<p>The Edward Drinker Cope House is a historic house located at 2100–2102 Pine Street in Center City Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Built in 1880, it was a longtime home of Edward Drinker Cope , a prolific geologist and paleontologist and noted herpetologist who was one of the leading natural scientists of the 19th century United States. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1975.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Edward Drinker Cope House consists of two side-by-side rowhouses at the southwest corner of 21st and Pine Streets, southwest of Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia&#39;s Center City. It is 3.5 stories in height with a larger ceiling at the top floor. The front facades are clad with rectangular cut green stone laid in random courses. The side and rear sides are brick and it is topped with a mansard roof. The main facade has polygonal bays on the outside and a pair of arched entrances in the center bays.</p><br>
<p>The rowhouses were purchased by Cope shortly after their construction in 1880. He at first lived at 2100, using 2102 as storage and a work room. Financial reverses due to a poor investment in 1886 forced him to rent 2100 out, and he occupied 2102 until his death in 1897. The Pine Street home was filled with Copes papers, bones, stuffed and mounted animals, and specimens preserved in alcohol that covered his desks and an improvised shelf in his bathroom. Cope was a prolific and talented scientist, distinguishing himself in the field of paleontology, where he was one of the leading figures in the infamous Bone Wars competition that characterized the scientific investigations of the American West in the 1870s. He is ranked with Othniel Marsh and Joseph Leidy as one of the nations leading 19th-century paleontologists.</p><br>

<p>The Middletown Academy was a historic school located in Middletown, Delaware. Founded in 1826 through lottery subscription and constructed the following year, it became part of the public school system in 1876 and was closed in 1929. The school building survives and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 5, 1972. It presently houses the town historical society and chamber of commerce.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>The school building was constructed in two phases. The original building was a five bay, two and half story structure topped with an octagonal belfry (since converted into a closed cupola). The exterior walls are brick covered in stucco, the result of a trip to Philadelphia by a trustee sent to investigate the possibility. An annex was constructed around 1872, also of brick but painted rather than stuccoed. Both the annex and the original portion feature round-headed dormers to light the attic. There are three rooms on each floor and a central hall in the original section. This layout remains unchanged though the interior has been updated considerably over the years to accommodate the various tenants.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The academy had its genesis in an 1824 petition by a group of local farmers and merchants to the general assembly, asking that they be allowed to hold a lottery to construct a building for "an academy and elementary school, and also a room for public worship." The petition was granted to allow $6000 to be raised; this was amended the following year to $10,000. The lottery was sold in May 1825, and an initial six acre land purchase was made in November; one tenant refused to vacate, however, and William Crawford, one of the trustees of the nascent academy, donated an adjacent two acre lot the following May. The cornerstone was laid in August, and the school finally opened in October 1827.</p><br>
<p>The school operated as a private academy until 1876. In that year the building was leased to the two local public school districts, and the private academy was abandoned. Two years later the public schools were consolidated into a single Middletown school district, centered on the old academy building. Classes continued to be held there until 1929, when a new public school building was opened in the town. Eventually the academy trustees sold the building to the federal government, which planned to build a post office on the property. Popular reaction led to the formation of the St. Georges Hundred Historical Society, which took possession of the building in 1945. The town purchased the property in 1960, and over the years used it to house offices, a library, a police station and a meeting hall.</p><br>
<p>The Lower Blackburn Grade Bridge, also named the Van Duzen River Bridge or Mile 18 Bridge, is a 258 ft reinforced concrete through arch with a main span approximately 150 ft over the Van Duzen River about 4 mi west of Bridgeville, California, United States. It was active from its construction in 1925 to 1985 when replaced.</p><br>
<p>The bridge has inset panels along the ornate concrete through arch and an architectural rail and is the only reinforced concrete through arch built along the Van Duzen River Highway. It was one of five bridges on the Fortuna to Red Bluff route on California State Route 36 designed by architect John B. Leonard in the years 1923 to 1925. The bridge was built by Humboldt County in 1925 to replace the steep grades and dangerous curves of the Blackburn Grade and a covered bridge at Bridgeville. The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places on 25 June 1981.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was bypassed and abandoned for vehicle traffic in 1985 when a reinforced concrete box girder bridge replaced the older bridge.</p><br>
<h2>In popular culture</h2><br>
<p>In the 1995 film Outbreak, filmed mostly in nearby Ferndale, a helicopter chase on the Van Duzen River includes the helicopters flying under the Lower Blackburn Grade Bridge, skimming on the top of the river.</p><br>
<p>The Coal Gap School is a historic school building located near Garfield, Arkansas. The wood-frame school was built in 1928 to serve Benton County School District 105. The school served the rural area around the Glade community; it was built during a period of economic transition for the area, which had historically been an orchard farming community but was turning to grain farming and animal husbandry. In the 1960s, the creation of Beaver Lake separated the school from areas across the White River.</p><br>
<p>The origin of Coal Gap School is unknown but the Benton County school supervisor&#39;s office records indicated that directors are listed as early as 1887. Land for the school was given for the price of one dollar by Edd Jennings to be used as a school, according to courthouse deeds. Years ago, a two-story version, was moved several yards south where it became a barn. The second floor never became the lodge that was intended.</p><br>
<p>On January 20, 1949, both Coal Gap and Garfield agreed to dissolve Coal Gap School District No. 105 and annex it to the Garfield School District No. 114. Less than two months later, on March 5, 1949, the Garfield School District was dissolved and annexed to Rogers School District No. 30. Junior and senior high students from Glade and Garfield were to be bused into Rogers and the elementary grades remained in Garfield Schools.</p><br>
<p>The school house was the center of the community and with its closing, students traveled through Prairie Creek to go to Rogers Schools, but as Beaver Lake rose the route was changed and the students rode to Garfield and then to Rogers to attend school. Because it was so far, the students were dismissed an hour early to make the long trip home.</p><br>
<p>Coal Gap School was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 4, 1992.</p><br>
<p>Look See Tree is a lookout tree located at the southwest corner of Arkansas Highway 83 and Pleasant Springs Road in Coleman, Arkansas. The tree was used as a fire lookout for roughly ten to fifteen years from c. 1930 to c. 1940. As the tree was the tallest tree in what was at the time an open area, it provided an inexpensive lookout for Arkansas Forestry Commission rangers. The tree was fitted with climbing pegs, a platform, and a telephone line which connected to a ranger station. A fire tower eventually assumed the tree&#39;s function, but the pegs and platform were left in the tree. The Look See Tree was, as of 2006, the only remaining lookout tree in Arkansas.</p><br>
<p>The Look See Tree was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 23, 2008.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>William Penn gave 1250 acres in Pennsylvania to George Fox in 1681. Fox dedicated six acres in 1686 for a meeting house and burial ground near the current site of the burial ground. Burials began about 1707, but the site did not develop into an active burial ground. The Green Street Monthly Meeting took control of the site in 1818.</p><br>
<p>Following the Orthodox-Hicksite split, the three Hicksite meetings in Philadelphia in 1840 &ndash; Philadelphia Meeting, Spruce Street Meeting, Green Street Meeting &ndash; agreed to use the land for a burial ground. Starting in 1843, a Joint Committee on Interments oversaw the burial ground. The Fair Hill Meeting House was built nearby, on Cambria Street in the 1880s.</p><br>
<p>Both the meetinghouse and the burial ground were sold to Ephesians Baptist Church in 1985, but in 1993 the burial ground was purchased by the Philadelphia Quarterly Meeting, which continues to own and maintain it.</p><br>

<p>According to local tradition, the Wilds-Edwards house was not destroyed by General William T. Shermans army during the Campaign of the Carolinas because Klickner was in the detachment sent to burn Darlington and he persuaded the captain of the raiding company to delay its destruction. In the meantime, the Union troops encountered General Joseph Wheelers cavalry and were unable to return to burn Darlington.</p><br>

<p>The Village Hobby Shop is a historic building in the village of Mechanicsburg, Ohio, United States. Built on Main Street  in the late 19th century, it is one of the village&#39;s oldest extant commercial buildings, and it has been named a historic site.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Mechanicsburg was settled in 1814, but it initially grew slowly; the 1830 census found just 99 people in the village. Businesses were well established on Main Street downtown by 1840, as multiple great fires afflicted the community. While some of these fires harmed the village by destroying important businesses, including a major factory on South Main, others ultimately benefited the community by destroying ramshackle buildings and forcing the construction of better structures. The Hobby Shop building was typical of the period; built in 1880, it was home to Traders Bank and to Schetters Jewelry Store at different times. Starting in 1901 and continuing into the 1910s, the building was home to John Brinnon&#39;s Meat Market. By 2010, the building had become home to a beauty parlor.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Village Hobby Shop is a thoroughly brick building; its walls, its foundation, and its decorative elements are all brick masonry. Numerous architectural elements combine to make it a clear example of the Italianate style of architecture, including the massive arches over the large display windows, a small cornice over the entrance and windows, and the imitation arcade situated underneath the bracketed upper cornice.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>In 1985, the Village Hobby Shop was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying both because of its architecture and because of its place in Ohios history. It was part of a multiple property submission of approximately twenty buildings, scattered throughout the village in such a low concentration that a historic district designation was not practical. Many of the twenty buildings were residences or churches, but the Hobby Shop was one of several commercial buildings in the group, along with Hamers General Store, the Magruder Building, the 1830 Lawler&#39;s Tavern, and the four buildings of the Mechanicsburg Commercial Historic District.</p><br>
<p>St. Patrick&#39;s Catholic Church is a historic Catholic church located in Perry, Iowa, United States. The parish is part of the Diocese of Des Moines. The church building, which is built of stone in the Gothic Revival style, and the rectory were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Rev. James Brazil from St. Ambrose Church in Des Moines offered the first Mass in Perry in 1871. He and other priests celebrated Mass in the homes of Catholic people in town. The property at the corner of Third and Lucinda streets was purchased in 1874 and a small frame building was constructed for a church. At the time it was part of the Diocese of Dubuque. Father Brazil celebrated the first mass in the new church, and the Rev. Charles Toner became the parish&#39;s first pastor the same year. The parish became part of the Diocese of Davenport when it was established in 1881. As the Catholic community increased in size the church became too small. Plans were drawn up for a red brick church that was completed in 1883.</p><br>
<p>By the time the Rev. James Cleary became the pastor in 1898 the second church was also becoming too crowded. The parish voted to build a third church in 1900. It was designed by Rock Island, Illinois architect George Stauduhar in the Late Gothic Revival style. He was responsible for designing over 200 churches between 1890 and 1928. The old church was taken down by Hollenbeck and Sons of Des Moines before the new church could be built. The cornerstone was laid in 1901 and it was completed the following year by McCavick and Squires of Marshalltown, Iowa.</p><br>
<p>The parish joined the Diocese of Des Moines when it was established in 1911. Renovations to the church were done in 1930, 1940, 1954, and 1980. The most recent interior renovations were undertaken from 1993 to 1999. The original slate roof was replaced by an asbestos shingle roof around 1970. In 2010 it was replaced by a new slate roof. The old frame rectory was replaced by a 1½-story concrete block structure with a Lannon stone veneer. It was designed by Des Moines architect Amos Emery and built by Ringland Johnson of Des Moines.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The church building is largely rectangular in shape measuring 105 x, with a 98 ft bell tower. The hexagonal structure on the north side of the main facade originally housed the baptistry. Its exterior walls are composed of Stone City limestone. Above the main entrance is a large pointed arch window flanked by two smaller pointed arch windows. Buttresses divide the side elevations into seven bays. The nave is marked by stained glass windows that alternate down each side elevation. Larger windows are located in the bays with wall dormers. The bays in between have paired lancet windows. The back wall is flat, concealing the rounded apse within.</p><br>
<p>The interior features a 37 ft rib vaulted ceiling that is supported by ten heavy hardwood hammer beams. The beams are embellished with trefoil, quatrefoil, and circular tracery. A large pointed arch frames the main altar area, and it is flanked by two smaller arches that frame the side altars. The side altar on the right has a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the one the left a statue of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. On the apse ceiling are paintings of nine saints added during the 1954 renovation. They cover what had been windows. The columns that frame the arches are adorned with capitals in the Corinthian order.</p><br>
<p>The modified U-shaped rectory is connected toward the back of the church&#39;s west elevation by a hyphen. Its main entrance is on the west elevation facing a large yard. The stone and the steeply pitched slate roof were designed the match the church. The building provides living space for the priest in one section and office space for the parish in another.</p><br>
<p>The E. A. and Ura Wharton House in Manhattan, Kansas was built in 1897 for Edward Augustus and Ura Burgoyne  Wharton and added to the USA National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<p>The first story of the home is built of native limestone, from a quarry owned by William and Edward Ulrich. Wharton moved to Manhattan from Pennsylvania in 1880; his wife was a native of Manhattan. He opened the New Dry Goods Store on April 1, 1887, and operated the business until he sold it in 1909. Wharton was also active in local politics. He was elected one of three trustees of Manhattan Institute on January 15, 1903, and was elected March 26, 1903 to represent Ward IV on the Manhattan City Council.</p><br>
<p>E. A. Wharton died in 1939 and Ura died in 1941. The house was willed to Uras sister, Lillian M. Greene with the stipulation that it was to be given to the Christian Scientist Church of Manhattan upon Lillians death. Lillian died in 1955 and the house was used by the Christian Scientist congregation until their own building was completed in 1956. The house was then purchased by Helen and Alex McManis in Autumn 1956; Helen McManis was listed as the owner when the NRHP request was filed in April 1995.</p><br>
<p>It has been speculated that J. D. Walters, professor of architecture at Kansas State Agricultural College was the architect, but no evidence exists to prove this speculation. His involvement with the construction of the Wharton House is inferred in a 1902 article from The Industrialist (the KSAC student newspaper), wherein he has taken his students in his class to view the "model residence of Mrs. Wharton&#39;s. The students were delighted with the perfect arrangement of modern conveniences of the beautiful home, and voted it the best arranged home they had ever seen."</p><br>

<p>Mary Miller Theater</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The church was founded in 1890. The towns founder, Mary Miller, provided most of the funds to establish the church, arranged for its construction, and paid the ministers salary for several years. It was a community meeting place for the mining community. The church served as a medical shelter building during the 1918 influenza plague. In 1923, a small library was established in the building. The church was sold to the Christian Science Society in 1928.</p><br>
<p>The Stewart Free Library is a historic municipal building at the junction of Nokomis and St. Albans Roads in Corinna, Maine. Built in 1895-98, it is an imposing Victorian brick building of unusual sophistication for a small rural community. It presently houses the town&#39;s library and municipal offices. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Stewart Free Library is set on the west side of Corinna&#39;s town center, on the west side of a small green formed by the junction of Nokomis Road and St. Albans Road (Maine State Route 43). It is an imposing 2-1/2 story structure of brick with granite trim, with a four-story tower rising from the center of the front (east-facing) facade. The building is symmetrically arranged, three bays wide, with gabled dormer-like projections flanking the tower on the hip roof, and a pair of tall chimneys rising at the rear of the building. The main entrance is located at the base of the tower in a round-arch opening, with a pair of narrow sash windows at the second level. The flanking bays have groups of three sash windows, those on the first floor topped by a rounded granite lintel, those on the second by a rectangular lintel.</p><br>
<p>The building was a gift to the community by native son Levi M. Stewart, who had amassed a fortune in business in Minnesota. Stewart retained Minneapolis architect William Harrison Grimshaw to design the building, which was built by a Bangor, Maine contractor between 1895 and 1898. At its completion it was considered to be one of the finest public buildings in the state. Stewart also donated 3,000 volumes to start the library collection, and then bequeathed his personal legal and literary collection to the library, as well as a trust fund for its maintenance. The building memorializes Stewart&#39;s parents.</p><br>

<p>Also known as Ward Community Church, it was listed in 1989 as part of the "Metal Mining and Tourist Era Resources of Boulder County" multiple property submission. In its nomination it was asserted to be architecturally significant "because of its intact design, materials and workmanship which are typical of the</p><br>
<p>building traditions of the period and make it an excellent example of the style of construction used for community buildings during this time in Boulder County."</p><br>
<p>The John H. Clark House is a historic residence in the village of Mechanicsburg, Ohio, United States. Built during Mechanicsburg&#39;s most prosperous period, it was the home of a prominent local doctor, and it has been named a historic site because of its historic architecture.</p><br>
<h2>Clark biography</h2><br>
<p>John H. Clark was born in 1829 in Union Township, the scion of one of Champaign Countys oldest families, and after studying at the Starling Medical College, he began practicing in the nearby village of Mutual in 1853. Although he moved to Decatur, Illinois in 1859, he returned to Champaign County two years later, and from then until his 1901 death was a prominent Mechanicsburg resident, except for his membership on the United States Sanitary Commission during part of the American Civil War and his superintendency over Ohios insane asylum at Dayton from 1874 to 1876. While resident in Mechanicsburg, he was a member of the Champaign County and Ohio State Medical Societies, as well as the American Medical Association, and published multiple articles in medical journals. In 1852, he married the former Elenor Williams, who bore him one son; their marriage lasted until Johns death in 1901. He was affiliated with the Democratic Party, Mechanicsburgs Episcopal church, and the village&#39;s Masonic lodge.</p><br>
<p>Professionally, Clark was active primarily as a physician and as a financier. In 1887, he entered into partnership with a neighbor, Dr. Oram Nincehelser, but they parted ways in 1893. For much of his career, he maintained his office in the historic Lawler&#39;s Tavern. He was also a president of the Farmers Bank of Mechanicsburg.</p><br>
<h2>House</h2><br>
<p>Clark had his house built in 1875; the names of the builder and designer have not been preserved. Constructed in the Italianate style, it was built during the village&#39;s postwar boom; the population nearly doubled between the 1870 and 1890 censuses. It is a well-preserved example of the high style of the day, due to common architectural elements such as a cornice with pairs of brackets, arched windows with hood molds, and an ornamental frieze. Its floor plan takes the shape of the letter "L", although it has been modified by the addition of a side porch with miniature Ionic columns. A small wooden garage is located on the rear of the property.</p><br>
<p>The Clark House sits on the southeastern edge of the Main Street residential neighborhood; other upscale residences, such as the Demand-Gest, Jeff Kimball, and Oram Nincehelser Houses occupy nearby lots to the northwest, while immediately to the southeast can be found commercial buildings such as Lawler&#39;s Tavern and the Village Hobby Shop.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>The Clark House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. It was part of a multiple property submission of approximately twenty buildings, scattered throughout the village in such a low concentration that a historic district designation was not practical. Many of the other buildings were houses, including several other prominent residences on North Main, although the submission also included nearby commercial buildings such as Lawlers Tavern and religious structures such as the United Methodist Church on Main at Race Street. The Clark House qualified both because of its historically significant architecture and the place that it had played in Ohios history.</p><br>
<p>The Old Stone Congregational Church, also known as the First Congregational Church of Lyons, is a historic church in Lyons, Colorado, built in 1894-5 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>The First Congregational Church was organized under the sponsorship of the First Congregational Church of Longmont in 1889, less than a decade after E. S. Lyon arrived in the area from Connecticut and bought 160 acre of land that include the original townsite of Lyons. Construction of the church building, on the northwest corner of 4th and High Streets, began in 1894 and was completed on September 23, 1895. The minister and members of the congregation contributed much of the necessary labor, in addition to money and materials. The principal building material was sandstone that was locally quarried, cut by hand and laid in horizontal courses of irregularly sized blocks. The National Register nomination notes that much of the work on the building was done by master stonecutters with the result that the "cutting and fitting is exceptionally well executed."</p><br>
<p>The facade is asymmetrical with the church&#39;s principal door leading into the base of a single tower. The door has a semicircular arch of radiating stone voussoirs. Central to the facade are a pair of windows topped by horizontal stone lintels. A decorative feature of the facade is the large arch of voussoirs which rises above the windows. In the gable is an ocular ventilation opening framed by voussoirs and set with louvres. The tower rises to a stone course at the height of the gable, above which is a louvred chamber with a "candle-snuffer" roof.</p><br>
<p>For more than ten years after the completion of the building (until a Methodist church was built in town), this was the only church in Lyons. At the time of its National Register listing, the congregation was affiliated with the United Church of Christ, but it no longer identifies itself with that denomination.</p><br>
<p>The Lowry House is a historic home in Huntsville, Alabama. It was built circa 1850 by John Tate Lowry, a merchant with the firm of Lowry, Hamilton and Company. Elements of an earlier Lowry family log house, built circa 1809, that stood on the site were incorporated into the new construction.</p><br>
<p>Restoration of the Lowry House began in 1998 with assistance from Harvie P. Jones, a preservation architect. It took a total of four years. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places by the National Park Service on October 29, 2001. It was subsequently listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage on November 26, 2012.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>When the house was built circa 1850, John Tate Lowry was a slave owner. In the 1860s, during the American Civil War, Lowry became an abolitionist and the house became a stop on the Underground Railroad. Lowry had a secret room built upstairs, off of his bedroom, for escaped slaves to stay in. Lowry also had the staircase built so that the stairs would not creak when walked on, so that the slaves could sneak up to the secret room, even if Lowry had guests.</p><br>
<h2>Supporting education</h2><br>
<p>Today, the Historic Lowry House is open and available to the public and can be rented for private functions. The manicured grounds have been awarded the citys Beautification Award for five consecutive years. This historic home is filled with artifacts and information related to Huntsvilles history.</p><br>
<p>The house hosts field trips for grade school students in the surrounding communities. Field trips are offered through Earthscope, a local organization that provides hands-on, experimental, and activity-based educational experiences for elementary school children. These lessons teach students about the influence of "King Cotton" from planting to how the crop is used in everyday life.</p><br>
