<p>The Merryall Union Evangelical Society Chapel  is a historic church building on Chapel Hill Road in New Milford, Connecticut. Built in 1890, it is the town&#39;s best example of Carpenter Gothic architecture. It is used in the summertime for services by visiting ministers of diverse denominations, and hosts weddings and other private functions. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Merryall Chapel stands in a rural setting about 4 mi north of the center of New Milford, on the west side of Chapel Hill Road. It is a single-story wood frame structure, with a steeply pitched gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. A square tower projects from the center of the street-facing front facade, rising to a pyramidal roof and fleur-du-lis finial. The entrance is in the base of the tower, topped by a lancet-arched panel. Lancet-arch windows line the side walls. The interior is decorated in a Victorian style, with spindle-backed chairs for seating of the congregation, and a raised platform at the rear serves as the altar, furnished with velvet armchairs and couch.</p><br>
<p>The Merryall Union Evangelical Association was founded in 1884 as a vehicle to provide Sunday School education to children in the area. The present chapel was an outgrowth of that organization, which expanded to offer regular services to local residents, who would otherwise have to make the sometimes difficult journey to the town center for services. Services were typically provided by traveling ministers or ministers from other area churches, and were usually non-denominational. About 1900, care of the building fell to a local sewing club, and services were regularly offered during the summer, bringing in summer residents of the area. A new nonprofit was established in the 1970s to oversee maintenance of the building.</p><br>

<p>Beech Grove is a historic mansion in Nashville, Tennessee, USA. Built as a log house circa 1850, it was a Southern plantation with African slaves in the Antebellum era. In the 1910s, it became a livestock farm.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The property is located at 8423 Old Harding Pike in Nashville, the county seat of Davidson County, Tennessee.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The land belonged to Elisha Sherrill until 1801, when Hugh Allison acquired 200 acres. Allison, who served on the Davidson County Court, owned ten African slaves. He lived on the farm with his wife, Lydia Harrison Allison, and their five children. When he died in 1835, one of his sons, Thomas Jefferson Allison, inherited the farm. He acquired more land, expanding to 1,150 acres. Additionally, he owned 22 African slaves by 1840 and 53 slaves by 1860. As a result, the farm became a Southern plantation. Allison lived on the plantation with his wife Tabitha and their six children.</p><br>
<p>The two-storey log house was built for the Allison family by Thomas Jones and Caleb Lucas, two carpenters, circa 1850. It was designed in the Greek Revival architecture.</p><br>
<p>During the Civil War, half the slaves ran away via the railroad. After the war, the remaining 20 former slaves, now freedmen, worked on the property as tenant farmers. Meanwhile, Allison and his wife continued to live in the house until he died in 1897 and she died in 1910.</p><br>
<p>Subsequently, the property was inherited by Allison&#39;s granddaughter, Allie Morton and her husband, Sam. They turned it into a livestock farm. In the 1920s, they redesigned the house in the Colonial Revival architectural style. The Mortons sold the house in 1975. It was later purchased by the Kacki family in 1993.</p><br>

<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The mansion is located at 811 Caldwell lane in South Nashville, the county seat of Davidson County, Tennessee and capital of the state.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>A one-storey cottage was built in the Antebellum era for Henry Norvell and Laura Sevier, the granddaughter of John Sevier, who had served as the first Governor of Tennessee. During the Civil War, the house was used by Confederate General John Bell Hood in his preparation before the Battle of Nashville of December 15–16, 1864.</p><br>
<p>In 1878, the cottage was purchased by James Erwin Caldwell, the president of the Cumberland Telephone and Telegraph Company, which installed the Bell System in the American South. Caldwell redesigned the house in the Italianate architectural style, and added a second storey. He lived there with his wife, Mary Winston, and their ten children.</p><br>
<p>The house was redesigned in the Beaux-Arts architectural style in 1906. In that process, the house was expanded with a portico, a winding staircase, and an attic in the third storey.</p><br>
<p>After Caldwell&#39;s death, the house was sold to the Franklin Road Church of Christ. It was converted into a church building, and it remained a church for eight years. In 1960, the house was purchased by Dr Nicholas de Palma. He sold it in 1977.</p><br>

<p>The Robert and Louisa Traip House is a historic house at 2 Wentworth Street  in Kittery, Maine. Built about 1839, it is a rare statewide example of a Greek Revival house with colonnaded sides. Robert Traip, its first owner, was one of Kittery&#39;s wealthiest men at the time. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Traip House is set in the village of Kittery Foreside, on the east side of Wentworth Street, between Traip Avenue and Walker Street. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a gable roof, flushboard and clapboard siding, and a granite foundation. The roof is capped by a small octagonal cupola. A two-story porch extends across the front and partially along both sides of the house, supported by fluted Doric columns. An entablature extends around the building just below the roof, and the front gable is fully pedimented, with a pair of sash windows in the center. The area under the porch is finished in flushboard, while that outside is clapboarded. The buildings corners are accentuated by pilasters. The interior retains original Greek Revival door and window trim.</p><br>
<p>The land on which the house was built was purchased in 1838 by Robert Traip, and the house is presumed to have been built on it soon afterward. The house is the one of only two known in the state from the Greek Revival period to have a three-sided two-story colonnade. Traip, member of a locally prominent family, is described in surviving records as a "gentleman", with a net worth in excess of $20,000. One of Kittery&#39;s wealthiest residents, he bequested funds for the establishment of a local academy.</p><br>
<p>The W.A. Thorp House was a historically significant farmhouse in the Cleveland-area city of Mayfield Heights. Built in the 1880s for one of the first men of the township, it was named a historic site in the 1970s, but it is no longer standing.</p><br>
<p>A native of nearby Warrensville, W.A. Thorp moved to Mayfield Township at the age of thirty-one in 1863. Buying nearly 250 acre in the township, he made himself wealthy, and his fellowmen elected him a township trustee. Thorp arranged for the construction of a new house in 1886. This building combined elements of the Italianate and Stick styles then popular.</p><br>
<p>Built in the shape of the letter "L", the two-story house featured a complex gabled roof, a two-story bay window on one of the narrower gables, and balustrades at both floor and ceiling level on porches on the rear and in the ell of the main part of the house. Unusually, the weatherboarded walls were covered with siding of different sorts, and the exterior was further distinguished by elaborate woodwork under the eaves at the tops of the gables, wall boards giving the appearance of masonry beltcourses. Italianate influence was largely the result of a collection of brackets forming the cornice.</p><br>
<p>In late 1978, Thorp&#39;s house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places because of its historically significant architecture. Almost identical to its appearance at construction nearly a century earlier, the house was deemed one of the most important houses in the former Mayfield Township, both because of its well-preserved architecture and its place as the home of a significant man in local history. Despite this distinction, the house is no longer standing, having been replaced by a USA Bank branch. It officially remains listed on the National Register.</p><br>
<p>Belle Vue is a historic mansion in Bellevue, a suburb of Nashville, Tennessee, USA. It was a Southern plantation worked by enslaved African Americans prior to the American Civil War of 1861-1865. After the war, it remained in the same family until the 1970s.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The mansion is located at 7306 Old Harding Road in Bellevue, a suburb of Nashville in Davidson County, Tennessee.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house stood in this spot as a two-storey log cabin prior to 1818, when Abraham Louis DeMoss, Sr. purchased it. DeMoss lived here with his wife, Elizabeth Newsom DeMoss and their enslaved workforce. When DeMoss departed for New Orleans, Louisiana in 1820, the wealth he had garnered from the work of enslaved laborers, allowed his wife to expand the footprint of the house. It was redesigned in the Classical Revival architectural style, with French block-printed wallpaper in the parlor. It was also renamed "Belle Vue", which means "Beautiful View" in French.</p><br>
<p>After Abraham Louis DeMoss, Sr. died in 1820, his widow lived in the house with her son, Louis DeMoss, Jr. After the latter died, the house was inherited by his son, William E. DeMoss, a physician, who lived here with his mother. After the war, DeMoss married Tabitha Allison in 1871. When she died in 1916, the house was inherited by her nephew, T. A. Baugh. By 1947, Baugh attended electricity to the house and moved in with his wife.</p><br>
<p>In 1972, the house was purchased by Sparky Forster, with only seven acres left around the house.</p><br>

<p>St Peter&#39;s Anglican Church and Hall is a heritage-listed church at 85 Elm Street, Barcaldine, Barcaldine Region, Queensland, Australia. It was designed by Edwin Hockings and built in 1899. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>St Peter&#39;s Anglican Church is a substantial timber church located prominently in Barcaldine and was dedicated on 28 October 1899.</p><br>
<p>Barcaldine was established in 1886 with the arrival of the railway, although the area had previously been settled as a pastoral district centred on Blackall. For three years Barcaldine was the railhead, bringing a large number of workers, carriers and businesses to the town. Although two blocks of land between Yew and Elm Streets were shown as church land on the first town plan, there was no church built and in 1892 the whole district was still under the care of a single priest living at Blackall. A mission was opened in 1893 based on Longreach and the priest from this or from Springsure visited Barcaldine from time to time, using local halls for worship or visiting stations in the area. Because of the difficulty of finding priests to serve in areas away from major towns, religion had little place in everyday life.</p><br>
<p>The Brotherhood of St Andrew, known as the Bush Brothers, was established by the first Bishop of Rockhampton, Nathaniel Dawes, to address the problem of supplying pastoral care to a huge, sparsely settled and poor diocese. In 1897 he attended a conference in London for bishops serving abroad. Since 1883 a "mission" scheme had operated in Bethnal Green, a poor part of London, and he thought of adapting this idea for Queensland. St Andrew&#39;s Mission House was set up as a base in Longreach to provide practical and spiritual support for the Brothers who travelled where they were needed and remained unmarried during their term of service. Their first charges were the towns of Aramac, Ilfracombe and Barcaldine. Some well-known Brothers served the area including the famous "fighting parson" Rev. Frederick Hulton-Sams, known for his boxing skills. He was killed in France in 1915 when taking water to the wounded.</p><br>
<p>At first, services at Barcaldine were held in the court house. In 1898 a handsome bequest from England, known as the Marriott bequest, contributed £250 to the cost of a church and a committee was formed to begin the work. Plans were drawn up with input from Archdeacon George Halford, by Edwin Hockings of Rockhampton who had also designed the Mission House at Longreach. The cost of construction escalated as a severe fire in Longreach in October 1898 raised the demand for labour and materials. Work began in mid 1899 and the contractors for the building were Messrs. Meacham and Leyland of Barcaldine. St Peters was dedicated on 28 October 1899, the feast of St Simon and St Jude, although the building was not quite finished. To reduce costs, the church was built in two stages. The first stage included sanctuary, chancel and a short nave. An unusual feature is the open rood screen, uncommon in Queensland churches and believed to be the only one in western part of Queensland.</p><br>
<p>A number of the furnishings for the new church came out from England including a lectern copied from that in Exeter Cathedral. The font was a gift of the children of Archdeacon Halford&#39;s old parish of St Peter, Jarrow-on-Tyne in England. Halford became the Bishop of Rockhampton in 1901 and was the first bishop consecrated in Queensland. The church was served by Brothers who travelled from Longreach and spent a month at a time in Barcaldine, living in the vestry and eating at the hotel.</p><br>
<p>A parish hall had been built by 1909 although church records do not record the exact date of construction. It was used between 1909 and 1911 for the privately operated Barcaldine High School, the first secondary school in western Queensland and one which catered for both boys and girls. While the venture did not last, it was succeeded by the Barcaldine Grammar School in 1915, which was run by the Church and which also used the hall for classes. The school closed in 1918 for want of a teacher, but the ideal of a church school to serve the western districts was not abandoned. In 1922, St Peters School opened with boarding facilities for both boys and girls and an extra classroom built beside the hall. Its peak enrolment of 62 children was reached in 1923 and the school struggled financially during the hard years of the twenties finally closing in 1932. The buildings constructed for it were used during World War II for girls evacuated from St Faiths, Yeppoon, but the buildings have not survived.</p><br>
<p>In 1913 the church was completed by extending the nave and adding a baptistery, porch and turret. At this time the church was also painted, improvements were made to the pulpit and a stained glass window was placed in the baptistery. The extension cost £400 and Meacham and Dryer were the contractors.</p><br>
<p>It was considered that the pastoral care provided by the Brothers was preparatory to the formation of a parish and in 1914 Barcaldine became a parish in its own right.</p><br>
<p>St Peter&#39;s church has associations with many local families who raised money, acted as Sunday School teachers, helped to organise events and participated in them as well as attending services. Particularly in the era before modern transport and communication made social contact easier, the church provided a social as well as a spiritual focus for its congregation and had a number of clubs to cater for different ages and interests. Events such as balls, picnics, bazaars and an annual flower show were well supported. Schemes to sustain church finances even included the purchase of cattle which were given the church registered brand and then raised on various stations in the area before being sold. An Anglican Far Western Mission was run from St Peters from 1964–1969 by Rev. Frank Neubecker who was able to visit outlying places for one week a month by flying in a light plane, named the Saint Michael.</p><br>
<p>Numbers of communicants began to fall in the 1980s, exacerbated by a downturn in the rural economy. In 1990 the church could no longer afford a parish priest and the Archdeacon came over from Longreach to hold services on a monthly basis. Worship is now led by lay preachers. Changes to the church have been minimal. A new porch and entry was constructed in 1961 and a new rectory was built in 1977.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>St Peter&#39;s Anglican Church is located on the southern side of Elm Street and is parallel to the road, running on an east-west axis. It is a timber building, rectangular in plan with an apsidal sanctuary at the eastern end. To the western end is a baptistery flanked by small porches. It has a steeply pitched gable roof clad with corrugated iron which extends to cover the vestry on the southern side. The roof is crowned with an octagonal louvred turret and spire and the eaves are supported by curved timber brackets. The external walls are clad in narrow weatherboards. There is a bell tower at the south east corner between vestry and sanctuary.</p><br>
<p>The internal walls of the church are lined with painted tongue and groove boards and the roof is ceiled with "caneite". The flooring is 1?" wide tongue and groove hardwood. Separating chancel and nave is an open timber rood screen composed of six timber posts supporting the rail and rood and linked by Gothic tracery. The posts are decorated with shields bearing heraldic devices.</p><br>
<p>Windows to the side walls are narrow and rectangular. There are a number of stained glass memorial windows including five above the altar depicting the Ascension and scenes from the life of St Peter installed in 1918, a Resurrection from 1918 and that in the baptistery donated in 1913. The fittings are original and include a stone font inscribed " An offering to the Glory of God from the children of the church of St Peter, Jarrow to the church of St Peter, Barcaldine". The lectern is a copy of that in Exeter Cathedral and was carved and donated by Mr G. Lloyd-Jones of Ilfracombe in England. The richly embroidered altar frontal dating from the 1900s was also an English gift.</p><br>
<p>The hall is located a short distance from the eastern end of the church and at right angles to it. It is a rectangular timber framed building clad in fibre-cement sheeting with a weatherboard pattern and with a corrugated iron roof. The western side has been extended by a lean-to and the original double hung windows have been replaced with louvres. The double timber doors of the entrance facing Elm Street are sheltered by a gabled porch. This building has narrow timber floor boards and a caneite ceiling similar to those in the church and the wall between the hall proper and the extension has exposed studs.</p><br>

<p>Cerro Guacha is a Miocene caldera in southwestern Bolivia&#39;s Sur Lípez Province. Part of the volcanic system of the Andes, it is considered to be part of the Central Volcanic Zone , one of the three volcanic arcs of the Andes, and its associated Altiplano-Puna volcanic complex . A number of volcanic calderas occur within the latter.</p><br>
<p>Cerro Guacha and the other volcanoes of that region are formed from the subduction of the Nazca plate beneath the South America plate. Above the subduction zone, the crust is chemically modified and generates large volumes of melts that form the local caldera systems of the APVC. Guacha is constructed over a basement of sediments.</p><br>
<p>Two major ignimbrites, the 5.6-5.8 mya Guacha ignimbrite with a volume of 1,300 km3 and the 3.5-3.6 mya Tara ignimbrite with a volume of 800 km3 were erupted from Cerro Guacha. More recent activity occurred 1.7 mya and formed a smaller ignimbrite with a volume of 10 km3.</p><br>
<p>The larger caldera has dimensions of 60 x with a rim altitude of 5,250 m. Extended volcanic activity has generated two nested calderas, a number of lava domes and lava flows and a central resurgent dome.</p><br>
<h2>Geography and structure</h2><br>
<p>The caldera was discovered in 1978 thanks to Landsat imagery. It lies in Bolivia next to the Chilean frontier. The terrain is difficult to access being located at altitudes between 3,000 -. The caldera is named after Cerro Guacha, a feature named as such by local topographic maps. Later research by the Geological Service of Bolivia indicated the presence of three welded tuffs. Paleogene red beds and Ordovician sediments form the basement of the caldera.</p><br>
<p>Cerro Guacha is part of the Altiplano-Puna volcanic complex, an area of extensive ignimbrite volcanism in the Central Andes between the Altiplano and the Atacama and associated with the Central Volcanic Zone of the Andes. Several large caldera complexes are found within this area, formed by crustal magma chambers generated by magmas derived from the melting of deep crustal layers. Present day activity is limited to geothermal phenomena in El Tatio, Sol de Manana and Guacha, with recent activity encompassing the extrusion of Quaternary lava domes and flows. Deformation in the area occurs beneath Uturuncu volcano north of the Guacha centre.</p><br>
<p>A westward-facing semicircular scarp (60 x) contains subvertically banded Guacha ignimbrite layers rich in lithic clasts and is the presumable vent of the Guacha ignimbrite. The resulting caldera formed like a trapdoor and with a volume of 1,200 km3 is among the largest known. Volcanic structures are aligned along the eastern moat of this structure, which is filled by lacustrine deposits and welded ignimbrites. Another eastern collapse was generated by the Tara Ignimbrite eruption, with dimensions of 30 x. The margins of the caldera-graben structure are about 5,250 m high while the caldera floors are about 1,000 m lower. Probably dacitic lava domes are found on the northern caldera rim, with the caldera floor possibly containing lava flows.</p><br>
<p>The caldera contains a resurgent dome, the western part of it is formed by the Tara ignimbrite while the eastern is part of the Guacha ignimbrite. This dome was cut by the Tara collapse, exposing 700 m of Guacha ignimbrites. The resurgent dome in the caldera rises about 1.1 km above the caldera floor. A second resurgence episode occurred inside the Tara caldera. The caldera is filled up to 1 km thick with ignimbrites. Three lava domes, roughly coeval with the Tara ignimbrite, are constructed on the northern side of the resurgent dome. The western dome is named Chajnantor and is the most silica-rich of the domes. Rio Guacha in the middle is more dacitic. The Puripica Chico lavas on the western side of the caldera are not associated with a collapse. Dark coloured lava flows are found to the southwest of the caldera.</p><br>
<p>Some geothermal activity occurs within the caldera. Laudrum et al. suggested that the heat from Guacha and Pastos Grandes may be transferred to the El Tatio geothermal system to the west.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>Guacha is part of a volcanic complex in the back-arc region of the Andes in Bolivia. The Central Andes are underlaid by the Paleoproterozoic-Paleozoic Arequipa-Antofalla terrane. The Central Andes started to form 70 mya. Previously, the area was formed from a Paleozoic marine basin with some early volcanics.</p><br>
<p>Since the Jurassic, subduction has been occurring on the western margin of present-day South America, resulting in variable amounts of volcanic activity. A short interruption of volcanism, associated with a flattening of the subducting plate, occurred in the Oligocene 35-25 mya. Subsequently, renewed melt generation modified the overlying crust until major volcanism, associated with a "flare up" of ignimbritic volcanism occurred 10 mya. 100 - beneath the local volcanic zone lies the Benioff zone of the subducting Nazca plate. Recently a change in volcanic activity away from ignimbritic towards cone-forming volcanism has been observed.</p><br>
<h3>Local</h3><br>
<p>Guacha caldera is part of the Altiplano-Puna volcanic complex (APVC), an igneous province in the central Andes convering a surface area of 70,000 km&sup2;. Here on an average altitude of 4,000 m between 10 and 1 mya roughly 10,000 km3 of ignimbrites were erupted. Gravitic research indicates the presence of a low density area centered beneath Guacha. The magmatic body underpinning the APVC is centered beneath Guacha. Guacha caldera is also closely linked to the neighbouring La Pacana caldera.</p><br>
<p>The Guacha caldera forms a structure with the neighbouring Cerro Panizos, Coranzulí and Vilama calderas associated with a fault named the Lípez lineament. Activity along this lineament commenced with the Abra Granada volcanic complex 10 mya ago and dramatically increased more than a million years later. Volcanic activity is linked to this fault zone and to the thermal maturation of the underlying crust. After 4 million years ago activity waned again in the Altiplano-Puna volcanic complex.</p><br>
<h3>Geologic record</h3><br>
<p>The Guacha system was constructed over a timespan of 2 million years with a total volume of 3,400 km3. Eruptive activity occurred at regular intervals. Calculations indicate that the Guacha system was supplied by magmas at a rate of 0.007 -.</p><br>
<p>Located at a high altitude in an area of long term arid climate has preserved old volcanic deposits over time. Thus, unlike in other areas of the world such as the Himalayas where water erosion governs the landscape the morphology of the Altiplano-Puna volcanic complex is mostly tectonic in origin.</p><br>
<h3>Composition and magma properties</h3><br>
<p>The Guacha Ignimbrite is rhyodacite and rich in crystals. The Chajnantor lava dome contains sanidine while Rio Guacha of dacitic composition contains amphibole and pyroxene. The Tara ignimbrite has a composition intermediary to that of these two domes, being andesitic-rhyolithic. The Guacha Ignimbrite contains 62-65% SiO2, Puripicar 67-68% and the Tara Ignimbrite 63%. Plagioclase and quartz are found in all ignimbrites.</p><br>
<p>Geological considerations indicate that the Guacha ignimbrite was stored at a depth of 5 - and the Tara ignimbrite at a depth of 5.3 -. Zircon temperatures are 716 &deg;C, 784 &deg;C and 705 &deg;C for Guacha, Tara and Chajnantor respectively.</p><br>
<h2>Climate</h2><br>
<p>The climate of the Central Andes is characterized by extreme aridity. The eastern mountain chain of the Andes prevents moisture from the Amazon from reaching the Altiplano area. The area is also too far north for the precipitation associated with the Westerlies to reach Guacha. This arid climate may go back to the Mesozoic and was enhanced by geographical and orogenic changes during the Cenozoic.</p><br>
<p>Oxygen isotope analysis indicates that the Guacha caldera ignimbrites have had little influence from meteoric waters. This is consistent with the climate of the Guacha region displaying long-term aridity for the last 10 mya as well as with the scarcity of pronounced geothermal systems in the APVC which are essentially limited to the El Tatio and Sol de Manana fields.</p><br>
<h2>Eruptive history</h2><br>
<p>Guacha has been the source of eruptions with volumes of more than 450 km3 dense rock equivalents. These eruptions in Guacha&#39;s case have a Volcanic explosivity index of 8. The close succession of multiple large scale eruptions indicates that plutons feeding such eruptions are assembled over millions of years.</p><br>
<p>The Guacha ignimbrite (including the Lowe Tara Ignimbrite, Chajnantor Tuff, Pampa Guayaques Tuff and possibly the Bonanza Ignimbrite) was first considered part of another ignimbrite named Atana Ignimbrite. It has a minimum volume of 1,300 km3 and covers a surface area of at least 5,800 km&sup2;. Several different dates have been determined on the basis of argon-argon dating, including 5.81±0.01 on biotite and 5.65±0.01 mya on sanidine, which is the preferred age. Various samples are separated by distances of up to 130 km, making this ignimbrite among the most widespread in the Andes. One stream spreads 60 km northwards past Uturunku volcano along the Quetena valley until Suni K&#39;ira. Some ash deposits in the northern Chilean Coast Range are linked to the Guacha eruption. The Guacha ignimbrite was also known as Lower Tara at first.</p><br>
<p>The later Tara ignimbrite (including the Upper Tara Ignimbrite, the Filo Delgado Ignimbrite and the Pampa Tortoral Tuff) forms the western dome of the Guacha caldera and spreads mostly north and southeast, between Argentina, Bolivia and Chile. It has a minimum volume of 800 km3 and covers a surface area of at least 1,800 km&sup2; in Chile and 2,300 km&sup2; in Bolivia where it was at first not recognized. Some outflows are more than 200 m thick. Several different dates have been determined on the basis of argon-argon dating, including 3.55±0.01 on biotite and 3.49±0.01 mya on sanidine, which is the preferred age. The Chajnantor lavas and the Rio Guacha dome in the caldera have been K-Ar dated at 3.67±0.13 and 3.61±0.02 mya respectively. This ignimbrite ponded inside the Guacha caldera, and one particularly thick layer (&gt;200 m) is found beneath Zapaleri stratovolcano. This ignimbrite was formerly known as Upper Tara. Geological considerations indicate that this ignimbrite formed from pre-existent melts and an influx of andesitic magma.</p><br>
<p>The Puripica Chico ignimbrite is known for having formed the Piedras de Dali hoodoos, named like that by tourists because of their surreal landscape. It has a volume of 10 km3 and it was apparently erupted at the hinge of the Guacha caldera. It has been argon-argon dated at 1.72±0.01 mya, making it the youngest Guacha caldera volcanite.</p><br>
<p>The Puripicar ignimbrite has a volume of 1,500 km3 and is 4.2 mya old. After research indicated that it was different from another ignimbrite named Atana, it was originally linked to the Guacha caldera but Salisbury et al. in 2011 linked the Tara ignimbrite to Guacha instead. Another ignimbrite associated with Guacha is the Guataquina Ignimbrite named after Paso de Guataquina. It covers an area of 2,300 km&sup2; and has an approximate volume of 70 km3. It was later interpreted to be a combination of the Guacha, Tara and non-Guacha Atana ignimbrites.</p><br>
<p>The Charles W. Jenkins House is a historic house at 67 Pine Street in Bangor, Maine. Built in 1845-46, it is a well-preserved example of a Gothic Revival cottage in an urban setting. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Jenkins House is set on the east side of Pine Street, just south of State Street in Bangor&#39;s downtown area. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, roughly square in shape, with a peaked side gable roof which has a full second story under it, and a front facing steeply-pitched gable. The main (west-facing) facade is three bays wide, with the center entrance sheltered by a portico that has turned posts, a spindled frieze, and a jigsawn balcony rail above. The flanking bays have paired sash windows framed by louvered triangles above and drip molding at the side. The sides of the house are five bays at the first floor, three at the second, and one at the attic level, all with single sash windows that have similar trim. The interior contains high-quality trim elements exhibiting a diversity of styles, including early Italianate surrounds, a Federal style staircase, and original Greek Revival chimney surrounds on the second floor.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1845-46 for Charles W. Jenkins, a Falmouth native who had married a Bangor woman. His choice of style and builders was probably influenced by relatives who were in the Episcopal church, which had recently built the Gothic Revival St. John&#39;s Episcopal Church. The house is a relatively free adaptation of the principles promoted by Andrew Jackson Downing in Cottage Residences.</p><br>
<p>The Old Post Office is a historic former post office building at 35 Washington Street in Biddeford, Maine. Built in 1914, it is a fine local example of Classical Revival architecture, and a prototype for post offices built in the following decades. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. It now houses commercial offices.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Post Office stands at the corner of Washington and Federal Streets, at the edge of Biddeford&#39;s Main Street business district. It is a single story masonry structure, built with a steel and concrete frame which is clad in red brick and granite trim. Its main facade is five bays wide, each bay articulated by granite quoining. The outer two bays house rectangular windows and are topped by stone panels, while the middle three have round-arch openings. The entrance is in the center bay, and has double doors flanked by pilasters and topped by an entablature that separates it from the half-round transom window. The flat roof has a modillioned cornice and is surrounded by a balustrade. The side facade, facing Federal Street, has a simpler secondary entrance and window bays similar to the outer ones on the main facade.</p><br>
<p>The building was designed by the Office of the Supervising Architect at the United States Treasury Department, then under the direction of James Knox Taylor. It was built in 1914, and its only major exterior modification has been the replacement of its original revolving front door with the present configuration, which took place in the 1930s. The design of this building is typical of later Classical Revival post offices built in the 1920s and 1930s. The building was government-owned and vacant in 1973, and now houses commercial offices.</p><br>
<p>The Third Street Bridge is a historic bridge which carries Third Street across a railroad between Pine and Elm Streets in Delavan, Illinois. The bridge was built by the Kellogg Bridge Company in the 1870s and originally served as a railroad bridge at an unknown site in Tennessee. The City of Delavan purchased the bridge in 1907 and brought it to its current site on Third Street. The bridge is a double intersectional Warren pony truss; it is one of two bridges of its type remaining in Illinois and the oldest metal truss bridge in the state. The Warren truss design consists of alternating equilateral triangles along the sides of the bridge; the bridge has two sets of overlapping Warren trusses on each side, making it double intersectional.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 20, 1999.</p><br>
<p>The Waltmire Bridge is a historic bridge which carried Locust Road across the Mackinaw River 4.9 mi south of Tremont, Illinois. The bridge was built in 1910 by contractor Edward Cooney at the site of Waltmire&#39;s Ford, a shallow point in the river that could only be easily crossed when water levels were low. Both the ford and the bridge were named for local farmer John Waltmire. The bridge has a steel Pratt through truss design, which consists of vertical compression supports and diagonal tension supports. The Pratt truss was a common bridge type in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries; the Waltmire Bridge is a relatively long example of the type at 187 ft. The bridge, which is now closed to traffic, is one of two surviving metal truss bridges across the Mackinaw River.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 5, 1999.</p><br>
<p>The Peoria Lock and Dam is a historic lock and dam complex on the Illinois River at Creve Coeur, Illinois. The complex was built in 1938-39 as part of an effort to make the river navigable and establish a route for barges between Chicago and the Mississippi River. The USA Army Corps of Engineers designed the complex; their influence is particularly evident in the dams control station, as the State of Illinois designed most other dam control stations along the river. The lock has a standard 100 x chamber, similar to other locks on the river, and a vertical lift of 11 ft. The dam is 536 ft long and includes 108 wicket gates and a Tainter gate; it is one of two Illinois dams which still uses wicket gates. The control station is for the most part a large, functional building, though it has Art Deco surrounds at the main entrance. The district also contains an original maneuver boat designed to raise and lower the dams wicket gates; the boat is still used and is one of four boats of its kind left in the United States.</p><br>
<p>The complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 10, 2004.</p><br>
<p>The Holmes Cottage is a historic house at 521 Main Street in Calais, Maine. Estimated to have been built about 1820, it is the oldest surviving structure in the town, and is notable for its association with Dr. Job Holmes, a leading physician during the community&#39;s formative years. The cottage, now owned by the St. Croix Historical Society and operated by them as the Dr. Job Holmes Cottage & Museum, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Holmes Cottage is located on the south side of Main Street (United States Route 1), a short way east of the downtown area. Just to its east stands the Dr. Job Holmes House, also a property of the St. Croix Historical Society. The cottage is a 1-1/2 story wood frame structure, five bays wide, with a side gable roof, central chimney, and clapboard siding. The main facade is symmetrical, with a center entrance in a two-story projecting gabled section, which is flanked on the roof by gabled dormers. The interior follows a typical center-chimney plan, with a narrow winding staircase in front of the chimney, the parlor to the left, kitchen to the right, and a long narrow room behind. The parlor exhibits particularly well-preserved original Federal period woodwork and hardware.</p><br>
<p>The construction date of the house is unknown, with local tradition placing it before 1805. Its first documented owner was Artemus Ward, a Boston land speculator, who bought it in 1805. It later was acquired by Dr. Job Holmes, who lived there with his family until the house next door was built in the 1850s. It remained the Holmes family until it was given to the St. Croix Historical Society in 1954.</p><br>
<p>Dundret  is a fell , located just outside the town Gällivare in Sweden. Standing east of the main chain of the Scandinavian Mountains Dundret is an inselberg.</p><br>
<p>Dundret has a ski resort with nine pistes as well as a ramp for ski jumping and trails for cross country skiing. The skiing season at Dundret usually starts at the beginning of November and ends in late April. For this reason many national skiing teams start their seasonal training there. Through the years many international contests have been held at Dundret and in 1983 a downhill World cup competition took place here.</p><br>
<p>The peak of Dundret can be reached by car. From the western peak one eleventh of the area of Sweden can be seen in clear weather. The midnight sun is also clearly visible from the beginning of June to the middle of July.</p><br>
<p>The entire fell is a nature preserve, protected since 1970. The name Dundret comes from the Finnish word tunturi (fell), which in turn comes from the Sami word tuoddar (low fell).</p><br>
<p>Monument Peak is a summit in the San Bernardino Mountains, of San Bernardino County, California. It lies at an elevation of 5272 feet.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Monument Peak is the location where the Mohave Trail and the crossed the crest of the San Bernardino Mountains after ascending from the headwaters of the Mojave River up Sawpit Canyon and descended down the ridge between Cable Canyon and Devil Canyon to the San Bernardino Valley at the mouth of Cajon Pass.</p><br>
<p>The Garces-Smith Monument is located on the summit on Forest Road 2N49. This marker indicates the path of the Mohave Indian Trail, a centuries old trade route linking the tribes of the Colorado River to those of the Pacific Ocean. It also memorializes two noted early travelers, Father Francisco Garcés, who in 1776 became the first known missionary explorer to travel across San Bernardino County and leave a written record of his experiences and Jedediah Smith, who in 1826, was the first known Anglo-American to use the Mohave Trail. A historical marker was placed on the site September 19, 1931, by the San Bernardino County Historical Society.</p><br>
<p>In 1829–30 Santa Fe, New Mexico, merchant Antonio Armijo led a trade party of 60 men and 100 mules to California, opening the Old Spanish Trail, following most of the route pioneered by those two pioneer explorers. Armijo did not cross over the mountains by the Mojave Trail route over Monument Peak but followed a route he called "San Bernardino Canyon" from the upper Mojave River west through Cajon Pass and down Crowder Canyon and Cajon Canyon, known to the vaqueros of the San Bernardino de Sena Estancia who had come to their aid with food.</p><br>
<p>Gillette&#39;s Grist Mill is a historic grist mill on Maple Hollow Road in New Hartford, Connecticut. Probably built in the mid-19th century, it is an extremely rare example of a grist mill with a surviving water wheel. The mill property was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Gillette&#39;s Grist Mill is located in what is now a rural area in central New Hartford. It is set on the northern bank of the Nepaug River, a short way west of where Maple Hollow Road crosses. Although the area supported more industry in the 19th century, this is the only surviving industrial building amid a cluster of houses. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure set on a high stone foundation that include a large wheel pit. It is built in a manner similar to mid-19th century barns. Elements of the power generation and transmission equipment dating to c. 1870 survive, including the water wheel and a series of iron gears that connect it to drive shafts that rotated the grindstones. Elements of the raceways delivering water to the mill survive on either side, although some have been filled in.</p><br>
<p>The history of this site for industrial use probably began in the early 19th century, when Joseph Gillette operated a series of industries on the river, including two sawmills, a gristmill, carding mill, and turning shop. The gristmill was acquired by his children in 1840, but did not thrive as grain milling operations became increasingly larger and regional, and was shut down by 1880. The technology that survives in the building appears to date to about 1870; the building&#39;s construction date is unknown, but is consistent mid-19th century construction methods.</p><br>
<p>The Paugnut Forest Administration Building  is a historic building at 385 Burr Mountain Road in Burr Pond State Park, Torrington, Connecticut. Built in 1937 by a crew of the Civilian Conservation Corps , it is one of the finest examples of Bungalow/Craftsman architecture built by the CCC in the state. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Paugnut Forest Administration Building is located on the east side of Burr Pond State Park, in a cluster of administrative buildings located on the site of the former CCC camp. This area is located northeast of the main parking and beach area of the park. The building is a 1-1/2 story structure, built of stone and wood, and covered by a cross-gabled roof. It has a T shape, with a deeply set porch under the east-facing gable. Its walls are mainly rubblestone, as are the porch supports. Roughly dressed granite steps lead to the porch at the center. The gable above the porch has exposed wooden rafters, and bracing beams at its front.</p><br>
<p>Burr Pond State Park, which is surrounded by Paugnut State Forest, was acquired by the state in 1929 from the Borden family, who had operated a milk condensing factory, the first of its type, on the pond&#39;s shore. The facilities of the park were largely established by the CCC crews established in the camp between 1933 and 1937. This building served as the administrative headquarters for the camp, and has seen a variety of mainly administrative uses by the state parks department since then. It is one of the best-preserved CCC-built buildings in the state.</p><br>
<p>Castle of Warmian Bishops in Olsztyn is a castle built in the fourteenth-century in the Gothic architectural style. The castle had the role of being the administration headquarters for the Bishops of Warmia. The most well-known administrator was Nicolaus Copernicus between 1516 and 1521. The largest expository room is the refectory with a diamond vault built around 1520. Currently, the castle houses the Museum of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The castle was built between 1346 and 1353; made up of one wing to the north-east of the courtyard. The castle was surrounded by a line of fortifications and a ditch which lead to the Łyna River with a bascule bridge. The south-east wing of the castle was built in the fifteenth-century. The tower from the fourteenth century, was placed in the eastern corner of the courtyard, and reconstructed in the early sixteenth-century, giving the castle a circular look in a square formation; the tower having 40 metres in height. During the reconstruction of the tower, the castles fortifications were raised to 12 metres in height. By this, the castle became a major bastion located on the borders of Olsztyn, securing its entrance. The castle belonged to the Bishops of Warmia, which together with the Bishop of Warmia, which until 1454 was protected by the Teutonic Order. This made the castle a strategic place for the Polish-Teutonic Wars. In 1410, during the Battle of Grunwald, the castle had surrendered itself to the Polish Army without any battles, however in 1414 the castle was seized after a siege lasting a few days. During the Thirteen Years War (1454–66), the castle was being captured multiple times by both powers. The Teutonic Order had endangered the town of Olsztyn once more, and for the last time in 1521. In the years of 1516 to 1521, the administrator of the castle was Nicolaus Copernicus, who protected the castle from a Teutonic siege. In the sixteenth, the castle was also used as the headquarters for two Warmian Bishops, which at the same time were two writers: Johannes Dantiscus (Father of Polish Diplomacy); and Marcin Kromer who wrote numerous hymns in Latin, as well as scientific documents and literature in Polish.</p><br>
<p>Over time the castle&#39;s militaristic importance diminished, and its role for the housing of the Bishops of Warmia became less favourable. In 1758, a direct entrance from Olsztyn was built, and a palace wing was built; the expansion meant that many of the fortifications were deconstructed. In 1779, Prince-Bishop Ignacy Krasicki stayed at the castle. After the seeding of Warmia in 1772, the castle was therefore controlled by the state. In 1845, the bridge connecting the castle to the town was replaced with a levee, the ditch was removed. Between 1901 and 1911, the castle underwent various renovations; this included the change in floor levels, and arched windows in the cloister. The castle became the Museum of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship in 1946; apart from various exhibitions the museum also hosts the Olsztyn Artistic Summer (Olsztyńskie Lato Artystyczne).</p><br>
<p>The US Post Office-Sanford Maine is the main post office of Sanford, Maine. It is located at 28 School Street, near the city&#39;s central business district. Built in 1932 and enlarged to include other federal offices in 1965, it is an architecturally distinguished building with Classical and Colonial Revival features. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The main Sanford post office is located at the northeast corner of School and Mousam Streets, two blocks southeast of the city center. It is a tall single story brick building, with its primary entrance facing School Street and a secondary entrance on Mousam. A lower single-story addition is connected to the building at its eastern end, which has a separate entrance. The main block is red brick, laid in Flemish bond, with granite and marble trim elements. The main entrance is sheltered by a marble portico supported by marble columns. Three bays at the center of the facade project slightly, and are topped by a gabled pediment. Its corners are quoined, as are the main corners. The secondary entrance also has a marble surround, with pilasters instead of columns. The interior lobby fixtures and furnishings are all original.</p><br>
<p>The building was constructed in 1932, to a design by John P. Thomas of Portland. The design work was funded by a federal Depression-era program intended to provide employment for regional architects. In 1965 the building was enlarged to include other federal offices.</p><br>
<p>Roxbury Center is the central village of Roxbury, Connecticut. Centered at the junction of Connecticut Routes 67 and 317, it has been the center of town civic life since the mid-18th century. The village was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Roxbury is a rural hill community in northwestern Connecticut, just east of New Milford. Originally part of Woodbury, it was separately incorporated in 1796. It was established as a separate parish of Woodbury in the 1730s, with a church built at a small settlement southeast of the present town center. The oldest building in the current center is a 1740 tavern, later modified to have Greek Revival features. It became the dominant village in the community beginning the 1790s, and its architecture is dominated by that period and the following 50-60 years. One of the town&#39;s most famous native sons, American Revolutionary War hero Seth Warner, is buried beneath an obelisk on the town green.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is organized mainly around the triangular junction of Wellers Bridge Road, North Street, and Church Street, with South Street extending south just west of that junction. It covers more than 200 acre of surrounding land, including land cleared for agriculture, which set the village apart from its surroundings. Most of the buildings included in the district are on Wellers Bridge Road or Church Street, the majority of them residences in the Federal or Greek Revival style. Examples of later Victorian or Colonial Revival style are also present. Prominent public buildings include the Roxbury Public Library, built in 1937, the mid-19th century town hall, and two churches.</p><br>
<p>The Colebrook Store is a historic commercial building at 559 Colebrook Road in the village center of Colebrook, Connecticut. Built in 1812, it has operated as a local general store since then, and is an architectural landmark for its two-story temple front. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Colebrook Store stands prominently in the rural community&#39;s village center, at the northwest corner of Route 183 (Colebrook Road) and Rockwell Road. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. Its front is distinguished by a two-story Federal temple front, consisting of a fully pedimented gable supported by four slender Tuscan columns. At the center of the gable is a Federal style half-round fan. Behind the columns, the facade is symmetrical and covered with flushboarding, with windows flanking doorways on both levels; the second-floor doorway having previously served as a loading entry. The doorways and windows appear to be late 19th-century replacements, as are a number of the fixtures inside the store. Features from that period include hardwood flooring, tin ceilings, and counters.</p><br>
<p>The store was built in 1812 by William Swift, a local carpenter whose principal product was bedsteads. Swift was apparently well traveled, and was able to execute a distinct interpretation of the Adam style of Federal architecture in this building. He is also credited with construction of the Solomon Rockwell House in Winsted. The store has long been a fixture of the rural community, often used as a reference point in 19th-century descriptions of the area. It continues to serve the community and tourists as a general store.</p><br>
<p>Bridgewater Center Historic District encompasses the traditional town center of Bridgewater, Connecticut. Cenetered at the junction of Main Street with Clapboard and Hat Shop Hill Roads, it developed in the early 19th century as a civic center, even before the town&#39;s 1856 incorporation from New Milford. The architecture of the center is largely reflective of the first half of the 19th century, including Greek Revival and Federal style buildings. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Bridgewater was original part of New Milford, and was settled in the mid-18th century. It was formally separated from New Milford in 1856. The center village began to take shape with the construction in 1807 of the Congregational Church at a geographically central part of "The Neck", as the portion of New Milford east of the Housatonic River was then known. The village soon grew, mainly to the area just south of the church along Main Street. The Center Park, between Main and Center Streets, which functions as a town green, was laid in 1856 after the town&#39;s incorporation. The village benefitted economically from hat manufacturers, whose operations were to the west (further along Hat Shop Hill Road) and supported a bustling town center. The area has seen relatively little new development since the early 20th century.</p><br>
<p>The historic district extends mainly north-south along Main Street, from Warner Street in the south to a stream crossing in the north. It extends a short way west on Hat Shop Hill Road, which forms a four-way junction with Main Street and Clapboard Road near the center of the district. There are more than 60 historic buildings in the district, including the 1807 Congregation church (restyled with Greek Revival elements in 1842. Also at that road junction is St. Marks Episcopal Church, a distinctive example of Gothic Revival architecture in wood. The present and former town halls are also both in the district, as is a distinctive Queen Anne commercial block on the west side of South Main Street. One of the districtst latest historic buildings is the 1929 Burnham School.</p><br>
<p>The Woodbury Historic District No. 1 encompasses the linear town center of Woodbury, Connecticut. Extending along two miles of Main Street , from Flanders Road in the north to Old Sherman Hill Road in the south, the district represents an architectural cross section of the town history, from the late 17th century to the present. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 11, 1971.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Woodbury was settled by colonists in 1673, having purchased its land from the Potatuck people. The early settlement was made along a long-standing Native American trail, now roughly followed by Main Street. It was incorporated in 1674, and was the mother town for several surrounding communities, achieving its present municipal bounds by 1807. It was a prosperous agricultural community in the 18th and early 19th century, the period to which much of the town center&#39;s architecture dates.</p><br>
<p>The historic town center stretches for about two miles along Main Street, with branching elements along some of the side streets. Its northernmost extent is Flanders Road, and its southern end is at Old Sherman Hill Road. In an area of more than 200 acre, there are 161 historically significant buildings. About half were built before 1830, including thirteen that were built before 1740. The oldest buildings, houses and barns, date to the 1680s. The Glebe House, built in 1740, is also historically important as the site of an early foundational meeting of the Episcopal Church. There are nine churches in the district, including three Federal style buildings erected before 1820. The visually most prominent is the Roman Catholic church, which was built in 1902.</p><br>
<p>The Washington Green Historic District encompasses the historic village green of the town of Washington, Connecticut, and much of the surrounding village center. It extends mainly along Kirby and Woodbury Roads, and includes a diverse collection of architecture from the 18th to early 20th centuries. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Washington village was settled in 1734, and its Congregational society was formed in 1741. The basic layout of the town green dates to this early period. The surrounding area developed agriculturally, and the village center&#39;s growth was boosted by the founding in 1850 of The Gunnery, a private boarding school still in operation today. In the late 19th century the village character began to be shaped by a growing number of summer residents.</p><br>
<p>The historic district covers an irregularly shaped area of about 85 acre, whose principal focal elements are the triangular town green and the campus of The Gunnery. Its southern boundary is Ferry Bridge Road, and its eastern boundary is Green Hill Road and Wykeham Road to its junction with Old North Road. On the west side, it extends along Kirby Road and Green Hill Road, and on the northern side it extends beyond the green for a short distance along Parsonal Lane. The district is characterized by a large number of white-painted wood frame structures, typically with Colonial, Colonial Revival, or Greek Revival styling, although this scheme has been augmented by a number of masonry structures dating mainly to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. A significant number of buildings in the district were designed by a Ehrick K. Rossiter, an architect who was a graduate of the Gunnery.</p><br>
<p>Barkhamsted Center Historic District is a historic district at the intersection of Center Hill Road and Old Town Hall Road</p><br>
<p>in Barkhamsted, Connecticut. It encompasses the surviving elements of Barkhamsted&#39;s original town center, most of which was flooded by the creation of Barkhamsted Reservoir in the early 20th century. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Barkhamsted Center is located near the geographic center of the roughly rectangular town. It is set on the western shore of Barkhamsted Reservoir, centered at the junction of Center Hill Road, Day Road, and Old Town Hall Road. The latter road now comes to an end near the reservoir shoreline. Five of the district&#39;s six buildings are public in nature: they are a church and parsonage, school, the old town hall, and a former tavern. The Center Schoolhouse, built in 1821, was originally a two-story building; it was converted to one story about 1880. The first story was removed, keeping the second. The school was moved from its original location, very near the reservoir, to its current location on Center Hill Road in 1980. The school is now a museum run by the Barkhamsted Historical Society. The oldest building is the Nathaniel Collins House, a -story frame Colonial at 131 Center Hill Road.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The town of Barkhamsted was incorporated in 1779, and has always had a rural character. It developed several small village centers, of which this one became the primary seat of civic activity. The town was divided in the 20th century by the creation of Barkhamsted Reservoir, serving the city of Hartford, on the East Branch Farmington River. The reservoir inundated much of the original village of Barkhamsted Center, and all of Barkhamsted Hollow. The town&#39;s civic center moved to the village of Pleasant Valley, and its main commercial center is now Riverton. As a result, the district shows the character of a rural mid 18th century community, now displaced by a 20th-century water supply reservoir.</p><br>
<p>Castle of the Pomeranian Dukes - a medieval castle in the town of Szczecinek, for the Pomeranian Dukes. The southern wing of the castle was built in the early fourteenth century, in the location of a former Slavic gord. Due to reconstructions in the sixteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries the castle has not kept its original characteristics.</p><br>
<p>Formerly, the castle was located on an island in the Trzesiecko Lake, however after the lowering of the water (two land ameliorations had been made in the town in 1780 to 1784 and 1866 to 1868) the castle was located on a peninsula. In the footsteps of the castle is located the City Park which was founded between 1875 and 1903. After the Second World War the castle was used by the army, later used as a recreational ground. In 1996, the castle was sold, and is currently used as an office, access to the courtyard is unavailable.</p><br>
<p>In 2011, the castle had undergone a renovation, and its ceremony opening was September 14, 2013. The castle is the headquarters for the Castle Conference Centre (Centrum Konferencyjne ZAMEK), where there is space for 150 people, the castle also houses a gallery.</p><br>
<p>The Peoples State Forest Nature Museum is a state-run museum on Greenwood Road in the Peoples State Forest in Barkhamsted, Connecticut. It features displays on forestry, plants and animals native to Connecticut, local history, rocks and minerals, and insects. The museum is open seasonally from Friday through Monday. The rustic style building was constructed in 1935 by the Civilian Conservation Corps and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Building history</h2><br>
<p>The Peoples State Forest Nature Museum is located in the southern part of Peoples State Forest, which is located on the east side of the West Branch Farmington River. The museum is set in a clearing on the west side of Greenwood Road, a forest road providing vehicular access to the forest&#39;s interior. It is a single-story structure, built mainly out of rubblestone, with a bellcast gabled roof covered in wooden shingles. The main facade is oriented to the southwest, with large window openings flanking the main entrance. A small stone ell extends to the right, partly sandwiching a rubblestone chimney. The interior of the museum is finished with a bluestone floor, chestnut paneling on the walls, and exposed queenpost truss timber framing with wrought iron strapping for the roof.</p><br>
<p>The museum was built in 1934-35 by a crew of the Civilian Conservation Corps based across the river in American Legion State Forest, and was formally dedicated by Governor Wilbur Cross in 1935.</p><br>
<p>The World War I Memorial of Norfolk, Connecticut stands at the corner of Greenwoods Road West and North Street in the town&#39;s village center. The Rustic style memorial was built in 1921 to a design by New York City architect Alfredo S.G. Taylor. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984 for its association with the architect.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Norfolks World War I Memorial stands in a triangular grassy area at the junction of Greenwoods Road West and North Street, near the northern end of the village center. The monument itself is a triangular structure built out of ashlar granite, standing about 15 ft high. Each of its three legs rises in a bellcast shape to a common peak, beneath which hangs a replica of the Liberty Bell. Bronze tablets commemorating the towns World War I soldiers are placed on each of the monument&#39;s curved triangular faces, just above stone bench projections.</p><br>
<p>The memorial was designed by Alfredo S.G. Taylor, an architect based in New York City who spent many summers in Norfolk. He is credited with more than thirty commissions in the community, including public and commercial buildings as well as many private residences. The memorial was dedicated in 1921. It is stylistically in keeping with Taylor&#39;s previous uses of stone and rustic styling. In giving him the commission, the town laid down four requirements:</p><br>
<p>It should be large enough to express the forces of war</p><br>
<p>It should avoid the need for a sculpture</p><br>
<p>It should be made of local materials</p><br>
<p>It should be simple enough to be constructed by the relatives of the war dead</p><br>
<p>Rumsey Hall was an historic academic building at 12 Bolton Hill Road in Cornwall, Connecticut. Built in 1848, it was a distinguished example of Greek Revival architecture that served as home to a number of academic institutions, including the first campus of the Rumsey Hall School. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990,</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Rumsey Hall building stood on the west side of the village of Cornwall, on the north side of Bolton Hill Road just west of the Congregational church. It was a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a cruciform plan, covered by a gabled roof and finished in wooden clapboards. Its front facade consisted of a six-column Greek Revival temple front, the columns rising to an entablature that encircled the building, with a fully pedimented gable above. The gable had a rectangular multipane window at its center. The building corners were pilastered.</p><br>
<p>The building was erected in 1848 to house a boarding school called the Alger Institute, which was one of a number of such schools established in the region after the Housatonic Railroad began service in 1842. The school only survived until 1851, and was converted for use as a boarding house for summer visitors in 1884. It was converted back to academic use in 1886, but none of its occupants were long-lived. In 1907 the Rumsey Hall School moved into the premises from Seneca Falls, New York, and operated here until 1949. It was purchased by a neighboring landowner in 1855, and bequested to the town in 1986, which made plans to adapt the building for use as its town hall. The building was demolished in 2010.</p><br>
<p>Koło Castle - a Gothic castle, which according to Jan Długosz was raised by Casimir III the Great before the year of 1362 . The castle secured the route from Greater Poland to Łęczyca, in the lowlands of the River Warta. The castle is located on an artificial hill on a meander of the River Warta. During the raising of the castle, the river had a number of tributaries in the area, which were important for the castle&#39;s strategic location.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>According to the documents by Jan Długosz, the castle was built before 1362; when Casimir III the Great called for the construction of the castle. The castle was built towards the end of Casimir&#39;s reign, and it is uncertain if the king has ever stayed in the castle; as there are no sources which would state otherwise.</p><br>
<p>Archaeological finds indicate that the first defensive structures were built before the reign of Casimir III the Great; the tower - a donjon was built on a stone foundation, surrounded by a wooden and soil embankment which may have been built under the order of Bolesław the Pious (according to M. Żemigała), Henryk Głogowczyk, Wenceslaus II of Bohemia (according to T. Poklewski-Kozieło). The gord is surrounded by the flood waters of the River Warta.</p><br>
<p>During the reign of Casimir III the Great, the town hall, the Church of the Holy Cross were built in Koło (the town&#39;s first stone buildings).</p><br>
<p>Casimir III the Great received the legation of the Lizard Union in the castle. After the Battle of Grunwald important decisions regarding the Polish–Lithuanian–Teutonic War were thought of in the castle. During the years of 1476 to 1481 the castle was the residence for the Princess Anna of Sochaczew. In the mid-sixteenth century the castle began to deteriorate. In 1655 the castle was taken by the Swedes. In the eighteenth century Augustus III of Poland gave the castle to the Bernardinians of Koło, which had partially deconstructed the castle to reconstruct a damaged monastery; however due to the strong mortar the castle could not be fully deconstructed.</p><br>
<p>The castle in Koło was an important stronghold. In the 1950s the castle had undergone renovation. During archaeological studies in the 1970s the archaeologists discovered an unknown foundation, which allowed for the full reconstruction of the castle. Many other archaeological finds were discovered: glass from the windows, glass dishes and a chess piece. However it is unknown where the main gate of the castle is located.</p><br>
<p>Międyrzecz Castle - a castle surrounded by a dike, raised in around 1350 by Casimir III the Great in the place of a former gord from the second half of the ninth century, located on a small hill in between two floodplains of the Obra and Paklica Rivers.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The castle in Międzyrzecz was built on the location of a former wooden gord from the ninth century, located on a small hill in between two floodplains of the Obra and Paklica Rivers. It is most likely that in the thirteenth century a stone built tower was raised, and the full stronghold was complete in the mid-fourteenth century during the reign of Casimir III the Great. Due to the location of the stronghold, the castle was expanded and modernised, although that caste itself did not go through any major battles in the Medieval Times. In 1474, King Matthias Corvinus of Hungary took over the castle. In 1520, the castle was heavily damaged by the Teutonic Order during the war with Poland, after which the castle was modernised and in 1574 two bastions were built around the castle. In the year of 1655, the castle was destroyed by the Swedes. In the first half of the eighteenth century the castle was so damaged that even after reconstruction the castle was not able to be used. After the Second Partition of Poland the Prussian forces gave the castle to a Prussian family. The interior of the castle was used as a warehouse and the top floors for a winery.</p><br>
<p>Since 1945 the castle is used to house a museum. In the years of 1954 to 1958 a number of archaeological excavations were carried out. In the 1950s and 1960s the castle was renovated and stopped the castle from becoming a ruin. The gatehouse and nearby living quarters were reconstructed.</p><br>
<p>Selbari is a mountain range located in Nashik District in Maharashtra, India. Spanning east-west the hills form the northernmost extent of the Sahyadris and serve as a natural boundary between Nashik District and Dhule district. The range is gifted with a number of peaks including the only two-pinnacled peak of Mangi-Tungi rising to a considerable height of up to 1,331 meters.</p><br>
<p>Traditionally,the range is limited to the hills sprawling north of the Mausam River but extended definitions also include those south of the Mosam river which are connected to the former in a semi-circular loop.This shorter southern extension is known as the Dolbhari hills named after a village settlement around their base. To avoid disambiguity, sources refer to this agglomeration as the Selbari-Dholbari range.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>The mountain range was formed by the same historical events that gave birth to the Western Ghats. Resting on the Deccan Plateau geologically identified as a large igneous province, it consists of solidified Flood basalt dating back to the Cenozoic era.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The peaks progressively lose altitude towards the east, with westernmost peaks being twice as tall as those at the eastern end. East of this hill is situated the Selbari pass facilitating road communication in the depression caused by the headward erosion across this range by the Salvar nala, a tributary of the Panjhra river of Dhule district. Further east are situated the Hindabari pass and Thermal fort. Near the eastern extremity of this range within the district is situated the Galna fort, which has given its name to this line of hills, commanding a pass route from south to north. The western edge falls gently to the Dang region in Gujarat.</p><br>
<h2>List of notable peaks</h2><br>
<p>The Highest list in the Selbari range (excluding Dholbari) is the Mangi-Tungi peak with its higher pinnacle Mangi rising up to 4360 feet. If one includes the Dholbari range then, the tallest peak would be Salher which is also the highest fort and the second highest peak in Maharashtra.</p><br>
<p>Additional peaks in the Silbari-Dholbari range:</p><br>
<p>The Frankfort Dam impounds Marsh Stream near the center of Frankfort, Maine. Built in 1905 out of granite probably quarried at the nearby Mount Waldo Granite Works to provide power to local mills, it served for many years as a key element of the local economy. Its spillway has been adapted for use by a hydroelectric power station. The dam was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Frankfort Dam is located on Marsh Stream, just downstream from United States Route 1A in the center of Frankfort, Maine. It is built out of dry-laid cut granite blocks, and is about 250 ft long. The dam has a stepped height, with platforms at the ends 14 ft in height, and a long central section 9 ft high. It is about 5 ft wide at the top, with a flat and nearly vertical upstream side, and a downstream side that is stepped, getting thicker toward the base. A sluiceway was originally located on the west side of the dam, which was fed by a control gate in the western platform. This feature has largely been altered to provide for a fish ladder and small hydroelectric power generation plant.</p><br>
<p>The dam was built in 1905, and was at least the third on the location, which had been used since the late 18th century as a power source for grist and lumber mills. It was built by the Mount Waldo Granite Works, and is presumed to have been built out of their granite, although no documentation has been found to confirm this. The dam&#39;s water power was used by a variety of businesses until the 1970s. The fish ladder was built in 1982, and the power plant in 1985. The dam is now owned by the town of Frankfort.</p><br>
<p>Wallingford Hall is a historic house at 21 York Street  in Kennebunk, Maine. Built in 1805-06, it is an unusually grand expression of Federal architecture in the town, built by the regionally noted architect and builder Thomas Eaton, and one of the oldest surviving examples in the state of a connected farmstead. In the late 19th and early 20th century it was also home to William Barry, a noted architectural historian who wrote extensively on the architecture of southern Maine, and was an early promoter of the Colonial Revival in the area. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Wallingford Hall is set on a 4 acre property on the north side of York Street, near the western edge of Kennebunk&#39;s village center. The main house is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, five bays wide, with a hip roof, end chimneys, clapboard siding, and a granite foundation. The roof is ringed by a low wooden balustrade. The front (south-facing) facade is slightly asymmetrical, with the entrance at the center, with flanking sidelight windows and a leaded semi-oval fanlight window above. A flat-topped three-part Palladian window is set above the entrance, while the remaining windows are sash. The floors are separated by a band of flushboarding. A two-story ell extends to the north, and is joined to a six-bay carriage shed that extends west to a 19th-century barn, which is further joined to a modern barn by a short hyphen connector.</p><br>
<p>Wallingford Hall was built between 1804 and 1806 by Thomas Eaton for George Wallingford, a successful local lawyer. Eaton was a regionally prominent builder, whose documented surviving work stretches from York to Portland and is recognized for its high quality Federal style. Wallingford was a leading local citizen, serving on the constitutional convention of 1816 at which the Maine constitution was adopted, as well as in local offices and the state legislature. Wallingford&#39;s family retained ownership of the house until 1933. Its last owner of that family was William Barry, a noted local architect and architectural historian. He had detailed plans made of Wallingford Hall in 1882, and was influential in reviving interest in Colonial architectural styles in a number of high-profile architectural firms for which he worked. His 1874 Pen Sketches of Old Houses is believed to be the first study of historic American architecture.</p><br>
<p>The Singleton Family Cemetery is a historic cemetery on the western outskirts of Charleston, Arkansas. Established in the 1870s, it is the oldest resource associated with the early formation of Charleston, containing the burials of several of its earliest settlers. It contains more than 120 graves, only about 60 of which are marked. Its most prominent grave is that of Julia Singleton Cormack, one the community&#39;s first school teachers. It continues to be used by the Singleton family as a burial ground.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>

<p>The Tazewell Depot is a historic railroad station at 135 Railroad Avenue in Tazewell, Virginia. It is a long rectangular brick structure, one story in height, with a hip roof that has broad eaves supported by large brackets. Both the long street-facing and track-facing sides have projecting bay sections. The depot was built in 1928 by the Norfolk and Western Railway to serve passenger traffic on its line; the substantial freight volume was handled by a larger adjacent frame building. Passenger service ended about 1957, after which time the depot was also used for freight traffic, which was finally ended in 1974. It is one of two surviving depots that served on the Clinch River Line.</p><br>
<p>The depot was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<p>The Jálama is a 1,487 m mountain in western Spain.</p><br>
<h2>Etymology</h2><br>
<p>In the local language of the NE corner of Cáceres province the mountain is known as Xálima. Both names probably come from Paleohispanic languages. The Jálama valley is home to a Galician-like language known as Fala.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The mountain is located on the border between the provinces of Cáceres (autonomous community of Extremadura) and Salamanca (Castile and León). Its one of the highest peaks of the mountain range called Serra de Xálima. Its summit offers a good view on Salamancas upland.</p><br>
<p>Around 3 km NE from the summit, the Arroyo de la Cervigona waters create a 60 m waterfall, the highest in the area.</p><br>
<h2>Access to the summit</h2><br>
<p>The summit can be accessed from Acebo, through the Mirador de La Ventosa (794 m) and the mountain pass of Puerto de Perales.</p><br>
<p>First Methodist Episcopal Church of McKeesport, known since 1968 as the First United Methodist Church, is a historic church in McKeesport, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. The Late Gothic Revival style church has been in use for religious services and community events since its dedication. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The First Methodist Episcopal Church grew from circuit riding preachers in the Ohio valley area in 1787. Methodists met in a combined church built in 1819, with Presbyterians and Baptists, in the area that became Mckeesport. The First Methodist Episcopal Church congregation was incorporated in 1841. Growth had moved the congregation to a third church by 1876.</p><br>
<p>That church, at the corner of Walnut Street and Penny Avenue was destroyed by fire on July 11, 1924. Planning for a new building began soon after. Land was purchased along Fourteenth Avenue, now Cornell Street. Ground breaking was on Sunday, June 14, 1925, the completed church was dedicated on Sunday, November 21, 1926.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The church is built in three main sections, a Nave, a Chapel, and the Community building. The northern section, the Nave, with its north and south transepts form a cross when viewed from overhead. A bell tower is situated at the center of that cross.</p><br>
<p>The sandstone building is built on a steel-reinforced concrete foundation. No major changes have been made to the building since its construction.</p><br>
<p>Wegner Peak is the local name of an unusual porphyritic biotite granite peak of volcanic origin, located next to the Big Sandy River south of Signal, Arizona. This visually striking high point rises abruptly above the Big Sandy River valley near Hackberry Canyon, and is edged on the eastern side by a raised alluvial plain. The peak stands out due to its honey-gold and pinkish white colors which contrast with the surrounding local terrain. The peak is 3.5 miles SSE of Signal, Arizona.</p><br>
<p>The highest point of Wegner Peak is 1,850 ft in elevation, while its base is at approximately 1,340 ft. Wegner Peak sits mostly on private land and is bordered to the south and east by the Arrastra Mountain Wilderness. The local name of the peak, often used by some residents and hikers, originates from the family name of the peak&#39;s landowners. Officially, the mountain has no name listed on topographic maps.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>Wegner Peak was originally part of a series of igneous layers. The rock has been tilted with the formation of the Artillery Mountains. The mountain straddles the division of a local contact fault. The peak is part of a pluton composed of early Middle Proterozoic Granitic Rocks (1400-1450 Ma) from the Calymmian Period. Wegner Peak is mostly porphyritic biotite granite with large microcline phenocrysts, with local fine-grained border phases and aplite. The Big Sandy River bends around the mountain cutting through Hackberry and Signal Canyons approximately 500 ft below the peak. Madril Wash flanks the northwest side of the peak, nearly isolating the mass from the rest of the mountain range.</p><br>
<p>Ostróda Castle - a castle located in the region of the Ostróda County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship; in Poland.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first Teutonic stronghold in the area comes from 1270. This was a wooden structure, located on a former Prussian gord, located on a small island in between the waters of the Lake Dwęrcki and the River Drwęca. The castle in Ostróda was at first the headquarters for the Starosta of Ostróda, who was subordinate to the authority of the Komtur of Dzierzgoń. A new stronghold was built between 1350 and 1370. The Komtur of Ostróda Günter von Hohenstein is known for raising the castle in Ostróda and Teutonic Castle in Świecie. In contrast with the castle in Świecie, the Ostróda castle had no towers, which were rare in Teutonic architecture up until the fourteenth century. In 1381, two castle structures existed, a new and old, which were both burned down by Lithuanian Duke Kęstutis.</p><br>
<p>From a Teutonic scripture: "...castrum Osterode novum cum antiquoplene exustum est" – (the new castle in Ostróda together with the old one was completely burned down).</p><br>
<p>Getting ready for the new war with the Kingdom of Poland, the castle was surrounded by a moat. The moat was filled with water. The moat was filled in with soil in the eighteenth century. The access point from the east of the castle was by a bascule bridge, which led to a granite gate. The village surrounding the castle served means for keeping storage, brewery and a forge. In the Battle of Grunwald the castle was used to support the defence against the Polish army. The castle became greatly diminished in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. During World War II the castle was burned down by the Wehrmacht Army. The castle&#39;s reconstruction began in 1974. Currently, the castle houses a gallery, library and a museum.</p><br>
