 | Avery Island.
When is an island not an island? Avery Island is actually a geological formation known as a "salt dome". It stand above the surrounding area which is all wetlands. At it's highest point it is 163 feet above sea level. This makes it the highest point on the Gulf Coast. The original French explorers called it "Ile Petite Anse" or Little Cove Island.
The first family to settle there was the Marsh family who grew sugar cane there. Their land eventually came under the control of Daniel Dudley Avery and his wife Sarah Craig (Marsh) Avery. In the late 1800's the land would be renamed Avery Island in honor of Daniel Dudley Avery.

 | Bank of Washtenaw.
In the 1830's the economy of the territory of Michigan was flying high due to largely to the sale of land. In 1835 a group of men got together and formed the Bank of Washtenaw in Ann Arbor. Unfortunately in 1836 the United States banking system collapsed causing a panic. The underfunded bank shut down as faster than it went up. The building stood empty for almost a decade before it was converted to a private residence. Today it still stands and is used as commercial property. |

 | Baptist Church, Fisk Hill
Baptist Church, Fisk Hill - An illustration of the church on Fiske Hill, Sturbridge, Mass., is given with a Plan of the pews as remembered by Mr. Manning Leonard. The building was raised June 3. 1784. Hon. George Davis in his Historical Sketch of Sturbridge" says: "On the southern declivity of this elevation was situated the neat and comfortable Baptist Church. Here those families (the Fiskes) with others of that denomination, in various parts of the town, worshiped more than half a century. The Rev. Zenas L. Leonard was the watchman on this watchtower. Mr. Leonard was in season and out of season in his devotion to the spiritual interests of his charge." In 1833, a new church was erected, nearer the center of the town and this building was subsequently demolished. The artist is somewhat inaccurate in the representation of the vestibule doors of which there were three, one in front and the others on each side, and next to the main building. From the vestibule two winding flights of stairs led to the broad gallery which extended around three sides of the audience room. The pew marked " Dea. INoyes." should be Dea. Lyon.
