<p>Oświęcim Castle  is a castle raised in the Medieval Ages on the top of a hill, on the right bank of the River Soła in Oświęcim.</p><br>
<p>The castle comprises a thirteenth-century early-Gothic defence tower covered by a roof, a two-floor building built around a courtyard (with the old wing from the beginning of the sixteenth century) and additional connections between the wings built in 1929–31. Most of the fortifications around the castle were destroyed due to the changing river course of the River Soła.</p><br>
<p>On the top of the hill where the castle is located there are remains of the fortifications. There are two tunnels located underneath the castle, the older (built before 1914) and the second which was excavated by the Germans (1940–1944). The tunnels were used as bunkers.</p><br>
<p>Pęzino Castle - a castle located in centre of the village of Pęzino, West Pomeranian Voivodeship; in Poland. The castle is located by the River Krąpiel and its tributary River Pęzinka. Currently, the castle is privately owned, its owner uses the stronghold primarily for hosting events, conferences and wedding celebrations.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The castle was raised by the Knights of Malta, which since 1382 had owned the castle - seeded to their ownership by the Borkowie. The castle has had a strategic location, being located in between the two rivers of Krąpiel and Pęzinka. The stronghold was built on an artificial hill, and its layout characteristics are similar to the nearby castles in Łagowo and Swobnica, with a four-part fortification wall surrounding an irregular courtyard which is linked up with the walls by living quarters, connected to the west of the fortification wall. The living quarters had windows only on the interior side of the castle to the courtyard.</p><br>
<p>In 1492, the castle was seeded as a feud to the Borkowie from the Knights of Malta. The Borkowie did not change the castle greatly apart from adding windows in the western fortification walls and adding gables to the living quarters. In 1600, the castle undergone extensive works adding a three floor living quarters, connected to the fortification walls. The castle was plastered and covered with bossage.</p><br>
<p>Since 1680, the castle was appointed to the Puttkamerów family, which became the castle&#39;s owners in 1703 In the mid-nineteenth century, a new wing has been built in a Gothic architectural style, known as Neo-Gothic. In the 1860s the Puttkamerów family deconstructed the outhouses around the castle, and in its place built gardens and a pavilion by the ruin of a chapel.</p><br>
<p>In 1935, a fire had devastated the eastern-wing of the castle. In 1936–1940, the castle was renovated and an additional gatehouse wing was built. After World War II, the castle was seized by the State Agricultural Farm in Pęzino. The castle began to slowly deteriorate. The renovation of the castle began in 1977 to 1990. The castle was sold by the State Agriculture Treasury in 1996 to a company called Rolmłyn.</p><br>
<p>The Marsoulas Cave in Southwestern France, near Marsoulas in the Haute-Garonne, is a small cave notable for its archaeological wealth, including Paleolithic cave paintings and ornaments from the Magdalenian. It consists of a straight gallery about 100 m long with parietal art along the entire length of the cave. The art includes human and animal  figures as well as geometric forms and has been described as being of "profound stylistic originality with few equivalents in the region from the same period". The prehistoric artists who produced these used the varied topography of the cave and ceiling to produce three-dimensional engravings and paintings in scales ranging between 2.2 m to tiny miniatures.</p><br>
<p>Excavations have been carried out since at least 1883 by a number of researchers including Henri Breuil and André Leroi-Gourhan and between these and the visitors attracted by the many publications describing the cave (the first was published in 1885), virtually all the easily accessible surfaces were damaged. Public entrance to the cave was closed in 1996 due to vandalism and graffiti. Engravings and paintings found in the cave have been dated to around 17,000 BP and an extensive program of photographing the decorated panels has been undertaken. These have been digitised and the cave interior laser scanned and 3D images produced with the intention of producing "different recreations of the cave and eventually offer a series of 3D environments for other researchers and the public at large to explore." These will include models of the cave today, as it might have looked when the rock art was new, a virtual version aimed at making the rock art more visible than it is today, and another which will attempt to model what the prehistoric shape of the cave would have been.</p><br>
<p>Utsira is an island in Rogaland county, Norway. Utsira Church and Utsira Lighthouse are located on the island.</p><br>
<p>The 5.9 km&sup2; island makes up almost all of Utsira municipality. The island lies about 18 km west of the island of Karmøy, with the Sirafjorden lying between the two islands. The island is only connected to the mainland by ferry. There are four regular ferry routes connecting the island to the town of Haugesund each day. The ferries are operated by Rutebåten Utsira.</p><br>
<p>Most of the island&#39;s population lives in the central valley that runs north-south on the island. There are about 200 residents of the island.</p><br>
<p>Utsira is known as the best birding site in Norway. There have been 317 different species recorded on Utsira.</p><br>
<p>Holden Town Hall is a historic civic and community building at 723 Main Road in Holden, Maine. Built in 1873, it is an architecturally distinctive blend of styles. The building served as town hall into the 1960s, and as the local Grange hall until 1995. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Holden Town Hall is located on Main Road (United States Route 1A), the principal thoroughfare through Holden, near the towns geographic center. It is located just west of the roads junction with Bagaduce Road, a principal road providing access to the northern part of town. The building is a tall 1-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a front-facing gable roof, original clapboard siding, and a recent (2009) concrete foundation; the latter is the result of the building have been moved back from the road about 200 ft. The foundation is edged with granite stones that formed its original foundation. The main facade, facing the street, is symmetrical, with a double-door entrance at the center, with flanking pilasters and a triangular transom window that has a cornice above. The flanking bays have sash windows, also topped by triangular cornices. In the attic level above the entrance are a pair of pointed-arch windows, again beneath a single triangular cornice. The eave of the roofline is decorated with jigsawn bargeboard trim. The building&#39;s interior retains all of its original hardware and fixtures, and provides two full stories, each with a large meeting space.</p><br>
<p>The building was constructed in 1873, and is one of the state&#39;s best-preserved examples of a late 19th-century municipal hall. It was apparently designed by an architect, whose identity is unknown. It is possibly the work of Bangor-based architect George W. Orff, since it stylistically resembles some of his other works. The building was where the town held its annual town meetings until about 1964, and continues to be used occasionally for civic functions such as smaller meetings and voting. It was also intended for use by the community for social events, a use that continues to this day. A local chapter of the Grange also used the hall between 1922 and 1995.</p><br>
<p>The Waterboro Grange is a historic civic building at 31 West Road in Waterboro, Maine. Built in 1948-50, it is a simplified recreation of a 1920s Craftsman/Bungalow building that was destroyed by a massive wildfire that swept through the region in 1947, and is one of the last Grange halls built in the state. In addition to serving as home to the local Grange organization since then, it has been a major community resource, hosting all manner of social and civic functions. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Waterboro Grange is located on the north side of West Road, a short way west of Waterboro&#39;s village center and United States Route 202. It is a single story wood frame structure, with a hip roof, wooden shingle siding, and a concrete block foundation. The rectangular building is oriented with its long axis perpendicular to the road, with the main entrance facing south. The main facade is symmetrical, with sash windows in the outer bays and a central entrance sheltered by a projecting hip-roof porch supported by square columns with simple capitals. The side walls have five windows, spaced symmetrically yet slightly unevenly.</p><br>
<p>The entrance opens into a wide foyer area, with stairs leading downstairs in one corner to a fully finished basement, and doors providing access to the main hall. Walls are finished in tongue-and-groove wainscoting, with plaster above. Ceilings consist of plaster panels with wooden battens between. The basement space consists of a dining room, kitchen, and storage space.</p><br>
<p>The Waterboro Grange #432 was established in 1904, and has since then been a mainstay of the rural community. Its first hall, previously used by the Odd Fellows, burned in 1911. The organization&#39;s first purpose-built structure was built in 1923; it was a two-story structure, built in a restrained vernacular Craftsman/Bungalow style. After a wildfire devastate the community in 1947, destroying that building among many others, the present single-story structure was built in homage to the earlier hall. The building is now owned by the Waterboro Historical Society; the Grange organization was reported in 2012 to be very small.</p><br>
<p>Kenmore Farm is a historic farm and educational property at 369 Kenmore Road, just outside Amherst, Virginia. The centerpiece of the more than 130 acre property is aa c. 1856 brick Greek Revival farmhouse, built by Samuel Garland, Sr., a prominent local lawyer and politician. The property was used intermittently between 1872 and 1899 as a preparatory high school, operated by Henry Aubrey Strode, who later became the first president of Clemson University. As such, its building complex includes a dormitory and apartment building in addition to a variety of mainly agricultural outbuildings, among which are a corn crib and barn, and the remnants of an outdoor summer kitchen. The property has seen predominantly agricultural use in the 20th century.</p><br>
<p>The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<p>The Kozjak Mountains  or Possruck Mountains  is a mountain chain in the Lavanttal or Noric Alps running north of the Drava along the border between the Austrian state of Styria and Slovenia. Its highest peak, the Klementkogel , lies on the border between Austria and Slovenia.</p><br>
<h2>Topography</h2><br>
<p>The mountain range is bounded in the north by the Saggau valley, in the south by the Drava or (called the Drau in Austria) and in the west by the Radl Pass (Slovene: Radelj), whilst in the east it transitions seamlessly near Spielfeld and Leutschach into the Slovene Hills (German: Windische Bühel, Slovene: Slovenske gorice). In the west the Poßruck is also called the Radlkamm.</p><br>
<p>The mountains reach their highest point, in the Klementkogel (or Kapaunerkogel, Sloven: Kapunar) in the municipality of Großradl in Austria.</p><br>
<p>The main chain of the mountains forms the watershed between the rivers Mur and Drau as well as the national border for much of its length. The border generally follows the boundary between the districts of Leibnitz and Marburg on the one hand and Deutschlandsberg and Windischgraz on the other, that are documented in the map sheets of the current topographic survey. Deviations from this arise from the fact that, in the survey of the border following the Treaty of Saint-Germain in 1919/20, the members of the border demarcation commission sometimes took account of the requests of farmers living on the crest and ensured that their farmsteads were incorporated either into Austria or the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>The Possruck is a low mountain range with a complex combination of crystalline, Palaeozoic and Tertiary rocks. Its geology has been extensively researched.</p><br>
<h2>Transport and tourism</h2><br>
<p>In the area of the mountains, the Radlpass Straße, or B76 federal highway, runs over the border between the Austrias West Styria and Slovenias Lower Styria, crossing over the Radl Pass. In addition several state and local roads, such as that from Langegg in the west to Jurij in the east, from Großwalz to the Kirche zum Heiligen Geist am Osterberg, from Großradl to St. Pankratzen/Sveti Pankraciji, from Oberhaag to Remšnik (Remschnigg), from Arnfels to Kapla (Kappel) and from Schloßberg to Gradišče (Schlossberg).</p><br>
<p>Because Slovenia is a member of the Schengen Agreement, there have been no border controls since 21 December 2007.</p><br>
<p>There are three Austrian long-distance footpaths in the mountains:</p><br>
<p>South Alpine Way (Südalpenweg, Route 03): traverses the length of the Possruck, the route running close to the national border</p><br>
<p>North-South Long-Distance Path (Nord-Süd-Weitwanderweg, Routhe 05): begins at the Radl Pass, the western end of the mountain chain</p><br>
<p>Mariazell Way (Mariazeller Weg, Route 06): passes through the area in the vicinity of Eibiswald</p><br>
<p>The Ross Bay Villa is a historic house museum, at 1490 Fairfield Road in Victoria, British Columbia, owned and operated by the Ross Bay Villa Society. The single-family home, built in 1865, is a Heritage Designated building in the City of Victoria. The Villa is one of only about 10 residences in Victoria known to survive from before 1870.</p><br>
<p>Originally located on a 1.9-acre parcel owned by Charles Buxton, an English philanthropist and MP, the one-storey cottage was built five km from the growing town of Victoria, well outside the existing town limits, and served only by a dirt trail to the nearest neighbours, Mrs. Isabella Ross (the first woman to own property in the colony), and Robert Burnaby. The house was largely surrounded by bush, farmland and the swamps of Fairfield, Greater Victoria. The first occupants were Francis James Roscoe and his wife Anna Letitia Roscoe.</p><br>
<p>The house was likely designed by John Wright, the only full-time professional architect practising in Victoria at the time. Wright has been described as the founding father of BC’s architectural establishment. The Villa, which was not so named until 1882-83, was designed in the popular Gothic Revival architecture style, in which John Wright specialised.</p><br>
<h2>Style</h2><br>
<p>The Gothic Revival elements at the Ross Bay Villa include the porch with turned columns and trefoil in the gable; finials on four peaks; and chamfered exterior window detailing.</p><br>
<h2>The house</h2><br>
<p>The house appears small from the outside, but measures approximately 1,650 square feet, all on one floor. The main house has 12-foot ceilings; the original rear kitchen annex is much more compact. Other significant design elements include: A split-flue chimney; an angled front bay with hipped roof; recessed porch with sidelights and transom and original front door, all originally finished in faux oak; an unusual double-ridged roof; six-over-six windows; an original cast-iron fireplace, a marbleized mantle; a plaster ceiling medallion.</p><br>
<h2>Property history</h2><br>
<p>In 1869, Sir James Douglas (governor), retired Governor of British Columbia, described the house, built four years earlier, in a letter to his daughter as a pretty cottage, half-buried in roses and honeysuckle…. Over time, it changed hands several times, and several large families were born and raised here. In 1912, the acreage was subdivided into 14 lots. The house straddled two lots, so retains both. By the late 1980s the residence needed major work, and in 1988 it was bought for potential development. The building continued to deteriorate and became an eyesore. In 1992, owners agreed to the property being placed on the Victoria City Heritage Register. However, development plans fell through, and in 1998 developers proposed to demolish the house, and replace it with townhouses. Heritage advocates encouraged The Land Conservancy of British Columbiato buy the property, for restoration as a heritage resource.</p><br>
<p>Today, the house and garden comprise a Historic house museum, operated by the Ross Bay Villa Society, open for tours and available for special events. One room is headquarters for the Old Cemeteries Society. The house and garden can be rented for such events as weddings.</p><br>
<h2>Occupants</h2><br>
<p>Ross Bay Villa has had several significant owners/occupants.</p><br>
<p>Francis James Roscoe (1830-78) and his wife, Anna Letitia Le Breton, raised five children in the house, until Roscoe’s early death, in 1878. Roscoe was grandson of the prominent Liverpool Unitarian reformer and MP, William Roscoe. Francis Roscoe, with a business background in the U.K., moved to Victoria in 1862 and joined with Arthur Fellows to form Fellows & Roscoe Hardware, serving miners heading for the Cariboo Gold Rush and the growing town. Roscoe became politically active, and was elected Liberal MP for Victoria, 1874-8. (He did not run a second time, and his seat was taken by Prime Minister Sir John A. Macdonald.) Roscoe, said to be suffering from depression, apparently shot himself in December 1878.</p><br>
<p>Mrs. Roscoe returned to England with her five children, and the house was subsequently rented to George Winter, coachman to the colonial governor and to several lieutenant-governors. Winter purchased the property in 1889, and rented to Harvey and Margaret Combe. Combe, registrar to the BC Supreme Court, is credited with founding the Victoria Golf Club in 1893, Canada’s oldest golf club. A photograph of the Combe family in front of the Villa is the earliest known picture of the house. The Winter family lived in the house, 1892-1911. Subsequent occupants included stonemason John Mortimer, founder of Mortimer’s Monumental Works. Many monuments in the Ross Bay Cemetery, opposite, bear his mark.</p><br>
<h2>Restoration</h2><br>
<p>On January 2, 2000, volunteers began clean-up and restoration of the Villa, clearing the house and grounds of debris and securing the building envelope. With the aid of donations and several grants, a new roof and new electrical, plumbing, alarm and fire suppression systems were installed. Volunteers replaced all the decaying foundation posts, and mounted the house’s first-ever under-floor insulation and heating.</p><br>
<p>On the interior, samples of every wallpaper were analyzed, with more than 100 patterns being identified, including originals in the dining-room and drawing-room, which have been reproduced on vintage wallpaper printing machines. Other papers will be made as funding and time allows. Original paint colours have been matched on all woodwork. Faux-wood panelling paper was hand-made to match the original in the entry hall. Floor coverings have been meticulously replicated by hand. When Mrs. Roscoe left the house, she sold the contents by auction, and the 1879 auction list has provided guidance in acquiring appropriate furnishings. The dining-room, drawing room, kitchen and entry hall are now virtually complete, with furnishings, books, chinaware, pictures and oil-lamps from the 1860s & ’70s.</p><br>
<h2>The garden</h2><br>
<p>Most details of the original garden have been lost over 150 years. However, there was evidence of a circular flower-bed in front of the porch. Several ancient fruit trees have survived, though none is as old as the house.</p><br>
<p>The restoration plan calls for all trees, bushes, perennials and annuals to be appropriate to the 1860s and ’70s, including a vegetable garden, based on contemporary nursery catalogues. Early roses and honeysuckle are being trained to grow up the house, following Sir James Douglas’ description. A flowering ginger plant, Roscoea purpurea, is particularly prized, as it is named after Roscoe’s grandfather, William Roscoe.</p><br>

<h2>The Ross Bay Villa Society</h2><br>
<p>The Society was incorporated 17 January 2013. It is a registered charity with the purpose of protecting, researching and promoting the Ross Bay Villa. When The Land Conservancy encountered financial difficulties, the Ross Bay Villa Society began fund-raising to purchase the property, which was completed in October 2015. The year 2015 was also celebrated as the Villa’s 150th Birthday, with special events and tours throughout the year.</p><br>
<p>The Swift & Co. meatpacking plant in Sioux City, in the state of Iowa in the Midwestern United States, was built in 1918–19 as a speculative venture under the name Midland Packing Plant. After going into receivership, it was acquired by Swift & Co. in 1924, and continued to operate until 1974. It was then purchased by a Sioux City businessman and converted to an enclosed mall, the KD Stockyards Station. Fire and water damage in 2004 forced its closing, and the building was demolished in 2010.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>From 1917 to 1925, the convergence of several economic factors gave rise to a speculative bubble in meat-packing plants in the United States. Meat prices had risen significantly following the nation&#39;s entry into World War I, and it was believed that this increase had been produced by collusion among the major packers, who thus benefited from artificially high profits from the sale of meat products. In 1919, moreover, the market for Liberty Bonds declined, driving investors to seek better returns; meat production appeared to offer this. The combination of these factors led to a number of speculative and downright fraudulent ventures, in which independent packing operations were established, shares were sold to unwary investors, and much of the money was transferred to company officers and politicians, after which the operation went bankrupt.</p><br>
<p>Four such operations were established in Iowa, and developed to various degrees. The Associated Packing Company plant in Des Moines never progressed beyond the acquisition of a second-hand hog-scraping machine. The Farmers&#39; Mutual Packing Company operation in Muscatine went so far as to acquire a used building and paint its name on the door. The Corn Belt Packing Company plant in Dubuque, in the quondam Dubuque Brewing and Malting Co. buildings, operated for three years before closing.</p><br>
<p>The Midland Packing Company in Sioux City was incorporated in 1918. A building in the Sioux City stockyards, designed by Chicago architectural firm Gardner and Lindberg, was constructed in 1918–19, at an estimated cost of $3 million. Packing operations begin in January 1920, and ceased in May 1920 when the plant went into receivership.</p><br>
<p>In 1921, Wilson & Co., a major Chicago meatpacker, took an option on the plant, but did not exercise it. In 1924, the facility was sold at auction for $623,000 to Swift & Co., then the largest meatpacker in the world. Swift re-opened the plant in March 1924.</p><br>
<p>In 1938–39, a strike closed the plant for 119 days. A second strike in 1948 left the plant idle for 67 days. In 1949, an underground gas leak led to an explosion that killed 21 people, injured 91, and produced property damage of $1 million. The plant was remodeled and rebuilt between 1950 and 1952. In 1953, the Floyd River flooded, extensively damaging the plant, along with the nearby Cudahy and Armour facilities, the railroad yards, and the stock pens.</p><br>
<p>Swift closed the facility in 1974, citing a design that did not meet current standards for packing plants. They moved their operations to a location south of the city, leaving much of the plant&#39;s equipment in place.</p><br>
<h3>KD Stockyards Station</h3><br>
<p>In 1975, Sioux City businessman Kermit Lohry bought the building from Swift. He proceeded to convert it into an enclosed shopping mall, using much of the old equipment to decorate the area. The complex opened in 1976 under the name KD Stockyards Station. By the late 1970s, it housed over 60 businesses.</p><br>
<p>In 1979, the building was listed in the National Register of Historic Places, as the only major meat-packing plant remaining in Sioux City from the early 20th century.</p><br>
<p>KD Station weathered a certain amount of adversity, including the opening of the Southern Hills Mall in 1980 and the general decline of the stockyards area. However, in 2004, a fire that began in an outdoor electrical transformer caused extensive damage to the building; at about the same time, a major leak developed in the roof. The owners declared themselves unable to maintain the building, and the city declared it unsafe and unfit for occupancy, forcing the nearly 20 businesses to relocate. In 2006, teenaged arsonists used gasoline to start a fire on the fourth floor, further damaging the building.</p><br>
<p>In 2007, the city took ownership of the building. In 2010, it was demolished at a cost of over $3 million. The city put the vacated 5.5 acre parcel up for sale, marketing it for commercial use or light manufacturing. As of 2014, the site remained vacant.</p><br>
<h2>Packing plant</h2><br>
<p>The plant&#39;s footprint measured about 330 by. The building was about 90 ft high. The main portion consisted of six stories above a basement; five-story sections lay to the south and the northeast. The exterior walls consisted of concrete, insulated with cork and faced with brick; to provide insulation and keep meat cool, portions of these walls were up to 30 in thick.</p><br>
<p>Processing moved downward in the plant. Cattle and hogs were killed on the fifth floor and stored in coolers on the fifth and sixth floors. Hog carcasses were brought down to the fourth floor for cutting, then subjected to more specialized processes on lower floors. Cattle carcasses were processed on the first floor. Both pork and beef were shipped out via a loading dock at the east end of the building.</p><br>
<p>The Chevron Island is an urban island that lies in the Nerang River and is a neighbourhood within the suburb of Surfers Paradise in the City of Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Chevron Island is one of a number of man-made islands created from land reclamation in the Nerang River. It was constructed in the 1950s. Prior to this land reclamation, the Nerang River was wide and shallow with many sandbanks with shifting riverbanks. Through dredging, deeper channels were created for shipping in the river with the spoil being used to create inhabitable islands and permanent river edge embankments, all of which facilitated residential and commercial development.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Chevron Island is a medium density residential area. It is connected by two bridges to Southport and Bundall to the west and to the coastal strip of Surfers Paradise to the east with Thomas Drive continuing from Slatyer Road in Southport/Bundall through to Elkhorn Avenue in coastal strip of Surfers Paradise.</p><br>
<p>The island has an elevation of 2 m above sea level at the mean high tide mark.</p><br>
<p>Cronin Island (27&deg;59&prime;34&Prime;S latitude, 153&deg;25&prime;06&Prime;E longitude) is another small reclaimed island accessible from Chrevon Island and also lies within the Nerang River.</p><br>
<p>The Washington County Courthouse is a historic courthouse in Greenville, Washington County, Mississippi. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since September 10, 2014.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first courthouse in Greenville was built when the new town became the county seat in 1847. The town was moved northward due to recurring flooding and damage caused during the Civial War. A new courthouse was built near the corner of Poplar and Nelson Streets. That building was replaced by the current two and a half-story building, constructed in 1891 and opened in 1892. It was modified in 1930, 1950, 1965 and 1976, tripling its original size. It is one of the few remaining examples of a stone Richardsonian Romanesque courthouse in Mississippi.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse is noted as the location of a 1922 speech by former United States Senator LeRoy Percy against the expansion of the Ku Klux Klan into Washington County.</p><br>
<p>Trysfjorden is a fjord located in the municipality of Søgne in Vest-Agder county, Norway. The mouth of the 6.5 km long fjord sits just west of the village of Trysnes and just northeast of the village of Ålo. The European route E39 highway runs along the inner part of the fjord, just west of the village of Lohne.</p><br>
<p>The deepest parts of the fjord reach about 85 m deep. In the mud at the bottom, scientists have discovered crustaceans that they believe are indigenous to the bay. Trysfjord has several islands and islets. The islets of Storholmen, Notholmen, and Urholmen lie just outside of Røsstad. Near the villages of Trysnes and Lastad lies the island of Lastadholmen which in recent years has had the largest colony of terns in Southern Norway. The mouth of the fjord lies just south of Lastadholmen where the fjord empties into the Skaggerak.</p><br>
<p>The Nossa Senhora da Graça Fort, officially Conde de Lippe Fort and known historically as La Lippe, is a fort in the village of Alcáçova, about 1 km north of the town of Elvas in the Portalegre District of Portugal.</p><br>
<p>It stands in a dominant position on the Monte da Graça (Hill of Grace) and forms part of the Garrison Border Town of Elvas and its Fortifications, which on 30June 2012 was classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.</p><br>
<p>In 2014, the fort became part of a new project under the aegis of the Portuguese Ministry of National Defense, with the support of Turismo de Portugal (Portuguese Tourism), which features historical itineraries based on Portuguese heroes.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The strategic importance of the fort was demonstrated during the Portuguese Restoration War, when in 1658 Spanish troops occupied the site during the siege of the town of Elvas prior to the Battle of the Lines of Elvas on 14January 1659.</p><br>
<p>A century later, during the Seven Years&#39; War (1756-1763) King Joseph I of Portugal and the Marquis of Pombal called on Marshal Lippe to reorganize the Portuguese army and draw up plans for the modernization of the stronghold.</p><br>
<p>The work began in 1763 and continued into the reign of Maria I of Portugal (r. 1777–1816), with the fort reopening in 1792 under the name of Conde de Lippe Fort after its designer.</p><br>
<p>The fort resisted Spanish troops during the 1801 War of the Oranges and a later attack in 1811 during the Peninsular War by the troops of Marshall Jean-de-Dieu Soult.</p><br>
<p>In September 1808, when the Spanish General Galluzzo heard of the signing of the Convention of Cintra, under which the defeated French were allowed to evacuate their troops from Portugal, he refused to acknowledge it. Instead he proceeded to carry out "a trifling bombardment of La Lippe from an immense distance, and the utmost damage sustained or likely to be sustained by that fortress, was the knocking away the cornices and chimneys of the governors house, every other part being protected by bomb proofs of the finest masonry." The French commander of the La Lippes&#39;s garrison, Captain Girod de Novillars, held out against the Spanish until late November when the 1,200 French troops inside marched out following the arrival of the British.</p><br>
<p>Subsequently used as a military prison, by 2014 the site was in a near ruinous condition and awaited transfer to the Municipality of Elvas for restoration. The necessary work on the infrastructure was completed in September 2015 with the aim of turning the fort into a functional museum.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The fort is a 150 m quadrangle with pentagonal bastions at the corners. Four ravelins cover the curtain wall, half of which form part of the monumental gate (Dragon Gate).</p><br>
<p>The central part of the square features a circular redoubt with two floors and a parapet with gun ports. The forts circular tower has two vaulted floors: the first consisting of a decorated chapel and the second the Governors House. Below the chapel, carved into the rock, there is a cistern.</p><br>
<p>Externally, the structure is completed by a hornwork and a dry wide moat.</p><br>
<p>A 19th century visitor described the fort thus: "There is a reservoir constantly supplied with water sufficient for the garrison of 2000 men for two years, and stores of corn and provisions for that time are also laid up. There is a mill within the walls for grinding corn, and an oven for baking sufficient bread, so that as there are no means for taking the fort but by treachery, surprise, or famine, the siege of La Lippe must be a work of patience, not to mention the loss; for as the besieged will be perfectly safe within their walls, so will the besiegers be completely exposed to the fire of the garrison: though surrounded on three sides by hills, they are all too low and too well commanded by the fort to admit of any annoyance from them. There is a curious circumstance in natural history connected with fort La Lippe: a well, which is of amazing depth, yields water which mixes readily with oil, and produces a thick fluid resembling milk, but the flavour of which is disagreeable."</p><br>
<p>Although many 18th and 19th century military commentators considered the fort impregnable, French General Dumouriez noted that because many of its batteries were set into the rock, they were vulnerable to cannonade fire while he considered the hornwork carried "the defences to great a distance".</p><br>
<p>The Way Way General Store is a historical and architecturally eclectic general store at 93 Buxton Road in Saco, Maine. Built 1927-29, it has been operated since then by members of the Cousens family. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995 for its architecture and its role in the rural economy of northern Saco.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Way Way General Store is located on the east side of Buxton Road (Maine State Route 112) in rural northern Saco, about 2 mi northwest of the city center. It is an architecturally and visually eclectic two story structure, built out of hand-formed concrete blocks on the first floor, and shingled wood framing on the second. The first floor blocks are painted red and white in an alternating pattern, with the grout lines painted green. A porte cochere extends across the front of the store, supported by columns of fieldstone and topped by a balustrade. It shelters two c. 1940s "National" brand gasoline pumps, no longer in service. To the left side is a poured-concrete two-bay garage, whose walls have been scored and painted to mimic the main building&#39;s color scheme. The interior of the building retains all of its original layout, fixtures, and woodwork.</p><br>
<p>The store was built over a three year period, between 1927 and 1929, by Eugene Cousens and his son Carrol. The older Cousens had been selling gasoline from this property since 1916, and opened a small store in a wood frame building in 1924. With the construction of this building, Cousens began carrying a wider array of general merchandise, and became a mainstay of the relatively rural area. The garage bays were added in the 1930s, where Carrol Cousens serviced automobiles until the 1950s. As of the stores listing on the National Register in 1995, the property remains in the hands of Cousens daughters.</p><br>
<p>Radzyń Podlaski Castle - a complex of a palace and castle built between 1685 and 1709, and expanded between 1750 and 1759.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first building in Radzyń Podlaski ties with the new owner Stanisław Antoni Szczuka (died in 1710). In 1685, works on the complex began by John III Sobieski, which commissioned the works to the architect Augustyn Wincenty Locci. The complex was built from 1685 to 1709, in the location of a fifteenth century Baroque castle of the Kaznowski&#39;s Suchekomnaty Coat of Arms; the complex was built to function as a residence and defensive stronghold. Jakub Fontana became the main architect of the complex, who also carried out the expansion of the complex between 1750 and 1759, for Eustachy Potocki of the Piława Coat of Arms.</p><br>
<p>The Old Swan is a former historic public house at the centre of Rhayader, Powys, Wales. The buildings are timber framed and while there is a datestone of 1683, it is very probable that it is late 16th century, if not earlier. The buildings still have their original roof of stone flags and distinctive leaniing stone chimney stacks. The buildings were listed Grade II in 1995.</p><br>
<h2>History and architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Old Swan, stands on the corner of West and South Streets Rhayader. The original building was mentioned in 1676 as being one of the two inns in Rhayader at that date. Some changes were made in 1683, including the rebuilding of the three chimney stacks, and this date is carved into the old timbers inside the building. During the 1860s the Old Swan stopped trading as an inn, and it was used in later years as a hardware shop, a saddlers, a butchers shop, and other businesses. Part of it was used as a Tourist Information Office for a time, and the section of the building on the corner is used as a teashop.</p><br>
<p>The earliest depiction of the Old Swan is an engraving of 1815 by the artist Paul Sandby Munn. The engraving shows a porch that has been jettied forward at first floor level with a sign showing a swan. The building on the left, which appears to be a stable and clearly shows the Flagstone covered roof. The engraving shows the three stone chimney stacks on the west side of the porch roof, but as to-day they are on the east side, this must be a mistake by the artist. The open porch has now been replaced by a shop window. On the east side there is gable and to-day there is a wooden bracket showing the head of a woman with a ‘‘horned’’, late Medieval headress set into the gable.</p><br>

<p>The Mahlberg is a mountain in the northwest of the Northern Black Forest and, at, is the highest point in the Baden-Württemberg county of Karlsruhe and the parish of Völkersbach. Its eastern side belongs to the municipality of Malsch in Karlsruhe and the western side to the borougy of Gaggenau in the county of Rastatt.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<h3>Location</h3><br>
<p>The Mahlberg lies within the Central/North Black Forest Nature Park. It rises between the Gaggenau villages of Freiolsheim in the northwest, Moosbronn in the east and Michelbach in the southwest. Its western side belongs to the Gaggenau parish of Rotenfels; on the eastern side lies an exclave of the Malsch parish of Völkersbach.</p><br>
<h3>Rivers and streams</h3><br>
<p>The Moosalb flows past the Mahlberg to the east and the Michelbach runs past it to the south, the little tributaries of which - Obersbach, Walkenbach, Litzelbach and Eckbach - rise south and southwest of the mountain. In the west the waters of the Hildebrand spring flow into the Waldprechtsbach.</p><br>
<h2>Reserves</h2><br>
<p>On the eastern slopes of the Mahlberg lie parts of the nature reserve of Alb Valley and Side Valleys (Albtal und Seitentäler, CDDA No. 162059; established in 1994; 6.36 km² in area) and the Special Area of Conservation of the same name (No. 7116-341; 27.2533 km²). The eastern side also includes parts of the protected landscape (LSG) of the Alb Valley Plateaux and Herrenalb Mountains (Albtalplatten und Herrenalber Berge, CDDA No. 319471; 1994; 47.1223 km²), and up to the western flank extends another LSG, the Eichelberg and Mahlberg (Um den Eichelberg und Mahlberg, CDDA No. 319471; 1994; 47.1223 km²).</p><br>
<h2>Summit region</h2><br>
<p>On the summit of the Mahlberg stands the Mahlberg Tower. Next to it is a refuge hut with a public barbecue area. Not far from the tower there is a memorial site with the grave of two Wehrmacht soldiers who died on 10 April 1945 when the radio station on the mountain was shelled during the Second World War.</p><br>
<h2>Mahlberg Tower</h2><br>
<p>The tower on the top of the Mahlberg was built as a reinforced concrete observation tower. On the tower is a plaque with an inscription that is translated as follows:</p><br>
<p>The tower, which is open to the public, is a popular destination with hikers. In the area of its entrance there is a request for small donations to assist in preserving the tower. The viewing platform is reached via 160 steps and has views of the Murg and Moosalb valleys, large parts of the Upper Rhine Plain, the Vosges and the Palatine Forest, and the Kraichgau and Odenwald.</p><br>
<p>The Dr. Job Holmes House is house at 527 Main Street in Calais, Maine. It was built in 1850 by Dr. Job Holmes, a prominent local physician, and is a fine local example of Italianate architecture. It is now owned by the St. Croix Historic Society, along with Holmes&#39; first house, the Holmes Cottage next door, which is operated as Dr. Job Holmes Cottage & Museum.</p><br>
<p>Dr. Job Holmes House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Dr. Job Holmes House 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 Holmes Cottage, also a property of the St. Croix Historical Society. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, three bays wide, with a side gable roof, asymmetrically-placed interior brick chimneys, clapboard siding, and a granite foundation. Its entrance is centrally located on the northeast-facing front, with an ornate bracketed hood sheltering the entrance, and a broader hood sheltering the flanking sidelight windows as well. Windows on the facade are topped by bracketed hoods, that on the second floor center window with a curved cornice. The main roof cornice is modillioned. The interior of the house is well-preserved, retaining original woodwork and plaster.</p><br>
<p>Dr. Job Holmes arrived in Calais sometime after 1830, and established a medical practice, joining his brother-in-law, Cyrus Hamlin, brother to future United States Vice President Hannibal Hamlin. The Holmeses first lived in the cottage next door, and had this house built about 1850. It was built by Asher Bassford, a local builder with a reputation for quality. The house remained in the hands of Homes descendants into the 20th century, and was used as elderly housing before coming to the St. Croix Historical Society.</p><br>
<p>The Andrew Welch Homestead is a historic house at 1286 Middle Street in Parsonsfield, Maine. With a complex construction history dating to the late 18th century, this house illustrates the evolutionary adaptative reuse and alteration of buildings during the early 19th century, combining two structures of different ages behind a Federal period facade. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Welch Homestead is set on the north side of Middle Street, just east of its junction with Cross Street and several miles east of the village center. It is a wide 1-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a metal roof, clapboard siding, and a stone foundation. The roof is pierced by two brick chimneys, each set on the ridge line, slightly to one side of one of the two front-facing entrances. The house is eight bays wide, with six unadorned windows asymmetrically placed, and two entrances, each with flanking sidelight windows and an entablature above. A small carriage barn is attached to the buildings northeast corner. The interior of the house provides the clearest evidence of the buildings conjoined nature, with one side exhibiting Georgian period woodwork, the other Federal.</p><br>
<p>Part of the main block was certainly standing by 1806, when Andrew and Eliza Welch were recorded as having their first child. Local tradition holds that the older portion of the house originally stood in the town center, and was built by Job Colcord, an early settler of the area, and used as a tavern. The tavern was located next to the meeting house, whose religious congregants may have objected to its presence. It is believed that the tavern was moved to land that was later purchased by Andrew Welch. Welch may have acquired the old Colcord Tavern and attached it to his house to accommodate his growing extended family, which by the 1830s included the family of his son Cyrus.</p><br>
<p>Rujum en-Nabi Shuayb  or Jethro’s Cairn is an ancient megalithic monument, consisting of a crescent shaped heap of field stones, located some 15 kilometers from the Sea of Galilee on a fairly inaccessible hillside below Parod in Northern Israel. It has been measured as 14,000 cubic meters  in volume and about 150 meters  long, making it visible from satellite photos. Bronze Age pottery excavated at the site dates the construction to between 3050 BCE and 2650 BCE, which would place it before Egypts pyramids.</p><br>
<p>Although the site’s existence was known, many archaeologists had believed the amalgamation of stones was an ancient city wall and there had been little investigation by archeologists. In 2014, Ido Wachtel, a Hebrew University PhD candidate, discovered that the structure stood alone and did not act as any sort of fortification. It is conjectured that its shape might mimic the moon; it is some 29 kilometers from Beit Yerah, an ancient pre-Talmudic town that translates as "House of the Moon." This town was known to have commercial trading operations with the ancient Egyptians and is a considered to be a one-day journey from the monument by the era’s traveling standards. Similar structures have also been found in the area; one of them, Rujm el-Hiri, is located east of the Sea of Galilee in the Golan Heights. Another rock structure, first detected in 2003, was found underneath the Sea of Galilee and is larger than England’s Stonehenge.</p><br>
<p>Nabi Shu’ayb was the object of traditional veneration by Druze and Sunni Muslims throughout Palestine. According to local tradition Nabi Shu’ayb wanted to build his house here after coming from the land of Midian. Having gathered a lot of stones he went to the spring at the foot of the hill and found the carcass of a pig there, so he decided to leave in the direction of Hittin, near Tiberias, where his grave is visited to this day, especially on the holiday or Ziyarat al-Nabi Shu&#39;ayb. There are stories how, during the Ottoman period, Druze who were unable to go to the grave at Hittin for various reasons, were satisfied with standing on the rubble at Rujum en-Nabi Shu’ayb, and looking in the direction of his grave at Hittin.</p><br>
<p>The Mark F. and Eliza J. Wentworth House is a historic house at 9 Wentworth Street in Kittery, Maine. Probably built in the second quarter of the 19th century and given Italianate styling c. 1866, it is notable for its association with Mark Fernald Wentworth, a distinguished physician and decorated veteran of the American Civil War. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Wentworth House is located on the west side of Wentworth Street (Maine State Route 103) in the village of Kittery Foreside, shortly after the road makes a sharp turn to the north. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, five bays wide, with a side gable roof, single off-center chimney, clapboard siding, and a brick foundation. The building corners are pilasters, and the eave has a wide frieze board with paired decorative brackets. The main facade, facing east, is symmetrical, with the center entrance flanked by sidelight windows and narrow pilasters. A single-story bay window projects from the left facade, with panels beneath the windows. A two-story ell extends to the main blocks rear. The interior has retained a significant amount of its decorative work, despite having been used at times as a multi-unit apartment house, and as a doctors office.</p><br>
<p>The house was probably built sometime between 1825 and 1840, and basically follows a Greek Revival center hall plan, with Italianate styling applied to it in the 1860s. The house was home from the mid-1860s to their deaths of Mark F. and Eliza Wentworth. Mark Wentworth was a Kittery native who was trained as a physician, but also maintained an interest in military affairs, serving in the local militia company. When the American Civil War broke out, he first served as storekeeper at the Portsmouth Navy Yard. In 1862 he raised the 27th Maine Infantry, which served in the defense of Washington, DC. After its service ended, he raised the 32nd Maine Infantry, which served in military campaigns in Virginia. Wentworth was injured at the Siege of Petersburg in 1864, and resigned his commission in November of that year. He received a brevet promotion to brigadier general for his meritorious service at the end of the war. In addition to his medical practice, he also served several terms in the state legislature. He died at his Kittery home in 1897, having previously buried his wife and daughter.</p><br>
<p>The Lake Catherine State Park CCC Cabins are a collection of four rustic cabins constructed by crews of the Civilian Conservation Corps in what is now Lake Catherine State Park in Hot Spring County, Arkansas. Three of the four cabins were built for use as tourist accommodations and continue to serve in that role, while the fourth, probably built to house administrative functions, is now used in the state park as a "nature cabin", with exhibits on the history and natural environment of the park. Three of the cabins were separately listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992; the fourth was listed in 1995.</p><br>
<h2>Cabin #1</h2><br>
<p>Cabin #1 was the first of the tourist cabins to be built by the CCC, and it has a unique floor plan not found in the other cabins. It is a single-story frame structure, with rough weatherboard exterior and an original stone and concrete foundation. A screened porch extends across the cabin&#39;s southern facade, looking out over the lake, and a dressed stone chimney rises on the east side. The interior includes a living room, kitchen, hall, bedroom, and bath.</p><br>
<h2>Cabins #2 and #3</h2><br>
<p>Cabins #2 and #3 are both single-story frame structure, with rough weatherboard exterior and a stone chimney. They were built about 1935.</p><br>
<p>Lake Catherine State Park-Cabin No. 2.JPGLake Catherine State Park-Cabin No. 2</p><br>
<h2>Nature Cabin</h2><br>
<p>The Nature Cabin was built about 1935, and is also a single-story Rustic structure. Its original purpose is not known, but it probably housed administrative functions. It is now used to house exhibits on the park&#39;s cultural history and environment.</p><br>
<p>The Keeragh Islands  are a pair of small islets located approximately 1.5 km  off the coast of Bannow in south County Wexford, Ireland . They are a designated Natural Heritage Area due to their importance as a breeding ground for seabirds such as cormorants.</p><br>
<p>The islets are surrounded by a treacherous rocky reef - the ruin on the larger island was built around 1800 for survivors of shipwrecks, but is now very dilapidated.</p><br>
<h2>Fethard lifeboat disaster</h2><br>
<p>On 20 February 1914 the Mexico, a Norwegian barque, ran aground in stormy seas on the reef near the Keeraghs. The Fethard lifeboat was launched, but both vessels were smashed to pieces by mighty waves. Nine of the fourteen lifeboat crew were swept to their deaths; the remaining five joined the eight surviving Norwegian sailors on the exposed reef, where they remained miserably clinging to rocks while the storm continued unabated.</p><br>
<p>Several attempts to rescue them were foiled before two brave men, Bill Duggan and Jim Wickham of the Rosslare Fort lifeboat, took a dinghy and ferried the survivors two at a time from their ice cold rocks. The operation needed 6 trips in stormy seas to bring all to safety, but on the second of these, the dinghy was holed. For the remaining trips the sea was kept out by a loaf of bread wrapped in oilskins, plugged into the opening.</p><br>
<p>Sztum Castle  - a castle located by Lake Zajezierskie, on the Galla Anonima Street.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The castle was built in the Gothic architectural style in the years of 1326 to 1335, in the shape of a polygon with two towers, in the location of a former Old Prussian gord. The castle functioned as the headquarters of a Prussian Vogt. The castle became part of the Kingdom of Poland in 1410. After the Thirteen Years&#39; War (1454–66), the castle became the headquarters for the Starosta. The castle was destroyed during the The Deluge wars with Swedes, the castle was partially deconstructed by the Prussians. Currently, two wings of the castle exist which were reconstructed in the nineteenth century, the prison tower, gates and fortification walls. The castle was the formerly housed the Sztum Centre of Culture (Sztumskie Centrum Kultury).</p><br>
<p>Potamogeton Pond, a small pond in Queens, New York City , is located on a narrow strip of parkland in Hollis Hills alongside Grand Central Parkway and named after an aquatic plant. It was once a stop on a bridle trail that connected Cunningham Park to Alley Pond Park; but when local stables closed, the trail became disused. The pond can be found at 86th Avenue and 217th Street. The completion of Grand Central Parkway reduced the amount of water that fed the pond, resulting in less water intake and converting the once popular ice-skating site to a bog. The perch, carp and catfish that lived in the pond died off in 1963 as the parkway was widened in conjunction with the world’s fair taking place in Flushing Meadows the following year. Silt covered up the pond, and plants grew atop its former surface.</p><br>
<p>Public awareness of the pond can be credited to the public-school science teacher Thomas F. Schweitzer and the Queens College ecology professor Andrew C. Greller, who led tours of the pond site and founded organizations that advocated for its restoration. Schweitzer’s Hollis Hills Civic Association teamed up with Greller’s Queens College Ecology Club to lobby the city, which by 1970 determined that "the area known as Pea Pond... no longer receives sufficient water to maintain a pond". Undeterred, advocates for the pond enlisted the support of the Boy Scouts, the Queens Village Centennial Association, and local high school nature clubs. Under the banner of the East Queens Ad Hoc Committee for a Natural Attitude Toward Urban Recreational Environment (NATURE), supporters succeeded in blocking the state and city’s plans to cover the pond’s site.</p><br>
<p>The pond is presently overgrown with Phragmites and cattails. It fills up completely only after heavy rains. Entrances to the Potamogeton Pond Trail can be found on Grand Central Parkway at 217th Street and at 82nd Avenue.</p><br>
<p>Los Poblanos Historic Inn & Organic Farm is a farm with a ranch house and inn that was established in the 1920s just north of Albuquerque, New Mexico, by Congressman Albert G. Simms. After he married Congresswoman Ruth Hannah McCornick Simms in 1932, the couple began construction of the Los Poblanos ranch. The building was designed by John Gaw Meem in the Pueblo Revival Style of architecture. Located on 800-acres, the property was the family’s private home, dairy, farm, nursery and cultural center. Numerous WPA artists and craftsmen also contributed to Los Poblanos to renovate the ranch house and create the Cultural Center. Rose Greely designed the gardens to the south and west of the ranch. Los Poblanos was significant in the establishment of the dairy industry in New Mexico with their purebred herds of Guernsey and Holstein cattle which became Creamland Dairies.</p><br>
<p>In 1944, Ruth died, followed by Albert in 1964. In 1999, Armin and Penny Rembe purchased the property. The Rembes turned the family home into a bed and breakfast, restaurant, farm and hosts a variety of cultural activities.</p><br>
<p>Los Poblanos is listed on the New Mexico Register of Historic Places and The National Register of Historic Places. In 2013, it received the Trustees Emeritus Award for Excellence in the Stewardship of Historic Sites by The National Trust for Historic Preservation.</p><br>
<p>Braniewo Castle - a castle built in the thirteenth century in Braniewo. The castles remains are located in south-eastern side of the Old Town by St. Catherines Basilica.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The castle was built during the lifetime of Bishop Henryk Fleming (1279-1300). After the year of 1340, the residence of the Warmian Bishops was moved to Orneta, the castle became the residence of the Burgrave. In 1454, the castle was seized by the Kingdom of Poland, and up to 1461 the castle was the residence of the Warmian Bishops. During the years of 1633 to 1635, the castle was seized by the Swedes, which built bastions around the castle and bulwarks. In 1811, the castle housed a school. In the years of 1873 to 1874, certain portions of the castle&#39;s fortifications were deconstructed. During the Battles for the Liberation of Poland in 1945 the castle was burned down. The ruins were deconstructed in 1958. The remains of the castle is a tower with a chapel on the second floor.</p><br>
<p>The Hexagon Barn of Newport, Maine is believed to be the only building of its type in the state of Maine. Located at Spring and Railroad Streets, it is attached to a c. 1850 Greek Revival Cape, and is believed to date to that time. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The hexagonal barn is located in the village of Newport, on a property at the northeast corner of Spring and Railroad Streets. Set near the street corner is a 1-1/2 story Cape style house with modest Greek Revival styling. Extending eastward, parallelling Railroad Street is a single-story ell, which joins the house to the barn. The barn is a two-story wood frame structure, with a hexagonal roof topped by a louvered six-sided cupola, and clapboard siding. Each of its six sides is of roughly equal length, and there are two windows, one set in the southwest wall on the second floor, and one set in the northeast wall on the northeast wall. There are four doors, two each on the eastern and northern sides, one on each level. The northern ground floor entrance was originally a typical two-leaf hinged door, but has been replaced by an overhead garage door.</p><br>
<p>The barn&#39;s construction date and builder are unknown. It is assumed to have been built around the same time as the house, which is dated stylistically to about 1850. Surveys of state cultural inventory conducted prior to its listing on the National Register in 1980 have failed to identify any other six-sided barns in the state.</p><br>
<p>The West Lebanon Historic District encompasses a rural village center in Lebanon, Maine. Built over a period of less than 100 years between the 1770s and 1870s, the small village at the junction of West Lebanon, Shapleigh, North Rochester, Orrills Hill, and Jim Grant Roads is a well-preserved example of a 19th-century rural Maine village. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Lebanon was established in 1733, and was only modestly developed prior to the 1770s. The village of West Lebanon has is origins in that time, centered on a fork in the main north-south road running west of the town center. It was at that fork (now Shapleigh and Orrills Hill Roads) that Daniel Legro opened a tavern, and his brother Thomas built a farmstead, giving the village its early name of "Legro&#39;s Corner". From this modest beginning the village grew, acquiring a Free Will Baptist church in 1801 (the current one, still standing, dates to 1832). In 1842 the local residents funded the establishment of a private academy, whose main building, built in 1849, became the town high school in the 20th century, and now serves a variety of community functions.</p><br>
<p>The district encompasses about 55 acre surrounding the junction of the five roads at the center of the village. Most of the buildings in the district were built before 1850, and only one was built in the 20th century. The houses are typically Federal or Greek Revival in style, 1-1/2 or 2-1/2 stories in height, of wood frame construction with clapboard siding. Some houses were enlarged and modestly restyled in the 1860s and 1870s. The district also includes the site of an early tannery.</p><br>
<p>Huntingburg Commercial Historic District is a national historic district located at Huntingburg, Dubois County, Indiana.

<p>Bytów Castle is a gothic Teutonic castle and a former stronghold for Pomeranian dukes.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Teutonic Castle</h3><br>
<p>The Teutonic Knights began building the castle in 1390 on a hill in southeast Bytów. Mikołaj Fellenstein directed the castles construction works in 1398–1406. The castle was raised on the plan of a rectangle out of stone and brick with dimensions 49 metres by 70 metres. In the corners of the castle, three cylindrical and one square tower was built. The northwestern castle wing was a three-floor building that served as living quarters. The most important rooms were in this building, including the refectory, the chapel and the prosecutors office. Warehouse space was located on the third floor.</p><br>
<p>The castle&#39;s southwest wing housed a kitchen and food storage, and nearby stood a water well. The gate was raised from the northeastern side of the castle. Approaching the gate, there was a moat and drawbridge that served as the entranceway. The four towers in each corner of the castle served as defensive structures, housing weaponry.</p><br>
<p>The Kingdom of Poland under the command of Władysław Jagiełło seized by the castle in 1410.</p><br>
<h3>Pomeranian Dukes Castle</h3><br>
<p>The Kingdom of Poland took control of the castle during the Thirteen Years War. In 1466, King Kazimierz Jagiellończyk ceded the castle to the fiefdom, Duchy of Pomerania, then ruled by Eric II, duke of Pomerania. In 1500, the stronghold was surrounded with fortifications and bastions. In the second half of the 16th century, the castle was the residence of the House of Pomerania, which in the years 1560-1570 had their living quarters in the southeastern wing. The Thirty Years War wrought little damage to the stronghold. Along with the death last member of the House of Pomerania in 1638, the castle was made the residence of the starosta.</p><br>
<p>The Swedish army razed the castle during the Deluge. In the 19th century the castle was partly rebuilt after Frederick William I of Prussia, elector of Brandenburg, took over. The castle housed a court and a prison. First conservation works were conducted in between the years of 1930 and 1939. The castle was later rebuilt at intervals between the years of 1957 to 1962 years and between the years of 1969 to 1990, when the castle housed the Western Pomeranian Museum (Museum Zachodnio Pomorskie), a hotel with a restaurant and a library.</p><br>
<p>Nowy Wiśnicz Castle - a castle located on a forested hill by the River Leksandrówka in the village of Stary Wiśnicz, Lesser Poland Voivodeship; in Poland. The castle was raised by Jan Kmita in the second half of the fourteenth century. The castle was built in the Baroque architectural style with Renaissance elements. The castle was built on the plan of the quadrilateral with the inner courtyard. The castle has four towers, with one in each corner. The castle is surrounded by bastion fortifications and the main gate from the early 17th century.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The castle has an irregular shape. In the 1590s and 1610s, it had a four-wing structure, three towers and fortifications surrounding the castle with two gates. After the year 1516, Piotr Kmita expanded the castle. After his death in 1553, the castle came into ownership of the Barzów in 1566, which ceded ownership rights of the castle to the Stadnickis. In 1593 Sebastian Lubomirski bought the castle. In between the years of 1615 to 1621, Sebastian Lubomirski&#39;s son Stanisław Lubomirski undertook the expansion of the castle. The architect Maciej Trapola drew up the project of the Baroque reconstruction and bastion fortifications. During the Deluge the Swedes looted the castle and destroyed the castle. After Sweden was defeated by the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the castle was seeded to the Lubomirskich, which carried out restoration works which have not been completed.</p><br>
<p>After the first half of the eighteenth century, the castle became the property of the Sanguszko princely family, later the Potocki family, and the House of Zamoyski. After the Third Partition of Poland, the castle started falling into decline, and in 1831 the castle was destroyed by a fire and left abandoned. In the year of 1901, the castle was bought by Professor Maurycy Straszewski of the Lubomirski Ancestral Federation (Zjednoczenie Rodowe Lubomirskich) which had commenced the renovation the castle. From 1928, Adolf Szyszko-Bohusz supervised renovation, however further renovation was stopped due to the outbreak of World War II. After World War II, the castle was seized by the state, and from the year of 1949, renovation was conducted by Alfred Majewski, which was to restore the castle to its former structure. The history of the castle is enlivened by many legends (the legend of the Queen Bona, the legend of the "flyers", the legend of the stone "mushroom"). Many well-known artists (Marcin Bielski, Klemens Janicki, Juliusz Kossak, Jan Matejko, Stanisław Orzechowski, Stanisław Wyspiański) visited the castle in centuries past.</p><br>
<p>Nowe Castle  - a castle located on the bank of the River Vistula by the Castle Square.</p><br>
<p>The castle was constructed in the second half of the fourteenth century, by the Teutonic Order for the Pomeranian Castellans. The castle is located by the north-eastern part of Nowe. After 1465, the castle housed the residence of the Starosta of the House of Nowskiscy, the castle was largely destroyed by the Swedes during the Deluge. After the First Partition of Poland in 1787, Prussian authorities partially deconstructed the castle, but kept the main wing which was converted into an Evangelical Protestant Church. In the next century the castle was used as a warehouse and fire station. In the 1970s, the castle was renovated, the works finished in the year of 1992. Currently, the castle houses the Castle Centre of Culture (Centrum Kultury "Zamek").</p><br>
<p>Hell&#39;s Half Acre was a rough and rowdy precinct of Fort Worth, Texas originating during the early to mid 1870s in the Old Wild West. The half acre block was originally designated from tenth street to fifteenth street while intersecting with Houston street, Main street, and Rusk street with Throckmorton and Calhoun streets established as boundaries. The Chisholm Trail and Texas and Pacific Railway were branded as the economic driving force leading to the progressive development of the rambunctious red-light district.</p><br>
<p>Hell&#39;s Half Acre consisted of boarding houses, brothels, gambling parlours, hotels, saloons, and a sparse assortment of mercantile businesses. The twenty-two thousand square foot ward caught the glimpse of such Old West personalities as Bat Masterson, Butch Cassidy, Doc Holliday, Etta Place, Luke Short, Sam Bass, Sundance Kid, and Wyatt Earp.</p><br>
<p>By 1919, Fort Worth&#39;s "Third Ward" was disavowed as a den of iniquity due to the law enforcement efforts of Jim Courtright and the Protestant orations of John Franklyn Norris.</p><br>
<p>The Georges River Canal, also known as the General Knox Canal was a short-lived canal that operated on and near the course of the Saint George River in Knox and Waldo Counties in south-central Maine. First owned and operated by American Revolutionary War General Henry Knox between 1794 and 1806, it was briefly revived in 1847-50, but was not financially successful. It provided for transport of goods from near the river&#39;s headwaters in Searsmont to the head of navigation at Warren. A few elements of the canal survive today, and its route was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.</p><br>
<h2>1793 canal</h2><br>
<p>In 1793 Charles Barrett, a local businessman, was granted a charter to establish a canal on the Saint George River to facilitate the transport of lumber. He constructed wooden locks at Warrens Upper Falls and a few miles further upriver at Harts Falls, enabling river transport as far upstream as Seven Tree Pond in Union. Henry Knox purchased Barretts operation in 1794, and operated it until his death in 1806. Knox raised the dam at Upper Falls, eliminating the need for the locks at Harts Falls, also relocating milling operations in the process. The lock was damaged by a spring freshet one year had to be rebuilt. The canal was abandoned after Knox&#39;s death, although interest in improved transport along the river continued.</p><br>
<h2>1847 canal</h2><br>
<p>The success of the Erie Canal in New York and of the Cumberland and Oxford Canal in southern Maine stimulated further interest in the 1820s and 1830s, but it was not until 1846 that the state approved a new plan. Originally authorized to operate as far upstream as Saint George Lake in Liberty, the canal opened in 1847 with service to Quantabacook Lake in Searsmont. Maintenance costs on the canal were high, due to its wooden locks, and the turbulent nature of the river, which necessitated frequent repairs and interrupted transit. The canal ended operations in 1850. In 1865 the dam and lock at Upper Falls were rebuilt in stone, to provide water power for the local mills. It was again rebuilt in 1902, this time to provide hydroelectric power, but was washed out by flooding in 1936.</p><br>
<h2>Today</h2><br>
<p>Only traces of the canal infrastructure survive today, in the form of towpaths and foundational elements of the locks and dams. In Searsmont, the Georges River Land Trust maintains a 3 mi hiking trail that traverses part of the old towpath, passing several lock remains. In Warren, part of the canal path is visible at Payson Park.</p><br>
<p>Harris Farm is a historic farm property at 2950 Thomas Jefferson Highway , in rural eastern Albemarle County, Virginia. The farm, more than 200 acre in size, fronts on both the Rivanna River  and Buck Island Creek , with the access drive to the main complex on the east side of the road. The centerpiece of the farm complex is a farmhouse whose oldest portion is a Greek Revival I-house built about 1850 by Robert Gentry. In 1898 the house was sold to Hilton Ashby Harris, who increased the house&#39;s size by building a second I-house directly attached to the front of the first. A cross-gabled rear projecting ell was added at some time in the early 20th century. The house represents a creative adaptation of traditional housing forms, as well as exemplifying changing construction techniques associated with those forms.</p><br>
<p>The farm property was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<p>The Leverett and Amanda Clapp House is a historic house located in Centreville, Michigan. The building was built in 1879–80 for Leverett and Amanda Hampson Clapp. The brick building has two stories and was built in the Italianate style.</p><br>
<p>In 2009, the house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and listed as a Michigan State Historic Site.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Leverett A. Clapp was born in Mottville, Michigan in 1837 to Asahel and Charlotte (May) Clapp. He was a direct descendant of Captain Roger Clapp, who captained a Puritan ship which arrived in New England in 1630. In 1856, Asahel Clapp was eleced as the St. Joseph County register of deeds, and Leverett Clapp worked for him until 1864 when he was elected in his own right. He served as Nottawa Township Clerk from 1868-70, and in 1872 he was elected as the Michigan State Land Commissioner. Clapp also served as secretary of the Farmers&#39; Mutual Fire Insurance Company and was president of the First National Bank of Centreville.</p><br>
<p>Leverett Clapp married Amanda E. Hampson on December 6, 1864. The couple had a single child, Edwin Lacey Clapp, born September 24, 1865. In 1879, Amanda Clapp&#39;s mother deeded her a lot on this site, and the Clapps obtained a second lot next door. In 1880, the Clapps built this house at the site and moved into it. In 1894, Edwin Clapp married and moved his wife into the house. In 1900, the Clapps sold the home to Seth W. Keasey, and built another home a few blocks away where they lived until both died. Leverett Clapp died in 1929.</p><br>
<p>Seth W. Keasey lived in this house until his death. After his wife dies, the house passed to their son, Floyd W. Keasey and his wife, Genevieve. When they died, the house passed to their daughter, Frances. IN 1959, Frances sold it to John and Virginia Browne. Over the next few decades, the house was sold to Marion Kastner, then her daughter, Joan Berger, then Joseph and Gloria Hittler and then David and Rene Daniels. In 2004, the Daniels sold it to Richard and Elizabeth Campbell.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Clapp House is an asymmetrical two-story brick Italianate structure with a low-pitch hip roof having wide eaves with paired brackets underneath. The front facade has a two-story slant-sided bay window at one end with deep front entry porch at the other, which runs from the corner of the house to the central entrance. There is a single story hip roof rear ell.</p><br>
<p>On the interior, the central entry leads to a foyer, which opens onto an east ans west parlor, and a stairway upward. Beneath the stair, another door leads to the dining room and breakfast room. The first floor also contains a kitchen and a small bathroom. The formal rooms on the first floor all have twelve foot ceilings, and have broad and elaborately molded dark stained wood trim. The second floor contains a sitting area at the top of the stair, two bedrooms, a bathroom, and servant&#39;s quarters.</p><br>
<p>Frame Lake is located in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada. It is an 84 hectare endorheic freshwater body located between the city&#39;s downtown section and a larger residential area. The Frame Lake Trail circles it, and city hall and the territorial legislative assembly building are on its shores.</p><br>
<p>Formed by meltwater after the end of the Wisconsin glaciation 20,000 years ago, Frame has been an important part of Yellowknifes history. The Dene in the area used it as a fishing spot before European settlement. In the early years of the citys growth, gold mines nearby dumped tailings in it and sometimes sewage. Later, when the city&#39;s New Town, now its downtown section, was surveyed and developed nearby, Frame offered accessible swimming and boating opportunities.</p><br>
<p>However, storm sewers diverted much of the runoff that fed it. Later development blocked the lake&#39;s only outflow, leaving it endorheic and complicating the problems caused by earlier pollution. By the early 1970s it no longer supported any fish; within two decades residents had stopped swimming or boating it out of fear of leeches. Subsequent studies have shown that the lake completely eutrophied sometime in the mid-1990s. They have not, however, been able to determine whether that was due to climate change, pollution or some combination of both; the possibility exists that the lake has always been at a higher trophic state than others in the area.</p><br>
<p>Some city residents have agitated for efforts to reclaim the lake so it will once again be a destination for swimmers, anglers and boaters in warm weather. To do so, it will be necessary to reoxygenate the water to the point that fish can again inhabit its waters. This could be accomplished either by aeration or dredging, which would remove the accumulated rotted organic matter on the lake bed that currently renders it anoxic when the lake is frozen over in the winter.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Frame Lake is irregularly shaped, with a northern section and a southern section along a north-northeast to south-southwest axis approximately 1.4 km long, connected by a narrower central passage midway along its length where a wide peninsula extends from the western shore and an arm extends roughly 500 m to the east, curving northward. At their widest shorelines, both sections are roughly the same distance apart. Five small islands are located within the lake, three in the northern section and two in the southern section. Its total surface area is 84 hectare.</p><br>
<p>The lake lies at an elevation of 186 m. Surrounding terrain is gently undulating, with some of the small hills nearby cresting as high as 207 m and one of the islands rising to 197 m. Two unnamed streams drain into the lake south of the peninsula on the western side. The northerly of the two rises from drainage ditches surrounding the runways at Yellowknife Airport 1.6 km to the west, draining Robinson&#39;s Pond on the way to Frame Lake; the southerly has largely been channelized, draining Range Lake 600 m to the west, itself fed by a stream of similarly short length flowing into it from the west.</p><br>
<p>Surrounding terrain, as well as that of the islands, is primarily taiga forest, amid mostly bare outcrops of Canadian Shield bedrock typical of the Yellowknife area. Bare rock predominates on the shoreline, except for some shallow bays with weed beds.</p><br>
<p>The developed areas of Yellowknife form a "V" around the lake. On the eastern side, and the southern shore of the arm, is New Town, the citys modern downtown. Public buildings such as City Hall, the Royal Canadian Mounted Polices local headquarters, and the Canadian Forces Northern Area Headquarters Yellowknife are situated along the south side of the arm, their associated lawns coming almost to the edge of the lake.</p><br>
<p>South of City Hall along the lake shore is Somba Ke Park, open space with the only totally developed portion of shoreline. Beyond it, the taiga and bedrock buffer the lake from the city, except for the dead end of residential Matonabee Road. The Frame Lake Trail, a partially paved pathway 5.5 km in length, closely follows the shoreline past an extensive area of forest. Just south of McNiven Beach is a recreational facility with an arena and pool, again close to the waters edge.</p><br>
<p>At the south end, another residential neighborhood comes near the lake, after which a rocky area buffers Stanton Regional Hospital. After it curves away to the west, the northwestern side and northern end of the lake are all taiga and bedrock between Frame and nearby Robinson&#39;s Pond and Jackfish Lake, with just the trail alongside.</p><br>
<p>Amid a park-like setting on the northeastern corner of the lake, and the northern shore of the western arm, stand two other large public buildings: the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre and Northwest Territories Legislative Assembly Building. The two are connected via paths and driveways through the intervening taiga and bedrock. A causeway carries the Frame Lake Trail across the tip of the arm, where the Northern Frontier Visitor Centre overlooks the lake.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Formed by the retreat of the glaciers at the end of the last Ice Age, Frame Lake remained a relatively pure lake even as the area was settled and modern development impinged on it. The closure of its only outlet around 1970, however, led swiftly to its decline and eutrophication. By the end of the 20th century it could no longer support fish and was not being used for primary recreational purposes. Attempts to revive it started in the 2010s.</p><br>
<h3>Prehistory–1934: Before European settlement</h3><br>
<p>Like many of the lakes in the Northwest Territories (NWT), Frame is glacial in origin. During the Wisconsin Glaciation, the last Ice Age, glaciers covered almost all of today&#39;s Western Canada. As they retreated about 20,000 years ago, they left large lakes of meltwater behind. One, known today as Lake McConnell, covered almost all of the western NWT as well as adjacent regions of what is now Alberta and Saskatchewan. By 8,000 years ago, it had drained and evaporated to the point that only small remnants were left, such as Athabasca, Great Bear and Great Slave Lakes. Along with those larger lakes were smaller lakes like Frame, where fine sand that accumulated in depressions formed the lake bed.</p><br>
<p>Human use of the lake began with the Dene, the First Nations in the region, whose ancestors settled there around 7,500 years ago. The Yellowknife band, who would later give their name to the city, found the lake abundant with pike, suckers and whitefish. While they did not settle on its shores, they established a fishing camp there.</p><br>
<h3>1934–92: Growth years and lake decline</h3><br>
<p>The descendants of European settlers began coming to the area of the lake in the early 20th century, first using it as a staging area for bush pilots flying to mining camps and settlements further north. In the mid-1930s, abundant gold deposits in the area triggered the establishment of Yellowknife as a permanent settlement. While at the time development was concentrated on the peninsula extending into Great Slave Lakes Yellowknife Bay, an area known today as Old Town, later analysis of lake sediments lends some support to accounts from that time of Frame Lake being used for the disposal of tailings and sewage from outlying mines. The lake took its name from Bill Frame, an early miner who owned part of the citys bus and taxi franchise.</p><br>
<p>Yellowknifes growth was briefly interrupted by World War II, but when it resumed afterwards, the higher ground closer to the lake was chosen for expansion. The area just east of the lake became New Town, today the citys downtown. McNiven Beach, named after the city&#39;s first mayor, was developed with facilities for swimming; sometimes floatplanes landed nearby as well.</p><br>
<p>At the same time, runoff from storms carried increasingly nutrient-rich waters into the lake. In colder months when the lake surface was not frozen over, the city dumped plowed snow into the lake, adding even more nutrients. Sewage dumped into nearby Niven Lake, heavily used for that purpose for almost 35 years of Yellowknife&#39;s postwar growth, may also have flowed into Frame, offering more nutrients.</p><br>
<p>By the early 1970s the lakes decline had been noted. A later study by the earth science department at Carleton University concluded that the 1970 construction of the causeway across the end of the lakes eastern arm was the "tipping point" for Frame Lake. It cut off the stream between it and Niven Lake to the north, the only outlet the lake had had during human habitation of the area. With the lack of water throughput, nutrient levels in the water column rose, nurturing aquatic plants during the summertime. In the winter, however, when the lake froze over and snow cover blocked much of the limited sunlight available, those same plants died off for lack of ability to photosynthesize. The decomposed plant matter began accumulating on the lake floor, steadily deoxygenating its waters.</p><br>
<p>In a 1973 limnological study of seven lakes in the Yellowknife area, including Frame, for a possible experimental fishery, scientists from the Fisheries Research Board noted that Frame was the only one in which they were unable to catch any fish for study. Over the preceding winter, they also observed that the lake had "become rapidly anoxic".</p><br>
<p>As the lake declined, development came closer. Yellowknife built its current city hall by the lake edge in 1975, and the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre, the territorial museum, followed nearby four years later. Sometime later that decade, the number of swimmers at McNiven Beach declined sufficiently for the city to remove the facilities there, as the beach itself began to grow over with grass.</p><br>
<p>Residents were still swimming and boating in the lake in the early 1980s, but in smaller numbers. Some were scared off by reports of leeches that had in one instance supposedly covered an entire child. A local journalist recalled in 2015 how he had had to watch his step to avoid deep, malodorous deposits while catching tadpoles in the shallow waters near his home at that time. Later the Frame Lake South area was developed for residential and commercial use as the city grew. Storm sewers installed for these projects diverted the runoff that had once fed the lake, increasing the concentration of nutrients in the water.</p><br>
<h3>1993 – present: Reclamation attempts</h3><br>
<p>The Northwest Territories Legislative Assembly moved into its new building, designed to preserve as much of the original shoreline and vegetation as possible, on the north shore of the lake in 1993. By then, all recreational use of the lake itself had ended. Many residents were too leery of leeches, which thrived in the lake in the absence of fish preying on them, to enter the water. Instead, the lake became the focus of the 5.5 km Frame Lake Trail, a partially paved path around the entire shoreline, which soon became popular for walking and jogging.</p><br>
<p>In 2007, a conservation report prepared for the city named Frame Lake its top priority and suggested enacting special nature-preservation zoning to protect it. During the following decade, residents began to rediscover Frame Lake. "As a city, we&#39;ve largely disengaged from this little jewel in our midst", wrote Matthew Mallon in YK_Edge, a local weekly newspaper. Newer residents, he said, were incredulous at his recollections of swimming and sailing on the lake in his childhood. In 2013 another local resident organized a Canada Day cleanup and swim in the lake, saying concerns about arsenic and leeches in the water were exaggerated.</p><br>
<p>The Carleton study carried out under a grant from Tides Canada and the Royal Bank of Canada in 2015 established that the lake had declined more precipitously since 1970, and described how. It will continue to measure the degradation of the lake on an annual basis to form a basis for policy recommendations to revitalize the lake. Currently researchers believe that either dredging rotten sediments off the lake bottom or aeration would best restore the water quality of the lake&#39;s early years.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>The lake is mostly underlain by a mix of volcanic and plutonic igneous rock. Most of it is the same Archean basalt greenstone belt that predominates in the Yellowknife area. Running through the central portion from north northeast, under the heritage centre and Legislative Assembly building, to south southwest is a narrow belt of dacite flanked by two gabbro sills (one of which forms the largest island), with some more dacite under the visitors centre and the southern of the two points of the western peninsula. Small diabase dykes run through various portions of the bedrock, with the largest forming the elevated area at the lakes southeast corner. Quartz intrusions are visible in some areas.</p><br>
<p>Two local faults run across the south end of the lake. The stream from Robinson&#39;s Pond runs along the Pud Fault, which continues across the lakebed to McNiven Beach. At the south end is the larger Kam Fault, which when it was active had the same potential for earthquakes as the San Andreas Fault in the USA state of California. It divides the basalt from an area of lighter granite and granodiorite between the lake and the hospital.</p><br>
<p>There are also visible signs of the lakes glacial origins. Just south of Somba Ke Park on the east shore, the rock has striations and scour marks in the northeast-to-southwest direction of the glaciers&#39; advance. The fine sand on the lake bed is also glacial residue. In some areas around the lake edge, the ground is underlain by permafrost at an average depth of 15 m.</p><br>
<p>Where soil exists around the lake, it is mostly silt and clay as opposed to the sand of neighboring New Town. It does not support buildings well, nor does it give way to bedrock at a uniform depth. The military building and visitor&#39;s centre both encountered construction difficulties due to this.</p><br>
<h2>Hydrology</h2><br>
<p>There have been two significant periods of study on Frame Lake. One, in the early 1970s, looked at its water. The others, in the mid-2010s, examined the sediments to determine how the lake had reached the point it had by then.</p><br>
<h3>1970s study</h3><br>
<p>In 1971, just after what a later study would identify as the point when the lakes eutrophication began in earnest, M.C. Healey and W.L. Woodall, two researchers from the Fisheries Research Board of Canada, considered Frame in a limnological study of seven lakes in and around Yellowknife that their agency was considering as sites for an experimental fishery. Among the others studied were the larger Kam Lake to the south, and five others outside city limits. Their analysis, published in 1973, showed that while Frames water quality was still good enough to support the recreational use that was still occurring, there were already some signs of decline.</p><br>
<p>Chemical analysis of the water showed similarities to Kam Lake. Like the larger lake, it had a notably alkaline pH of 8.5, reflecting higher concentrations of salts, and a specific conductance of 332, well below Kam but around three times the values obtained for the other four lakes. Its calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium levels were higher than any other lake except Kam, and it had the highest bicarbonate levels at 132.4 mg/L. The lake was found to be generally isothermal, although its depths cooled significantly in August, when the later of two samples was taken. Plenty of oxygen was still in the water. The researchers attributed Frames high biochemical oxygen demand and "peculiar chemical characteristics" to not only the proximity of downtown but the citys use of the lake as a dump for plowed snow.</p><br>
<p>"Frame Lake had the most peculiar species assemblage for the region", the two wrote of the results of their zooplankton findings. Daphnia middendoffiana, the only Cladocera species found in Frame, was present in only that lake of the seven. Likewise, several copepods—Heterecope sententrionalis and Diaptomus pribilofensis and leptopus—were unique to Frame. Cyclops vernalis was the only species the lake shared with any of the others. "The species in Frame Lake are typical of a lake west of the continental divide, in Alaska or northern British Columbia, but extremely uncommon east of the divide", they observed.</p><br>
<p>Benthos species in Frame were more similar to the other lakes. Frame shared with the other lakes a high mollusk population, predominantly in the Sphaeriidae and Valvatidae families. Lymnaeidae were unique to it, however. Insect populations around the lake are dominated by non-biting midges, especially the Chironominae and Tanypodinae subfamilies. Healey and Woodall also found significant populations of mayflies, damselflies, and water boatmen in the lake.</p><br>
<p>They did not find any fish, the only one of the seven lakes where this was the case. Frame nevertheless recorded the highest biomass count of the seven lakes, 7.32 grams of dry weight per square meter of bed, more than three times the second highest reading, on the second of two sampling periods in summer 1971. At the same time, that biomass had the lowest ash content of any of the sampled lakes as well.</p><br>
<h3>2010s studies</h3><br>
<p>Healey and Woodall were not able to analyze any sediments underneath more than one meter (3.3 ft) of water because the particles were too fine for the Ekman dredge sifter that they used.</p><br>
<p>Shenstone-Harris started from the observation that subarctic lakes generally had shown great sensitivity to climate change because of shifts in the amount of ice cover. Those stresses could be exacerbated for subarctic lakes in an urban area facing higher levels of pollution from a number of different sources, such as Frame. Her inquiry was a paleolimnological one, focusing on the algae species present in the lake at various times in the recent past. She took core samples of the sediment down to 17 cm and dated them by the lead-210 levels. Once their age was established, she looked at the diatom remains, since the species of algae in the water can reflect environmental changes, and counted the ratio of chrysophyte stomatocysts to establish nutrient levels in the water at that time.</p><br>
<p>Due to diatom dissolution at the lowest level of the sediments taken, Shenstone-Harris was unable to establish data for any years earlier than 1943, making it impossible to set the desired baseline for a pre-settlement Frame Lake. However, she was able to establish that the lake had always been at a high trophic state, even before it became fully eutrophied by the mid- to late-1990s. That was preceded by a rapid replacement of epiphytic species with benthic ones around 1990.</p><br>
<p>It was not clear to Shenstone-Harris that that event had been the result of climate change. From 1956 to 1992, the last year records were kept, ice cover on the lake remained relatively stable throughout the winter, yet the amount of Cyclotella and Fragliaria, two genera whose species have been shown to be responsive to changing ice cover and warming climates, varied considerably. This suggested to her that while climate change may be a factor in the lakes decline, it is not the only one. Instead, the change in species around 1990 pointed to a change in littoral zone microhabitat, a loss of macrophytes and mosses, as bearing the primary responsibility for tipping the lake to its present eutrophic state. However, the lack of data on ice cover since 1992 and her inability to determine the lakes status prior to the establishment of Yellowknife qualified that conclusion. "Alternatively", she wrote, "Frame Lake may be a subarctic anomaly and was always high in nutrients".</p><br>
<p>In 2015 the Carleton team was able to examine the sediments. They found that the period between the late 1940s and 1970 added a half-meter (50 cm) of sediment to the bottom of the lake, the most of any lake in the region. Above it, the 10 cm of sediment postdating the causeway was "black, sulfurous smelling and characterized by very high levels of metals, particularly arsenic". These are consistent with the patches of sediment Mallon recalled from his youthful recreation on the lake in his 2015 article, noting that "I can still vividly feel the stuff&#39;s gloopy embrace on my feet" (although an accompanying sidebar by another reporter suggested that the sediments may be the result of sewage back-flushed from Niven Lake).</p><br>
<p>Colonel William Jones House, also known as William Jones State Historic Site, is a historic house in Gentryville and the Lincoln State Park in Jackson Township, Spencer County, Indiana. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 12, 1975. William Jones  was a farmer, merchant, soldier, and politician.</p><br>
<p>He lived, farmed and operated a store in the Little Pigeon Creek Community, living in an area that is currently in the town of Gentryville, Indiana. Abraham Lincoln, who lived nearby, worked in the store. During the Civil War, Jones served as a lieutenant colonel and died during the Battle of Atlanta on July 22, 1864 and was made colonel as of that date.</p><br>
<h2>Biography</h2><br>
<p>William Jones, the son of Peter and Sarah Keller Jones, was born on January 5, 1803 in Vincennes, Indiana. William Jones was exposed to important people and events in his childhood and received a good education. He apprenticed for a wholesale dry goods firm in Louisville, Kentucky.</p><br>
<p>He married Fanny Payne and had two young children that died in their childhood. He left Kentucky and opened a successful store in Jonesboro, Spencer County, Indiana in 1827 and lived in a nearby log cabin. In 1830, he married Rachel Oskins and they had five sons.</p><br>
<p>Jones sold and bartered merchandise and shipped farmers grain, tobacco, hides, pork, venison, and beef to New Orleans on flatboats. He also became a postmaster. Jones employed Abraham Lincoln, who lived a few miles from Jones in the Little Pigeon Creek Community, to butcher and process meat and unpack boxes in 1829. Lincoln read all of Jones books and Jones remarked that "Lincoln would make a great man one of these days."</p><br>
<p>Jones was elected in 1838 to the Indiana General Assembly, where he supported internal improvements and economic development and served until 1841. Jones was a supporter of Whig Henry Clay and was "incapacitated" for several days when Clay lost the presidential election. Lincoln, who was then an Illinois elector became a Whig, had heard Jones political views and campaigned. Lincoln made speeches for Clay in 1844 and stayed at the Jones House at that time. Jones and Lincoln both became Republicans when the Whig party was terminated.</p><br>
<p>In the 1850s, Jones moved to Gentryville, Indiana and opened another store. Jones was a Union colonel of the 53rd Regiment of Indiana Volunteers (transferred from the 62nd Indiana Infantry Regiment in 1862) during the Civil War. He received battle honors for his service at Meridian Expedition, Siege of Corinth, and Battle of Atlanta, where he died on July 22, 1864. Jones was wounded in his head and both thighs. His remains were buried at the Marietta National Cemetery in Georgia.</p><br>
<h2>Jones House</h2><br>
<p>Jones built the Colonel William Jones House across the street from his cabin around 1834 when his business endeavors made him wealthy. The one-story, five room, brick house is a Federal style house with Classical Revival features, including a Greek columned front porch and pediment added about 1887. It has a captains walk on the roof and a small loft. Lincolns father, Thomas Lincoln, is said to have built the corner cupboard in the kitchen. It sits on one of the area&#39;s highest points.</p><br>
<p>The Lincoln State Park Improvement Plan of 2005 states that "he Jones Home is an example of the increased affluence and changing economy during this period. The Jones Home represents those successful entrepreneurs who stayed in Southern Indiana instead of moving further west.</p><br>
<p>Jones moved one half mile east to Gentryville in the early 1850s and the house then went through several owners.In 1887 the house was bought by George and Arietta Bullock and remained in the Bullock family until 1976 when it was purchased by Gayle and Bill Cook who restored the house. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. The house and 100 acres were transferred in 1990 to the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (IDNR).</p><br>
<h2>Jonesboro</h2><br>
<p>About a dozen cabins were built near Jones house and store and by 1831 the area became known as Jonesboro (not to be confused with the current Jonesboro in Grant County, Indiana). In addition to Jones house and store and the other dwellings along Corydon Road, the settlement had a school, physician&#39;s office, and blacksmith. Jonesboro "was forgotten" after Jones moved his store and post office to Gentryville.</p><br>
<p>Harmony Hall is a historic religious and civic building at 24 Kennebec Road in Hampden, Maine. Built in 1829 as a Universalist church and restyled in 1896, it is a fine example of Greek Revival and Gothic Revival architecture, with a long history as a site for community events. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Harmony Hall is set on the north side of Kennebec Road in Hampden Highlands, a short way west of United States Route 1A. It is a rectangular wood frame structure, with a front-facing gable roof, mostly clapboard siding, and a granite foundation. Its front facade, facing south, is symmetrically arranged, with three bays separated by pilasters. The outer bays have entrances with relatively plain surrounds crowned by corniced entablatures. The central bay is taken up by a three-stage tower. The first stage is open, with Gothic lancet-arched openings, and is finished in flushboarding. The tall second stage has lancet-arched windows, and is finished in bands of decoratively cut wooden shingles. The third stage has an open belfry with lancet-arched openings, and is finished in clapboards. The tower is topped by a shallow-pitched pyramidal roof and weathervane. The bell, manufactured by the Revere Company in 1827, was a gift from Martin Kinsley.</p><br>
<p>The hall was built in 1829 as a church for a local Universalist congregation, and was the first building in town dedicated to the use of a single congregation. It was used by that congregation until its membership declined, and it was closed in 1885. The local Village Improvement Society purchased the building in 1895, and renovated it for use as a community and society hall. Alterations included the removal of the original (deteriorating) belfry, replacing it with the present tower. The original box pews were removed from the interior, and a kitchen was added. The building has since served as a focal point for local social groups, particularly those involved in progressive causes such as women&#39;s suffrage, and is also used for community events.</p><br>
<p>The Norfolk and Western Railroad Historic District encompasses an historic industrial district of Norfolk, Virginia. Centered on the tracks of the Norfolk and Western Railroad between Bowden&#39;s Ferry Road and Monticello Avenue, it extends as much as three blocks north and south of the tracks, including within its bounds most of the industrial resources found in that area. This area was developed roughly between 1890 and the 1930s, and includes fine examples of late 19th century commercial brick architecture, and a few fine examples of Art Deco styling. The district partially overlaps the Park Place Historic District to the north, and the Williamston-Woodland Historic District to the south.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<p>The Louis N. Hilger Homestead/Livestock Barn is a historic barn in rural northern White County, Arkansas. It is located on the south side of County Road 374 , west of Providence. It is a two-story wood frame structure, with a gambrel roof, board-and-batten siding, and a concrete foundation. It has a transverse crib layout, with a livestock shed extending along one side. It has two shed-roof dormers on the east side, providing light to the interior. It was built in 1939 to house mules used as draught animals for the Hilger dairy operation, and is distinctive within the county for its use of dormers and its extraordinary height, made possible by its braced-frame construction.</p><br>
<p>The barn was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The South Summit of Mount Everest in the Himalayas is the second-highest peak on Earth, and is a subsidiary peak to the primary peak of Mount Everest. Although its elevation above sea level of 8,749 m is higher than the second-highest mountain on Earth, K2 , it is only considered a separate peak and not a separate mountain as its prominence is only 11 meters.</p><br>
<p>The peak is a dome-shaped peak of snow and ice, and is connected to the summit of Mount Everest by the Cornice Traverse and Hillary Step. It was first climbed by Charles Evans and Tom Bourdillon on the 1953 British Mount Everest expedition, on May 26, 1953. They were unable to continue on to the primary summit, but Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, the next pair to make a summit bid, traversed the South Summit to reach the main peak. The distance separating the two summits is approximately 130 m.</p><br>
<p>A geologist with a 1965 Indian Everest expedition discovered a deposit of fossils of seashells in limestone about 100 feet above the South Summit. This expedition put nine climbers on the main summit.</p><br>
<p>Describing his first ascent of Mount Everest without supplemental oxygen in 1978, Reinhold Messner described the South Summit as "quite a milestone for me".</p><br>
<p>During the 1996 Mount Everest disaster, mountain guide Rob Hall and three other people died at the South Summit while descending from the main summit in an unexpected blizzard. Hall survived overnight, and established radio contact the following day, but froze to death later that day, May 11, 1996. His body remains on the South Summit.</p><br>
<p>In 2012 Dr. Eberhard Schaaf died on descent at the south summit from altitude sickness.</p><br>
<p>The south summit is a popular place for climbers to stop for various reasons, and to turn around if so decided. From this location the cornice traverse, Hillary step, and summit can be seen in clear weather and for a typical climber using bottled oxygen in the early 21st century, it is a favored spot to change oxygen bottles.</p><br>
<p>Bahul Lodi&#39;s tomb  is the tomb of an emperor of Delhi Sultanate and the founder of Lodi Dynasty, Bahlul Lodi  situated in Delhi, India. The tomb is located in a historic settlement, Chirag Delhi, located within the fort walls of the Jahapanah city . This tomb is one of the finest examples which demonstrate the evolution of Lodi architecture. It was built by Sikander Lodi, son and successor of Bahlul Lodi after the demise of his father in July 1489 A.D.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The tomb is constructed in rubble masonry. The roof is crowned by five domes, the central one being fluted. The tomb chamber is surmounted by a dome of red sandstone surrounded by a broad dripstone: it has been much modernized at various times. A Gold cup hangs over the grave, as in the Khizri mosque at Nizam-ud-din. In the north-west corner of the enclosure is a fine Assembly Hall. The central columns springs from four monolithic stone columns, a unique architectural feature of that period. Each of its four facades is broken by three archways supported on red sandstone columns and their spandrels are ornamented with medallions. The arches are also decorated with inscriptions incised in plaster.</p><br>
<p>It is an unusual shape for a tomb, having five domes over it; the details of the Sandstone decoration are all Hindu. To the front of it on the south side is a grave enclosure surrounded by a very beautiful pierced screen of red sandstone, which contrasts happily with the Green Shade above it. The octagonal motif that juts out between the cramped 3-storey buildings is typical of Lodi Architecture, though the five domes are unusual considering the architecture of that period.</p><br>
<h2>Premises</h2><br>
<p>The monument is located in the alleys of the modern day Chirag Dilli, behind the shrine of Hazrat Nasiruddin Mahmud, a disciple of saint Hazrat Nizamuddin Chishti, commonly referred to as Chirag-e-Dilli, where the king wished to be buried.</p><br>
<p>About a dozen graves are scattered out in the open; and Bahlul Lodis grave is located next to two other graves inside the enclosure. It is a simple octagonal structure with 3-arched openings on all sides, perceivably reflecting the kings humble demeanour, bearing inscriptions from the Quran. Hindu carving styles in red sandstone are also visible, reminiscent of the fusion processes of Indo-Islamic architecture that would reach its crescendo with the Mughals. The structure does not have much decorative materials or heavy precious stones used, only it has some Quranic verses inscribed over the arched walls.</p><br>
<h2>Conservation</h2><br>
<p>The tomb is under the protection of Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), and was repaired and restored in 2005. According to a survey report, the site was under a layer of earth which had to be excavated. With reference to the archival images, the tomb was conserved and the missing portions were reconstructed. As the original site was encroached and boundaries were altered, a new wall and entrance to the tomb were constructed and the site was</p><br>
<p>handed over to ASI for conservation and preservation.</p><br>
<h2>Habitation</h2><br>
<p>The tomb of Sultan Bahlul Lodhi is occupied by the attendants of the dargah, so that only its exterior can be seen. There are some families that live right by the tomb and may be a bit unwelcoming to strangers at first (do consider that arrogance is a poor man&#39;s only defence) and their stray dog pets might make one jumpy, but a polite request would easily sort things out. Considering so many heritage sites existing in Delhi, one is often tempted to overlook these tough-to-locate monuments, but they are worth a visit simply for the poignant reminders they throw at you of how history more often than not is the great leveller.</p><br>
<p>The Theodore Jellison House, also known locally as the Stone House, is a historic house on River Road in eastern Calais, Maine. Built in 1825, it is one of the oldest surviving residences in the town, and an impressive local example of granite construction. Theodore Jellison, its builder, was a local owner of granite quarries. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Jellison House stands on the south bank of the St. Croix River, about 2 mi east of the center of Calais, and is accessed via a tree-lined lane running north from River Road (United States Route 1). It is a 1-1/2 story masonry structure, built out of roughly-dressed granite blocks, giving walls that are 26 in thick. Its gabled roof is oriented north-south, and there is a shed-roof porch on the east side and a cross-gabled wood-frame addition extending to the west. The house is built on the sloping bank of the river, and exposes a full basement story on its north side, where an entrance faces the stone remains of a wharf. Its south side is its main facade, with the entrance set in the leftmost of three bays on the ground floor, and two windows at the attic level.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1825 by Theodore Jellison, a businessman who owned a number of area granite quarries. He apparently built the house and wharf to demonstrate the utility of product he was selling. Jellison also apparently harbored the idea that this area would eventually become the center of Calais, but this did not come to pass.</p><br>
<p>The Harley E. Green House is a historic house on Arkansas Highway 926, just north of Bear, Arkansas. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, built in a cross-gable configuration with shed-roof sections in the corners of the cross. Some of these corner sections are enclosed, adding to the mass of the interior, while others shelter porches. The exterior and interior of the house both exhibit the detailed woodwork typical of the Stick/Eastlake style. The house was built in 1888 by Harley Green, a local woodworker, during Bear&#39;s brief boom period as a gold and silver mining town. Of more than fifty houses estimated to have been built by him, it is one of only four to survive.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>Lincoln Pioneer Village is a memorial along the Ohio River in Rockport, Spencer County, Indiana to President Abraham Lincoln who lived in the county during his boyhood years. It was built in 1934 and 1935 in the city park by the Works Progress Administration. George Honig, an artist and sculptor from Spencer County, designed the memorial. He also oversaw the building of the pioneer village replica, which was sponsored by the Spencer County Historical Society and the Rockport City Council. It was listed as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places on April 20, 1998.</p><br>
<h2>Overview</h2><br>
<p>Rockport is the county seat for Spencer County and 17 miles from where Lincoln was raised. In Rockport, Lincoln borrowed books from John Pitcher, a lawyer, and set off with Allen Gentry on flatboat trips to New Orleans.</p><br>
<p>The village replica was built near the boat landing that Lincoln used for his flatboat trips. A wooden stockade surrounds the village, which contains a replica of the old Little Pigeon Baptist Church, log cabin school house, school, an inn, houses, and a law office. The cabins represent the homes of people that lived in the community (Little Pigeon Creek Community) where Lincoln was raised and is furnished in keeping with the frontier times and lifestyle, including spinning wheels, churns, handmade chairs, iron pans, tables, beds, dishes and other furnishings.</p><br>
<p>The houses include those of his sister Sarah Lincoln Grigsby and brother-in-law Aaron Grigsby, merchant and farmer James Gentry, and neighbor Josiah Crawford, who employed Abraham and Sarah Lincoln. The Aunt Lepha Mackey Cabin represents the home of the Rockport woman who took in and taught African American children, who would not have otherwise had an education. Mackeys cabin was the site of first school for African American children in southern Indiana. The village also includes a replica of John Pritchers Rockport law office and the William Jones store.</p><br>

<h2>In popular culture</h2><br>
<p>The movie The Kentuckian was filmed at Lincoln Pioneer Village</p><br>
<p>Apache Peak, at 7,714 ft, is the highest peak in the Whetstone Mountains in Cochise County, Arizona. The summit, located in the Coronado National Forest, is a popular local hiking destination. It is located near the Kartchner Caverns State Park, the city of Benson, Interstate 10, and Arizona State Route 90.</p><br>
<h2>Hiking up Apache Peak</h2><br>
<p>The summit of Apache Peak can be gained by a couple of different trails, which both involve moderately strenuous hikes with loose rocks, dense shrub, grass, cactus, succulents, and some small trees. Trails include the east side French Joe Canyon route and the west side Empire Ranch route.</p><br>
<p>Hiking requires approximately 4,160 ft in elevation gain and ~12.6 miles distance round-trip. Those attempting to hike to the summit of Apache Peak should bring at bare minimum 3 liters of water, especially in the summer months. The humidity in winter is very low (&lt;15%) so bring more water than you expect even when the temperatures are not high. In winter snow storms are common. In summer fierce lightning storms and flash floods hit the peaks so do not hike in summer when thunderstorms are present.</p><br>
<p>Lindsley Hall is a historic building in Nashville, Tennessee, USA. Built in the Antebellum South as the main building of the University of Nashville, it served as a Union hospital during the Civil War. It became the Nashville Children&#39;s Museum in 1945. In 1974 the museum moved to a new facility at 800 Fort Negley Boulevard, became the Cumberland Science Museum and is now known as the Adventure Science Center. The building is once again called Lindsley Hall and is used by the City of Nashville for Metro Government offices.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The building is located at 724 2nd Avenue South in Nashville, the county seat of Davidson County, Tennessee in the Southern United States.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building, constructed with grey limestone, was completed in 1853. During the American Civil War, it was turned into a hospital for the Union Army in 1862.</p><br>
<p>From 1867 to 1905, the building was home to the Montgomery Bell Academy, Peabody College, and the Agricultural and Industrial State Normal College (later renamed Tennessee State University, a historically black university). From 1914 to 1925, it was home to the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. Later, it was used as an armory for the Tennessee State Guard and as a public health center. The building was the location of the Nashville Children&#39;s Museum from 1945 to 1974. More recently, it was renovated as an office building to USGBC LEED Silver standard in 2011.</p><br>
