbronn Nature Reserve together with the Wildseemoor and surrounding bannwald and schonwald have been part of the Kaltenbronn Nature Reserve and Protected Forest which covers an area of 17.5 km². On the mountain there are parts of the protected area of the Middle Murg Valley (Mittleres Murgtal), CDDA No. 323009; 1940; 76.1 km²); the reserves being excluded from it. The nature reserve is part of the fauna-flora habitat region of Kaltenbronner Enzhöhen (FFH-No. 7316-341; 10.4244 km²). In addition there are elements of the Northern Black Forest bird reserve (Vogelschutzgebiet Nordschwarzwald, VSG No. 7415-441; 360.4511 km²) on the mountain.</p><br>
<p>The Kaltenbronn region with the Hohloh was considered for inclusion in the Black Forest National Park, established in 2014, but was not eventually included.</p><br>
<h2>Usage</h2><br>
<h3>Hohloh Tower and transmitter</h3><br>
<p>At the northern end of the summit plateau, at a height of, is the Hohloh Tower (Hohlohturm), officially the Emperor William Tower (Kaiser-Wilhelm-Turm), an observation tower, from which there are often wide views in the Northern Black Forest. It stands about 200 metres north of the summit and on the edge of the steep slope where a better view of the Murg Valley to the northwest may be had.</p><br>
<p>As early as 1853 the Kaltenbronn Forestry Department directed the construction of an observation tower that, as well as having long-distance views into the Murg and Rhine valleys as well as of Württemberg and Hohenzollern in favourable weather, and even of the Bernese Alps, about 250 kilometres away. A few years later a wooden tower with a toposcope was built, which was accessible until 1895. In 1897 the Black Forest Club had a new tower built of bunter sandstone from the local area (work started on 10 May and it was completed on 12 August), which was 22.2 metres high at that time. Due to the height to which the trees had grown, it was raised in 1968 by a further 6.4 metres to the present 28.6 metres. This extra section can be seen from inside the tower: in the area of the old top of the tower the material of the newel changes from sandstone ashlars to Béton brut. The staircase has 158 steps. The observation platform is at a height of roughly. Today the tower is managed by the Gernsbach branch of the Black Forest Club and owned by the state of Baden-Württemberg. On 21 October 2010 a licensing agreement was made between the Black Forest Club and the Forest Commission of Baden-Württemberg, prior to that its use was not regulated legally.</p><br>
<p>The views reach from the Vosges to the southwest, over the Palatine Forest to the northwest, the Odenwald to the north as far as the Jurassic crags of the Swabian Jura. In very good visibility the Feldberg in the Southern Black Forest and several peaks of the Swiss Alps can be made out on the southern horizon; to the north occasionally the Großer Feldberg in the Taunus may be seen. The panorama was improved further in the 1990s as a result of hurricanes Vivian, Wiebke and Lothar which destroyed large areas of trees on the summit plateau.</p><br>
<p>Between the tower and the summit, on the site of a former military radio relay installation is now a civilian transmission mast and transmitter site that enables mobile telephony in the remote highlands.</p><br>
<h3>Transport, hiking and sport</h3><br>
<p>About 930 metres northeast of the summit of the Hohloh and 800 metres northeast of the Hohloh Tower on the northeastern edge of the summit plateau is the Schwarzmiss saddle, over which the Landesstraße 76b runs between Hilpertsau on the Murg and Sprollenhaus on the Great Enz. Both on the Schwarzmiss as well as below it (for example in the hamlet of Kaltenbronn) are several hikers car parks. They are starting points for walks, mountain bike tours and &#39;loipes. There are public bus services to Schwarzmiss and Kaltenbronn from the Murg and Enz valleys.</p><br>
<p>The Black Forest ridgeways of West Way and Middle Way as well as the E1 European long distance path run via Kaltenbronn and the Hohloh past the Hohlohsee and Hohloh Tower. The Hohlohseemoor is accessible on a board walk. The long distance ski trails on the ridge run north to the Dobel (15 km from Schwarzmiss) and Wildbad-Sommerberg (12.5 km), to the south as far as Besenfeld (16 km). At Kaltenbronn there is a downhill ski slope with drag lifts.</p><br>
<p>The Old Wine Road (Alte Weinstraße), a historical cart track from the lower to upper Murg Valley runs along the ridge of the Hohloh. It bypassed the gorge-like Middle Murg Valley which, until the 18th century, was only accessible on a mule track.</p><br>
<p>The Bernstein is a mountain, in the Northern Black Forest within the borough of Gaggenau , and the borough of Bad Herrenalb, . It is part of the ridge that borders the lower Murg valley on its eastern side. The summit of this mountain is formed by a six-metre-high crag made of bunter sandstone with a flat top, 25 m² in area, from where there are good views.</p><br>
<h2>Name</h2><br>
<p>The origin of the first part of the name, Bern, is the Old High German word, bero, which meant "bear". Bears lived in the Northern Black Forest until the Late Middle Ages. Stein ("rock") refers to block of rock that forms the summit.</p><br>
<h2>Natural monument</h2><br>
<p>The Bernsteinfels crag and its surrounding area were declared a natural monument on 5 Nov 2007 by the towns of Gaggenau and Bad Herrenalb due the its rock formations, which are unique in the region, and its geological-tectonic and natural importance, and were given protected area number 82160150001 by the Regierungspräsidium Freiburg.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>Geologically the origins of the Bernstein go back to the Lower Triassic, 240 million years ago. The summit block of this mountain consists of fissured Middle Bunter Sandstone. These mighty sandstone blocks are a consequence of the formation of the Upper Rhine Graben, whose sinking began about 50 million years ago. About 5 million years ago there was a marked uplifting and tilting of the edges of the graben. At that time the Bernstein crag was actually formed. Its present shape is the result of cold periods over the millennia of i.e. ice ages, that were interrupted by warm periods.</p><br>
<p>The hollow spherical formations (Kugelsandstein) on the southwest and northeast faces of the Bernstein rock are the remaines of geodes that were formed here once. They have nothing to do with Gletschermühlen or human influences, as has been repeatedly suggested.</p><br>
<h2>Main rock</h2><br>
<p>The main rock of the Bernstein has a volume of about 200 m³. It is accessible via a stone staircase made in 1864 and has extensive, far-reaching views. In clear weather the views extend far over the lower Murg valley, for example, to Strasbourg Minster, 54 km away, to the Vosges 60–120 km away, and the mountains of the Palatine Forest 45–75 km away. The visible length of the horsing is up to 180 km.</p><br>
<p>On the main rock there is a 3-metre-high stone cross dating to 1877 and, since 1995, a semi-circular toposcope made of steel. This provides information about the direction and distance of those places and mountains that are visible over a radius of 18 km and also several more distant locations such as Karlsruhe and the Hornisgrinde as well as non-visible locations such as the Feldberg and Mont Blanc. It also gives the position of sunset on the visible horizon at the summer and winter solstices as well as at the equinoxes, with dates and times. In addition it gives the length of days (time between sunrise and sunset) in hours and minutes at the start of each season as well as the height of the midday sun (highest point of the sun during its visible trajectory) in degrees, also at the start of the seasons. In entirely other dimensions are given the average distance from the earth to the moon, the sun the orbit of the planet Pluto and the nearest star in km and light years as well as distances to the earth&#39;s interior.</p><br>
<h2>Access</h2><br>
<p>Several paths run up to the Bernstein. The two shortest are 3.5 kilometres long and run from Althof and Bernbach respectively (both in the borough of Bad Herrenalb), the longer and steeper routes run from Michelbach and Sulzbach (borough of Gaggenau) and from Gaggenau itself.</p><br>
<p>The Tokcha&#39; Pillbox is a Japanese-built World War II-era defensive fortification on the island of Guam. It is built on a limestone terrace on Togcha Point, about 1 mi north of the Togcha River and 0.7 mi south of the Ylig River. It is set in a depression excavated from the limestone about 15 m inland from the high tide land and 1 m above sea level. It is a roughly rectangular structure built out of steel-reinforced concrete filled with coral and beach aggregate. The entrance is on the north wall, sheltered by a wall of coral blocks, and the gun port is on the south wall. This structure was built under the direction of the Japanese military during their occupation of the island 1941-44.</p><br>
<p>The pillbox was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The Frank Campbell House is a historic house on United States Route 1 in Cherryfield, Maine. Built in 1875 to a design by regionally known architect Charles A. Allen, it is well-preserved expression of Second Empire architecture, and one of a number of high-style houses in the Cherryfield Historic District. It was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Frank Campbell House is located on the south side of Millbridge Road (US Route 1), at the southwest corner with New Street, on the east side of the village of Cherryfield. It is a 1-1/2 story wood frame structure, roughly square in footprint, with a 2-1/2 story tower projecting from the front (north-facing) facade. It is finished in wooden clapboards, and topped by a flared mansard roof. The tower is capped by a similar roof, and its roof and the main roof are pierce by elaborately decorated dormers with windows set in segmented-arch and round-arch openings. A porch, sympathetic in style to the rest of the house, has been built around the base of the tower. Eave lines are decorated with dentil moulding and decorative brackets. A single-story ell extends the main block to the rear, where it is joined to a small carriage barn.</p><br>
<p>The house, built in 1875, was designed by Cherryfield resident Charles A. Allen, who designed three other high-style houses in Cherryfield, contributing to the town&#39;s rich architectural heritage.</p><br>
<p>The William Dean Howells House is a historic house at 36 Pepperrell Road in Kittery Point, Maine. Built c. 1870, this house was for many years the summer residence of writer and editor William Dean Howells, best known as editor of Atlantic Monthly magazine. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 .</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Howells House is located on the south side of Pepperrell Road (Maine State Route 103), occupying a parcel of land that stretches down to the banks of the Piscataqua River, between the village of Kittery Point and Fort McClary State Park. It is a 1-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a mansard roof, clapboard siding, and a fieldstone foundation. The main facade faces south toward the river, and is three bays wide, with projecting bays on either side of a picture window. The right bay houses an entrance, while the left bay has a three-part window whose larger central portion is arched. The mansard roof is pierced by shed-roof dormers. The main house is joined to a former carriage barn via an enclosed passage; the barn has been similarly styled.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1870 by Joseph D. Branum, a businessman from Springfield, Massachusetts. The house was for about 20 years the summer residence of the noted literary figure William Dean Howells (1837-1920). Howells achieved critical acclaim as editor of the Atlantic Monthly in the 1870s, and was also a writer of note. He was in his later years a major contributor to Century Magazine, and served as an advisor to Harper and Brothers.</p><br>

<p>The Cavendish memorial fountain is a drinking fountain erected in 1886 at Bolton Abbey, North Yorkshire, England as a memorial to Lord Frederick Cavendish following his murder in Phoenix Park by the Irish National Invincibles in May 1882. The fountain is a Grade II listed building.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>Following the murder of Lord Frederick there were a number of memorials proposed to him; the proposal for a pillar or obelisk at Bolton Abbey was first made in September 1882 by electors of the Northern West Riding of Yorkshire parliamentary constituency (for whom Cavendish had been an MP since 1865). The proposal was led by William Foster, owner of the Black Dyke Mills, but he died before the proposal came to fruition. A committee, chaired by Angus Holden was formed to take the idea forward and £2,000 was raised in donations.</p><br>
<p>Bids for a memorial were sought and the chosen bid was one designed by Manchester architects Thomas Worthington and John Garrard Elgood. The design was for a tall crenellated tower to be sited on South Nab, a promontory overlooking the River Wharfe. In 1884, the Duke of Devonshire (Lord Fredericks father) notified the committee that objections to the planned tower had been received and that it "would be detrimental to the landscape of the district and mar the beauty of the outline". On the basis of this and also the Dukes own opinion about the unsuitability of the design and location, the committee resolved to find another solution.</p><br>
<p>Worthington and Elgood cam up with a different design, this time for a fountain. The revised design was accepted by the committee and it was resolved to erect the fountain just north of the priory at a location known as Hartington Seat.</p><br>
<h2>Opening</h2><br>
<p>Construction work on the fountain completed in 1886 and the formal dedication of the fountain was held on 11 June 1886. Over 500 guests attended the event and the dedication was made by the Marquess of Ripon and responded to by Lord Frederick&#39;s younger brother, Lord Edward Cavendish, on behalf of the Cavendish family.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Worthington and Elgood&#39;s design for the fountain was constructed by Stephenson and Co of Manchester with the carving work conducted by Earp and Hobbs.</p><br>
<p>The fountain stands approximately 40 ft high and is constructed of local stone in the form of ashlar blocks. Standing on a plinth the fountain is surrounded by six buttresses in a hexagonal plan. A frieze connects the buttresses and is inscribed "This fountain was erected by electors of the West Riding as a tribute to his memory, Frederick Charles Cavendish Born November XXX. MDCCCXXXVI. Died May VI. MDCCCLXXXII". Each buttress has a gargoyle at the level of the frieze and in the parapet above each section of the frieze there is a coat of arms. Two of these are those of the Cavendish family and the other four are the arms of the Lyttleton, Boyle, Clifford and Howard families, all of whom are families in the Cavendish lineage. Above the frieze the memorial is topped with an open lantern. The Leeds Mercury described the architectural style as Gothic.</p><br>
<p>The Mast Farm is a historic farm located near Valle Crucis, Watauga County, North Carolina and is now an Inn. In the late 1700s, Joseph Mast walked from Pennsylvania and settled on much of the land that is now Valle Crucis. Around 1810, his son David built the two-room log cabin which now sits facing the main house at the Mast Farm. David’s son Andrew began building the main house around 1880. Andrew’s son, D. Finley Mast, completed it in 1896. A photo of the house in the early 1900s shows a sign stating simply, “BROOKSHIDE FARM, D. FINLEY MAST, ONE HALF MILE TO POST OFFICE.” Originally, the main house consisted of only the part closest to the road – three stories high, with two rooms on each floor. Like most large homes with open flames for cooking, it had a detached kitchen. The main house is a two-story frame dwelling with a gable roof. In the early 1900s, Finley and his wife, Josephine, began to make additions to the house and to operate it as an inn. Over a period of about twenty-five years, five different symmetrical additions were completed, ultimately comprising thirteen bedrooms – and one bathroom. Other contributing buildings are an eight-sided gazebo , wash house, spring house, meat house, log woodhouse, apple house , weaving house , blacksmith shop, and gambrel roofed barn. The weaving house served as the original farm house.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. It is located in the Valle Crucis Historic District.</p><br>
