Lake in the Sky (Tennessee)

Lake in the Sky is an artificial lake in Blount County, Tennessee, formed by damming Flat Creek. It lies in the center of Top of the World, an unincorporated community. Location Lake in the Sky is a small mountain lake located on the slopes of Chilhowee Mountain. Foothills Parkway passes just to the northwest, and the boundary of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park lies just to the southeast. The lake lies in an area called The Flats, on a spur of Chilhowee Mountain. The surrounding country is rugged. Lake in the Sky is at an elevation of 2,008 feet (612 m) above sea level. The nearest major town is Townsend, Tennessee. Lake The lake is part of the watershed of the Little River. It is near the head of Flat Creek, a tributary of Hesse Creek. The Flat Creek dam is at the north end of the lake. The dam was built in 1966, forming the 52.5-acre (21.2 ha) lake. Flat Creek is non-navigable. Lake in the Sky is not operated for flood control purposes, but it is one of several dams in Blount County that may provide some protection against flooding. Specimens of the freshwater jellyfish Craspedacusta sowerbii, an exotic species that is widespread in the United States, have been found in the lake. Downstream of Lake in the Sky, Flat Creek had elevated iron concentrations in fall and summer of 2003. This is a concern since the creek is a direct tributary to a stocked trout stream. Settlement Juan Pardo may have visited the future site of the lake during his 1567–68 expedition. He found a small reddish stone, which was examined by Andrés Suarez, a "melter of gold and silver". Suarez considered that it contained silver. The lake today is surrounded by a small community at 35.6534181°N 83.9099010°W﻿ / 35.6534181; -83.9099010 named the Top of the World Estates. The Blount County Fire Protection District has its station #8 at 5714 Flats Road, on the east shore of the lake. References Notes Citations Sources

Rose Center is a community cultural center in Morristown, Tennessee, housed in the Rose School, which was built in 1892 as Morristown's first coeducational public high school. History Rose School was built in 1892. It was named after the judge and former Confederate colonel James G. Rose, who was chairman of the school board when planning began for the new school. It was used as Morristown's combined elementary school and high school until the end of the 1916 school year, when the high school relocated to a separate building. The school continued to operate as an elementary school until 1975. After the school closed, the red brick building was converted into a museum and cultural center as a community initiative related to the U.S. Bicentennial. Rose School was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. It is number 76001778, a late Victorian building circa 1875-1899.

Trinity United Methodist Church (Athens, Tennessee)

Trinity United Methodist Church is a historic Methodist church in Athens, McMinn County, Tennessee. The congregation was founded in 1824-5 as the Methodist Episcopal Church of Athens. Its first meeting house was a structure of hewn logs built by slaves. It stood at the southwest corner of West Washington and Church Streets in Athens. It was eventually replaced by a brick building. When the Civil War resulted in a split within the Methodist Episcopal denomination, the congregation affiliated with the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. After the 1939 merger between that denomination and the Methodist Episcopal Church and the Methodist Protestant Church, the church became known as Trinity Methodist Church. It became a United Methodist church in 1968, when the Methodist Church and the Evangelical United Brethren Church combined to form that denomination. The present church building was completed in 1910 at a cost of $32,449.28; its education wing was added in 1926. The Gothic Revival architectural design of the 1910 church was provided by Badgley and Nicklas, a Cleveland, Ohio, architecture firm. The building design features two towers, stained glass windows with stone tracery, an octagonal dome ceiling, and eight columns to represent the eight people who survived Noah's flood. It has an Akron floor plan, which allows the sanctuary to be expanded to accommodate large events. In 2009, the church building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Whiteville Correctional Facility

Whiteville Correctional Facility is a privately operated prison for men located in Whiteville, Hardeman County, Tennessee. The facility opened in 2002 and has a capacity of 1536 medium-security inmates. As of 2016, Tennessee houses state inmates in four private prisons. The state's Private Prison Contracting Act of 1986, however, authorizes one single private prison for state inmates. As of 2016 Tennessee technically contracts directly with CoreCivic (formerly Corrections Corporation of America) for inmates held at South Central Correctional Facility. For Whiteville and two others, the state circumvents the statute by contracting with the local county. In turn the county signs an agreement with CoreCivic. Whiteville is the location of another prison, the Hardeman County Correctional Center, less than a mile south of Whiteville Correctional Facility on the same road. It is also owned and operated by CoreCivic, opened in 1997, and also houses medium-security prisoners for the state. References
Mayborn Building

The Frank W. Mayborn Building houses the Human and Organizational Development program at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. History The Frank W. Mayborn Building was originally the Manual Training building, built at the George Peabody College for Teachers. The college finalized the building plans in July 1912. By August 1912, the Peabody College contracted the Hedden Construction Company for the price of $162,000. The building was completed in 1914, making it "the oldest building on the Peabody campus". Soon after its completion, the Manual Training building became known as the Industrial Arts building. As part of the process of reaccrediting their Master's of Library Science, the Industrial Arts building underwent a $600,000 renovation. Mayborn was a well-respected man who had served as a Peabody trustee for seven years. After observing Peabody's financial difficulties, Mayborn offered the school a gift of $1 million to be disbursed over 10 years. As a gesture of appreciation, the college changed the name of the Industrial Arts Building to the Frank W. Mayborn Building. According to Peabody president John Dunworth, "Mayor Richard Fulton... emphasized the significance of the event by proclaiming November 10 'Frank W. Mayborn Day' in Metro Nashville." At that time, the Mayborn building held "the Peabody School of Library Science, the college's programs for educators of youth, the instructional media center, faculty offices, and classrooms." Today, the Mayborn building houses Peabody's Human and Organizational Development program. Architecture and design The Mayborn Building was designed by Ludlow and Peabody Architects. The original design featured a skylight, a tin roof, birch floors, limestone facings, and "the most beautiful smokestack in Nashville". The pièce de résistance is its marble entryway and grandiose staircase. The exterior features beautiful red brick accented by stone columns. References

Lambuth University was a private Methodist university in Jackson, Tennessee. It was active from 1843 to 2011 and was supported by the Memphis Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church. The university began as the Memphis Conference Female Institute in 1843 and was later renamed in honor of Walter Russell Lambuth (1854–1921), a Methodist missionary who traveled globally. After several years of financial struggles, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools opted not to renew Lambuth's accreditation in 2011. Due to both the financial and accreditation problems, the Board of Trustees voted in April 2011 to cease operations two months later. Final commencement exercises were held April 30, 2011.
