The interior of a pigeon tower (Iran).

In 16th and 17th century Iran, domesticated pigeons were a valuable resource.
Due to the lack of grasslands, in the desert areas it was impossible to produce fertilizers for agriculture.
Rich in nitrogen, pigeon guano was used across Iran as a natural fertilizer for fields.
To gather this precious resource, homes were built for the pigeons.
Often over six stories high and 45 to 75 feet in diameter, these towering structures were filled with a honeycomb of small roosts for the pigeons. Each tower held as many as 14,000 pigeons.
The towers are also an unique example of architectural style.
Over the years these buildings became more advanced and pigeons became the most popular species for this purpose.
Aside from the primary use of these towers, they also provided feather, meat and eggs.
Today, due to the use of artificial fertilizer, only a few hundred pigeon towers remain operational.

Henry House is on the 1st Bull Run Battlefield outside Manassas, Virginia.

Spring Hill Farm/Henry House - now simply known as Henry Hill - lay fallow and overgrown in the summer of 1861. A small vegetable garden and orchard surrounded the frame house. Inside the home, 84-year old Judith Henry remained bedridden, too old to work the land that had been in her family for more than a century. She shared the home with her daughter Ellen. A hired teenage slave, Lucy Griffith, assisted with domestic chores.

The Battle of Bull Run culminated on the Henry property. Unaware of civilians inside the home, Federal artillery fired on the dwelling to drive away Confederate sharpshooters. The cannon fire crashed through the house, mortally wounding the widow Henry, the battle's only known civilian fatality. By day's end the family matriarch was dead, the house in ruin, and the surrounding landscape forever redefined by the events of July 21, 1861.

Following the war, the Henry family constructed a new home near the site of the original war-time structure. Built in 1870, with an 1884 addition, the current structure remained in the Henry family until the early 1920s. The house subsequently served as the first museum and visitor center at Manassas Battlefield.

The Stone House was built as a stop on the Fauquier and Alexandria Turnpike in 1848 and fate would make it part of American History. During the first Battle of Manassas it would be controlled by both Union and Confederate forces as it sits just south of Henry Hill. It also served as a hospital however constant fire from the surrounding battle made that difficult. During the Second Battle of Manassas it would serve mainly as a hospital however was still exposed to some fighting.

After the war the property would change hands a number of times, today it is owned by the National Park Service and open to the public.
