Bryce Canyon National Park
Bryce Canyon National Park (pronounced /ˈbraɪs/) is a national park located in southwestern Utah in the United States. The major feature of the park is Bryce Canyon which, despite its name, is not a canyon but a giant natural amphitheater created by erosion along the eastern side of the Paunsaugunt Plateau. Bryce is distinctive due to geological structures called hoodoos, formed by wind, water, and ice erosion of the river and lake bed sedimentary rocks. The red, orange, and white colors of the rocks provide spectacular views for park visitors. Bryce sits at a much higher elevation than nearby Zion National Park. The rim at Bryce varies from 8,000 to 9,000 feet (2,400 to 2,700 m).
The Bryce area was settled by Mormon pioneers in the 1850s and was named after Ebenezer Bryce, who homesteaded in the area in 1874. The area around Bryce Canyon became a U.S. National Monument in 1923 and was designated as a national park in 1928. The park covers 56 square miles (145 km2) and receives relatively few visitors compared to Zion National Park and the Grand Canyon, largely due to its remote location. The town of Kanab, Utah, is situated at a central point between these three parks.

Shortly after 9:15 pm the Holyoke Fire Department arrived on scene of the old Parsons Paper Mill to find the structure fully involved in flames. The mill located on Sargeant St along the canals was one of the first paper mills in Holyoke.
As crews set up tower ladders and master streams for a defensive attack fire fighters from seven surrounding towns were called for mutual aid for equipment,manpower, and station coverage. In addition the rehab units from the Massachusetts Department of Fire Services and the City of Springfield were brought to the scene to help fire fighters cool down from the intense heat of the fire compounded by 80 degree temperatures that lingered from the hottest day of the year so far. The massive water supply required to bring the blaze under control would come from the city water supply and the canals which ran along both sides of the property.
After several structural collapses and tense moments with potential exposure problems, as the old Pad and Paper building which is occupied by businesses was threatened early on in the fire, the fire was darkened down enough to start releasing some of the mutual aid companies.
The intense fire which destroyed the abandoned mill would be considered very suspicious by the Holyoke Fire Chief as it had been vacant for years and no power was running to the building at the time the fire broke out. As of 2am no fire fighter injuries were reported but several fire fighters did require treatment for dehydration and heat exhaustion. The cause of the blaze remains under investigation at this time.

Dated 1756, remodelled 1866 by David MacGibbon. 3-bay, roughly cruciform-plan Gothic former church with pointed and basket arched openings and short lucarned spire to outer right with octagonal sectioned roof. Squared and snecked rubble to entrance elevation, random rubble to sides and rear, ashlar dressings. Trefoil datestone in gablehead. 3 hoodmoulded pointed arch traceried windows above; clock in gablehead.
The church was built in 1755 as a chapel of ease for the overcrowded St Cuthbert's Parish Church (hence Chapel Street) and opened in January 1756. According to Cassell's Old and New Edinburgh the original building was “a hideous and unpretending structure.” The Gothic front of this church was designed by David MacGibbon in the later 19th century, although the gabled bay to the N had been added in 1810. The church closed in 1969 and is now used for storage by the University of Edinburgh. It is also notable for the survival in situ of many high quality internal features.
Among those buried here are Dr Andrew Duncan, who attended Robert Ferguson, the poet, just before his death in the city Bedlam and who, from then on, worked to establish a hospital for the mentally ill; and the notorious Deacon Brodie, respected citizen by day and housebreaker by night who was hanged at the Tolbooth in 1788 and was the inspiration for Robert Louis Stevenson’s book The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
The Lower Trout Lake Bathhouse Complex and Contact Station includes five Mid-Century Modern resources, located on
two separate land parcels, in the same section of the Bald Mountain Recreation Area in Orion Township. The Lower Trout Lake Bathhouse Complex and Contact Station was designed in the mid-1960s by internationally renowned Michigan
architect Gunnar Birkerts. The larger of the two parcels of land contains a bathhouse complex of four closely spaced circular buildings – Men’s and Women’s Bathhouses, a Concession Stand, and a Pump House – all grouped within a large
circular pad of concrete pavement set back from the beach at Lower Trout Lake. The nomination also includes a small round Contact Station or “control booth” located about 4,600 feet away on the entrance road into this southern section of
the Bald Mountain Recreation Area. The buildings are closely related by their circular forms, concrete construction, and,
before vandals stripped them, copper roofs.
The Lower Trout Lake Bathhouse Complex and Contact Station is significant under criteria A and C. It is a set of Park
Service Modern buildings inspired by the nationwide Mission 66 program. The buildings were designed by world renowned architect Gunnar Birkerts who is known for his high-style modern structures. The Lower Trout Lake Bathhouse Complex and Contact Station’s structures are examples of two complimentary forms of mid-century modern design; one, a style of park building known as Park Service Modern, made popular by the National Park Service and the Mission 66 program architects; the other, the distinctive architectural style produced by Gunnar Birkerts at the time, during the beginning of the busiest point in his career. The buildings are less than fifty years old, yet because of their unique design, association with a
nation-wide program, and were designed by a master architect; they are eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places at the National level.
The Lower Trout Lake Bathhouse Complex and
Contact Station was listed in the National Register of HIstoric Places on September 3, 2013.

The great gate stands to the north of the entrance forecourt (jilaukhana) and provides a symbolic transition between the worldly realm of bazaars and caravanserai and the spiritual realm of the paradise garden, mosque and the mausoleum. Its rectangular plan is a variation of the 9-part hasht bihisht plan found in the mausoleum. The corners are articulated with octagonal towers giving the structure a defensive appearance. External domes were reserved for tombs and mosques and so the large central space does not receive any outward expression of its internal dome. From within the great gate, the Mausoleum is framed by the pointed arch of the portal. Inscriptions from the Qu'ran are inlaid around the two northern and southern pishtaqs, the southern one 'Daybreak' invites believers to enter the garden of paradise.

"Mmm, in 1906, the Fire gutted the inside, the roof and the original windows, but the walls are still the original 1854 structure.. The sign (replaced, of course, it's wood...) below the clock still has the same saying (before 1906, there was a brothel across California Street) "Son, observe the time and fly from evil..."

Old Saint Mary's Cathedral & Chinese Mission
A Missionary Community of Faith Served by the Paulist Fathers Since 1894
Old St. Mary's Cathedral: Old St. Mary's is one of the most prominent buildings in the Chinatown area. The cathedral was built by Chinese laborers in 1854 using brick that was shipped around Cape Horn and granite from China. Though the original was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake, the cathedral was rebuilt in 1909. 660 California St. www.sfgate.com/neighborhoods/sf/chinatown/

The Site of Old St. Mary's
Cornerstone 1853
Dedicated 1854
The first building erected as a cathedral in California, Old St. Mary's served the archdiocese of San Francisco in that capacity from 1854 to 1891. Once the city's most prominent building, much of its stone work was quarried and cut in China and its brick brought "around the Horn" in sailing ships. California Registered Historical Landmark No.810. Plaque placed by the California State Park and Commission in cooperation with the Paulist Fathers and the Grand Parlor, Native Sons of the Golden West, May 7, 1966.
Old St. Mary's Church was established by Father Henry Ignatius Stark as a mission. The purpose was to teach the Chinese community about the Catholic faith. It was built by Chinese laborers in 1854 with brick brought around Cape Horn and granite cut in China. It was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake and rebuilt in 1909. Across from this Catholic landmark is St. Mary's Square, where a 12-foot statue of Sun Yat Sen, founder of the Chinese Republic (1911-1913), is located. www.sanfranciscochinatown.com/attractions/oldstmary.html

Our shade structure is not yet complete. We made it to a point where
the first layer of shade cloth went up, but now we need a second
layer. We cut and welded two more beams to help hold up the second
layer of reed mats that will go on top of the structure. Wendy
actually did all the welding today showing me her made skills. Her
weld beads look damn good.
