Crawfordton Tower was a tower house once held by the Crichtons in the 17th century and then the Hays. The site of Old Crawfordton is located around 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) south-east of the house.
Between 1863 and 1866 the present house was built for the Conservative politician Sir George Gustavus Walker (1831–1897), and designed by the Edinburgh-based architects Peddie & Kinnear. Built in local red sandstone, Crawfordton House is an example of Scottish Baronial architecture, with crowstepped gables, towers, turrets and carvings. There is a four-storey square tower over the entrance bay.
In 1940 the house was purchased for use as a school,and in 1941, pupils were evacuated from Belmont House School in East Renfrewshire to Crawfordton House, which had been converted into a preparatory school for this purpose. Extensions were built during the 1970s and 1980s, though these are excluded from the listed building. In 1995, Crawfordton House School closed down. The house was then run as Cademuir International School, which relocated from the Scottish Borders, but which ceased trading in 2006 due to financial difficulties.
Crawfordton House has been unoccupied since the closure of the school. In 2007 the house was put on the market for £1.3 million. As of October 2011, the house was being marketed with an asking price of £595,000, which was reduced to £495,000 in early 2012 and under offer in late 2012.
Completed 1911, heritage listed.
Sandgate Town Hall is designed in the Federation Free Classical style of architecture. It displays a number of characteristics of the style such as the visually prominent tower, asymmetry, informal massing and the use of contrasting patterns of brick and render to produce a decorative effect.

Schinia septentrionalis
State Listed as Threatened in Connecticut
The northern flower moth belongs to the Noctuidae family and can be found along rivers, wetlands, and meadows throughout North America. A large dark spot encompasses the majority of northern flower females’ forewings and their hindwings have beautiful, red-brown patterns. Males of the species are a dark brown, with a couple cream-yellow spots on their hindwings. With a wingspan of 25 mm and a fuzzy body, the flower moth is equipped to effortlessly transfer pollen from flower to flower. They feed on the nectar of many flowers, including their larval host plants, pink and purple-blue asters.
It is not clear as to why the northern flower moth has declined in numbers, but a couple of factors may be pollution and human disturbance. Pollution can be in the air, water, or soil and happens during human development. In an attempt to protect the flower moths habitat, buffered zones can be included in their protected habitat, ensuring enough region remains conserved from agricultural development, pesticide use, and human disturbance. The goal of protecting these species with minimal human disturbance isn’t to keep them separated and away from humans, but to rebuild a healthy population size that can successfully live alongside us.
In 2010 The Connecticut legislature passed a law banning lawn care pesticide applications on the grounds of day care centers, elementary and middle schools (grade 8 and lower) as a result of residents’ concerns about children’s health and the environment. Some Connecticut municipalities have gone beyond the requirements of the law and have stopped using pesticides to manage turfgrass on all their municipal properties. This is a good start to reducing the use of chemicals that harm the Northern Flower Moth, and is an example that other organizations can follow.

**Perry Courthouse Square Historic District** - National Register of Historic Places Ref # 03000881, date listed 2003-09-02
Roughly bounded by Birch, Elm, Sixth and Seventh
Perry, OK (Noble County)
The Perry Courthouse Square Historic District derives its name from the presence of the Noble County Courthouse (NR-1984) built in 1915. The historic courthouse square is actually a rectangle, two blocks wide/east to west and one block deep/north to south. Contained within the district are approximately thirteen blocks surrounding the square. The boundaries of the district are slightly irregular, designed to take in the greatest portion of Perry's historic commercial area, most of which remains intact today.
Born of a land run, Perry sprung to life on September 16, 1893. The tents that lined the square by nightfall were soon replaced by wood structures. In time, all of those wood structures were replaced by more enduring structures of brick and stone. The majority of the district's resources, 83%, were built within the period of significance. Of the resources built during the period, 86% were built prior to 1930. Stepping into downtown Perry is almost like taking a step back in time.
The district includes 132 buildings, structures and objects consisting of 3 previously listed resources, 92 contributing resources and 37 noncontributing resources. This makes the district 71% contributing. The boundaries of the district also take in a few vacant lots. These lots have been vacant historically and thus do not detract from the overall integrity, appearance and cohesion of the district.
Between 611 & 615 Delaware. This brick alley dates to 1910 when the brick streets were installed. The alley is 25' wide and 150' long. It features a raking stretcher bond pattern and is edged by a band of concrete on the east next to 609-611 Delaware. The west border of the alley is asphalt paving which fills a parking area for 615 Delaware. Asphalt covers a small portion nearest the street. The alley runs north to the cross alley. There is no visible stamping on these bricks. (1)

The John and Daisy May Livingston Ranch by Sorum was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in April 1987. Photographs from nomination, September 1985.
Built in 1916, the house is a rectangular bungalow with a low pitched overhanging crossed-gable roof. The gambrel-roof, plank truss barn was built around the same time. The Craftsman style house and large gambrel-roof barn display architecture unusual for rural Harding County. The house was also built with running water, an indoor bathroom, and steam heat. Daisy Livingston was a china painter and artist who also painted decoration on the walls of the living room and bedrooms. The Livingstons
raised sheep on the large ranch until 1936.

Comprised of 63 acres of rolling woodland bordering the Little Calumet River in Porter, Indiana, the Good Fellow Club Youth Camp is the only summer camp that U.S. Steel Company (USX) built for employees' children. Operated from 1941 to 1976, the camp remains one of the few facilities of its kind in the United States, providing an excellent material record of the system of employee benefits known as welfare capitalism. Because of its strong connection to the steel industry, which has long dominated Northwest Indiana's economy, the Good Fellow Club Youth Camp is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion A in the area of industry. The camp also qualifies in the areas of social history and recreation because of its association with the social and educational values of the 1940's and 1950's as reflected in a one-week summer program. The camp clearly conveys the conception that a park-like recreational development would positively affect urban industrial workers' families.
