The boundary markers of the original District of Columbia are the 40 milestones that marked the four lines forming the boundaries between the states of Maryland and Virginia and the square of 100 square miles (259 km2) of federal territory that became the District of Columbia in 1801. Working under the supervision of three commissioners that President George Washington had appointed in 1790 in accordance with the federal Residence Act, a surveying team that Major Andrew Ellicott led placed these markers in 1791 and 1792.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Bridge Mill Power Plant</span> United States historic place

The Bridge Mill Power Plant is an historic hydroelectric plant at 25 Roosevelt Avenue in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. It is a red brick building, with sections two and three stories in height, located on the west bank of the Seekonk River. An ashlar granite retaining wall obscures a conduit which delivers water to the facility from the Pawtucket Falls Dam. The facility has three parts: a gate house, which controls the flow of water into the power house, where five turbines were located. A boiler house housed a steam generation facility which was used to generate power when the water levels were too low for hydroelectric power generation. Built in 1893, this is probably the best-preserved 19th-century hydroelectric power station in Rhode Island.

Power Plant and Dam No. 4 is a historic hydroelectric power generation station on the Potomac River, located near Shepherdstown on the county line between Berkeley and Jefferson County, West Virginia. The power plant is a tall one-story, limestone building on a high stone foundation. It is five bays long and has a gable roof. Dam 4 uses horizontal shaft turbines connected by rope drives to horizontal shaft generators. This plant is probably the last commercially operated rope-driven hydroelectric plant in the United States. The building is built into a hillside, so the main floor is the top floor. The power plant was originally built by the Martinsburg Electric Company.
