<p>The Timothy J. Lynch House is a historic house at 416 N. 4th Avenue in Maywood, Illinois. The house, a large Chicago bungalow, was built in 1927. While thousands of bungalows were built in the Chicago area in the 1920s, including many others in Maywood, the Lynch House is unusual both for its size and its level of ornamentation. The house&#39;s design includes a main entrance with arched sidelights, round arched windows in a large front bay, patterned stained glass window panels, and a green tile roof. Like many Chicago bungalows, the design features several elements of Prairie School architecture, such as the geometric designs in its stained glass windows, overhanging eaves, and wood trim on every door and window.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The school was built in 1910 to serve the Atlanta neighborhood of Western Heights, a predecessor of todays English Avenue neighborhood. Additional construction occurred between 1911 and 1930 as the schools enrollment continued to grow. As part of the system of school segregation in the United States, the school was initially only open for White Americans, but in 1950, due to changes in the neighborhoods demographics, it was changed to an African American school. The event has been called "one of the worst racially motivated bombings in the city of Atlanta." The school closed in 1995.</p><br>
<p>Since the school&#39;s closing, the building has remained unoccupied. In 2010, the building was bought by the Greater Vine City Opportunities Program, under the leadership of Mable Thomas, with the intention of converting the building into a community center.

<p>Roberts Memorial United Methodist Church is the second oldest Black congregation in Alexandria, Virginia. Founded in 1834 and originally known as Davis Chapel, it has served a mostly Black community for almost two centuries. It is a member of the United Methodist Church.</p><br>
<p>Built in 1834, the original church building is still in use and is now the oldest African American church structure in Alexandria. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. As well as being a house of worship and community gathering place, it also housed one of the earliest schools for Black children and adults at a time when the laws of Virginia banned the education of African Americans.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Early years</h3><br>
<p>In 1830 approximately 250 free and enslaved African Americans, all members of the dominant Trinity Methodist Church in Alexandria, made known their wish for a church of their own; the white leadership of Trinity was supportive of their plans. They bought lots for $200 in north Alexandria, however further plans were put on hold following Nat Turner&#39;s Rebellion in 1831. In 1834 these first lots were sold and a new property acquired for $350 on South Washington Street, sandwiched between the established Black neighborhoods of ‘the Bottoms’ and ‘Hayti’. The deed to the property stipulated that it be used to build a house of worship for the Methodist Episcopal Church.</p><br>
<p>These Black Americans had been well integrated into the Methodist congregation of Alexandria Station, which had worshiped since 1804 at the Methodist Meeting House, a few blocks north on Washington Street (later renamed Trinity Methodist Church). As was customary, they sat for services in the gallery under supervision of a white pastor. They had their own religious classes and on Sunday afternoons they attended their own prayer meetings and revivals in homes or at Old Zion, a former school house on North Columbus St. One of their members, Cato, had become a well-respected member and orator within the Trinity Congregation. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, the African American members of Trinity wanted their own church. It was only in a self-segregating community of faith, away from whites, that they had the freedom to nurture their distinctive voice and to train their own members in positions of leadership and responsibility.</p><br>
<p>The church building on South Washington St. was completed in 1834 and developed rapidly into an important meeting place for the Black neighborhoods that surrounded it. By 1840 the congregation included 4 Black lay preachers and 10 Black class leaders of the religious classes in the church. The church also held secular classes to teach basic literacy skills: reading, writing, arithmetic. They had a choir and a missionary society. The church was doing well enough financially that a parish house two doors down from the church was purchased in 1841. A single-story Lecture Room was built in the yard behind the church as an additional gathering space. This Black Methodist community of faith offered a spiritual, physical and emotional anchor for the surrounding Black neighborhoods of ‘the Bottoms’ and ‘Hayti’. During these first decades, the membership of Davis Chapel grew to about 700, with many members boating across the Potomac from Maryland. Having been ceded to the District of Columbia in 1801, the town of Alexandria offered a relatively secure place for Blacks and a refuge for runaway enslaved people under the less restrictive laws of the district.</p><br>
<h3>Retrocession and Church Split over Slavery</h3><br>
<p>Alexandria was retroceded to Virginia in 1846 and the town came under the more restrictive Virginia state laws concerning African Americans. One Virginia law at that time prohibited five or more African Americans from gathering together without oversight of a white person, another law prohibited the education of Black Americans. Due to these new restrictions, many activities at Davis Chapel were forced to close at this time.</p><br>
<p>Racial tensions also affected the leadership of the church. In 1845 the Methodist Episcopal Church split over the issue of slavery; the southern conferences supporting slavery formed a new General Conference, the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. The Rev. Davis, who had been instrumental in the formation of Davis Chapel, chose to align himself with the southern conferences. In response, Davis Chapel decided to change its name to Roberts Chapel to honor Bishop Robert Richford Roberts, a distinguished leader in the Methodist Episcopal Church who had died in 1843. Over the next decade, the nation marched inexorably into the crisis of the Civil War.</p><br>
<h3>Civil War in Alexandria</h3><br>
<p>Federal troops occupied Alexandria at the start of the Civil War in 1861, making the restrictive Virginia laws concerning African Americans mute. Activities of the church picked up again under the jurisdiction of the Union troops. Roberts Memorial Chapel was able to re-open its school in 1862, and by 1864 the Sunday School recorded 117 scholars and 200 books in the church library. By 1864 Roberts Memorial Methodist Chapel was no longer a mission church under the supervision of Trinity; they had become an independent African American parish within the national Methodist hierarchy.</p><br>
<h3>Reconstruction and Beyond</h3><br>
<p>The school at Roberts Chapel was encouraged to reopen in 1862 when the city was occupied by</p><br>
<p>Federal troops during the Civil War. Permission to reopen the school first had to be obtained from the</p><br>
<p>provost marshal for the city. Once permission was received, church members opened a school in the</p><br>
<p>church as well as a Sunday school and a secular schoolhouse in the neighborhood. As public schools in the city were established for both Blacks and whites in the 1880s, the educational work of the church was limited to the Sunday School.</p><br>
<p>In the late 19th century, Roberts Chapel established a mission, in Woodlawn, Virginia, supplying it with preachers until it could support a pastor of its own. The two churches continued to have annual re-unions for a number of years.</p><br>
<p>As the church continued to grow in the decades following the Civil War, the leaders looked for more space to host their activities. In the 1920s they bought the old Paff Shoe Factory just north of the church, on the corner of Washington and Gibbons Streets. This became the Roberts Chapel Community building, an important site used to host church and community activities during the years of segregation. During the Depression the church found itself unable to maintain the property, and ownership of the building was relinquished.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>Roberts Memorial United Methodist Church is a two-story, brick, vernacular Gothic Revival structure. Constructed in 1834, it is located south of King Street in the 600 block of South Washington Street, sandwiched between the historic Black neighborhoods of ‘the Bottoms’ and ‘Hayti’. The church fronts South Washington Street to the west, with an ornate facade of decorative brick and stained-glass windows. Although the present narthex, façade and most of the stained glass were added during extensive remodeling in 1894, the side walls of the 1834 building remain, and include the original window openings and denticulated brick cornices.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>The Norman County Courthouse is a historic courthouse in Ada, Minnesota. It is actually the second building in Ada used by the county government. In 1883 the first offices were in a two story building on the NE corner of the block the current courthouse sits on. The county rented the space from the village of Ada for $430/yr. After the new courthouse was built, the old building was moved three blocks north.</p><br>
<p>This kicked off a three year row with Twin Valley, Minnesota determining which town would be the county seat. As Norman County grew in the 1880s, they were outgrowing their current space being used as a county courthouse in Ada and erecting a new building was on the horizon. At the time, Norman County was bigger than today with Twin Valley roughly at the geographic center. Starting in 1900, Twin Valley worked to rally support behind the goal of building the new courthouse there, turning it into the county seat as well. Two petitions and one vote later, Ada won the challenge. In 1906 it became a moot point when Mahnomen County was formed, shrinking Norman County and making Ada the geographic center.</p><br>
<p>The new courthouse was designed in the Richardsonian Romanesque Revival style by Omeyer & Thori and completed in 1904. That firm and their partners have a number of their buildings in the Upper Midwest listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Coming all the way from St. Paul, Olaf Swenson was the contractor and the new building was built for $50,637.</p><br>
<p>A Soldiers’ Memorial was erected and dedicated on Memorial Day 1926. The monument consists of a bronze statue of a World War I soldier standing on a granite base on which is fastened a bronze tablet with the words:"Lest We Forget</p><br>
<p>In the Memory of the Norman County</p><br>
<p>sons who gave their lives</p><br>
<p>in the World War</p><br>
<p>1917-1919</p><br>
<p>This monument is dedicated"Since its erection two more tablets have been installed, honoring those who gave their lives in World War II, Korea & Vietnam.</p><br>
<p>In 1975 a 50’x80’ addition was built on the south side of the original 90’x90’ building.</p><br>
<p>The Norman County Courthouse was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1983</p><br>

<p>Plaza del Mercado de Manatí is a historic marketplace building in Manatí, Puerto Rico. It was the first structure that tried to house under one roof, all the market functions that until 1925 were carried out in an open lot on Padial Street. This new typology was for meeting health and hygiene regulations introduced by the United States government. Constructing the building in the place of the original market helped preserve the continuity of uses and the commercial character of this part of Manatí barrio-pueblo, the downtown area of the municipality of Manatí.</p><br>
<p>The building, oriented from north to south, is located in the town square of Manatí and opens onto two streets. On Padial Street, the building is at the ground level but on Quiñones Street there is a 15 foot difference, which required the construction of a monumental staircase. This difference in level allowed for the design of a basement which served as a warehouse and commercial space.</p><br>

River Forest village clerk Henry Buckman and his wife Bertha acquired the house in 1890; the couple placed two additions on the house and built a barn on the property. The house remained in the Buckman family until 1992, when it became a historic house museum.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 24, 1995.</p><br>
<p>The Printers Building is a historic commercial/industrial building at 44–50 Portland Street in downtown Worcester, Massachusetts. Completed in 1923 for a local printing industry trade group, it continues to serve that role under original ownership, and houses one of its original tenants. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Printers Building is located just south of Worcester Common, on the east side of Portland Street between Austin and Federal Streets. It is a seven story structure, built out of reinforced concrete with a facing of brick and stone and covered by a flat roof. The main facade is five bays wide, each bay housing a storefront (or redesigned former storefront) on the ground floor except the one at the center right, which houses the main entrance. The ground floor is separated from the upper levels by a decorative stone band with cartouches between the bays. The upper levels house groups of windows, the outer bays with two sash windows and the inner bays with four. The center bays of the 2nd through 6th floors are separated by bands of brickwork.</p><br>
<p>Worcester&#39;s broadly diversified industrial economy included a number of printing businesses. In 1922, several of these banded together to provide a building in which printing and publishing operations could be equitably priced and supported. Among them were Commonwealth Press, which operated on the premises until 1989, and Davis Press, now Davis Publications, which continues to operate publication offices from the building. Ownership of the building was vested in a trust established for the purpose, which continues to maintain the premises. The building was designed by New York City architect Walter S. Timmis, a specialist in buildings for printers. As originally designed, it housed retail spaces on the ground floor, publication offices on the second, and printing operations on the upper levels. The upper levels were specifically reinforced to support the action of heavy duty presses of the time.</p><br>
<p>The Sinclair Service Station is a national historic site located at 5299 Commercial Way, Spring Hill, Florida in Hernando County.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 27, 2020.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Sinclair Service Station was built by the Sinclair Oil Corporation in 1964. The gas station&#39;s roof design was based on the company logo, which was a Brontosaurus-like dinosaur. It is 47 feet tall and 110 feet long.</p><br>
<p>In 1967, Harold Hurst bought the station, after which it became Harold&#39;s Auto Center.</p><br>
<p>While in the area filming Larry the Cable Guy&#39;s show in 2014 at Weeki Wachee Springs (which was also added to the National Register in 2020), his crew saw the station. They decided to shoot a segment there.</p><br>
<p>The George R. Thorne House is a historic house at 7 Cottage Row in Midlothian, Illinois. The house was built in 1899 as a summer home for George R. Thorne, who co-founded Montgomery Ward and founded the adjacent Midlothian Country Club. Howard Van Doren Shaw, a Chicago architect known for designing large homes for wealthy and prominent people, designed the house. The house&#39;s exterior blends the Tudor Revival and Shingle styles, while its interior is inspired by the Arts and Crafts Movement. Its design features three shingled gables above the long front porch, a brick parapet in front of a half-timbered gable at the southwest corner, and a shingled block with brick piers and limestone detailing at the southeast corner. Architect N. Max Dunning renovated the house in 1914 to convert it to a year-round residence.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 2, 1997.</p><br>
<p>The Moseley School is a historic school building at 25 Dartmouth Street in Westfield, Massachusetts. Built in 1924, it is a good local example of Colonial Revival architecture, and served the town as an elementary school for nearly a century. The building, vacant since 2009, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Moseley School is located north of downtown Westfield, in a small residential area east of North Elm Street (United States Route 202 and north of Union Street. It is set on just over one acre of land bounded on three sides by Dartmouth, Westminster, and Woodmont Streets. It is a two-story masonry structure built of brick, stone, and concrete, and set on a raised basement. Its main facade is 19 bays wide, representing two phases of construction. Windows are set group in fours in bays decorated with corner quoining. Entrances are set at a recess from the facade at the center and the outermost bays. The interior retains its original floor plan, and features are relatively little altered since its construction.</p><br>
<p>The oldest portion of the school, its northern half, was built in 1915 to meet burgeoning demand for educational services from the citys growing immigrant population. Growth continued, and the schools size was doubled in 1922. The original section was designed by George Haynes of Pittsfield, and the addition by Malcolm B. Harding. It served as an elementary school throughout, closing for two years in 1991 due to low enrollment, and permanently in 2009.</p><br>
<p>Daniel Webster Jenkins House is a historic house in the hamlet of Central Bridge, Schoharie County, New York. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in May 2018.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was constructed in 1884 as a two-story residence in the Queen Anne style. It includes a carriage barn built in the late 19th century. The carriage barn is a contributing structure to the house&#39;s National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) listing.</p><br>
<p>On March 16, 2018, Governor of New York Andrew Cuomo nominated the house for inclusion on the New York State Register of Historic Places and the NRHP. The house was added to the Federal Register on April 12, 2018, and was listed on the NRHP on May 4, 2018.</p><br>
<p>The Gunderson Historic District is a residential historic district in southern Oak Park, Illinois. The district encompasses 230 residential buildings built between 1906 and 1920, the vast majority of which are single-family homes. The development was the second of two built in Oak Park by S.T. Gunderson and Sons, a housing company which mainly worked in Oak Park and the West Side of Chicago. The firm commissioned architect Frank DeMoney to design their Oak Park houses; most of his designs used the American Foursquare style, a simple style which could be executed affordably. DeMoney differentiated the houses by applying elements of other contemporary architectural styles, such as Arts and Crafts, Colonial Revival, or Prairie School. The uniform design and layout of its homes made the district an early example of tract housing, which would become much more widespread later in the twentieth century.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 1, 2002.</p><br>
<p>The William H. Hatch House is a historic house at 306 Keystone Avenue Keystone Avenue in River Forest, Illinois. Grain trader William H. Hatch built the house for his family in 1882, early in the village&#39;s development and two years after its incorporation. The house has a Queen Anne style design, a popular choice both locally and nationally at the time. The design includes three spindlework porches, a tower at the southeast corner, and a shingled gable atop the front and rear facades. The emphasis on spindlework, while common in early Queen Anne designs, is unusual among examples of the style in River Forest.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 5, 2007.</p><br>
<p>The Mr. J. William de Coursey OGrady House is a historic house at 149 Kenilworth Avenue in Kenilworth, Illinois. The house was built on speculation as part of the Kenilworth Companys initial development in 1898; original owner J. William de Coursey OGrady did not buy the house until 1901. Architect Franklin Pierce Burnham, the company architect for the Kenilworth Company, designed the Neoclassical house; Burnham had previously designed the Georgia State Capitol and the Kane County Courthouse. While Neoclassical architecture was popular in commercial and government buildings, especially in the years following the 1893 Columbian Exposition, it was not commonly used in houses, and there are few other examples of the style in Kenilworth. The houses design includes a symmetrical facade, four Ionic pilasters, a dentillated architrave and cornice, and a pediment above the entrance.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 12, 2008.</p><br>
<p>The Mr. James Kent Calhoun House is a historic house at 740 Greenwood Avenue in Glencoe, Illinois. The house was built in 1895 for James Kent Calhoun and his family. Calhoun held several positions in Glencoe government, including Village President and Village Trustee, and wrote one of the first chronicles of Glencoes early history and politics. The house has a Queen Anne style design with a spindlework front porch, bracketed projecting bays, and a cross-gable roof. The Calhoun family has owned the house for all but fifteen of the years since its construction; it was sold after Calhouns second wife Blanche died in 1975, but his grandson R. Scott Javore bought the house back in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 7, 2010.</p><br>
<p>The Nance Building is a historic building listed on the National Register of Historic Places in downtown Rutledge, Tennessee, United States. It is currently used as the historic Nance House Arts and Heritage Center, a history museum and cultural center aimed at preserving Grainger County historical items of interest.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Nance Building is considered to be one of the last remaining Antebellum era structures in Grainger County.</p><br>
<p>In its early years, the structure was used for commercial uses as a tavern and a general store until the late 19th-century, when it became a mixed-use private residence and restaurant. In the 1970s, the building fell into disrepair after the decline in health of the property&#39;s owner. With the passing of the owner in 1997, the City of Rutledge acquired the structure and its surrounding grounds for future plans as a historic center and public park.</p><br>
<p>In 2018, The structure received interior renovation work in a conversion project turning the site into a history museum and cultural center dedicated towards the preservation and promotion of Grainger County history.</p><br>
<p>Rural Glen Cemetery is a historic cemetery on Worcester Road  in Hubbardston, Massachusetts. Established about 1820, it is at 3.5 acre one of the towns largest cemeteries. It was created on land formerly owned by the locally prominent Reed/Reid family, and includes the burials of some of the towns notable 19th and 20th-century residents. The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020. It is presently restricted to burials related to existing interments.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Hubbardston&#39;s Rural Glen Cemetery is located about one mile (1.6 km) south of the town center, on the west side of Worcester Road south of its junction with Old Princeton Road. It is bounded on the north and south by two other municipal cemeteries, Brookside and Evergreen cemeteries; all are identified by signage, and Rural Glen Cemetery is further differentiated from its neighbors by a picket fence along the road. It is predominantly a level grassy expanse, with trees at the fringes. The rear of the cemetery is bounded by the Ware River. Near its center is a 40 ft flagpole flying the American flag.</p><br>
<p>The oldest burial in the cemetery is dated 1820, and is of a five-year-old child. The cemetery was formally established by a sale of land in 1875 by members of the Reed family, who have a raised and fenced plot in the south rear of the cemetery. Among the Reed family burials is that of Colonel Micajah Reed, a state representative in 1839–40. Members of the Wheeler family, whose ancestors were prominent in the towns early history, are also interred here. Among them are several generations of owners of Wheelers store, a fixture in the town center for more than a century. The town took over management of the cemetery from a private association sometime after 1978.</p><br>
<p>The John Robertson Jr. House is a historic house at 145 W. Main Street in Barrington, Illinois. The house was built in 1898 for John Robertson Jr., a local banker and a member of Barrington&#39;s village board. Carpenter Fred Lines built the house, which has an American Foursquare plan with Neoclassical details. The -story house has a roughly rectangular layout with a service addition, front and side porches, and a dormer projecting from the front of its hip roof, a typical Foursquare layout. Its Neoclassical elements include Corinthian columns supporting the porches, swags and garlands adorning several windows, and multiple Palladian windows.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 22, 2014.</p><br>
<p>The Second Battle of Newtonia Site is a battlefield listed on the National Register of Historic Places  near Newtonia and Stark City in Missouri. In late 1864, Major General Sterling Price of the Confederate States Army began a raid into Missouri in hopes of diverting Union troops away from more important theaters of the American Civil War. After a defeat at the Battle of Westport on October 23, Prices Army of Missouri began retreating through Kansas, but suffered three consecutive defeats on October 25. By October 28, the retreating Confederates had reached Newtonia, where the Second Battle of Newtonia broke out when Union pursuers caught up with the Confederates. Confederate cavalry under Brigadier General Joseph O. Shelby was initially successful, but after Union reinforcements under Brigadier General John B. Sanborn counterattacked, the Confederates withdrew. The Union troops did not pursue, and Prices men escaped, eventually reaching Texas by December.</p><br>
<p>In 2004, the site of the battle was listed on the NRHP. The site consists of four contributing properties: the battlefield proper, a cornfield near the Mathew H. Ritchey House, a Union artillery position north of the main battlefield site, and a portion of the Granby Road. Most of the battlefield is located within the site, although some outlying portions are not well preserved and are not included. Several noncontributing properties are located within the site, including a bakery and a silo. While railroad construction, open-pit mining, and the development of Stark City have encroached on the site, it is considered to be well-preserved. A 2013 study determined that the battlefield was not significant enough for National Park Service management, but 25 acres were added to Wilson&#39;s Creek National Battlefield in 2022.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Context</h3><br>
<p>By the beginning of September 1864, the American Civil War had been continuing for several years, and events in the eastern United States, especially the Confederate defeat in the Atlanta campaign, gave President of the United States Abraham Lincoln, who supported continuing the war, an edge in the 1864 United States Presidential Election over George B. McClellan, who promoted ending the war. At this point, the Confederacy had very little chance of winning the war. As events east of the Mississippi River turned against the Confederates, General Edmund Kirby Smith, commander of the Trans-Mississippi Department, was ordered to transfer the infantry under his command to the fighting in the Eastern and Western Theaters. However, this proved to be impossible, as the Union Navy controlled the Mississippi River, preventing a large scale crossing. Despite having limited resources for an offensive, Smith decided that an attack designed to divert Union troops from the principal theaters of combat would have the same effect as the proposed transfer of troops. Major General Sterling Price and the Confederate Governor of Missouri Thomas Caute Reynolds suggested that an invasion into the state of Missouri would be an effective offensive; Smith approved the plan and appointed Price to command the offensive. Price expected that the offensive would create a popular uprising against Union control of Missouri, divert Union troops away from principal theaters of combat (many of the Union troops previously defending Missouri had been transferred out of the state, leaving the Missouri State Militia to be the states primary defensive force), and aid McClellans chance of defeating Lincoln; on September 19, Price&#39;s column entered the state.</p><br>
<p>Originally, Price and his Army of Missouri had hoped to capture St. Louis, but a defeat at the Battle of Pilot Knob in late September dissuaded the Confederates from assaulting that city. Jefferson City, a secondary target, was deemed to strong to attack in early October, so the Confederates began moving westwards towards Kansas City. During the movement, the Army of Missouri collected supplies during side raids such as the Battle of Glasgow, although Major General William S. Rosecrans, commander of the Union Department of the Missouri, began mobilizing troops against Price. By October 23, Union Major General Samuel R. Curtis and the Army of the Border caught up with Price near Kansas City and badly defeated him in the Battle of Westport. The Army of Missouri then began retreating through Kansas, but was forced to fight three battlesMarais des Cygnes, Mine Creek, and Marmiton River. Mine Creek in particular was a disastrous rout in which large quantities of supplies and soldiers were captured. On October 28, Price halted his retreat near Newtonia, Missouri, hoping to give his weary men a rest.</p><br>
<h3>Second Battle of Newtonia</h3><br>
<p>Prices main camp was south of Newtonia, although a small skirmish line was aligned to the west of the town. Major General James G. Blunts command approached around 14:00, and opened fire with artillery. The Confederates were caught by surprise, but Brigadier General Joseph O. Shelby deployed his cavalrymen dismounted to meet Blunts threat. Both sides then formed into lines of battle, and began an artillery duel. Blunt had four 3-inch ordnance rifles and two mountain howitzers, while Shelby had two 10-pounder Parrott rifles. Shelby soon ordered a counterattack. While fire from the mountain howitzers allowed the Union right to hold, part of the Confederate line outflanked Blunts left. The Union soldiers fell back to a line near the Mathew H. Ritchey farm and reformed. One of the Union batteries was repositioned to a supporting role northwest of the town; meanwhile, Shelby&#39;s men reorganized and prepared for another attack. With his ammunition running low, Blunt was considering ordering a withdrawal from the field when he was reinforced by the command of Brigadier General John B. Sanborn.</p><br>
<p>Sanborn aligned his brigade to the left of Blunts line, and after waiting for his cavalrymen to dismount, ordered an assault. Encouraged by the advance of Sanborns brigade, Blunts men joined in the fight. Additional Union artillery had arrived with Sanborn, increasing the Confederates artillery disadvantage to two guns against eight. Facing a freshly reinforced and suddenly aggressive foe, Shelby ordered a withdrawal. A small detachment from Major General James F. Fagan&#39;s division arrived during the retreat to support Shelby, but by then, the battle was already lost. The Confederates withdrew to some woods south of Newtonia, but were not pursued. Curtis, who had arrived on the field, and Blunt decided not to pursue until the next morning, due to the fatigue of their men. Both Blunt and Shelby claimed victory. Estimates of casualties incurred during the fighting vary significantly: one modern source places Union casualties at 26 and those of the Confederates at 24, while a period newspaper reported 113 Union casualties and "less than 200" for the Confederates. Price continued his retreat after Newtonia, reaching Arkansas by October 30. Curtis continued pursuing the Confederates until Price reached the Arkansas River on November 8. The Army of Missouri did not stop its retreat until it reached Texas; by December, less than a third of the men Price had taken into Missouri remained in his army.</p><br>
<h2>Features</h2><br>
<p>The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on December 23, 2004, as the Second Battle of Newtonia Site, with a NRHP register number of 4000698. While the town of Stark City has been developed since the battle was fought, land use patterns at the site are still primarily agricultural. The site of the battlefield itself suffered disruption when the Missouri and North Arkansas Railroad was constructed in the early 20th century. Tailings from open-pit mining also intrude on the site, but are not particularly noticeable from the ground. While the roads used at the time of the battle are no longer in use and some small stone walls present in 1864 have disappeared, the site&#39;s NRHP application form noted that landscape appearance was similar to what it was during the battlefield. A road runs through the southern portion of the site, but it also provides a vantage point for open views of the field.</p><br>
<p>Four contributing properties make up the district. The first is defined as the overall battlefield. Most of the primary fighting area of the battle is included in this property, which encompasses.87 square miles, the majority of which is in private hands. Some isolated fringes of the fighting occurred south of the modern-day location of Stark City, although the ground there is not well preserved and is not part of the NRHP site. The second district is the Ritchey cornfield. While Ritchey farmed 56 acres of corn in 1864, only 26 acres are part of the historic site. The cornfield site is located at the intersection of Missouri Route 86 and Missouri Supplemental Route O and is still used for agricultural purposes. North of Route 86 and the main battle site is a contributing property preserving the Union artillery position on the ridge. The final contributing property is the former site of the Granby Road near the artillery site; while the road no longer exists, its track has been identified through archaeology and the presence of a hedgerow. In addition to the contributing properties; a bakery, a machine shop, a silo, and 17 houses and outbuildings are located within the site, mainly on its edges. The sites boundaries include most of the core area of the battlefield. While the Second Battle of Newtonia Site is distinct from the First Battle of Newtonia Historic District, the two NRHP properties boundaries touch at two points.</p><br>
<p>The American Battlefield Trust has preserved 8 acres at Newtonia, and additional land is preserved by the Newtonia Battlefields Association. After the site was listed on the NRHP, the National Park Service (NPS) conducted an analysis to determine if the location was suitable for inclusion in the NPSs list of official units, but the study determined that while the site was well-preserved, it did not rise to the level of importance that would warrant NPS preservation as a site characteristic of either the American Civil War as a whole, Prices Raid, or through association with Price, which the study noted as an important historical figure. The Ritchey House and 25 acres of the battlefields including the Old Newtonia Cemetery were added to Wilson&#39;s Creek National Battlefield in 2022 by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, despite National Park Service opposition due to the lack of connection, need for protection, or enhancement of public enjoyment.</p><br>
<p>The Jesse L. Strauss Estate is a historic house at 110 Maple Hill Road in Glencoe, Illinois. The house was built in 1921 for businessman Jesse Strauss and his wife Blanche. David Adler, a prominent Chicago architect known for building large country houses for wealthy clients, designed the house. Like many of his works, Adler&#39;s design for the Strauss Estate was inspired by French architecture, and the estate was meant to resemble a French farmhouse. The house consists of a main wing and a service wing which form an "L" shape, with an octagonal tower at the corner between them. Its design also includes a projection at the main entrance, a stucco exterior with wood trim, and a steep roof punctuated by dormers.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 22, 2014.</p><br>
<p>The Central Berwyn Bungalow Historic District is a residential historic district in Berwyn, Illinois. The district includes 1,358 contributing buildings, 1,109 of which are brick Chicago bungalows and another 156 of which are bungalows in other styles. The homes were built between 1900 and 1949, with the majority of them being built in the mid-1920s. Tens of thousands of bungalows were built in the Chicago area in the early twentieth century, as their affordability made them popular with the working class. Many of Berwyns bungalows were purchased by Czech Americans, who moved to Berwyn in great numbers in the 1920s and accounted for 25% of the citys population by 1930. While bungalows typically had uniform designs, they were distinguished by their entrances, porches, and roofs, and nearly every possible variation on those features can be found in the district.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 18, 2015.</p><br>
<p>Palo Alto Medical Clinic, also known as the Roth Building  was a former medical clinic. The building is located at 300 Homer street, at the corner of Bryant street in Palo Alto, California. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places listings in Santa Clara County, California since 2010. The building is a good example of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture, and has historical relevance for the Palo Alto community, art history, and medical history.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Medical clinic</h3><br>
<p>In 1924, Dr. Russell Van Arsdale Lee (1895–1982) went into medical practice with Dr. Thomas Williams at an office located at Bryant Street at Hamilton Street in Palo Alto. However the medical clinic grew quickly and they decided to partner with a team of new doctors and move the clinic to a larger space. As a result, the Palo Alto Medical Clinic was founded in 1930 by Russell V. Lee, and five other doctors. The early doctors and founding partners to form the clinic included Edward "Fritz" Roth, Blake Colburn Wilbur, Herbert Niebel, Milton Saier, and Esther Bridgman Clark.</p><br>
<p>In 1927, pediatrician Esther Clark became a founding partner of the clinic, she was one of the first female doctors on the San Francisco Peninsula, and she went on to later found the Children&#39;s Health Council of Palo Alto.</p><br>
<p>Palo Alto Medical Clinic was an early place for innovations in medicine, they pioneered the model of group practice, and was a predecessor to the Palo Alto Medical Foundation.</p><br>
<h3>Building and architecture</h3><br>
<p>The Palo Alto Medical Clinic building was designed by Esther Bridgman Clark&#39;s brother, local architect Birge Clark and the builder was Wells P. Goodenough. Clark was known for his Spanish Colonial Revival architecture style. The structure was built in 1932. The building is in a U-shape, and built of concrete, stucco and features clay roof tiles and a second floor rustic wood balcony. Below the balcony is an arched arcade which defined a loggia and a courtyard entrance.</p><br>
<h3>Arnautoff murals</h3><br>
<p>In 1932, Russell V. Lee commissioned artist Victor Arnautoff to paint a series of fresco paintings around the entrance of the building. Arnautoff&#39;s mural series all were medically-themed murals done in the recessed under a loggia with four panels of modern medicine and other panels showing primitive medicine, and additionally he four painted medallions of Joseph Lister, Hippocrates, Louis Pasteur, and Wilhelm Röntgen are on the exterior wall of the loggia.</p><br>
<h2>Modern-day</h2><br>
<p>In 2000, the city of Palo Alto bought the building with the intention of restoration and eventually becoming the home of the Palo Alto History Museum and Palo Alto&#39;s historical archives. However the renovations have been delayed due to a lack of funds and a reduced priority by the city budget.</p><br>
<p>The Arcade Building is a historic building at 1 Riverside Road in Riverside, Illinois. The building was built in 1871 as Riversides first commercial building; its first floor housed storefronts, while its upper floors were used as residential and office space. Riverside was developed as a planned community in the late 1860s, and the Arcade Building was part of its original plan; it both provided basic services to the villages early residents and served as a focal point of its downtown. Architect Frederick C. Withers designed the Victorian Gothic building, which features brick arches over its windows, four dormers projecting from the roof, and towers atop the entrance and at each corner. By grouping the village&#39;s shops in a single planned building, the Arcade Building was one of the earliest precursors to the concept of a shopping center.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 8, 2016.</p><br>
<p>Rollo Congregational United Church of Christ is a Congregational church at 2471 Weddell Street in Rollo, Illinois. Rollo&#39;s Congregational church was founded in 1865; it originally met in a wooden church in rural Paw Paw Township and moved to Rollo in 1886. The present church building was built in 1913 after a storm damaged the previous church. Built by Andrew Svihus of nearby Shabbona, the church has a vernacular side steeple plan with Romanesque Revival details. Its design includes a brick exterior marked by pilasters and corbelling, a cross-gabled roof with a front-facing gable, a smaller gable above the front entrance, and a bell tower at the southeast corner.</p><br>
<p>The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 27, 2019.</p><br>
<p>Sag Harbor Hills, Azurest, and Ninevah Beach Subdivisions Historic District  is an African American beachfront community in Sag Harbor, New York. Founded following World War II, the SANS community served primarily as a summer retreat for middle-class African American families during the post-WWII and Jim Crow era. African American families were not allowed at beachfront resorts, pools or beaches, and SANS began as a place of refuge from racial strife. The historic district is bordered by Hempstead Street, Richards Drive, Hampton Street, Lincoln Street, Harding Terrace, Terry Drive and the eastern end of Haven&#39;s Beach in Sag Harbor. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 10, 2019.</p><br>
<h2>Early history</h2><br>
<p>During colonial times, the northwest of East Hampton village was the free black and Native Americans enclave along the Indian path to Sag Harbor. When Sag Harbor became the first USA port of entry after Northwest Harbor in 1789, the Black and Native populations were relegated to Eastville, southeast of the town. In 1839, due to a growing reluctance to allow blacks in the other churches burying grounds, the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church of Eastville broke ground on a church and cemetery on Eastville Avenue on the southern side of Hampton Street. Reverend J. P. Thompson, the first pastor, is buried in the St David African Methodist Episcopal Zion Cemetery. It accommodated Irish Catholic immigrants, Montauketts and African Americans.</p><br>
<p>The Indian path was paved (NY 114), and in 1945 the road was widened, becoming the main road between the two communities. The AME church was the spiritual anchor of Eastville. (Eastville was listed in 1994 on the National Register of Historic Places as part of Sag Harbor Village Historic District Boundary Increase, 1994.)</p><br>
<p>The first of the three subdivisions to be developed was Azurest, located to the east of the old Sag Harbor Village Historic District. African-American families began purchasing property for summer retreats during the late 1940s. While unable to get loans, they built summer cottages on large lots, alternating homesites with lots deliberately left empty. Lot buyers were doctors, business owners, lawyers, academics and artists. Many prominent blacks during the civil rights era bought lots. Brooklyn schoolteacher, Maude Terry (1887–1968), while vacationing at a cottage in Eastville, came up with the idea of a private community for black families on the 20-acre parcel lying undeveloped between Hampton Street and Gardiner&#39;s Bay. It belonged to the Gale family.</p><br>
<p>Terry&#39;s sister, Amaza Lee Meredith (1895–1984), an architect, made a plan to sub-divide the property. Their descendants, the Richards, still occupy two cottages in the community.</p><br>
<p>With growth during the 1950s and 1960s and the arrival of celebrities such as Lena Horne, Harry Belafonte, the restaurateur B. Smith and Allan Houston of the New York Knicks, the community grew to rival Oak Bluffs on Martha&#39;s Vineyard as a black vacation destination.</p><br>
<p>Over 300 Black families bought in, creating the adjoining communities of Sag Harbor Hills and Ninevah Beach, linked by dirt roads.</p><br>
<p>Three other nearby subdivisions, Lighthouse Lane, Hillside Terrace and Chatfield&#39;s Hill, also attracted black home buyers in the late 20th century. These were not included in the historic district designation because all contributing properties have to be at least 50 years old.</p><br>
<h2>Summers in SANS</h2><br>
<p>Paul Ruffins, former editor of The Crisis magazine for the NAACP, wrote of spending summers at Ninevah Beach when growing up. Each summer SANS residents swelled to 1000, this at a time when Sag Harbor was not the trendy vacation spot it is today. The influx served to buoy the town financially when the Bulova watch factory and Grumman Aircraft plant closed. Ruffins remembers a time when a pair of sunglasses left on the beach was there the next day, walking in the woods of the nature preserve and meeting the other children of the founders. Jim Brannen, a NYFD firefighter and part-time contractor sold John L. Ruffins the lot that became the family retreat. He shared the cottage with Rey and Joan Ruffins, his brother and sister-in-law and their kids. Brennan sold many lots to fellow firefighters. Maude Terry sold many more to entrepreneurs and doctors, civil servants and teachers, the pre-WWII black elite, many of whom – just like their white counterparts – could afford a summer home on the beachfront; people like Earl Graves, the editor of Ebony and Jet magazine; and the owner of the popular J. Foster Phillips Funeral home in St. Albans. Artists built from plans found in Popular Mechanics magazine while camping out in the shell of their cottage. He describes a gentle beach, sloping out for 100 feet with little chop from Gardiners Bay; a short walk along the shore thru Havens beach to town for ice cream; sassafras, cedar and scrub oak; clean sand and sailboats anchored offshore; a six-mile bike ride to Sagaponack and the Atlantic&#39;s beaches. The trees growing from the sandy soil provided a cover that enabled the "Soul of Summer" to reach a generation of African-Americans.</p><br>
<h2>Gentrification</h2><br>
<p>Due to the proximity of SANS to East Hampton, real estate interests have increasingly targeted the elderly population for turning over their interests, with the goal of building large mansions out of character to the middle class esthetic. House prices have climbed in the Hamptons; Sag Harbor Hills and Ninevah are in the crosshairs of investors looking for bargains. A developer bought 9 parcels, seeking town approval at a recent meeting to build a house of 5,300 square feet on several combined lots, the biggest homes in an area where the median house size is 1,378 square feet. He is opposed by a homeowner group that was originally formed to keep out big-box stores. An even larger manse, of 5,900 square feet, was proposed for four combined lots in Azurest.</p><br>

<p>The Davenport Downtown Commercial Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in the central business district of Davenport, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020. In addition, the district also contains 33 buildings that are individually listed on the National Register. This historic district is bordered by four other districts: the Crescent Warehouse Historic District and the Davenport Motor Row and Industrial Historic District on the east, the Hamburg Historic District to the northwest, and the West Third Street Historic District on the west.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Davenport was founded in 1836 on land along the Mississippi River that was part of the Black Hawk Purchase, a 40 to 50 mi tract of land in what is now eastern Iowa. It was platted by land company stockholders that included George Davenport, a merchant and trader at Fort Armstrong and the citys namesake, and Antoine LeClaire, a French-Indian interpreter, lawyer, and speculator. Part of the original town plat is within the historic district. Because there was a question concerning the title to the land, lots were slow to sell so LeClaire platted additions on land to the east of the original plat, also in the district. He received the land as the interpreter for the 1832 treaty that ended the Black Hawk War. He set aside one of the squares for St. Anthonys Catholic Church, the town&#39;s first church, which has been located there ever since.</p><br>
<p>Scott County was established by the legislature of the Wisconsin Territory in 1837, and the city fought a protracted battle for the county seat from 1838 to 1840. As part of the deal to gain that distinction, Davenport and LeClaire donated a park square for the courthouse, and the countys three courthouses and its jail have all been built there. The first court sessions were held in St. Anthonys Church until the first courthouse was completed.</p><br>
<p>Davenport was the first city in Iowa to receive rail service. The Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad (CRI&P) entered the city in 1856 after the first railroad bridge across the Mississippi River was completed in 1856. The CRI&Ps mainline followed the base of the river bluff on the north side of the downtown area. From 1901 to 1903 the tracks were elevated along Fifth Street. They are the contributing structure in the historic district. The CRI&P passenger station was also located in the district, but service ended there in 1968 and the depot was torn down in the 1970s. The city was also served by three other rail lines, five streetcar lines, and an interurban line called the Clinton, Davenport & Muscatine Railway (Originally the Davenport & Muscatine Railway (Incorporated 1910) and the Iowa & Illinois Railway (Incorporated 1901) until their 1916 merger after being purchased by the United Light & Railways Co.). The latter&#39;s station is still extant on Brady Street.</p><br>
<p>The period of significance for the historic district is from 1850, when the present St. Anthonys Church was begun, until 1968 when the present Davenport Public Library was completed. The district was the location for the citys financial institutions, including the citys tallest building, Davenport Bank and Trust (1927). Several hotels, including the Davenport Hotel (1907), were built in the district to serve the main train stations and Hotel Blackhawk (1914, 1920) was a convention-oriented hotel. In addition to the county courthouse, the district also includes Davenport City Hall (1895), Central Fire Station (1901), and the United States Courthouse (1933). Light industrial uses included cigar manufacturing, wood planning, and carriage and plow manufacturing before those buildings were converted into other uses. Initially, commerce focused on dry goods, groceries, specialty stores, and wholesale goods before fashionable department stores were built, including the J.H.C. Petersens Sons&#39; Store (1892) and M.L. Parker (1922). Multiple theaters were located in the district, but only two remain the Capital Theatre (1922) and the former RKO Orpheum (1931). Of the apartment buildings constructed downtown, the Dorothea (1910) was one of the few buildings constructed by a woman.</p><br>
<p>The Lemont Downtown Historic District is a commercial historic district encompassing 14 city blocks in downtown Lemont, Illinois. The district has served as the villages downtown since the 1850s, when the newly opened Illinois & Michigan Canal and subsequent limestone quarrying in the area sparked a local economic boom. It expanded through the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as new railroads and the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal brought residents and business opportunities to the village. The commercial buildings in the district exhibit a variety of common building types seen between 1850 and 1950; one-part, two-part, gable-front, and false-front buildings are all present, and their designs feature Italianate, Commercial, and revival style architecture. The district also includes several of Lemonts government buildings, including its village hall and post office.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 6, 2016.</p><br>
<p>The Edmund D. Brigham House is a house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright at 790 Sheridan Road in Glencoe, Illinois. Wright designed the house circa 1908 for Edmund D. Brigham, a freight agent for the Chicago & North Western Railway, and it was completed the following year. Wrights design is a variation of the one in his article "A Fireproof House for $5000", a concrete home design which he published in the Ladies Home Journal in 1907. While the Brigham House was the only one of Wrights Fireproof House for $5000 designs actually built with concrete, he would continue to work and experiment with the material throughout his career. The houses Prairie School plan has a central two-story section with one-story wings on either side, several rows of casement windows, and large piers at the corners of the central section and the middle of each wing.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 27, 2016.</p><br>
<p>The Baptist Retirement Home is a historic retirement home at 316 Randolph Street in Maywood, Illinois. The home was built in 1930 for the Baptist Old People&#39;s Home organization, which was founded in Maywood in 1906; the large-scale building replaced its original, smaller facilities. At the time, retirement care was shifting from family-centered to institutional practices, and the elderly began to choose retirement home living instead of being forced there by a lack of family or money. When it opened, the facility was racially segregated and only admitted white residents; it also restricted membership to members of the Baptist faith who were over seventy years old. Architect Elmer C. Roberts designed the Tudor Revival building, which features half-timbering on its upper stories, towers enclosing its stairwells, and projecting bays topped by crenellated parapets. Additions were placed on the building in 1955 and 1965 to expand its capacity.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 26, 2017.</p><br>
<p>Woman&#39;s Club of Palo Alto  is a civic, cultural, philanthropic and social club, initially founded on June 20, 1894 by 24 women in Palo Alto, California. The building that currently houses the club is historical and built in 1916 in a Tudor-Craftsman style, and is located at 475 Homer Avenue in Palo Alto. The building was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<h2>Club history</h2><br>
<p>The Woman&#39;s Club of Palo Alto was initially founded on June 20, 1894 by 24 women who gathered at a Presbyterian Church in Palo Alto, California. The first president was Mary Grafton Campbell, a doctor. Early members of the club included Anna Zschokke, a figure in the establishment of the Palo Alto Unified School District; Lydia Mitchell, who co-founded the Palo Alto Red Cross; and Julia Gilbert, a figure in the establishment of the Palo Alto libraries.</p><br>
<p>In 1898, the club formed a circulating library and donated over 2,000 books, which four years later led to the first public library in Palo Alto. In 1911, the club worked for California women&#39;s suffrage movement. From 1916 until 1929, the club members were involved in local and national issues concerning World War I, universal suffrage, and women in politics.</p><br>
<p>The club has hosted many speaking events including suffragist Hester Ann Harland, lectures by Stanford University professors, among others. In 2018, many female engineers and university students met at the club to discuss cryptocurrencies and the club served as a safe space for women in technology to meet.</p><br>
<h2>Architectural history</h2><br>
<p>Club members raised money to buy a lot on Homer Avenue, and it took a decade to raise the remaining money for the building construction. The total cost of the new club building was $10,590.</p><br>
<p>Charles Edward Hodges (1864–1944) was the architect of the building. The style of the building is a Tudor Craftsman design. The exterior features are Craftsman with a porte-cochere doorway, heavy beams, stucco finish with a painted wood wainscoting band of lap siding at the base of the structure. The Tudor design elements include the one and a half story gable, a half timbered frame and a steeply pitched roof. The interior features a Ballroom with maple flooring and fir board and batten siding on three of the walls, and a stage with an Olio drop front curtain. There is a separate Fireside Room with salt glazed tiles from 1910 made by the Steiger Terracotta and Pottery Company of South San Francisco.</p><br>
<p>Emmanuel Episcopal Church is a historic Episcopal church at 203 S. Kensington Avenue in La Grange, Illinois. La Granges Episcopal congregation formed in 1872 and built its first church in 1878. The current church building was built in 1925–26 to replace the original church after it burned down in 1924. Architect John Neal Tilton, Jr., who was also a member of the congregation, gave the new church a Gothic Revival design inspired by cathedral architecture; the design bucked the contemporary tradition of giving suburban churches simple designs. The churchs design includes an ashlar limestone exterior, lancet windows with stone surrounds, a parapet with a cross above the entrance, and a large entrance gable flanked by buttresses. The church&#39;s stained glass windows, which were installed over the course of a multi-decade program, were designed by multiple artists and feature scenes of everyday American life.</p><br>
<p>The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 28, 2017.</p><br>
<p>First Congregational Church is a historic Congregational church at 766 Graceland Avenue in Des Plaines, Illinois. The churchs congregation formed in 1869 and built its first church in the early 1870s. As Des Plaines expanded in the 1920s, the congregation outgrew its original church, and it had the current church building constructed in 1929. The firm of Pond & Pond, Martin and Lloyd gave the church an Arts and Crafts design; it is one of the few buildings in Des Plaines designed by a major architecture firm. The churchs design includes a brick and limestone exterior with an emphasis on geometric patterns, a gable front entrance flanked by square towers, and an arched window divided by buttresses above the entrance. Its sanctuary houses a stained glass window designed by Edgar Miller which depicts events in the life of Christ.</p><br>
<p>The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 27, 2019.</p><br>
