Context: Christian Science Society, also called the Christian Science Society Building, is an historic single storey style Christian Science church edifice located at 20 Chapel Street in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada.  It was built between 1900 and 1910 as a single-family house and was known as the McDonald Property.  In 1932 it was converted to church use by being placed on a concrete foundation and having its exterior stuccoed while the interior was gutted and remodeled for its new use.  Citing the building as a "good example of early adaptive re-use" and '"very good example of Classical Period Revival architecture", albeit "a very modest rendition of the style", the city designated it a local heritage site on October 7, 2002. The 83 counties of the U.S. state of Michigan are divided into the 1,529 county subdivisions listed below.  Of these, 1242 are townships and 283 are incorporated places such as cities or villages.  These distinctions are based on United States Census Bureau terminology.  The demographic statistics for each county are subdivided into constituent parts.  Several cities appear on the list twice because the city incorporates land in more than one county (this explains why there are 1529 items on the list while 1242 + 283 = 1525 discrete entities).  Also note that this Census Bureau use of the term "county subdivision" is distinct from the Bureau's use of the term "Minor Civil Division" (MCD).  An MCD is an organized form of government, in Michigan corresponding to townships.  All MCDs are also county subdivisions, but not all county subdivisions are MCDs. The Commonwealth of Virginia is divided into 95 counties and 38 independent cities, which are considered county-equivalents for census purposes.  All counties, with the exception of Arlington County, are further subdivided into magisterial districts.  Magisterial districts are defined by the United States Census Bureau as a minor civil division that is a nonfunctioning subdivision used in conducting elections or recording land ownership, and are not governments.  These districts are unique to counties only and do not exist in Virginia's 38 independent cities.  The only other state to use magisterial districts outside Virginia is West Virginia. The Forks is a plantation in Somerset County, Maine, United States.  The population was 35 at the 2000 census. East Rosiclare Precinct is a former minor civil division which was located in Hardin County, Illinois, USA.  As of the 2000 census, its population was 823.  It was replaced by Rosiclare Precinct in 2007. Shannen W. Coffin (born September 19, 1969) is an attorney for the Washington, D.C. law firm Steptoe & Johnson LLP who until early November 2007 served as general counsel to American Vice President Dick Cheney.  Coffin was previously at the Department of Justice, where he served as a Deputy Assistant Attorney General of the Civil Division.  In that position, Coffin was responsible for oversight of the Federal Programs Branch, a component of the Civil Division that defends the federal government in a diverse array of lawsuits, including the defense of constitutional challenges to federal statutes and agency programs, civil anti-terrorism litigation, and disputes involving access to Executive Branch information. In the U.S. state of Maine a plantation is a type of minor civil division falling between township (or unorganized territory) and town.  The term, as used in this sense in modern times, appears to be exclusive to Maine.  Plantations are typically found in sparsely populated areas. West Rosiclare Precinct is a former minor civil division which was located in Hardin County, Illinois, USA.  As of the 2000 census, its population was 460.  It was replaced by Rosiclare Precinct in 2007. A minor civil division (MCD) is a term used by the United States Census Bureau for primary governmental and/or administrative divisions of a county, such as a civil township, precinct, or magisterial district.  As of 2010, MCDs exist in 29 states and the District of Columbia.  In New York and New England, they are towns. Northome is an unorganized territory in Koochiching County, Minnesota, United States.  The term "unorganized territory" is used by the United States Census Bureau to designate a portion of a county that is not included in any legally established minor civil division for the purpose of presenting statistical data.  The population was 496 at the 2000 census.
