<p>The Zalud House is a historic house located at 393 N. Hockett St. in Porterville, California.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built by John Zalud, a Porterville businessman, in 1891. Architects Hugh and John Templeton designed the building in the Second Empire style; the house is the only Second Empire home in Porterville. The design includes a mansard roof with decorated dormer windows, a front porch with wooden ornamentation, and tall double-hung sash windows on the front and sides. While the house was built in brick, a departure from the standard wood construction of Second Empire buildings, it uses wood extensively in its detailing.</p><br>
<p>In 1977, the city of Porterville converted the house to a museum. The Zalud House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 31, 1987.</p><br>
<h2>On television</h2><br>
<p>On December 10, 2016, the Zalud House was the featured as a lockdown location on a season 13 episode of Ghost Adventures, where a cursed chair in an upstairs bedroom caused visitors to have chest pains. In 1917, orange grower William Brookes (John Zalud&#39;s son-in-law) was murdered in this chair while sitting in the lobby of the former Pioneer Hotel. He was shot four times and killed by a married woman named Julia Howe, who objected to what he was saying about her after bragging he had an affair with her.</p><br>
<p>The Tinkling Spring Presbyterian Church is a Presbyterian church founded in 1740, and is the oldest Presbyterian congregation in the Valley of Virginia . Its historic building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places .</p><br>
<p>The church&#39;s first building was a log structure built during 1742–1748. Much of the cost of the original meeting house was underwritten by Colonel James Patton. It took nearly three years to finish, with some controversy between Patton and his uncle John Lewis over where it was to be located. The first service was held there on 14 April 1745, when the Reverend John Craig wrote: "This being the first day we meet at the contentious meeting-house, about half-built." The log structure was replaced by a stone building in 1790. Its 1850 Greek Revival building is its third building, and is significant architecturally for being designed by Robert Lewis Dabney who served as pastor there from 1852–1857. This Greek Revival building, along with two other churches designed by Dabney, is credited with influencing ecclesiastical architecture in Virginia. Dabney designed at least two other NRHP-listed churches, Briery Church, in Briery, Virginia, and New Providence Presbyterian Church, near Brownsburg, Virginia.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<p>The Elko Main Post Office, located at 275 Third in Elko, Nevada, was built in 1933. Its Mediterranean Revival design is credited to the Office of the Supervising Architect under James A. Wetmore. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places .</p><br>
<p>It is a combination post office and federal office building. It is a two-story tall building, with a brick exterior and quoins at the corners, upon a raised basement. Molded terra cotta is used for details in the quoins, cornice, brackets and other elements. Its NRHP nomination argues that the buildings design achieves an "imposing and stately" status, and that it is the citys "first and only federal building and represents the efforts of local lobbying efforts to gain federal recognition for the city."</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register in 1990 as USA Post Office-Elko Main.</p><br>
<p>The Hyer—Knowles Planing Mill Chimney in Pensacola, Florida is all that remains of an 1854 steam-powered sawmill. When the Confederacy abandoned the city in 1862, all the mills were destroyed so they could not be used by the Union. The only part of the building that survived was the chimney. It is now part of Chimney Park, a wayside park along US 90. The chimney was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 24, 2012.</p><br>
<p>Holly Cottage is an historic building near Green Cove Springs, Florida. It was constructed in the late 19th century. The cottage is the only surviving building of the Hibernia Winter Resort, a winter retreat that operated from the 1850s through 1940. The resort helped in reviving tourism to Florida after the Civil War. The cottage was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 8, 2010.</p><br>
<p>The Osceola Park Historic Residential District is in Vero Beach, Florida. It contains the homes of several former city officials from as far back as the 1920s. On January 13, 2013, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Osceola Park neighborhood was first developed in 1915 and 1917, with the proposal by the Indian Farms Company for the Little Acre Farms and Osceola Park Homesites subdivisions.</p><br>
<p>Little Acre Farms featured one-acre lots suitable for a home and a small truck farm. Osceola Park Homesites were 15,000 square foot lots, with some commercial lots along Osceola Boulevard. Later subdivisions included Jacobys Addition (1923), McCurdys (1925), and the Little Farms Addition (1954.)</p><br>
<p>The USA Post Office, located at 65 W. Mill Ave., is the main post office in Porterville, California. Built from 1933 to 1937, the post office was designed by H. Rafael Lake in the Art Deco style. The design features decorative terra cotta plaques over the windows and cast aluminum plaques below the front windows, decorative features used in no other building in Porterville. A terra cotta frieze atop the front entry features eagle and acanthus motifs borrowed from Roman designs and a sunrise pattern typical of Art Deco decorations. The building is topped with a green tile roof, an unusual element in Art Deco buildings which is consistent with the vernacular Mission Revival style common in Porterville architecture. The post office is one of three Art Deco post offices remaining in California.</p><br>
<p>The post office was added to the National Register of Historic Places as US Post Office&ndash;Porterville Main on January 11, 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Pogue Hotel, located at 32792 Sierra Dr. , in Lemon Cove, California, is a historic building that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. It has also been known as The Cottonwoods, as Montgomery House, and as the Lemon Cove Woman&#39;s Clubhouse.</p><br>
<p>It is historically significant as the home of James William Center Pogue (1839-1907), pioneer settler who built the hotel and lived there during 1880-98 and 1904–07. Pogue developed the lemon industry in Tulare County, and founded Lemon Cove, and served as a county supervisor.</p><br>
<p>The building served as a hotel for most of the period from 1879 to 1903. In 1904, Pogues daughter Nora Alice Pogue acquired the hotel and converted it to a private residence. In 1936, the building became the clubhouse for the Lemon Cove Womens Club.</p><br>
<p>The Hyde House is a historic house located at 500 S. Court St. in Visalia, California. E. O. Miller, an investor and politician, built the house in 1886; it was purchased by investor Richard E. Hyde and his family soon afterwards. The house was mainly designed in the Queen Anne style. Its design features a half-timbered front gable end, scaled and irregular shingles, and a porch with a Chinese Chippendale railing.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 26, 1979.</p><br>
<p>The China Ditch in Douglas County, in the USA state of Oregon, was a 30 mi canal built in part by Chinese laborers to supply water for the hydraulic mining of gold. The Myrtle Creek Consolidated Hydraulic Gold Mining and Manufacturing Company began purchasing land for the ditch in 1890 and was bankrupt by 1894. Portions of the ditch, which carried water from Little River to North Myrtle Creek, remain visible, and an 11 mi section is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Bureau of Land Management maintains a driving loop and hiking trail for touring the ditch and its works.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Many of the homesteaders in the area had been drawn west in the California gold rush and later moved north to begin farming. When gold was discovered in Douglas County, Oregon, in the 1860s, a number of residents returned to mining. In 1889, miners in the area began planning for 2,000 acre of new placers around North Myrtle Creek and became convinced that the surrounding hillsides also held significant deposits.</p><br>
<h2>Survey and construction</h2><br>
<p>To expand the machines usefulness, the Myrtle Creek Consolidated Hydraulic Gold Mining and Manufacturing Company proposed digging a ditch&mdash;5 ft deep, and 3 ft wide at the bottom, and five feet wide at the top&mdash;to carry water 33 mi from the Little River to North Myrtle Creek. After surveyors employed by the company determined that the project was feasible, 80 men began construction, and by early winter they had completed 7 mi of the ditch. The companys president, L. W. Brown, a Eugene physician, said the ditch would eventually provide irrigation water to prune orchards in the region and would transport timber to a sawmill in Myrtle Creek, in addition to supplying water for mining.</p><br>
<p>In June 1891, the company hired 100 Chinese laborers to extend the ditch and tap four additional creeks, giving the construction its name. As part of this work, a 400 ft tunnel was constructed through the mountain to connect the new supplies to the existing ditch. This additional construction allowed three giants to operate around the clock by the end of that year.</p><br>
<p>By the time of late spring of 1892, there were still 3 mi of the ditch to construct. To aid in the process, timber was produced temporarily and water was directed around the rocky hillsides. A fourth giant later made its appearance in April 1893.</p><br>
<h2>Debts and dissolution</h2><br>
<p>On June 1, 1893, the glory days of the company began to come to an end when the county Circuit Court issued a writ of attachment against it. In the following days, other parties were granted writs totaling $4,420 in unpaid wages and $6,000 in other debts. An injunction was issued against the sale of the property or company stock by the ownership, and the county sheriff was ordered to guard the property until the cases could be resolved.</p><br>
<p>Sheriff Dillard decided that it was better to clean out the gravel in the sluices rather than guard the property around the clock. He found just over 9 oz of gold, instead of the 75 oz expected, based on the number of days that the giants had been operating. The company was accused of salting the placers and of hiring more men than necessary for appearances. On July 4, 1893, the court ruled for the miners, causing the company to shut down. On October 19, 1894, the company&#39;s property, mining claims, and the ditch were sold for $7,691.</p><br>
<p>The China Ditch was officially entered into the National Register of Historic Places on May 22, 1991.</p><br>
<p>The Smith Hotel-Cornelius Hotel, located at 100 Spring St. in Caliente, Nevada, and also once known as Scott Hotel, is a historic 3-story hotel that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<p>Caliente became economically important in 1907 with railroad connection and mining and agriculture. The hotel was built probably in 1918 or 1919, by Dr. and Mrs. J. Wesley Smith who ran the hotel until 1921. It was called the Scott Hotel from 1969 until 1978 when the business closed. Although the style of the building is simple, its architecture "reflect the design tastes of the period and region", and the building was held to be significant for its architecture in its NRHP listing. It is also important as one of the oldest surviving buildings in the area.</p><br>
<p>The C. A. Elster Building is a historic commercial building located at the corner of California State Route 190 and Tule River Dr. in Springville, California.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The brick building was built in 1912 by Charles Alonzo Elster, a significant businessman in the area. When it opened, the building contained several of Springvilles main businesses, including its post office, a bank, a drugstore, the Odd Fellows hall, and the towns first telephone. The second floor of the building was used for residences, and the basement contained Springville&#39;s first ice plant.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 25, 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Forty Acres, located in Delano, California, was the first headquarters of the United Farm Workers labor union. The union acquired the site of the compound in 1966, and the buildings were built in the ensuing years. The first building constructed on the property was a service station built in 1967, and several smaller service buildings were built soon afterward. The main building on the property, the Mission Revival styled Reuther Hall, was built from 1968 to 1969; the hall was named for United Auto Workers organizer Roy Reuther. A health care clinic and a retirement village were added to the property in the early 1970s.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>The Forty Acres is best known as the workplace of labor activist Cesar Chavez during the Delano grape strike of the 1960s. Chavez first drew national attention to the complex in 1968, when he conducted a public fast at the site. In 1970, union leaders and grape growers signed labor contracts ending the grape strike at Reuther Hall; the contracts unionized over 70,000 farmworkers working in the grape industry. After the strike, Chavez moved the union headquarters to a new complex; The Forty Acres continued to function as a service center for farmworkers and a local office for the union.</p><br>
<p>The Forty Acres was designated a National Historic Landmark on October 6, 2008. Other sites for the proposed new park&mdash;which requires Congressional approval&mdash;include the Filipino Community Hall in Delano, California (headquarters of the Delano grape strike), Nuestra Senora Reina de la Paz (in Keene, Kern County, California), McDonnell Hall in San Jose, and the Santa Rita Center in Phoenix, Arizona.</p><br>
<p>The Hubele Mounds and Village Site are an archaeological site in the southeastern part of the USA state of Illinois. Located near the community of Maunie in White County, the site has received recognition from the federal government because of its archaeological value. Due to the lack of recent excavations, the sites dates of habitation are debated, ranging from 400 BC in some estimates to AD 1000 in others, but all agree on the sites significance to understanding the prehistory of the region.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Hubele lies approximately 400 m west of the Wabash River, 17 mi above its confluence with the Ohio River, on land only minimally higher than the riverbank; the site may once have been a riverside sandbar. The site forms part of massive farm fields along the river; a levee on the eastern edge protects the site from flooding, and a line of trees marks the site&#39;s northern edge. Besides the levee, which may sit atop part of the site, historical disturbances to the site have included the construction of a road on the southern edge and the placement of a drainage ditch; however, all of these influences have disturbed less than one-sixth of the site.</p><br>
<h2>Features</h2><br>
<p>Originally, the site was distinguished by a group of seven earthworks, small mounds placed in a north-south line. None of the mounds have survived intact to the present; two were excavated by archaeologists from the Illinois State Museum, and the other five have been worn down by repeated plowing, leaving even the highest less than 4 ft tall. Located east of the mounds, the village site has yielded evidence of numerous features, including postholes, trash pits, and fire pits; many of these have been uncovered by routine plowing.</p><br>
<h2>Excavation</h2><br>
<p>The Illinois State Museum sponsored a two-part excavation project at Hubele in 1950; archaeologists dug a pair of test trenches (each measuring 10 x) in the village area and removed two of the mounds, which were found to have been previously disturbed.</p><br>
<h2>Cultural affiliation</h2><br>
<p>Disputes have arisen over the proper interpretation of pottery from Hubele. The original State Museum researchers identified the villagers as Hopewellian peoples from the Middle Woodland period, Yet later studies suggested a connection with other late Hopewellian complexes, such as the Havana Hopewell and the people of the Mann site in far southwestern Indiana. Consequently, solid identification of the site as Duffy-related would raise the site&#39;s importance even higher by demonstrating its occupation over many centuries, as well as making it just the fourth site so to be identified, after the type site, the Duffy site in Gallatin County, and the Pepper and Little Chain sites in White County. Even if further research disproves the concept of a Duffy connection, Hubele will remain significant; its connection to the nearby Hopewellian Wilson Mounds at Rising Sun is undisputed, so it appears to be one of the most important villages associated with the mound group.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>In August 1978, the Hubele site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of its archaeological significance. The landmark&#39;s boundaries encompassed six contributing properties (the five mounds and the site as a whole) over 60 acre of land. It is one of eleven National Register-listed locations in White County, along with the Wilson and Bieker-Wilson archaeological sites.</p><br>
<p>Granite Pass on the California Trail, located in what is now Cassia County, Idaho less than half a mile north of Utah, has historic significance dating to 1842 when it was found by Joseph B. Chiles to serve as an adequate emigrant trail route to come west toward California from the Oregon Trail route that went through Fort Hall. Chiles was then returning east to Fort Hall in a small group that dropped out of the Bartleson–Bidwell Party, the first group attempting to emigrate with wagons from Missouri to California. The Granite Pass can be seen from far away, coming from that direction. When Chiles brought a west-bound wagon group through the pass in 1843 it became established. The California Trail eventually evolved and went through this pass; Chiles led seven different groups through the pass. When first used for emigrants as a wagon trail, it was part of Mexico.</p><br>
<p>A 160 acre area at the pass was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>

<p>The East Windsor Academy, now known as the Scantic Academy-East Windsor Historical Society Museum, is a historic school building at 115 Scantic Road in East Windsor, Connecticut. Built in 1817 as a private academy, it has seen use as a parish hall, apartments, and a public school before its conversion to a museum. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The East Windsor Academy building is located in East Windsor&#39;s Scantic village, on the east side of Scantic Road (Connecticut Route 191). It is a two-story brick building with a gable roof and a brownstone foundation. Its front facade is six bays wide, with entrances in the outer bays, and sash windows elsewhere. The side elevations feature fully pedimented gables with fanlights at the center. Windows are set in rectangular openings, with brownstone sills and splayed soldier brick headers.</p><br>
<p>The school was built in 1817 as a private academy, a role it served until 1871, when the building was sold to the First Congregational Church for use as a parish hall. The prominent educator Ezra Stiles taught here for a time, and one of its better known pupils was Junius Morgan, father to financier J. P. Morgan. In 1896 the building again became a school, which eventually became a public school. This period of use closed in 1938, and it was later converted to apartments before being given to the local historical society. The property now also includes other buildings used as exhibit spaces by the society.</p><br>
<p>The Erwin Home, originally the Erwin Home for Worthy and Indigent Women, is a charitable organization providing housing for women of limited means in New Britain, Connecticut. Managed by the South Church of New Britain, it operates a number of apartment houses between Bassett Street and Cornelius Way. It was founded in 1885 with a bequest from local businessman and philanthropist Cornelius Erwin. Its original main building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its distinctive Queen Anne architecture.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Erwin Home is located south of downtown New Britain, on an entire city block bounded by Edson, Bassett, and Ellis Streets, and Cornelius Way. The complex includes the original main building, which has been repeatedly enlarged and now houses 66 units for single women, and a series of additional buildings which are designed for single women with children.</p><br>
<p>The organization&#39;s articles of incorporation are dated July 6, 1893. It was funded by a bequest from Cornelius Erwin, who died in 1885, which provided for the establishment of homes for "worthy women of limited means". Erwin was a prominent local businessman and a member of the South Church, to whose administration he left the bequest. The first portion of the main building, with its distinctive Gothic Queen Anne turret, opened its doors in 1892. It underwent enlargements in a stylistically similar manner in 1894 and 1914, and was enlarged to its present U shape by further additions in the 1970s. In the 21st century it acquired further properties for supporting women with children.</p><br>
<p>When the home opened its doors, rents were fixed at $2/month.</p><br>
<p>The West End Library, now the Unionville Museum, is a historic library and museum building at 15 School Street in the Unionville village of Farmington, Connecticut. The Renaissance style building was designed by New York City architect Edward Tilton, and completed in 1917 with funding from Andrew Carnegie. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Farmington&#39;s former West End Library is located in the center of Unionville village, on the south side of School Street west of Connecticut Route 177. It is a single-story building, with load-bearing brick walls finished in stucco, and a red tile roof. Its main facade is seven bays wide, with a projecting gable-roofed entry portico in the center bay. The other bays have tall round-arch windows, with small rectangular transom-like windows set above, just below the roofline, with diamond grillwork.</p><br>
<p>The Unionville Library Association was founded in 1902, with its collection occupying a small room in Farmingtons town hall, then located nearby this buildings site. It grew rapidly in size and usage, and the need for a larger and more permanent home was evident. This building was built in 1917, funded in part by a grant of $8,500 from philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. Designed by Edward Tilton, it is based in simplified and reduced form on the McKim Building of the Boston Public Library.</p><br>
<p>In the 1960s library services moved from the building. It was then used by the town as a senior center for a time, and in 1984 the building opened as a museum.</p><br>
<p>Scandinavian Methodist Church is a historic Methodist church at 203 Fifth Avenue West Kalispell, Montana.</p><br>
<p>It was started in 1896 in a Late Gothic Revival style and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<p>It was described in its NRHP nomination as "a good example of an early church in Kalispell with relatively simple details; almost all of the original wood frame churches have been demolished and replaced." It is a one-story wood building with one-over-one double-hung windows with pointed transoms. It had a steeple at its northwest corner which was removed sometime after 1955. It has clapboard siding and it has diamond and fishscale wood shingles in its gable ends. A rear wing was added sometime between 1903 and 1910; the north end of that rear wing had a wrap-around porch which was enclosed by 1955.</p><br>
<p>The Fulton–Mock–Blackmer House is a historic home built in 1820 in Salisbury, North Carolina, USA, whose most famous resident was the actor Sidney Blackmer. It was severely damaged in a 1984 fire, then left largely neglected for nearly three decades.</p><br>
<p>A full restoration was completed in 2015. It is located in the West Square Historic District, created by the city in 1975, and is a contributing structure to the Salisbury Historic District.</p><br>
<p>John Fulton, for whom Fulton Street was named, built the Federalist style house in Salisbury in 1820. An ad in the January 1, 1821 Western Carolinian said, "The subscriber is now finishing a large and commodious house in this place, on the western side of the town, situated between the Male and Female Academies, which he intends as a boarding-house for young ladies." Fulton died in 1827 and his stepson Maxwell Chambers inherited the property. President Andrew Jackson appointed Fulton&#39;s nephew William S. Fulton governor of Arkansas. Girls who attended Salisbury Academy lived in the house, and later the house became a school. Davidson College owned the house at one time. The A.J. Mock family owned the house and added Italianate brackets above the front windows. They also replaced original Federal style windows, of which one remained.</p><br>
<p>Actor Sidney Blackmer bought the house in 1931 and the family lived there. Blackmer planted cedar trees, a holly tree and a cucumber magnolia. The 5000-square-foot house at Fulton and Innes Streets sat vacant after a December 1, 1984 fire, after which Suzanne Blackmer could not afford a restoration. Four ionic columns added between 1906 and 1908 were stored, though a base of one was left as a guide for a possible restoration. Contractor Al Wilson also fixed the roof and foundation in 1989, actions credited with keeping the house from falling down during years of neglect. In 2008, Jonathan Blackmer, son of Sidney and Suzanne, asked that the house either be torn down or restored for "any public use", such as a museum devoted to his father&#39;s career. In June 2012, Historic Salisbury Foundation, which had done some work on the house over the years, agreed to buy it, paying $109,611 to Jonathan Blackmer.</p><br>
<p>In February 2014, the Dixons bought the house from the Historic Salisbury Foundation for $150,000. Historic preservation tax credits helped the Dixons with the restoration, which was completed in early 2015. The Fulton–Mock–Blackmer House won a 2015 historic preservation award from Historic Salisbury Foundation, in the category Private Preservation & Neighborhood Revitalization. The chimneys were replaced, but their old bricks were used as a facade. Otherwise, the couple planned to keep as much of the house&#39;s history as possible. The restored 20-foot columns were returned July 14 but still needed capitals.</p><br>
<p>Old photos and Jonathan Blackmer&#39;s memories helped determine what needed to be done. As much as possible, each section of the house would look as it had at some point in its history. Interior doors dating to 1820 are still in use.</p><br>
<p>Jefferson Street Cemetery is a historic cemetery located at Ellicottville in Cattaraugus County, New York. The cemetery was established in 1817 and was the first to serve the village. It is a settlement era burial ground consisting of eight to ten rows of burials. There are over 400 burials dating from 1817 to 2003. The markers are of marble, granite, and sandstone.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.</p><br>

<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.</p><br>
<p>Shafter Research Station is an agricultural research station near Shafter, Kern County, California, in the San Joaquin Valley.</p><br>
<p>The station was established in 1922 by the USA Department of Agriculture (USDA) as Shafter Cotton Research Station. It was built to provide California with high-quality cotton. Initial research at the station focused on growing long-staple cotton, Egyptian Pima cotton, which was used to make airplane wings at the time. The Hatch Act of 1887 provided for USA funding of agricultural science.</p><br>
<p>By 1925, the researchers had determined that Acala cotton, named after Acala, Texas, was the highest-quality variety of long-staple cotton; they then developed the "one variety" method of cotton production, in which every California cotton producer would grow Acala cotton. As a result of this research, the state of California enacted the California One Variety Cotton Act, which mandated that California cotton producers could grow only Acala cotton. The law spurred the growth of Californias fledgling cotton industry, which now forms a major part of the states agricultural economy. The success of the "one variety" policy caused the station to earn an international reputation for its research, and procedures developed at the station have been used in the Australian and Israeli cotton industries.</p><br>
<p>The Shafter Cotton Research Station changed from a USDA research station to a private one in June 2012. The San Joaquin Valley Quality Cotton Growers Association now runs the facility. With this change, the former Shafter Cotton Research Station now works other crops, including orchard crops. Today the facility consists of a 20-acre campus, 20 buildings and 60 acres of experimental crops.</p><br>
<p>The Shafter Research Station was made a California Historical Landmark (#1022) on March 3, 1997, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 17, 1997.</p><br>
<p>The California Historical Landmark plaque reads:</p><br>
<p>The Fort is a government building located at the intersection of Ash and Lincoln Sts. in Taft, California. The building is a replica of Sutter&#39;s Fort in Sacramento. The property is surrounded by 14 foot tall adobe walls with large wooden entrance gates; the interior has a main building surrounded by a courtyard and several smaller offices. The Fort was built by the Works Progress Administration from 1938 to 1940 and was one of the largest WPA buildings constructed in the San Joaquin Valley. The buildings at The Fort have been used for government offices at the federal, state, and local levels.</p><br>
<p>The Fort was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 22, 1981.</p><br>
<p>The Omaha Hotel is a former railroad hotel in Neillsville, Wisconsin, United States, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was built in 1893, near a railroad depot to serve middle-income and business travelers. It continued to operate as a hotel until the 1940s, during which time it was renamed the Hotel Paulus and later the Hamilton Hotel.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Entrepreneurs Peter and Ed Weber saw an opportunity to cater to railroad travelers in Neilsville in the late 19th century. The Webers purchased a lot to the immediate south of the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha Railway, less than a block away from the Neilsville depot. The hotel was built by August Schoengarth; construction began with the foundation in November 1892 and finished in 1893. The Webers chose the name Omaha Hotel, which created the perception that it was affiliated with the railroad. The rear of the hotel was visible from the depot platform and used as a billboard to travelers, advertising its rate. The hotel operated on the European Plan, excluding meals from the room price. The hotel was not intended for luxury, instead catering to middle-income and business travelers.</p><br>
<p>In 1908, James Paulus purchased the hotel and renamed it the Hotel Paulus. "Hotel Paulus" was added to the west face of the hotel, the sign remains today. Beginning in the 1920s, the hotel was operated by Clarence Hamilton and known as the Hamilton Hotel. The hotel was vacant by the early 1940s. Furniture dealer and undertaker Herbert Lowe bought the building in July 1945; he converted the second floor into apartments and used the first floor to store furniture.</p><br>
<p>The 2003–2004 Neillsville Architectural Survey identified the hotel as possibly eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places. The building was listed on the Register on March 20, 2013., the Omaha Hotel is one of two historic hotels that survive in Neillsville. The owners of the building intend to rehabilitate the structure and turn it into residential and retail space.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The building is located at the western edge of the town&#39;s commercial district, at the northeast corner of the intersection of 7th Street and Clay Street. It is a two-story, late Victorian rectangular building measuring 45 by with a 10 by one-story wing along the east wall. The exterior consists of red clay bricks manufactured locally and laid in running bond. The foundation is stone with a full basement. The south and west walls face the street and are topped with a bracketed metal cornice. The north and east faces of the building are utilitarian in appearance. The property includes one "non-contributing" garage built circa 1970. A non-original one-story aluminum addition extends from the north wall of the wing flush to the north face of the building.</p><br>
<p>The Santa Fe Passenger and Freight Depot is a former Santa Fe Railroad station located at 150 Central Valley Highway in Shafter, in the southern San Joaquin Valley within Kern County, California.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Railroad was built in the late 1890s and later became the Valley Division of the Santa Fe.</p><br>
<p>The station was built in 1917 to serve Shafter, which was at the time a small farming community.</p><br>
<p>The building&#39;s design followed the "standard combination freight depot" Number 2-A plan developed by Santa Fe Railroad engineers in 1911. The design originally included a porch supported by columns, a ticket office, a waiting room, a freight room, and a baggage room.</p><br>
<p>In 1938, the porch was enclosed and became the new waiting room so the inside of the station could be used for office space, which was needed to handle increased freight service.</p><br>
<p>The Santa Fe Railroad closed the station in 1978.</p><br>
<h2>Museum</h2><br>
<p>The Santa Fe Railroad donated the station to the Shafter Historical Society in 1979 which relocated it in 1980. The station now functions as the historical society&#39;s Shafter Depot Museum.</p><br>
<p>The depot was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 19, 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Baker Street Library, is a library located at 1400 Baker St. in Bakersfield, California. The library was constructed from 1913 to 1915 and replaced Bakersfields original library building. Architect O. L. Clark designed the building in the Classical Revival style; the library is the only surviving building designed by Clark in Bakersfield. The library is designed as a central block with two wings at the east and west ends. The librarys main entrance is located on the east wing; the entrance is a portico supported by columns and topped with a pediment and a frieze reading "PUBLIC LIBRARY".

<p>The library was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 1, 1981.</p><br>
<p>The Errea House, a historic house located at 311 S. Green St. in Tehachapi, California, is the house is the only surviving building from the settlement of Tehichipa, the first town in the Tehachapi area. Tehichipa was founded in 1869, and the house was built sometime between 1870 and 1875. In 1876, the Southern Pacific Railroad bypassed Tehichipa, instead establishing a new townsite at Tehachapi Summit, which later became Tehachapi. The railroads action led to the decline of Tehichipas shipping industry, and the towns residents gradually moved to Tehachapi. The Errea House was moved to Tehachapi as well around 1900. No buildings from the original settlement survive at the site of Tehichipa, and the Errea House is the only building remaining from the town. The Errea House is now located across from the Tehachapi Museum, where it helps illustrate the citys early history.</p><br>
<p>The Errea House was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 29, 1997.</p><br>
<p>The Green Hotel, also known as the Shafter Hotel, is a historic hotel building located at 530 James St. in Shafter, California. The hotel was built in 1913 by the Kern County Land Company as lodging for prospective buyers at the Shafter Townsite. It was both the first building built at the townsite and the first commercial building in Shafter. The wood frame hotels design includes a gable roof with overhanging eaves, a Palladian vent at the front of the attic, and an open front porch. While the hotel was formally known as the Shafter Hotel, its forest green paint led it to be nicknamed the Green Hotel. Herndon and Marion Hitchcock bought the hotel in 1917 and operated it until Herndons death in 1951. In 1938, the Hitchcocks rotated the hotel 90 degrees to face James Street. After Herndon&#39;s death, Marion leased the hotel as a residence until donating it to the city in 1961.</p><br>
<p>The hotel was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 16, 1989. It is currently operated as a museum.</p><br>
<p>The Courtlandt Gross House is a historic house located at 18600 Courtlandt Court in Tehachapi, Kern County, California.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Courtlandt Gross, president and board chairman of the Lockheed Corporation, owned the house. It was completed in the Tehachapi Mountains in 1942.</p><br>
<p>The Courtlandt Gross House was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 22, 1987.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The house was designed by noted Los Angeles architect Donald Parkinson of Parkinson & Parkinson. The house is unusual among the Parkinsons&#39; buildings, as they rarely designed residences, and mainly worked in the Los Angeles area. The Courtlandt Gross House is the only Parkinson-designed home outside of the Los Angeles area.</p><br>
<p>The stone house&#39;s design includes a steep gable roof and a prominent chimney at the end of the house. The design was influenced by the Dutch Colonial Revival and Cape Cod styles. Both styles are unusual in California architecture, and the house resembles 17th- and 18th-century houses in the northeastern United States.</p><br>
<p>While stone construction is typically avoided in California due to the risk of earthquake damage, the house survived the 1952 Tehachapi earthquake with only minor damage.</p><br>
<p>Turner Brothers&#39; Building–American Household Storage Company is a historic manufacturing and warehouse building located at Buffalo in Erie County, New York.

<p>The J. C. Fox Building, located at 115 S. Main St. in Hailey, Idaho, is a historic building built in 1920. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places .</p><br>
<p>The building was heated by water from Hailey Hot Springs piped about two miles. The building held a saloon and the First National Bank of Bailey; later it hosted a 10-room hospital on the second floor, so many Hailey residents were born above a saloon. Dr. J. C. Fox served the community as doctor for 41 years.</p><br>
<p>The building is an example of Early Commercial style architecture. It was listed on the National Register in 1983.</p><br>
<p>The Fox–Worswick House, also known as the E. A. Worswick Home, located at 119 E. Bullion St. in Hailey, Idaho, United States is a historic house whose original structure was a log cabin built in 1881 when Hailey was founded. The property was bought for $25 by Dr. C. B. Fox from John Hailey; it was sold six times before 1919. The log cabin has since been expanded but an interior log wall remains. The house was restored to a turn-of-the-20th-century style by the Wood River Land Trust, owners since 2000.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<p>The John Morgan House  is a historic house in Heflin, Alabama, United States. The house was built circa 1880 by John Francis and Louise Perryman Morgan, on land given to John for his service in the Mexican–American War. After Heflin was incorporated in 1892, Morgan was elected its first mayor.</p><br>
<p>The house originally featured two rooms and a central hall. It was expanded around 1900, adding 13 rooms, a second floor, and a wraparound porch. The upper floor features twin gable-fronted dormers and gives the house its Victorian Cottage appearance. The sides of the porch were removed and a 16th room was added on the second story in 1933.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage in 1991 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<p>The Myron Angel House is a historic house located at 714 Buchon St. in San Luis Obispo, California. Built circa 1880, the house has a vernacular design which does not follow a particular architectural style. The two-story wood-frame house has redwood siding, a shingled gable roof, and some Eastlake details in the window surrounds and gable ends. The house was once the home of Myron Angel, the main figure in the establishment of California Polytechnic State University. Angel, who lived in the house from 1889 to his 1911 death, proposed and lobbied for the creation of a polytechnic school in California; it was mainly due to his campaign that Cal Poly was founded in San Luis Obispo. In addition to his educational activism, Angel was also an influential journalist and historian.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 22, 1982.</p><br>
<p>Pataskala Presbyterian Church is a historic church at Atkinson and Main Streets in Pataskala, Ohio. It was built in 1868 and added to the National Register in 1983. It is the oldest church building in Pataskala that is still used as a church.</p><br>
<p>The church congregation was founded in 1837, meeting first in Harrison Township in the barn of local area resident Joseph Baird and then at a log school house in Lima Township. With no regular meeting place, services were held in a variety of locations, including schoolhouses, the Methodist Church in Etna, at the Conine grist mill, and in barns. Then from 1852 to 1868, it met in a frame structure. When this frame structure became unsafe, a lot was purchased in Pataskala for the current building. The church was constructed at a cost of $5000 in 1868.</p><br>
<p>The church was dedicated later, in 1870, and its bell hung in 1873. The original structure was brick, with the present stone facade added in about 1930. Sunday school rooms and a social hall were added to the basement in 1917. The sanctuary was remodeled in 1922 for the addition of a pipe organ and choir loft. The church&#39;s educational wing and a new social hall were added in 1969.</p><br>
<p>The structure was deemed significant for National Register listing "as an example of the Gothic Revival often used in churches during the mid-nineteenth century....</p><br>
<p>Expanding further, it was deemed "significant as an example of the Gothic Revival style and for its contribution to the religious history of the community. The Presbyterian religion was the earliest to be established in Pataskala and this, the second permanent building, is the largest and most architecturally distinct church with its Gothic Revival style details such as the spiraled corner bell tower, pointed arched windows and buttresses. The Presbyterian Church was organized in 1837 and was the earliest o£ the three major religions to be established in Pataskala, the other two</p><br>
<p>being the United Methodist and the Evangelical United Brethren."</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register as a follow-on to a 1980 study of historic resources in Pataskala.</p><br>
<p>The Presbyterian Parsonage is a historic parsonage in the Central College neighborhood of Westerville, Ohio, United States. Constructed in the 1840s, when Central College was a separate community, it has been named a historic site.</p><br>
<p>The parsonage is an aluminum-sided structure, two stories tall with a multi-level gabled roof. Two chimneys sit near the roofline, while both the front and side are divided into three bays with windows. The main entrance, placed near the center of the facade, is trabeated, and sidelights are placed on both sides of the doorway, along with high-style pilasters, an entablature, and a frieze. These elements combine to make the house an example of the Greek Revival style of architecture. Despite the aluminum siding, the house&#39;s core structure is frame.</p><br>
<p>Timothy Lee platted Central College in 1849, surrounding a Presbyterian college founded seven years earlier, but financial problems saw the college close in 1850; although it was resurrected as a prep school for the College of Wooster, the school again closed and was sold to a group that operated it as a retirement home for the deaf. Lee had owned much land in the vicinity before platting the village; he reduced his holdings in 1841 by donating the land upon which the parsonage sits, across Sunbury Road from the former college building, and one block north of the Central College Presbyterian Church. Although it was used as a parsonage for much of the nineteenth century, it has since been sold to private owners, who in 1927 moved the house 100 ft to the east and turned it to face westward, toward the road.</p><br>
<p>In 1980, the Presbyterian Parsonage was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of its place in local history and because of its historically significant architecture. It was part of a small multiple property submission of Central College buildings, along with the Central College Presbyterian Church, the old college building, and the Ebenezer Washburn House to the north.</p><br>
<p>Salem Presbyterian Church is a Presbyterian church at 147 Washington College Road at the Washington College Academy in Tennessee. It was started in 1894 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Salem Presbyterian Church is a historic church in Washington College, Limestone, Tennessee, affiliated with the Holston Presbytery and Presbyterian Church (USA).</p><br>
<p>The congregation was formed in 1780 under the leadership of Reverend Samuel Doak. It was the first Presbyterian church established in the area that later became the state of Tennessee. The congregation served the adjacent Washington College for many years before becoming a separate congregation.</p><br>
<p>Construction of the church&#39;s current building began in 1894. Its sanctuary has several large stained glass windows. It was designed by architect A. Page Brown.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. It was also included as a contributing property in the Washington College Historic District, which was listed in 2002.</p><br>
<p>Waynesboro Cumberland Presbyterian Church is a historic church of the Cumberland Presbyterian denomination on High Street in Waynesboro, Tennessee.</p><br>
<p>The congregation was organized circa 1846. Its present brick building, which was dedicated in October 1854, is the oldest structure in Wayne County that has remained in continuous use. The church was expanded twice, in 1946 and 1953, both times to add space for Sunday school activities. Until 1977, the church used the first story of the building and the second story was used by Freemasons.</p><br>
<p>The church building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<p>Idlewild Presbyterian Church is a historic church located at 1750 Union Avenue in Midtown Memphis, Tennessee. Idlewild is a part of the Presbyterian Church .</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Founded in 1891, Idlewild grew into a prominent Memphis church over the next several decades, moving into its current building in 1928.</p><br>
<p>During the Civil Rights Movement, Idlewild was one of the few churches in Memphis that held racially integrated worship services. Following the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., Idlewild helped found the Metropolitan Inter-Faith Association (MIFA), a community service organization that serves 50,000 people in West Tennessee annually.</p><br>
<p>Idlewild ordained its first women deacons in 1968, and had a female associate minister as early as 1974. Today, three of the four ministers at Idlewild are women.</p><br>
<p>The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<p>Recently Idlewild has continued its tradition of serving the community through partnerships with local schools and the More Than a Meal project, and through partnerships with local organizations that seek to promote social justice throughout the Memphis community. Idlewild is welcoming and affirming of the LGBT community, and blesses same-sex unions in its sanctuary.</p><br>
<p>Steve Montgomery served as Idlewild&#39;s pastor from 2000 until 2019. After an interim period under the leadership of pastor Anne Apple, Idlewild called David Powers to serve as pastor in late 2020</p><br>
<p>During the COVID-19 pandemic, Idlewild has served as a mobile food bank distribution site for families in need in the Memphis area.</p><br>
<h2>Sanctuary Building</h2><br>
<p>Idlewilds current building was designed by George Awsumb, and it is in the Gothic Revival style. The building is similar to the nearby Rhodes College, a private liberal arts college nominally affiliated with the PC(USA). Idlewilds bell tower was completed in 1999; together the bells weigh nearly 27,000 pounds.</p><br>
<p>Recently, nearby developments have incorporated design features to engage with Idlewild&#39;s architecture as a prominent feature in the neighborhood.</p><br>
<p>First United Methodist Church is a historic Methodist church at 618 Wallace Avenue in Coeur d&#39;Alene, Idaho. It was built in 1906 and was added to the National Register in 1979.</p><br>
<p>The church was designed by Coeur d&#39;Alene architect George Williams, and it was built mostly by volunteer labor. It has stepped gables on its two street-facing facades, which are made of white pressed brick. The building has two towers of different heights.</p><br>
<p>The Sweet Methodist Episcopal Church, also known as Sweet United Methodist Church, is a historic church at 7200 Sweet-Ola Highway near Sweet, Idaho. The Late Gothic Revival style building was started in 1905 and was added to the National Register in 1997.</p><br>
<p>It is located across the road from the former Sweet School, about one half mile south of the Sweet townsite. It is a one-and-a-half-story gable-front building with a square belfry which has a hipped roof steeple. It is about 24x36 ft in plan, with the entryway being about 8x8 ft and the belfry about 6x6 ft.</p><br>
<p>Bald Mountain Hot Springs in Ketchum, Idaho was a historic resort. Located at Main and 1st St. in Ketchum, the complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. In 2003, plans had been approved for a new 80-room hotel complex on the site.</p><br>
<p>The original complex was built as the Bald Mountain Hot Springs Motel in 1929 by Carl E. Brandt, manager of the J.C. Penney store in Hailey, Idaho, who had bought a different, decrepit hot spring resort enterprise northwest of Ketchum in 1827. Rather than fixing that up, he moved the hot water to the new resort location on Main Street in Ketchum.</p><br>
<p>While the original resort was planned to have 30 tourist cabins, the NRHP listing included just five contributing buildings and one contributing structure on 2 acre. In 2003, three of the historic structures had been moved to a hunting club location near Hagerman, Idaho.</p><br>
<p>Mills Mill was a textile mill in Greenville, South Carolina  that in the 21st century was converted into loft-style condominia. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Mills Manufacturing Company was organized during the mid-1890s by entrepreneur Otis Prentiss Mills (1840-1915), a native of Henderson County, North Carolina, and a former Confederate officer. The corporation received its charter and began construction of the brick mill in 1896—just outside city limits to avoid paying city taxes, and near Brushy Creek to have water for steam generation and a holding pond. Mills convinced the Southern Railway to put in a siding, and in 1897, he opened the mill with 5,000 spindles and about two hundred employees, mostly former tenant farmers from the mountains of North and South Carolina. By 1903, there were 120 houses and a thousand residents in the mill village; in 1907 there were 450 employees and 27,000 spindles in a mill that produced cotton bed sheets, twills, and satin. Workers pastured their cows on the flood plain and put outhouses, pig sties, and chicken coops behind their residences. The mill also built a company store, a church used alternately by Baptist and Methodist congregations, and a YMCA that employed two paid social workers.</p><br>
<p>After O.P. Mills died in 1915, he was succeeded by his son-in-law, Walter B. Moore, who had both textile mill experience and a paternalistic style of management typical of the era. Moore hired an English "gardener," a landscape architect, to beautify the grounds and provided running water and a sewer system for all the mill village houses.</p><br>
<p>After Moore&#39;s death in 1918, the mill was sold to Alan Graham, who in 1920 sold it to the Reeves Brothers Company of Spartanburg. In the 1920s the mill built more houses in the village and sponsored the Mills Mill Millers textile league baseball team. In the late 1930s the village had about 1,200 residents.</p><br>
<p>The Great Depression came early to the textile industry, and management instituted what employees called the "stretch-out," an attempt to increase productivity from the mill hands. In May 1929 five hundred workers walked out, demanding an end to the stretch-out, a 20% raise, and no discrimination against union members. Mill president Arthur Ligon pleaded with workers to return to their jobs, but they refused until July, after the local manufacturers&#39; association pledged to eliminate night work for women and minors under eighteen. Otherwise, the workers gained nothing. Mills Mill employees did not participate in the national textile workers strike of 1934.</p><br>
<p>During World War II the mill operated on three shifts, seven days a week to produce herringbone fabric for Marine uniforms. Mills Mill continued to prosper in the immediate postwar era, though Reeves Brothers sold the village houses and discontinued support for the sports teams and for community maintenance and security. During the 1970s, domestic textile production came under increased foreign competition. In 1977, Reeves Brothers dismissed two hundred workers, and the following year, the plant was closed.</p><br>
<h2>Post-closure</h2><br>
<p>Like many textile mills built at the turn of the 20th century in the Piedmont, Mills Mill was not easily modernized for textile production, but the building had a "singularly elegant design" and was located near I-185 and the expanding campus of the Greenville Hospital System. In 1982, the mill was listed on the National Register. In 1985 the Greenville County Redevelopment Authority made extensive changes to the village&#39;s water supply and drainage system and provided financing to renovate ninety houses near what had become a major Greenville thoroughfare. The YMCA was converted to apartments, and retail outlets and restaurants operated from the former mill from 1979 to 1996.</p><br>
<p>In 2004, Centennial American Properties converted the mill to condominia that boasted "16-foot ceilings, 9-foot window bands, giant heart of pine beams, and exposed red brick walls." Developers also provided a club room, a gym, a pool, and "professionally landscaped common areas."</p><br>

<p>Photographs of the mill, village, and community can be viewed in the Greenville County Library System digital collections.</p><br>
<p>The Etna Turpentine Camp Archeological Site is an abandoned turpentine camp near Inverness, Florida. Records indicate it was built in the early 1900s. It was discovered by accident when the Florida Gas Transmission Company was exploring a route for a possible pipeline. The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 10, 2009. The site is within territory held by the Citrus Tract of the Withlacoochee State Forest.</p><br>
<p>In mid-2018, construction of an extension of the Suncoast Parkway which was to go through this site was stopped abruptly due to lawsuits filed. The injunction halting construction was lifted less than a month later, allowing construction to proceed.</p><br>
