“A few months later: the public square and the first houses of the new city of Donogoo in the process of growth.”
“Donogoo” opened in Paris in October of 1930 and was so successful it saved the struggling Théâtre Pigalle from ruin. All but unknown in the English-speaking world until 2011, the play by Jules Romains (1885-1972) traces the unlikely course of a desperate man (Lamendin) from his contemplation of suicide to unwittingly setting in motion a stock market swindle of global proportions. Investors, pioneers and prospectors are driven to seek their fortune in a place that doesn’t exist.
“Along the way, Romains finds time to thoroughly skewer the pretensions of those in the artistic, medical, journalistic, and banking professions, and to offhandedly explore, with a black-comic eye, the peculiarly Western versions of economic, racial, political, and sexual exploitation. . .” – The New Yorker Magazine.

Dallas was first settled in 1841, by John Neely Bryan as a trading post near the banksof the Trinity River. The cabin in this photo and the few next ones is a restored replica of the first house in Dallas. The original house was almost destroyed by a flood in the late 1800s. The cabin stands at Dallas County Historical Plaza also known as Founders Plaza less than a quarter mile from Bryan's original site.

The craigslist ad picture that drew my eye. The write-up convinced me it was a labor of love by two builder dads, John and Phil, one a roofing contractor. They built it to put on some land where they wanted to vacation, but the owner of the land ended up selling it before they finished the interior. Which was perfect so I get to finish it.
I found this description in a 1944 newspaper:
"It was erected by Mr Archie Mackintosh, who decided to reside at Flooding Creek (Sale), in 1914. It stood near the present police station."
(trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/64169501?searchTerm=%2...)
Sale was originally called Flooding Creek. When it was formally gazetted in 1851 Flooding Creek was replaced by Sale, a tribute to Major-General Sir Robert Sale, a British army officer who died five years earlier, in 1845, in the First Anglo-Sikh War.
Although Daniel Boone is often remembered as Kentucky's most famous pioneer, Dr. Thomas Walker was actually the first frontiersman in Kentucky, preceding Boone by 17 years. Walker led the first expedition through Cumberland Gap in 1750. Dr. Walker was an agent for the Loyal Land Company of Virginia and was exploring the western wilderness seeking land for settlement. Walker built the first cabin in Kentucky, a replica of which stands on the site today. (Kentucky State Parks)

Yumbulagang, Yumbulakar or Yumbu Lakhang or Yungbulakang (Palace) is an ancient palace in the Yarlung Valley, Nêdong County in the vicinity of Tsetang (Zêtang) in Southern Tibet.
According to legend it was the first building in Tibet and the palace of the first Tibetan king, Nyatri Tsenpo.
Yumbulagang may not today be the same building as legends says it is, but it is nevertheless a wonderful place and the views from the Palace is absolutely amazing.
The Palace is on a hill on the eastern bank of the Yarlung River in the Yarlung Valley - the cradle of Tibetan civilisation.
My visit to Tibet were in January 2011, a very cold time but on the upside hardly no tourists visit Tibet in winter time. And as it is too cold to work for both farmers and nomads, they traditionally have a month of and go on pilgrimage. Thereby, all sights where filled with Tibetans, mostly from the countryside.
Dressed up for the occasion, and very curious to meet Westerners, they made it worth sleeping without heat or electricity in below zero temperatures.

1960 Resident Engineer (and former KHS Life Member) Roy Hamilton's house under construction [aka "The Chalet"] Kununurra circa November 1960 [?], Ord River Irrigation Area.
KHS Digital Archive Number KHS-2010-2-066-bn-PD
This photograph was digitised with the assistance of, a grant from the Shire of Wyndham East Kimberley, other Donors and Volunteers.
Read below for a way to preserve your records, thanks to a 1996 trip to the National Library of Australia, who explained the "The Rolls Royce & the Volkswagen" Methods
The Chalet (Former KHS Museum) Fire in 1999
This was also the former KHS Archive, Museum and meeting place. The building fell victim to fire in 1999, caused by an electrical fault.
The present KHS Archive & Museum building, which was opened in 2001, with a major Federation Funding Grant, and grants from the Shire of Wyndham East Kimberley, LotteryWest and other donors, has been built on, and occupies this same site, on Coolibah Drive today, just 100 metres from the Post Office.
"The Rolls Royce & the Volkswagen" Methods
In 1996 the caption writer went on a journey to Canberra to accept a grant on behalf of KHS, as Vice President that year, at an official ceremony at the National Library of Australia (NLA), for the 1996 Community Heritage Grants Scheme. This was for a preservation assessment, of the KHS Collection, that was later carried out by the NT Archives Service.
At the National Library, in October 1996 all grant recipents (About 30 of us), were taken on an amazing whirlwind tour of the Library and its interesting hidden locations behind the scenes. We were also put through a crash course in archival preservation techniques, which was very useful and interesting.
One technique they told us about, which has stuck in memory and still used extensively today in the KHS Archive & Museum collections, and having a crucial role in the preservation of KHS Archives, is also very useful for anybody who'd like to protect and preserve their valuable photographs, documents and papers.
I can still picture the NLA "Classroom" when they said there are two very valid options for document preservation, and to remember the "The Rolls Royce & the Volkswagen" methods.
The "The Rolls Royce" method is using the (expensive) Mylar presentation display sleeves (Mylar is a safe archive material whereas other plastics like PVC can leak petrochemicals over time onto documents in the plastic). These look great and have their place but consider another option...
"The Volkswagen" method is to use good old cheap and freely available in large sizes, polypropelene (another safe archive material), "Oven Bags" to store all your precious archival material.
I took this idea back to Kununurra and our Hon. Archivist at the time, Margaret Aldersey Lawson, took the idea and ran with it. Margaret put everything she could into oven bags and then together, neatly stacked into archive boxes.
When the 1999 fire happened at "The Chalet," with fire brigade involved and water streaming onto and into the burning building, grave fears were held for the archive.
In an amazing aftermath, very few things were lost, and all archive materials were removed to the home of members, Barbara and Carold Dickey, where some things needed to be dried, but most was perfectly intact and forms the basis of our archive today. Much of what you will see on this site survived that fire to be here today.
Another good thing that came out of this fire is that KHS now has a new building with two purpose built archive rooms, one housing the KHS Archive and the other housing the Shire of Wyndham East Kimberley archive, as well as a spacious Museum area, office, and workroom/kitchen area. The museum and conveniences have accessibility features to allow access for wheelchairs and the disabled.

This photo from 1882 shows the first home of Alfred W. Bitting at 259 North Emporia. It is no longer standing. Both of the Bitting brothers moved to wichita from Allentown, PA. Since W.H. Sternberg built the first Bitting brothers clothing store and their second much larger clothing store as well as both of A.W. Bitting's and C.W. Bitting's second houses, it is a likely assumption that A.W. Bitting also had Sternberg do his first house, here, but there are no records yet to substantiate that. Building permits were not required by the City of Wichita until 1886. And back at this time, the city hadn't yet required numbers on houses and the address for this property (in 1883) was listed as, "w s Emporia ave 3 d s 2d st" which interpreted means the "West Side of Emporia Avenue, 3 doors south of Second Street". The more upscale the property, the more distinguishing design characteristics that made it easier to tell the designer (and builder). This property is not of sufficient scale to allow for ready visual identification. Note the street signs being simply nailed to the tree. Nailing street signs onto a nearby tree was the normal practice at this time.
Any additional information, ideas, comments and/or information is welcome and appreciated!

um, we bought a house yesterday! or rather, my in-laws bought us a house yesterday! dave and i are now official home-owners; his parents financed us, and in about 15 years this place will be all ours.
we had been talking about looking at houses after we were married, but this one came on the market and we all just really liked it. it's in a nice neighborhood, the kids and can stay in their schools, it has 2 bathrooms, and an awesome back yard. plus! it's my favorite color, red. if that's not a sign, then i don't know what is. we move in three days after the wedding.

Well, finished unpacking so now we're moving onto decorating. The first thing I did was to put up my display of old game boxes. These are pretty much all empty (except the floppy disk games) as I keep PC/Mac discs in a little CD binder, and the console games are... with the console things. These are just the ones that came with fancy cardboard boxes for some reason (special editions etc.)

Yumbulagang, Yumbulakar or Yumbu Lakhang or Yungbulakang (Palace) is an ancient palace in the Yarlung Valley, Nêdong County in the vicinity of Tsetang (Zêtang) in Southern Tibet.
According to legend it was the first building in Tibet and the palace of the first Tibetan king, Nyatri Tsenpo.
Yumbulagang may not today be the same building as legends says it is, but it is nevertheless a wonderful place and the views from the Palace is absolutely amazing.
The Palace is on a hill on the eastern bank of the Yarlung River in the Yarlung Valley - the cradle of Tibetan civilisation.
My visit to Tibet were in January 2011, a very cold time but on the upside hardly no tourists visit Tibet in winter time. And as it is too cold to work for both farmers and nomads, they traditionally have a month of and go on pilgrimage. Thereby, all sights where filled with Tibetans, mostly from the countryside.
Dressed up for the occasion, and very curious to meet Westerners, they made it worth sleeping without heat or electricity in below zero temperatures.
