In 1914 a Tudor office and chapel building were added, both designed by Mount Clemens architect Theophilus Van Damme. Family mausoleums and crypts are scattered among the in-ground burials, as well as a wide variety of 19th and early 20th century monuments. The cemetery is an outstanding example of an urban, park-like memorial burial ground, retaining the feel of a Victorian-era rural cemetery through both landscaping and the variety and quality of its gravemarkers.

Gothic Revival ( also referred to as Victorian Gothic , neo-Gothic , or Gothick ) is an architectural movement popular in the Western world that began in the late 1740s in England . Its momentum grew in the early 19th century , when increasingly serious and learned admirers of neo-Gothic styles sought to revive medieval Gothic architecture , in contrast to the neoclassical styles prevalent at the time . Gothic Revival draws features from the original Gothic style , including decorative patterns , finials , lancet windows , hood moulds and label stops . The Gothic Revival movement emerged in 18th-century England , gaining ground in the 19th . Its roots were intertwined with deeply philosophical movements associated with Catholicism and a re-awakening of high church or Anglo-Catholic belief concerned by the growth of religious nonconformism . Ultimately , the Anglo-Catholicism tradition of religious belief and style became known for its intrinsic appeal in the third quarter of the 19th century . Gothic Revival architecture varied considerably in its faithfulness to both the ornamental style and principles of construction of its medieval original , sometimes amounting to little more than pointed window frames and a few touches of Gothic decoration on a building otherwise on a wholly 19th-century plan and using contemporary materials and construction methods . In parallel to the ascendancy of neo-Gothic styles in 19th-century England , interest spread to the rest of Europe , Australia , Sierra Leone , South Africa and to the Americas ; the 19th and early 20th centuries saw the construction of very large numbers of Gothic Revival and Carpenter Gothic structures worldwide . The influence of Revivalism had nevertheless peaked by the 1870s . New architectural movements , sometimes related as in the Arts and Crafts movement , and sometimes in outright opposition , such as Modernism , gained ground , and by the 1930s the architecture of the Victorian era was generally condemned or ignored . The later 20th century saw a revival of interest , manifested in the United Kingdom by the establishment of the Victorian Society in 1958 .

Edsel Bryant Ford ( November 6 , 1893 - May 26 , 1943 ) was the son of Clara Jane Bryant Ford and the only child of Henry Ford . He was the president of Ford Motor Company from 1919 until his death in 1943 . His eldest son was Henry Ford II . He worked closely with his father , as sole heir to the business , but was keen to develop cars more exciting than the Model T ( Tin Lizzie ) , in line with his personal tastes . Even as president , he had trouble persuading his father to allow any departure from this formula . Only a change in market conditions enabled him to develop the more fashionable Model A in 1927 . Edsel also founded the Mercury division and was responsible for the Lincoln Zephyr and Lincoln Continental . He introduced important features , such as hydraulic brakes , and greatly strengthened the company 's overseas production .

Henry Ford ( July 30 , 1863 - April 7 , 1947 ) was an American industrialist and a business magnate , the founder of the Ford Motor Company , and the sponsor of the development of the assembly line technique of mass production . Although Ford did not invent the automobile or the assembly line , he developed and manufactured the first automobile that many middle-class Americans could afford . In doing so , Ford converted the automobile from an expensive curiosity into a practical conveyance that would profoundly impact the landscape of the 20th century . His introduction of the Model T automobile revolutionized transportation and American industry . As the owner of the Ford Motor Company , he became one of the richest and best-known people in the world . He is credited with Fordism : mass production of inexpensive goods coupled with high wages for workers . Ford had a global vision , with consumerism as the key to peace . His intense commitment to systematically lowering costs resulted in many technical and business innovations , including a franchise system that put dealerships throughout most of North America and in major cities on six continents . Ford left most of his vast wealth to the Ford Foundation and arranged for his family to control the company permanently . Ford was also widely known for his pacifism during the first years of World War I , and for promoting antisemitic content , including The Protocols of the Elders of Zion , through his newspaper The Dearborn Independent and the book The International Jew , having an alleged influence on the development of Nazism and Adolf Hitler .

It has a total surface area of about 430 square miles ( 1,100 km2 ) and an average depth of just 11 feet ( 3.4 m ) ; to ensure an uninterrupted waterway , government agencies in both countries have maintained a deep shipping channel through the shallow lake for more than a century .
England is a country that is part of the United Kingdom . It shares land borders with Wales to the west and Scotland to the north . The Irish Sea lies west of England and the Celtic Sea to the southwest . England is separated from continental Europe by the North Sea to the east and the English Channel to the south . The country covers five-eighths of the island of Great Britain , which lies in the North Atlantic , and includes over 100 smaller islands , such as the Isles of Scilly and the Isle of Wight . It is the largest country of British Isles . The area now called England was first inhabited by modern humans during the Upper Palaeolithic period , but takes its name from the Angles , a Germanic tribe deriving its name from the Anglia peninsula , who settled during the 5th and 6th centuries . England became a unified state in the 10th century , and since the Age of Discovery , which began during the 15th century , has had a significant cultural and legal impact on the wider world . The English language , the Anglican Church , and English law - the basis for the common law legal systems of many other countries around the world - developed in England , and the country 's parliamentary system of government has been widely adopted by other nations . The Industrial Revolution began in 18th-century England , transforming its society into the world 's first industrialised nation . England 's terrain is chiefly low hills and plains , especially in central and southern England . However , there is upland and mountainous terrain in the north ( for example , the Lake District and Pennines ) and in the west ( for example , Dartmoor and the Shropshire Hills ) .
The Cotswolds ( /ˈkɒtswoʊldz/ KOTS-wohldz , /-wəldz/ -⁠wəldz ) are an area in south central and south west England comprising the Cotswold Hills , a range of rolling hills that rise from the meadows of the upper Thames to an escarpment , known as the Cotswold Edge , above the Severn Valley and Evesham Vale . The area is defined by the bedrock of Jurassic limestone that creates a type of grassland habitat rare in the UK and that is quarried for the golden-coloured Cotswold stone . It contains unique features derived from the use of this mineral ; the predominantly rural landscape contains stone-built villages , historical towns and stately homes and gardens . Designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty ( AONB ) in 1966 , the Cotswolds covers 787 square miles ( 2,040 km2 ) and is the second largest protected landscape in England ( second to the Lake District ) and the largest AONB . Its boundaries are roughly 25 miles ( 40 km ) across and 90 miles ( 140 km ) long , stretching south-west from just south of Stratford-upon-Avon to just south of Bath . It lies across the boundaries of several English counties ; mainly Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire , and parts of Wiltshire , Somerset , Worcestershire and Warwickshire . The highest point of the region is Cleeve Hill at 1,083 ft ( 330 m ) , just east of Cheltenham . The hills give their name to the Cotswold local-government district , formed on 1 April 1974 , which administers over half of the area . Most of the District is in the county of Gloucestershire ; some 80% of it is within the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty . The main town is Cirencester and the Cotswold District Council offices are located in that community . The population of the 450-square-mile ( 1,200 km2 ) District was about 83,000 in 2011 . The much larger area referred to as the Cotswolds encompasses nearly 800 square miles ( 2,100 km2 ) , over five counties : Gloucestershire , Oxfordshire , Warwickshire , Wiltshire , and Worcestershire .
Jens Jensen ( September 13 , 1860 - October 1 , 1951 ) was a Danish-American landscape architect .

The United States dollar ( sign : $ ; code : USD ; also abbreviated US $ and referred to as the dollar , U.S. dollar , or American dollar ) is the official currency of the United States and its territories per the Coinage Act of 1792 . One dollar is divided into 100 cents ( Symbol : ¢ ) or 1000 mills ( for accounting purposes and for taxing . Symbol : ₥ ) . The Coinage Act of 1792 created a decimal currency by creating the following coins : tenth dollar , one-twentieth dollar , one-hundredth dollar . In addition the act created the dollar , half dollar , and quarter dollar coins . All of these coins are still minted in 2020 . In addition , several forms of paper money were introduced by Congress over the years . The latest of these , the Federal Reserve Note , was authorized by the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 , while all existing U.S. currency remains legal tender . Issuance of the previous form of the currency ( U.S. notes ) was discontinued in January 1971 . As a result , currently circulating paper money consists primarily of Federal Reserve Notes that are denominated in United States dollars ( 12 U.S.C . § 418 ) . Since the suspension in 1971 of convertibility of paper U.S. currency into any precious metal , the U.S. dollar is de facto fiat money .

The American Institute of Architects was founded in New York City in 1857 by a group of 13 architects to promote the scientific and practical perfection of its members and elevate the standing of the profession . This initial group included Charles Babcock , Henry W. Cleaveland , Henry Dudley , Leopold Eidlitz , Edward Gardiner , Richard Morris Hunt , Fred A. Petersen , Jacob Wrey Mould , John Welch , Richard M. Upjohn and Joseph C. Wells , with Richard Upjohn serving as the first president . They met on February 23 , 1857 , and decided to invite 16 other prominent architects to join them , including Alexander Jackson Davis , Thomas U. Walter , and Calvert Vaux . Prior to their establishment of the AIA , anyone could claim to be an architect , as there were no schools of architecture or architectural licensing laws in the United States . They drafted a constitution and bylaws by March 10 , 1857 , under the name New York Society of Architects . Thomas U. Walter , of Philadelphia , later suggested the name be changed to American Institute of Architects . The members signed the new constitution on April 15 , 1857 , having filed a certificate of incorporation two days earlier . The constitution was amended the following year with the mission to promote the artistic , scientific , and practical profession of its members ; to facilitate their intercourse and good fellowship ; to elevate the standing of the profession ; and to combine the efforts of those engaged in the practice of Architecture , for the general advancement of the Art . Architects in other cities were asking to join in the 1860s , by the 1880s chapters had been formed in Albany , Baltimore , Boston , Chicago , Cincinnati , Indianapolis , Philadelphia , Rhode Island , San Francisco , St. Louis , and Washington , D.C. As of 2008 , AIA had more than 300 chapters . The AIA is headquartered at 1735 New York Avenue , NW in Washington , D.C. A design competition was held in the mid-1960s to select an architect for a new AIA headquarters in Washington . Mitchell/Giurgola won the design competition but failed to get approval of the design concept from the United States Commission of Fine Arts . The firm resigned the commission and helped select The Architects Collaborative ( TAC ) to redesign the building .

He developed many devices in fields such as electric power generation , mass communication , sound recording , and motion pictures . These inventions , which include the phonograph , the motion picture camera , and the long-lasting , practical electric light bulb , have had a widespread impact on the modern industrialized world . He was one of the first inventors to apply the principles of organized science and teamwork to the process of invention , working with many researchers and employees . He established the first industrial research laboratory . Edison was raised in the American Midwest ; early in his career he worked as a telegraph operator , which inspired some of his earliest inventions . In 1876 , he established his first laboratory facility in Menlo Park , New Jersey , where many of his early inventions were developed . He later established a botanic laboratory in Fort Myers , Florida in collaboration with businessmen Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone , and a laboratory in West Orange , New Jersey that featured the world 's first film studio , the Black Maria .

The Holcombe Site , also known as Holcombe Beach , is a Paleo-Indian archaeological site located near the intersection of Metropolitan Parkway and Dodge Park Road in Sterling Heights , Michigan , United States . It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971 and designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1970 .
Paleo-Indians , Paleoindians or Paleoamericans , were the first peoples who entered , and subsequently inhabited , the Americas during the final glacial episodes of the late Pleistocene period . The prefix paleo- comes from the Greek adjective palaios ( παλαιός ) , meaning old or ancient . The term Paleo-Indians applies specifically to the lithic period in the Western Hemisphere and is distinct from the term Paleolithic . Traditional theories suggest that big-animal hunters crossed the Bering Strait from North Asia into the Americas over a land-and-ice bridge ( Beringia ) . This bridge existed from 45,000 to 12,000 BCE ( 47,000-14,000 BP ) . Small isolated groups of hunter-gatherers migrated alongside herds of large herbivores far into Alaska . From c. 16,500 - c. 13,500 BCE ( c. 18,500 - c. 15,500 BP ) , ice-free corridors developed along the Pacific coast and valleys of North America . This allowed animals , followed by humans , to migrate south into the interior of the continent . The people went on foot or used primitive boats along the coastline . The precise dates and routes of the peopling of the New World remain subjects of ongoing debate . At least two morphologically different Paleo-Indian populations were coexisting in different geographical areas of Mexico 10,000 years ago . Stone tools , particularly projectile points and scrapers , are the primary evidence of the earliest human activity in the Americas .
A high water mark is a point that represents the maximum rise of a body of water over land . Such a mark is often the result of a flood , but high water marks may reflect an all-time high , an annual high ( highest level to which water rose that year ) or the high point for some other division of time . Knowledge of the high water mark for an area is useful in managing the development of that area , particularly in making preparations for flood surges . High water marks from floods have been measured for planning purposes since at least as far back as the civilizations of ancient Egypt . It is a common practice to create a physical marker indicating one or more of the highest water marks for an area , usually with a line at the level to which the water rose , and a notation of the date on which this high water mark was set . This may be a free-standing flood level sign or other marker , or it may be affixed to a building or other structure that was standing at the time of the flood that set the mark . A high water mark is not necessarily an actual physical mark , but it is possible for water rising to a high point to leave a lasting physical impression such as floodwater staining . A landscape marking left by the high water mark of ordinary tidal action may be called a strandline and is typically composed of debris left by high tide . The area at the top of a beach where debris is deposited is an example of this phenomenon . Where there are tides , this line is formed by the highest position of the tide , and moves up and down the beach on a fortnightly cycle . The debris is chiefly composed of rotting seaweed , but can also include a large amount of litter , either from ships at sea or from sewage outflows .
Lake Algonquin was a proglacial lake that existed in east-central North America at the time of the last ice age . Parts of the former lake are now Lake Huron , Georgian Bay , Lake Superior , Lake Michigan , and Lake Nipissing . The lake varied in size , but it was at its biggest during the post-glacial period and gradually shrunk to the current Lake Huron and Georgian Bay . About 7,000 years ago , the lake was replaced by Lake Chippewa and Lake Stanley as the glaciers retreated and 3,000 years later by the current Lakes Michigan , Huron , and Superior .
The barren-ground caribou ( Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus ) is a subspecies of the reindeer ( or the caribou in North America ) that is found mainly in the Canadian territories of Nunavut and the Northwest Territories , as well as in Kitaa , Greenland . It sometimes includes the similar-looking Porcupine caribou , in which case the barren-ground caribou is also found in Alaska . The barren-ground caribou is a medium-sized caribou , smaller and lighter-coloured than the boreal woodland caribou , with the females weighing around 90 kg ( 200 lb ) and the males around 150 kg ( 330 lb ) . However , on some of the smaller islands , the average weight may be less . The large migratory herds of barren-ground caribou take their names from the traditional calving grounds , such as the Ahiak herd , the Baffin Island herds , the Bathurst herd , the Beverly herd ( Beverly Lake in western Nunavut ) , the Bluenose East herd ( southwest of Kugluktuk ) , the Bluenose West herd , the Porcupine herd and the Qamanirjuaq herd .

Gothic Revival ( also referred to as Victorian Gothic , neo-Gothic , or Gothick ) is an architectural movement popular in the Western world that began in the late 1740s in England . Its momentum grew in the early 19th century , when increasingly serious and learned admirers of neo-Gothic styles sought to revive medieval Gothic architecture , in contrast to the neoclassical styles prevalent at the time . Gothic Revival draws features from the original Gothic style , including decorative patterns , finials , lancet windows , hood moulds and label stops . The Gothic Revival movement emerged in 18th-century England , gaining ground in the 19th . Its roots were intertwined with deeply philosophical movements associated with Catholicism and a re-awakening of high church or Anglo-Catholic belief concerned by the growth of religious nonconformism . Ultimately , the Anglo-Catholicism tradition of religious belief and style became known for its intrinsic appeal in the third quarter of the 19th century . Gothic Revival architecture varied considerably in its faithfulness to both the ornamental style and principles of construction of its medieval original , sometimes amounting to little more than pointed window frames and a few touches of Gothic decoration on a building otherwise on a wholly 19th-century plan and using contemporary materials and construction methods . In parallel to the ascendancy of neo-Gothic styles in 19th-century England , interest spread to the rest of Europe , Australia , Sierra Leone , South Africa and to the Americas ; the 19th and early 20th centuries saw the construction of very large numbers of Gothic Revival and Carpenter Gothic structures worldwide . The influence of Revivalism had nevertheless peaked by the 1870s . New architectural movements , sometimes related as in the Arts and Crafts movement , and sometimes in outright opposition , such as Modernism , gained ground , and by the 1930s the architecture of the Victorian era was generally condemned or ignored . The later 20th century saw a revival of interest , manifested in the United Kingdom by the establishment of the Victorian Society in 1958 .
