Almaden Quicksilver County Park

Almaden Quicksilver County Park is a 4,163 acres (17 km2) park that includes the grounds of former mercury ("quicksilver") mines adjacent to south San Jose, California, USA. The park's elevation varies greatly: the most used entrances (on the east side of the park) are less than 600 feet (183 m) above sea level, while the highest point in the park is over 1,700 feet (518 m) above sea level. The park is owned by the County of Santa Clara and managed by the Santa Clara County Parks and Recreation Department. Its grounds include the Guadalupe Reservoir and features sweeping views of San Jose. Adjacent to the park is the Almaden Reservoir. The Casa Grande Almaden Quicksilver Mining Museum is located in nearby New Almaden. The park is named after the New Almaden Quicksilver Mines, which were named after the mercury mine in (old) Almadén, Spain, and produced mercury that was used to process ore during the Gold Rush. History The park's New Almaden Mines were in operation from 1847 to 1976. The mines were highly important during the California Gold Rush, since mercury was used to extract gold from ore. By the time Santa Clara County bought the mines in 1976 and ended operations, 83,974,076 pounds (37,388 metric tons) of mercury (worth more than US$70 million) had been extracted. The remains of a variety of structures left over from the 135 years of mining activity, including housing for the up to 1,800 miners, are scattered about the park, with the biggest concentration at what was known as English Camp, established by Cornish miners in the 1860s. Some structures were built later by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and there is a memorial honoring the Civilian Conservation Corps firefighters that were stationed there for a time. Conversion from mines to park In the period 1976 to 1978, the county developed a number of new large parks in rapid succession including Grant Ranch Park, Sanborn Park and Almaden Quicksilver County Park. Very soon after buying the mining property in 1976, Santa Clara County began planning for park usage, in an era where the county parks program was aggressively expanding. The county parks director envisioned a historic park where visitors could experience the mining past and also enjoy the biodiversity of the natural setting. Facilities plans were created and an Environmental Impact Report was prepared. Principal issues assessed in the park proposal were: biological impacts upon habitat by park users water quality impacts to creeks draining the watershed visual and drainage impacts of road improvements historical analysis of mine usage See also Shaft mining Surface runoff New Almaden town and quicksilver mines References External links Almaden Quicksilver County Park Official Website Geocities userpage with park history and many pictures (Archived 2009-10-25)
Almaden Reservoir

Almaden Reservoir is an artificial lake in the hills south of San Jose, California in the United States. It borders on the 4,163-acre (1,685 ha) Almaden Quicksilver County Park, which provides limited fishing ("catch-and-release"), picnicking, hiking, and horseback riding activities. Swimming and boating are not permitted in the reservoir. The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment has issued a "Do Not Eat" advisory for any fish caught in Almaden Reservoir due to elevated levels of mercury. History The reservoir was formed by the Almaden Dam, built in 1936 (1936) across Alamitos Creek near the community of New Almaden. Its waters reach the San Francisco Bay by way of the Guadalupe River. It is one of the smaller reservoirs owned by the Santa Clara Valley Water District. Almaden Dam Almaden Dam is an earthen dam 110 feet (34 m) high and 500 feet (150 m) long containing 250,000 cubic yards (190,000 m3) of material. Its crest is 615 feet (187 m) above sea level.

Alpine County Courthouse

Alpine County Courthouse is a building built in 1928 in Markleeville, California. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. It houses the Superior Court of California, County of Alpine, informally the Alpine County Superior Court, the California superior court with jurisdiction over Alpine County. Alpine is the smallest county in California by population. History Alpine County was formed in 1864 following the Comstock Lode discovery, partitioned from neighboring Amador, El Dorado, Calaveras, Mono, and Tuolumne counties. At the time of the county's formation, Silver Mountain City was the county seat and most populated town, but the mines were shuttered and Silver Mountain City was abandoned soon after Congress demonetized silver in 1873. The county seat was moved to Markleeville in 1874. Court was held in the Markleeville Odd Fellows Hall starting in 1875, with prisoners held in the Old Log Jail. The cornerstone of the courthouse was laid in June 1928. The courthouse opened in September of the same year. The cost of building the structure was $75,000. Over the years, the courthouse served as the superior and municipal court for Alpine County, the district attorney's office, the sheriff's office, and the probation department. The current Alpine County Courthouse was originally completed in 1928 to serve as the firehouse and one-engine garage. It was designed by Frederick J. DeLongchamps and built from locally quarried rhyolite tuff blocks, quarried above nearby Silver Mountain City, in the Romanesque Revival style. Other stone used in the structure was taken from the ruins of the jail of Silver Creek in Plumas County. The building was originally intended to be a two-story structure but financial considerations limited it to one story; residents had passed a US$18,000 (equivalent to $330,000 in 2025) bond issue in 1927 to fund construction. In 1948 the basement of the courthouse was remodeled to provide additional storage space. The remodeling was overseen by Fenwick Irwin. In 1987, footage from the CBS show High Mountain Rangers was shot at the courthouse. The 1928 courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. The Alpine County courthouse is still in use. Proposed new courthouse Funding was authorized for a new Alpine County Courthouse in 2008 via California Senate Bill 1407, but plans were canceled in December 2011.

Alpine County Courthouse

Het Alpine County Courthouse is het gerechtsgebouw van Alpine County in de Amerikaanse staat Californië. Het bevindt zich in de hoofdplaats Markleeville. Het eclectische gebouw dateert uit 1928 en werd ontworpen door Frederic Joseph DeLongchamps, een architect uit Nevada met een resem lokale overheidsgebouwen op zijn naam. Het werd ontworpen als brandweerkazerne, oorspronkelijk getekend met twee verdiepingen, maar vanwege de kostprijs bleef het beperkt tot één bouwlaag. Sinds 2004 staat het op het National Register of Historic Places, een van slechts twee zulke bouwwerken in Alpine County. In 2008 werd financiering goedgekeurd om het gebouw te vervangen door een nieuw gerechtsgebouw, maar die plannen werden in 2011 opgeborgen. Op de plaats van het gerechtsgebouw stond voordien de blokhut van Jacob J. Marklee, die in 1862 claim legde op 65 hectare land in wat later Alpine County zou worden. Het dorp Markleeville verrees op Marklees land. De plek is erkend als California Historical Landmark (#240). Zie ook Old Webster Schoolhouse
Alta Loma High School

Alta Loma High School is a public high school located in Rancho Cucamonga, California, United States, and is part of the Chaffey Joint Union High School District. History Prior to 1955, all high school students in the Alta Loma, Cucamonga and Etiwanda Elementary School Districts received high school education at Chaffey High School in Ontario. With the opening of Upland High School in 1955, most of these students attended Upland High for high school studies. In the early 1960's rapid housing growth in the Alta Loma, Cucamonga, and Etiwanda areas created the need for a new high school. The Chaffey Union High School District issued bonds for construction of the new school located on farmland along the north side of Baseline Road just east of Carnelian Street in Alta Loma. A contract for construction was issued to Berry Construction of Ontario, with groundbreaking in March 1962. The primary construction was completed in July 1963 at a cost of $2.38 million. The freshman, sophomore, and junior classes of 1967, 1966, and 1965 respectively entered in the fall of 1963, with a formal dedication on November 19, 1963 (the senior class was allowed to finish at Upland High School with the class of 1964)., With funding received from state bonds, expansion work was done between 1998 and 2001, adding on a new Math and Science building, a new dance studio, weight rooms, and a new library, along with renovation work on sites around the campus. On March 13, 2025, the mascot changed from the Braves to the Lions. Academics Alta Loma was a recipient of a Golden Ribbon Award from the California Department of Education in 2017 and a silver medalist for the U.S. News & World Report 2018 Best High Schools.

Alta Plaza Park

Alta Plaza Park is a 12.9-acre (5.2 ha) public park in San Francisco, California and caps the top of the western edge of Pacific Heights. It falls under the jurisdiction of the city's Supervisorial District 2. The park is served by several San Francisco Municipal Railway bus lines. It gets its name from the eponymous spring. Background Alta Plaza consists of four square blocks at the top of Pacific Heights and overlooks much of San Francisco's Marina and Cow Hollow Districts, the Presidio, Fort Mason and Alcatraz. It is bordered by Jackson Street on the north, Clay Street to the south, and with Steiner and Scott Streets on its east and west edges, respectively. The plaza cuts off the east–west continuation of Washington Street and north–south continuation of Pierce Street. The plaza provides three hard surface tennis courts and a small playground in its center and has a large grass park on its northern half and terraced lawns on it southern half. The steps at Alta Plaza are featured in the 1972 film What's Up, Doc?. They were used without permission and were badly damaged during filming of the signature chase scene (in which a Volkswagen Beetle, a Yellow Cab, a black Cadillac Fleetwood limousine and a Cadillac DeVille Convertible all clumsily speed down the steps), and the damage can still be seen today.

America Plaza station

America Plaza station is a stop on the Blue and Silver lines of the San Diego Trolley. Located in the downtown Core of San Diego, California, it is directly connected to One America Plaza, the city's tallest building. The station, along with its accompanying 34-story high-rise building, opened on November 14, 1991, replacing Columbia Street station, which was one block to the east. Since it opened along a line segment already in service, America Plaza station is the second infill station in the San Diego Trolley system, following E Street station. History America Plaza was originally the point where the Orange and Blue lines diverged. Prior to the system redesign on September 2, 2012, the Orange Line looped south and east towards Gaslamp Quarter station and then returned to 12th & Imperial Transit Center, while the Blue Line turned north towards Santa Fe Depot en route to Old Town Transit Center. The redesign shortened the Blue Line's northern terminus to America Plaza and rerouted the Orange Line to terminate at Santa Fe Depot, replacing the western portion of the downtown loop with Green Line service. However, with the completion of Mid-Coast Trolley extension on November 21, 2021, the Blue Line was extended northward through Santa Fe Depot and Old Town to serve new stations. This station underwent renovation from October 21 until December 19, 2011, as part of the Trolley Renewal Project, during which a temporary stop was set up between Columbia and State streets to serve the area. Additionally, Courthouse station opened on April 29, 2018 becoming the new terminus of the Orange Line. Note References

Berkeley School of Theology

The Berkeley School of Theology (BST) is a Baptist theological institute in Berkeley, California, U.S.. It is affiliated with the American Baptist Churches USA. It is part of the Graduate Theological Union, a consortium of theological schools and centers in the Berkeley area. History The earliest roots of Berkeley School of Theology lie in the chartering of California College, Vacaville, in 1871. In 1887, the college moved to Oakland, and in 1912 to Berkeley, at which time it changed its name to Berkeley Baptist Divinity School (BBDS), keeping this name until 1968. In 1915, BBDS merged with the Pacific Coast Baptist Theological Seminary, which had begun in Oakland in 1890 and had moved to Berkeley in 1904. In 1919, the school building Hobart Hall at 2606 Dwight Way, Berkeley was designed by architect Julia Morgan. Hobart Hall is a Berkeley Landmark since September 8, 1998, and has a historical plaque. In 1968, BBDS merged with California Baptist Theological Seminary (founded in 1944 in Los Angeles, and located in Covina since 1951). To reflect the fact that the school was no longer wholly in Berkeley, it was renamed the American Baptist Seminary of the West, but six years later the Covina faculty moved to the Berkeley campus, effecting considerable cost savings and at the same time availing themselves of the resources of the Graduate Theological Union. In July 2020, ABSW changed its name again to Berkeley School of Theology. Academics BST offers a wide range of programs from specialized certificates, accredited Master of Divinity (M.Div.), Master of Community Leadership (MCL), a fully-online Master of Theological Studies (MTS) and Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) degrees. Jointly with the Graduate Theological Union, BST offers an accredited Master of Arts (MA). BST also participates with the Graduate Theological Union in offering the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree.
