<p>The Ilium Building is a building located at the northeast corner of Fulton Street and Fourth Street in Troy, New York, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 13, 1970, and since 1986 has also been a contributing property to the Central Troy Historic District. Its street address is 400 Fulton Street.</p><br>
<p>The Ilium Building is designed in the Beaux-Arts style, and is described as handsome. The building is five stories high and was one of Troys first tall buildings, featuring one of the oldest elevators in the city. The buildings exterior features detailed stonework. The building&#39;s name, Ilium, is another term for classical Troy. The building is located next to the Fulton Street Gallery.</p><br>
<p>The building was constructed in 1904. It was designed by Troy-based Cummings architectural firm. Some sources attribute the design to Marcus F. Cummings (1836-1905), while others attribute the design to Frederick M. Cummings. Marcus Cummings designed other major buildings in Troy, including the National State Bank Building, Troy Times Building, Troy City Hall, Troy High School, Troy Courthouse, Rensselaer County Courthouse, and Mount Ida Presbyterian Church.</p><br>
<p>The Temperance Row Historic District is a historic district in Westerville, Ohio. Westerville became the headquarters of the Anti-Saloon League of America  in 1909. In the same year, the 11 acre tract of land that would become Temperance Row was purchased by Purley Baker, general superintendent of the ASLA. Over the next fifteen years, new homes in the district were built for and occupied by the founders and leaders of the ASLA. The architecture in the district is predominantly Craftsman in style. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 16, 2008.</p><br>
<p>It is the 17th property listed as a featured property of the week in a program of the National Park Service that began in July, 2008.</p><br>
<p>Mallows Bay is a small bay on the Maryland side of the Potomac River in Charles County, Maryland, United States. The bay is the location of what is regarded as the "largest shipwreck fleet in the Western Hemisphere" and is described as a "ship graveyard."</p><br>
<p>Mallows Bay is in the northeast corner of the Mallows Bay–Potomac River National Marine Sanctuary, which the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration designated on September 3, 2019. The bay lies in the northeast corner of the 18 square miles of Potomac River waters included in the sanctuary.</p><br>
<h2>Ghost fleet</h2><br>
<p>The "Ghost Fleet" of Mallows Bay is a reference to the hundreds of ships whose remains still rest in its relatively shallow waters. In total, 230 United States Shipping Board Merchant Fleet Corporation ships are sunken in the river. More than 100 of the vessels are wooden steamships, part of a fleet built to cross the Atlantic during World War I. Because they were built of wood due to a lack of available steel, most of these ships were obsolete upon completion after the end of the war.</p><br>
<p>The USA Navy did not want the ships, which were stored in the James River &ndash; at the cost of $50,000 a month &ndash; so they were sold to the Western Marine & Salvage Company. The company moved the ships to the Potomac River at Widewater, Virginia and in 1925, they were towed to Mallows Bay. Western Marine went bankrupt and the ships were burned and remained where they lay. During World War II, Bethlehem Steel built a salvage basin to recover metal from the abandoned ships. Wrecks of various civilian boats are also present at the site.</p><br>
<p>Access to the ships is through Mallows Bay Park, operated by the county, located at 1440 Wilson Landing Road in Nanjemoy, Maryland. A 0.8 mi trail loops around the park and the salvage basin. In 2010, a boat ramp and pier for recreational use was constructed to provide access to the Potomac River. It is popular to canoe or kayak among the ship ruins; the ships form a reef that hosts an array of wildlife.</p><br>
<p>The bay was listed as an archaeological and historic district on the National Register of Historic Places on April 24, 2015, and was included in the Mallows Bay–Potomac River National Marine Sanctuary on September 3, 2019.</p><br>
<p>Among the most prominent ships seen at Mallows Bay is the S.S. Accomac.</p><br>
<p>The Minnesota Soldiers Home, later known as the Minnesota Veterans Home in Minneapolis, is an old soldiers home near Minnehaha Falls in Minneapolis, Minnesota.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>After the American Civil War and the devastation that it caused, there was sentiment that the United States should provide care for its veterans. The Minnesota Legislature authorized the establishment of the Soldiers Home in 1887, as a "reward to the brave and deserving". Construction began the following year, in 1888. By 1911, the home had five mens cottages and one womens cottage, along with other buildings such as an infirmary, a dining hall, and so on. The home was originally envisioned as a place of rest and as a monument in appreciation of veterans contributions. As such, it was beautifully landscaped, and medical care was not provided until after World War I. Even then, medical care was a secondary goal.</p><br>
<p>In the 1960s, the Soldiers&#39; Home Board of Trustees recognized that the Home should provide health care as a primary goal. This shift was gradual. In 1968, the home was licensed for 56 nursing care beds and 375 boarding care beds, which were primarily non-medical care. The home was operated in a quasi-military fashion at the time. As priorities shifted, medical care became more of a focus. A new nursing care facility was built on the Minneapolis campus in 1972, with another following in 1980. In 1978, the old state hospital in Hastings was converted into a domiciliary residence for veterans. This resulted in a total of 250 nursing care beds in Minneapolis, 250 domiciliary beds in Minneapolis, and 200 domiciliary beds in Hastings.</p><br>
<p>In 1988, the Legislature reorganized the Veterans Homes, separating them from the Department of Veterans Affairs. The Veterans Homes Board of Directors was established to turn the homes into high quality health care facilities while also considering the special needs of the veteran population. The Board has memberships from both the health care field and veterans&#39; organizations.</p><br>
<h2>Present Day</h2><br>
<p>There are now five Veterans Homes in Minnesota. The Minneapolis campus has 300 skilled nursing care beds and 50 domiciliary beds, and the Hastings campus has 200 domiciliary care beds. A home in Silver Bay has 83 skilled nursing care beds, a home in Luverne has 85 skilled nursing care beds, and a home in Fergus Falls has 106 skilled nursing care beds.</p><br>
<p>The veterans community, from the days of the Grand Army of the Republic and the United Spanish War Veterans to the present, has been active in supporting the Minnesota Veterans Homes. They promote the homes and provide awareness of the services provided by the Veterans Homes. They also play a role in advocacy by promoting the causes of veterans to make sure their needs are met. The community has also monitored the homes to ensure that residents are receiving quality care. Finally, the veterans community has provided very generous donations of money and equipment to the Homes. These donations have improved the quality of life for the residents.</p><br>
<p>The Rahr–West Art Museum is an art museum in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. It is located in the Joseph Vilas Jr. House, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The house is a significant example of Queen Anne style architecture in the United States.</p><br>
<h2>House</h2><br>
<p>The house was built between 1891 and 1893 for Joseph Vilas (1832-1905) and his wife Mary (1837-1901) at a cost of between $35,000 and $50,000. Joseph Vilas was a merchant and twice the mayor of Manitowoc. The 13-room house was designed by George Ferry and Alfred Clas right before they designed the Pabst Mansion in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The house sat vacant from Vilas&#39; death in 1905 until Rahr Malting President Reinhardt Rahr purchased it in 1910. His widow donated the house to the city of Manitowoc in 1941 to use as a museum.</p><br>
<h2>Rooms</h2><br>
<p>In the house&#39;s first floor, the open carriageway entrance was enclosed in 1975. During a 1950 renovation, a modern stained glass entrance was added. It leads to a room which used to consist of two rooms - reception hall and a dining room. A fireplace partition was removed in 1950 to create the single room. The Rahr parlor was used for exhibitions for around 20 years until 1977, when it was restored to its 1910 appearance. The walls are covered in silk and bordered rug and it is furnished with original furniture. The room contains a family photograph and a bronze bust by Reinhardt Rahr. One of six remaining original fireplaces is located in the room, and it contains fluted columns, floral swags, and dentils. An oval mirror is located above it. Three adjacent rooms are used to display art.</p><br>
<p>The John P. Nash memorial library is located at the top of the stairwell on the houses second floor. Originally a bedchamber, the room was renovated in 1995 by donations from Nashs family. The room contains a bay window, mantel, and a marbel wash basin behind a paneled door. The Schwartz Ivories Room was once a dressing or servants room. It now contains the Simon Schwartz Collection of Chinese Ivories, which was donated to the museum in 1973. The collection contains items from over 300 years of history including over 40 rare pieces. The Porcelain Room houses a collection of hand-painted porcelain sculptures created by Boehm Studios. Mrs. Guido Rahrs collection of dolls are displayed in the Doll Room. They were acquired in her travels around the world. The items are ceremonial, folklore, and popular figures from their country. Furnished dollhouses in the room were donated by Amy Brady. The dollhouses contain 1930s furnishings from Marshall Fields. The Doll Room also contains the furnishings from a Victorian dining room. The Kamogawa Room contains a collection of gifts from Manitowoc&#39;s Japanese sister city Kamogawa.</p><br>
<p>A wing was added to the house in 1975 to hold exhibits. The wing was paid for with donations from John and Ruth West and the Rahr Foundation. Another wing was added in 1986 to display and store a permanent collection of American art donated by the Wests.</p><br>
<p>The museums permanent collection holds pieces by Georgia OKeeffe, Andy Warhol, Picasso, Isidore Bonheur, Eyvind Earle, Milton Avery and Myron Barlow. The Courtyard Garden, located just inside the museum entrance, was established in 1975 by Mrs. John West and the Manitowoc Garden Club. It contains a bronze sculpture Waiting by Bruno Lucchesi in Wisconsin shrubs and trees. The Ruth West Gallery, the largest exhibition space, is used for around 10 exhibitions per year. It sometimes host lectures and recitals. The John West Gallery has exhibitions that changes every four to six weeks. It is sometimes used to display art of the museum&#39;s collection.</p><br>
<p>Ruth West in the winter of 1974 began a community art activity for a week, the "Art of Tablesettings", featuring displays of wall art over uniquely themed tables, chairs, dishware and flatware. Drawing from a pool of registrations, eventually over thirty displays are arranged in the two 1975 gallery&#39;s west of the mansion, during the six weeks.</p><br>
<h2>Sputnikfest</h2><br>
<p>On September 5, 1962, a 20 lb piece of the 7 ton Sputnik 4 crashed on North Eighth Street east of the museum. The impact location is marked with a ring. A cast was made from the original piece before the Soviets claimed it, and the cast was displayed at the museum. The city holds an annual Sputnikfest celebration.</p><br>

<p>The Wayne Morse Family Farm, a City of Eugene park, was the home of Oregon&#39;s long-time United States Senator, Wayne Morse. The 27 acre home is located in Eugene, Oregon and was originally a working farm called Edgewood Farm. Owned by the Morse family, it includes the Morse home, a natural wooded area, and an open meadow. Formerly named Morse Ranch, the park is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Wayne Morse</h2><br>
<p>Wayne Lyman Morse was a law professor and independent-minded politician from Oregon. He was born in Wisconsin, but moved to Eugene in 1930, where he taught law at the University of Oregon. In 1944, Morse was elected to the United States Senate as a Republican. In 1952, he left the Republican Party, becoming an Independent. Three years later, Morse joined the Democratic Party. Morse continued to serve in the Senate until 1968. He died in Portland, Oregon, in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>Morse house</h2><br>
<p>The Morse house, a colonial revival style home designed by Wallace Hayden, was built in 1936. The house is a standard wood-frame structure with shingle siding on a concrete foundation. The interior is furnished with period furniture from the 1930s and 1940s that help preserve the historic integrity of the home. Morse memorabilia is also on display in the house. This includes a small collection of copies of political cartoons featuring Wayne Morse, which were donated to him by the artists. The original collection is maintained by the Oregon Historical Society in Portland. Because of its importance to the political history of Oregon, the Morse house and surrounding park were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>The historic house is open to the public by appointment and can be rented for small events. The Wayne Morse Historical Park Corporation works with the City of Eugene to preserve the Morse house and park. Members of the group give tours, organize events, and maintain the Morse collection exhibits.</p><br>
<h2>Morse Family Farm</h2><br>
<p>In addition to the house, the 27 acre park includes a natural wooded area and meadow. Originally, it was a working farm the Morse family called Edgewood Farm. Today, it is a City of Eugene park with open space, restrooms, picnic tables, and a large picnic shelter, which is available for rent from May through October. When the shelter is not reserved, it is open to the public.</p><br>
<p>The park grounds are open daily from dawn until 9:30 pm, with nature walks being a popular attraction. Dogs are permitted in the fenced off-leash dog exercise area. In the summer, the City of Eugene operates a day camp in the park. The Willamette Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, which is not affiliated with the Wayne Morse Family Farm, is also located on the grounds of the park. The center rehabilitates injured birds and small animals.</p><br>
<p>Traveller&#39;s Rest, also known as the General Horatio Gates Home, is an historic plantation house located on Bowers Road near Kearneysville, Jefferson County, West Virginia. Built in 1773 and enlarged a few years later, it was the home of Continental Army General Horatio Gates from 1773 until 1790. The house is very little altered from that period, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1972. The house is located on private property, and is not normally open to the public.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Traveller&#39;s Rest is located in a rural setting west of Kearneysville, on more than 200 acre of land which Bowers Road (County Road 1/1) runs through in an east–west direction. The main house, a -story stone structure, is set well back on the north side of the road. The eastern section was built by the Hyatt family in a side hall plan, with the western added by Gates a few years later in 1773. The eastern section is a -story structure over a full basement, with a gable roof. It measures about 34 feet wide and 30 feet deep. The western section is also a -story structure with a full basement and measures about 16 feet wide and 30 feet deep. The elevation is seven bays wide.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Horatio Gates, a native of England, served in the British Army during the French and Indian War, but was prevented from advancement after the war by a lack of money or political connection. Gates and his family sailed from England to Virginia in 1772 and bought 659 acre on the Potomac River near Shepherdstown in what is now West Virginia. He built this limestone house and became a slave owner, a local justice, and a lieutenant colonel in the militia. When the American Revolutionary War broke out, Gates helped organized the Continental Army, and went on to become of its more controversial generals, gaining the important victory at Saratoga in 1777 and a humiliating loss at Camden in 1780. After the war, Gates returned to Traveller&#39;s Rest. In 1790, he sold the home, freed his slaves and moved to New York City.</p><br>
<p>Gates employed John Ariss for interior woodwork, at a time when Ariss was working on nearby projects for the Washington family. Gates added to the original four-bay structure ashlar masonry, appending a three-bay random rubble stone extension. The dormers were added after Gates&#39; tenure.</p><br>
<p>The only major documented alteration to the house after the period of Gates ownership is the addition of dormers to the gabled roof.</p><br>
<p>Sherrill United Methodist Church is a historic church at 301 Main Street in Sherrill, Arkansas. Its congregation is one of the oldest and continuously active churches in Jefferson County, Arkansas. Established in 1847, it was originally called Sherrill Methodist Episcopal Church South. In 2002, under that name, its building, a fine Gothic Revival structure built in 1910, listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Sherrill United Methodist Church, at 118 West Main Street (on Highway 15 North 15 miles from Pine Bluff) in Sherrill, is a single story, wood-frame structure built 1909–1910 in a design reflecting the Craftsman and Gothic Revival styles of architecture.</p><br>
<p>"By 1909, the congregation had outgrown the home it had occupied since 1895," the National Register nomination committee says. "Under the leadership of the late Reverend Frank Rogers, ground was broken on the same site and construction of the present structure begun."</p><br>
<p>"By 1926 the membership had once more outgrown its accommodations. The parsonage was dismantled and the salvaged materials were used to build an addition at the rear of the building. This addition contained the fellowship hall and Sunday School rooms." - (article written and contributed by Reverend Bill Ferguson, Pastor Sherrill United Methodist it appeared in quoted the Pine Bluff Commercial June 2, 2002).</p><br>
<p>The Goathaunt Bunkhouse was built as a service structure by the Glacier Park Hotel Company for the development of the Goathaunt site in Glacier National Park. This was part of the Great Northern Railway&#39;s broader development of the park as a tourist destination. The bunkhouse is the last surviving structure of this era at this location, near the southern end of Waterton Lake. Its design has been attributed to National Park Service landscape architect Thomas Chalmers Vint.</p><br>
<p>The site is at the southern end of Waterton Lake, near the modern Goat Haunt Ranger Station. It was built to house the crew of the M.V. International, a small passenger launch that plied the route between the American and Canadian ends of Waterton Lake.</p><br>
<p>The Logan Pass Visitor Center in Glacier National Park was constructed at the summit  of the Going-to-the-Sun Road during the Mission 66 park facilities improvement program. The design concept was originated by architect Cecil J. Doty of the National Park Service Western Office of Design and Construction. Burt L. Gewalt of the Kalispell, Montana architectural firm Brinkman and Lenon was responsible for the construction documents, carried out between 1960 and 1962. Construction was completed in 1966. The visitor center uses common Mission 66 themes such as a broad, gently sloping roof, native stone, and glulam timber construction.</p><br>
<p>The Logan Pass Visitor Center was one of the most significant Mission 66 projects, involving the construction of a large visitor orientation facility with attendant parking lots, utility services and amenities at the summit of Logan Pass. The altitude of the pass is 6,646 ft, and is inaccessible from October to May in most years. The summit of Logan Pass had previously been used as a rest stop with toilet facilities. The size of the visitor center was somewhat reduced because the Saint Mary Visitor Center at the east end of the Going-to-the-Sun Road and the park headquarters at the opposite end at West Glacier provided appropriate orientation features in a less demanding physical environment.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The main section of the Logan Pass Visitor Center steps up its hillside with two main levels within a single-story enclosure. The lower level is the "Fireplace Room" facing northeast, featuring a concrete hearth with a copper hood. The information desk was originally in this space, but was moved to the upper level "Exhibit Room" in 1992. The upper level houses interpretive exhibits. As built, the visitor center used bright paint colors that were toned down to a conservative Park Service brown palette shortly after construction. Semi-separated toilet facilities are below the lower level, facing the parking lot. They were enlarged in 1985. An office addition for Park Service personnel was constructed at the same time.</p><br>
<p>The visitor center as originally built was 3,600 ft&sup2; in area.</p><br>
<h2>Design and construction</h2><br>
<p>Preliminary design was carried out in the Park Services Western Office of Design and Construction, primarily by WODC architect Cecil J. Doty, with assistance from Milton Swatek and Ed Dottery. The preliminary design set forth the Park Services design intent for size, arrangement and general architectural character. The WODC design was sent to the Kalispell architecture-engineering firm of Brinkman and Lenon, where Burt L. Gewalt was assigned the task of developing detailed design documents. Gewalt made detail changes, increasing the size of the chimney and using stone-embedded concrete, a construction method originally developed by Frank Lloyd Wright.</p><br>
<p>The construction contract was awarded to the Hefte Construction Company of Spokane, Washington in June 1963 for a contract cost of about $136,600. A separate contract was awarded for water and sewer utility work, for $61,319. Work began in July 1963 and stopped in late October for the winter. It resumed in July 1964, running through October, and again in 1965. The visitor center was completed on August 27, 1966. A separate contract for parking lot and site improvements was completed on September 12, 1966 at a cost of $168,176. Gewalt was the supervising architect through construction.</p><br>
<h2>Historic designation</h2><br>
<p>The Logan Pass Visitor Center was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 15, 2008, when it was 44 years old, less than the usual threshold for inclusion of 50 years. The visitor center was cited in the nomination for its unusual design significance and prominence in Glacier National Park.</p><br>
<p>The Saint Mary Visitor Center in Glacier National Park, with the connected Saint Mary Checking Station and Entrance Station was constructed at the east entrance to the Going-to-the-Sun Road during the Mission 66 park facilities improvement program. It was designed by Burt L. Gewalt of the Kalispell, Montana architectural firm Brinkman and Lenon, and was completed in 1967. The complex uses common Mission 66 themes such as native stone, and glulam timber construction, combined with a dramatic roof structure that echoes the mountain peaks in the background. The stone in the walls came from the Going-to-the-Sun Road. The view of the "St. Mary" webcam on the Glacier National Park official website is broadcast from the center and shows the westward-facing view over St. Mary Lake, which includes a distant view of Logans Pass. There is also an osprey nest about one hundred meters to the east of the building, which can be viewed from the visitor parking lot and from the parks osprey webcam.</p><br>
<p>The complex consists of the main visitor center, with a connected entrance station. Two checking stations or kiosks are located in the roadway. Recent renovations have restored the original teal, ebony and peach color scheme, which had been obscured by the application of standard National Park Service brown paint.</p><br>
<p>The Lee Creek Snowshoe Cabin was built in Glacier National Park in 1925–27 by Austin Swikert as a shelter for winter hikers. The log structure consists of a single room with wood floor, unfinished walls and roof. A trap door in the floor provides access to a small cellar food cache. There is a woodstove with metal chimney.</p><br>
<p>The cabin was primarily used by rangers on patrol from the Belly River ranger station. The location is close to the Chief Mountain International Highway, built in 1935. It was, however, a remote place when the cabin was built between 1925 and 1927 by Austin Weikert.</p><br>
<p>The Many Glacier Barn and Bunkhouse in Glacier National Park, also known as Packer&#39;s Roost East, were constructed to serve backcountry pack trail activities near the Many Glacier Hotel. The barn was designed in 1938 by the National Park Service Branch of Plans and Design to replace a barn that had burned in the Swiftcurrent Valley fire of 1936, using a simplified form of the National Park Service Rustic style. The bunkhouse was built nearby, then moved directly adjacent to the barn.</p><br>
<p>The Kootenai Creek Snowshoe Cabin was built in Glacier National Park in 1926. The rustic log structure comprises a single room with a woodstove, and a small cellar food cache. The cabin was situated on the patrol route from the Goat Haunt ranger station to the Fifty Mountain-Flattop region, about eight miles upstream from the ranger station. Unlike most patrol cabins, it is isolated from the park&#39;s main trail routes.</p><br>
<p>The Swiftcurrent Auto Camp Historic District preserves a portion of the built-up area of Glacier National Park that documents the second phase of tourist development in the park. After the creation of a series of hotels for train-borne visitors including the nearby Many Glacier Hotel, courtesy of the Great Northern Railway&#39;s hotel concession, facilities were developed for the increasing numbers of automobile-borne tourists, drawn to Glacier by the Going-to-the-Sun Road. The Swiftcurrent Auto Camp at Swiftcurrent Lake was created for these new tourists. It includes a rustic general store, built in 1935 by the Glacier Park Hotel Company, surrounded by a number of log tourist cabins., as well as a shower and laundry house and other supporting structures.</p><br>
<p>In contrast to the prominent site of the nearby Many Glacier Hotel, the auto camp is located in stands of mature trees that block direct views of the surrounding mountains. The facilities were intended to provide an inexpensive, informal alternative to the hotels that had heretofore provided the bulk of tourist accommodations. The camp was built by the railroad&#39;s Glacier Park Hotel Company subsidiary, under pressure from the National Park Service to provide such accommodations.</p><br>
<p>The Glacier National Park Tourist Trails, including the Inside Trail, South Circle Trail and North Circle Trail, were established in Glacier National Park to connect a series of tourist camps and hotels established by the Great Northern Railway between 1910 and 1915. Prior to the construction of the Going-to-the-Sun Road, these trails were the primary form of circulation within the park. The trail system includes a number of bridges.</p><br>
<p>The three separate trail systems link Many Glacier, Two Medicine, Cut Bank, Saint Mary and Goathaunt ranger stations and visitor centers. Sites associated with the trail system include the Gunsight Pass Shelter, Packer&#39;s Roost, Pass Creek Snowshoe Cabin, Granite Park Chalet and the Ptarmigan Tunnel.</p><br>
<h2>North Circle</h2><br>
<p>The North Circle Trail describes a loop: Many Glacier - Cosley Lake - Goathaunt - Fifty Mountain - Granite Park - Many Glacier. During the 1920s, tent camps were located at Cosley Lake, Goathaunt and Fifty Mountain, as well as at Red Eagle. The trail&#39;s summit follows the Ptarmigan Wall, and was cut and blasted from the cliffside, passing through the Ptarmigan Tunnel to avoid a lengthy detour around the arête. The Park Saddle Horse Company operated multi-day excursions along the trail from 1925, stopping in turn at each camp or chalet.</p><br>
<h2>South Circle</h2><br>
<p>The South Circle Trail runs Lake McDonald Lodge - Sperry Chalet - Gunsight Pass - Sun Point - Piegan Pass - Many Glacier - Swiftcurrent Pass - Granite Park - Packer&#39;s Roost. A five-day route was operated on the trail by the Park Saddle Horse Company.</p><br>
<h2>Inside Trail</h2><br>
<p>The Inside Trail connects Two Medicine - Cut Bank - Red Eagle Lake - Saint Mary&#39;s Lake.The trail passes over Triple Divide Pass, where waters may drain to the Pacific, Atlantic or Arctic Oceans.</p><br>
<h2>Structures</h2><br>
<p>Packer&#39;s Roost West is located at the junction of several trails near the Going-to-the-Sun Road. It serves as a base camp for pack operations over the trails and for service trips to Sperry Chalet and Granite Park Chalet. The Granite Park Trail Cabin is a log structure of standard design, similar to many such structures in the park.</p><br>
<p>The Belly River Ranger Station Historic District in Glacier National Park includes several historic structures, including the original ranger station, now used as a barn. The rustic log structures were built beginning in 1912. Other buildings include a woodshed, built in 1927 to standard National Park Service plans and a cabin used as a fire cache.</p><br>
<p>The ranger station building is similar to those at Sherburne and Upper Lake McDonald, with the ranger&#39;s office and quarters downstairs and space for guests in the loft. The station is one of the oldest locations, established in 1912 and staffed by District Ranger Joe Cosley. It remains the only ranger station in Glacier which cannot be accessed by road. The present barn was the original 1912 ranger station.</p><br>
<p>The woodshed is a standard National Park Service design, built according to standard drawing G811. Woodsheds were an essential element of early ranger stations, providing shelter from the snow for work and storage. The fire cache, which is used to house fire-fighting tools, was built in 1928 and used for accommodations for a time, then converted to fire cache use. It is substantially similar to the Kintla Lake fire cache.</p><br>
<p>There is no utility power at Belly River. Propane is used for heat, cooking and refrigeration.</p><br>
<p>The Kintla Lake Ranger Station in Glacier National Park is a rustic log structure that was built by the Butte Oil Company in 1900 at Kintla Lake. It was taken over by the National Park Service and used as a ranger station. It is significant as a remnant of early oil exploration activities in the Glacier area. A boathouse was built by the National Park Service in 1935 to the same design as the boathouses at Upper Lake McDonald and Saint Mary ranger stations. A fire cache cabin, identical to those at Logging Creek, Polebridge and Lake McDonald ranger stations was built in 1934.</p><br>
<p>The Skyland Camp-Bowman Lake Ranger Station in Glacier National Park was originally built as the Culver Boys Military Academy. The main building, known variously as the Skyland Camp Messhall, Culver Boys Military Academy Messhall and Skyline Chalet, was built in 1920 and is a good example of National Park Service Rustic architecture. The main cabin, known as "Rainbow Lodge" was built by the boys of the academy in 1920 from red cedar logs, and is more elaborate and carefully detailed than typical ranger stations of this period. The interior is dominated by a stone fireplace.</p><br>
<p>The camp was originally owned by the Culver Military Academy of Culver, Indiana, which operated the camp as a concession within the park, on the shore of Bowman Lake. It operated for a few seasons, but poor management caused the National Park Service to terminate the camp&#39;s contract. With the camp falling into disrepair, the Park Service demolished all buildings except the Rainbow Lodge in 1940, rehabilitating the lodge for use as a ranger station. Two boathouses are included in the listed area, and many furnishings in the ranger station are contributing features.</p><br>
<p>The Upper Nyack Snowshoe Cabin, built in 1926 in Glacier National Park, is a significant resource both architecturally and historically as a shelter, usually 8–12 miles apart, for patrolling backcountry rangers. The design is similar to that used in Yellowstone National Park, which was in turn adapted from USA Forest Service shelters, which were themselves adaptations of trapper cabins. Upper Nyack retains some original interior furnishings, including hanging beds.</p><br>
<p>The Coal Creek Patrol Cabin in Glacier National Park, Montana, is a rustic backcountry log cabin. Built in 1925, the cabin has a single room with a board floor and a small cellar for a food cache. The cabin was used by rangers on patrol routes from the Nyack and Paola ranger stations.</p><br>
<p>The cabin is notable for its original roof construction, which consisted of peeled logs laid along the pitch of the roof, culminating in a log ridgepole. The added weight was borne by double log purlins, one on top of the other. The configuration was apparently intended to protect against deadfalls, falling trees or branches. The logs were replaced by shingles in the 1940s and by metal in the 1960s. While the Paola ranger station was abandoned in 1932, as well as the Nyack station, the Coal Creek cabin is maintained and used by trail maintenance crews.</p><br>
<p>The Dauphin County Courthouse is a government building of Dauphin County located in the county seat, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 2, 1993.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The current building is the third county courthouse built in Dauphin County. The first courthouse was built in 1792 at Market and Court Streets. The first courthouse was removed in 1860 and the second was built in its location. The second building was removed in 1948. Plans were drawn up for a new courthouse in 1938 due to complaints about the deteriorating conditions of the building. The current courthouse was designed in 1940 by the Harrisburg architectural firm Lawrie and Green. It was completed in 1942. The interior artwork was done by sculptor C. Paul Jennewein.</p><br>
<p>The Van Horn Mansion was built by Judge James Van Horn in 1823. It is the site of the Town of Newfane&#39;s first town meeting, April 6, 1824. The name for the Town of Newfane is believed to be chosen by the town Postmaster. The Mansion includes 16 rooms and five bathrooms. It is located on Lockport-Olcott Road in Niagara County, New York on Route 78 and is also considered to be haunted. It is one many National Register of Historic Places in Niagara County.</p><br>
<h2>Judge James Van Horn</h2><br>
<p>Judge James Van Horn was born in the state of New Jersey. James Van Horn moved north as the famous Erie Canal was being built. Van Horn settled in Newfane in 1817 with 9 children. Van Horn built a gristmill and was the first builder of a wool mill in Niagara County, New York in 1842. Van Horn became one of four of Niagara Countys first judges in 1821. In 1823, he built the brick Georgian-style Van Horn Mansion which was the first brick home in Newfane. James Van Horn was the Town of Newfane Supervisor from 1829 to 1831.</p><br>
<h2>The Mansion after the Van Horns</h2><br>
<p>The last surviving Van Horn descent sold the mansion to W.H. Davis of New York City in 1910. In 1922, it was owned by Herbert Pease. Douglas Patterson of Nova Scotia, Canada, purchased the mansion in 1929 after a short ownership by the Cramer Brothers. During that time until 1938, Patterson opened a community skating rink to the residents of Newfane. In 1939, the structure suffered a fire. Mary Wagner in 1949 received the mansion and helped to renovate it for an upscale restaurant known as Green Acres. In 1959, the building was converted into apartments by John Strickland and eventually was left for vandals. The Noury Chemical Company acquired the structure and then donated it to the Newfane Historical Society in 1987. The Newfane Historical Society has maintained its splendor and value to present day. It has held Victorian teas, tours, and underwent numerous volunteer renovation programs over the years.</p><br>
<h2>Haunting Occurrences</h2><br>
<p>In 1996, a student of Niagara County Community College created a haunted house in the mansion. Psychics have long called the building haunted. The Van Horn Mansion is one of several haunted locations in Niagara County and Western New York. During renovations roofers witnessed faces in windows of the vacant mansion and saw lights flicker for no reason. Carpenters saw spirits appear to them. The person who haunts the mansion is said to be Malinda with a few others. The grave of Malinda, wife of James Van Horn Jr, is located in the rose garden on the south side of the grounds. Cars have skidded to avoid hitting a girl running from the mansion who later vanishes. The girl is believed to be Malinda. People have held séances there, and have recounted other paranormal occurrences as well. The bones of Malinda have since been moved to a small area in the backyard of the mansion and no other paranormal encounters have been made.</p><br>
<p>Researcher Joe Nickell has written that there is no credible evidence the mansion is haunted. He wrote that the various incidents at the mansion have simple physical causes or are the result of misperception and suggestion. Nickell discovered that there were many contradictory and exaggerated stories about Malinda. He also attended some séances in 2003 and discovered the table-tipping phenomena was the result of the ideomotor effect.</p><br>

<p>The Pass Creek Snowshoe Cabin, built in 1938 in Glacier National Park, is a significant resource both architecturally and historically as a shelter, usually 8–12 mile apart, for patrolling backcountry rangers.</p><br>
<p>The Pass Creek shelter was originally built by trail crews on their own initiative as a more permanent and bear-proof accommodation than tents, which had been repeatedly raided. The cabin is therefore slightly larger and taller than the Park Service-standard cabins.</p><br>
<p>The Gunsight Pass Shelter in Glacier National Park is a rustic stone building near the treeline. The one-room shelter is equipped with a woodstove. Work began on the shelter in September 1931 and was complete in June 1932 to a design by the National Park Service Landscape Division. The design was inspired by similar cabins built by the Appalachian Mountain Club in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The shelter is located on the South Loop Trail, itself listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Lower Logging Lake Snowshoe Cabin and Boathouse were built in 1933 in Glacier National Park near the southwestern end of Logging Lake. The National Park Service Rustic boathouse stores rangers&#39; canoes for patrolling the lake and their journeys between Upper and Lower Logging Lake patrol cabins. The Lower Logging Lake snowshoe cabin is nearby. They are a significant resources both architecturally and historically, constructed for backcountry patrols.</p><br>
<p>The Lower Logging Lake cabin was built by Austin Weikert, Ace Powell and Asa Peckfrom a standard Park Service plan G-931, designed by landscape architect Charles E. Peterson.</p><br>
<p>The Ford Creek Patrol Cabin in Glacier National Park was built in 1928. The National Park Service Rustic log structure was a significant resource both architecturally and historically as a network of shelters, approx. one day&#39;s travel apart, for patrolling backcountry rangers.</p><br>
<p>The Ford Creek cabin was the first of four identical cabins built to National Park Service plan G913 in 1928-29 by private contractors, described as "good log men", at a total cost of $350.</p><br>
<p>It was destroyed in a suspected arson fire in late July 2020.</p><br>
<p>The Heaven&#39;s Peak Fire Lookout is a historic fire lookout post located in Glacier National Park, Montana, USA. It is significant as one of a chain of staffed fire lookout posts within the park. The one-story timber-construction with a flat roof was built in 1945. The flat, overhanging roof is anchored to the stone foundation with cables.</p><br>
<p>The lookout was to be built in 1940 by local contractor Ole Norden as part of a Public Works Administration project. However, Norden was unable to perform the work and it was completed in 1945 under a different contract.</p><br>
<p>Hepner Hall is an academic building at San Diego State University . The original entrance to the university, it is the oldest building on the campus. It was designed by the senior architectural designer of the, Howard Spencer Hazen, and completed in 1931. Hepner Hall is regarded and commonly used as a symbol of the university and its campus.</p><br>
<p>The building lies north of Malcolm A. Love Library at the entrance to the Campanile Walkway and main quad. Hepner Hall is home to SDSU&#39;s School of Social Work, along with the Department of Gerontology and the University Center on Aging. Several faculty offices and research centers also are housed in Hepner Hall, along with an assortment of classrooms and lecture halls.</p><br>
<h2>Symbol of the SDSU campus</h2><br>
<p>Hepner Hall is the symbol of the campus, with its Mission Revival Style architecture, open-faced bell tower and archway.</p><br>

<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Entrance to the building is gained through the building&#39;s impressive portales, which are framed by turquoise and white tile. Two massive turrets frame the Catalan-style archway, which is topped by a Mission-style bell tower (campanario). Inside the archway is a ribbed Moorish-style arch vaulted ceiling with a simulated Moorish wrought iron lantern hanging from its center.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>One of the original buildings on the SDSU campus, originally Hepner Hall was the Arts and Letters Building. It was renamed in 1976 in honor of Walter R. Hepner, President of the university from 1935 to 1952. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Named for Vice-Admiral Robert FitzRoy, The Admiral Fitzroy Inn is located at 398 Thames Street in Newport, Rhode Island, in the Newport Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>It was designed by architect Dudley Newton, and built in 1854. It served as the home of the Sisters of Mercy Convent for nuns of St. Marys church from 1854 to 1924, and later housed the first private Catholic school in Rhode Island, St Marys Academy from 1854 to 1924. Jacqueline Bouvier and future USA President John F. Kennedy were married in St Mary&#39;s Church.</p><br>
<p>In 1986, the building was dismantled and moved from the original site, two blocks away on Spring Street, to the current location of 398 Thames Street. It now serves as the Admiral Fitzroy Inn.</p><br>
<h2>Architectural style</h2><br>
<p>The principal architectural style is Gothic, and the secondary is Italianate (according to the Historic Building Data Sheet Rhode Island Statewide Survey Phase 1 and the National Register of Historic Places nomination form for Newport Historic District).</p><br>
<h2>Features</h2><br>
<p>The eighteen rooms have decorative hand-painted walls. The Admiral Fitzroy Inn also has a conference room, a rooftop deck for guests, a small dining room, and a view of the ocean. There is off-street parking for guests. There are some antiques displayed including an original Admiral Fitzroy Barometer that hangs in the lobby.</p><br>
<p>The Scalplock Mountain Fire Lookout in Glacier National Park is significant as one of a chain of staffed fire lookout posts within the park. The low two-story timber-construction structure with a pyramidal roof was built in 1931. The lookout affords views into the Park Creek valley and the Middle Fork of the Flathead River, which was traversed by the Great Northern Railway  and US 2, prolific sources of fires. The lookout was built to standard plans derived from USA Forest Service plans.</p><br>
<p>The Loneman Fire Lookout in Glacier National Park is significant as one of a chain of staffed fire lookout posts within the park. The low two-story timber-construction structure with a pyramidal roof was built in 1933. The lookout uses a standard design originated by the USA Forest Service. Built in 1930, it is one several similar structures built in a program to establish an overlapping chain of fire lookouts in the park.</p><br>
<p>The Numa Ridge Fire Lookout in Glacier National Park is significant as one of a chain of staffed fire lookout posts within the park. The low two-story timber-construction structure with a pyramidal roof was built in 1933. The lookout was built to a standard plan originated by the USA Forest Service as part of a program to provide overlapping fire lookout coverage within the park.</p><br>
<p>Author Edward Abbey spent the summer of 1975 manning Numa Ridge Lookout.</p><br>
<p>The Swiftcurrent Fire Lookout in Glacier National Park is significant as one of a chain of staffed fire lookout posts within the park. The low two-story timber-construction structure with a gabled roof was built in 1936. Its detailing is reminiscent of the Swiss Chalet style of the nearby Many Glacier Hotel. The design is modified from standard USA Forest Service plans. The Swiftcurrent lookout was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986, and it is also listed on the National Historic Lookout Register.</p><br>
<p>Buckley Homestead Living History Farm is a county park and historical museum located at Lowell, Indiana. The park is open from 7 a.m. to sunset year round. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The park is operated by Lake County Parks.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Buckleys were Irish immigrants who moved to the United States in the mid-18th century. They first moved to Northwest Indiana in 1849, where they built their first farmstead. The Buckleys ended up turning their farm into a 150-head dairy farm. They sold their milk to markets in Chicago during the early 20th century. Over four generations, the farm grew from 79 acre to 520 acre. In 1977, part of the park was donated by Rose Buckley Pearce to be part of the Lake County Parks. The Buckley Homestead was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>Features</h2><br>
<p>Next to the parking area, there is a visitor center which contains restroom facilities, drinking fountains, information kiosk, and a gift shop which is open on Sunday afternoons from May through the first of August. After that, a path will lead to the Buckley&#39;s farm. The park is divided into sections: Main House Museum, School, Pioneer Farm, and Back Again.</p><br>
<h2>Events and activities</h2><br>
<p>Buckley Homestead holds many events throughout the season. A list of events at Buckley Homestead are listed below.</p><br>
<h3>WWII Tribute</h3><br>
<p>Buckley Homestead used to hold a World War II Tribute every year by reenacting battles between the axis and allies. The tributes held skirmishes, axis and allies encampments, uniform demonstration, World War II Veterans Panel, and homefront displays.</p><br>
<h3>Legend of Sleepy Hollow</h3><br>
<p>This event is held annually. Buckley Homestead is transformed into Tarrytown, New York, popularly known as Sleepy Hollow. There, visitors walk with a guide through the homestead while encountering townsfolk in search of Ichabod Crane, the one person who can tell the stories of the village.</p><br>
<p>The Pacific Electric Railroad Bridge or Southern Pacific Railroad Bridge now officially named the "Pacific Electric Railway- El Prado Bridge" is a historic double-tracked arch bridge located in Torrance, California US, spanning Torrance Boulevard at Bow Avenue, a short distance west of Western Avenue. It was once part of the north/south San Pedro via Gardena Line of the Pacific Electric Railway, that agency&#39;s first interurban line to San Pedro.</p><br>
<p>Torrance, California is a town that was planned on the drawing board. Before 1912 there was no settlement in the area.</p><br>
<p>After splitting off to the east from the Union Tool Company plant which was once a short distance south of the bridge, the line terminated at the new Torrance plant of the Llewellyn Iron Works which was opened in 1916 (and was since 1923 for most of its life a Columbia Steel Company plant). It ran up and over the railroads east/west Torrance local line in much the same manner as a viaduct and is the only part of the PE which crossed itself in such a manner; indeed, the map on the following reference link refers to the bridge as a viaduct. This was due to the areas geography; simply building a spur off of the main line would have resulted in too steep a climb to the steel mill. The steel mill has since been demolished to make way for the national headquarters of American Honda Motor Company, but the once double-tracked Torrance line was reballasted and rerailed with used welded rail in 2003 and is still in use for local runs by the Union Pacific Railroad. Gone too are the Pacific Electric&#39;s Torrance shops at the western branch of the split, now the site of an industrial park still serviced by the aforementioned local line.</p><br>
<p>Designed by Irving Gill and built in 1913 as part of the original layout of the city as determined by Jared Sidney Torrance and Frederick Law Olmsted Jr., the bridge became the city&#39;s second entry in the National Register of Historic Places on July 13, 1989 after Torrance High School. It is also listed with the California Office of Historic Preservation.</p><br>
<p>The Pacific Electric Railway- El Prado Bridge, was dedicated as a Local Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers in 2013.</p><br>
<p>Though trackage, turnouts and remnants of a switch remain on the bridge, it is no longer in use nor has it been for quite some time. There is no chance of the bridge returning to service, since the right-of-way at either end has been redeveloped. Nevertheless, the Pacific Electric Railroad Bridge has become a symbol of the city as part of the Torrance Police Departments logo as of January 1, 2000, only the third such change in the departments history.</p><br>
<p>The Quartz Lake Patrol Cabin in Glacier National Park is a significant resource both architecturally and historically as shelters, one-day&#39;s travel  apart, for rangers patrolling the backcountry. The National Park Service Rustic log cabin was built in 1930 by local builder Austin Weikert, using National Park Service standard plan G913. The cabin is adjacent to the western shore of Quartz Lake.</p><br>
<p>The Bowman Lake Patrol Cabin in Glacier National Park, Montana, United States, is a rustic back-country log cabin. Built in 1934, the cabin has a single room, with a front porch extension to create a shelter from snowfall.</p><br>
<p>During the 1920s and 1930s the National Park Service built a series of snowshoe cabins or patrol cabins in Glaciers back country. The cabins were built to a standardized plan that was developed in Yellowstone National Park, which were themselves similar to those used by the USA Forest Service which took design cues from trappers cabins. Cabins usually included a bear-and-rodent-proof food cache under the floor. Furnishings were limited to a hinged cupboard which could be folded down to form a table, a stove, and a bunk bed.</p><br>
<p>The Bowman Lake cabin, located closer to the "front country" than most, featured a six-burner wood stove, a permanent table and a bedding storage box.</p><br>
<p>The Upper Park Creek Patrol Cabin in Glacier National Park is a rustic backcountry log cabin. Built in 1928, the cabin has a single room. The cabin was built to National Park Service design G913, and adaptation of cabins used at Yellowstone National Park, which had been modeled on those used by the USA Forest Service, which in turn were derivations of backwoods trappers&#39; cabins. The Upper Park Creek cabin was more difficult than most to construct, due to its high, remote location.</p><br>
<p>The James A. and Ruth M. Bailey House is a freestanding limestone mansion located at 10 St. Nicholas Place at West 150th Street in the Sugar Hill section of Harlem in Manhattan, New York City. The house was built from 1886 to 1888 and was designed by architect Samuel Burrage Reed in the Romanesque Revival style for circus impresario James Anthony Bailey of the Barnum & Bailey Circus. When it was constructed there were few other buildings in the area, and as a result, sitting as it does on an escarpment, the Bailey Mansion had a clear view to the east of the Long Island Sound.</p><br>
<h2>History and description</h2><br>
<p>Among the house&#39;s numerous design features are numerous unique stained glass mosaic windows, designed and fabricated by Henry Belcher, and the varying kinds of wood throughout each room. The interior is richly paneled in hand-carved timber. The exterior features Flemish-style gables and a corner tower.</p><br>
<p>Bailey sold the house two years prior to his death and from the 1910s to the 1950s, it was owned by a Bavarian doctor, Franz Koempel. In late 2008, she brought the house to market, seeking to sell it for $10 million. As of May 2009, it was being listed for $6.5 million. On August 31, 2009, it was reported that the house sold for $1.4 million, which is only around $170 per square foot.</p><br>
<p>In 2014, the house was renovated and cremated remains belonging to the funeral parlor were found in a Harlem storage unit. As of 2024, the house is still being repaired and restored by owners Martin Spollen and Chen Jie, and Jie&#39;s cousin Xu Haihua.</p><br>
<p>The Slide Lake-Otatso Creek Patrol Cabin and Woodshed in Glacier National Park are a small group of rustic buildings in the parks backcountry. Built in 1936, the patrol cabin is a frame building, unlike the more typical log patrol cabins found throughout the park. The similar woodshed is nearby. The cabins proximity to the Alpine-themed Many Glacier Hotel may have influenced the decorative detailing, which is unique in Glacier. The only other frame patrol cabin is the Fielding Cabin, in the southern part of the park. The cabin was completely reconstructed in the 1980s "to thwart a particularly aggressive pack rat population". The buildings are located along Otatso Creek, 1.25 mi downstream from Slide Lake.</p><br>
<p>The McCarthy Homestead Cabin is a remnant of early settlement in what would become Glacier National Park. Jeremiah McCarthy built the log homestead in the North Fork area in 1908 after completion of the North Fork Road and passage of the Forest Homestead Act of 1906. Building the cabin was part of beginning to prove up a 130 acre homestead. Jeremiah died of consumption in May 1909, but his wife Margaret and eldest child continued the homesteading process by tilling a required amount of land in 1909. And with further improvements each year a "Final Proof" certificate was earned in 1913. Meanwhile, in 1910 the property was included within the area of the new Glacier National Park; it became a private inholding. Margaret McCarthy died in 1939 but children and grandchildren kept spending summers here. In 1970 it was bought by the National Park Service.</p><br>
<p>The cabin is the only representative of pre-1910 homesteading activity on the west side of the Continental Divide in Glacier. During the 1930s a Civilian Conservation Corps camp was built nearby. At about the same time, the cabin, and others nearby, transitioned from homesteading inholdings to summer cabins for their owners. In the 1950s some of the CCC structures were relocated to the vicinity of the cabin. The National Park Service purchased the property in 1970.</p><br>
<p>The Polebridge to Numa Ridge Phoneline is a historic communications path in Glacier National Park in the USA state of Montana. The line was the last remaining single-line crank telephone network in the American West. The remaining line, insulators, and terminals are instructive of early communication technology. The system includes the remains of a single strand system using an earth ground. Wire was strung through ceramic insulators mounted on trees. Phone poles still stand in the meadow south of Kishenehn Ranger Station, and a phone remains in place at Bowman Lake.</p><br>
<p>The line starts at Polebridge Ranger Station, passing Skyland Camp-Bowman Lake Ranger Station, then Numa Ridge Fire Lookout. The first sections were constructed in 1911, with additions to connect ranger stations through the 1930s. In later years, FM radio saw greater use and the extent of the phone system declined. The Polebridge-Numa line persisted until 1985, when it was officially shut down, although unofficial use continued through 1988.</p><br>
<p>The North Fork Road in Glacier National Park was built in 1901. The Butte Oil Company constructed a rough wagon road from Lake McDonald to its oil well at Kintla Lake, encouraging the development of the North Fork region. From 1935–1945, the National Park Service developed the road adding culverts and drains. The unpaved road extends nearly forty miles, to the Canada–United States border.</p><br>
<p>In 1933 a proposal was advanced to extend the road to Canada to connect with a proposed road on the Canadian side of the border that would create a loop around Glacier and Waterton Lakes National Park. No further action was taken, and by the 1950s the plan had been abandoned.</p><br>
<p>The Upper Kintla Lake Patrol Cabin in Glacier National Park is a rustic backcountry log cabin. Built in 1931 to standard National Park Service plan G913, the cabin has a single room. The cabin was modeled after similar cabins used at Yellowstone National Park, which were in turn similar to those used by the USA Forest Service, which resembled trappers&#39; cabins. The Upper Kintla Lake Patrol Cabin is actually situated on the eastern shore of Kintla Lake which is almost 2 mi west of Upper Kintla Lake.</p><br>
<p>The West Entrance Station at Glacier National Park was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1942. An example of the National Park Service Rustic style, it was designed by the National Park Service Branch of Plans and Design.</p><br>
<p>The entrance station was designed at National Park Service architect Albert Goods suggestion to specifically resemble a toll station. The station is a wood-frame building faced with random ashlar stone. The roof is framed using logs., supported by 13 in log posts. The entrance station is similar to that built at the parks Saint Mary entrance at about the same time, using the same plans. A 1963 modification added two checking booths with board-and-batten siding under the wings of the station.</p><br>
<p>The West Entrance Station was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 4, 1966.</p><br>
<p>The Bighorn Ditch Headgate, also known as the Bighorn Canal Headgate, was built starting in 1892 to provide irrigation to the Crow Indian Reservation in south central Montana. The headgate structure diverted water from the Bighorn River to their lands. It was designed by William F. Graves, and construction was carried out by Crow workers. The project was completed in 1904. Today the site is included in Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area.</p><br>
<p>The structure includes a diversion dam extending at an angle into the river to divert water through the headgate into a canal flowing parallel to the river. The headgate structure was built of dressed local limestone, and is 35 ft wide, allowing a designed flow of 720 cuft of water per second. Five iron gates controlled the flow. The headgate structure is intermittently inundated by water held in the Yellowtail Dam Afterbay reservoir.</p><br>
<p>The Bighorn Ditch was instrumental to the Crow changing from their nomadic lifestyle to a settled, agrarian society. Their initial attempts at farming in the arid climate, beginning in 1885, resulted in failure. The government at last recognized that irrigation of the lands would be required for the people to gain consistent yields from their crops. The 1891 Reno Ditch provided water to 4500 (later 12,500) Crow acres. The Bighorn Ditch allowed the expansion of agriculture and cattle ranching to 35,000 acre. As a result, the Crow no longer needed Federal food subsidies.</p><br>
<p>The Bighorn Ditch headgate was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 12, 1976.</p><br>
<p>Experimental Mine, USA Bureau of Mines is a landmark located in the Pittsburgh suburb of Bruceton, Pennsylvania. In 1910, the newly created USA Bureau of Mines leased a 38-acre tract of land from the Pittsburgh Coal Company and opened the Experimental Mine.</p><br>
<p>One of the early findings in the Experimental Mine demonstrated that coal dust by itself was capable of propagating an explosion even in the absence of any methane gas. This demonstration was contrary to the old belief widely held at the time that coal dust could not explode without gas. This view had led to the very dangerous and widespread practice of using loose coal dust in mines to pack explosives in boreholes, which had cost many thousands of lives. These early experiments clearly proved that such a practice was too hazardous to continue.</p><br>
<h2>Current facilities</h2><br>
<p>By 1999 the complex made the transition to lab and office space as part of the National Energy Technology Laboratory network throughout the United States. The complex is home to three major agencies including the Federal Energy Technology Center (USA Department of Energy), the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (USA Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control), and the Mine Safety & Health Administration (USA Department of Labor). Over one thousand government and contractor employees worked at the site by 2000.</p><br>
<p>The Gilman Garrison House is a historic house museum at 12 Water Street in Exeter, New Hampshire. Built in 1709, it is a rare surviving example of a garrison house or fortified structure. It is owned by Historic New England, which operates the home as a house museum, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Gilman Garrison House stands near the eastern end of Exeter&#39;s historic waterfront commercial district, on the south side of Water Street at its junction with Clifford Street. It is a -story T-shaped structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. The oldest portion has a frame of oak timbers, with heaving wooden planking forming its walls. The upper floor projects over the ground floor and there are also wall structures indicative that part of the house could be isolated by means of a wooden portcullis. Despite its unusual architectural features, there is no evidence that the house was built as a garrison or that it was ever attacked.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Gilman family, proprietors of sawmills and a prominent early Exeter family involved in shipping, built the log house in 1709. It was owned late in the 18th century by Ebenezer Clifford, a master carpenter of renown throughout New Hampshire&#39;s Seacoast region, who took on Daniel Webster as a tenant while the latter attended Phillips Exeter Academy. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. In 2005 dendrochronology testing was conducted on the house, which confirmed a tree felling date of 1709.</p><br>
<p>The National McKinley Birthplace Memorial Library and Museum is a national memorial to President William McKinley, located in Niles, Ohio. Also known as the McKinley Memorial Library, Museum & Birthplace Home, the memorial is a marble monument with two wings.

<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Planning</h3><br>
<p>On March 4, 1911, President William Howard Taft authorized Congressional funding for a national memorial to be located in the town of McKinley&#39;s birth, Niles, Ohio. The same act of Congress had also officially established the National McKinley Birthplace Association. Association president Joseph G. Butler, Jr., who had been a childhood friend and schoolmate of McKinley, began a $100,000 local campaign to raise funds for the memorial in 1912. After securing nearly $200,000 for the memorial without utilizing taxpayer funding, Butler and the association sought public donations of $1 each to establish a permanent endowment. "Subscribers" (as the donors were called) would receive a book autographed by Butler "describing the work of the Memorial" that also contained a reproduction portrait of McKinley and "a facsimile of the act of Congress authorizing and commending the construction of the Birthplace Memorial."</p><br>
<h3>Competition and design</h3><br>
<p>The Association had its own ideas for the memorials general design when it announced plans to offer a prize for the best architectural proposal in 1914. The city of Niles had already set aside a five-acre park as a location for the memorial (purchased with municipal funds), and the association stipulated that the design would be for a granite two-story structure with a basement, and that the structure must include a 1,000-seat auditorium (the "main feature"), a public library, a "relic room" for display of assorted effects, "an assembly hall for meetings of the veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic, where State encampments may be held, and for Spanish–American War Veterans, and a room for the meetings of officials of the city." Additionally, the association specified that the memorial would house not only a statue of McKinley, but also "bronze busts of men associated with him in the affairs of the nation," such as those of Theodore Roosevelt, Marcus Hanna, Butler, and Andrew Carnegie and Henry Clay Frick. Carnegie and Frick were large contributors to the memorials fund. Upon publication of the association&#39;s announcement, a competition commenced within the American Institute of Architects.</p><br>
<p>Edgerton Swartout (formerly with McKim, Mead & White), Charles A. Platt (landscape architect) and Edward Brodhead Green (Albright-Knox Art Gallery) served as judges for the competition. Entries included those from Cass Gilbert (architect of the Woolworth Building), Henry Bacon (designer of the Lincoln Memorial), Harold Van Buren Magonigle (architect of the McKinley National Memorial and Mausoleum), the firm of Palmer, Hornbostel & Jones, J. L. Decker (a local architect) and Zantzinger, Borie & Medary (designers of the Detroit Institute of Arts).</p><br>
<p>The competition was concluded in 1915, and the $1,000 prize was awarded to McKim, Mead, & White. Their design, somewhat typical of their other Beaux-Arts work, reflected Greek and Roman themes in all aspects, from architectural elements to the lettering on tablets and statuary. Indeed, the entire memorial was described as would be a temple of antiquity, with McKinley assuming the role of "household god":</p><br>
<p>The library was divided into two stories, with space for open stacks and meeting rooms, including one reserved for McKinley memorabilia.</p><br>
<p>McKinley&#39;s statue, by J. Massey Rhind, originally conceived as a bronze monument, was carved from a single 35-ton piece of marble.</p><br>
<h3>Construction</h3><br>
<p>The cornerstone of the memorial was laid on November 20, 1915, and an inscribed plaque on it read "Erected 1915. To Perpetuate the Name and Achievements of William McKinley, Twenty-fifth President of the United States of America. Born January 29, 1843. Died September 14, 1901." The United States Marine Band played "On the Beautiful Blue Danube" (a favorite of Mrs. McKinleys) and "Lead Kindly Light" (reportedly a hymn sung at McKinleys deathbed) after a parade of organizations to which McKinley belonged proceeded down Niles&#39; Main Street.</p><br>
<p>John H. Parker Co. of New York oversaw the site&#39;s construction.</p><br>
<p>Despite the National McKinley Birthplace Association&#39;s specification for a granite structure, Georgia marble was used instead.</p><br>
<h3>Dedication</h3><br>
<p>Former President Taft (also an Ohio native), in a speech endorsing American involvement in World War I, praised McKinley at the memorials dedication ceremonies on October 5, 1917. McKinleys sister Helen unveiled her brother&#39;s 12-foot statue. Myron T. Herrick, George B. Cortelyou and Butler also spoke during the ceremonies. The McKinley Birthplace Memorial gold dollar was minted to finance the construction of the memorial.</p><br>
<h2>Current status</h2><br>
<p>The McKinley Memorial Library is open to the public six days a week and closed on Sundays and on certain holidays. The McKinley Memorial Museum is also open to the public Tuesday to Friday with no admission charge.</p><br>
<h3>Rehabilitation</h3><br>
<p>In 2008, the memorial underwent renovation to clean and repair the marble façade.</p><br>
