Saltaire
Saltaire in West Yorkshire is a well-preserved industrial village from the second half of the 19th century. The architectural style of the textile factories, public buildings and workers' housing is harmonious and unified, the construction standards are high, and the urban planning is well preserved, leaving a vivid impression of the philanthropic paternalism of the Victorian era.
Monumental Earthworks of Poverty Point
The Poverty Point Monumental Works are named for the 19th-century plantation adjacent to the site, which is located on slightly elevated, narrow terrain in the lower Mississippi River valley. The complex consists of five mounds, six concentric semi-elliptical ridges separated by shallow depressions, and a central plaza. It was built by a group of hunter-gatherers for residential and ceremonial purposes between 3,700 and 3,100 years ago. It is a remarkable achievement in North American earthen architecture, unmatched for at least 2,000 years.
