July 1, 2018 - Laufás Turf House in Eyjafjörður, Iceland.
"Laufás turf farm is a former vicarage, a dwelling house, situated in the densely populated coastal farmland of Eyjafjörður in northern Iceland. The farmstead was modernized in the 20th century with new dwelling houses and stables and is still an inhabited vicarage. The old farm is a part of the National Museum's Historic Buildings Collection and is managed by the Akureyri Museum. The main thoroughfare in the area has long passed near Laufás and still does. Laufás has been one of the better beneficia with many perquisites and is mentioned several times in the medieval Saga literature. The earliest written sources reveal that a church fire took place there in late 12th century .
Laufás counts 12 houses and the whole complex is around 29 m long and 28 m wide. Most of the farmstead is constructed in the period from 1840-1877, but the origin of the farm is older. Five gables face the yard to the west, forming a gabled farmhouse. To the north is the living room, then entrance, hall (skáli), eider down house (dúnhús) and storage. The entrance gives access to a passageway that connect the other houses; bridal house (brúðarhús), hearth kitchen, pantry and small living room, with a two storey baðstofa at the other end. Both the upper and lower floors of the baðstofa house are divided into three rooms. To the south of the farmstead is Laufás church within a cemetery. The outhouses are no longer standing.
The lower part of the turf walls are made from stone and strengur, but the upper part from turf, klömbruhnaus, kvÃahnaus, strengur and snidda, with all the rooftops covered in turf. The gables are from timber. The living rooms, entrance, bridal house and the entire baðstofa house have panelled interior walls and wooden floors. The rest of the houses have visible turf walls and earth floor. Remnants of a stave construction are present in the passageway, which testifies to the farm's old origins. Part of the farm was built from reused timbers.
Laufás represents a large turf house, built in the northern tradition, where a mixed building technique has been employed." Previous text from UNESCO World Heritage Site:

The former doorway to 108-119 of the Wentworth Dwellings on Goulston Street. It is here that Jack the Ripper dropped a piece of torn apron from Catherine Eddowes undernearth some anti-semitic graffiti. The graffiti was immediately erased by Sir Charles Warren before it could be photographed, fearing anti-semetic riots had they waited.
The people are doing their own Jack the Ripper tour with a guide using this "Ripper Vision" thing where an image is projected onto a wall. Too gimmicky.

About six years ago, early in my digital career, I took a photo of the structure that was once a home.
I had forgotten its location. Yesterday afternoon, I found it again on Bailey Chapel Road in Pike County, Ohio.
My guess is that it was built during the constructiuon of the A-plant in the 1950's. If anyone knows the history, please write. I doubt whether it'll ever be on the Historic Register.
(I discovered viewing on black shows details of decay.)

I envisioned this piece as a cozy home, one that could be a cottage. Using the phrase "nest egg," I fashioned my cottage from photos from different parts of the world: the roof of one of the peculiar Cornish round houses, the windows and door from Mediterranean buildings. A collage, Dwelling is a home inside my head where comfort and unease reside together.

The park does a nice job of telling the story of the conflict between the Mormons and the Paiutes in this part of the world. The Spring was the center of each world: control told who got to dominate the surrounding desert.
The small cottages at 10, 11 and 12 Cataract Hollow Road housed the village's mill workers. Originally fifteen similar duplexes stood, each housing two families side by side with their own entrance. Each dwelling unit consisted of two small rooms on each of the two floors, and large families were likely cramped in their lodging. Feltville houses had no bathrooms, electricity, central heat, running water or closets.
The Feltville Historic District, known as the Deserted Village of Feltville, consists of a cluster of buildings, mostly long abandoned, dating to the 18th century. Around 1736, Peter Willcocks built a sawmill along the Blue Brook, clearing hundreds of acres of forest to support farmers as they settled the surrounding frontier area. In 1845 David Felt purchased 760 acres of land from the Willcocks family and built an entire town on the bluff above the brook to support the mill operation. By 1850, 175 people were living in Feltville. After Felt retired in 1860, may other business ventures were attempted int he area but failed. In 1882, Warren Ackerman bought the property and converted the town into a summer resort called Glenside Park. As mountain resorts gave way to the Jersey Shore, Glenside Park closed in 1916, and in 1921 the area was incorporated into the Watchung Reservation, one of America's first county parks.
Watchung Reservation, bound by Summit, the borough of Mountainside, and the townships of Berekley Heights, Scotch Plains, and Springfield, is the largest nature reserve in Union County. The reservation consists mainly of the upper valley of Blue Brook, between the ridges of First Watchung Mountain and Second Watchung Mountain.
