Alki Point, WA
Point Alki was of obvious importance to shipping, however, both as a day mark showing the way to Seattle and a threat in fog and at night. Even so, no light was displayed here until the 1880s, when landowner Hans Martin Hanson hung up a small lantern as a humanitarian gesture. In 1887 the U.S. Lighthouse Service improved the light, installing a small lantern and lens

Banbury Cross
Of the three, the High Cross and was regarded as one of the chief architectural features of the town at that time. At the end of the 16th Century, Banbury acquired a reputation for Puritanism.

By 1621 all three crosses had disappeared.

Bank-village
This model was the third Fiddlers Green model and is a model that I've been meaning to 'up-date' for years. We're sold out of the hardcopy now and, surprisingly, over the years it's always been one of our best sellers.

Bank-western
A cute little bank to go with the western town layout. The money in this bank is currently measured in negative numbers (due to credit default swaps) but the bank owns quite a few ranches it foreclosed on over the past few years.

Barn-Equipment
The New England Barn met the needs of the general family farm. Horses, a herd of milk cows, and some feed cattle, made the barn the center of activity.

This beautiful house, once featured in Better Homes & Gardens, stands proudly off the Village Green in Monroe, Ct

Barn-Livestock
The livestock barn is still seen on most farms. Upstairs, the loft was used for winter hay storage and with access doors at each end, went far to keep the downstairs cool in the summer. The cupola up on the roof always kept the air fresh and circulating. As you travel along the highways in the east, look hard and you'll still see old and peeling 'Mail Pouch' advertisements on some lucky barns. This one has an off-shoot for the small heard of milking cows. The main area is for equipment.

Cape Hatteras
The southern coast, especially from Cape Hatteras southward, had a navigational problem peculiar to it: namely, the Gulf Stream. Coming out of the Caribbean, the stream rounds the end of Florida and courses northward to the vicinity of Cape Hatteras in North Carolina. The sound of ocean waves, the starry night sky, or the calm of the salt marshes, you can experience it all. Shaped by the forces of water, wind, and storms these islands are ever changing. The plants, wildlife, and people who live here adapt continually. Whether you are walking on the beach, kayaking on the sound, or climbing the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse there is something for everyone to explore!

Cape Meares Lighthouse was built in 1890 on the outer edge of a high, bold headland just south of Tillamook Bay.

Easily seen from the sea, the outer point is below the fog line making the light visable during conditions when it's most needed.

This little gem lives on Nantucket, MA, overlooking the beautiful harbor.

Destruction-Island WA
During the eighteenth century an Indian war party killed several seamen who had gone ashore here to fill casks with fresh water. Afterward, this wilderness landfall would always be known as Destruction Island, and the name proved an apt one.

Half Timber House
Probably the most charming thing about England (my Brit friends will laugh), are the wonderful flower gardens and these half timber houses.

Irish Round Tower
Irish round towers are early medieval stone towers of a type found mainly in Ireland, with two in Scotland and one on the Isle of Man. Though there is no certain agreement as to their purpose, it is thought they were principally bell towers, places of refuge, or a combination of these. Generally found in the vicinity of a church or monastery, the door of the tower faces the west doorway of the church. In this way it has been possible to determine without excavation the approximate site of lost churches, where the tower still exists.

Motif #1 Fishing Shack
Battered and broken by the great winter storm of 1978, Motif No.1 collapsed, and in an eye blink, was swept out of Rockport harbor. Within the year, a duplicate had been built and repainted to look as good as new. The merited debate over rebuilding the motif has subsided through the 20 some years.

Norman Castle
The Normans were the people who gave their name to Normandy, a region in northern France. They descended from Viking conquerors of the territory and the native population of mostly Frankish and Gallo-Roman stock. Their identity emerged initially in the first half of the tenth century, and gradually evolved over succeeding centuries until they disappeared as an ethnic group in the early thirteenth century. The name "Normans" derives from "Northmen" or "Norsemen", after the Vikings from Scandinavia who founded Normandy.

Plymouth, MA
Plymouth Lighthouse, Plymouth Mass, or Gurnet Point, lighthouse, situated on the north side of the entrance to Plymouth Bay, easily survived the Revolution and apparently performed its job throughout that conflict, despite having been near the scene of a battle between a nearby fort and a British frigate and having been struck by a stray cannon ball. The state repaired the war damage in 1783, and in 1790 turned the light station over to the central government.

Point Wilson, WA
Persistent fogginess and frequent tide rips across the broad sweep of shoals surrounding Point Wilson make it wise for mariners to give this area a wide berth. The broad sandy spit separates the Strait of Juan de Fuca from the entrance to Admiralty Inlet and is a pivotal spot for vessels passing from one to the other. This is where the lighthouse was positioned in 1879.

Stonington, CT
The Stonington lighthouse was once the beacon for the many vessels approaching Stonington's harbor from Long Island Sound. The original 30-foot stone tower, which was built on the Point in 1823, supported a lantern containing ten oil lamps and parabolic reflectors. Its beacon was visible 12 miles at sea.
During the next few years, however, storms and shore erosion took their toll on the exposed site. In 1840 the structure was dismantled and the the outer end of a new west breakwater protecting the harbor entrance.
