According to its National Register nomination, "Bakers place in the history of the development of Californias highway and highway maintenance system is evidenced in three major ways: Its remote, montane, forested setting, adjacent to the highway it served; in its simple, basic materials of wood and corrugated metal; and in its site design and underlying social geography that separated work and residential areas and distanced the superintendent&#39;s from the other residential buildings."</p><br>
<p>Architect: California Department of Public Works; California Division of Highways</p><br>
<p>Architecture: Bungalow/craftsman, Wooden cabin</p><br>
<p>It may also have been referred to as the Baker Station Historic District, and it has designations CA-Tou-55-0016H; P-55-006760; and FS 05-16-53-0571.</p><br>
<p>The station is now used as the High Sierra Institute of Columbia College?</p><br>
<p>The Cecil Ranch, in Grimes, California in Colusa County, California, United States, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. The listing included seven contributing buildings and a contributing structure on 1.7 acre.</p><br>
<p>It is a complex of buildings mostly dating from around the 1909 construction year of the main house.</p><br>
<p>The main house is a two-and-a-half-story woodframe house upon a brick foundation. It was designed by Sacramento architect Alden Campbell and is somewhat similar to other houses he designed in that city, but is unusual in its rural area. It reflects a mix of architectural styles: Queen Anne in its variation of exterior sheathing textures for each story, Craftsman for its clinker brick porch bases, secondary story base, chimney, and some of the bracketing, and Colonial Revival for its Tuscan columns, balustrades, enclosed gables and "rather trim formal image".</p><br>
<p>Its address is 1840 CA 45 in Grimes. The complex is located on what is now an oxbow lake named Cecil Lake, which was formerly a bend in the Sacramento River, altered by levees.</p><br>
<p>The Fitch House in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, at 3404 Sixth St., was built around 1830. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story two-room deep house with a two-story full-length porch. Its earliest portion, built around 1830, was a frame, two-story, one-room deep side hall and parlor house. It was expanded and modified later, perhaps around 1860 or even as late as around 1880, into its Greek Revival form. There is an "Eastlake-inspired projecting second-floor balcony" which was added around 1880.</p><br>
<p>It is significant in part for its association with master builder and carpenter John S. Fitch, who built and lived in the house.</p><br>
<h2>John S. Fitch</h2><br>
<p>John S. Fitch a carpenter born in Norwich, Connecticut on October 15, 1792. Fitch was hired by the architect William Nichols to do the carpentry work in the new state capitol to be built in Tuscaloosa, 1827–1831. Fitch is also attributed for designing and building the 1832 Tuscaloosa County Courthouse. John Fitch built his own house several blocks from the state capitol around 1827. The most outstanding feature of the Fitch House is the elliptical stairway supported by an internal system at cantilevered joists. This construction technique is associated with grand stairways found in public buildings of the period, but not in domestic structures. Fitch has successfully scaled down the size of the stairway while retaining the sophistication of the design. The graceful stairway is very different from the heavy and massive architecture of the period so prevalent in Tuscaloosa. The stairway is one of the finest examples of residential stairways in the state. Another unique feature of the Fitch House is the mantel located in the original front west parlor. The turned-spool design is a variation of the popular type of Federal style found in pattern books of the period. The presence of an overmantel is a unique occurrence in Alabama, with only one other known example of an early overmantel in existence.</p><br>

<p>The Schorsch Irving Park Gardens Historic District is a residential historic district in the Dunning neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. The district includes 255 buildings, all but three of which are Chicago bungalows. In the early twentieth century, tens of thousands of Chicago bungalows were built in the city; as homeownership became more accessible to working-class Chicagoans, demand for housing increased, and bungalows were an affordable way of meeting this demand due to their relatively uniform design. The bungalows in the district were largely built either between 1917 and 1918 or between 1922 and 1926. Unlike Chicagos other bungalow-dominated neighborhoods, which often had several different developers, developer Albert J. Schorsch built every bungalow in the district, and architech Ernest N. Braucher designed all of them. To add diversity to a neighborhood made up of only one style of house, the two men varied the homes roof shapes, colors, and dormers.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 25, 2004.</p><br>
<p>The East Old Town Historic District, near Decatur, Alabama, is a historic district which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.</p><br>
<p>The listing included 37 contributing buildings and a contributing site on 30 acre.</p><br>
<p>It includes Greek Revival, and Bungalow/craftsman architecture.</p><br>
<p>The district includes NW Church Street to NW Wilson Street.</p><br>
<p>The Hutchins Bridge, spanning the Madison River in Madison County, Montana near Cameron, Montana, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>It is a pin-connected three-span Pratt through truss bridge which was built in 1902 by John W. Towle, an engineer from Omaha, Nebraska. Its three trusses are identical, each 100 ft long with a 16 ft roadway.</p><br>
<p>Wooden 4x4 in posts of its original guardrails survive, but its 2x4 rails are gone, replaced by a chainlink fence protecting pedestrians.</p><br>
<p>In 1998 the bridge was open but signage limited it to four tons carrying capacity.</p><br>
<p>It spans the Madison River near the mouth of the West Fork of the Madison River, providing access from what is now USA Highway 287 to the West Fork Road. It is about 9 mi miles west (downstream) of Quake Lake and 23 mi south of Cameron, Montana. The bridge provided access to Yellowstone National Park, allowing travellers to cross where a ford had been and then continuing south, up the west branch of the Madison River. Gilman Sawtell had built a first bridge here in the 1870s; a multi-span wood toll bridge operated from 1885 to 1901. The 1902 bridge served early motorists using the Vigilante Trail highway or the Grand Canyon to Banff highway.</p><br>
<p>For travelling to Yellowstone, the bridge was bypassed in 1922. In 2019 it serves some campground areas on the west side of the Madison River.</p><br>
<p>The Ferris-Hermsmeyer-Fenton Ranch, at 144 Duncan District Rd. in Sheridan, Montana, in Madison County, Montana, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008. The listing included a 160 acre area with nine contributing buildings, a contributing structure and two contributing sites.</p><br>
<p>The ranch was established in 1872 by Jane Ferris. It is located in the heart of the Ruby River valley. Ferris&#39; application described an original c.1866 barn which still exists.</p><br>
<p>Jane Ferris was a widow with two small children. She seems to have been the only woman in the Sheridan area who was successful in using preemption to secure land and a home, for herself and her heirs. The lower Ruby Valley was opened for settlement in 1863, soon after gold discoveries in Bannack and in Alder Gulch nearby, and before there was any government survey of the land which could have led to sale of the land to the public. By the 1841 Preemption Act, any 160-acre area of unsurveyed land was open for settlement, essentially by squatters who lived on the land for 14 months, by heads of households being either a man over age 21 or a widow. The property that she claimed included an 1866 cabin, which became a portion of the main residence, and an 1866 barn, and these were described by Ferris in her 1872 application for preemption.</p><br>
<p>The property was farmed by her daughter and her family in the late 1870s and early 1880s. Later, the Frederick and George Hermsmeyer families further improved the property with additional buildings related to farming. Various owners held the property after World War I, then in 1937 the Fendon family took ownership. The Fentons brought the ranch back into prosperity and improved it, especially during and after World War II when agricultural prices were better. The ranch had stayed among Fenton descendants for 70 years when it was nominated for listing on the National Register in 2007, at which time it was owned in the Wuelfing last name.</p><br>
<p>The ranch was deemed significant for its "association with women&#39;s history and the use of federal public land law for settlement in southwest Montana during the formation of Montana territory."</p><br>

<p>The First Baptist Church of Emmett, at the northeast corner of 1st St. and Hayes Ave. in Emmett, Idaho, was built in 1915. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The church faces south onto 1st St. It has "Italianesque round arches and an accompanying Renaissance flavor" and was designed by architects Nisbet & Paradice. The nomination document describes its exterior as "imposing", and goes on:</p><br>
<p>The interior, with its belled walls, curving pews and excellent stained glass, is one of the finest—perhaps the finest at this scale—and most original in Idaho. The church is notable for its status as the only commission so far as is presently known of a Boise architectural office then of some importance Nisbet and Paradice. This elaborate local church was begun during a prosperous period in 1909, and not dedicated until 1915 or completely finished until still later. It kept its congregation in financial straits until 1924, but it was finished nonetheless.</p><br>
<p>It is one of six churches within a two block area of Emmett, established there from 1906 to 1934, which were together studied proposed for listing on the National Register. The six are: Catholic Church of the Sacred Heart (Emmett, Idaho), Emmett Presbyterian Church, First Baptist Church of Emmett, Methodist Episcopal Church (Emmett, Idaho), and St. Mary&#39;s Episcopal Church (Emmett, Idaho), which were all listed in 1980, and the First Full Gospel/United Pentecostal Church, which was not listed.</p><br>
<p>The Catholic Church of the Sacred Heart, on 1st St. in Emmett, Idaho, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>It was designed by architects Tourtellotte & Hummel in Mission Revival style.</p><br>
<p>Its front facade has a gabled roof, a baroque-curved bell tower, a round-arched entrance, and "stucco fabric enriched with wrought-iron ornament." It was built in 1928 with a 35x50 ft nave and a 12x38 ft sanctuary and sacristy offset at the rear. It was modified with additions in 1977.</p><br>
<p>It is located on First Street at Hayes Avenue, directly across from the First Baptist Church of Emmett.</p><br>

<p>The Methodist Episcopal Church in Emmett, Idaho, was built in 1906. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>It has also been known as the United Methodist Church. It was located at 132 S. Washington Ave, at 1st St., in Emmett. The building no longer exists; a modern True Value Hardware store is now at that address.</p><br>
<p>It was built in 1906 in a cross-shaped plan, and it was expanded in 1920. Its original section was built of buff-colored brick, as was the later. The original section had more consistent use of Gothic Revival styling, in its "sharply pointed arches" for all openings.</p><br>

<p>The St. Mary&#39;s Episcopal Church, on 1st St. in Emmett, Idaho, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The church was completed in 1886, at First Street and Boise Avenue in Emmett. It was dedicated by pioneer Bishop of Idaho Daniel S. Tuttle.</p><br>
<p>The main block of the church, a gabled, wood-frame structure, was moved to its current location, on the southwest corner of First Street and Wardwell Avenue, in 1928.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The church is L-shaped and faces north onto First Street. The main block contains its nave. A smaller gabled ell contains the sacristy and extends toward Wardwell Avenue at the left rear. At the left front of the church is a crenellated tower. The church also has a half-hexagonal apse at the back of the nave.</p><br>
<p>Its present appearance, which is Gothic Revival, was created in 1928.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed "architecturally significant as a pleasing local example of a twentieth-century picturesque style. Along with the Mission Revival Catholic Church up the block, which was completed in the same year, the Episcopal Church is in broad stylistic tradition which particularly values the nostalgic associations buildings can evoke. In this case the associations (necessarily vague) which are evoked by the low and cozy massing, the rustic shingle siding, the determinedly "gothic" fenestration and the picturesque tower and apse, are probably with the English country church, from which small Episcopal churches in America may legitimately see themselves descended. (St. Michael&#39;s Cathedral in Boise, the seat of the Idaho Episcopal Diocese, is identically massed, rendered in stone over which picturesque ivy was early trained.)"</p><br>

<p>The Abington Township High School was a complex of educational buildings at 1801 Susquehanna Road in Abington Township, Pennsylvania. The 5 acre property included a number of buildings, including the township&#39;s first purpose-built school building. Buildings in the complex served as a high school, junior high school, and school administration facility. All but the oldest building were demolished in 1996, replaced by a senior living facility.

<p>The Wrightwood Bungalow Historic District is a residential historic district encompassing the 4600 and 4700 blocks of Wrightwood Avenue in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. The district includes 58 houses built between 1916 and 1926, 55 of which are Chicago bungalows. As homeownership became more accessible in early twentieth century Chicago, the bungalow became popular as an affordable home design, and tens of thousands of the houses were built throughout Chicago. Like many of Chicagos bungalow-heavy neighborhoods, both the district and the Belmont Cragin neighborhood in general saw little residential development before the bungalow boom; however, the area was much more industrial than most similar neighborhoods. While several developers built bungalows in the district, the Stolzner Construction Company built over half of them, including every bungalow on the 4600 block. The companys architect, Joseph Klafter, differentiated the bungalows by changing details such as their color, entrance position, and dormer design.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 15, 2004.</p><br>

<p>The Gladstone Houses, in Shasta County, California near French Gulch, California, are two Craftsman style houses that were built in 1909. They were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<p>They have been attributed to architect Gustav Stickley, known for his development of American Craftsman architecture, although his direct involvement has not been proven. They are wood-framed houses built by I. O. Jillson, the owner of the Gladstone Mine. The one called the Lower Mansion, built c. 1912–1914, "has an L-shaped floor plan with a triple-intersecting hipped roof". The Upper House, built c. 1909, has a steep gable roof.</p><br>
<p>They are located up a rural road on a steep wooded 3.10 acre and overlook Cline Creek.</p><br>
<p>The Edward Frisbie House, at 1246 East St. in Redding, California, is an Italianate-style house which was built in 1887. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1887.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story house built somehow incorporating tongue-and-groove work. It was built in 1887 and expanded to the rear in 1930. It has a verandah, decorative moldings, cornices and brackets supporting its overhanging hipped roof. Its interior has an "original curved staircase and double sliding parlor doors." Its planned landscaping "includes the original plants and trees."</p><br>
<p>Its "roof line features a cornice, frieze board and corona with bed moldings and decorative brackets at all four elevations."</p><br>
<p>A reconstructed widow&#39;s walk was in place, but "was removed per instruction from the USA Department of Interior National Park Service, Division of Preservation Assistance Branch, on July 11, 1986", apparently for being not verifiably authentic.</p><br>
<p>Priestly&#39;s Hydraulic Ram, located in Gooding County, Idaho near Hagerman, Idaho, was a hydraulic ram invented and built. It was used to move water uphill to irrigate agricultural land on the plateau above the Snake River. It was located about 6 mi south of Hagerman at Thousand Springs. The area is now Thousand Springs State Park. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places  in 1975.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The ram was started by William W. Priestly to capture water, which emerged from the Snake River Aquifer on the north slope of the Snake River Canyon as spring-fed waterfalls and pump it to the top of the cliff. The ram utilized the force of the falling water to pump the water up the cliff.</p><br>
<p>Priestly started work on the project in 1888, intending to develop an irrigation system for the farmland south of Hagerman. The ram, although credited to Priestly, may have actually been built in 1901–02 by David Hyde. During its construction, a competitor, North Side Irrigation, developed an alternative system and the ram was apparently never used commercially. It was reported to have been functional in 1901.</p><br>
<p>According to an alternative account, Priestly built the ram in 1894 and was successful raising water 75 ft and using it for irrigation at that time. He then turned his attention to gold mining, and used the same air-ram principle in the construction of a gold dredge in 1896.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The ram used diameter pipes to collect spring water, mixed with air, and send it falling downhill into a metal reservoir tank. The design of the tank caused the water to drain out into the river while harnessing the kinetic energy of the falling water to force air uphill through a second pipe to the reservoir tank of a second smaller ram that was fed with water dropped from a higher spring via a third pipe. The air pressure from the two rams was combined to push water to the top of the cliff through a fourth smaller pipe.</p><br>
<p>According to the NRHP nomination form, "Priestly&#39;s hydraulic ram, a pump with not one moving part, was considered truly marvelous."</p><br>
<p>Although a similar but less sophisticated ram was built in Arizona several years before, Priestly is believed to have designed his ram independently. Similar devices were built around that time (near Montreal, Quebec in 1896, Ainsworth, British Columbia in 1898 and Norwich, Connecticut in 1902). The technology did not find widespread use because the devices, which were about 70% efficient, were soon eclipsed by more efficient pumps powered by steam, gasoline, and electricity.</p><br>
<p>The ram is notable because "few such original developments in the field of power transmission have been made anywhere in the United States."</p><br>
<h2>Present</h2><br>
<p>According to the NRHP nomination form from 1974, parts of the pipeline and the storage tank still existed. The nomination included two photos, one of a pipeline and one of the reservoir, both credited to the Twin Falls Times News and purported to have been taken in 1973. It is not clear what happened to these pieces after that. Idaho Power Company senior archaeologist Shane Baker said: "It may have been taken apart and salvaged for parts. Or moved somewhere else, or perhaps abandoned in place. To my knowledge, no one has ever found any remnants of the facility. The exact location for the ram is unknown, and it may be possible that the first hydroelectric plant built at Thousand Springs in 1912 may have been built over top of the location of the old ram."</p><br>
<p>The French Gulch Historic District, in French Gulch, California in northern California, is a historic district which was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. The listing included nine contributing buildings and two contributing sites on 180 acre.</p><br>
<p>It runs along both sides of Main St. (which has also been referred to as French Gulch Rd.) through a historic mining town.</p><br>
<p>It includes:</p><br>
<p>Saint Anne&#39;s Catholic Church (c.1900). Wood frame, with bell-tower/steeple. Likely was demolished by 2011; probably was located at 40.697842&deg;N latitude, 122.638036&deg;W longitude</p><br>
<p>Feeny Hotel (1887), still in operation in 1970 as "French Gulch Hotel", at 40.699463&deg;N latitude, 122.638920&deg;W longitude</p><br>
<p>Francks Store (1867), stone building of store founded 1854; owners descendants still operated it in 1970.</p><br>
<p>Franck Residence (c.1860s), west side of Main St. One-story wood-frame house.</p><br>
<p>I.O.O.F. Hall (c.1860s), west side of Main St., of chapter founded 1858. Likely was demolished by 2011.</p><br>
<p>Gartland Cabin (c.1856). Oldest surviving building in French Gulch.</p><br>
<p>Commercial buildings and residences within a large north–south oriented rectangle 1,750x4,000 ft encompassing both sides of Main St.</p><br>
<p>The Cottonwood Historic District, in Cottonwood, California in Shasta County, California, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. The listing included four contributing buildings on 9 acre.</p><br>
<p>It is located off US 99, on the southern boundary of Shasta County, the north side of Cottonwood Creek.</p><br>
<p>The district includes a railroad depot (in 1970 used as a storage building) on Front Street, the old Cottonwood school on Bush Street (in 1970 used as the Grange Hall), and the old First Baptist Church on Bush Street. It may have been intended to include several brick commercial buildings on Front Street, and some old residences.</p><br>
<p>The Red Bridge is a historic bridge spanning the Quinnipiac River near Oregon Road in Meriden, Connecticut. It was built in 1891 by the Berlin Iron Bridge Company, and is one of a small number of surviving lenticular truss bridges in the state, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. The bridge is open to pedestrian traffic only.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Red Bridge is located in south Meriden, crossing the Quinnipiac River just upriver from the bridge that now carries Oregon Road. It is a single-span wrought iron lenticular pony truss structure, measuring 82 ft long with a roadway width of 17 ft, resting on brownstone abutments. Its bridge deck is wooden, of recent construction.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was built in 1891 for the city by the Berlin Iron Bridge Company, the largest fabricator of metal bridges in New England at the time. It replaced a wooden truss bridge that already bore the name "Red Bridge", which carried Oregon Road, then a major route between Meriden and Cheshire. The bridge is one of a small number (less than twenty) of lenticular truss bridges built by the company in its home state to survive, out of more than 100 built. The bridge was bypassed for vehicular use in the 1970s, and underwent a major restoration in 2018, after which it was reopened to foot traffic.</p><br>
<p>Sierra is a historic motor ship used to transport lumber. Built in 1916, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Sierra was built at Matthews shipyard in Hoquiam for E. K. Wood Lumber Company and was the first motor ship built on Grays Harbor. The ships engines were made in Sweden by Bolinder, which sent a representative to oversee their installation. Senator Miles Poindexter attended the ships launch on August 30, 1916.</p><br>
<p>Its first long voyage was to Valparaíso, Chile. Sierra was able to complete the round-trip without refueling.</p><br>
<p>Sierra was used to ferry lumber between Bellingham, Washington and Hoquiam, Washington. In one month in 1920, Sierra carried a shipment of 1,200,000 feet of lumber out of Bellingham.</p><br>
<p>On Feb 7, 1923, Sierra was badly damaged after colliding with the steamship Wilhemina in dense fog near San Francisco; damages were estimated at $135,000.</p><br>
<p>In 1926, Sierra caught fire at Berth 77 in the Port of Los Angeles, the first fire fought by the fireboat Los Angeles City No. 2.</p><br>
<p>Sierra was sold in 1927 and equipped with refrigeration equipment to carry reindeer meat from Alaska for the Arctic Transport Company.</p><br>
<p>In 1964, the new owner began restoring Sierra to its original, lumber-carrying configuration.</p><br>
<p>The Phillips Brothers Mill is a sawmill and box factory in Shasta County, California, near Oak Run, California, that was first built in 1898 and moved to its current site in 1933. It is notable for all production machinery being powered by stationary steam engines, little changed since it was first constructed. The mill produces both rough-sawn and planed lumber from locally harvested trees. The adjoining box factory originally produced packing crates for fruit growers but now produces decorative boxes for a variety of customers and gift items for sale at the mill. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. The listing included 17 contributing buildings and three contributing structures on 7.5 acre.</p><br>
<p>Architect: Phillips Brothers</p><br>
<p>Historic function: Industry/processing/extraction</p><br>
<p>Historic subfunction: Manufacturing Facility</p><br>
<p>It is located approximately 30 mi northeast of Redding, California.</p><br>
<p>National Register of Historic Places reference number 02001406</p><br>
<p>The Hotel Fresno is a historic hotel located at 1241-1263 Broadway Plaza in downtown Fresno, California. It is the oldest surviving hotel in the city, built in 1912. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018.</p><br>
<p>The hotel was designed by architect Edward T. Foulkes and has been described as Neoclassical in style, with elements of Second Renaissance Revival and Beaux Arts styles. Its design "was reportedly adapted from that of the Palace Hotel in San Francisco, known for its crystal-roofed garden court." The Palace Hotel was built in 1875, and was rebuilt in 1909 after destruction in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.</p><br>
<p>Architectural historian John Edward Powell describes it as having "adopted the caravansary model, that is, a design around a centralized interior court or atrium lobby at first floor."</p><br>
<p>The hotel closed in 1983 due to "repairs", and remained vacant for 41 years.</p><br>
<p>The West Butte Schoolhouse, in Sutter County, California near Live Oak, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.</p><br>
<p>It is a one-room schoolhouse built in 1909, to replace an 1860 schoolhouse destroyed by a fire in 1908. Its classroom was about 23x28 ft in plan, with a ceiling about 13 ft high.</p><br>
<p>It was used as a residence after 1943.</p><br>
<p>It is located at 14226 Pass Rd. near Live Oak.</p><br>
<p>The listing included two contributing structures: a well house with compatible architecture, and a board & batten storage shed.</p><br>
<p>The Our Lady of Guadalupe Church and Medina Cemetery in Las Animas County, Colorado, at Medina Plaza, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2019.</p><br>
<p>The church dates from 1866 or 1867 and may be known more commonly as Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe.</p><br>
<p>It was documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey as "Guadaloupe Mission Church", with photos taken in 1936 by photographer Frederick D. Nichols. It is recorded as "built 1867" and "adobe with cupola".</p><br>
<p>It is located about 3 mi east of the unincorporated community of Weston, Colorado. Satellite view shows what appears to be a cemetery across the road and up the hill a bit, not visible by Google Streetview.</p><br>
<p>The Rogers Park Manor Bungalow Historic District is a residential historic district in the West Ridge neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. The district includes 329 buildings, 247 of which are Chicago bungalows built in the 1920s. As homeownership became more accessible to working-class Chicagoans in the early twentieth century, bungalows became an affordable and popular style due to their easily replicable design, and tens of thousands of the houses were built throughout Chicago. The Rogers Park Manor area was typical of new bungalow neighborhoods, as it was an underdeveloped outlying neighborhood near the city&#39;s northern edge. The bungalows in Rogers Park Manor were built by several different developers and architects, which led to variation in the size and shape of the homes despite their similar designs.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 15, 2005.</p><br>
<p>The JA Ranch is a historic cattle ranch in the Palo Duro Canyon in Armstrong County, Texas. Founded in 1876 by Charles Goodnight and John George Adair, it is the oldest cattle ranching operation in the Texas Panhandle. Its headquarters area was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1960 for its association with Goodnight, one of the most influential cattle barons of the late 19th century. The ranch is an ongoing business, operated by Adair&#39;s descendants.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The JA Ranch is located southeast of Amarillo, Texas in the Texas Panhandle. The main ranch house, now a museum devoted to Charles Goodnight, is located a short way south of United States Route 287. It is a two-story construction, its oldest portion a log cabin which predates the American Civil War. The main portion of the house, built beginning in 1879, has rough stone walls on the ground floor and a wood-framed second story. Nearby outbuildings include the original 19th-century stables and corral, and a house for bunking ranch hands.</p><br>
<p>Charles Goodnight (1836–1929) was a native of Illinois who became a Texas Ranger in 1857. After the American Civil War, he became involved in cattle herding operations that recovered many thousands of heads of cattle left unsupervised during the conflict, blazing major herding trails across West Texas. After starting a ranching operation in eastern Colorado, he returned to the Palo Duro Canyon area (site of a major operation he led against the Kiowa and Comanche), and established a small ranch in 1874. He then entered into a partnership with John Adair, a wealthy landowner from Co. Laois in Ireland, who funded the ranchs expansion while Goodnight managed it. Under their oversight the ranch grew to over 700,000 acre. Upon John Adairs death in 1885, his wife, Cornelia (Wadsworth) Ritchie Adair, assumed the partnership with Goodnight. Goodnight retired to a smaller ranch nearby in 1889. Cornelia Adair supervised the ranch operations until her death in 1921 after which her descendants maintained the ranch into the 21st century.</p><br>
<p>The Richland Trust Building is a historic bank building in downtown Mansfield, Ohio. It was built in 1929 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. The 9-story building was designed by Althouse & Jones and was also home to business and law offices as well as a shoe store. It is adorned with angel sculptures and was built during a building boom in Mansfield and elsewhere that preceded the stock market crash.</p><br>
<p>Althouse & Jones, a partnership between William L. Althouse and Mr. Herbert S. Jones in Mansfield, also designed the Park Avenue Baptist Church, another building on the National Register.</p><br>
<p>Ponca City Milling Company Elevator, also known as the Robin Hood Elevator, is a grain elevator located at 114 West Central Avenue in Ponca City, Oklahoma. The now vacant milling complex, once owned and operated by the Donahoe family, consists of an office, flour storage area, flour mill, grain elevator, and cylindrical grain storage bins. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 15, 2019.</p><br>
<p>Since 2018, Ponca City Main Street has led an effort for Oklahoma artist Rick Sinnett to paint murals on the east and west sides of the elevator.</p><br>

<p>The Falconer Bungalow Historic District is a residential historic district in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. The district comprises 348 Chicago bungalows built from 1915 to 1931. As homeownership became more affordable in early twentieth century Chicago, the bungalow became popular as an affordable and easily replicable home style, and tens of thousands of the homes were built throughout the city. While more industrial than average, the Belmont Cragin area was otherwise typical of the new bungalow neighborhoods, as it was an underdeveloped area on the outskirts of the city. Laughlin Falconer, for whom the district is named, owned and farmed on the land before dividing it and selling it to developers in 1913. Architects Ernest Braucher and Johan F. Knudson designed most of the bungalows in the district; both architects frequently gave their houses full-length, open-air front porches, and the district has one of the city&#39;s most significant collections of open front porch bungalows as a result.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 7, 2007.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the mid-1800s, the Scottish immigrant Laughlin Falconer settled in the land for farming. The area was transformed into a mixture of industrial, commercial, and residential in the early decades of the 20th century.</p><br>
<p>In November 1915, home building initiated in the Falconer District. Edward H. Olsen and Henry Van Vooren started on a series of bungalows on the 4900 block of West Oakdale Avenue.</p><br>
<p>George C. Hield, a former hay dealer from Wisconsin, was the most important player in the growth of the Falconer District. He purchased most of the land subdivided by the Falconer family between 1913 and 1919.</p><br>
<p>According to the Chicago Tribune, Hield had the intention of building thirty houses of various designs, including single dwellings of the ordinary type, bungalows, and two flat buildings.</p><br>
<p>From November 1915 to April 1921, only three of 101 homes built in the district were constructed by builders other than Hield and Olsen and Van Vooren. After 1921, dozens of developers, builders, architects, and potential homeowners filled the remaining lots, building 240 properties between 1921 and 1925.</p><br>
<h2>Working-class neighborhood</h2><br>
<p>Like other bungalows that sprang up between the northwest extensions of Chicago, the Falconer Historic District was not segregated from the industrial and manufacturing districts. The developers of the Falconer District built homes within walking distance of major areas employers.</p><br>
<p>The availability of manufacturing and clerical jobs in the Belmont Cragin community allowed extended family and adult children of a good number of bungalow owners made contributions to the household economy. This was advantageous to the Depression of the early 1930s.</p><br>
<p>One example of these cases was a Norwegian-born piano tuner at musical instrument factory Lyon and Healy on Fullerton Avenue. His oldest son worked as a pattern maker at a clothing factory, while 19-year-old-son worked as a file assistant with an electric parts manufacturer.</p><br>
<p>The Stoner House, in Fresno County, California near Sanger, California, was built in 1910. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. The listing included two contributing buildings  on 19.7 acre.</p><br>
<p>The house, also known as Stoner Mansion, is a Craftsman in style. It is characterized as a bungalow but it is larger than small bungalows in urban areas. It has a 360-degree view from the top of a knoll in "beautiful Tivy Valley." It is a one-and-a-half-story 36x59 ft building with four gables.</p><br>
<p>A two-level wood frame barn 36x60 ft is the one outbuilding.</p><br>
<p>It is located at 21143 E. Weldon Ave.</p><br>
<p>The Building at 399 West Fullerton Parkway is a historic apartment building at 399 West Fullerton Parkway in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. Built in 1926, the seventeen-story building was developed and marketed as luxury cooperative apartments for Chicagos affluent residents. Cooperative apartments, in which residents were part owners of the building and controlled its management and who could buy units, became popular with Chicagos upper class in the 1920s due in part to successful marketing by developers. The apartments at 399 West Fullerton offered an attractive location with lakeside views and modern amenities, including parking space and chauffeur service for the increasingly popular automobile. Architects McNally and Quinn designed the French Renaissance Revival building; their design includes a brick exterior with classically ornamented stone on the first three stories, decorative balustrades and window surrounds on the upper floors, and two small, steep hip roofs atop the projected sections of the facade.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 22, 2007.</p><br>
<p>The Talman West Ridge Bungalow Historic District is a residential historic district in the West Ridge neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. 181 of the districts 272 buildings are either brick Chicago bungalows or older stucco bungalows built from 1919 to 1930. As homeownership became more affordable in early twentieth century Chicago, the bungalow became popular for its easily and cheaply replicated design, and tens of thousands of the homes were built throughout the city. West Ridge, a lightly developed area on Chicagos northern border, was typical of the neighborhoods that were dominated by new bungalows. While a variety of developers and architects built the districts bungalows in distinctive fashions, the homes similar designs and consistent setbacks from the street give the district a cohesive appearance.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 10, 2008.</p><br>
<p>The Fresno Memorial Auditorium, at 2425 Fresno St. in Fresno, California, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994. Besides the one contributing building, the listing included two contributing objects and a contributing site on 2.9 acre.</p><br>
<p>It has also been known as Veterans Memorial Auditorium. It was built during 1935–36 to accommodate a wide range of activities and performances. To take just one arbitrary example, Tallulah Bankhead performed in The Little Foxes here on January 9, 1941.</p><br>
<p>It was designed in Moderne and Art Deco style by "Allied Architects of Fresno&quot it was built by contractor Trewhitt & Shields Company.</p><br>
<p>The Coalinga Polk Street School, in Coalinga, California, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 and destroyed by an earthquake in 1983.</p><br>
<p>Also known as Old Polk Street School, it was located at S. 5th and E. Polk streets in Coalinga and was built in 1908.</p><br>
<p>Its bell tower is on display at the R.C. Baker Museum in Coalinga.</p><br>
<p>It had an irregular plan within a 143x84 ft rectangular area, and had elements of Classical Revival style, esp. in its entrance portico on its north facade.</p><br>
<p>The Fresno Republican Printery Building, at 2130 Kern St. in Fresno, California, was built in 1919. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>It was designed by architects Glass and Butner.</p><br>
<p>Its National Register nomination states:Architecturally, The Fresno Republican Printery Building (1919) is a sophisticated interpretation of the mezzo-mediterranean styles which evolved during Californias regional and rather eclectic architectural revival era (1915-1930). Glass and Butners decidedly refined and personalized transcription of classically defined details, fused with less strict revival forms, produced an elegantly symmetrical commercial facade, which continues to grace the downtown community with its quiet dignity. The rare survival of this building, with its original appearance and function almost entirely intact, has not come about by accident. The historical owners, William Camy and Elaine Camy Barber, have repeatedly avoided selling this remarkable property to insensitive developers, whose interests have generally embraced demolition for expansion of commercial parking ventures. It is,</p><br>
<p>herefore, with a profound sense of responsibility, desirable for The Fresno Republican Printery Building to be recognized as one of the more architecturally eloquent statements in the city center, and as such to be assisted along its way to a careful restoration for a dynamically new, yet historically sensitive use.</p><br>
<p>The Physicians Building in Fresno, California, at 2607 Fresno St., was built in 1926. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>It is a building of office units opening out into a central, interior courtyard topped by a large skylight and clerestory window. It was designed by architect Charles E. Butner and built by contractor R. Pedersen. It is an extraordinary hypbrid of Mediterranean Revival and Italianate styles. Its National Register nomination states:At the time of its design and construction in 1926, the Physicians Building consisted of some twenty-eight rooms, grouped into separate office units which opened out onto a centrally built interior court. With an area of over a thousand square feet, the courtyard was an exceptionally large common space for a building with exterior dimensions of approximately 73 x 85 feet. An octagonal fountain and fish pond, some eight feet across and built of a beige-colored stone, was designed to provide a bench surface as well as atmospheric character for the central axis of the medical building. Rising some 18 feet above a floor surface of highly polished serpentine-green linoleum tile (at the time, a technological wonder which provided the rich tonal range of genuine marble), a superbly detailed skylight allowed natural light to filter into this large court-space through individually set panes of pebbled glass installed below a clerestory roof. Built of some 13 inches of milled and layered Cyma-Recta double curves, the finished woodwork which made up the ceiling&#39;s structural element was painted an off-white, in keeping with the intricacy of its classically Italianate appearance. Eight quarter columns with simple striped and banded crests at capital height, as well as four corner columns, completed the formal symmetry of this elegant medical reception area.Originally located at the edge of town, adjacent to residential areas bordering to the east and west, Physicians Building offered a particularly handsome entrance elevation along its frontage on Fresno Street. Its clean, white stucco walls (over a brick substructure) contrasted brilliantly with a typically-Californian red-tile roof. Exterior details were markedly subtle, a factor contributing to the building having been mislabelled as simply "Spanish Style." Sash-type screened windows with full cast projecting sills; a recessed arched entrance positioned on the central axis, with a radial fan window over double french-style doors; a simple chamfered projecting base (Plinth) which banded the entire building; and the formal, engraved Roman Majuscules denoting Physicians Building; were all details more in keeping with the stricter tenets of the Italianate mode. Window trims and door casements were painted an: electric thalo blue-green, and the front six paired windows were shielded by brilliantly striped canvas awnings — additions of raw color reminiscent of the lively theatricality of mezzo-mediterranean cultures.During the late 1960s, Physicians Building suffered an unfortunate aesthetic injustice when it was "modernized" by individuals insensitive to its architectural significance as a Mediterranean revival hybrid.</p><br>
<p>It has also been known as Civic Center Professional Building.</p><br>
<p>Twining Laboratories, at 2527 Fresno St. in Fresno, California, was built in 1930. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>It was designed in Mediterranean Revival style by architect Charles E. Butner and built by contractors Fisher & McNulty to serve as a chemical testing lab.</p><br>
<p>It was modified by additions in 1935, 1942, and 1943.</p><br>
<p>The Buckridge Ranch House, near Point Arena, California, was built in 1869. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>It is located on the Garcia River near Buckridge Road, about 5 mi from Point Arena.</p><br>
<p>It is an I-house, apparently two rooms wide and one room deep.</p><br>
<p>Its significance is stated in the National Register nomination:The Buckridge Ranch House is an excellent example of a building form that first arrived in the United States with English settlers in the seventeenth century and continued to be built in one guise or another for over 2OO years. This kind of building, called an I—house, has a rectangular form, two stories with two rooms on each, and a symmetrical facade. A side—facing gable roof is usually present. In the Virginia and the Carolinas a full—width front porch became a common feature. I—houses, like other early vernacular building types, used design principles that were of proven utility and were passed from builder to builder by word of mouth. The builder of the Buckridge Ranch House was probably not trying to design a house similar to those popular in the American Southeast. That was an unintended result of an effort to construct a simple, functional residence. The building displays all the characteristics of a Tidewater I-house (form, height, fenestration, roof, and porch) in an unusually pure example. The board-and-batten siding is typical of the early settlement of California, while the log porch supports add a rustic note. It is the only unadorned I—house in the Point Arena area.</p><br>
<p>The Frolic was a brig which sank northeast of Point Cabrillo, near Caspar, California. Historians have called it "the most significant shipwreck on the west coast". Its shipwreck site, later known as "Pottery Cove" or "Frolic Cove", was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as Frolic  in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The ship was built in Baltimore.</p><br>
<p>It was on return from trading in China with a load of porcelain and perhaps opium when it sank.</p><br>
<p>The opium-trading brig Frolic wrecked on a reef north of Point Cabrillo, a few miles from what is now Mendocino in 1850; the investigation of the wreck by agents of Henry Meiggs led to the discovery of the coast redwood forests of the Mendocino area and the beginning of the timber trade that would drive the local economy for decades. Mendocino itself was founded in 1852 as a logging community for what became the Mendocino Lumber Company, and was originally named Meiggsville after Meiggs.</p><br>

<p>The Mendocino County Museum is the state repository for the Frolic. Dr. Thomas Layton has donated a vast collection to the Mendocino County Museum to add to its own collection</p><br>
<p>The wreckage of the Frolic was supposedly rediscovered in 1984 and was the subject of a 2003 episode of the History Channel series Deep Sea Detectives entitled "Gold Rush Disaster: The Frolic".</p><br>

<p>The Middle Cemetery is an historic cemetery on Main Street in southern Lancaster, Massachusetts. Established in 1798, it is the town&#39;s third oldest cemetery, with active burials taking place until 1969. The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2019.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Lancasters Middle Cemetery is located south of the towns current village center, on the east side of Main Street (Massachusetts Route 70), south of the Nashua River. It occupies a roughly rectangular lot about 1.5 acre in size, fronted by a low stone retaining wall and fringed by woodlands, fields, and a railroad right-of-way to its east. Two entrances in the wall provide access, marked by granite posts, and vehicular circulation within the cemetery is provided by unpaved tracks. Burials in the cemetery include descendants of many of the towns early settlers (who are themselves mostly interred in the nearby Old Settlers Burying Ground), and the site of Lancaster&#39;s first and second meeting houses is marked near its northeast corner.</p><br>
<p>Lancaster was founded in 1643, and originally included land now part of several surrounding towns. Its first meeting house was built on this parcel in 1657; it was burned (along with all the other buildings in the town) in a 1675 Native American attack in King Philip&#39;s War. The second meeting house, built on the same site, was also burned by Natives, in 1704. The town center was then moved north to its present location. This site remained otherwise vacant until 1798, when the town acquired one acre for use as a cemetery, its first two cemeteries nearing capacity. Another half acre was acquired in 1842. The last known burial took place here in 1969.</p><br>
