<p>The Orosi Branch Library, also known as the Orosi/Cutler Branch Library, is a Carnegie library located at 12662 Ave. 416 in Orosi, California. The library was built in 1921 with a $3000 grant from the Carnegie Foundation; while the foundation had issued the grant in 1917, construction was held up for four years by World War I. The wood frame library is a California bungalow, a plain style following James Bertram&#39;s suggestions for Carnegie Library design; it is one of the few wood-frame Carnegie libraries constructed. The library is still in use; it is one of two remaining Carnegie libraries in Tulare County, along with the Exeter Public Library.</p><br>
<p>The Orosi Branch Library was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 25, 1983.</p><br>
<p>The Hamilton Station is a historic post office in Palo Alto, California. Formerly the main office for the city of Palo Alto, the post office was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 5, 1981, as the USA Post Office.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The post office was constructed from 1932 to 1933 and was designed by Palo Alto architect Birge Clark; during the Great Depression, the Post Office department hired local architects to design post offices rather than designing them in Washington. The building was designed in the Mediterranean Revival style and features a tile hip roof in varying shades of red, an open arcade with round arches in the front, and round arched entryways at both ends of the arcade. The entries have bronze frames and decorative bronze transoms; the doors were originally bronze as well but were replaced with lighter metals. While the Mediterranean Revival style was at the time an unusual choice for a post office, it was widely used in Palo Alto and at Stanford University; the post office is one of the few that reflect regional architecture.</p><br>
<p>Turner Cattle Pound is a historic animal pound at the corner of Gen. Turner Hill Road and Kennebec Trail in Turner, Maine. Built in 1816, it is a well-preserved example of a once-common feature of New England&#39;s agricultural communities. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Turner Cattle Pound is located near the geographic center of the rural community of Turner, at the southwest corner of General Turner Hill Road and Kennebec Trail. It is a roughly square stone structure, its sides measuring between 36 ft and 37 ft in length. Its walls are fashioned out of fieldstone, laid dry in irregular courses. Portions of the walls have collapsed over time, but were originally between 4 and in height. The structure&#39;s only entrance is at the center of the east side, formed out of two upright granite posts and a granite lintel about 4 ft long, which is fastened to the posts by metal pins. One of posts retains the metal pintles from which a gate would have been hung, and the other has an eyebolt where the gate would have been latched.</p><br>
<p>The town of Turner was settled in 1772 and incorporated in 1786. Its first poundkeeper was elected two years later, but it is not known where stray animals were confined. The first documentation for a municipally funded pound is dated 1795, when a structure of unknown form was authorized to be built in Turner Center. The present structure was funded by the town in 1816 and built by Moses Merrill on land belonging to Cushing Phillips. The site was chosen for its geographically central location, and because it was at the junction of two roads providing access to much of the community. The town&#39;s last pound keeper was elected in 1918.</p><br>
<p>The Bradford Peck House is a historic house at 506 Main Street in Lewiston, Maine. Built in 1893, it is an unusual example of a rambling and asymmetrical Colonial Revival house. It was designed by local architect George M. Coombs and built for Bradford Peck, owner of Peck&#39;s Department Store, one of the largest such stores in New England. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. It now houses professional offices.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Bradford Peck House stands on the west side of Main Street, roughly 1 mi north of downtown Lewiston, an area that was historically a fashionable residential area. It is a -story clapboarded wood-frame structure, with a hip roof topped by a flat balustraded widow&#39;s walk. Its asymmetrical massing and projecting elements are reminiscent of the Queen Anne style, but the details are essentially Colonial Revival in character. The roof line has a modillioned eave, and the building corners are pilastered. A rounded section projects from the northeast corner, and a porch extends along the south side, supported by fluted Ionic columns.</p><br>
<p>The house was designed by local architect George M. Coombs, and was built in 1893 for Bradford Peck. Peck was a Massachusetts native who moved to Lewiston in 1883, purchased a dry goods business in 1885, and renamed it B. Peck & Co. in 1890. In addition to having Coombs design his house, Peck also commissioned Coombs to design his department store building, a four-story Romanesque building at the corner of Lisbon and Main Streets. Pecks was said to be the largest department store outside Boston, with forty departments displaying all manner of merchandise. Pecks house remained in residential use until 1985, and now houses professional offices.</p><br>
<p>The Big Blue River Bridge is a National Register of Historic Places-listed bridge located in Fillmore County, Nebraska, near the village of Grafton. The bridge is one of two listed on the Register within Fillmore County, the other being the Deering Bridge. The bridge is a single-span, concrete, spandrel arch facility. The site was first designed by state engineers in 1917, and was constructed in 1918. At the time of the construction, the facility&#39;s architectural style was the main bridge design in the state. The bridge still retains all original building materials, and has only undergone slight maintenance since construction. The bridge carries Fillmore County Road 6 over the West Fork of the Big Blue River.</p><br>
<h2>Location and description</h2><br>
<p>The Big Blue River Bridge is located in the Grafton Township, in the northwestern portion of Fillmore County. The bridge is located approximately five miles north and one mile west of the village of Grafton, or approximately 4.75 mi directly northwest of Grafton. The facility is located along Fillmore County Road 6 (CR 6), and is about 0.2 mi from CR 6s northern terminus at County Road 1, and about 29.3 mi north of CR 6s southern terminus at Thayer County Road AA. The site is rectangular shaped, with dimensions of 52 ft by 22 ft, which contains only the bridge.</p><br>
<p>The Big Blue River Bridge carries CR 6 over the West Fork of the Big Blue River. The bridge is located just west of School Creeks confluence with the river. The facility carries the roads single lane. The bridge consists of a single-span, concrete filled spandrel arch, with a substructure consisting of two abutments and several flared wingwalls. The span has a length of 50 ft while the bridge has a total length of 52 ft. The roadway width along the bridge is 20 ft. The facility&#39;s floor is covered with gravel filled with dirt, the same substance as the surface of the road. The bridge structure also contains a solid, concrete, rectangular parapet.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Background</h3><br>
<p>Starting in the early 1900s, Fillmore County began experimenting in designing bridges constructed entirely of concrete. Starting from around 1914, concrete became the exclusive construction material for bridges in the county. The main designs for the concrete bridges were arches and slab spans. This building style remained the main design for the countys bridges until 1920. The style was largely due to the state of Nebraskas reliance on concrete to construct bridges, which was believed to be more durable than steel, which was usually used to construct bridges at the time.</p><br>
<h3>Planning and construction</h3><br>
<p>Fillmore Countys reliance on concrete bridges began to decrease when it hired William A. Biba as its county engineer. Biba began experimenting with different bridge designs, and constructed all of the countys bridges until 1931. However, no documentation exists to show that the bridge was constructed. He constructed the bridge later that year. Aside from minor maintenance repairs, the bridge has remained unaltered since its construction, and continues to carry vehicular traffic. Its condition is considered "good".</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>The Big Blue River Bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on June 29, 1992. The bridge was nominated under national register criteria C, relating to design and construction. The facilitys historic significance is architecture and engineering with an area of significance under engineering. Its historic function is considered to be road-related transportation. The bridges period of significance is 1918, with a significant date of 1918. The facility is considered to be the best example of about 30 concrete bridges constructed by Biba which remain, and is considered technologically significant due to the fact that it "retains a high degree of integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association". It was one of the first designed by Biba.</p><br>
<p>The Calaveras County Courthouse is a historic courthouse built in 1867 in San Andreas, California. The brick courthouse contained the countys courtroom, jail, and sheriffs office; until 1888, executions were also conducted in the building. The buildings jail held outlaw Black Bart, a notorious Northern California highwayman, during his 1883 trial. The countys Hall of Records was built in front of the courthouse in 1893; the two buildings nearly touch and are considered part of the same complex.</p><br>
<p>In 1966, after moving its court operations to a new building, the county turned over the 1867/1893 courthouse complex to the Calaveras County Historical Society, which now operates it as the Calaveras County Museum.</p><br>
<p>The Calaveras County Courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 28, 1972.</p><br>
<p>In 2008, volunteers restored the remains of the first courthouse in Calaveras county -- the Double Springs Courthouse of 1850-1851, which was a China house originally assembled by Chinese carpenters out of Canton-made camphor wood panels that interlocked without the use of nails -- and placed it on display inside the Museum.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The building is a two-story brick structure with dimensions of 46′ 4" by 67 1⁄2′. Both the bricks and the lime used in the mortar were sourced locally. Due to substandard foundations, the building has settled over time, causing cracks in some of the walls. Although some repairs have been made, additional work is required.</p><br>
<p>In keeping with the architectural style of the period and region, the brick building was equipped with iron doors and shutters on all exterior openings, providing protection from fire, vandalism, and burglary. The foundation was constructed from dry fieldstone, with cut granite slabs forming the base upon which the brick walls rest. The settling of the stone foundation has led to cracks in the brick walls, and further repairs are planned. The roof, currently covered with asphalt shingles, was likely originally protected by sheet metal, a material commonly used during that time.</p><br>
<p>Initially, the building was heated with wood stoves until around 1950, when liquid petroleum gas was introduced. Lighting was provided by oil lamps until the arrival of electric power in 1900.</p><br>
<p>The pine flooring was eventually covered with linoleum. The window frames, made of sugar pine, feature tall, narrow openings and are fitted with small-paned double-hung sashes. The interior staircases are circular and steep. Sanitary facilities were not added until the Hall of Records was constructed in 1893. The rear section of the first floor housed a jail, which featured a common area, a kitchen, and six cells equipped with double-deck iron bunks. An unusual aspect of the construction is the use of 2x8 pine planking for the cells. In 1900, the original solid plank cell doors were replaced with iron grills, and electric lighting was introduced to the jail. In 1958, automatic fire protection was installed in the wooden cells.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>The historic courthouse, built in 1867, remained in operation until 1966, when a new Government Center was constructed on the towns eastern edge. The original building housed the jail, courtroom, and sheriffs office. The jail yard was the site of executions, with the last one occurring on August 31, 1888. The notorious stagecoach robber, Charles Bolton, better known as "Black Bart," was detained here during his trial. He was convicted and sentenced to six years at San Quentin, of which he served four years and two months before being paroled.</p><br>
<p>Initially, the courthouse accommodated all the county offices, including the clerk, sheriff, assessor, treasurer, recorder, superintendent of schools, judges, district attorney, and the courtroom. The county jail was located on the first floor at the rear of the building, with a jail yard enclosed by a 12-foot-high, 18-inch-thick wall made of fieldstone rubble.</p><br>
<p>In 1893, a second brick building was constructed at the front of the lot, close to the courthouse&#39;s front wall. This new structure became the Hall of Records, and some county offices relocated there. For a century, from 1867 to 1966, the Calaveras County Courthouse served as the hub of political and administrative activity for the county and its residents.</p><br>
<p>De Vries Palisade, also known as DeVries Palisade of 1631, is an archaeological site located at Lewes, Sussex County, Delaware. It is the site of the Zwaanendael Colony, the first permanent European presence on the Delaware Bay in 1631, settled by a group of settlers under David Pietersz. de Vries. The settlers landed near this spot to form a whale hunting station and agricultural settlement. A monument was erected on the site; it was dedicated on September 22, 1909.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<p>Poplar Thicket, also known as Marian R. Okie Memorial Wildlife Preserve at Poplar Thicket, is an archaeological site located in Long Neck, Delaware. Poplar Thicket is the name of a farm purchased by L.P. Faucett in 1918. It consists of forest, marshes, and wetlands spread across a quarter-mile of undisturbed Indian River Bayshore. Austin Okie, a grandson of Faucett, donated the property to The Nature Conservancy in October 2007, to serve as a bird refuge. The property was subsequently transferred to the state of Delaware, establishing it as the Marian R. Okie Memorial Wildlife Preserve at Poplar Thicket. The property is administered by the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control and serves as a bird sanctuary, used for conservation education and environmentally-sensitive activities such as bird-watching and walking.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>The Burton Commercial Historic District is located in Burton, Texas.</p><br>
<p>The district encompasses all or parts of seven city blocks. It contains 47 buildings, 28 of them classified as contributing.

<p>Burton Auto Company-one-story building constructed in 1916 as the City Garage.</p><br>
<p>The John C. Sharp House, located off Utah 36 in Vernon, Utah, is an Italianate house that was built in 1888.</p><br>
<p>It is significant for association with John C. Sharp, bishop of the Vernon Ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), and also for being the only surviving house "which represents the financial success of many of the early</p><br>
<p>ranchers and farmers, most of whom left the area as soon as they could afford to." Further it is one of relatively few surviving houses of a certain type: Italianate box with a side passage plan; it is one of just 11 known in the state, nine being in Salt Lake City.</p><br>
<p>Others that are NRHP-listed include the Charles R. Savage House in Salt Lake City, the Howe C. Wallace House (a contributing property in the Avenues Historic District) in Salt Lake City; the Lewis S. Hills House in Salt Lake City, and the David McDonald House in Salt Lake City.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>The Copperopolis Armory is a Civil War armory located at 695 Main St. in Copperopolis, California. The brick Greek Revival building was constructed in 1864 to house the Union Guard of Copperopolis, the towns regiment of the Union Army. Copperopolis largely owed its existence to the war; the town grew due to a boom in local copper mining in 1860, which stemmed from the Union Armys need for copper ammunition. The armory served a variety of purposes for the Union Guard; at the building, new soldiers were enlisted, training was conducted, and arms and supplies were stored. Military balls, victory celebrations, and the local funeral ceremonies for Abraham Lincoln also took place in the armory. The armory also held an 1837 bronze cannon, which was used for ceremonial purposes and arms training; the cannon remains in the building and is one of the few American bronze cannons from the era in California. After the war, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows bought the building, which they converted to a social hall. In 1940, the armory became a community center.</p><br>
<p>The armory was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 30, 1997.</p><br>
<p>The David E. Davis House, located at 400 E. UT 199 in Rush Valley, Utah, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<p>The house was built between 1883 and 1885 for David E. Davis. The brick house was one of the earliest of its kind in the Rush Valley area. Davis, a polygamist, built the house for his three wives and their families.</p><br>
<p>In the updated documentation for the NRHP listing, it was noted that a new owner discovered what was probably a "polygamy pit": a hidden room where polygamist David E. Davis might have hidden from USA marshals seeking his arrest. The room, which could also have been a root cellar, is the size of a small bedroom and is hidden below the rear room of the house, with access by a ladder. Since the apparent finishing of the room was more refined than needed for a root cellar, it is believed this was meant for, and may well have been used as, a hiding place.</p><br>
<p>The Calaveras County Bank is a historic bank building located at 1239 Main St. in Angels Camp, California. The two-story Classical Revival building was built in 1900 and designed by architects E. Depierre and Perseo Righetti of San Francisco. The bank&#39;s design features an iron boxed cornice with brackets on each end and stone pilasters on both sides. The second floor has three double-hung sash windows, while the first floor has a picture window flanked by two entrances; all three first floor openings are topped with rounded arches. The interior trim of the bank used a variety of different woods, a rarity in contemporary buildings in the area. The bank was the first to be incorporated in Calaveras County, and the building was the first in the county designed specifically to house a bank; until the 1920s, it was also the only bank operating in the county. In 1930, the Calaveras County Bank merged with the Bank of Italy and moved to a new building. The old bank building housed a meat market from 1937 to 1980 and later held a branch of the Central Sierra Bank.</p><br>
<p>The Calaveras County Bank was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 1, 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Honigsberger Store is a historic building located at 665 Main St. in Copperopolis, California. Businessman L. Honigsberger built the store in 1865, replacing the original store he built in 1861. The brick building was designed in the Neoclassical style. The store served Copperopolis during its first copper boom in the 1860s; however, an 1867 fire and declining copper production caused Copperopolis to lose most of its population and severely diminished the stores business. In 1905, the Honigsberger family sold the store to the Union Copper Mining Company, which became the Calaveras Copper Mining Company four years later. The company used the store as a warehouse during another copper boom in Copperopolis from 1909 to 1929. The store is one of only four extant buildings from Copperopolis first copper boom in the 1860s.</p><br>
<p>The Honigsberger Store was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 2, 1992.</p><br>
<p>Reeds Store is a historic building located at 679 Main St. in Copperopolis, California. William K. Reed, a miner and one of the first discoverers of copper in Copperopolis, built the store in 1861 to serve the growing mining town. The two-story brick store was designed in the Neoclassical style, a common design for commercial establishments at the time. Reeds Store was the most successful store in Copperopolis until 1867, when a fire and the declining copper industry greatly diminished the towns population. Various lessees rented the store until mine owner Charles Ames bought it in 1890; Ames sold the store to merchant Charles Fontana by 1900. In 1906, the store became the property of the Union Copper Mining Company, which made the building its headquarters. The company, later renamed the Calaveras Copper Mining Company, occupied the building throughout the towns 1909&ndash;1929 copper boom. The store is now one of four buildings remaining from the 1860s in Calaveras; it is adjacent to two others, the Copperopolis Armory and the Honigsberger Store.</p><br>
<p>Reed&#39;s Store was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 2, 1992.</p><br>
<p>The Box Elder County Courthouse is a courthouse at 1 N. Main St. in Brigham City, Utah. It was built in 1857 and expanded greatly in 1910. The 1910 addition includes Classical Revival architecture designed by local architects Andrew Funk and Carson Wells and provides the architecturally significant portion of the building. The building is significant as the only courthouse in the county and for having held all departments of the county government over the years. It is asserted to be the best example of Neo-Classical Revival architecture in the city and in Box Elder County.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>The GAPA Launch Site and Blockhouse near Knolls in Tooele County, Utah dates from 1946. It is a work of the Boeing Airplane Co. Facilities Dept.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. The listing included one contributing structure and one contributing site.</p><br>
<p>It is significant as the first launch site for the Ground-to-Air Pilotless Aircraft (GAPA) program of the USA Air Force, which was a supersonic guided missile system that preceded the Bomarc air defense missile.</p><br>
<p>According to its NRHP nomination, the site was "the birthplace of the United States Air Force supersonic missile flight test program."</p><br>
<p>The Todd House, also known as the Todd-Biscoe House, is a historic house in Plantersville, Dallas County, Alabama. The -story Carpenter Gothic cottage was built from 1867 to 1868 for Dr. Samuel G. Todd, the first dentist in Plantersville. Carpenter Gothic houses are relatively rare in Alabama. Architectural historians consider this example to be a good representation of the house designs advocated by Richard Upjohn and Alexander Jackson Davis.</p><br>
<p>The Todd family sold the property in 1916 to Salliegeo D. Lawrence. Henry E. Biscoe purchased it from the Lawrence family in 1959. It was added to National Register of Historic Places on January 29, 1987, as a part of the Plantersville Multiple Resource Area.</p><br>
<p>The Marcus Meyer Skinner House, also known as the Howorth House, is a historic house in Selma, Alabama. The large two-story Tudor Revival-style house was built in 1928 for Marcus Meyer Skinner, a renowned surgeon and native of nearby Furman. It was designed by one of Alabama&#39;s leading architects of the day, Frank Lockwood.</p><br>
<p>Architectural historians consider the house to be an excellent example of early 20th century</p><br>
<p>domestic Tudor Revival architecture and among the best examples of the style in the Black Belt region of Alabama. It was added to National Register of Historic Places on August 27, 1987.</p><br>
<p>The Grantsville First Ward Meetinghouse, in Grantsville, Utah, United States, is a meeting house of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints  which was built in 1865–1866. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982; the listing did not include a 1952 addition to the building.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The church building is located at 297 Clark Street and was a work of Scottish immigrant Hugh Alexander Ross Gillespie.</p><br>
<p>It is notable as one of few Church meetinghouses built with adobe and having Greek Revival styling that still survive. This one is especially notable for having its vestry attached to the rear rather than to the front of the meetinghouse.</p><br>
<p>The Street Manual Training School was a historic African American school in Richmond, Dallas County, Alabama. The campus comprised over 200 acre, but most of it was sold after the school closed in 1971. The remaining 23.1 acre campus contains seven buildings constructed between 1906 and 1964 as well as a circa 1943 water tower. The school was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 28, 1999.</p><br>
<h2>School</h2><br>
<p>The school was founded in 1904 by Emmanuel M. Brown. Brown, a graduate of Snow Hill Normal and Industrial Institute and Harvard University, was a proponent of the ideas of Booker T. Washington. He was dedicated to improving the quality of life for African Americans in Dallas County during the Jim Crow era of racial segregation. Brown modeled his school on the Tuskegee Institute. He lived onsite from the beginning of the school, serving as the headmaster until his death in 1960.</p><br>
<p>The Grantsville School and Meetinghouse, located at 90 N. Cooley Ln. in Grantsville, Utah, United States, dates from 1861. It has also been known as the Grantsville City Hall and the Old Adobe Schoolhouse, and it is now the Donner-Reed Museum. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>It served as a school for 30 years starting in 1861; it was used as Grantsville&#39;s city hall during 1894–1917. It employed locally made adobe bricks and use of Greek Revival styling.

<p>The La Jolla Womans Club is a womens club in a historic building in La Jolla, a neighborhood of San Diego, California. Designed and built by Irving Gill with assistance from his nephew Louis John Gill in 1914-1915, it is an important example of Gill&#39;s modern architectural style, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The La Jolla Woman&#39;s Club was founded in 1894 as the Current Events Club, taking its present name in 1900. The social club was without a permanent home for the first twenty years of its existence. The cornerstone of the building was laid in December 1913, with the inaugural meeting held in 1914.</p><br>
<p>The site, design, and construction of the clubhouse were all donated to the La Jolla Womans Club by philanthropist and club member Ellen Browning Scripps. The project cost a total of $40,000. The building is a prime example of Irving Gills modern style, exemplified by simple geometrical shapes, and generous use of arches and columns, with a minimum of ornamentation. This style has been described as "shaved Spanish," as it owes much to the colonial Spanish architecture of southern California - and in particular the California missions - with an emphasis on flat rooflines, and lack of frills. The building also was a product of Gills experimentation with the concrete "tilt-wall" construction method, in which concrete slabs were poured in place onto a large table positioned at a fifteen-degree angle. After it was set, the wall was lifted into place, and windows fitted into it. The interior of the building also showcases Gills interest in sanitation: there are no baseboards, mouldings, or other design details, as Gill believed that these features trapped dust and dirt. The La Jolla Womans Club has been called one of Gills most successful works.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, and is one of several notable Gill-designed buildings in La Jolla, along with The Bishop&#39;s School and the La Jolla Recreation Center. The clubhouse is open to visitors on Saturdays from 9:00 am to noon.</p><br>
<p>The Utica Mansion is a historic house located at 1103 Bush St. in Angels Camp, California. Built in 1882, the house was originally a two-story stone building designed in the Federal style. Robert Leeper, then owner of the Utica Mine, built the house next to the Utica Mill. Leeper sold the mine to C. D. Lane in 1884; he sold the house to Lane four years later. Lane and two other investors began to buy up mining claims in Angels Camp, and their enterprise soon became profitable. With his investment earnings, Lane began to expand the Utica Mansion. Lane added a two-story addition to the west and north sides of the house and a veranda on the other two sides. He also improved the interior furnishings by adding new wallpaper and fireplaces with English tiles, repainting the woodwork, adding gold moldings to hanging pictures, and installing Axminster carpets. Lane lived in the house until 1895, when he left to pursue an investment in Alaskan mining.</p><br>
<p>The Utica Mansion was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 31, 1984.</p><br>
