<p>The Inskip Hotel was built in 1866, just north of Stirling City, California , and was added to the USA National Register of Historic Places  in 1975. The town itself was named after Mr. Edward “Doc” Watts Inskeep  who first established a sawmill here and apparently discovered gold at this location in 1857.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>After the original hotel burnt down after only two years of operation, the second built was a two-story, wood-frame structure of vertical boards and batten with an open veranda across the first story front. It had a high gable roof, simple sash windows with no ornamentation.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The town of Inskip, California was developed by P.M. Kelly in 1857. It was originally established along a stage coach route in a mining area north of Stirling City, which attracted both miners and enterprising business owners. The first hotel in Inskip was built in either 1857 or 1866 (see commentary, below). According to currently available sources, the structure built in 1866 and was originally named the Kelly & Company Hotel. In 1866 it was purchased by John Stokes who renamed it the Stokes Hotel. The hotel was destroyed by fire in 1868 and then rebuilt. After reconstruction, it was most likely renamed the Inskip Hotel. Local legend indicates that the fire was an act of arson. Local lore indicates that a resident ghost named Charlie is still looking for the arsonist. A commemorative plaque that appears on the hotel briefly records the history of the Inskip Inn:</p><br>
<p>This historic inn, first built in 1857 by Pat Kelley was sold to John Stokes in 1866. Destroyed by fire in 1868 and rebuilt in 1868, it is the only remaining hotel of 5 hotels which served the Inskip mining community. A gold strike in the early 1850s brought in a population of over a thousand by 1860. Inskip was the major midway station on the old Oroville-Susanville-Honey Lake Road. A distance of about 140 rugged miles of dust or mud. August 25, 1974</p><br>
<p>The creator(s) of the plaque places the first inn&#39;s construction in 1857 which is the year P.M. Kelly founded the town of Inskip. The Chico State (Identifier sc51582) also reports on one photo of their media collection that Rebekah J. Rugh and her husband were the proprietors of a hotel in Inskip, California from 1857 to 1861. It is uncertain at this time whether the correct date for the first "Inskip Inn" was 1857 or 1866 or if they were the same or different structures. However, it does appear likely that the current hotel that stands today was built in 1868 after the one at that same location was destroyed by fire in 1866.</p><br>
<h2>Present role</h2><br>
<p>During its history it has operated almost continuously as a hotel until around the late 1990s when it was purchased and used as a private residence. As a result of an earlier estate sale, many of the historic fixtures were sold. There were plans to restore the Inn and rename it the Inskip Inn & Bar with the plan to reopen in late 2003 or 2004. As of 2014, the structure still remained used as a private residence.</p><br>
<h2>2001 shootout</h2><br>
<p>In July 2001, the Inskip Inn also made local and national news for being the location of a violent shootout between 2 sheriff&#39;s deputies and an armed assailant. Butte County Lt. Larry Estes and Deputy Bill Hunter had responded to a complaint that the assailant, Richard Gerald Bracklow, threatened the owners of the Inskip Inn, which was near his cabin, and stole one or more guns. Both deputies and the assailant died of gunshot wounds received as a result of the altercation.</p><br>

<p>The town of Unity was incorporated in 1804, and for most of the 19th century had small district schools for the education of its children. In 1894 the state enacted legislation that encouraged the consolidation of school districts in order to improve quality and building standards. The town, whose population and student enrollment had been declining, voted in 1898 to build this school, which effectively replaced four of its eight district schools. It remained the town&#39;s largest primary school until 1953, when increasing enrollment and school overcrowding prompted the decision to build a new elementary school. The school was designed by James R. Taber, and was built on land purchased from him by the town at a cost of under $3,000. This school was closed, and used by the administration for storage.</p><br>

<p>The Callawassie Sugar Works is a historically significant industrial site at 29 Sugar Mill Drive in Okatie, South Carolina, on Callawassie Island in Beaufort County. The site contains the tabby ruins of two structures  and archeological evidence of a third structure . The sugar works, constructed circa 1815–1818, was a complex for processing sugar cane into sugar.</p><br>
<p>Archeological and historical evidence suggests that the Callawassie Sugar Works was part of a larger settlement which included housing for slaves and possibly an overseer&#39;s house. The settlement was mostly constructed soon after 1816 while Callawassie Island was owned by James Hamilton, Jr. The architect/builder of the sugar works is unknown. It is conjectured that the sugar mill was built sometime within the next three years, and based on plans similar to mill construction seen in the West Indies.</p><br>
<p>Research supports that James Hamilton, Jr., (1786-1857) was most likely the developer of the Callawassie Sugar Works (circa 1816). He was the son of Major James Hamilton, an aide to General George Washington in the Revolutionary War, and grandnephew of Thomas Lynch, Jr., a signatory of the Declaration of Independence. He served during the War of 1812. Through marriage, James Hamilton, Jr., was nephew-in-law to South Carolina&#39;s largest and most prosperous rice planter, Nathaniel Heyward, and stepson-in-law to Savannah River investor Nicholas Cruger. These gentlemen shared close familial and professional relationships and entrepreneurial drive to develop and implement new industries such as sugar production. Hamilton had acquired several close and influential West Indian connections who were heavily involved in the Caribbean sugar trade. Hamilton sold the property and moved to Charleston, South Carolina in early 1819, leaving no documentation on the mill and its anticipated use. Apparently, the sugar works were still operational when it was abandoned as ashes were left uncleared from the furnace.</p><br>
<p>The Callawassie Sugar Works&#39; construction appears to be based on observations made by Thomas Spalding. It incorporated three principal components: a mill, boiling house, and curing shed. The footprint of the buildings suggests that the boiling house and curing shed were aligned in a "T" configuration (little remains of the curing shed). The remaining structures include exterior walls of the one-story buildings with the brick boiling train still evident in the mill. Primitive mills of this kind usually had a set of four kettles arranged in a line, the tops of the kettles being raised from the floor.</p><br>
<p>Today, only the foundation of the mill and parts of the boiling house remain of the three structures of the sugar mill: the mill itself, boiling house, and curing shed. There is no evidence (above or below ground) that the tabby cement mill base was ever enclosed within a permanent structure, even though the base survives in excellent condition. While the boiling pans and masonry that supported them have disappeared, the boiling train bed, constructed of fire brick, is still intact, together with an ash pit and wall vents. The long tabby wall on the north side of the boiling house collapsed outward and retained enough integrity to enable theoretical reconstruction of the original layout of windows. Excavation of glass at the site suggests that the windows were glazed. Only tabby strip foundations remain of the curing shed, which was most likely timber framed. All machinery and mechanical equipment is gone. Despite the degradation of the sugar mill site over time, the remnants are still illustrative of sugar processing before the introduction of steam machinery in the late 1830s.</p><br>
<p>The sugar mill ruins on Callawassie Island are featured as a "unique example of industrial tabby" and "the only one of its kind to exist in South Carolina." Tabby, referred to as "poor man&#39;s masonry," is a building substance created by mixing locally available materials (such as oyster shells) with equal parts, water, sand, and lime. The Spanish brought it to the New World before A.D. 1700. Shellfish remains available from aboriginal shell middens provided a plentiful source for tabby construction. Tabby wall construction involved up to six successive pours, each requiring a set of forms or molds. According to the National Park Service, the tabby remaining at the Callawassie Sugar Works "appears to have been well compacted and meticulously cast."</p><br>
<p>The Callawassie Sugar Works is one of the few remaining structures from this early period of sugar production along the Atlantic Coast. Sugar was one of the few agricultural commodities protected by a tariff, which levied three cents per pound duty on foreign raw sugar in 1816. This inspired wealthy planter entrepreneurs of the Georgia and South Carolina coastal areas to explore the viability of a local sugar industry. Despite Hamiltons entrepreneurial hopes and Spaldings professional expertise, the growing conditions in the Low country of South Carolina were not ideally suited for the successful cultivation of sugar cane, which prefers a year-round temperature of 75 degrees Fahrenheit with at least 60 inches of rainfall. The sugar works on Callawassie Island is the only example of such an early enterprise in the South Carolina Low country.</p><br>
<p>The Callawassie Sugar Works was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 27, 2014.</p><br>

<p>The Kolmakov Redoubt Site is a historic archaeological site on the Kuskokwim River in western Alaska. The site is located downriver from the hamlet of Sleetmute, about 21 miles east of Aniak. The site was the location of a major trading post, which was one of the only ones established deep in the Alaskan interior by the Russian-American Company. The first site established by the Russians, in 1832, was little more than a log cabin near the confluence of the Kuskokwim with the Aniak River, and was known as Kolmakov&#39;s Townlet, after the trader Fedor Kolmakov. The success of this location prompted the construction in 1833 of an "odinochka"  at the present location, near the confluence of the Kuskokwim and Kolmakof Rivers. At this site the Russians collected more than 1,400 beaver pelts in 1834, when their entire Alaska trade amounted to about 5,000. This facility was then upgraded to a "redoubt" .
