... ist auch vorbei. Diesmal halt keine Schnapszahl wie hier oder da oder dort oder an dieser Stelle ;-)
This vacant house was built for Captain John Knapp in Douglas, Massachusetts between 1790 and 1800. Captain Knapp fought in the American Revolution and has been honored by having the local Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution is named after him. The house reflects late 18th/ early 19th century building traditions and maintains its historic character to a great extent with the exception of an enclosed porch that was added after 1879. Sadly, the property is for sale as a commercial lot and the house will likely be razed if the lot is sold. As a vacant building, it will fall further into disrepair.

Die Schmalspurbahn Eisfeld–Schönbrunn war eine knapp 18 Kilometer lange meterspurige Eisenbahnstrecke, die Eisfeld mit dem nördlich gelegenen mittleren Schleusetal verband. Weil die Endstation im Schleusegrund lag, wurde die Eisenbahnlinie in der Bevölkerung auch „Gründerla“ genannt. Der Bahnbetrieb wurde 1973 eingestellt. 1991 gab es in Schönbrunn noch das Bahnhofsgebäude mit Güterschuppen. Heute (2020) existiert offenbar nur noch das eigentliche Bahnhofsgebäude.
George Knapp was a Massachusetts engineer who became President of Peoples Gas Light and Coke Company of Chicago in 1893. A few later, he came across calcium carbide, which could be used to produce acetylene, used in lighting (especially for miners) and welding. In 1892 T. L Willson had found a way for it to be synthesized in an electric arc furnace, making it cost efficient, and Knapp quickly purchased the patent. With his friend Cornelius Billings, who succeeded Knapp as president of Peoples, Knapp founded Union Cabride and by 1904 had a massive factory in Michigan. The company was a success, making Knapp exceedingly wealthy. That same year, heavily overweight and with diabetes, Knapp was advised by his doctor to move to California. Eventually he moved with his family to Santa Barbara, building several house. The most famous one, called Knapp's Castle, was located here with with five bedrooms, five fireplaces, a guest house, servant's quarters, and a superintendent's house. Knapp later became interested in philanthropy, creating Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital and Knapp Hospital in Crescent City.
