<p>The Richard Cluever House is a historic house at 601 1st Avenue in Maywood, Illinois. Built in 1913–14, the house was designed by noted Prairie School architect John S. Van Bergen. Van Bergen worked for Frank Lloyd Wright before starting his own practice, and like many of his early designs, the Cluever House closely resembles Wrights work. The house features many verandas and balconies and rows of casement windows, providing views of the nearby Des Plaines River. Landscape architect Jens Jensen designed the houses surroundings, which include a garden between the house and the river.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 17, 1977.</p><br>
<p>Manuel&#39;s Tavern is a historic tavern in the Poncey–Highland district of Atlanta, Georgia. Established by Manuel Maloof in 1956, the location is notable as a meeting place for influential people in the Democratic Party. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2020.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Manuel&#39;s Tavern was established in 1956 by Manuel Maloof. The building itself is a commercial building from around 1922. To encourage discussions between patrons, Maloof banned live music and jukeboxes in the establishment.</p><br>
<p>The bar is notable as a venue and meeting place for members of the Democratic Party. In 1970, Jimmy Carter announced his gubernatorial campaign in the bar. In 2015, President Barack Obama visited the bar during a visit to Atlanta, playing a game of darts at the location. Maloof himself was politically active, being elected to the DeKalb County Board of commissioners in 1974.</p><br>
<p>In the 1980s, two additional locations were opened on Memorial Drive and near Norcross, Georgia, though both locations closed within a short time. In 1984, the tavern hosted a stage production of As You Like It, leading to what would eventually become Shakespeare Tavern, a prominent playhouse and acting group in Atlanta. In 2015, Brian Maloof, son of Manuel Maloof, sold the bar to developers. The bar closed in December of that year for extensive renovations, with the bar reopening in July the next year. In 2017, plans were unveiled by Manuels grandson for a spin-off eatery in Grant Park, called Mannys Grant Park Pub. On May 29, 2020, the tavern was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>In November 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Maloof announced that the tavern was experiencing financial difficulties and could possibly close by the end of the year. Following this, a GoFundMe was set up with a goal of raising $75,000 for the tavern. This goal was met within the first 24 hours, and within several days had raised over $180,000 for the tavern.</p><br>
<p>Marble High School is a school and historical site preserved by the National Register of Historic Places located in Marble, Colorado. It was built in 1910, and is the only surviving building in Marble that utilizes marble in its construction, despite the name of the town. It is currently owned by Marble Historical Society, who operate the building as a museum.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Background</h3><br>
<p>Marble High School is located at 412 Main Street in Marble, Colorado. The town was founded in northern Gunnison County in 1899 by settlers and miners. A surge in the population of the town began in 1905, when the Colorado-Yule Marble Company was founded to mine the marble deposits found in the area. The marble around the town is known as Yule Marble, and is considered to be some of the finest and purest marble in the world. Yule marble from the town has been used in the construction of places such as:</p><br>
<p>Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.</p><br>
<p>Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery</p><br>
<p>Colorado State Capitol Building in Denver, Colorado</p><br>
<p>Arkansas State Capitol Building in Little Rock, Arkansas</p><br>
<p>Utah State Capitol Building in Salt Lake City, Utah</p><br>
<p>San Francisco City Hall in San Francisco, California</p><br>
<p>The success of the Colorado-Yule Marble Company and the local mining operations caused a significant population spike. The town grew from 150 inhabitants in 1905 to approximately 1,500 by the year 1915. The major increase in residents made the need for the town to build a new schoolhouse.</p><br>
<h3>Design and construction</h3><br>
<p>Construction efforts began in 1910 and ran until the school opened in 1912. The design of the structure can be described as "pattern-book", a common style for schoolhouses in the time period it was built in. The building has changed very little since its construction, and still contains much of its original furnishings and interior.</p><br>
<p>When describing the structure, Barbara Sudler of the National Park Service stated:</p><br>
<p>"...the Marble High School exhibits Craftsman-style influences, which can be seen in the form of its overhanging eaves, "elephantine" marble porch piers, and nine-over-one windows... The Marble High School is a symmetrically arranged, two-story, side-gabled, wood-frame building with a raised marble foundation and a marble porch. The building has shiplap siding and is painted white with green trim, the colors of the Colorado-Yule Marble Company, which donated the original paint for the school. The building footprint is U-shaped; the inset bay at the rear of the building leads to an entrance to the furnace room."</p><br>
<p>Despite the name of the town, Marble High School is the only surviving structure in Marble to feature Yule Marble in its construction.</p><br>
<h3>Functions</h3><br>
<p>The school was completed and opened to the children of Marble in 1912. As many of the marble workers in the town had arrived from Italy, a number of the classes were taught in both English and Italian. The first teacher at the school was A.R. Ambrosini, an Italian immigrant. The curriculum of the school was centered around these things: English language lessons and classes related to the marble production of the town. These latter classes included subjects such as mechanical drawing, design, architecture, and sculpting.</p><br>
<p>The prosperity and population of the town dwindled massively during World War I when a majority of the towns 1,500 residents returned to their native Italy to serve in the Italian Army. By 1918, the population of the town had dropped to approximately 50 residents. The exodus of the towns craftsmen and both the Great Depression and World War II effectively doomed Marble, and in 1948 the Gunnison Watershed School District opted to close the high school.</p><br>
<h2>Restoration</h2><br>
<h3>Museum</h3><br>
<p>The high school is currently home to a museum operated by the Marble Historical Society, who came into possession of the building in 1985. Up until that time, the building had been left abandoned and empty for decades. The Marble Historical Society refurbished and renovated the building, restoring it to its original appearance and state. The museum features original furnishings, interiors, and items from the town. Visitors are able to tour the museum in the spring and summer months.</p><br>
<p>Cassels&#39; Store is a historic structure in McIntosh, Georgia. The structure consists of the remains of a store built in 1887. In 1983, the site was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The store was built by Robert Quarterman Cassels in 1887 on the site of a previous store in McIntosh, Georgia. The general store, located across from McIntoshs railroad depot, stood three stories tall and had an elevator. The store was officially known as R. Q. Cassels and Sons Store and was operated by Robert and his two sons. Following Roberts death in 1900, his two sons continued to operate the store until 1928. Upon its closing, the building fell into ruin, and today only some of the original structure remains. On August 5, 1983, the structure was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Gumbo Point Site is a Native American archaeological site in Saline County, Missouri, located near the Missouri River north of the city of Malta Bend. The site was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1969.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Excavations since 1939 at Gumbo Point Archeological Site have produced numerous artifacts which indicate the results of cultural contact between the Little Osage and the Missouri Indian tribes. Archaeologists believe that the site will continue to produce significant remains.</p><br>
<p>Bruce McMillan summarized the history and significance of the site:</p><br>
<p>he Missouria occupied the Utz site on the Pinnacles until sometime after their initial contact with Europeans. Based on Bourgmont’s description of the Missouria village, Bray believes that some of the tribe had already moved by 1714 from their ridgetop village to the Petitesas (Teteseau) Plain, an extensive prairie on the floodplain. The site, known as Gumbo Point (Chapman 1959b:1–3), would certainly have given the tribe better access to Fort Orleans and, after the fort was abandoned, to traders ascending the Missouri River.</p><br>
<p>France ceded Louisiana to Spain in November 1762, but it was five years later before a Spanish expedition reached St. Louis (Foley 1989:31–32). The advent of Spanish rule terminated what had been nearly a century of French domination and control of the Missouria and Osage tribes.</p><br>
<p>Spanish officials, suspicious of the Big Osage because of their raids against tribes friendly to Spain, adopted harsh measures against the Big Osage, Little Osage, and Missouria (Chapman 1959b:4). This led to a turbulent period in the lives of many tribes including the Missouria. They occupied Gumbo Point until the late eighteenth century when they finally moved west following a series of depredations by the Sauk and Fox, as well as smallpox epidemics. By 1794, the Missouria tribe was reported to have been virtually destroyed, with a few survivors joining the Little Osage and the Kansa, while a larger group numbering about 80 joined the Otoe on the Platte River (Schweitzer 2001:448). The Missouria were removed along with the Otoe in 1882 to Oklahoma, where the last full-blooded Missouria Indian died in 1907 (Berry 1936:113, 120).</p><br>
<p>The Guthrey Archeological Site is a Native American archaeological site in Saline County, Missouri, located near the Missouri River east of the city of Miami, Missouri. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Guthrey Site is the earliest known Oneota occupation area in Missouri. Oneota was a general cultural growth which developed in an area bounded by lines drawn from St Louis to Kansas City, due north to the Minnesota River, east to Aztalan (Wisconsin), and south to Cahokia in East St. Louis. Supported by a subsistence economy, the Oneota peoples hunted, fished, gardened, and gathered wild food plants. Occupation dates are estimated as 1350 to 1400, with the possibility for both earlier and later habitation. Archaeological investigation was undertaken in the summer of 1964.</p><br>
<p>The Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad Depot is a disused railroad depot and train station listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is located at 119 Pitkin Avenue next to the still-in-use Grand Junction station in downtown Grand Junction, Colorado.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<h3>Location</h3><br>
<p>The town of Grand Junction was founded on September 26, 1881, by the Grand Junction Town Company. The founder of the town, George A. Crawford, was a Civil War veteran and President of the Grand Junction Town Company. He was accompanied by William McGinley, J. Clayton Nichols, and four unidentified companions. By 1882, the settlement had expanded into a much larger town. The town had become known for its agriculture, trade, mining, and as a stop for stagecoaches. The community leaders broke a deal with the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad to bring their western route through the town. The first train arrived at Grand Junction on November 22, 1882, cementing the town&#39;s place as a major settlement on the Colorado Western Slope.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Construction</h3><br>
<p>Prior to the construction of the station, there had been a number of different smaller stations and repair yards built with simple-log structures. By 1905, the town of Grand Junction had grown to approximately 7,000 inhabitants. This led to the decision to build a new station, much larger and more ornate than any before it. Construction efforts began on the station on April 6, 1905. The design of the depot was that of Henry John Schlacks, an architect from Chicago known later in life for designing churches, on behalf of the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad and the William Simpson Construction Company of Denver, Colorado.</p><br>
<h3>Expense</h3><br>
<p>The station was built at a considerable cost and grandeur for both the time and location it was built in. The design called for $60,000 (over $1.5 million in 2020), with a further $15,000 (approx. $400,000) being spent to renovate and improve the grounds around the station. The design of the station can be described as Italian-Renaissance. The primary material used is white brick with terracotta used for accent and ornamentation. The choice in building material, design, and scale made the station the most handsome, expensive, and sizable railroad depot in the region.</p><br>
<h3>Operations</h3><br>
<p>One of the most notable routes to pass through the station was that of the California Zephyr. The California Zephyr was the last major privately owned and operated railway network in the United States. Although the route still exists under Amtrak&#39;s successor to the original California Zephyr, the stop was moved next door to the Grand Junction station in 1992.</p><br>
<p>Other notable routes include the Desert Wind line between Chicago and Los Angeles, and the Pioneer that ran between Chicago and East Bay. Both services rerouted to stop at Grand Junction station in 1983. The National Park Service describes the most significant years of the station as being between 1925 and 1949.</p><br>
<p>Amtrak last stopped at the station in 1992 before moving next door to Grand Junction station.</p><br>
<h2>Today</h2><br>
<p>The station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 8, 1992. Over the years, the station has fallen into a state of disrepair. The windows are boarded and the interior has become largely dilapidated. The exterior of the structure can be described as being in a fair condition, with much of its original features, facades, and decorations remaining intact.</p><br>
<p>In 2016, real estate developers Veronica Sanchez and Dustin Anzures bought the building and are planning to restore it in 2024.</p><br>
<p>The Lyme–East Thetford Bridge is a historic bridge over the Connecticut River between Lyme, New Hampshire, and East Thetford, Vermont. From the New Hampshire side it carries East Thetford Road, which becomes Vermont Route 113 as it enters Vermont. A Parker truss bridge completed in 1937, it is 471 ft long. The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2020.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Lyme–East Thetford Bridge is located in a rural setting between the village of East Thetford on the Vermont side and Lyme village 1 mi to the east in New Hampshire. It consists of two Parker truss spans, set on concrete abutments and a central concrete pier. The trusses are fabricated out of rolled steel I-beams, and the main deck is steel covered by asphalt.</p><br>
<p>The bridge location was the site of a ferry as early as 1780. A bridge is documented at this site in the 1840s, and a bridge built in the 1890s was destroyed by flooding in 1936. The present bridge was constructed as a replacement for the latter bridge, its abutments and piers built higher as a defense against future flooding. The bridge trusses were fabricated by the American Bridge Company, and it was largely funded by the federal government through the Works Progress Administration. The bridge is fairly typical of truss bridges built in Vermont at the time, and is the longest two-span Parker truss in the state of New Hampshire. It is one of five Parker truss bridges spanning the Connecticut River.</p><br>
<p>The Huning Highlands Historic District is a historic district in Albuquerque, New Mexico which encompasses the entirety of the Huning Highlands neighborhood. The district is bounded by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue to the north, Locust Street to the east, Iron Avenue to the south, and the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad tracks to the west, covering an area of about 0.3 square miles. The neighborhood was Albuquerque&#39;s first residential subdivision and was mostly developed between the 1880s and 1920s. It is known for its high concentration of Victorian and early 20th-century houses. The district was added to the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties in 1976 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway reached Albuquerque in 1880, fueling land speculation as investors hoped to profit from its arrival. The New Mexico Town Company, formed by local businessmen Franz Huning, Elias S. Stover, and William Hazeldine, succeeded in attracting the railroad facilities to their chosen site about 1.5 mi from the existing community at Old Town. The 3.1 square miles parcel they assembled quickly developed into the booming community of New Town—todays Downtown. Huning also owned land in the rolling sandhills further to the east, which was known as the Highlands due to its elevation. In 1880, the land was platted as the first subdivision to be added to the original townsite. This new neighborhood was named Hunings Highland Addition, which later shifted to Huning Highlands.</p><br>
<p>The neighborhood was laid out by civil engineer Walter G. Marmon, who named the main north-south streets Arno, after Franz Hunings son, Walter and Edith after his own son and daughter, and Broadway, because "every town should have a Broadway". The uppermost street of the gently sloping neighborhood was named High Street. The Highlands quickly became one of Albuquerques most popular residential areas and was home to many of the city&#39;s prominent early residents. Unlike the old Hispanic neighborhoods like Old Town, Barelas, and Atrisco, Huning Highlands was primarily built by recently arrived Anglo-Americans and European immigrants. As such, the houses in the neighborhood reflected styles and materials popular in the eastern and Midwestern United States—Queen Anne, Italianate, and other Victorian styles—rather than traditional regional forms. Most of the houses were built using prefabricated trim and architectural elements in a mix-and-match approach not adhering to any particular style, though some are more cohesive.</p><br>
<p>The neighborhood continued to fill in between the 1880s and 1920s, by which time it was almost completely built up. Residents enjoyed amenities like Highland Park, one of the city&#39;s oldest public parks, the Old Main Library, and an electric streetcar line which went into service in 1911. However, as the city continued to grow, many wealthy residents abandoned the older inner-city neighborhoods in favor of the more suburban developments further to the east. By the 1970s, Huning Highlands had become a relatively poor neighborhood consisting largely of absentee-owned rental housing.</p><br>
<p>The Huning Highlands Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 and in 1980, the Albuquerque City Council approved the city&#39;s first Historic Overlay Zone for the neighborhood. The city designation requires approval from the Landmarks and Urban Conservation Commission for any alterations to contributing properties in the district and provides tax incentives for home restoration projects. These actions had a positive effect on the neighborhood and led to many of the historic houses being restored. According to the Huning Highlands Historic District Association, the percentage of properties that were considered "blighted or substandard" decreased from 52% in 1976 to 17% in 1986 and was estimated at less than 5% by 2005.</p><br>
<h2>Notable buildings</h2><br>
<p>Cocoa Junior High School is a historic school building in Cocoa, Florida . Built in 1923-24, it is one of the oldest remaining Rosenwald Schools in Florida. After the school closed in 1954, the building served as a community center and later as an African-American history museum.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Cocoa Junior High School was built between 1922 and 1924. Part of the funding for the school came from the Julius Rosenwald Fund and it served African American students. In 1938, teachers Harry T. Moore and John E. Gilbert sued the school district in order to receive equal pay for black teachers. Gilbert v. Board of Public Instruction of Brevard County reached the Florida Supreme Court, where the court ruled in favor of the district.</p><br>
<p>It became Monroe High School in 1947 when it began to serve grades 10-12. Following the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision which desegregated American public schools, the school was closed and pupils were sent to integrate local public schools.</p><br>
<p>The building was acquired by the City of Cocoa and turned into a community center. Renamed the Harry T. Moore Center, it was named for Harry T. Moore, a local civil rights advocate. Moore and his wife had been assassinated three years earlier on Christmas Day 1951 and are believed to be the first civil rights activists to be assassinated during the movement.</p><br>
<p>In 2014 the building was renovated for use as an African American history museum. It is currently a site on Florida&#39;s Black Heritage Trail.</p><br>
<p>In 2019 Cocoa Junior High School was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Pacesetter Gardens Historic District is a historic district encompassing twelve townhouses along South Lowe Avenue in Riverdale, Illinois. The townhouses were built in 1960 by Harry J. Quinn, a developer who constructed and advocated for multi-family housing. Prior to 1960, Riverdale was mainly a community of single-family homes; Pacesetter Gardens and another nearby development by Quinn diversified the city&#39;s housing and made it easier for lower-income residents to live there. Quinn, who was also an architect, designed the buildings, which feature simple exteriors with box bay windows and a horizontal emphasis. Ten of the twelve townhouses have eight units, while the remaining two have four and six respectively. Quinn planned each unit according to minimum house design, a technique popular with housing reformers that emphasized compactness and eliminated less essential rooms such as hallways and dining rooms.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 16, 2005.</p><br>
<p>The Whittlesey House is a historic house in the Huning Highlands neighborhood of Albuquerque, New Mexico. It was built in 1903 by architect Charles Frederick Whittlesey, who briefly lived there with his family, and currently houses the Albuquerque Press Club. The building is a rustic, three-story log and stone structure based on Norwegian Vernacular architecture, which is highly unusual for New Mexico.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties in 1975 In 1979, it was designated an Albuquerque city landmark.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was designed and built by Charles Frederick Whittlesey, who was in Albuquerque working on the Alvarado Hotel. It was originally intended to be a communal residence for the clerks and draftsmen at his architectural office and was named "Bungalow Barracks" with this in mind. Describing the planned house in 1902, the Albuquerque Journal wrote</p><br>
<p>Whittlesey bought land for the project at the edge of the city, near the high point of the Huning Highlands neighborhood, in December, 1902. By the following July, the house was reported to be nearly finished. The house was of log construction and built in the style of a Norwegian villa. Whittlesey briefly lived there with his family, but was frequently away supervising construction of various projects. By 1908, he had sold the property and was living in California.</p><br>
<p>From 1920 to 1960, the house was the residence of Clifford Hall McCallum, a business owner and socialite who entertained prominent guests including William Randolph Lovelace II, Clinton Anderson, and Clyde Tingley there. She also converted the stable and parts of the house into rental units for extra income. In 1960, Lambda Chi Alpha purchased the building for use as a fraternity house. Since 1973, it has housed the Albuquerque Press Club, a private social club originally catering to local journalists.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Whittlesey House is a three-story, split-level log building on a stone foundation. It is built into a hillside with a 10 ft wide veranda, supported by rough-hewn logs, surrounding three sides at the second-floor level. The main part of the house is two stories with a wide Dutch gable roof, while the rear wing extends to three stories. Susan DeWitt described the building as "an enormously sophisticated log cabin". Whittlesey based the design on a Norwegian villa, with many rustic details. The Albuquerque Journal wrote in 1903:</p><br>
<p>The main living room is on the same level as the veranda and is 60 ft long, with a large fireplace built from black volcanic rock. According to an Albuquerque Journal article from 1994,</p><br>
<p>The Highland Hotel, also known as the Hudson Hotel, is a historic hotel building in the Huning Highlands neighborhood of Albuquerque, New Mexico. It was built in 1906 and operated as a hotel until the 1970s. The building was restored and converted to office space in 1983–84. It is notable as one of the few surviving examples of early-20th-century Commercial Style architecture in the city, which was once common.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a contributing property in the Huning Highlands Historic District in 1978 and has been designated an Albuquerque historic landmark.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Highland Hotel was built in 1906 by Joshua Raynolds, replacing an earlier hotel of the same name that burned down in 1903. The Albuquerque Citizen reported in November 1905,</p><br>
<p>Raynolds also built the neighboring Occidental Life Insurance Building, which was demolished in 1978. The two buildings were stylistically similar but the Occidental Building was one story taller.</p><br>
<p>The new Highland Hotel had commercial storefronts on the first floor, and hotel rooms on the second and third floors. It was renamed the Hudson Hotel in 1922 and remained in operation under that name as late as 1976. By the 1980s, the building was vacant and infested with bats. In 1983-84, the hotel was restored and converted to office space as part of the Union Square redevelopment. The project was completed by Hutchinson, Brown & Partners.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Highland Hotel is a three-story brick building exhibiting relatively simple Chicago School or Commercial style architecture. It has a symmetrical 12-bay front elevation, with each bay topped by a Romanesque arch except for the two central bays, which share a single, larger arch. The second and third floors are separated by recessed spandrels and the ground floor has a symmetrical glass storefront with three entrances. The building is topped by a cornice and parapet with modest ornamental brickwork.</p><br>
<p>The Brown County Courthouse, located at 601 Oregon Street in Hiawatha, is the seat of government of Brown County, Kansas. Hiawatha has been the county seat since 1858. The courthouse was built from 1925 to 1926 by contractor Harvey E. Wood.</p><br>
<p>Architect William Earl Hulse & Company of Hutchinson, Kansas designed the courthouse in the Neoclassical style. The courthouse is three stories and faces north. It is constructed of limestone and concrete. It is located on spacious landscaped grounds in the center of the city. The north and south sides are nearly identical and both have entrances, with the north side having three. Four Corinthian columns rise from the second story to the third story. The courthouse is part of the Hiawatha Courthouse Square Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The current courthouse is the third structure used as a courthouse. The first courthouse was a frame, two-story structure built in 1858 at a cost of $2,000; it was demolished in 1880. The second courthouse was a two-story brick structure built in 1879 for $20,000 by James A. McGonigle and designed by Erasmus T. Carr.</p><br>
<p>William Earl Hulse & Company also designed the Barton County Courthouse, the Kiowa County Courthouse, the Osage County Courthouse, the Pawnee County Courthouse, the Reno County Courthouse, the Wallace County Courthouse, and the Wichita County Courthouse.</p><br>
<p>The Karl Vogt Building is a historic building at 6811 Hickory Street in Tinley Park, Illinois. Merchant and German immigrant Karl Vogt, the brother of future village president Henry Vogt, built the building in 1872. While Vogt expected the building would house workers on a planned Rock Island Railroad junction in Tinley Park, the junction was canceled after the Great Chicago Fire, and the building&#39;s construction costs bankrupted Vogt. The building has an Italianate design, a popular choice in the mid-to-late nineteenth century; it is the only example of the style in Tinley Park. Its design includes a two-story porch with balustrades on each floor, tall windows with limestone lintels and keystones, and a cornice with ornamental brackets and moldings.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 21, 1988.</p><br>
<p>In December 2023, after completely renovating the house, Banging Gavel Brews opened a brewery and restaurant in the building.</p><br>
<p>Theodore Parker Unitarian Universalist Church is a historic church building at 1859 Centre Street in the West Roxbury neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. Built in 1900 to a design by West Roxbury native Henry M. Seaver, it is a locally significant example of Normanesque architecture, and is adorned by stained glass windows created by Louis Comfort Tiffany and his firm. The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020. The congregation it houses was founded in 1712, and is named for the influential Transcendentalist and abolitionist Theodore Parker, who was the congregation&#39;s minister in the 1840s.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and history</h2><br>
<p>The Theodore Parker Church stands in the village center of West Roxbury, on the west side of Centre Street at Corey Street. It is a large stone structure, built out of pink granite. It is covered by a large gabled roof (originally slate, now asphalt), with a heavy square tower at the front right corner. The tower houses entrance facing both streets on the ground floor, narrow slit windows on a middle level, and a belfry with round-arch louvered openings. It is topped by a crenellated parapet. The front-facing gable has a large rose window at its center, while a side gable facing Corey Street has a triptych of three tall and slender stained glass windows. Connected to the main church building via a breezeway is an older church building, designed by Alexander Wadsworth Longfellow Jr. in 1890 and now serving as a parish hall.</p><br>
<p>The West Roxbury congregation was founded in 1712, when the colonial legislature authorized a parish in the western part of Roxbury (then a separate community from Boston). Originally conservative Protestant in outlook, the congregation became more liberal in 1830s. Theodore Parker, a leading figure the development of Transcendentalism in Massachusetts, was the church&#39;s minister 1837–1846. Its church was damaged by fire in 1890, at which time the Longfellow building was constructed as a replacement. Just ten years later, the growing congregation built the main sanctuary, retaining local architect Henry Seaver for its design. It is the only known work of Seaver in his home town. Its stained glass windows were designed by Tiffany studios (some probably by Louis Comfort Tiffany personally), and were installed between 1894 and 1927.</p><br>
<p>North Cemetery is a historic cemetery at 114 Montague Street in Leverett, Massachusetts, United States. The 1 acre municipal cemetery is located on the west side of the street about 1 mi north of Leverett center. The cemetery, whose oldest documented burials date to 1776, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020. Its burials include some of the town&#39;s early residents.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>North Cemetery is located about 1 mi north of the Leverett Center, the town&#39;s main village center, on the west side of Montague Street. The 1 acre cemetery is roughly rectangular, with a low fieldstone wall ringing it. There are two pedestrian entrances in the wall facing the street, and there is no formal circulation pattern. Prominent markers in the cemetery include a large boulder that serves as a marker for the Fishel family site, and a series of 19th-century marble obelisks in its northern section.</p><br>
<p>The cemeterys earliest documented burial is the grave of Abraham Kellogg, who is said to have died in 1776 fighting in the American Revolutionary War. Also buried here is Joseph Clary (d. 1780), an early resident of the area who signed the petition for the separation of Leverett from Sunderland, and served as the new towns first town clerk and selectman. The cemetery includes burials of people who lived far away but trace their ancestry to Leverett&#39;s early families. Burials have continued into the 21st century; there are 78 marked sites.</p><br>
<p>The Susanville Railroad Depot is a National Register of Historic Places property in Lassen County, California in the city of Susanville. Originally constructed for the Fernley and Lassen Railway  in 1927 to replace an existing station building, it was closed in 1979, and in 1987 it was saved from being burnt by the fire department  after local protests, being purchased instead by the Lassen Land and Trails Trust, which uses it for their office as well as maintaining a small museum.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The station building sits on a 1.3 acre property bought from the Southern Pacific Transportation Company in November 1988. It is 72.5 ft by 20 ft, with a bay window projecting from the center of the South side facing the abandoned railbed. It is a single story stuccoed structure on a concrete foundation under a hipped roof. The exterior is little changed, with double-hung sash windows and wooden doors; the primary change is the removal of the original gutters.</p><br>
<p>The interior was originally divided into three areas, with a waiting room (including lavatories and a phone booth) at the West end, a ticket office in the center (separated from the waiting area by a counter), and at the east end, the express office, which had its own sliding doors on both the track side and the street side of the building. Another counter and a partition separated the ticketing from the express area, so that there was a short hallway from the latter to the waiting room. The original floor was linoleum, the walls pine tongue-and-groove wainscotting with decorative moldings. Other furnishings were also pine, with brass hardware.</p><br>
<p>In the 1950s, the counter on the passenger side of the ticket office was removed, and part of the express room was partitioned off and had its ceiling lowered, with the effect of eliminating the hallway as well. Renovation undid much of this, as well as involving the replacement of damaged fixtures and the installation of a new furnace and a security system. The linoleum was replaced with a painted pattern on the floor. A redwood deck was added at the East end, the parking lot was paved, and the area landscaped with native plants. A section of the original track remains on the south side of the station.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Fernley and Lassen Railway was constructed by the Southern Pacific in 1912–1914 to serve lumbering companies in Lassen County around Westwood, originating at the SP main line in Fernley, Nevada. Passing through Susanville, a depot was opened in a boxcar in April 1913, replaced in September of that year with a combination station/freight shed. By 1927 that facility was proving inadequate, and the current station building was built adjacent to the original station, providing new passenger facilities while the older building served freight and baggage storage only. Passenger service ended in 1933, a victim of the Great Depression, but freight use continued until 1956, when the line was washed out west of town at a trestle. It being uneconomic to repair, rail service ceased on the line, but the station remained in use for office space and storage until October 1979, upon the abandonment of the entire line. The station sat vacant and was vandalized, to the point where in 1987 it was offered to the fire department to be burnt in a training exercise. This sparked opposition, and a nonprofit was formed to purchase and maintain the building, which was renovated starting in 1993 and reopened the following year. In the meantime, the original 1913 structure burned in 1989, leaving the existing 1927 building standing alone.</p><br>
<p>The USA Forest Service awarded two Challenge Cost Share Grants totaling $88,584 for renovation of the interior and exterior of the building.</p><br>
<p>The depot now houses the Trust&#39;s offices as well as a museum. The Bizz Johnson Trail begins at the station and heads west along the old right-of-way. The trust hosts various events at the station including an annual "Rails to Trails" festival in the fall.</p><br>
<p>The La Grange Village Hall, also known as the Lyons Township Hall, is a historic building at 53 S. LaGrange Road in La Grange, Illinois. Built in 1900, the building houses the offices of the village of La Grange and Lyons Township. It historically also hosted most of La Granges community events and is home to an American Legion post. The architecture firm Stiles & Stephens of Chicago designed the building in the Georgian Revival style, which was one of the classically inspired styles popular for large public buildings at the time. The buildings design includes an arched stone entrance flanked by Ionic columns and topped by a balustrade, brick quoins, a bracketed and dentillated cornice, and pedimented dormers on each side of the roof.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 30, 1978.</p><br>
<p>The Sunderlage Farm Smokehouse is a historic smokehouse at 1775 Vista Walk in Hoffman Estates, Illinois.</p><br>
<p>The smokehouse was built circa 1860 as part of the Sunderlage Farm; it and the farmhouse are the only remaining farm buildings in Hoffman Estates. The smokehouse, which was used to cure and hold the farm&#39;s meat supply, is well-preserved compared to other surviving contemporary smokehouses in northeastern Illinois.</p><br>
<p>Its functional design uses the then-popular Greek Revival style and includes brick detailing below the roof line.</p><br>
<p>While the area that is now Hoffman Estates was rural for much of the early nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, its farms were subdivided into suburban housing in the 1960s. The smokehouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 20, 1990.</p><br>
<p>Riverside Cemetery is a historic rural cemetery located at 496 Riverside Street in Waterbury, Connecticut, on the western bank of the Naugatuck River.</p><br>
<p>Dedicated on September 24, 1853, it is 36.4 acre in size and includes winding tree-lined paths, upper and lower ponds and an array of funerary monuments in the gothic, neo-classical, and romantic style. The property also includes many older burials and headstones dating back to the late 1700s which were relocated from the defunct Grand Street burial ground.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>From the late 1700s to the mid 1800s, burials in Waterbury took place at the old burial grounds now known as Library Park on Grand Street. The first suggestion for a new cemetery in Waterbury was made in 1849 by Dr. Amos S. Blake. An association was formed on March 6, 1850 and money was raised through the sale of burial lots.</p><br>
<p>The bronze statue, Wisdom, on the Benedict family monument was designed by Truman Howe Bartlett in 1871 and sculpted by Ferdinand von Miller in 1872.</p><br>
<p>The modern Gothic Hall Memorial Chapel was designed by noted Waterbury architect Robert W. Hill and completed in 1885.</p><br>
<p>The monument to Civil War Colonel John Lyman Chatfield was designed by George Edwin Bissell and was unveiled at a ceremony on September 13, 1887.</p><br>
<p>The Elton Memorial Vase sits at the entrance of the cemetery. It was designed by George Edwin Bissell and cast by Fonderia Galli in 1905. The bronze monument depicts four scenes from the Life of Christ. The first side depicts the adoration of the Wise Men; the second side, the Crucifixion; the third side, the entombment; and the fourth side, the Resurrection. Decorative figures carrying wreaths form the handles with the vase supported by cherubs. The large bronze figures on the side of the vase depict Grief and Faith.</p><br>

<p>The Paul Schweikher House and Studio at 645 S. Meacham Road in Schaumburg, Illinois, is the former home and studio of architect Paul Schweikher. The house, which was designed by Schweikher himself, was built in 1937–38. At the time, Schweikher had achieved prominence through an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art; he later chaired both the Carnegie Mellon School of Architecture and the Yale School of Architecture and received numerous awards for his work. The houses design blends several of the styles which Schweikher worked in throughout his career, with elements of Prairie School, International, Japanese, and vernacular architecture. The one-story house was built with wood, brick, and glass; the simple materials and low roof helped match the house to its natural environment, a landscape designed by Franz Lipp. The inside of the T-shaped house is divided into sleeping, working, and living areas; the working area, which included Schweikhers studio, is physically separate and connected to the main house by a breezeway. The home&#39;s design was praised by contemporary architects, including Ralph Rapson, William Metcalf, and Bertrand Goldberg.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 17, 1987.</p><br>
<p>The Oak Park Village Hall at 123 Madison Street is the center of village government in Oak Park, Illinois. The village hall was built in 1975 as part of a series of public infrastructure improvements intended to prevent white flight from the village. In the late 1960s, as more black residents moved to the east side of Oak Park, preexisting white residents began deinvesting in the neighborhood and moving away. The village responded by investing heavily in the east side and adopting housing policies which discouraged blockbusting and resegregation, ultimately causing the village to become diverse and integrated. The new village hall was a key piece of this plan, as it brought a landmark building to a vulnerable section of the east side. Harry Weese, a nationally prominent Chicago architect, designed the Modernist building. The building&#39;s design includes a brick exterior with a ribbon window along the roof line, an enclosed central courtyard, and a triangular council chamber section with a long front ramp threaded through several brick pylons.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 25, 2014.</p><br>
<p>The River Forest Historic District is a national historic district encompassing much of the village of River Forest, Illinois. The district includes 830 buildings, most of which are houses as the village is almost entirely residential. The oldest structure in the district is the 1831 Bickerdike and Noble sawmill, the first permanent structure built by European settlers in River Forest; residential development began in the mid-nineteenth century and continued through the 1930s. The district has a considerable number of Prairie School houses, including a rare example of an entire block of small-scale Prairie homes. Several works by Frank Lloyd Wright are within the district, including the Winslow House and stable, the Chauncey L. Williams Residence, the Isabel Roberts House, the J. Kibben Ingalls House, and the River Forest Tennis Club. The Prairie School architects William Eugene Drummond, Tallmadge and Watson, Purcell & Elmslie, John S. Van Bergen, and Spencer & Powers designed homes in the district as well. Examples of other popular architectural styles, most prominently Italianate and Classical Revival, can also be found in the district.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 26, 1977.</p><br>
<p>Mahoney Park is a public park on Sheridan Road in the southeast corner of Kenilworth, Illinois. The park opened in 1933 on land donated to the village by the Mahoney family, who required that the land become a park as a condition of their donation. Landscape architect Jens Jensen designed the park; while Jensen designed many private estates in the 1920s, his 1930s work was less prolific and focused on projects with personal significance to him. Jensen&#39;s design for the park was inspired by the Prairie School movement and includes curving paths, wildflowers, islands of shrubbery and trees, bird baths, and seven council rings. The park is the only remaining small park designed by Jensen and is a rare intact example of his work in north suburban Chicago, as many of his larger works were later subdivided.</p><br>
<p>The park was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 10, 1985.</p><br>
<p>Casa Natal de Luis Muñoz Rivera located in Barranquitas, Puerto Rico, is a structure of great political and cultural significance. Built in 1850, it is the place where Luis Muñoz Rivera was born in 1859.</p><br>
<p>The residence is representative of how middle-class Puerto Ricans lived at the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century.</p><br>
<p>In addition to its political and historical value, the structure is a good example of the Creole residential architecture of the interior of the island of Puerto Rico at that time. The house is characterized by the simplicity of its architectural components and by the use of wood, both in the structure as in the details. Its plant is rectangular in shape and has a pitched roof. The main facade stands on a podium, and consists of a balcony adorned by a continuous balustrade and four columns that support the roof of the balcony. In 1959, it was restored and transformed into a library-museum by the Institute of Puerto Rican Culture.</p><br>
<h2>Luis Muñoz Rivera</h2><br>
<p>A Puerto Rican poet, journalist and politician as well as a major figure in Puerto Rico&#39;s struggle for political autonomy, Muñoz Rivera founded the important newspaper La Democracia and collaborated on El Pueblo, El Clamor del País and El Buscapié, among others. As a politician, he served his country as Secretary of State during the autonomic period between 1897 and 1898.</p><br>
<p>After the United States took control of Puerto Rico from Spain in the aftermath of the Spanish–American War under the terms of the Treaty of Paris of 1898, Muñoz Rivera founded the Liberal Party and the Union Party of Puerto Rico and from 1911 to 1916 he was appointed Resident Commissioner in Washington, D.C.</p><br>
<p>The La Grange Village Historic District is a national historic district encompassing a large section of the village of La Grange, Illinois. The district includes over 1000 buildings, most of which are residences. Development in the district began in the 1870s after the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad began serving two stations in La Grange; nearly all of the buildings within the present-day district were built between then and 1930. Several popular architectural styles of the period are represented in the district, including large collections of Prairie School, Queen Anne, and Victorian houses. The district includes three designs by Frank Lloyd Wright as well as works by John S. Van Bergen, Enock Hill Turnock, and J. C. Llewelyn.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 8, 1979.</p><br>
<p>The Morristown Main Street Historic District is a National Register of Historic Places&#39; historic district in Morristown, Tennessee, United States. It is primarily focused on the central business district area of Morristown.</p><br>
<h2>Overview</h2><br>
<p>The historic district established by the City of Morristown to safeguard, preserve, and protect unique and historically significant structures in the city&#39;s downtown area. It comprises mostly commercial buildings along Main Street, and on Henry and Cumberland Streets, which intersect Main Street. The Henry Street Station Post Office is a contributing property to the district, and is an individually listed National Historic Landmark.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is administered by the City of Morristown and the Crossroads Downtown Partnership, 501(c) non-profit organization dedicated towards the redevelopment of downtown Morristown.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Morristowns Main Street area, measuring approximately 1 square miles, arose from the intersection of two railroad lines since the late 19th century. In 1962, Turkey Creek, which bisects the street, flooded and damaged the downtown commercial district. A suburban shopping mall on the citys west side also jeopardized businesses downtown, and the city developed a plan to modernize Main Street by creating an "overhead sidewalk", enabling businesses to form on the second floor of existing buildings while serving as a canopy for passage below. Building owners spent nearly $2 million ($16 million today) upgrading their properties and linking them to ramps, while the government contributed over $5 million to build the elevated walkways. The underground channel for Turkey Creek was also enlarged and rerouted. The project was completed in 1967. The overhead sidewalk system still stands in the downtown area, and is the only walkway system of its kind remaining in the United States.</p><br>
<p>On March 22, 2016, Main Street and the rest of Morristown&#39;s downtown district was officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a historic district after approval from the Tennessee Historical Commission and the National Park Service.</p><br>
<p>Morristown is embarking on a resurrection of the Skymart as a social and commercial hub. It has been made a key element in a greenway master plan for the region. In an effort to renew public interest, city officials, the Crossroads Downtown Partnership, and the Morristown Area Chamber of Commerce hold events in the city&#39;s downtown or the "Skymart District" throughout the year, mainly during the warmer months of May to September.</p><br>
<p>Palacio del Marqués de las Claras or Casino de Arecibo, as it is also known, was built in 1888 by Fernando Fernández Umpierre, Marqués de las Claras. At the end of the 19th century, the Marqués de las Claras distinguished himself as one of the most prominent and wealthy owners of sugar estates in Puerto Rico. He was known for his sponsorship of the arts and cultural events.</p><br>
<p>After the death of the Marqués in 1896, the palace, located in Arecibo barrio-pueblo, became the meeting place of the aristocratic elite of Arecibo. It was the meeting place for the conservative politicians of Puerto Rico, a place to discuss the politics related to the finance and government administration during the Spanish colonial period in Puerto Rico. Currently, the palace is a venue for important social activities. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988,</p><br>
<p>The neoclassical design of the facade makes use of ornamentation to differentiate the piano nobile (the principal floor) of the palace from the first floor. The second level is elegant and refined. The asymmetric entry stands out slightly with ornamental detail.</p><br>
<p>Cambalache Bridge or Puente Francés is a bridge built in 1893 which spans the Río Grande de Arecibo from Cambalache barrio to Tanamá barrio in Arecibo. It is located 100 meters west of Puerto Rico Highway 2, at kilometer 72.</p><br>
<p>Like all bridges of the Compañía de Ferrocarriles de Puerto Rico, the steel to build it was imported from France. The train section from San Juan to Arecibo was completed in 1891, but it was not until 1893 that the Cambalache Bridge, spanning the river, was completed. Before the opening of the Cambalache Bridge, the train ended at Cambalache and passengers and cargo had to cross a temporary wooden bridge on horse or by ox cart. The construction of the Cambalache Bridge, also called the French Bridge, was an important connection for train transport between the cities of the north coast and the estates of Arecibo.</p><br>
<p>The structure of the Cambalache bridge has not undergone significant alterations since its period of greater historical importance and has maintained a degree of integrity in its design, workmanship, materials and setting. The train route is still used for agricultural purposes.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places on July 19, 1995, and on the Puerto Rico Register of Historic Sites and Zones on December 21, 2000.</p><br>
<p>The Lion House, also known as the Hoxey–Cargill House, is a historic building in Columbus, Georgia. The building, located in the High Uptown Historic District, was built in the 1840s and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building was constructed sometime in the 1840s for Dr. Thomas Hoxey, a local physician, with Stephen D. Button of Philadelphia serving as the buildings architect. The name "Lion House" comes from the two statues of Nubian lions near the buildings front entrance. The architectural style of the building is considered Greek Revival with Egyptian influences. The basement of the building housed the entrance to a now closed-in secret tunnel, which is believed to have led to either the Chattahoochee River or an old hotel in the area. During the American Civil War, it is speculated that mules were hidden in the tunnel. In March 1934, the building was documented as part of the Historic American Buildings Survey.</p><br>
<p>During World War II, many historic houses in the area were either demolished or converted to commercial properties, and around this time the Lion House was converted to an office building. After this, the building was divided into 9 apartments, and by the early 1980s the building was a location for prostitution, serving as a "trick house." A 1980 article in the Ledger-Enquirer described how the building had decayed, stating that, “The grandeur of entrance is mocked… by abandoned appliances, occasional “rent due” notices and a chandelier with only a few light bulbs.” In October 1986, a fire destroyed the building&#39;s roof and severely damaged the top floor. In total, the fire caused approximately $90,000 in damages. Shortly after this, the building was donated to the Historic Columbus Foundation, which began repairing the property the following year. In February 1995, the building was sold to a private owner who restored the building to its current condition. Today, tours are given of the building.</p><br>
<p>On January 20, 1972, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places. The building is also a contributing property to the NRHP-listed High Uptown Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The Columbia Park Band Shell is located just across the railroad tracks from the Marshfield Central Avenue Historic District in Marshfield, Wisconsin. The band shell was built in 1931 as a local make-work project similar to those pursued by many rural Wisconsin communities during the Great Depression. Its weekly summer band concerts continue to provide a source of free, local entertainment. The band shell was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<h2>Northside City Park</h2><br>
<p>The block on which the band shell now sits was donated to the city by Samuel Marsh in 1875 to be developed into a park. The land sat idle until the 1890s, when freshly-logged land in the area was being settled by farmers. The subsequent arrival of manufacturers attracted laborers, and the growing population prompted the city to develop a central water supply: a 120-foot steel standpipe in the center of the park block. Meanwhile, St Johns Roman Catholic church was being built on the block north of the park. The church and parks proximity are thought to have bolstered concurrent development.</p><br>
<p>In 1903, a wooden, Victorian-style bandstand was built on the east side of the park to host the summer concerts of Marshfields 135th Medical Regiment Band. During World War I, this regiment carried the wounded from the front lines to medics. In the years after the war, the 135ths twelve-concert summer seasons at the bandstand remained immensely popular.</p><br>
<h2>Band Shell</h2><br>
<p>In 1926, a city engineer deemed the wooden bandstand structurally unsound and recommended its demolition. The summer concerts continued, albeit with the band and spectators level on the lawn. In 1929, plans for a new facility ground to a halt as the nation reeled from the Wall Street Crash. After a series of designs and bids and the removal of the standpipe, construction of the final brick band shell began in 1931. City leaders managed the shell&#39;s construction as a public works project aimed at employing local men displaced from their jobs by the Depression. The city also accepted an offer from the Marshfield Brick Company to supply bricks at a reduced price of ten dollars per thousand.</p><br>
<p>The dome-shaped ceiling of the new band shell, an idea borrowed from indoor theaters to improve acoustics, afforded a more focused, amplified sound. This allowed the band to expand their repertoire beyond marches to more sensitive, nuanced compositions. Supported by a concrete foundation, the rectilinear exterior structure is covered in horizontal brick. Two pilasters frame the stage, laid in vertical bricks and topped with stone panels carved with crossed trumpets and drums. Inside, the shell is composed of cedar and redwood with two storage rooms and two rear-access rest rooms.</p><br>
<h2>Legacy</h2><br>
<p>The shell&#39;s inaugural concert in the summer of 1931 was reportedly attended by over 3,000 community members. The program included marches sprinkled with lighter fare such as the overture from "The Barber of Seville." A column in the News Herald reflected that</p><br>
<p>“Men, women and children cannot live on bread alone. The band concerts where all meet on an equal basis furnishes something besides bread, but nevertheless, decidedly necessary.” These free weekly concerts provided Depression-wearied families with access to free entertainment and an escape from the stress of daily life. Ninety years later, the Marshfield Civic Band still performs free concerts on Wednesday evenings in summer, with the audience circled around on wood benches under the trees.</p><br>
<p>The band shell has served purposes beyond musical entertainment. In 1932, some 6,000 local farmers rallied at the band shell as part of a nationwide strike, demanding increased produce prices that reflected the cost of production. In 2020, the park hosted a student event promoting Black Lives Matter and an outdoor graduation.</p><br>
<p>The Greater Columbus Arts Council  is an arts organization in Columbus, Ohio. The council funds artists and organizations in Central Ohio, and hosts the annual Columbus Arts Festival.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The Greater Columbus Arts Council office is the former Winders Motor Sales Company, a historic building in Downtown Columbus. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2019. The building is one of few early car dealerships remaining in downtown Columbus.</p><br>
<p>The building was constructed in 1916 during a period of commercial development downtown. The building became an early dealership in the city, and an early commercial business as manufacturing work became less common downtown. In later decades, the building was used in numerous ways, including as a tire store and as a plumbing supply shop. In 2020, the Greater Columbus Arts Council moved from its offices in the Chase Tower into the Winder Motor Sales building. The move increases the councils space, gives it street-level space, and will permit open office hours. The building is owned by Connect Realty, which sought the buildings historic listings for tax credits in refurbishing it at a cost of $1.6 million. The realty company owns the adjacent Standard Building, which it has separately listed on historic registers to make restoration more affordable.</p><br>
<p>The Greater Columbus Arts Council opened its public gallery and first exhibition in the building in July 2020.</p><br>
<p>Long Plain Cemetery is a historic cemetery at 19 Depot Road in Leverett, Massachusetts. The 1 acre cemetery is located on the south side of the street about 1.5 mi west of Leverett center. The cemetery, whose oldest documented burials date to 1781, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020. Its burials include some of the town&#39;s early residents, and it remains in active use.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Long Plain Cemetery (also known as Hillsboro Cemetery) is located about 1.5 mi west of the Leverett Center, the towns main village center, on the south side of Depot Road east of its junction with Long Plain Road. The 1 acre cemetery is roughly rectangular, with a picket fence around it. There is a vehicle gate near the western end of the cemetery, with a single lane providing access into its interior. Gravestones are generally set in rows, with the stones facing west. There are larger family plots near the cemeterys edges, and its oldest marked graves are on the eastern side.</p><br>
<p>Marked graves date from 1781 to the 2010s, and the cemetery continues in active use. Leverett was separated from Sunderland in 1774, and its establishment appears to date from that period. The oldest marked grave is that of Jonathan Field, one of the areas early settlers; it is possible that there are older unmarked graves as well. Significant burials, in addition to those of other early area settlers, include those of six of the towns Congregational ministers, and veterans of numerous military conflicts. The cemetery is presently owned and managed by the Leverett Cemetery Association, founded in 1910 to manage several of the town&#39;s older cemeteries.</p><br>
<p>The First Universalist Church is a former Universalist church at 78 Earle Street in Woonsocket, Rhode Island. Built in 1924 and enlarged in 1957, it is a good example of 20th-century Gothic Revival architecture. The congregation for which it was built was established in the 1820s, in part through the efforts of Hosea Ballou, an influential early Universalist minister who also had business interests in Woonsocket. The congregation was disbanded in 2007, and the building now houses the American-French Genealogical Society. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Woonsocket&#39;s former First Universalist Church stands a short way north of downtown Woonsocket, on a small parcel of land at the western corner of Shaw and Earle Streets. Its front section, the original 1924 church, is a two-story Gothic structure built out of buff brick, and set with its long access parallel to Shaw Street, with an ornate main entrance facing Earle Street. Extending along the Earle Street alignment is the single-story 1957 addition, which is separated from the original structure by a square tower, also built in 1957.</p><br>
<p>The history of Universalism in Woonsocket is entwined with the life of Hosea Ballou, one of the most influential figures in the rise of the denomination in the early 19th century. Ballou, a native of New Hampshire, preached widely across New England, and founded what became known as the Hanora Mills in 1828. Universalist groups began meeting in mill space around that time, and the first edifice of the First Universalist Church was constructed on Church and Main Streets in 1840. Its first minister, John Boyden, was a disciple of Hosea Ballou. The congregation grew in size, and construction of the present building in 1924 enabled further growth. The 1957 addition, Modernist in its design, was designed by Boston architect Arland A. Dirlam. The congregation declined over subsequent decades, and was disbanded in 2007. The building has since been acquired by the American-French Genealogical Society for its headquarters. The building is the last surviving reminder of the city&#39;s Universalist history.</p><br>

<p>The Limbach Block refers to the retail center of the village of Clinton in Summit County, Ohio located on Main Street. The National Park Service listed the Limbach Block Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places on November 29, 2001. The anchor business of the Limbach Block was the Limbach Brothers Shoe Manufacturing Company owned by Martin, Adam, and Jacob Limbach.

<p>The Brigham Hill Historic District encompasses a rural 19th-century landscape in central Norwich, Vermont. It includes three late 18th or early 19th century farmsteads, all associated with the Brigham family, whose progenitor, Paul Brigham, was prominent in Vermont politics. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Norwich was chartered in 1761 and settled the following decade. The Brigham Hill area was first settled by Elihu Baxter, who sold 100 acre to Paul Brigham, a native of Connecticut. Brigham settled on the land the following year, and built a new house on the land in 1788. Brigham was prominent in local and state affairs, serving as the states first lieutenant governor after it gained statehood. Two of Brighams sons built houses on land subdivided from the original land, and continued the family farming activity. Five generations of Brighams worked the land in this area, finally selling it off in the 1930s.</p><br>
<p>The district covers 32 acre, centered on the junction of Brigham Hill Road with Tilden Hill Road. Included in this area is open pasture and farmland, three early farmhouses, a c. 1800 English barn, and a bank barn built about 1870. Although the street-facing facades of the houses have been relatively little altered, the rear and sides of the houses have undergone some alterations for modern uses. The Paul Brigham House at 211 Brigham Hill Road, is noted for a particularly fine interior, executed by local craftsman Perez Jones.</p><br>
<p>The Fire District No. 2 Firehouse, also known locally as the Yosemite Engine House, is a historic fire station at 716 Depot Street in Chester, Vermont, United States.

The main vehicle entrance is on the south facade, with a rail-mounted sliding door added in the 20th century. The building&#39;s defining features are its two towers. The north tower is the taller of the two, and was used to dry houses, while the shorter south tower houses the belfry. Both towers are topped by distinctive mansard roofs, each with a molded crown. The second story of the building houses a small meeting hall.</p><br>
<p>Chesters fire district #2 was established in 1871, in the wake of several major fires in the village of Chester Depot. Although its designer is not known, its Second Empire features were probably due to the influence of Frederick Marsh, a local businessman who had built a house in that style nearby, and who served as an engineer in the Yosemite Engine Company, the principal firefighting unit of the district. The buildings vehicle entrance, originally designed for human- or horse-drawn equipment, was enlarged in the 1930s to accommodate engine-powered equipment. The fire district, a separate taxing entity from the town since its creation, was dissolved in 1967, and its properties reverted to the town. It was eventually sold into private hands, and was operated for a short time as a museum by the local historical society before being reacquired by the town in 2018.</p><br>

<p>The Congregational Church of Plainville stands on the south side of West Main Street (Connecticut Route 372) at its junction with Church Street.The main church building is a single-story timber frame structure, covered with a steeply pitched gable roof. The exterior is finished in wooden clapboards, with wooden pseudo-buttresses at the corners and brackets in the roof eaves. The main facade has a 20th-century Colonial Revival entrance at its center, with flanking round-arch windows on either side, and a large six-part gable-arched window above. Each of these features is crowned by a hooded moulding. To the left of the main facade is a square tower, also finished in wooden clapboards, and with similarly decorated windows. Clocks are set on two of the tower faces in diamond-shaped surrounds. Above these is the belfry, with Gothic gabled louvers above. A cornice above the belfry is decorated with densely placed brackets, and the octagonal spire above has slender dormered windows on four faces.</p><br>
<p>Plainville was a part of neighboring Farmington until 1869.

It was designed by New Haven architect Henry Austin, a leading architect of the period in Connecticut. The building&#39;s use of both round-arch Romanesque windows and lance-arched Gothic windows illustrates a tension in church design at the time, in which some Congregationalist churches sought to differentiate themselves from the typically Gothic Roman Catholic buildings.</p><br>
