Från kronogård till utarrenderad egendom
Även från 1600-talet finns uppgifter om skatt som betalades i form av mjöl och ål. Ålgård var en kronogård (ägd av staten) fram till 1689. Då donerades gården till kronobefallningsmannen (kronofogde) Johan Seth, som också bodde där något år. Gården förblev i släktens ägo till 1827.
Därefter kom en period med många ägarbyten, ibland bolag med flera ägare, ibland enstaka eller enskild ägare. Fåtal ägare har själva varit mjölnare. De som ägde fastigheten fick som regel en viss procentdel av intäkterna från kvarn, såg och ålfiske. Periodvis har ytterligare en arrendator eller en dräng tagit hand om djur och jordbruk.
Den ursprungliga kvarnen låg vid Grindsbyvattnets naturliga utlopp. Vattennivån i Grindsbyvattnet reglerades genom ett dämme fäst i berghällarna en liten bit nedströms. Järnbultarna från de gamla dammluckorna finns fortfarande kvar alldeles under den lilla träbro som byggts över vattnet.

"Hertford is a town and the county seat of Perquimans County, North Carolina, United States. The current population of Hertford, North Carolina is 1,912 based on the 2020 census. The US Census estimates the 2021 population at 1,925. The last official US Census in 2010 recorded the population at 2,143. Hertford is located in North Carolina's Inner Banks region and is part of both the Elizabeth City Micropolitan Statistical Area and the Hampton Roads region. It is named after the county town of Hertford, England.
Hertford was originally incorporated in 1758 as the county seat for Perquimans County, first inhabited by the Yeopim Indians. County records show that the Yeopim chief Kalcacenin sold land to George Durant at the river mouth in March 1662, adjacent to land he had already sold to Samuel Pricklove. The area was settled soon afterwards, and a brick house on the site, the Newbold-White House, has been dated by dendrochronology to 1730; it is the oldest known brick structure in the state.
Through the first part of the 20th century, Hertford thrived as a lumber town, making good use of the nearby river. The bridge that spanned the river was a floating bridge, made of steel and wood. When a boat came near and wanted passage, the bridge would be unhooked from one bank and allowed to float out of the way. When the boat had passed, lines were used to haul the free end of the bridge in and reconnect it. An swing bridge with S-shaped approaches is in use today. Local lore claims its shape is unique in the US, but the Blaine Hill "S" Bridge predates it by over a century.
Hertford is the hometown of baseball pitcher Catfish Hunter. Disc jockey Wolfman Jack is buried in nearby Belvidere, and the record company he started is still located in Hertford." - info from Wikipedia.
The fall of 2022 I did my 3rd major cycling tour. I began my adventure in Montreal, Canada and finished in Savannah, GA. This tour took me through the oldest parts of Quebec and the 13 original US states. During this adventure I cycled 7,126 km over the course of 2.5 months and took more than 68,000 photos. As with my previous tours, a major focus was to photograph historic architecture.

The Low Memorial Library is a building on the campus of Columbia University in Morningside Heights, Manhattan, New York City, United States. Designed by Charles Follen McKim of the firm McKim, Mead & White, the building was constructed between 1895 and 1897 as the university's central library. The building was funded with $1 million from university president Seth Low, who named the edifice in memory of his father, Abiel Abbot Low. It houses the central administrative offices of the university. Located near 116th Street between Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue, Low is arranged in the shape of a Greek cross.
Three sets of stairs on the south side of the building lead to an Ionic-style colonnade with a frieze describing the library's founding. The steps contain Daniel Chester French's sculpture Alma Mater, a university symbol. Inside, Low contains four stories, the most prominent of which is the raised first floor, which has an entrance vestibule and an ambulatory around an octagonal rotunda. The ambulatory leads to offices on the outer walls. The rotunda has four Vermont-granite columns on each of four sides, as well as a sky-blue plaster dome. The library's stacks were meant to store 1.5 million volumes; the east wing hosted the Avery Architectural Library and the north wing hosted Columbia's law library.
The library was built as part of Columbia University's Morningside Heights campus, which was developed in the 1890s according to a master plan by McKim. When Low Library was completed, it was poorly suited for library use, being overcrowded as early as the beginning of the 20th century. However, Low's central location made it a focal point of the university's campus. Following the completion of the much larger Butler Library in 1934, the building was converted to administrative offices. Low was designated as a New York City landmark in 1967, with the first-floor interior being designated in 1981, and the building was also designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1987.
Low Library is at the center of the Columbia University campus in the Morningside Heights neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City. It carries the official address 535 West 116th Street, though the section of 116th Street between Broadway to the west and Amsterdam Avenue to the east is part of the private College Walk. Low is raised above the northern portion of the campus, which itself is a terrace above the South Court to the south. The library building occupies the highest point of the original campus.
The building is surrounded by Miller Theatre and Lewisohn Hall to the southwest; Earl Hall to the west; Mathematics and Havemeyer Halls to the west; Uris Hall to the north; Schermerhorn, Avery, and Fayerweather Halls to the northeast; St. Paul's Chapel to the east; and Buell, Philosophy, and Kent Halls to the southeast; Earl Hall and St. Paul's Chapel are both designed along the same west-east axis as the library building. This arrangement is part of McKim, Mead & White's design for the campus.
The terrace is connected to the South Court by two flights of steps; the library proper is approached by another flight above the terrace. Known as "the Steps", the "Low Steps", or the "Urban Beach", they are a popular meeting area for Columbia students. They also serve as a connection between the northern and southern sections of Columbia's campus.
The flight from the South Court to an intermediate landing is 325 to 327 feet wide. The flight from the intermediate landing to the terrace is narrower, at about 134 to 140 feet. This flight itself has an intermediate landing containing the Alma Mater sculpture by Daniel Chester French. The statue depicts a woman, personifying the traditional image of the university as an alma mater. Hidden in the statue's leg is an owl symbolizing knowledge and learning; college superstition has it that the first member of the incoming class to find the owl will become class valedictorian. The centers of the stairs are curved slightly upward to remove the impression that they were sagging. As a result, the center of each step is about 3.5 inches taller than the extreme ends. Smaller sets of staircases connect the intermediate landing to passages at terrace level on the west and east.
Architecture critic Paul Goldberger said of the Steps in 1987: "The building itself, for all the power of its immense scale and huge dome, seems almost to recede, deferring to the stairs before it." During commencement speeches, Columbia's "graduation mace" is customarily carried down the stairs. The stairs have also been used for other speeches, such as a 1991 speech by novelist Salman Rushdie after the Iranian government targeted him for assassination.
