<p>The Bedford Veterans Affairs Medical Center, also known as the Edith Nourse Rogers Memorial Veterans Hospital, is a medical facility of the United States Department of Veterans Affairs  at 200 Springs Road in Bedford, Massachusetts. Its campus once consisted of about 276 acre of land, which had by 2012 been reduced to 179 acre. The hospital was opened in 1928 to treat neuropsychiatric patients, but now provides a wider array of medical services. Through the efforts of Congresswoman Edith Nourse Rogers, the center was expanded to offer services to women in 1947; her role led to the center being renamed in her honor by President Jimmy Carter.</p><br>
<p>The focal point of the complex is its Main Building, a three story brick Classical Revival building that was built in 1928, and is still used as a medical care facility. South of this is the Administration building, also built in 1928. West of that is the former Kitchen and Dining Hall of 1928, which now houses offices and storage space. To its west is the 1929 Acute Care Building, now known as the Nursing Home Care Unit. Other buildings of the complex are located primarily north and south of this grouping, and are smaller in scale.</p><br>
<p>In 2012, 177 acres of the remaining campus were listed as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places. The district includes the main hospital buildings, as well as residential housing, utility and maintenance buildings, most of which were built no later than 1947, and some of which date to 1928, the earliest period of the facility&#39;s construction. It is an excellent example of an intact Period 2 neuropsychiatric VA hospital.</p><br>
<p>The Farley-Hutchinson-Kimball House is a historic house and barn at 461A and 463 North Road in Bedford, Massachusetts. The property consists of a house whose oldest portions date to c. 1732, and an attached barn from the late 19th century that has been converted to residential use. The buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.</p><br>
<p>The main block of the house, a 2.5 story five bay timber frame structure, was probably built c. 1732 by Christopher Page, for his daughter Joanna and son-in-law Benjamin Farley. The property Page subdivided to make the gift already had a house on it; this building is surmised to be a new one built between 1728 and 1732. The Farleys did not stay long in the house, moving to Dunstable, Massachusetts (a part that is now Hollis, New Hampshire) in 1733, selling their farmstead to Benjamin Hutchinson. In the 19th century it passed through several hands, until it was purchased in 1911 by Charles and Edith Kimball, who established a poultry farm on the premises. In 1913 the Kimballs embarked on a major renovation and expansion project, giving the house its Colonial Revival character.</p><br>
<p>From about 1920 into the 1930s the Kimballs also made and sold candy on the premises, adapting the 19th century barn for the purpose of making and selling candy. In 1946 the Kimballs converted to barn to two residential apartments. The only major later addition to the property was a c. 1979 kitchen addition to the house, which was executed in a historically sensitive way.</p><br>
<p>The Sylvester Millard House is a historic log house in Highland Park, Illinois, United States. Built in 1893 for a Chicago lawyer, the house was designed by William W. Boyington and remained in the family until the 1990s.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Sylvester M. Millard was raised on his fathers farm in Michigan. With little previous schooling, he attended a boarding school in Lansing and the enrolled at the Agricultural College. He graduated in 1864 and moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin to study law under Butler & Cottrell. He was admitted to the bar in 1867 and moved to Chicago, Illinois the next year. He became one of the citys most prominent lawyers, focusing on chancery litigation and sounseling.</p><br>
<p>In 1878, Millard moved to Highland Park on Chicago&#39;s North Shore. He was elected alderman of the city the next year, serving until 1891. Illinois Governor Shelby Moore Cullom appointed Millard a trustee of the Illinois Industrial University, where he served for twelve years including a six-year stint as President of the Board. From 1885 to 1891, he served on the Highland Park Board of Trustees. He was a longtime member of the Union League of Chicago and the Chicago Bar Association. In 1893, Millard commissioned prominent architect William W. Boyington to design him a home that resembled a log cabin. The Millard house, which Millard called "Ravine Lodge" but which later became known as "The Log House," was built with elm logs and remained in the family for about 100 years. Millard died at the Lake Geneva Sanitarium on December 1, 1905 after a three-year illness. On September 29, 1982, the house was recognized by the National Park Service with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places. It was listed as part of the Highland Park Multiple Resource Area.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Millard house was the first on Highland Parks east side. Its address was initially on Sycamore Lane, but in the early 20th century its driveway was rerouted and named Sylvester Place, and eventually Sylvester Place was made a public road. The Log House was originally a summer home with many screened porches, but over the years the porches were enclosed and removed to create a year-round residence. A housekeepers wing was added in 1918. An open porch on the south side of the first floor was enclosed in 1929 to create an enlarged dining area. Second-story porches were removed in 1949 to open up the first-floor porch on the east side, and windows were added to the second story at that time to bring in more light. The house was damaged in a 1977 attic fire but the top floor was rebuilt with only minor modifications. After the Millard family sold the Log House in 1998, extensive remodeling was undertaken including the addition of a massive stone stairway on the west side.</p><br>
<p>The Log House property originally encompassed 11 acres including a beach and adjacent bluff on Lake Michigan, but over the years most of the land was subdivided and sold. In the 1970s, the bluff and beach were acquired by the Highland Park Park District and were combined with the Shaffner property to create Millard Park.</p><br>
<p>The Bergkopf is an 857 metre high, thickly forested mountain in the Sparneck Forest in Germany&#39;s Fichtel Mountains.</p><br>
<p>It lies in the northern chain of the Fichtel Mountain Horseshoe, near the crest of the Großer Waldstein. On its northern slopes is the granite rock formation of Kleiner Waldstein, and, further north towards Sparneck, the source of the Förmitz river. To the northeast lies the granite mountain of Hoher Stein and, on its slopes, is the source of the Lamitz. To the southwest towards Weißenstadt, a monument commemorates the forester, Johann Braun, who died at that spot on 12 July 1881.</p><br>

<p>The Church of St Philip and St James in Norton St Philip within the English county of Somerset is a Grade II* listed building.</p><br>
<p>The parish is part of the Hardington Vale benefice within the archdeaconry of Wells.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The current building has elements dating back from the 13th and 14th centuries, however it is likely there was a church on the site before the Norman Conquest.</p><br>
<p>In 1345 the fair which had been granted to Hinton Priory was transferred to Norton St Philip which provided much of the income for the church.</p><br>
<p>Samuel Pepys visited the church in the 17th century and described the tomb of one of the Knights Templar which is now thought to be that of a lawyer or merchant from 1460. He also described the story of the "Fair Maids of Foscott", believed to be conjoined twins from a local village now known as Foxcote.</p><br>
<p>The north aisle was probably added in the 17th century.</p><br>
<p>A major Victorian restoration was undertaken by George Gilbert Scott in the 1840s. In 2000 further restoration work was undertaken with new wood and steel vestry, toilets and meeting facilities being installed. As a result of this work, known as "The Hub", and the services it provides to the community, the church was awarded the Village Church for Village Life Award in 2008.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The building is made of rubble Doulting Stone which is rough in some areas with more finely dressed ashlar to the south and east sides, which was probably added during 19th century renovation. It has a slate roof above an oak barrel roof and a three-stage west tower.</p><br>
<p>The tower has a clock by Benjamin Lewis Vulliamy and Charles Frodsham dating from 1841, and six bells.</p><br>
<p>The east window has stained glass by Christopher Webb. In other windows there is much older glass.</p><br>
<p>The memorials in the church include one to a soldier slain in Norton St Philip in 1643 during the English Civil War. There were further military casualties in the village during a skirmish in the Monmouth Rebellion.</p><br>
<p>The Two Brothers Rocks–Dudley Road Historic District encompasses a historically significant rural area of Bedford and Billerica, Massachusetts. The district covers 230 acre of predominantly rural and residential property, along Dudley Street, a narrow, winding road that was laid out in colonial days. It also includes a significant amount of conservation land, including local, state, and federal lands. The federal lands of the Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge which line the banks of the Concord River, include the "Two Brothers Rocks", which were used to mark a land boundary between grants given to early Massachusetts settlers John Winthrop and Thomas Dudley, and which featured as boundary markers into the 20th century.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010. The Two Brothers Rocks are accessible either via watercraft on the Concord River, or by trails through Bedford&#39;s Altmann Conservation Area.</p><br>
<p>The Church of St John the Baptist in Northend, Batheaston within the English county of Somerset was built in the 12th century and remodelled in the 15th. It is a Grade II* listed building.</p><br>
<p>The parish of Batheaston St John the Baptist with St Catherine, which includes the Church of St Catherine, St Catherine, is within the archeadconry of Bath.</p><br>
<p>The west tower has four stages with a pierced embattled parapet, setback buttresses, projecting octagonal stairs, and a turret at the south-east corner which terminates in spirelet. It was built around 1460, and was rebuilt in 1834 by John Pinch the younger, of Bath. It has pointed perpendicular two-light windows with cusped heads. The east side also has a canopied niche containing a figure, probably of St John.</p><br>
<p>The tower holds a peal of eight bells.</p><br>
<p>In the churchyard are several chest tombs which are also listed buildings.</p><br>
<p>The old Groton High School is a historic school building at 145 ain Street in Groton, Massachusetts. It has also variously been known as the Prescott School, Groton Junior High School, and Butler School. The building is two stories, with a flat roof. It is divided into four sections: a central portion that protrudes slightly from the main facade, which is topped by a pedimented gable, two wings that flank the central portion, and a rear section behind the central building. Because the building sits on a sloping lot, the rear section is actually three full stories; its ground floor section is made of concrete, while the rest of the building is predominantly made of brick, laid in a variation of an English cross bond pattern. The central portion was built in 1871 to a design by Henry M. Francis, originally with Second Empire styling, and named the Butler School in honor of a long-serving town clerk, Caleb Butler. The school served all grades until 1915.</p><br>
<p>In the late 1920s the building was extensively altered, adding the three wings, and removing the third floor of the original building, which had been damaged by fire in 1925. Exterior changes also gave the building its present Colonial Revival appearance. Despite significant alterations in use to accommodate different grades over the years, the building&#39;s interior also remained remarkably intact. In 1975, the town joined with neighboring Dunstable, and its high school students were relocated to the Groton-Dunstable Regional High School. This building was renamed the Colonel William Prescott School, and house lower grades until it was closed in 2008.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<p>Hezekiah Alexander House in Charlotte, North Carolina, built in 1774, is the oldest house in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. It was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.</p><br>
<p>Hezekiah Alexander (1722–1801) bought more than 300 acres on Sugar Creek in 1767. He built a house for his family in 1774, and while he worked as a blacksmith and later a farmer, he served in the Fifth Provincial Congress which wrote North Carolina&#39;s first constitution, and as a trustee of Queens College (which should not be confused with the present-day Queens University of Charlotte.)</p><br>
<p>The stone house has a style typical of those built by Germans who settled in Pennsylvania and by the Dutch in the Hudson Valley. Germans who moved south to North Carolina also built houses of this type. The Alexander House is one of the few examples of this architecture still in existence.</p><br>
<p>In 1943, Eugene M. Cole donated what was called Rock House Place and its 180-acre farm to the Western North Carolina Annual Conference of the Methodist Church for a planned retirement community which became known as The Methodist Home. In 1949, the Daughters of the American Revolution leased the house from The Methodist Home. The house was restored and a committee of DAR chapters let people tour the property. In 1969, the Hezekiah Alexander Home Foundation was formed, eventually raising $200,000 for restoration. However, the foundation could not complete the nearby reception center on its own.</p><br>
<p>In 1975, the Charlotte city council put the home under the Mint Museum. The home site was called Mint Museum of History until November 1985, when the Mint Museum finished work on expansion that would allow all operations to move to Randolph Road. On October 13, 1986, the Mint Museum voted to go along with the city councils plan to move the museum to the citys parks and recreation department. This resulted from complaints that the Mint Museum lacked interest in history, but the change also would allow the Mint Museum to focus on fine arts rather than history.</p><br>
<p>The foundation took over administration of the house and museum in 1990. The city required that $2 million be raised, and the foundation exceeded that amount by more than $1 million.</p><br>
<p>Late in 1993, the Charlotte History Museum moved its archives and a 5000-piece historical collection, divided among many locations, into a 1500-square-foot addition to its 5000-square-foot building.</p><br>
<p>In 1996, the foundation began work on a 36,000-square-foot building. With $7 million raised, the building officially opened October 24, 1999. In 2002, the foundation changed its name to Charlotte Museum of History, Inc.</p><br>
<p>In 2013, the Charlotte Museum of History moved most of its operations to Levine Museum of the New South.</p><br>
<p>The Charlotte Museum of History now protects the house as a historic house museum.</p><br>
<p>The Coolidge School is a historic former school building at 319 Arlington Street in Watertown, Massachusetts. It is a large two story Classical Revival brick building with pressed stone trim, on a granite foundation. It was designed in its present configuration by local architects Clarence Hoyt and Curtis Bixby, and built in two phases. The first phase, built in 1915, was a U-shape structure that is the western portion of the building. In 1925, the eastern wing was added, giving the building its present E shape. The building replaced a previous four-room wood frame schoolhouse located on School Lane  near Mount Auburn Street. The new building, with ten rooms and capacity for over 400 students, was used as an elementary school until 1984. It was afterward used for a variety of purposes, including office space and some educational use, until it was formally closed in 2000.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. The building has been converted to residential use.</p><br>
<p>Woodlawn Cemetery is a cemetery located at 405 E. Main Street in Carbondale, which is known for hosting one of the first Memorial Day celebrations in the United States. The cemetery was established in 1854, two years before the incorporation of Carbondale. Over twenty Civil War soldiers, most of them Carbondale natives, were buried in the cemetery during the war. In April 1866, three Civil War veterans from Carbondale organized an event to honor the dead soldiers and decorate their gravesites; this event was one of the earliest observations of Memorial Day. The event included a speech by General John A. Logan, who in 1868 called for the national observance of Memorial Day as commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 19, 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Butters-Avery House is a historic First Period house located at 165 Chestnut Street in Wilmington, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>It is a two-story, three bay wide, timber frame house with an integral rear leanto section. When it was built, c. 1720, it sat on a tract of some 100 acre (originally granted to William Butters c. 1665) which remained intact until subdivided for housing in the 20th century. Analysis of its framing suggests that there was probably once a large chimney in the right-hand bay, although there is also some evidence that the house might have been larger, presumably the five bay width of typical colonial houses.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 3, 2010. It was acquired by the town of Wilmington in 2006.</p><br>
<p>The Mobile and Ohio Railroad Depot is the former Mobile and Ohio Railroad station serving Murphysboro, Illinois. Built in 1888, the station was the largest on the Mobile and Ohio line between St. Louis, Missouri and Cairo, Illinois. The station was probably designed by Philip N. Frew, a railroad employee who designed several other prominent buildings in Murphysboro. The railroad provided a benefit to Murphysboros economy in several ways. The citys business and entertainment district developed around the station, which brought passengers and workers to the city. The railroad also exported the produce and fruit grown by Murphysboro&#39;s agriculture industry. In addition, the repair shops adjacent to the station employed over 500 workers. The Tri-State Tornado destroyed the shops and roundhouse at Murphysboro, but the depot survived the storm.</p><br>
<p>The depot closed in 1977, by which time the railway had become part of the Illinois Central system. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>The Mr. Fred L. Mandel Jr. House is a French Eclectic house in Highland Park, Illinois. Designed by David Saul Klafter, the house was built for a Mandel Brothers executive.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Fred L. Mandel Jr. House was built on five lots (and part of a sixth) in the Highland Park Syndicate Subdivision in Highland Park, Illinois. This area was platted on March 29, 1926 when it was owned by the Bard family. Francis N. Bard built a bridge across a ravine in September 1927, allowing development on the other side. Some time in the next eight years, the property was sold to their neighbors, the Buckley family. On July 30, 1937, Fred L. Mandel Jr. purchased these lots from Buckley. He contracted architect David Saul Klafter and contractor Joseph T. Carp to design a French Eclectic house for approximately $127,900.</p><br>
<p>Mandel was an executive at the Mandel Brothers Department Store, one of the most successful department stores in Chicago. He was the grandson of Leon Mandel, one of the namesake brothers. He was working at the store at the time, but soon would leave it to manage his investments full-time. He was also an owner of the Detroit Lions. Mandel and his wife Lois divorced on March 29, 1944 and they moved out. The house was purchased by Jules J. Reingold, the owner of the Moraine-on-the-Lake Hotel, in 1947.</p><br>
<p>The property was restored to its original condition in the late 2000s. It was recognized by the National Park Service for its architecture with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places on December 22, 2009.</p><br>
<p>The Illinois Central Railroad Passenger Depot is the former Illinois Central Railroad passenger station which served Carbondale, Illinois. Built in 1903, the station was the second Illinois Central passenger depot in Carbondale. Illinois Central service to Carbondale began in 1854; passenger service briefly operated out of the freight depot before a wooden passenger depot was built. The 1903 depot was constructed as part of a series of improvements built by the railroad in Carbondale; these included a roundhouse, office buildings, and a bandstand and park. Railway architect Francis T. Bacon designed the depot in a transitional style influenced by contemporary late 19th and early 20th century architecture. The depot allowed for travel in and out of Carbondale, providing a direct connection from the city to events such as the 1904 World&#39;s Fair in St. Louis. In addition, the depot brought mail and traveling entertainment into Carbondale.</p><br>
<p>The depot served passenger trains until 1982; by this point, Amtrak controlled passenger service to Carbondale, and a new station was constructed to serve Amtrak trains. The building now houses the offices of Carbondale Main Street and Carbondale Chamber of Commerce.</p><br>
<p>The depot was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 9, 2002.</p><br>

The building was completed as a one story classroom building in 1859. The second floor was added at a later time. The building was named for Rev. Samuel M. Irvin, a missionary at the Sac and Fox Presbyterian Mission and a founder of Highland University, which was established to serve the Native American population of Kansas.</p><br>
<p>The two story red brick building is described as an excellent example of the Plains Vernacular style. The facade uses flat stone lintels over the windows and doors, with pilasters and a brickwork pattern on two side. The other elevations are plain in character. A flat-topped wood frame bell tower is situated on the east end. The interior has been extensively altered.</p><br>
<p>Irvin Hall was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 24, 1971.</p><br>
<p>Old Castle Hall was the first building of Baker University in Baldwin City, Kansas. It was built in 1857-58 to house the university on its first two floors, with the Palmyra Masonic Lodge occupying the third floor. It was used for classes until 1871, when other buildings were constructed for the purpose, and later used as a mill, a dormitory and for storage. The third floor was rebuilt during its service as a mill to address structural problems.</p><br>
<p>The building was restored in the 1950s and maintained as the Old Castle Museum. The museum features artifacts from early state, Methodist, and University history.</p><br>
<p>The hall is of rubble stone construction with crude quoining at the corners. The reconstruction of the third floor is visible by the change in material pattern on the outside. The overall plan is a rectangle. The interior has been extensively altered.</p><br>
<p>Old Castle Hall was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 24, 1971.</p><br>
<p>Spooner Hall was built in 1893-94 as the University of Kansas&#39; first library building. The Richardsonian Romanesque structure was designed by architect Henry Van Brunt and built with funds bequathed by William B. Spooner, a Massachusetts leather merchant who had a family connection to the university. As originally built, the building housed a reading room on the ground floor and meeting space on the upper level, with book stacks in a five story section.</p><br>
<p>Spooner Hall was constructed of rough-faced gray limestone blocks quarried in the immediate vicinity. A red Dakota sandstone accents quoins, columns, beltlines and sills. The roof is a steeply pitched gable with clay tile roof covering, accented by a sculpted owl on the peak of the western gable. The original interior was completely modified for use as an art gallery.</p><br>
<p>In 1924 Spooner Hall was superseded by a new library. In 1926 the building became the Spooner-Thayer Museum of Art. Later renamed the University of Kansas Museum of Art, the collection moved into the Spencer Museum of Art in 1978. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 15, 1974.</p><br>
<p>Wailau is an isolated valley on the North Shore of the island of Molokai, Hawaii, United States. It can be reached only by boat  or by the Wailau Trail from the southeast shore of the island which is heavily overgrown and virtually impassable in places.</p><br>
<p>The valley was an ancient ahupuaa, and well populated until the 19th century, and contained many taro plantations. The valley is nearly unpopulated today, although Molokai residents occasionally camp by the beach at the mouth of the valley in the summer.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Wailau valley was formed by stream erosion of the Wailau River, after the massive collapse of the East Molokai Volcano enabled streams from this part of the island to flow north. Numerous major landmarks dominate the area, such as Olokui, Molokai&#39;s second highest peak, and the Kukuinui Ridge. Others such as Malahini Cave are very difficult to access.</p><br>
<p>In the Hawaiian language wai lau literally means "many waters".</p><br>

<p>The B. B. Moeur Activity Building is a structure on the campus of Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona. Constructed from 1936 to 1939 by the Works Progress Administration, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in September 1985, ahead of the typical 50-year requirement for National Register sites, for "exceptional" architectural and historical merit. It is the largest WPA-built adobe building in the state.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Moeur Building was built in the late 1930s and is "the largest structure of its kind to be built in Arizona by the labor of the ". The building is made of adobe in the Federal Moderne style, both unusual; it is one of the largest adobe buildings in the state, utilizing 50,000 adobe bricks and dating from an era when the WPA constructed many adobe structures (such as the Casa Grande Union High School gymnasium), while it is the only Federal Moderne building on the campus. The architect was the Arizona firm of Lescher & Mahoney. Many building materials were donated by Arizona firms.</p><br>
<p>The building was named for former governor of Arizona Benjamin Baker Moeur, who died two years before the project was completed. Governor Moeur spent two terms in office and was part of the state&#39;s Constitutional Convention, writing the sections of the Arizona Constitution that pertained to education.</p><br>
<p>The building was constructed as a women&#39;s activity center, containing a 6,800 ft2 auditorium/recreation room surrounded by a U-shaped corridor. The corridor features low relief panels on the walls and ceiling in geometric Moderne designs. Two wall murals have since been removed, one by Taliesin student Bruce Richards depicting modern dance and another by John Leeper depicting women in sports and art activities.</p><br>
<p>The building housed administrative offices for the expanding university after the 1960s, and it currently houses the Mars Space Flight Facility, a center for research on Mars.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Moeur Building features ornamental features typical of the Moderne style, with linear designs in low relief. Stylized brick pilasters with fluted capitals add a vertical element to the central bay facade. The building&#39;s footprint is H-shaped, with each wing extending further to the north than the south.</p><br>
<p>Internally, concrete is used for the structure, with the walls infilled with adobe. No other structure in Arizona was built with this method.</p><br>

<p>Hutzlers Barn is an agricultural building located north of the cemetery on South Manitou Island . It is the oldest remaining portion of George Johann Hutzlers homestead, and is significant for its role in the development of prize-winning Rosen rye and Michelite seeds. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>George Johann Hutzler was born in about 1815 and lived in the small village Oberkrumbach near Kirchensittenbach, Bavaria. In 1853, he and his wife Margaretha, along with their children, emigrated for America. They arrived in early 1854, and immediately traveled to Buffalo, New York, to join Hutzler&#39;s half-brother, George Conrad Hutzler. George Johann found work as a sailor on the steamer Iowa (likely following in the footsteps of his half-brother). He soon went to work, likely part-time, for Burton, Lord & Co. on South Manitou Island, suppying wood to steamers. At some point in the late 1850s or (more likely) in 1860, George Johann Hutzler moved his wife and family from Buffalo to South Manitou Island.</p><br>
<p>In 1863, Hutzler staked a claim to 160 acres of land on the island; he was the first farmer to stake a claim on the island. George Johann Hutzler died in 1890 and was buried on the farm. His son John (born on the island in 1865) took over ownership of the farm; Margaretha stayed there until 1901 when she moved to Chicago. John married Bertha Peth in 1893; the couple had one child in 1899 who died in 1901. John and Bertha soon divorced, but apparently got along amicably when living apart.</p><br>
<p>In the 1920s, researchers from Michigan Agricultural College (now Michigan State University) chose South Manitou Island to work on experimental hybridization of rye plants, due primarily to its isolation from other rye crops which prevented accidental cross-pollination. Many of the island farmers, including John Hutzler, participated in experimental hybridization of crops, including prize-winning the Rosen rye and Michelite pea beans that were once significant field crops in Michigan.</p><br>
<p>However, during the Great Depression, transportation on the Great Lakes declined, and South Manitou Island farmer had a more difficult time getting their crops to market; even the experimental farming that many farm families, including the Hutzlers, engaged in could not sustain the farms on the island. As a result, families began leaving in the 1940s. John Hutzler died in 1944. After his death, development groups purchased many of the farms on the island. However, development activities never materialized. In the 1970s, the National Park Service purchased the Hutzler farm (along with other South Manitou Island properties) from Martin J. McCarthy, and took over management as part of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Hutzler&#39;s Barn is located in a clearing along with the Hutzler farmhouse and other outbuildings in various states of repair. the barn is a 2-1/2-story frame, gable-roof swine barn, measuring 16 ft by 30 ft, sitting on 16-inch-square wooden beams. The upper level was used to store hay, while the lower level was used to house pigs. The walls are constructed from weathered wood with the front gable roof covered with tar paper. The interior of the barn is partitioned into three sections, each with its own entrance.</p><br>
<p>The George Conrad Hutzler Farm, also known as the Conrad Hutzler Farm, is a historic farmstead located on South Manitou Island in Lake Michigan. One of the farm&#39;s owners, George Conrad Hutzler, Jr., was the first to experiment with hybridization of Rosen rye and Michelite pea beans; within 20 years of his experimentation, 80% of the pea bean crop in the United States was descended from Michelite seeds grown on South Manitou Island. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>George Conrad Hutzler was born in about 1822 and lived in the small Village Oberkrumbach near Kirchensittenbach, Bavaria. In 1845, he emigrated for America along with his wife Magdalena and their son. George Conrad Hutzler likely worked as a sailor on the Great Lakes. In 1854 his half-brother George Johann Hutzler arrived from Germany and also settled in Buffalo. George Johann Hutzler and his family later moved to South Manitou Island, likely in 1860, and George Conrad Hutzler followed in about 1868. In 1870, he staked a claim to this farm near his hal-brother.</p><br>
<p>George Conrad Hutzler died in 1896 and was buried on the farm. His son George Conrad Jr.(born on the island in 1872) took over ownership of the farm. George Conrad Jr. and his son Lewis ran the farm for a number of years. In the 1920s, researchers from Michigan Agricultural College (now Michigan State University) chose South Manitou Island to work on experimental hybridization of rye plants, due primarily to its isolation from other rye crops which prevented accidental cross-pollination. The Hutzlers were notable partners in the effort, and won a number of awards for the varieties of Rosen Rye and the Michilite pea bean that they developed.</p><br>
<p>However, during the Great Depression, transportation on the Great Lakes declined, and South Manitou Island farmers had a more difficult time getting their crops to market; even the experimental farming that many farm families, including the Hutzlers, engaged in could not sustain the farms on the island. Louis Hutzler eventually married and moved to Hastings, Michigan. George Conrad Hutzler Jr. died on the farm in 1951 and is buried there.</p><br>
<p>After George Conrad Hutzler Jr.&#39;s death, a development group headed by William Boals purchased the farm from his son. They rented the farm to the Riker family. However, development activities never materialized, and in 1970 Boals sold the property to the National Park Service. The Rikers, by then the last active farm family on the island, were asked to relocate, and the farm (and other properties on South Manitou Island) were included as part of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The George Conrad Hutzler Farm is located on 160 acre near the center of the island. The farm contains a house, barn, five shed, a chicken coop, and a granary surrounded by old fields.</p><br>
<p>The George Conrad Hutzler house is a 1-1/2 story wood frame structure with clapboard siding on a concrete foundation. The house has a gable roof covered in hexagonal slate tiles. The main section measures 30 ft by 30 ft, and a small shed-roof addition is built on one side.</p><br>
<p>The associated barn is a gable-roofed structure on a wooden foundation. It is clad with vertical board siding and roofed with wooden shingles. It measures 58 ft by 36 ft and has a pair of large double wooden doors on one side.</p><br>
<p>The five sheds are all gable roofed wooden structures. They are:</p><br>
<p>Two-story 18 ft by 20 ft structure with wooden shingles and board-and-batten siding.</p><br>
<p>One-story 18 ft by 10 ft structure with an asphalt roof and tarpaper siding.</p><br>
<p>One-story 4 ft by 16 ft structure with wooden shingles and horizontal board siding.</p><br>
<p>One-story 39 ft by 21 ft structure asphalt shingles and horizontal board siding.</p><br>
<p>One-story 10 ft by 16 ft structure with wooden shingles and horizontal board siding.</p><br>
<p>The chicken coop consists of two connected structures. The larger structure measures 10 ft by 22 ft, with an asphalt-covered shed roof and vertical board siding on a wood foundation. The smaller part measures 10 ft by 13 ft, with an asphalt-covered gable roof and vertical board siding on a wood foundation.</p><br>
<p>The granary is a 1-1/2 story wood frame structure measuring 18 ft by 20 ft, with a small one-story shed attached to the rear. It has a wood foundation and is covered by a gable roof with wood shingles. A corn crib is on one side.</p><br>
<p>Liberty Theater is a historic movie theater located at 1333 Walnut St. in Murphysboro, Illinois. Built in 1913 as the Tilford Theatre, the theater was one of the first five movie theaters in Murphysboro. The theaters name was changed in 1918 during a wave of patriotism inspired by World War I. In 1938, the theater was remodeled in the Art Deco style. During the remodeling, the theaters neon marquee was installed and the building&#39;s exterior walls were faced with black vitrolite. The theater continued to show films until 1998 and was the last of the original five theaters to close. After a renovation in 2002, the theater was reopened by a not-for-profit group; it currently hosts community events and is available for rent.</p><br>
<p>The theater was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 13, 2012.</p><br>
