<p>South Side Turnverein Hall is a historic social club and gymnasium in the Bates-Hendricks neighborhood of Indianapolis, Indiana, affiliated with the citys German-American community. lt was built in 1900 by prominent architects Vonnegut & Bohn, whose managing partners Bernard Vonnegut, Sr. and Arthur Bohn were members of the burgeoning German-American community in Indianapolis. The architects were also known for designing the Athenæum , another German-American social club in the city. The South Side Turnverein was an important gathering place for Indianapolis south side German community until its decline in the 1940s. It was sold to investors in 1978 to be used as an athletic club.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2019.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Indianapolis was a major destination for German immigrants in the 19th century, spurred by political refugees leaving Europe after the failed Revolutions of 1848. By 1850, people of German heritage constituted over 12 percent of the city&#39;s population. The growing German community desired to retain their heritage, and did so through the creation of social clubs.</p><br>
<p>The Turner movement was one of the largest German-American cultural groups of the time, promoting German ideals through education and physical fitness. The Turner movement created Turnvereins (or gymnastics clubs), where members gathered for both social and athletic activities. The Turner movement arrived in Indianapolis in the 1850s with the establishment of a Turnverein organization, the Socialer Turnverein. By 1893, a growing German population on the southside of the city sought to form their own Turnverein. That year a group of around 200 German-Americans broke away from the Socialer Turnverein to establish the South Side Turnverein (Südseite Turnverein).</p><br>
<p>The group first rented a space in the Phoenix Garden, but as the organization grew it began to look for a permanent home. They selected a site near the intersection of Madison Avenue and Prospect Street. Construction began in June 1900 and was completed in November of that year. In the beginning, the South Side Turnverein Hall hosted eight turning classes with 300 students between the ages of 6 and 25. The building contained two bowling alleys, a reception and dining room, kitchen, barroom, and the gymnasium. The gymnasium could also serve as an auditorium, with space for over 800 people.</p><br>
<h3>Sporting History</h3><br>
<p>As an organization dedicated to physical education, the South Side Turnverein hosted many athletic events during its history. These included gymnastics expositions, basketball games, bowling leagues, and boxing matches. It hosted an annual exhibition each April, which included gymnastics performances, folk dances, and orchestral performances. It also served as a host location for many regional Turner events, bringing up to 500 athletes and large crowds from cities such as Chicago, Louisville, Fort Wayne, and Evansville.</p><br>
<p>The Turnverein fielded a basketball team and played teams from the Christamore House, Crawfordsville High School, and other local organizations. It hosted several basketball leagues, and was reported to have held more than 18,000 refereed basketball games between 1904 and 2014.</p><br>
<h3>Social History</h3><br>
<p>From its completion into the late-1930s the South Side Turnverein served as a fixture in the areas German community, but also the southside at large. It hosted musical performances, dances, plays, festivals, and other events. Some were focused on celebrating German heritage, while others were related to the city or other social clubs. Local chapters of the Knights of Pythias and the Young Mens Institute were among the many groups to host events at the Turnverein.</p><br>
<p>The building also hosted many labor union and political events. Local labor unions including the United German Trad Unions of Indianapolis, Printing Pressman&#39;s Union No. 17, Central Labor Union, and the State Federation of Labor used the building. It also served as a meeting place for labor negotiations in the 1940s and 1950s.</p><br>
<p>A political rally for the Progressive Party was held at the Turnverein in 1912. The building even hosted a campaign appearance by John F. Kennedy during his 1960 presidential run.</p><br>
<h3>Decline</h3><br>
<p>Anti-German sentiment, fostered by World War I and World War II, spread throughout the United States in the first half of the 20th century. German-American organizations were forced to respond. In 1918, the South Side Turnverein hosted a meeting of "persons of German blood" where resolutions were passed supporting the United States in its war against Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany. The buildings name was Anglicized around the same time, and was commonly referred to as the South Side Turner Hall or South Side Turners Gymnasium throughout the inter-war and post-war years.</p><br>
<p>In the late-1930s, the South Side Turnvereins membership was around 400 people. By 1977, that number had dropped to 62 members. The surrounding neighborhood had changed since the buildings completion, and many former members relocated to the Indianapolis suburbs. White flight and the construction of Interstate 70 immediately to the north of the building in the 1970s contributed to the demise of the organization. In December 1978, the Turnverein building was sold to investors and the organization&#39;s operations were moved.</p><br>
<p>After the sale of the building it was used at various times as an athletic club, bar, and music venue. Most recently it was converted into office space.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The German Renaissance Revival structure is a two-story building with a raised basement on a limestone foundation. Its exterior consists of red brick with limestone trim. It has a hipped roof with gabled pavilions. There are brick pilasters on its south façade, which extend through the roof. An octagonal cupola sits on the ridge of the roof.</p><br>
<p>A prominent feature of the building is the arched windows and panels on its north and south façades. At the center are five groups of single one-over-one windows on the first floor aligned with a three-part arched window on the second floor. The arches feature distinctive limestone voussoirs and springers. The pavilions have a similar arched panel on their north and south façades. These panels consist of half-timbering and stucco with a pair of 15-over-15 windows in their center. They share the same arched design as the windows in the central section of the façades.</p><br>
<p>The west-facing gable features a relief portrait of Friedrich Ludwig Jahn, the father of the Turner Movement, by noted sculptor Rudolf Schwarz. Schwarz was also known for his work on the Soldiers and Sailors Monument in downtown Indianapolis. The original relief suffered extensive damage over its lifetime and was replaced by a reconstruction during the building&#39;s renovations in 2019. The remaining components of the original relief are on display inside the building.</p><br>
<p>The F. J. Lauerman House also known as Casa del Flores is house located in Marinette, Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 14, 1979.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was originally built for F. J. Lauerman, a prominent member of Marinette, who originally was from Muscoda. Lauerman promised his wife to be allowed to design their house. She liked the design of the William Borden house that appeared in a 1900 issue of the Ladies&#39; Home Journal. That house had been designed by L. B. Valk, an architect from Los Angeles. After inquiring to Valk, Mrs. Lauerman was able to get a house designed and built for around $20,000. The house was of exotic design to the area and unmatched in the Wisconsin landscape at the time. The house was completed in 1901. Mrs. Lauerman only lived there for two years after its completion. Mr. Lauerman continued to live in the house until his death in 1959. The house still remains with his family.</p><br>
<p>The Bonnie Oaks Historic District is located in Briggsville, Wisconsin in the Town of Douglas. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 3, 1986.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Bonnie Oaks Historic District consists of fifteen structures and one archaeological site. All of the buildings were built between 1870 and 1930.</p><br>
<h3>Literature and Music</h3><br>
<p>The site has significance in the fields of literature and music for the role it played as an informal artists retreat. The original owner of the site was Cyrus Woodman, who obtained it in 1853 as a military land warrant from the federal government. After going through a few owners, the property eventually passed to Alma and John Ormsby. Alma gave it the title of Bonnie Oaks and John built many of the structures that are currently on the property. The Ormsbys daughter Mildred who was born at Bonnie Oaks, married a Milwaukee lawyer named Harrison S. Green in 1897. Following her father&#39;s death in 1916, the Greens became the owners of the property. During this time, the property attracted young authors to spend time there.</p><br>
<p>In 1922 Mildred Ormsby Green invited pianist Josef Lhévinne to Bonnie Oaks. For the next twenty-two years until the time of his death Lhévinne spent a part of each summer in the Tower on the property.</p><br>
<p>Zona Gale, author of Miss Lulu Bett, and a native of Portage, frequently stayed at the property. She as well as Mrs. Green encouraged other authors including William Maxwell and Margery Latimer to come to Bonnie Oaks. Latimer was a believer in Gurdjieff philosophy, which was created by Russian philosopher, George Gurdjieff. In 1930 Latimer involved Zona Gale in Gurdjieff&#39;s philosophy and partook the "Portage Experiment". The experiment was conducted by Gale, Latimer, her husband Jean Toomer and multiple other unmarried people that lived together. It was declared by the press as a "free-love" cult, and charges of miscegenation were made. While the participants seemed to enjoy the experiment, the neighbors in the countryside and in Portage were hostile to the idea. Talk of communism, nudity, and sexual lenience abounded. By the end of the summer of 1931, the experiment was ended and the results were documented by Toomer.</p><br>
<p>Other visitors to the property include Robert Fitzgerald and Paul Robeson.</p><br>
<h3>Effigy Mounds</h3><br>
<p>There are two effigy mounds at the archaeological site on the property. They are thought to be from the Woodland period and are listed as virtually undisturbed. The sites are among the better preserved in the state and may provide information on social relations and mortuary customs of the time.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The district is located in the southwest corner of Marquette County, with the community of Briggsville a little over a mile to the west. The Neenah Creek forms the eastern boundary of the district, with the rest of the property found in dense woods, between 3rd Ave. and Grouse Dr.</p><br>
<p>Lakewood Farm, also known as the Getz Zoo, Getz Farm, or Lakewood Zoo, is a house and outbuildings located at 264 Lakeshore Avenue in Holland, Michigan. The property was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1902, forty-two-year-old Ida Florence Fay of Chicago purchased 71 acres along Lake Michigan, which included this property. She constructed a mansion overlooking the lake in 1903, and began planting fruit trees. She named the property the "Lakewood Farm." She lived at the farm until 1910, when she listed it for sale.</p><br>
<p>In August 1910, George Fulmer Getz, the owner of Chicago-based Globe Coal Company, purchased Lakewood Farm and the mansion built by Ida Fay. Getz was a self-made millionaire, and he and his wife were looking for a location to build a summer home. However, they chose the Lakewood property with its already extant house.</p><br>
<p>Contemporary newspaper articles during George Getz&#39;s lifetime, lookback articles in the decades following his death and a self-published book by Holland author Donald van Reeken all note that George Getz built Lakewood from barren wasteland. Research for the nomination, conducted by Valerie van Heest of Lafferty van Heest and Associates in Holland discovered the inaccuracy.</p><br>
<p>Weeks after purchasing Lakewood Farm in 1910, Getz&#39;s wife Susan died of complications from childbirth. Getz adjusted to life as a single father, and his plans for the Lakewood property shifted. He purchased additional adjacent property in 1911, and worked to develop the estate into a working fruit and poultry farm. He purchased more land in 1912 and later years amassing a total of 250 acres. He grew the poultry producing capabilities of the farm and began collecting exotic animals as a personal passion. He also began supporting the local county agricultural fair, through exhibiting his farm products there and funding of a new agricultural pavilion. In 1912 he brought two camels, as well as a number of other exotic animals, to display at the fair, which helped raise visitation and prompted locals to begin visiting Lakewood Farm at other times of the year. Getz welcomed the general public to his property.</p><br>
<p>Getz continued to develop his property, constructing a number of outbuildings and improving the roads and other infrastructure. When the United States entered, World War I, however, Getz downsized and concentrated on producing food for the troops. After the war, he began shifting responsibilities to his business subordinates. In 1921, Getz held a Fourth of July celebration at Lakewood, with over 5000 attendees. He also began collecting more animals, including many exotic ones. Soon he had an elephant, orangutan, lions, ocelots, tigers, panthers, leopards, jaguars, kangaroos, bears, and pythons, among others. His personal menagerie became one of the largest in the country.</p><br>
<p>In August 1926, Getz held a political rally for Fred W. Green, then running for governor of Michigan. He opened his menagerie to thirty thousand people for the "Green Barbeque," as it became known. The event garnered nation-wide attraction and for the first time in print, Getz&#39;s menagerie was referred to as a "zoo." Getz embraced the concept and continued to welcome growing numbers of visitors. Before the end of 1926, some 800,000 people visited the zoo. Over the next two years, Getz developed the farm and its zoo as a visitor attraction.</p><br>
<p>The Great Depression affected Getz&#39;s personal fortune, and in 1931 he started looking to sell the property. He kept the zoo open, but began charging admission. This was not really sustainable, and Betz closed the zoo in 1934, shipping the animals to the Brookfield Zoo in Chicago. In 1938, George Getz died of pneumonia. After his death, the farm was parceled out. The mansion itself did not sell until 1945 to local car dealer William Vandenberg and his wife, Esther. Soon thereafter, the couple divorced and Esther lived in the house until her death in 2004. She did little work to the property over the almost half century she lived there. In 2006, Patti and Ken Bing purchased the 4.23-acre property. The Bings did a major restoration of the 10,000-square-foot residence and guest house as well as the grounds, restoring it to the style and character of the property during the years Getz owned the property.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Lakewood Farm is situated on a 4.23-acre parcel of lakefront property, and includes three architecturally significant buildings: the private mansion, garage, and guest house, as well as various other outbuildings. Although the property represents less than two percent of the 250- acre farm and zoo that George Getz operated from 1910 to 1938, it represents the whole of Lakewood Farm because it encompasses three of the farm’s largest and most well-crafted buildings and includes both the residential portion of the property as well as the heart of the public gathering space that radiated from a central stone fountain. This parcel therefore serves as a reminder of the farm and zoo that disappeared after the land was divided and sold as 174 different parcels after George Getz’s death in 1938.</p><br>
<p>Mansion: The Lakewood Farm mansion is a three-story, modified Stick Style structure. It includes the square original structure (built in 1903) and later additions from the 1910s and 20s. The additions include a porte cochere, a second floor above the north side kitchen entrance, and a new two-story addition on the south side. The roof of the main section is hipped, and three large intersecting gables are over the three additions. A modern garage and breezeway was added in the early 2000s.</p><br>
<p>Garage: The garage is a two-story, modified Stick Style structure. It served as a garage as well as an office, staff housing, and power plant. The building was construed in about 1916. It has an asphalt-shingled hip roof with a pair of dormer windows on the east and west sides.</p><br>
<p>Guest House: The guest house, also used as an employee dormitory, is a one-story, wood frame, rectangular building wit wood and cement board-sided. The original building was constructed in 1903; an east side addition was constructed in 1910. It has an intersecting gable roof covered with asphalt shingles with two dormer windows.</p><br>
<h2>Historical significance</h2><br>
<p>To be listed on the National Register, a property must meet at least one of four specific criteria and Lakewood meets two of the criteria. It is significant in social history through its direct association with George F. Getz, whose work at Lakewood Farm illuminated a number of important political, social, and philosophical movements taking place during the Progressive Era in the early 20th century when government and individuals responded to the rapid industrialization in American.</p><br>
<p>Lakewood Farm is also significant because the architecture of three main buildings, and associated structures and objects, which were built and/or remodeled by Getz. They are striking examples of modern architecture at the turn of the century as the Stick Style of the late nineteenth century transitioned to the new Arts and Crafts Movement taking place in the early twentieth century.</p><br>
<h2>Additional information</h2><br>
<p>The nonprofit Historic Ottawa Beach Society that operates the Pump House Museum in Holland, Michigan, retained the services of Lafferty van Heest and Associates to prepare the National Register nomination on behalf of the Bings, who own the project. The effort is in keeping with its mission to preserve local history. The organization also recovered, relocated, restored, and displayed outside its museum an original 6&#39;-tall, concrete decorative pillar that once marked the beach access at Lakewood Farm. It had fallen from the bluff onto the beach below and was discovered in 2020 during shore revetment work.</p><br>
<p>The American Box Board Company Headquarters and Factory is a former factory building located at 470 Market Avenue SW in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The American Paper Box Company was organized in 1903 by a group of businessmen from Grand Rapids. The company operated for a few years from a building on Ionia Street, then moved to a larger building on Summer Avenue, west of the Grand River, in 1907. In 1910, the American Paper Box Company created an associate company, the American Box Board Company, which began operations as a paper mill in a factory at the southwest corner of Godfrey and Market Avenues. They also created another subsidiary, the American Corrugating Company.</p><br>
<p>In 1914, American Paper Box merged with its subsidiaries and re-incorporated as the American Box Board Company. The company also purchased the Illinois-Michigan Fibre Box Company, and relocated its operations from Battle Creek to Grand Rapids. With the large number of operations under its roof, the American Box Board Company decided to construct a new headquarters and box factory next to their Godfrey Avenue paper mill. They purchased the property, constructed a new building, and moved all their operations in 1914. The new building had both factory space for all divisions and office space for the corporation. By 1917, the American Box Board Company was the second-largest industry in Grand Rapids.</p><br>
<p>The company continued operations during the Great Depression, employing about 550 people in Grand Rapids and 2500 people total in the US. After World War II, the company developed new methods to process trees previously considered unsuitable for usage, and began expanding their Michigan operations. In 1947, they purchased a plant in, near Manistee and in 1951, they built a new $2,000,000 plant was completed in Grandville, near Grand Rapids.</p><br>
<p>In 1959, the American Box Board Company merged with two other companies to form the Packaging Corporation of America.

<p>The Brookland Bowling Alleys is an Art Deco-style building in the Brookland neighborhood of Washington, D.C., that housed a bowling alley from its construction in 1939 until 1950. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2019.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building was constructed as a duckpin bowling alley in 1938 and 1939 for the Brookland Recreation Center, Inc., on 10th St. NE in the Washington, D.C., neighborhood of Brookland. It was designed by William Edward St. Cyr Barrington, an architect who had studied under Jules Henri de Sibour, in the Art Deco style. The building was initially one story tall, but a second story was added within a year of its opening.</p><br>
<p>Bowling saw a boom in popularity in this period as a form of cheap entertainment during the Great Depression. At the time of the Brookland Bowling Alleys&#39; construction, there were 13 other commercial bowling alleys in D.C.</p><br>
<p>The Brookland Bowling Alleys was managed by prominent local bowlers. It operated for just over 10 years, until a major fire damaged the structure in 1950. The blaze was attributed to "a cigarette, defective wiring or spontaneous combustion." The building was restored under Barrington&#39;s supervision, but it was repurposed as a wholesale store for electric lighting, parts, and appliances. It is currently occupied by Atlantic Electric Supply Corp.</p><br>
<p>The Brookland Bowling Alleys building is one of only a handful of remaining structures that once housed bowling alleys in D.C. The city&#39;s Historic Preservation Office described it as a "visual landmark of the neighborhood." It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 19, 2019.</p><br>
<p>The Slowe-Burrill House is a Queen Anne-style house in the Brookland neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Built in 1890, the home was occupied from 1922 to 1937 by Lucy Slowe and Mary Burrill, notable African American educators who are thought by historians to have been a couple. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020 for its significance to African American and LGBT history.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house at 1256 Kearney Street NE was built for the original owner James T. Ward, an Irish immigrant, in 1890. It is a two-and-a-half-story structure in Queen Anne style.</p><br>
<p>Lucy Slowe and Mary Burrill, two African American educators, bought the house together in 1922 after Slowe was appointed Dean of Women at Howard University.</p><br>
<p>At a time when lesbian relationships were extremely taboo, Slowe and Burrill kept their romantic relationship under wraps professionally, but their close friends treated them as a couple. They frequently used the property&#39;s spacious rear yard for social gatherings of African-American women intellectuals.</p><br>
<p>Howard president Mordecai W. Johnson at one point pressured Slowe to move onto campus, but she fought to remain in the house at 1256 Kearney. The pair lived there together for 15 years until Slowe&#39;s death in 1937, after which a mourning Burrill sold the house and moved into an apartment near Howard.</p><br>
<p>The D.C. Preservation League sought preservation status for the house based on the historical significance of its former occupants. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 5, 2020.</p><br>
<p>The Washington Yacht Club is a motorboating club on the Anacostia River in Washington, D.C.</p><br>
<p>Established in 1910 as an all-white organization, the club was integrated in the 1970s, prompting a turnover to predominantly African American membership. In addition to serving as a marina and social club, the Washington Yacht Club has advocated for the environmental protection of the Anacostia, which at one point was one of the most polluted rivers in the United States.</p><br>
<p>The group&#39;s clubhouse and surrounding property were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Washington Yacht Club was founded on April 27, 1910, by a group of motorboat enthusiasts. Its initial members were white residents of the area east of the Anacostia River in Washington, D.C. They were "proudly working class" boaters who often built their boats by hand. Samuel Masson was the club&#39;s founding commodore.</p><br>
<p>The organization was unusual among boating clubs in D.C. at the time for its sole focus on motorboats.</p><br>
<p>WYC was located at the bottom of Naylor Road SE from its founding until 1915, then relocated to near the Pennsylvania Avenue bridge pier, where they built a clubhouse. They were forced to move again in 1924, this time across from the east bank of the river to the west bank, settling at the club&#39;s current site at 1500 M St. SE. In early 1925, members towed the clubhouse across the river, where it stands to this day.</p><br>
<p>Besides the clubhouse, constructed in 1915, elements of the current site that are historically significant include a 1955 workshop, a 1920s electrical shed, and a portion of the Anacostia seawall.</p><br>
<p>Members of the yacht club served as on-call marine security during World War II. WYC members also contributed to environmental stewardship of the Anacostia River, reporting polluters and assisting with river cleanup from as early as 1923.</p><br>
<p>Nevertheless, the Anacostia became extremely polluted throughout the 1900s. Meanwhile, the citys racial layout shifted, with black residents increasingly shunted east of the river. John “Sonny” McLean became the first non-white member of the Washington Yacht Club in the 1970s. His membership was limited, however, as he was not allowed in the clubhouse except during important meetings and events. Subsequently, many white members left WYC in reaction to both the clubs increasing African American membership and the high levels of river pollution. It has since been described as "one of the oldest African-American yacht clubs in the country," though it is open to members from all backgrounds.</p><br>
<p>Women also began to join as individual members in the 1970s. Peggy Appellis, the first female individual member, also became the club&#39;s first female commodore in 1977.</p><br>
<p>In 2011, a fire destroyed four boats at the club.</p><br>
<h2>Present day</h2><br>
<p>The club sits along "Boathouse Row" in southeast Washington, within Anacostia Park. It is a member of the Historic Anacostia Boating Association.</p><br>
<p>Steve Ricks is the club&#39;s longtime commodore.</p><br>
<p>WYC applied for historic preservation status for its clubhouse and grounds, arguing, "The Washington Yacht Club clubhouse epitomizes not only the resilient spirit of Anacostia boating, but to some degree, that of people of Washington as well."</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 2, 2020.</p><br>
<p>The Old Deerfield Center Historic District is an area in the New Hampshire town of Deerfield; it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Old Deerfield Center was originally part of adjacent Nottingham, which was incorporated in 1722.

<p>Oscar Easley Block, also known as Historic City Hall, is a prominent building that was one of the early founding buildings in San Clemente, California,</p><br>
<p>originally built to house offices and a bank. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places listings in Orange County, California in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Construction</h3><br>
<p>Two years after the initial grading was completed by Oscar Easleys street grading crew, Easley acquired the property across the street from Ole Hansens real estate offices which were selling lots in the newly created city of San Clemente. Easley was also responsible for laying the foundation for Ole Hansen&#39;s beachfront home Casa Romantica.</p><br>
<p>In March 1929, a building permit was pulled to construct a two-story office building. The first floor of the office building would eventually be occupied by Bank of America, while the second floor would become offices for the Chamber of Commerce, and Headquarters of the Ole Hanson Organization.</p><br>
<p>The office building was designed by Virgil Westbrook who was also the designer of the San Clemente Beach Club. The building was built by Leroy M Strang. Virgel and Leroy both were elected in 1928 to the first five-member City Council of San Clemente. Leroy also served as the Mayor.</p><br>
<h3>Ownership</h3><br>
<p>In 1936 the building became property of the Bank Of America due to a foreclosure action. The building was then acquired by Bill Ayer Jr, who then sold it to a new owner, Leo Fessenden, who in 1956 initiated a retail music business called the "House Of Music" on the property.</p><br>
<p>The Ohio Baptist General Association Headquarters is a historic building in the Woodland Park neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio. It was listed on the Columbus Register of Historic Properties in 2019 and the National Register of Historic Places in 2020. The house was built for Jerimiah Foley from 1904 to 1905. It remained residential until 1954, when the Ohio Baptist General Association  purchased it to act as its headquarters. The association dedicated the building in October 1957, and fully converted it to offices by 1958. The OBGA ceased operations in the building in 1996, and is partnering in a restoration effort to preserve its historic features. The building, listed on the 2018 Columbus Landmarks "Most Endangered" register, is planned to gain residential units as well as return to acting as the organizations headquarters.</p><br>
<p>The Ohio Baptist General Association first moved into the neighboring 32 Parkwood Avenue in 1954. The building, an American Foursquare with bungalow elements, was constructed c. 1910. The association later acquired 40 Parkwood Avenue, a Midwest Modern brick apartment building constructed in 1963. Both neighboring buildings were likewise marked on Columbus Landmarks&#39; 2018 endangered properties list, but were demolished c. 2019–20.</p><br>
<p>The Thomas R. Wall Residence is a Colonial Revival style house in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 7, 1984.</p><br>
<p>The house is located on the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh campus. The university owns the house and property.</p><br>

<p>The Thomas R. Wall Residence was built between 1898 and 1900 by the prominent local architect William Waters. In 1855, Thomas Walls father came to Oshkosh and joined other industrialists in establishing the local lumber industry. Upon his death in 1896, the oldest of Walls sons, Thomas and James took over the family businesses. It was around this time that the house was built. Wall, who by 1928 had held positions as president of the Commercial National Bank of Oshkosh, and board member of multiple lumber companies left the house. He eventually sold to his son-in-law, Oshkosh businessman Morgan Davies. Wall had moved from the city to a country home in Windemere, on Lake Winnebago, where he died later in 1928. Davies, who was closely associated with the Morgan Co., a sash and door factory in the city, lived in the house until 1930–31. The house was again sold, to John H. Bartlett, Jr. of the Oshkosh Trunk Co. In 1947 the residence was purchased by the university and used in various functions. It is currently used as the Multi-Cultural Education Center, which it has done so since 1972. The house began to deteriorate, and by the 1990s, the university planned to demolish it due to “termite infestation and bad drinking water”. Chancellor Dr. Richard Wells decided against those plans and a committee was formed to save the residence. The committee eventually secured the funds to update the residence as well as make it compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. The Thomas R. Wall Residence remains as one of the few examples of architecture from the early lumber mill period in Oshkosh. It now stands alone amongst the many modern buildings constructed for the university, including in the shadow of the Taylor Residence Hall. The current capacity of the residence allows for free entry and use by university students, staff, and the community.</p><br>

<p>Lower Fox Creek School is a one-room schoolhouse that is part of the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve near Strong City, Kansas, United States.</p><br>
<p>Constructed in 1882, and used for classes from 1884 to 1930, the 24 foot by 30 foot stone building with cypress woodwork and pine flooring is located on a site provided by rancher Steve F. Jones. Stonemason David Rettiger constructed the building using limestone from the nearby Barney Lantry quarries.</p><br>
<p>In 1946-1947 the school district dissolved and the property deed reverted to the ranch owner. In 1968, local garden clubs sought permission from ranch owners, the Davis-Noland-Merrill Grain Company, to restore the building. After several years of restoration work, the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 6, 1974. In 1994, the property was purchased by the National Park Trust and on September 20, 2002, ownership of the schoolhouse and surrounding site was transferred to the National Park Service.</p><br>

<p>The Mottman Building is an historic commercial building located at the Northwest corner of Capitol Way N & 4th Ave W in downtown Olympia, Washington. Originally constructed in 1888 as the Olympic Block by Samuel Williams for Toklas & Kaufman to house their department store, the building was remodeled and expanded to its current state in 1911 by prominent Olympia realtor and eventual mayor George Mottman, whose own department store, the Mottman Mercantile, occupied the building until 1967. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The original occupant of the Mottman Building was the dry goods store of Gallewski Kaufman, one of the states most prominent mercantile men in the later 19th century. With partner Ferdinand Toklas they ran Olympias (and reportedly Southwest Washingtons) largest dry goods house, the New York Cash Store. Toklas, who had strong retail connections in New York, was also a partner in Toklas & Singerman (The San Francisco Store), Seattles largest dry goods house at the time dating back to the early 1870s. With Kaufman and his children, Toklas would later open a branch stores in Spokane (The Great Eastern Store) and Aberdeen and build that citys first brick building in 1891. In Olympia, Toklas and Kaufman opened their original store at the southeast corner of Capitol Way S and 4th Ave E but they soon outgrew the space and in 1888, Toklas son Nathan, recently returned from running their Spokane store, convinced them to have their own building constructed, eventually choosing the opposite corner of the intersection. They coordinated with Samuel Williams to build a large two-story building on his prominent corner lot previously occupied by Williams&#39; family home and hardware store. The Williams house was moved off of the lot and ground was broken in May 1888 and the building was mostly completed by November by contractor J.W. Roberts. They christened the building the Olympic Block, after the city but it was still commonly referred to as the Williams Block. Italianate in design with cast-iron details and a galvanized iron cornice, manufactured locally, the new building would be fully occupied by the dry goods store. A unique feature of the original building was a detached 2-story brick lavatory, that was accessed by a Skyway from the second story. An unadorned 1-story brick building directly to the north was built by Williams in tandem with the Olympic to fill the lot between it and the brick Olympic Hardware Company building. The total cost of the two buildings at the time was $18,000 (roughly $493,000 in 2020).</p><br>
<p>In 1894, Toklas retired and turned the Olympia and Aberdeen stores over to Kaufman and his sons. 1 year later George A. Mottman started his own dry goods store in the Stewart Block, once located at the Northeast corner of Capitol Way S & Legion Way SE. Mottman, a native of Germany who came to Olympia in 1884 and would later serve as mayor, had worked as a clerk for Toklas & Kaufman for several years upon arriving in Olympia before going into the real estate field. Within a few years of opening Mottmans had replaced Kaufmans as Olympias leading department store and when Kaufman retired in 1899, Mottman purchased the building and moved his store into the space. In 1911, he commissioned Tacoma architects Heath & Gove to completely remodel the building by opening up the first floor storefronts and adding a third floor which included the installation of Olympias first elevator. The renovations involved removal of much of the cast iron elements and smoothing away most of the original architectural details however the original cornice was saved and reattached to the third floor. With the Olympic lettering removed the building became known as the Mottman Building. The building survived the 1949 Olympia earthquake with significant damage but unlike many of Olympias other 19th century structures, retained all of its floors. Mottmans continued to operate in the building until going out of business in 1967.</p><br>
<p>The Jaeger Machine Company Office Building is a historic building in the Arena District neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>The two-story concrete building was constructed in 1936. It was designed simply and affordably, but with Art Deco features for a modern design. The design was by O. G. Mandt, company president, and Lyon Gardner, an engineer. The company was founded in 1906 and successfully produced cement mixers. It declined over time, finally shuttering in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The building stands as a rare example of the Art Deco movement for industrial buildings in Columbus.</p><br>
<p>The Julian and Kokenge Company building, now known as the Julian, is a historic building in the River South District of Downtown Columbus, Ohio. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<p>The L-shaped building was constructed in two portions: the southern portion in 1921 along West Main St. and the eastern portion in 1932, extending north along Wall St. The building was the manufacturing plant of the Julian and Kokenge Co., a shoe company founded in Cincinnati in 1893. The company relocated to Columbus, constructing the building in 1921, designed by the Frank Hill Smith Co. of Dayton. The shoe company was headquartered here until shuttering in 1975. The Julian was renovated from 2014 to 2016, modifying the space into apartment units. The building&#39;s 85 percent window to wall ratio was seen as a positive for redevelopment, although a challenge while renovating: the windows were covered when the building was used as a storage facility in the 1970s. Another aspect that encouraged redevelopment was the L-shaped layout, allowing for light to all sides of the building.</p><br>
<p>The Ohio Farm Bureau Federation Offices are two historic buildings in Downtown Columbus, Ohio. The buildings were listed together on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<p>620 E. Broad was built for Benjamin Huntington, brother of the founder of Huntington Bancshares. 630 E. Broad was built for Andrew Denny Rogers, locally known as the founder of the Columbus Club and the Columbus Consolidated Street Railway Co.

It served as the local headquarters for the Knights of Columbus. The Roman Catholic order the Salesian Society acquired the building in 1968, and it became known as the Salesian Boys and Girls Club. It later served as the Bosco Center, until May 2017.</p><br>
<p>The five-story building has numerous athletic facilities: a gymnasium, bowling alley, swimming pool, and basketball court, in addition to a grand ballroom.</p><br>
<p>Gaetz Music House is a historic building in Downtown Columbus, Ohio. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<p>The building was constructed c. 1885 in a simplified Commercial style design, with an unknown architect and builder. The building became known for Charles A. Gaetzs wholesale and instrument repair shop, established in 1911 and operating out of the building beginning in 1919. Gaetz purchased the entire building in December 1931. The business operated past his 1957 death, operating via his son, Lloyd F. Gaetz. The business ceased operations in 1972 with Lloyds death.</p><br>
<p>Other early tenants included Logan McCormicks art, frame, and photography shop at 49 W. Long, operating until 1930. 51 W. Long housed a grocery store, operated by H.W. ONeill and later the M.J. Kingry Co., operating until c. 1924. 53 W. Long housed a print and engraving shop owned by F. F. Vance, operating until Gaetz moved into the space in 1919.</p><br>
<p>From 2015 to 2020, the building and its neighbors, including the Ohio Finance Building at 39-47 W. Long St. and Rooming House building at 31-37 W. Long St., were renovated to hold apartment units. The $11 million project, known as Microliving at Long & Front, has small apartment units, ranging from 207 to 735 sq ft. The units are the developer&#39;s second microliving project, after the nearby Stoddart Block building was completed. The apartment complex opened in June 2020.</p><br>
<p>The Ohio Finance Building is a historic building in Downtown Columbus, Ohio. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<p>The seven-story Commercial-style building was completed in 1910, with an unknown architect and builder. Originally known as the Peter Powers Building, it was primarily used for light industrial uses until the early 1920s: machine shops, clothing manufacturers, and printers. As industries left downtown, the building was slowly converted into office space. By 1923, it became known as the Crumrine Building once the Arthur M. Crumrine Co., a large advertising company, acquired offices there. In 1925, the Ohio Finance Company moved into the building and gradually became its sole tenant. In 1954, the Columbus Transit Company began leasing offices there as well, sharing the space with the finance company until 1960, when the Ohio Finance Co. went out of business. The transit company left the space in 1970 (its services replaced by COTA in 1971–74), and the building sat vacant for about fifteen years. It has been used minimally for offices and commercial storefronts since the mid-1980s.</p><br>
<p>From 2015 to 2020, the building and its neighbors, including the Gaetz Music House building at 49-53 W. Long St. and Rooming House building at 31-37 W. Long St., were renovated to hold apartment units. The $11 million project, known as Microliving at Long & Front, has small apartment units, ranging from 207 to 735 sq ft.

<p>The Old North End Historic District is a historic district in the Italian Village neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. A boundary increase was approved to the register in 1999. District boundaries overlap with the city&#39;s Italian Village Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is primarily residential, dating to the 19th and early 20th centuries. The neighborhood primarily housed railroad workers employed at the nearby Union Station. The district is one of few remaining structures related to the rail industry in the city, as its stations, yards, and many of its warehouses have been demolished. Other rail worker neighborhoods like Flytown have since been demolished as well. The Old North End Historic District is also the earliest of the city&#39;s north side districts.</p><br>
<p>The Old Glynn County Courthouse, also known as the Historic Brunswick Courthouse, is a historic courthouse in Brunswick, Georgia. The building, designed by architect Charles Alling Gifford, was constructed between 1906 and 1907. The building is a contributing property to the Brunswick Old Town Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Background</h3><br>
<p>There is evidence of a courthouse building constructed in Brunswick, Georgia some time before 1829, and while the ultimate fate of this building is unknown, it most likely burned down. Following this, court activities were held in rented spaces until 1884, when a wooden courthouse was constructed. The building&#39;s construction coincided with a growth in activity of the Port of Brunswick, and several years later, in 1892, a new city hall building designed by Alfred Eichberg was constructed. This city hall contained courtrooms that served the city court as well as the county court for Glynn County. There is evidence that in 1897, plans were put forward to construct a new courthouse designed by Frank Pierce Milburn, but a failure by the city to secure a bond issue caused the project to die.</p><br>
<h3>Construction</h3><br>
<p>Construction on a new county courthouse began in 1906, with New York City-based Charles Alling Gifford serving as the projects architect. Gifford had previously designed much of the Jekyll Island Club, which is also located in Glynn County. On June 20 of that year, city officials accepted construction proposals for the building based on Giffords design. Construction was completed in 1907. The location for the new building is what is now the Brunswick Old Town Historic District, which is listed as a historic district by the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h3>Modifications and restoration</h3><br>
<p>During the 1970s energy crisis, the exterior of the building was covered by a façade to increase energy efficiency. Additional modifications to the building over the next several decades included the installation of sound boards for soundproofing and dropped ceilings. In 1991, a new courthouse was built which partially replaced this building. Phase II, which cost approximately $1.2 million, included the installation of fire detection and prevention systems and bringing the building up to compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Following this, a Phase III (with a cost of between $1 million and $1.5 million) focused on interior renovations. Following the Phase II renovations, the courthouse served as the meeting place for the county commission.</p><br>
<p>As of 2019, due to a lack of space at the new facility, the Old Glynn County Courthouse houses the county&#39;s probate court.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The building, despite laid out in a cross-like shape similar to Southern Neoclassical Revival courthouses, is primarily influenced by American Renaissance Revival architecture. The foundation for the building consists of 24 inch thick granite footers. The building features a brick exterior, limestone stoops at the entrances, and terracotta window-frames. The courtrooms feature balconies, built as a result of racial segregation in the United States.</p><br>
<p>The building is surrounded by southern live oak trees covered with Spanish moss that partially obscure the building. According to one historian, "the effect of this building today is moody and nostalgic, recalling not the pure light of the Renaissance but a shadowy classical ruin, more emotionally poignant and appropriately Southern than any new structure."</p><br>
<p>The Stoddart Block is a historic building in Downtown Columbus, Ohio. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994. The building was constructed in 1911 and designed by the local firm David Riebel & Sons. It was designed for a large furniture store, the Frohock Furniture Company, which operated there until 1938. A second furniture company, Hadleys Furniture Company, occupied the building until 1962. It then operated as the Childrens Hospital&#39;s thrift shop, from 1962 to 1990. By 2014, the building held 52 low-income apartments. It was renovated into affordable micro-apartments at this time.</p><br>
<p>The building has five stories. It has a red brick exterior, flat roof, and steel-reinforced concrete structure. It has three bays on its west side and six on its north. A stone panel above the top floor reads "Stoddart 1911". By 1994, the only alterations affected the storefront level.</p><br>
<p>The Franklinton Apartments at Broad and Hawkes are a set of historic buildings in the Franklinton neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio.

<p>The L. Hoster Brewing Company is set of historic buildings in the Brewery District of Columbus, Ohio, United States. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<p>The complex is under renovation, expected to be completed in summer 2023. The new development will be called Front & Fulton; it will have restaurant, cafe, bar, office, and apartment spaces.</p><br>
<h2>Attributes</h2><br>
<p>In 2019, the site included eight buildings, constructed from about 1887 to 1967. The easternmost building was a 1960s-era Wasserstrom store.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The brewing company was established in 1836 in the present-day Brewery District. It grew to encompass numerous buildings. By 1892, it became the leading Columbus brewery and a household name in Ohio. Around 1920, Prohibition began to hinder the industry, and the brewery created soda and imitation beer products, though without success, forcing its closure.</p><br>
<p>A portion of the building, facing Front Street, was demolished for "future development" in 1965, by S.G. Loewendick & Sons.</p><br>
<h3>Legacy</h3><br>
<p>A brewpub acquired the name "Hoster Brewing Company" in 1989, opening that year in the High Line Car House at 55 S. High St. The brewery served numerous beers, including the historic "Gold Top" lager brew, a new but similar recipe. It began distributing to local restaurants in 1991. The brewery shut down in 2001, and its assets were purchased by another brewer in 2004. The brewer began distributing the flagship beer again in 2005, utilizing regional breweries. In 2011, the Hoster Brewing Company moved to a 26,000-square-foot space in the Near East Side. The company will open a brewery and taproom near the John Glenn Columbus International Airport in June 2023.</p><br>
<p>The remaining brewery buildings are set to be redeveloped into a complex called Front & Fulton. The project was announced in 2019 and estimated at the time to cost $77 million, including a boutique hotel, rooftop bar, restaurants, as well as event, office, and retail space. The buildings received $5 million in Ohio historic preservation tax credits in 2019. It was planned for the former Wasserstrom store to be removed and replaced with a seven-story hotel. In 2021, the project was updated to a cost of $105 million, with 40 apartments and similar other uses, including four to five bars, restaurants, and coffee shops; the hotel was cut from the plan and replaced with a two-story restaurant and office space with a rooftop bar. The estimated completion date was moved from 2021 to summer 2023.</p><br>

<p>A concrete garage for priests who reside in the rectory was built in 1954</p><br>
<p>The Joshua Wentworth House is an historic building in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, which was formerly individually listed in the National Register of Historic Places . The building was again listed in 1975 as a contributing resource to the Strawbery Banke Historic District, and is a contributing resource to the Portsmouth Downtown Historic District placed on the NRHP in 2017.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The building, erected in 1770, previously was located at 119 Hanover Street in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Joshua Wentworth (1742–c. 1809), The house has similarities to the Gov. John Wentworth House and the Wentworth-Gardner House, both of which are also located in Portsmouth.</p><br>
<p>In 1970, the organization overseeing the Strawbery Banke historic district in Portsmouth undertook an effort to save the house, as it was threatened with destruction as part of an urban renewal project. While a move date of May 1971 was set,</p><br>
<p>In May 1973, due to logistical difficulties with potentially moving the house across the city of Portsmouth by land, the possibility of moving it on a barge via the Piscataqua River was considered. The building, with an estimated weight of 190 shortton including its chimney, was moved the following month, with a significant part of the journey being on a barge. The house was de-listed from the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<p>Since the move, the building has been located at 27 Hancock Street in Portsmouth. The Strawbery Banke organization undertook a restoration effort on the house in 1980. Work on the house yielded more insight about its history: originally built as a single-family house, it was converted into a duplex in 1820, and later served as a tenement, bakery, and finally as a newspaper office. As of January 2018, the Joshua Wentworth House was privately owned.</p><br>
<p>The Hartley Mound is a Native American burial mound in Columbus, Ohio. The mound was created around 2,000 years ago by the Pre-Columbian Native American Adena culture. The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. The mound measures 2 ft. high and 43 ft. in diameter. The site&#39;s location near a tributary to a major waterway, artifacts found nearby, and the small subconical form of the mound, suggests that it was built by the Adena culture . It is one of few mounds not seriously disturbed by agriculture, industry, or illegal excavation. Upon archaeological excavation, the site should provide information on Adena burial customs and domestic or mortuary structures.</p><br>
<p>Resources about the site, including its National Register of Historic Places nomination, are restricted under the Archaeological Resources Protection Act of 1979.</p><br>
<p>The Crawford Street Historic District encompasses a collection of primarily residential apartment houses on Crawford Street between Elm Hill Avenue and Warren Street in the Roxbury neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts, united States. The area was developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and features well-preserved wood frame single and multi-family residences from that period, as well as the city&#39;s only extant Brutalist style branch library building. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Crawford Street is located in southern Roxbury, extending west from Warren Street. Its easternmost block was originally part of the Elm Hill country estate, and was subdivided for development in the 1870s. During this period, Roxbury (annexed to Boston in 1868) experienced rapid growth as a streetcar suburb. Early construction was of larger wood-frame houses with typical late Victorian styling, while later additions included multi-family houses and an apartment block at the corner of Crawford and Elm Hill Avenue. The area&#39;s early residents were generally from older New England families, and there was an influx of Jewish households in the 1910s and 1920s. In the mid-20th century the area became predominantly African-American. Emblematic of this change in demographics was the conversion of a former Hebrew College building to Freedom House, a social and community center focused on improving the conditions for African-Americans in Roxbury. As part of a redevelopment effort supported by the city and Freedom House, the city built the Brutalist Grove Hall branch library at the corner of Warren and Crawford Streets. This building was closed as a library in 2009 and was subsequently acquired by Freedom House.</p><br>
<p>Hale Hall is a historic building of the Ohio State University main campus in Columbus, Ohio. It was built in 1909–1911 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. It is only one of four buildings on campus on the National Register; the others are the Ohio Stadium and Hayes and Orton Halls.</p><br>
<p>The building was designed by George S. Mills and built from 1909 to 1911. Although built as a student union, the building was replaced by Building 058, completed in 1951. The old building was then remodeled for student services, completed by 1953. The student health service moved out in 1969, and most of the remaining student services had moved by 1976. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, despite opposition from the university&#39;s executives.</p><br>
<p>From 1989 to 2020, the building or its predecessor served as the Frank W. Hale Jr. Black Cultural Center, a student center and gathering space for Black students at the college. It was named for the former vice provost for Diversity and Inclusion and professor emeritus at Ohio State, who spent years creating opportunities for students of color while creating safe spaces for these students. The students had fought for their own space, resulting in the center&#39;s establishment. The center lost its space in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic and the building was converted for classroom use. Black student groups are working to have the space return to acting as a cultural center.</p><br>
<p>The McDannald Homestead was a house in Columbus, Ohio. It was built c. 1850 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. The house was one of the largest and best preserved rural residential buildings in Franklin County. The house was a sanctuary stop on the Underground Railroad. It was demolished by Allstate on September 24, 1993, as the organization had planned to build a commercial office park there. Then-city councilor Michael Coleman expressed that it could have been saved if added to the Columbus Register of Historic Properties, which had just added demolition restrictions that July.</p><br>
<p>The house had two and a half stories, and was built of red brick made on-site. It had thirteen rooms, mostly large, square, and with tall ceilings. The house was largely constructed from materials on the land, including walnut and cherry wood, though the parlor utilized pine transported from Michigan. The architect and builder are both unknown, though it is presumed Randal R. Arnold, a master carpenter who built many houses in the surrounding Blendon Township, also constructed this one.</p><br>
<p>The Hartman Hotel is an condominium complex and former hotel and office building in Downtown Columbus, Ohio. The building was completed in 1898 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018.</p><br>
<p>The six-story Neoclassical building was designed by the local firm Kremer & Hart. It operated as the Pe-Ru-Na Company headquarters from 1898 to 1902, when it became the Hartman Hotel. The hotel closed in 1921, and the building began to house Ohio governmental agencies. Most of these departed in 1933, though the building maintained offices until 1992. It stood vacant from 1992 to 1999, when it was renovated and restored. Another renovation took place from 2005 to 2008, creating condominiums on much of the building&#39;s floor space.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building was designed as an office building, housing the headquarters of the Pe-Ru-Na (or Peruna) Company. The company, owned by Samuel Brubaker Hartman, grew to encompass large areas of the city. Hartmans holdings included another office building, a downtown factory and administration building, a surgical hospital, a theater, and his own mansion. Today, only the Hartman Hotel remains. The building opened as the Hotel Hartman in November 1902, and included a restaurant, ballroom, gymnasium, ladies parlor, smoking room, and elaborate sixth-floor dining room. Around 1905, Hartman replaced the gymnasium with his own bank, the Market Exchange Bank. Hartman died in the building in 1918, and the hotel closed three years later.</p><br>
<p>From 1906 to 1909, the building had served as the official residence of the governor of Ohio, Andrew L. Harris. Until 1919, governors chose houses, hotels, or rented spaces to act as their residence in the state capital. After the hotel&#39;s closure, the state of Ohio decided to lease the building to consolidate its scattered state departments, and the hotel became known as the Ohio Building.</p><br>
<p>The Ohio Building served Ohios Industrial Commission, Commission for the Blind, State Library of Ohio, and the departments of Health, Highways, Insurance, and Industrial Relations. These offices remained in the hotel building until 1933, when the Ohio Departments Building opened, further consolidating department spaces. Nevertheless, some state agencies continued to use spaces in the buildings for further decades, the last moving out in the early 1970s. The Huntington National Bank purchased the building and its bank branch in the early 1960s, operating until 1992. The building then became vacant and fell into disrepair. A developer renovated the building in 1999, restoring original details and adding a modern glass staircase at the buildings rear.</p><br>
<p>The hotel building was renovated further from 2005 to 2008, adding residential condominiums to floors two through six. The building is now known as the Hartman Loft Condominiums. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018.</p><br>
<p>The Plaza Hotel was a building in the King-Lincoln Bronzeville neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio. It was built c. 1895 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>The building was built in a commercial Italianate style, with a brick exterior and three stories. The building was seven bays wide and eleven deep. The hotel faced Long St., with a distinctive facade including carved stone lintels on its upper-floor windows and a decorative metal cornice with a central gable. At the time the building was nominated for the National Register, it was one of few in the area retaining characteristics of the late 19th century.</p><br>
<p>The building originally held apartments on its upper floors, but it was converted to hotel use in 1929. The hotel was open to African Americans who were not welcome in many hotels in Columbus. It also attracted those who frequented the many clubs in the area, including nationally known musicians. In the mid-to-late 20th century, highway construction and deterioration damaged the neighborhood. By 1984, the building was vacant.</p><br>
<p>The Brooklyn Trust Company Building is a bank and residential building at 177 Montague Street in the Brooklyn Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn in New York City, New York, United States. Constructed for the Brooklyn Trust Company from 1913 to 1916, it occupies a site between Montague Street to the south, Clinton Street to the west, and Pierrepont Street to the north. The Brooklyn Trust Company Building was designed by York and Sawyer in the Renaissance Revival style and is patterned after the Palazzo della Gran Guardia in the Italian city of Verona. The building&#39;s facade and interior are New York City designated landmarks, and the building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The building is divided into two parts: the main section to the west and an annex on Pierrepont Street to the east. The three-story base of the main building, as well as the annex, are clad with rusticated stone blocks. There are double-height arches facing all three streets; the arches on Montague and Pierrepont Streets contain ornate entrances. The fourth and fifth stories are treated like a loggia, with windows separated by pilasters, while the roof is made of Spanish tile. Inside, entrances on Montague and Pierrepont Street lead to ornamental vestibules. The rectangular banking room next to Clinton Street has Cosmati marble floors, yellow-beige marble walls, and a colorful vaulted ceiling. The building originally had additional offices on the ground, fourth, and fifth stories, as well as two bank vaults in the basement. Although the banking hall still serves as a Chase Bank branch, the upper stories contain 12 condominium apartments.</p><br>
<p>The Brooklyn Trust Company had occupied the corner of Montague and Clinton Streets since 1873 and had grown significantly over the next half-century. The bank acquired the Brooklyn Club&#39;s adjacent clubhouse in 1913 and constructed a new headquarters in two phases, which were completed by September 1916. The upper floors were originally rented out as offices, while the bank occupied the ground floor. Through several mergers, the Brooklyn Trust Company became part of JPMorgan Chase, which sold the building in 2007. The structure has been owned since 2009 by the Stahl Organization, which converted the upper floors to condos between 2012 and 2015.</p><br>
<h2>Site</h2><br>
<p>The Brooklyn Trust Company Building is located in the Brooklyn Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn in New York City. It occupies a narrow land lot on the east side of Clinton Street, between Montague Street to the south and Pierrepont Street to the north. The site covers an area of 13,150 ft2. It adjoins the Peoples Trust Building and 185 Montague Street to the east, Other nearby buildings include the Montague–Court Building at the eastern end of the block; the Brooklyn Union Gas Company Headquarters one block southeast; the Center for Brooklyn History building and the St. Ann & the Holy Trinity Church, just across Clinton Street to the west; and the Crescent Athletic Club House of Saint Anns School, to the northwest across Clinton and Pierrepont Streets. An entrance to the New York City Subways Borough Hall/Court Street station is across the street from the buildings Montague Street entrance.</p><br>
<p>The Brooklyn Trust Company Building site was historically owned by Hezekiah Pierrepont, one of Brooklyn Heights developers; Pierrepont Street was named for him, while Montague Street was named for his relative Lady Mary Wortley Montagu. Just prior to the construction of the current building, the corner of Clinton and Montague Streets was occupied by a house, which had been built in the 1850s as the residence of politician George Taylor and became the banks headquarters in 1873. An increasing number of businesses were moving to the area by the 1890s, and the adjacent block of Montague Street was nicknamed "Bank Row" after several bank buildings were built there in the 1900s.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Brooklyn Trust Company Building was designed by bank architects York and Sawyer for the Brooklyn Trust Company. The building&#39;s design was inspired by that of the Palazzo della Gran Guardia in the northern Italian city of Verona. When the building was erected in the 1910s, freestanding bank buildings in New York City were becoming prevalent, and many similar structures were being constructed with classical design details. After designing the Brooklyn Trust Company Building, York and Sawyer used a similar architectural style for the Federal Reserve Bank of New York Building and the Apple Bank Building, both in Manhattan.</p><br>
<p>Despite only appearing as a four-story structure, the Brooklyn Trust Company Building is five stories tall (including its annex). The roof of the main structure is covered with green tiles. The Brooklyn Trust Company Building&#39;s facade and interior are both protected as New York City landmarks, and the structure was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<h3>Facade</h3><br>
<p>The facade, designed in the Italian Renaissance style, and is divided horizontally into two sections. The ground and third stories comprise the base, which is clad in blocks of rusticated and vermiculated limestone above a pink-granite water table. The fourth and fifth stories are treated as a piano nobile and contain a colonnade of double-height engaged columns and pilasters in the Corinthian order, which in turn are made of smooth limestone. At the northeast corner of the building, there is a three-bay-wide annex with a rusticated limestone facade.</p><br>
<h4>Montague Street</h4><br>
<p>On the Montague Street elevation of the facade, the main decorative element is a round arch at the center, which is accessed by a stoop with five steps. The stoop is flanked by stone pedestals with cast-iron torchères The entryway itself is recessed and consists of a set of double-height wrought-iron gates with foliate ornament, as well as a set of inner doors made of bronze and glass. When the bank is open, the wrought-iron gates retract into a rectangular Roman Imperial-style frame made of fine-grained limestone. This frame contains rinceaux with scrolled acanthuses, as well as motifs of flowers, birds, animals, and urns with centaur-like figures on either side.</p><br>
<p>On the facade, at ground level, there is one rectangular window with a metal grille on either side of the centrally positioned entryway, as well as voussoirs in the lintel above the window; the central voussoir is a slightly protruding keystone. Above these rectangular windows, there are square windows on the mezzanine with similar voussoirs, and a flagpole extends outward from the central voussoir. At the mezzanine level, there is a lunette atop the arch, divided into three sections by vertical bands, which contains a stone grille with floral and urn patterns. The middle of the lunette has a plaque with the words "Erected MCMXV", topped by an eagle with spread wings, while the outer sections of the lunette contain scrolled acanthus-leaf motifs which flank the plaque. Atop this lunette is a cartouche of a shield with a carved eagle and inscriptions of two years in Roman numerals: MDCCCLXVI (1866), when the Brooklyn Trust Company received its charter, and MCMXV (1915), when the building was finished. The shield is topped by a winged helmet, which in turn is flanked by a set of interlocking key designs.</p><br>
<p>The piano nobile consists of a colonnade of three bays on the fourth and fifth stories. Each bay contains a two-over-two sash window; dark-red marble spandrels between the fourth- and fifth-story windows; and balustrades in front of each fourth-story window. Corinthian engaged columns separate each of the bays, and there are pilasters flanking the entire colonnade, as well as on either end of the facade. There is a frieze above the fifth story, with urns separating square panels and reliefs on the frieze. The panels contain inscriptions with the names "Greenpoint–Flatbush–Wallabout" on the left (west) and "Breucklyn–New Lots–Red Hook" on the right (east), all in capital letters. Just below the roof is a cornice with denticulation and water spouts with lions&#39; heads. The top story is under the tiled roof.</p><br>
<h4>Clinton Street</h4><br>
<p>The Clinton Street elevation is divided horizontally into two sections, similar to the Pierrepont and Montague Street elevations. The base is divided horizontally into nine bays. The two outermost bays contain rectangular windows at ground level and square windows on the third story; these windows have grilles and voussoirs, similar to the outer bays on the other elevations. The seven center bays contain double-height arches with recessed windows. Thick mullions divide the windows into six sections in a three-over-three configuration. There are painted stone panels beneath the windows, as well as voussoirs above.</p><br>
<p>The fourth and fifth stories are divided vertically into fourteen bays. On these stories, the extreme north and south ends of the Clinton Street elevation have pilasters and antae. In the two outermost bays, the fourth-story window has a balustrade and is topped by a cartouche and a triangular pediment. The fifth-story windows of the outermost bays are simple rectangular windows. The twelve center bays form a colonnade on the fourth and fifth stories. Each bay contains a two-over-two sash window, with dark-red marble spandrels between the fourth- and fifth-story windows, as well as balustrades in front of each fourth-story window. Corinthian engaged columns separate each of the bays, and there are pilasters flanking the entire colonnade, as well as on either end of the facade. There is a frieze above the fifth story, with the words "Anno Domini MCMXV" inscribed in capital letters at either end of the facade; these words are flanked by urns. Just below the roof is a cornice with denticulation and water spouts with lions&#39; heads.</p><br>
<h4>Pierrepont Street</h4><br>
<p>The facade of the main building on Pierrepont Street is similar to that on Montague Street, but the entrance is exactly at ground level, and the limestone frame within the arch has acanthus leaves at its base. Instead of torchères, octagonal lanterns are attached directly to the facade, with flowers and leaves topped by a fleur-de-lis pattern. The frieze at the top contains the inscriptions "New Utrecht–Flatland–Breucklyn" on the left (east) and "Gravesend–Gowanus–Bushwick" on the right (east), all in capital letters.</p><br>
<p>The first through third stories of the annex are clad with rusticated and vermiculated blocks similar to the main building, while the fourth and fifth stories have a smooth ashlar facade. The first story originally had windows shielded by grilles, and there are voussoirs above the first-story openings. On the second through fourth stories, there is a double window in the center bay and a single window in either of the outer bays. In addition, the center bay has a panel with an inscription above the window on the third story. To the left of this panel is a Renaissance-style shield with a checkerboard pattern, while to the right is a Renaissance-style shield depicting an oak tree with exposed roots.</p><br>
<h3>Interior</h3><br>
<p>The building contains an internal steel superstructure, and the foundations were also made of steel. including bank vaults in the basement and offices on the first three stories.</p><br>
<p>Following a renovation in the early 2010s, there have been a dozen condominiums on the upper stories, while the ground-story space continued to function as a bank. The condominium portion of the building has several amenity spaces, including a laundry room, a pet spa, a gymnasium, a lounge, playrooms for children and teenagers, and a room for music practice. There is also a rooftop terrace.</p><br>
<h4>Banking hall</h4><br>
<p>The interior of the banking hall is designed with elements of Ancient Roman architecture and Italian Renaissance architecture, The room is divided into seven bays on the west and east walls, and is accessed by the lobbies to its north and south. The marble floor is split into seven pieces, each corresponding to a bay on the west and east walls, and is made of gray, light beige, and green, and porphyry marble and stone. The floor had curved and rectangular borders made of tesserae. In addition, the banking floor had three bronze writing tables for customers, each of which had eight legs shaped like animals legs. The marble tellers counters on the eastern wall originally had bronze tellers&#39; cages, which were replaced by wood-and-Plexiglas enclosures in 1994.</p><br>
<p>The walls are clad with yellow-beige marble.</p><br>
<p>The north and south walls are similar to each other. A double-height doorway is at the center of both the north and south walls, surrounded by a molded frame with Roman-style decorations; the doorways themselves contain bronze-and-glass doors topped by transom windows. A Renaissance-style shield is placed atop the center of each door frame, above which is a panel with a carved phrase, which itself is flanked by various reliefs.</p><br>
<p>The banking hall&#39;s vaulted ceiling is cited as measuring high. The ceiling is extremely ornate and contains octagonal coffers. The plaster reliefs on the ceiling are painted blue, green, gold, and beige. The coffers alternate with lozenges and are arranged in a 52-by-12 grid. Above the arches on the west and east walls are lunettes with elaborate grilles. At the center of the ceiling are circular medallions with floral patterns and Greek-key borders in the second, fourth, and sixth bays from the south. Suspended from these medallions are multi-tiered, circular bronze chandeliers, with such decorations as caryatids, struts, and foliate brackets.</p><br>
<h4>Other lower-story spaces</h4><br>
<p>The banking hall is adjoined by entrance vestibules to the north and south, which are nearly identical in design, except for a letter box that is only present in the southern vestibule. Each vestibule has Cosmato marble floors, in addition to light-gray marble walls, which are chamfered at each corner. The western and eastern walls contain reliefs of shields with an eagle at the center, as well as garlands, fruit, and leaves on either side; there are four ventilation grilles below the western relief. The eastern wall additionally contains an alcove with elevator doors and a bronze-and-glass door to a staircase. The plaster ceiling of each vestibule contains multicolored reliefs and a hexagonal chandelier of bronze and glass hanging from a medallion at the center of the ceiling. The medallion is inset within a rectangular frame that contains Greek key motifs; there are depictions of monsters at each corner of the frame.</p><br>
<p>The doors on the eastern wall of the banking hall lead to the main office and its foyer, both of which have plaster ceilings and wood paneling on the walls. Cabinets are built into the walls of the foyer, and there are acanthus leaves and floral designs on the ceiling of the foyer. When the building opened, there was also a "retiring room" or lounge for female bank patrons, which was designed in the Adam style and had black walnut and old blue furniture. By the 2010s, a bank vault off the lobby had a pet-grooming station, and there was bicycle storage and stroller storage next to it.</p><br>
<p>The Brooklyn City Safe Deposit Company originally used the basement, which has an arched ceiling. The basement has a corridor with ornamental plasterwork; marble walls, similar to those in the banking hall; and marble floors, which have a light-gray marble border with inlaid gray marble. The northern side of the basement has two rooms for bank vaults, separated from the rest of the basement by a bronze screen with a central doorway and a clock. Each vault had walls measuring over thick, as well as doors that weighed apiece and could only be opened by first lowering the floor in front of the vault. According to contemporaneous sources, the vaults were capable of "resisting any known method of attack". The room containing the main bank vault is accessed by a set of six marble steps with bronze railings. The floor of the main bank vault room has a light-gray marble border surrounding a dark-gray marble panel, while the ceiling is vaulted. The main bank vault, on the room&#39;s northern wall, has a steel wall and door. The west and east walls contain doorways, with the eastern doorway leading to a smaller vault with a bronze vault screen.</p><br>
<h4>Upper stories</h4><br>
<p>The annex on Pierrepont Street originally had three stories of offices for the bookkeeping department, which was connected to the banking hall by a series of pneumatic tubes. Part of the fourth floor of the main structure had offices for Brooklyn Trust&#39;s board of directors. The rest of the top two stories were originally intended as offices, which were rented to outside firms. By the late 2000s, many of the upper-story spaces had been heavily modified, with elements such as dropped ceilings. The fourth-floor conference room was rectangular and had two bays of recessed windows on the walls, each consisting of five pairs of panes. The walls included sconces, and there was a fireplace on the south wall, with molded foliate ornaments and a marble frame. The ceiling was arched and contained geometrical and floral plasterwork motifs, as well as two chandeliers. On the fifth floor was a corridor that retained its original wood wainscoting, as well as doorways with wooden frames and transom bars on both sides. In addition, some of the fifth-story offices had black marble mantels.</p><br>
<p>Following the 2010s renovation, the condos on the upper stories have had up to five bedrooms; the majority of the condos have at least three bedrooms. The condos are accessed via a separate lobby on Pierrepont Street, which is clad in marble. Some of the residences retain the building&#39;s original fireplaces/ Because the building was protected as a landmark, the developers were not allowed to modify certain parts of the building, so the residential stories are suspended from trusses on the top story, and many of the apartments have unconventional features. Three duplex apartments have ladders connecting the main floor with the upper story. In another apartment, the master bedroom has a concealed panel that leads to the controls of one of the clocks in the banking hall; the manager of the bank had to enter that apartment twice a year to reset the clocks. Because of the preservation regulations, the top story has movable skylights but no windows.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Brooklyn Trust Company was chartered in 1866 and moved to George Taylors old house at the corner of Clinton and Montague Streets in 1873. To meet the banks growing needs, the house was expanded several times. After the Brooklyn Trust Company acquired the Long Island Loan and Trust Company in early 1913, bank officials sought to expand their quarters further. At the time, the existing headquarters of the bank measured.</p><br>
<h3>Development</h3><br>
<p>The Brooklyn Club agreed in November 1913 to sell its clubhouse at Clinton and Pierrepont Streets, adjacent to the Taylor house, to the Brooklyn Trust Company for $115,000, and the company made plans to replace both the Brooklyn Club building and the Taylor house. The structure was projected to cost about $500,000, $600,000, or $750,000. The new headquarters would be six times as large as the old one. York and Sawyer was hired to design the new building, and Marc Eidlitz & Son was hired as the contractor. In addition, James McLaren & Sons of Brooklyn was hired to create the buildings stonework, while William H. Jackson, also of Brooklyn, manufactured the wrought-iron gates and bronze tellers grilles.</p><br>
<p>Work on the building was underway by July 1914. The project employed workers from 104 trades. The first half was begun at the corner of Clinton and Pierrepont Streets, replacing the Brooklyn Club building, and was finished in mid-1915. The bank moved its operations to the Pierrepont Street half of the building on September 7, 1915. Officers offices were arranged near the southern end of the Pierrepont Street portion of the banking hall; as such, when the entire building was done, they would occupy the center of the banking hall. Work commenced on the Montague Street section later the same year. Despite a labor strike during construction, the Montague Street half opened on September 13, 1916. The completion of the building coincided with the banks 50th anniversary.</p><br>
<h3>Usage</h3><br>
<p>Among the buildings office tenants was law firm Cullen & Dykman, which moved into the Brooklyn Trust Company Building in 1915. The law firm remained on the buildings upper stories for most of the 20th century, even as it opened new locations across Long Island. The Brooklyn Trust Company continued to expand during the early 20th century, opening additional branches throughout New York City. By the 1930s, the Brooklyn Trust Company had 31 branches in New York City, including in Queens and Staten Island. One of the bank&#39;s branches, within Park Slope, was modeled after the design of its main headquarters on Montague Street. The Brooklyn Trust Company Building became a branch of the Manufacturers Trust Company when Brooklyn Trust merged into Manufacturers Trust in October 1950.</p><br>
<p>During the 1960s, Manufacturers Trust became part of the Manufacturers Hanover Corporation, which in 1966 relocated the Montague Street branchs counting operations to St. Johns Terminal in Manhattan. As part of "Brighten Downtown Brooklyn", an initiative supported by the Downtown Brooklyn Development Association, Manufacturers Hanover began illuminating the building&#39;s bronze torches at night in the late 1980s. In addition, Cullen & Dykman renewed its lease of the upper stories for twenty years in 1987. along with that of three other banks in Brooklyn and two in Manhattan. The bank building and its interior was designated as a New York City landmark on June 25, 1996.</p><br>
<p>Through various mergers, the bank building became a branch of JPMorgan Chase by the beginning of the 21st century. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 20, 2009.</p><br>
<p>The Stahl Organization announced in December 2012 that it would convert the annex of the Brooklyn Trust Company Building to 13 condominiums. Stahl had previously converted the upper stories of another landmarked bank, the Apple Bank Building in Manhattan, to condos. the banking hall would not be modified because it was a city landmark. The New York City Department of Buildings approved plans for the condo conversion in February 2013, and the developers released floor plans for the condos that August. The renovation was completed in 2015, and sales of the 12 condos began that May. Four of the twelve condos had been sold by the end of the year. The cheapest units cost $3.35 million; the high prices were attributed to what one real-estate agent called "great architectural plans given the limitations of the existing building".</p><br>
<h2>Reception</h2><br>
<p>When the Brooklyn Trust Company Building was being built, Brooklyn Life wrote that "this structure will be a decided addition to Brooklyns group of handsome buildings", The Standard Union wrote: "With the lofty Mechanics Bank Building at the other end of the block, they will be twin pillars of Brooklyns financial system."</p><br>
<p>A half-century after the buildings construction, architecture critic Henry Hope Reed Jr. wrote that the bank "is one of the finest of the sort". According to Reed, "even that lovely northern Italian city would not scorn this hall, with its Cosmatesque floor (marble work which resembles mosaic, as done by the Cosmati family of Rome) and its high, polychromed ceiling". In the 2008 edition of the Guide to New York City Landmarks, Matthew A. Postal and Andrew Dolkart wrote: "The Brooklyn Trust Company, established in 1866, was responsible for the construction of the most beautiful building on Brooklyns bank row."</p><br>
<p>The Hanford Village George Washington Carver Addition Historic District is a historic district in the Hanford Village neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<p>The George Washington Carver Addition is significant as part of a historic suburban municipality built for African American World War II veterans. The district illustrates the struggles and limits that Black citizens had in a segregated society. The district is also notable as the home of many of the Tuskegee Airmen while they operated out of the nearby Lockbourne Army Airport.</p><br>
<p>Franklin Park Medical Center is a historic building in Woodland Park, Columbus, Ohio. It was built in 1962 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016. It is significant for its Modernist architecture, one of few remaining commercial buildings in the style in Columbus, and has influences from Frank Lloyd Wright&#39;s Prairie School.</p><br>
<p>The building is also significant for its African American community history. The practice was founded by five doctors who were experiencing discrimination and segregation. Their combined efforts at Franklin Park Medical Center allowed them to be successful. The medical center operated until 2009. Columbus Landmarks supported an effort to nominate it to the National Register and restore it in 2015, led by a son of one of the five founding doctors.</p><br>
<p>The Anson Davis House and Anson Davis Springhouse are historic buildings in Columbus, Ohio, United States. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975, and the springhouse in 1979. The estate was deeded to Anson Davis from his father Samuel, a veteran of the Revolutionary War.</p><br>
<h2>House</h2><br>
<p>The two-story brick residence was constructed in 1848. It features a 1.5-story ell, built in 1854, with two dormers added in 1926. Anson Daviss father Samuel selected the houses site and planned its construction.</p><br>
<h2>Springhouse</h2><br>
<p>The Anson Davis Springhouse, also on the property, is listed separately on the National Register. Samuel built the one-story brick springhouse building for his son around 1850.</p><br>
<p>The Elam Drake House was a historic house in Columbus, Ohio, United States. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed for four years in a row as one of Columbus&#39;s most endangered historic buildings, as recorded by the Columbus Landmarks Foundation. The site, owned by the Columbus Regional Airport Authority, had been at risk for demolition to expand the John Glenn Columbus International Airport. In 2022, the house and surrounding structures were torn down to make way for a new development.</p><br>
<p>The William Terrell Homeplace in Gwinnett County, Georgia near Lawrenceville is a historic site which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>It was a two-story Plantation Plain-style plantation house, which in 1982 was the sole house on a 29 acre property. The house was built around 1827. It included Federal-style details including in its mantelpiece.</p><br>
<p>Around 1862 the house, then on an 870 acre tract, was inherited by Williams wifes son, a lawyer named Kenan T. Terrell (1826–1884).

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Governor John McGraw signed legislation establishing the New Whatcom Normal School on February 24, 1893, the first normal School in Western Washington. In November 1895, after enough funds were raised, construction began on a permanent school building on the Sehome Hill site by Fairhaven-based contractor W.B. Davey. Prominent Seattle architects Warren Skillings & James Corner were chosen to design the new building, a 4-story brick and stone building in the Italian Renaissance style. The structure was largely completed by February 1897 but could not be opened to students until additional funds could be secured to install heating, lighting, and to do general grounds maintenance, which were not included in the original contract. The first official class entered in 1899, composed of 88 students. Matching 4-story wings were added to the north and south ends of the building in 1907 under the direction of Bellingham architect Alfred Lee.</p><br>
