Temple Mound at Crystal River State Archaeological Park
Persons in authority like to establish or place themselves above the general population to reinforce their status. Temple mounds in prehistory are believed to have been built for that purpose. Just as in today's society - the higher up you go - the more powerful you appear to those in the community. The largest/highest platform (Temple) mound was built sometime after 600 AD. Today, only about 1/4 to 1/3 of the original mound remains.
This is at Crystal River State Archaeological Park and you can find out more about this place at:

Traditionally, banks and other financial institutions sell their own products. However, competitive mortgage have made the role of the mortgage broker more popular. In well developed mortgage markets, mortgage brokers are the largest sellers of mortgage financial products for lenders. A mortgage broker acts as an conduit who brokers or helps clients qualify for mortgage loan products on behalf of individuals or businesses.
The role of the Mortgage functions to find a bank or a direct lender that an individual seeks with a specific loan product that the individual is seeking.
Mortgage Brokers in the United States are regulated to ensure compliance with banking and or finance laws in the jurisdiction of the consumer through the National Mortgage Licensing System (NMLS).
The major difference between a mortgage broker and a loan officer is that a mortgage broker works as an intermediary between the buyer and the lender, whereas the loan officer typically works directly for the lender.

Micanopy Florida
In 1539 Spanish conquistador and explorer Hernando De Soto noted a Timucuan Indian village at the site of present-day Micanopy. Over two hundred years later, the American naturalist William Bartram recorded his impressions of a proto-Seminole village named Cuscowilla in this same locale.
By the time Spain ceded its Florida provinces to the U.S. in 1821, the newly constructed hamlet of Micanopy became the first distinct United States town in the Florida Territory. One of the founders was Moses Elias Levy, a wealthy businessman and philanthropist who was involved in West Indies shipping and other interests. He came to the United States in 1820.[4]
Named after a Seminole chief, the village of Micanopy was built under the auspices of the Florida Association of New York (the earliest Florida development corporation, headquartered in Manhattan).[5] Chief Micanopy lived about 60 miles (97 km) south in present-day Sumter County. In 1821 when the territorial village was developed, a faction of Miccosukee Indians lived in the immediate area. The historian C. S. Monaco has suggested that the town was named after Micanopy to appease the chief and acknowledge his original authority over the land.[6]
Both Fort Defiance (1835–1836) and Fort Micanopy (1837–1843) were located here during the Second Seminole War. Some of the bloodiest battles of that war took place along the road southwest from Fort Micanopy to Fort Wacahoota, just inside modern Alachua County. A recent archaeological study has verified both forts as well as the location of two battlefields within the town limits: the Battle of Micanopy and the Battle of Welika Pond (1836).
Micanopy's historic district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. The home of Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, where she wrote The Yearling and Cross Creek, is in nearby Cross Creek. The house is now a museum.
For an article on Micanopy from the Florida Historical Society see:
Micanopy is located at 29°30′23″N 82°16′55″W.[7]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 1.1 square miles (2.8 km2). 1.0 square mile (2.6 km2) of it is land and 0.1 square miles (0.26 km2) of it (4.63%) is water.

Old Kansas Mansions - Hatteberg's People TV
In Abilene, Kansas the Seelye Mansion stands as a monument to a time gone by. It was built by a doctor whose patent medicine business was successful in the early part of the 20th century, but it didn't stand the test of time.
His daughters, the Seelye Sisters, lived in the Mansion until their deaths. Now, the mansion is open to the public and those who love this place like Dorothy Snider are more happy to show it off.
