Admiralty House built in 1814-19 for the Admiral of the British Fleet stationed in Halifax. In 1904 it became the property of the Canadian Government when the Royal Navy turned over the Dockyard. During World War I it was used as a military hospital with the kitchen used as an operating room. All the windows were blown out from the Halifax Explosion in 1917. Later used as classrooms and an officers' mess it is now a museum of naval history. It also has at least 2 ghosts.

A senior-level U.S. Army command was reactivated on Ft. Knox during a 10 a.m. ceremony Oct. 16.
V (Fifth) Corps – whose history dates back to 1918 and was last in an active status in 2013 in Wiesbaden, Germany – has once again joined the active duty ranks. V Corps will be one of four Army corps headquarters, and its mission is centered on supporting U.S. interests in Europe.
“The activation of (V Corps) headquarters provides the needed level of command and control focused on synchronizing U.S. Army, allied and partner nation tactical formations operating in Europe,” said Chief of Staff of the Army Gen. James McConville, when the reactivation decision was announced in February. “It will enhance U.S. Army Europe and U.S. European Command as they work alongside allies and partners to promote regional stability and security.”
V Corps is comprised of 600-plus Soldiers, of which a portion will be positioned at its forward command post in Poznan, Poland, on an enduring rotational basis and are responsible for operational planning, mission command, and oversight of rotational and other assigned forces in Europe.
The ceremony will be in front of the V Corps headquarters on post. The officiating officer will be Gen. Michael Garrett, U.S. Army Forces Command (FORSCOM) commanding general, and hosted by V Corps Commander, Lt. Gen. John Kolasheski.
"This reactivation is another milestone in the history of this mighty headquarters and we are extremely honored to share in celebrating this with Fort Knox and the surrounding communities," said Kolasheski, commanding general, V Corps. "We've received outstanding support from the Fort Knox local area and look forward to working with our bluegrass neighbors in the future."

NORTH AMERICAN ROCKWELL
APOLLO COMMAND MODULE (MOCKUP)
The Apollo command module is the NASA spacecraft that flew astronauts from the Earth to the Moon and back.
In 1961, NASA awarded the contract for the command module to then North American Aviation. It was a continuation of the "capsule" spacecraft design used in the Mercury and Gemini Programs. The Apollo command module was larger to accommodate three astronauts and used advanced computers and navigational equipment on the longer lunar flights. For most of the flight, the command module was attached to the service module which contained the propulsion, environmental, electrical, control and fuel systems.
Unlike the previous NASA spacecraft, the Apollo command module was built with a docking assembly and hatch so that it could dock with the lunar module. The lunar module would detach and land on the moon with two astronauts leaving the command module and its pilot in lunar orbit until their return.
Thirty-five command modules were built, with 15 of them being launched on manned space missions. These included eleven Apollo missions, three Skylab missions, and the Apollo Soyuz Test Project. The rest of the modules were used in various Earthbound tests or unmanned test flights.
This command module mockup was built by North American Rockwell for the CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite during their reporting of the Apollo missions. Made up of surplus command module panels, equipment, couches and other parts, it gave television viewers a visual of the interior of the spacecraft. During the Apollo missions, there was limited live and recorded footage for use by the networks. Mockups, models, graphics and other visual aids were important tools for reporters to help fill in the visual narrative of an Apollo mission.
The mockup was later used in the Ron Howard & Tom Hanks HBO miniseries From the Earth to the Moon. In the miniseries, the mockup was used by Emmett Seaborn, a fictitious news anchor with the fictitious NTC network.
Technical Specifications (Command Module Without Service Module):
Length: 30 ft-10 in
Diameter: 10 ft-7 in
Interior 210 cubic feet
Weight: 12.251 Ibs. (without service module)
Crew: 3
