<p>The Pacific Coast Railway Company Grain Warehouse is a warehouse building located at 65 Higuera St. in San Luis Obispo, California. The warehouse is the only surviving building from the Pacific Coast Railways headquarters as well as the only extant grain storage building in San Luis Obispo. The date of the buildings construction is uncertain; city records state that it was built in 1885, but it may have been rebuilt in 1892&ndash;93 after a fire. The wood frame building has corrugated iron paneling on its walls and roof, a typical design for contemporary storage buildings. The Pacific Coast Railway used the warehouse from its construction until the railway folded in 1942; the warehouse held grain grown in the region, which was at the time a major producer of grain and beans.</p><br>
<p>The warehouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 23, 1988.</p><br>
<p>The Hilliard United Methodist Church is a historic Methodist church in central Hilliard, Ohio, United States. The oldest religious structure in the community, it has been named a historic site.</p><br>
<p>Hilliards Methodist Episcopal congregation built the present structure in 1883. At the time, Hilliard was a small village, consisting of just the center of the present community; as the community has grown into a suburb within the Columbus metropolitan area, all other nineteenth-century church buildings have perished, but the Methodist church has endured and become a significant component of residents sense of community identity.</p><br>
<p>Built of brick, the church rests on a foundation of limestone and is covered with an asphalt roof, and some exterior elements are made of wood and sandstone.</p><br>
<p>In 1988, the Hilliard United Methodist Church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of its historically significant architecture, as the original Gothic Revival elements are still present. It remains in use as a house of worship for the congregation that built it.</p><br>
<p>Groveport United Methodist Church is a historic church in the village of Groveport, Ohio, United States. Established in the 1830s, this congregation of the United Methodist Church worships in an early twentieth-century building that has been named a historic site.</p><br>
<p>Hopewell Methodist Episcopal Church was founded in present-day Madison Township, Franklin County in 1805, as perhaps the first church in the township, and Asbury Methodist Episcopal Church was formed in the same township in the following year. Some members of these two congregations living in the vicinity of present-day Groveport founded the Groveport Methodist Church in 1836, and the first church building was completed by the end of the year, using bricks made on site. The name "Groveport" was not yet in existence, it having been picked as a compromise between two competing names in early 1847. In 1839, it became the center of a new circuit, and Methodists became numerous enough in Groveport that their house of worship was incapable of accommodating the worshippers by 1851. As a result, a second church building was constructed; the members subscribed more than $4,200, although some subscribers&#39; failure to pay forced delays in the construction process.</p><br>
<p>The second church building remained the home of the congregation until 1908, in which year the third and present building was completed. Construction was overseen by Charles Rarey, who ultimately resigned his position as a Franklin County court clerk in order to participate full-time in the construction process. The structure cost $25,000 to build, and like its predecessor, its bricks were made within Groveport.</p><br>
<p>Groveport Methodist Church is a brick building with a foundation of limestone, a slate roof, and substantial areas of glass. A tower sits on the corner, topped with a steep peaked roof, while the rooflines of the rest of the building are generally gabled. Rounded-arch windows and doorways are placed in numerous locations on the exterior, including two on separate stories of the tower. These windows, composed of stained glass, are among the building&#39;s most distinctive elements.</p><br>
<p>Groveport remains an active part of the United Methodist Church, within the Olentangy River District of the denomination&#39;s West Ohio Conference. In 1995, the building itself gained recognition as it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places because of its historically significant architecture. It is one of four Groveport locations on the National Register, along with the Groveport Log Houses, the Groveport School, and a cluster of buildings known as the Groveport Town Hall Historic Group.</p><br>
<p>The San Luis Obispo Carnegie Library is a Carnegie library located at 696 Monterey St. in San Luis Obispo, California. The library building was funded by the Carnegie foundation in 1903 and built in 1905; it housed the citys subscription library program, which had operated since 1894. William H. Weeks, who designed 21 Carnegie libraries in California, designed the San Luis Obispo library in the Richardsonian Romanesque style. The librarys design includes a tall hipped roof with two gabled wings, decorations including gargoyles in the gable ends, and an entrance portico with multiple round arches. The building is mainly faced in red brick with yellow sandstone trim, but the basement is faced in dark gray granite.</p><br>
<p>The library operated until 1955 and became a county historical museum the following year.</p><br>
<p>The library building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 30, 1995.</p><br>

<p>The Kirby Jail and Town Hall is a historic building located at 120 E. 4th St. in Kirby, Wyoming. Built in 1915, the building was the first and only town building constructed in Kirby, which incorporated the same year. Pete Enders, who also built the local school, constructed and plastered the building, while I. Hainsworth completed the carpentry work. The small jail was designed similarly to other nearby jails from the same era; its design also resembled other buildings in Kirby, such as its schoolhouse. In addition to serving as a jail and town hall, the building was also Kirby&#39;s polling place. In 1975, Kirby eliminated its town marshal, and the jail was vacated. The town hall moved to the old schoolhouse, and prisoners were sent to nearby Thermopolis.</p><br>
<p>The Kirby Jail and Town Hall was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 6, 2011.</p><br>
<p>The ECR Kooi Bridge is a bridge in Sheridan County, Wyoming, located 2.7 mi west of the community of Monarch. The bridge carries Sheridan County Road CN3-93 across the Tongue River. Contractor Jack Gregg built the bridge in 1913. The single-span pin-connected Pratt pony truss bridge is 81.6 ft long with an 80 ft span; it is the longest bridge of its type still in use in the Wyoming state and county highway system. The bridge&#39;s roadway was constructed with wooden stringers and decking; its guardrails are also wooden. The pin-connected Pratt pony truss was a common type of truss bridge in Wyoming, and the Kooi Bridge was one of the earlier bridges to use the design.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. It was one of 31 Wyoming bridges added for their significance in the history of Wyoming bridge construction.</p><br>

<p>The Castroville Japanese Language School, also known as the Castroville Nihon Gakko, is a historic building located at 11199 Geil St. in Castroville, California that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places .</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>It was built in 1936 and served Japanese-American sharecropping farmer families of the area as a school, as a Buddhist temple, and as a community meeting hall.</p><br>
<p>It was closed just six years later, in 1942, when the Japanese-Americans of the area were interned for the duration of World War II. According to Kunio A. Sumida, who nominated it for NRHP listing, the building "represents and symbolizes the denial of the constitutional rights guaranteed under the United States Constitution."</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The building is extremely simple and unremarkable, except perhaps for its hipped roof that may reflect Japanese temple architecture, so its importance is for its association with the Japanese-American community and what it represents to some. At the time of its NRHP nomination in 1995, it was somewhat weathered, but otherwise unchanged from its state in 1942. In a 2012 photo, it is apparent that the exterior of the building has been restored, and there is an interpretative display in front of the building.</p><br>
<p>The Paso Robles Carnegie Library is a Carnegie library located in Paso Robles City Park in Paso Robles, California. The library was built from 1907 to 1908 through a $10,000 grant from the Carnegie Foundation. Architect William H.

<p>The Taft Building is a historic twelve-story building at 6280 W. Hollywood Blvd. and 1680 North Vine Street, Hollywood and Vine, in Hollywood, California.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Taft Building was built for A.Z. Taft, Jr. (1889&ndash;1941), who purchased the Hollywood Memorial Church for $125,000, tore it down, and commissioned the Taft Building on the property. The architecture firm Walker and Eisen, known for the Fine Arts Building, James Oviatt Building, and Beverly Wilshire Hotel, amongst others, designed the building, which features Classical Revival architecture. The building was constructed in 65 days and opened in 1924, making it the first high-rise office tower in Los Angeles.</p><br>
<p>The buildings primary tenants were dentists (including Clark Gables), doctors, and lawyers, and every Hollywood movie studio had an office in the building, as did Charlie Chaplin, Will Rogers, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and numerous agents, casting companies, and publicists.</p><br>
<p>In 1984, the Hollywood Boulevard Commercial and Entertainment District was added to the National Register of Historic Places, with the Taft Building listed as a contributing property in the district. In 1999, the building was designated Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument #666.</p><br>
<p>In 2011, Langer Meringoff Properties sold the building for $28.5 million to DLJ Real Estate Capital Partners, who then spent an additional $15 million in renovations. The building was later purchased by Ocean West Capital Partners for $70 million, and in March 2023, Elat Properties purchased it for $28 million.</p><br>
<p>The Mary C. W. Black Studio House, located at 556 Abrego St. in Monterey, California, is a historic house and artist&#39;s studio that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was purchased in 1925 by Monterey artist Mary Corning Winslow Black , who completed her redesign of the old adobe in 1930, including the addition of "sumptuous gardens." It is an example of eclectic architecture including Mission/Spanish Revival architecture and its substyle of Monterey architecture.</p><br>
<p>The house is significant as one of surprisingly "few good residential examples of the Monterey substyle of the Spanish Colonial Revival on the Monterey peninsula, where the form was originated", and in particular one of only three examples known in 1993 to have a "full width cantilevered second-story balcony, covered by the principal roof."</p><br>
<p>According to its NRHP nomination, "Mrs. Blacks old-new studio house was praised in the September 27, 1930 Monterey Peninsula Herald for its impression of permanancy... and appearance of age. The article noted that the modern structures with the appearance of antiquity blend with the ancient adobe (Casa Abrego) that retains still its original charm... and that the work had resulted in one of the peninsulas outstanding beauty spots." And that the house had been very well preserved since then.</p><br>
<p>The property was listed on the National Register in 1994. The listing included two contributing buildings and two contributing objects, plus a non-contributing building (a gardener&#39;s shed used as an office that had lost its historic integrity).</p><br>

<p>In 2007, it was identified as one of the four highest-hazard dams in Idaho, having significant threat to human lives if it were to fail.</p><br>
<p>The Homer Pound House, at 314 2nd Ave., S., in Hailey, Idaho, is a historic house that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is significant as the birthplace of the poet Ezra Pound , who was born there on October 30, 1885, when Hailey was part of the Idaho Territory. Ezra was the only child of Homer Loomis Pound  and Isabel Weston . Homer&#39;s father was Thaddeus Coleman Pound , who was a Republican congressman for northwest Wisconsin and who had made and lost a fortune in the lumber business. Homer worked for Thaddeus until Thaddeus secured him an appointment as registrar of the government land office in Hailey, a post in which he served from 1883 to 1887.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1883</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register in 1978.</p><br>
<p>The Powerhouse is a historic building located on the California Polytechnic State University campus in San Luis Obispo, California. Built from 1909 to 1910, it is the oldest building still standing at Cal Poly.</p><br>
<p>The design of the building was long mis-attributed to William H. Weeks, who had designed the original Cal Poly power house at the northern end of campus. However, the architectural plans for the 1909 building were created by the State of California Department of Engineering, under State Engineer Nat Ellery.</p><br>
<p>The building is designed in the Mission Revival style. The building originally served as a power plant run by students and two full-time supervisors, and held Mechanics and Electrical Engineering classes. The Powerhouse stopped generating power in the 1940s and was replaced and abandoned in 1955. In 1967, the building found a new use when the schools College of Architecture and Environmental Design decided to hold classes there. The college continued to hold classes in the building even after the construction of a new architecture building, and only stopped in 1990 when the schools administration ordered the building to be abandoned.</p><br>
<p>The Powerhouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 30, 1993.</p><br>
<p>The Locate Creek Bridge, located on N. Locate Rd. near Miles City, Montana, is a historic bridge that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is significant as the oldest steel stringer bridge in the state of Montana.</p><br>
<p>It was built in 1901 by Custer County. The bridge was part of a Custer County program to build bridges to bring farmers and ranchers into convenient reach of railroads.</p><br>
<p>The significance of the bridge was recognized by local, state, and national officials of historic registers, culminating in it being listed on the National Register on March 26, 2012. It was listed, along with three others on that day, as part of a Multiple Property Submission, Montana&#39;s Steel Stringer and Steel Girder Bridges MPS.</p><br>
<p>From information available, it seems the bridge is located three miles north along N. Locate Road, which seems to be the road also known as Mizpah Road, north from USA 12, east of Miles City.</p><br>
<p>The Henry Miller House near Bellevue, Idaho is a historic house built from silver mining wealth that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Lead and silver mining within quartz deposits in the area was initiated in 1879, and on September 22, 1880, claim was filed for what became the Minnie Moore lead and silver mine near Broadford, to the west of Bellevue. Henry E. Miller purchased half ownership of the Minnie Moore mine for $10,000 in 1881; even without accounting for the proceeds of mining for three years, he did well with the investment as the mine was sold to an English company in 1884 for $450,000.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1914, and is an example of Stick/Eastlake architecture.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register in 1975.</p><br>
<p>The Frank LaVerne Buck House, located at 581 Pine Ave. in Pacific Grove, California, is a historic house that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Also known as the Pacific Grove Inn, it was built in 1904.</p><br>
<p>It was the home of city civic leader Frank LaVerne Buck (1849-1931), a native Midwesterner who was involved in the dairy and egg businesses. The home is historically important as the only known surviving example of the work of local architect Robert C. Gass, and is one of only a few well-preserved Victorian houses in Pacific Grove. The front staircase and other woodwork in the house was completed by carpenter C.E. Hovey, who is known for craftsmanship in the area. Among its prominent exterior components is the fenestration, which features leaded glass and Palladian windows.</p><br>
<p>Built at the junction of Pine and Forest avenues, the house is a prominent component of its neighborhood&#39;s built environment. As a large building constructed in a combination of the Colonial Revival and the late Queen Anne styles, it dominates both cross streets.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. In 2020, the building was a bed and breakfast with 16 rooms.</p><br>

<p>The Rittenhouse Elementary School, now the San Tan Historical Society Museum, is a well-preserved historic school located at 20425 South Ellsworth Road at the intersection with East Queen Creek Road in Queen Creek, Arizona. It was built from 1924 to 1925 in the Spanish Colonial Revival style, opened for classes in 1926, and closed in 1982, after which it was used for storage by the Queen Creek Unified School District.</p><br>
<p>In 1990, the building was placed on the Arizona Register of Historical Places. On June 21, 1994, the historical society signed an agreement with the school district, which allowed them to oversee the building&#39;s restoration and start a historical museum. The society immediately began the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) nomination process for the building, while simultaneously raising funds for its restoration. This application was approved, and the building was listed in 1998.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>From 1920 to 1922, the first classes in the Rittenhouse/Queen Creek area were held in a small board-and-batten building that had previously been used as a cook shack by employees of G. R. "Gid" Duncan. Duncan was a partner of land developer Charles Rittenhouse, after whom the school was named. Duncan allowed the use of the building and land for the school. In early 1923, school officials acquired the use of a wooden church building, constructed circa 1921, which served as the community school until 1925.</p><br>
<p>With increasing development and population growth in the 1920s, area school officials realized that a permanent building was needed. In 1924, construction began on the new structure, a three-room, U-shaped red brick building. Although completed in 1925, the first classes in the new school were not held until 1926.</p><br>
<p>Initially only classes for English-speaking students were held in the new Rittenhouse Elementary School. In the meantime, the wooden church building continued to be used as a school for children of Mexican descent, where they were taught English in preparation for entering the main classes. The Mexican-American childrens school schedule was different than that of the other children, who didnt attend school until after the cotton harvest was complete, usually sometime in February. Sometimes as many as 60 students were taught in a single room.</p><br>
<p>In 1947, the residents changed the name of the community from Rittenhouse to Queen Creek, but the school retained its original name.</p><br>
<p>In 1948, school district officials realized that population growth in the area necessitated an expansion of capacity. In February 1948, officials authorized a bond issue for construction of a new building. Completed in 1952, the new school (name it) operated simultaneously with the older campus until its closure in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Historical significance</h2><br>
<p>The Rittenhouse Elementary School building was nominated to the NRHP under criterion A, for its association "with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of history."</p><br>
<p>More specifically, Rittenhouse is significant as an example of the broad pattern of centralizing rural education in Arizona prior to World War II. The building also retains its integrity of historical setting and appearance, both on the interior and exterior. The Rittenhouse Elementary School is also the only extant historical school building in Queen Creek.</p><br>
<h3>Historical context</h3><br>
<p>In the early twentieth century, increased population, better transportation, concentrated development, and the desire for improved educational facilities contributed to the centralization of rural Arizona schools and the construction of the Rittenhouse Elementary School. Centralization of rural schools was emphasized on a national level through the 1930s, as evidenced by the 1935 report by the USA Commissioner of Education stressing the need to reorganize the school system. To address this need, Rittenhouse officials and the local school district decided that, although other schools existed in nearby communities, it was more efficient and economical to create a new school within the students&#39; community rather than transport them to existing schools in distant communities. This pattern of rural school centralization was carried out throughout Arizona through 1940, and mirrored efforts in other rural communities throughout the United States in the first half of the twentieth century.</p><br>
<h3>Structural context</h3><br>
<p>The interior of the building maintains a high degree of integrity with most of the original fabric intact. Most interior modifications have been cosmetic rather than affecting the physical structure. Apart from reconstructing the stage, no major repair or restoration has been necessary.</p><br>
<p>Several well-preserved interior structural elements contribute to the unique and historical character of the building. The original wood-trimmed alcoves — present in all four classrooms — contain coat hooks, cubby holes, and a storage closets. The original slate blackboards are intact, and text from the last day of classes in 1982 has been preserved. The floors in the original portion of the building are stained maple tongue-and-groove, and the floors in the 1930s-era classrooms are colored concrete. All of the original doors are intact, but much of the historic door furniture was replaced over the years. The plumbing fixtures within the boys restroom may be original, while the fixtures within the girls restroom are not.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Notable features of the building include transom windows and tongue-and-groove maple floors. The interior includes recessed roll-down doors that can be retracted or engaged to change the room configuration, a small wooden stage, and slate chalkboards in the classrooms. Until completion of indoor restrooms in 1937, pupils and school staff used an outhouse located behind the school.</p><br>
<p>The single-story Rittenhouse Elementary School was built in the Spanish Colonial Revival style. The building was built on a concrete foundation with a crawl space beneath the building; the brick walls rest directly on the wooden floor. Because the floor is raised, three sets of original concrete steps (with three steps each) provide access to the building at the main and two side entryways. Sometime after 2000, wheelchair ramps were added to both side entrances.</p><br>
<p>The large windows in the classrooms are in the "six-over-six" style, with operable transoms above. The wooden front entry doors are original, and also surmounted by a semi-circular transom window (UK=fanlight). Brick pilasters are located at the corners of the building, and serve to accentuate the eave returns above. The building contains several brick chimneys with corbelling at the top. Character-defining elements include a wood-trimmed alcove containing coat hooks, cubby holes, and a storage closet. The well-preserved original slate chalkboards are still intact.</p><br>
<p>A unique feature within the auditorium space is the two overhead roll-up doors, which remain intact. These doors allow the central auditorium space to triple in size by connecting to the adjacent classrooms. The stage was accessed from the classroom hallway by a narrow door, approximately 16 × in size and elevated 24 in off of the floor. While the original stage door exists, the stage in the museum today is a reconstruction, the original having been removed years ago to allow home economics classes. The tile work in both restrooms is original, as are the boys&#39; lockers.</p><br>
<p>The floors in the original portion of the building are stained maple tongue and groove, while the floors in the later classroom additions are colored concrete with a 2 x square score pattern. Aside from the two side entrances, all the original doors are intact, but much of the historic door furniture has been replaced over the years. The interior walls are plastered and painted, and painted wood trim is present throughout the building.</p><br>
<h3>Historical modifications</h3><br>
<p>In 1936–1937, the school district took advantage of federal Public Works Administration funds to add two classrooms, hallways, and restrooms. Heat for the rooms was provided by a boiler system, which replaced the wood-burning stoves used in the original classrooms. The intact boiler room is located in a small subfloor area underneath the boys&#39; restroom. The rooms were eventually equipped with oil heaters, and eventually gas heaters hung from the ceilings.</p><br>
<p>The 1936-1937 classroom additions match the original building both in style and materials, and do not detract from the historical integrity of the building. During the modern era (post-1946), the open space between the classroom wings was filled in to create shower rooms, which were accessed through the existing restrooms as well as from the building&#39;s exterior. This infill is not visible from the street view of the building, and does not detract from the overall historical feeling and appearance of the building. The stage was dismantled sometime during the modern period (post-1946) to allow for more classroom space.</p><br>
<p>Additional changes occurred to the building in the mid-1950s, when a combination shower and locker room was added to the rear, or east side, of the building. By 1955, the Rittenhouse Elementary School, which was now called "Old Main," was the centerpiece of the community of Queen Creek. Flooding in 1966 damaged the wooden floor; the flooring near the main entry is still warped as a result.</p><br>
<h3>Restoration</h3><br>
<p>In 2002, the San Tan Historical Society took over the Rittenhouse Elementary School, and began the long process of restoring the building. Although structurally sound, more than 70 years of cosmetic alterations had to be undone in order to restore the building to its original appearance. Numerous layers of paint were removed to expose the original red brick exterior. The paint removal revealed hundreds of graffiti etched into the bricks by former students; this graffiti provides an invaluable historical record of the school.</p><br>
<p>Modern acoustic tile was removed from the interior ceiling to reveal the original plastered ceiling, which was restored and painted to match the original interior colors. The stage was reconstructed in the early 2000s. The wooden floor is undergoing research and analysis for restoration by a local historical architectural firm. Repointing of the nearly 90-year-old brick mortar is being conducted by a local historical preservation expert.</p><br>
<h2>San Tan Historical Museum</h2><br>
<p>The Rittenhouse Elementary School/San Tan Historical Society Museum continues to serve as an important focal point for the community of Queen Creek. The history of the school and the community are the focus of the museum. The school grounds display some of the original playground equipment. Antique farm equipment, which pays homage to the agricultural history of Queen Creek, is also displayed around the building&#39;s exterior. Inside the museum are permanent and changing exhibits reflecting the history of the school and the community, a small lending library focusing on the history of Queen Creek and the surrounding area, and numerous historical photographs of the school and its students.</p><br>
<p>The Whalers Cabin near Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, is a historic building that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is located in what is now Point Lobos State Natural Reserve, four miles south of Carmel.</p><br>
<p>The cabin was built in the 1850s to house Japanese and Chinese fishermen. Shore whaling was conducted here by the Carmel Whaling Company from 1862 to 1884 and by the Japanese Whaling Company from 1898 to 1900. The building now houses a museum dedicated to cultural history of the area. The museum also highlights the history of Point Lobos, including its cinematic appearances and plans at the turn of the 20th century to develop the area for densely packed suburban housing.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register in 2007; the listing included one contributing building and one contributing site.</p><br>
<p>St. Charles Borromeo Church is a Catholic parish church in Hailey, Idaho, in the Diocese of Boise. Its historic parish church and rectory complex, located at Pine and S. 1st Streets, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Fr. E.M. Nattini began ministering in the Wood River Valley in the 1880s. The population was growing rapidly, and he was soon able to raise funds for the construction of the first church of St. Charles, which began June 17, 1883. It was the first Catholic church east of Boise, and may be considered the mother church of southeastern Idaho.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The current church was designed by architects Tourtellotte & Hummel in the Gothic Revival style, and built by Nicholas F. Wirtzberger in 1913 at cost of $7,200. Among its distinctive elements is a stamped-metal belfry constructed in an ornate symmetrical plan. The complex also includes what has been known as Father Keys House.</p><br>
<p>A surviving window from the first church building can be viewed at the Reinheimer Barn on Highway 75 south of Ketchum. The complex was listed on the National Register in 1982. The listing included two contributing buildings.</p><br>
<p>The Centrella Inn, at 612 Central Ave. and other addresses in Pacific Grove, California, United States, is a complex of four historic buildings that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The first two buildings of the complex were built during 1888–89. It served the Methodist Chautauqua and other trade that grew rapidly in Pacific Grove following the Southern Pacific Railroad connection to the city, and following the 1887 fire at the historic Del Monte Hotel.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register in 1982; the listing included four contributing buildings, three being one-story and one being two and a half stories.</p><br>
<p>The Samuel M. Black House, located at 418 Pajaro St. in Salinas, California, is a historic Queen Anne style house that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>It was designed by architect William Henry Weeks and was built in 1900. The house is significant for its association with Samuel M. Black, a civic leader in the development of Monterey County, and architecturally for its serving as an early prototype of the "Modified Colonial" architecture style in development by Weeks. At the time of its NRHP nomination, the house was unique in being intact architecturally plus having the only known set of architect Weeks plans and elevations for a house of this period; it was expected to yield further architectural history development. The house is termed a conservative one of Weeks residential designs.</p><br>
<p>The property includes an eight-bedroom, one-story farmworkers quarters that was designed and built by a local contractor in 1936 for $6,000.</p><br>
<p>The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. The listing included two contributing buildings.</p><br>
<p>The Adamson Bridge near Valentine in Cherry County, Nebraska, is or was a historic bridge. It was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places in 1992, and was delisted in 2019.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was built in 1916 by the Canton Bridge Co. It was a timber stringer trestle bridge. It has also been known as the Niobrara River Bridge and has been denoted as NEHBS No. CE00-227.</p><br>
<p>When it was listed on the National Register, the bridge was notable as one of few surviving examples in Nebraska of early timber bridge designs. The Adamson Bridge appeared to have survived with few alterations due to relatively light traffic at its location.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The river crossing was apparently replaced by a concrete beam bridge crossing, at a different crossing point, ca. 1994. Aerial photo view of the coordinates given in the NRHP nomination suggest the highway alignment has changed, showing roads leading to a former crossing point but with no bridge remaining.</p><br>
<p>The James W. Finch House, known also as the Finch-Fleischer House, is a historic house in Monterey, California that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places .</p><br>
<p>Located at 410 Monroe Street in Monterey, it was built in 1870. The house is significant as one of few surviving examples of early American architecture in Monterey, as opposed to the Spanish/Mexican adobe style of other Monterey buildings of the same era. The house includes Classical Revival stylings with other, eclectic stylistic features.</p><br>
<p>The house was built by rancher and stovemaker James William Finch and by Charles Finch for their mother, who lived in the house until 1881, after which James and his wife lived there and extended the house. James&#39; daughter Alma and her husband Charles Fleischer lived there later. A notable later renter was artist Charles Rollo Peters.</p><br>
<p>The house was documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey in 1964. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>G.T. Marsh and Sons, also known as Marsh&#39;s Oriental Art Store, is a historic building in Monterey, California that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was listed on the National Register in 2007; the listing included one contributing building and one other contributing structure.</p><br>
<p>It was built in 1928 by Japanese craftsmen and includes Sichuan Chinese architecture. According to its NRHP nomination, it is a "large, mysterious, architecturally outstanding, building" that is significant for representing "a highly artistic and specialized style that is unique to Monterey and possibly to the nation, and has become one of the symbols of the City&#39;s important and colorful past."</p><br>
<p>Crosby and Hill Building is a historic commercial building located at Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware. It was built about 1859, with the present facade added in 1920.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building has housed a number of businesses including a pharmacy, the Household of Faith Church, the Crosby and Hill dry goods wholesaler and retailer, the Diamond Silk Shirt and Waist Company, the Wilmington Board of Trade Builders Exchange, and John&#39;s Bargain Basement Department Store Company.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>It is a four-story, three-bay rectangular plan building of bearing wall brick construction. It has a flat roof with parapet wall. The building is an example of a late-19th century commercial building that was "modernized" in the first quarter of the 20th century.</p><br>
<p>Govatos&#39;/McVey Building is a historic commercial building located at Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware. It was built in 1895, and is a three-story, rectangular plan building of bearing wall brick construction. During the first half of the 20th century, it was converted into a restaurant, candy factory/shop by removing original storefronts</p><br>
<p>along East Eighth Street. The building features large half-hexagonal pedimented copper bays on the second and third stories in the Queen Anne style. The building has housed Govatos Chocolates since 1910–1918. Govatos is the last candy making firm in Wilmington and still makes hand-dipped candy by the same method as in 1894.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Asa Johnston Farmhouse is a historic farmhouse in Johnstonville, Conecuh County, Alabama.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The farmhouse is one of only a small number of surviving works by Ezra Plumb, a local carpenter, designer, and builder who became one of Conecuh County&#39;s eminent builders prior to the American Civil War. Plumb, born in Connecticut, migrated to the area around 1835. The residence was built for Asa Johnston, born in Bibb County, Georgia, on August 24, 1798. He had arrived in Conecuh by 1818, the year the county was founded, making him one of the original pioneers. He owned forty slaves by 1840. He held 960 acre of land and forty-seven slaves by 1850. His real estate holdings had increased to 3,450 acre, valued at $10,000 by 1860. His personal property was valued at $63,500 during that year. This figure included his farm implements, livestock, and sixty-seven slaves.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The house features wood-frame construction throughout. The front facade is seven bays wide, with a central open breezeway and doors on either side, framed by two windows each. The interior displays simple vernacular Greek Revival details, such as mantles, molded window surrounds, four-panel doors and molded door surrounds. Decorative faux painted finishes are present on trim, wainscoting and doors. The central breezeway features a barrel vaulted ceiling, the only example documented in Alabama. A full-width Carolina porch stretches across the front. A semi-detached dining room, built around the same time as the main house, is connected to the rear of the house by a covered elevated walkway. It is a gable-fronted building, one bay wide with a central entrance doorway and two bays deep.</p><br>
<h2>Historic designations</h2><br>
<p>It was added to the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage on October 4, 1993, and to the National Register of Historic Places on May 21, 2008.</p><br>
<p>The New Evergreen Commercial Historic District is a 12 acre historic district in Evergreen, Conecuh County, Alabama. It is bounded by Mill, Cooper, Rural, Court, Liberty, East Front, Cary and Despious streets. The district is primarily commercial, with examples of the Art Deco, neoclassical, Victorian, Romanesque Revival, and Colonial Revival styles. Some are plain brick commercial structures with no distinct style. The district contains 39 properties, with 30 contributing and 9 noncontributing to the district. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 21, 1994.</p><br>
<p>The Brewton Historic Commercial District is a 13 acre historic district in Brewton, Escambia County, Alabama. It is centered on USA Route 31. During its heyday it was the largest commercial center on the railroad between Montgomery and the Gulf Coast ports of Pensacola and Mobile. The district was the early commercial area of the town, with the majority of the structures dating to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It contained 47 properties. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 15, 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Commercial Hotel, later known as the Hart Hotel and Flomaton Hotel, was a historic hotel building in Flomaton, Escambia County, Alabama. The two-story wood-frame structure was built from 1904 to 1905 in the Queen Anne style. It had a brick pier foundation. Fish scale shingle patterns decorated the front of each gable end. The front facade featured a full-width porch with neoclassical columns. The hotel contained 18 guest rooms, all with a fireplace. The interior retained its original woodwork throughout. The Flomaton Hotel was significant for its associations with the early growth and development of Flomaton, Alabama. Initially a railroad junction</p><br>
<p>(Pensacola Junction) serving as the intersection of two major lines, Flomaton, AL was one of several small towns that sprang up along the L & N Railroad lines during its rapid expansion beginning in 1879. The Flomaton Hotel was one of five hotels that pre-dated the 1908 incorporation of the town, and survives as the only hotel building of that era in the county.</p><br>
<p>The Flomaton Hotel was also significant for its associations with commercial growth and development in Flomaton, Alabama. The 1904-05 construction of the hotel</p><br>
<p>(then known as The Commercial Hotel) was a venture to relocate business near the depot in hope of directly tapping the railway passenger traffic and crews. One of the first and most successful hotels in the town, the Flomaton Hotel depended on the railway passenger traffic until the 1930s. In the early and mid-teens the hotel was noted as a favorite hideaway for honeymooners and quiet family vacations. In the 1920s under new management and a new name (The Hart Hotel), the hotel gained a good reputation for its fine "tablespreads," attracting the Pensacola affluent to Flomaton for Sunday dinner and a fifty-mile train outing. The 1930s depression and the advent of the automobile retarded the passenger train patronage, as well as the business of the hotel; however, during WII, the hotel was greatly patronized by servicemen awaiting train connections to overseas ports. Once again under new management, and gaining yet another name (The Flomaton Hotel), the hotel&#39;s character and patronage changed to that typical of "residential hotels," accommodating primarily the employees of the local oil companies. The owner planned to restore the hotel as a Guest House, targeting the patronage of antique buffs attracted to the local auctions.</p><br>
<p>The hotel was destroyed by fire in late 1986. It has been replaced by a local church.</p><br>
<p>The Bell Bridge, crossing the Niobrara River near Valentine, Nebraska, is a historic bridge that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>It is a Pratt through truss bridge that was designed by the Canton Bridge Co. of Canton, Ohio, fabricated by the Cambria Steel Co. of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, and built by the Canton Bridge Co. It was built in 1903 and brings a Cherry County road across the Niobrara, 11.9 miles northeast of Valentine. It has also been known as the Allen Bridge and the Niobrara River Bridge and is registered as NEHBS No. CE00-22.</p><br>
<p>It is one of just four bridges in Cherry County that survived a flood in February, 1916. According to its NRHP nomination it is notable as "one of the oldest, longest and best-preserved of Cherry County&#39;s remarkable group of through trusses" and is "distinguished as one of the handful of pre-1916 trusses remaining" in the county and in the state.</p><br>
<p>National Register designation was given in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The Cockayne Farm Preservation Project is an undertaking by the Glen Dale, West Virginia city government and the Marshall County Historical Society. The centerpiece of the project, The Bennett Cockayne House, a property on the National Register of Historic Places, was given to the city in the will of Samuel Cockayne in 2001. A committee was formed by the city for preservation of the property, which led to the property being listed on the National Register and in finalizing a lease agreement with the Marshall County Historical Society.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1798, Samuel Cockayne came from the Annapolis, Maryland area and became one of the first European settlers in the Glen Dale area. At the time of his death in 1854, Samuel had acquired over 500 acres, which he split between his sons Bennett and Vincent. Bennett had acquired land north of his fathers property previous to Samuels death and built the current farmhouse around 1850, which was named "Glendale Farm" by Bennetts daughter-in-law Sarah. Bennett was the local postmaster for several years and had a school in his house in addition to farming. Vincent received the southern part of the holdings, which included Samuels home, and called his farm "Valley Farm".</p><br>
<p>It would be Bennett&#39;s son, Samuel A.J., who would bring worldwide attention to "Glendale Farm". Samuel A.J. started a Merino sheep flock in the 1860s and began a breeding program to achieve the finest quality wool. His efforts paid off in 1876 when he won a medal and certificate "for fine Merino ram wool" at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia and in 1878 when he won recognition for his wool at the Exposition Universelle in Paris.</p><br>
<p>Samuel A. Cockayne "Zan" inherited the farm next. Samuel A. also supplemented his income as the postmaster of Glen Dale and as a member of the Washington district school board. Upon his death in 1953, the farm passed to Samuel A.J. Cockayne. Samuel A.J. served in the Pacific Theater in World War II. Upon his return, he devoted his life to the farm. After selling most of the farm land to the school district for a new high school in 1967, Samuel A.J. lived a reclusive lifestyle until his death in 2001.</p><br>
<h2>Restoration</h2><br>
<h3>Exterior</h3><br>
<p>Upon taking possession of the house in early 2002, it became evident to city and county leaders that the Cockayne House could become a unique historical resource in the area. Samuel A.J. had lived in only the back two rooms of the house and Sam had only added very rudimentary electric and running water. Heating in the house remained the wood-burning stove. With the house essentially being a time capsule, city and county leaders decided to lease the house to the Marshall County Historical Society, with that organization creating the Cockayne Farm Preservation Project. This project would restore not only the exterior and structure of the house, but would preserve the interior and the material culture found within. While a restoration analysis was being completed, an archaeological survey was undertaken and all of the objects in the house were reviewed by a curator and cataloged.</p><br>
<p>In order to adequately preserve and restore the house, the exterior was determined to be the first priority. Through grants, contributions, and volunteer hours, money and support for the project grew. Fortunately, upon completion of a study on the needs of the house, the structural integrity of the house was considered to be good. However, major projects would need to be undertaken to return the house to its appearance in the later 1800s/early 1900s as well as to keep the house in good shape for the future. A new slate roof was determined to be the most pressing need, with this being completed in 2004. During the work on the roof, the slate was shown to be so deteriorated that it crumbled and turned to dust under the workers feet. Once the roof was replaced, the front porch was restored and rebuilt. By 2009 enough funding had been secured to allow for the restoration and painting of the exterior. In 2010, the contributing outbuilding behind the farmhouse was restored.</p><br>
<h3>Interior</h3><br>
<p>Finding a large number of objects and material culture items, the first priority for preservation work inside the house was weatherproofing the house through the renovation process. As this work progressed, items were found that proved to be important for the story of the Cockaynes and for Marshall County history. One such find was a school roster and other papers that showed that the farmhouse was the site of the first schoolhouse in Glen Dale. Wallpaper throughout the house, while deteriorated, yielded a vast amount of information about how each of the rooms looked in the late 1800s/early 1900s. Part of this information was finding the different layers of wallpaper and trying to establish when redecorating took place. In keeping with the Projects goals, the wallpapers will be professionally cleaned and stabilized in order for visitors to get the sense of what the actual papers looked like. While this process is in the early phases, the scope can be seen by looking at not only the layers of dust, but the accumulation of coal and wood smoke residue built up through the daily usage of the house. While not accumulated upon each other like the wallpaper, the carpeting yielded not only evidence as to a rooms look but also yielded several paper records, pictures, newspapers that were kept underneath. If not touched by water damage, these artifacts were in good condition since they were stored flat and were not in direct sunlight or airflow. All of the objects, including the carpeting were needed to be removed in 2012 as a geothermal climate control system will be installed in 2013. The system will be hidden from the visitors experience and will be as minimally invasive as possible, using the chimneys as well as the attic and cellar to house critical units.</p><br>
<h3>Mound</h3><br>
<p>Behind and to the west of the farmhouse is an Indian Burial Mound. It appears that the Cockayne family protected the mound over the years; however at some point the land it occupies was sold. In 2005 the mound was acquired by the Cockayne Farm Preservation Project to preserve this Native American mound for future educational programs. Archaeological studies have shown that the mound is similar to other mounds in the area. There are no plans to perform any archeological work that would disturb any objects that are buried within.</p><br>
<h2>Education</h2><br>
<p>Since the start of the Cockayne Farm Preservation Project, education has been vitally important. The leadership of the preservation project has been able to form strategic alliances with West Virginia University, Wheeling Jesuit University, Belmont Technical College, and John Marshall High School. These partnerships have allowed the Project to gain materials and expertise at little cost while providing students with hands-on experience. John Marshall High School, which is situated across from the farmstead, has had multiple projects that has furthered the mission of the Preservation Project. Initially the advanced art class donated art work to be sold to benefit the Cockayne Farm Project while an AP English class project designed a brochure. For the past few years the FFA club has designed, planted, and maintained a series of raised beds on the farm. Produce grown on site is then used at the high school. Long term plans for the Cockayne Farm Preservation Project include a large educational component that will foster learning projects between schools and the farm as well as educational opportunities for people of all ages.</p><br>
<p>West Virginia University has had several interns assist with material culture projects in the Public History/Cultural Resource Management programs. The farm has also been a site used by the Interior Design department, as they were able to scan and create 3D models of the interior and objects for future study. Technology was also the focus for the Landscape Architecture Department when a 3D computerized model was created for a future landscape plan. (See external link below to view 3D LiDAR animation of the site) A curriculum and instructional design class from Wheeling Jesuit University used the farmstead as a basis to construct a series of four lessons that could be used with different age groups and meet the WV Department of Education standards. Lastly, a class from the Building Preservation and Restoration Program at Belmont Technical College were able to have a hands-on learning experience through the restoration of the outbuilding behind the house. The experience allowed students to practice what they have learned in real conditions. Among these real conditions was the reality that some of the structure was significantly more damaged that first thought.</p><br>
<p>Cotton Belt Railroad Industrial Historic District is located in the eastern part of Grapevine, Texas.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register on September 4, 1997.</p><br>
<h2>B & D Mills</h2><br>
<p>The B & D Mills was a Mill constructed in 1902 Grapevine, Texas and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places under the Cotton Belt Rail Road Historic District. Kirby Buckner and W. D. Deacon bought the mill in 1933 and changed it into a feed manufacturing complex.</p><br>
<p>In 1939 an east warehouse was constructed and a concrete grain elevator was completed in 1950. The tower was completed in 1956 which made the facility the first electronic feed manufacturing plant in Texas and also the first business to deliver bulk feed. The mill closed down in 1979. In 1995 a fire damaged many parts of the building and also damaged parts of the tower&#39;s panels.</p><br>

<p>The Reamer Barn is a historic barn near the village of Oberlin in the northeastern part of the USA state of Ohio. Constructed at the end of the nineteenth century, it was built to house a gentleman farmer&#39;s cattle herd, and it has been named a historic site because of its distinctive architecture.</p><br>
<h2>Property history</h2><br>
<p>Born in nineteenth-century Pennsylvania, Daniel P. Reamer moved to northeastern Ohio and established general stores in Oberlin and the nearby village of Wellington. He left the region in 1872 and settled in Leavenworth, Kansas, where he became a successful door-to-door seller of furniture to businesses and government offices, working for the A.H. Andrews Furniture Company. His standing within the company was high enough that he was seemingly able to get his nephew Robert a job with the firm, but within a few years he decided to return to Ohio. He accomplished this goal in the late 1870s, and twenty years after settling back into Oberlin, he chose to purchase a small herd of Jersey cattle and arranged for the construction of a new barn to house them. Rather than building a simple vernacular structure for his cattle, he obtained the services of an architect: his nephew Daniel A. Reamer, who produced a Swiss-influenced Gothic Revival design. Constructed on the foundation of an earlier structure completed in 1837, the new barn served Reamer for three years until his 1900 death. Reamers former neighbors across the road, the Dudley family, purchased his property in 1907, which they proceeded to operate as a dairy farm into the 1950s. Later owners have not continued the barns original use; by the 1970s, it was used only for storage.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>An Art Nouveau structure built with weatherboarded walls, the Reamer Barn is topped with three distinctive ventilators on the gabled roofline. Other significant elements of the design include the rounded panels partway up the sides, and an ornamental bargeboard that extends 3 ft out from the northern end of the building. These elements won the barn attention soon after its construction, both because of their practical benefits and because of their rarity as architectural styling on a farm building.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>Although it had been converted into storage, a historic preservation survey of New Russia Township conducted in the late 20th century deemed the Reamer Barn one of the township&#39;s most significant buildings. As such, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in early 1979 because of its architecture. It is one of twelve National Register-listed locations in and around Oberlin.</p><br>
<p>The Josiah Merritt Adobe, located at 386 Pacific St. in Monterey, California and also known as Merritt House, is a historic house that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>It was built in 1830 and is architecturally significant as perhaps the only example of Greek Revival temple form architecture applied to an adobe building in Mexican California. The Benicia State Capitol Building (California State Landmark #153) included the Greek temple format but is made of stone or masonry. The building was documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey in 1936.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. In 1979 the house was developed into a small hotel.</p><br>
<p>Biddeford Main Street Historic District is an historic district in downtown Biddeford, Maine, USA. It encompasses the heart of the city&#39;s civic and commercial business district, extending along Main and Water Streets between Pike and Elm Streets, extending for short distances along several side streets. It is noted for its collection of late 19th and early 20th century commercial brick and masonry architecture. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The city of Biddeford is located on the south bank of the Saco River on the coast of southern Maine. Its central business district is located inland, opposite that of the city of Saco, which lies to the north. The two cities developed around this area due to its ideal location for textile mills, which, on the Biddeford side, are located just between what is now Main Street and the river. This development began in a significant way in the 1840s, and the Main Street area was developed over the next century, mirroring the rise and fall of the mill industry.</p><br>
<p>Buildings in the district were built to serve the residential and economic needs of the mills and their workers. Early buildings combined these functions, providing living spaces above retail storefronts. The oldest surviving building in the district, the Thatcher Hotel, was built in 1846 as a hotel; it is a three-story Greek Revival brick building. Most of the districts buildings are between two and four floors in height, and are in a diversity of architectural styles. Stylistically notable buildings include the 1924 Egyptian Revival Paquin Building (5 Washington Street) and the 1926 Palace Diner (15 Franklin Street). The districts civic focus is on City Hall, a combination civic and performing arts space housing the City Theater. The building was designed by the Portland architect John Calvin Stevens and completed in 1896. It is individually listed on the National Register, as are the Dudley Block on Water Street and the post office building at 35 Washington.</p><br>
<p>The Alfred Historic District is an historic district encompassing the historic village center of Alfred, Maine. The roughly Y-shaped district radiates from the junction of Oak Street with Kennebunk, Waterboro, and Saco Roads, and is characterized by high-quality 19th-century wood-frame buildings. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Alfred was settled in the 1760s and incorporated in 1794. The oldest surviving buildings in the village date to this time, although most of them have alterations giving them a 19th-century appearance. One example of this is the c. 1770 "Barn Knight&#39;s Barn" house, which dates to this period but has later Italianate styling applied. Alfred was named the county seat of York County in the early 19th century, stimulating a period of growth. The village was where a number of prominent lawyers made their homes, due to its proximity to the county courthouse. The most famous of these was John Holmes, who arrived in 1794 and was influential in the selection of Alfred as the county seat. His house was built in 1802 as a Cape, and raised to a full two stories in 1812; it is known as the "bow and arrow" house for some of its decorative elements, and is separately listed on the National Register for its association with Holmes.</p><br>
<p>Much of the building stock of Alfred Village was built in the early to mid-19th century, and is reflective of the styles popular then. There are a significant number of Federal style houses, although some, like the 1826 Daniel Goodenow House, have later stylistic alterations. The Alfred Parish Church built in 1834, is a fine example of Greek Revival styling. Most of the civic buildings in the district date from the mid-19th century or later, including the Italianate Town Hall (1862), fire station (c. 1911, but Late Victorian in style), and the Old County Jail (1871, designed by Gridley James Fox Bryant). The York County Courthouse has elements dating back to its original construction in 1807, with Italianate wings added in 1856. It was damaged by fire in 1933 and rebuilt, and has a generally Colonial Revival appearance. The village&#39;s most prominent commercial establishment, the Alfred Country Store, is in a c. 1841 building that was Greek Revival when built, but has also seen subsequent stylistic alterations.</p><br>
<p>The Haddenham Cabin, located in Fossil Butte National Monument near Kemmerer, Wyoming, is a historic cabin that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places .</p><br>
<p>It is an A-frame cabin that was designed and built c. 1918 by David C. Haddenham. It is notable for association with fossil quarrying in the Green River Formation; from seasonal work at this site Haddenham provided specimens of rare fossils to universities, museums, and private collectors. Located on the Quarry Trail, a 2.5 mile trail to Fossil Butte, once the center of a prehistoric lake; the cabin is about 2000 feet east of the fossil quarry.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the NRHP in 2003.</p><br>
<p>Alfred Shaker Historic District is a historic district in Alfred, Maine, with properties on both sides of Shaker Hill Road. The area had its first Shaker "believers" in 1783 following visiting with Mother Ann Lee and became an official community starting in 1793 when a meetinghouse was built. It was home to Maine&#39;s oldest and largest Shaker community. Two notable events were the songwriting of Joseph Brackett, including, according to most accounts, Simple Gifts, and the spiritual healing of the sick by the Shakers. When the Alfred Shakers products and goods were no longer competitive with mass-produced products and the membership had dwindled significantly, the village was closed in 1931 and members moved to Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village, also in Maine.</p><br>
<p>In memory of the influence that the Shaker village had on the community, the Shaker Village Museum was founded by the Friends of the Alfred Shaker Museum and in 2001 the village, or historic district, was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>In 1931 the farmland, village and buildings were acquired by the Brothers of Christian Instruction, now called the Notre Dame Spiritual Center.</p><br>
<h2>Shaker village</h2><br>
<h3>History</h3><br>
<p>John Cotton, having been inspired by Mother Ann Lee on May 26, 1783, became Maine&#39;s first Shaker member. That year members of the Shaker Church settled on the hill near Massabesic (now Shaker) Pond. Others dubbed them the "Merry Dancers", because of their ecstatic worship. "They were", as historian George J. Varney writes, "at this time fanatical in religion and intemperate in their indulgences."</p><br>
<p>The Shaker village was formally organized in 1793 when a meetinghouse was built. The community practiced the religions celibate communal living, with equality among the sexes and races. They built plain architecture and furniture, honest expressions of their faith. At the movements height in the 1840s, Shakers operated 19 utopian communities scattered from Maine to Kentucky, and as far west as Indiana.</p><br>
<p>Each of those communities was administratively organized within an area bishopric, and Alfred was the home of the Maine bishopric elders and eldresses, who traveled regularly between Alfred, Poland Hill, and New Gloucester to oversee those villages&#39; elders and eldresses. In 1848, the Alfred, Maine bishopric ministry included Elder Joseph Brackett and Eldress Rebecca Hodgdon, and their assistants Otis Sawyer and Deborah Fuller. Elder Joseph Brackett is attributed by many Shaker accounts to have written the famous 1848 Shaker dancing song, Simple Gifts. In 1880, the Maine ministry consisted of Elder Otis Sawyer and Eldress Hester Ann Adams, assisted by Mary Gillespie and John Vance.</p><br>
<p>Hundreds of people lived at the 300-acre Shaker village on both sides of Shaker Hill Road, which included a school, gardens, orchards, a grist and saw mill, farm land, barns, a dairy and shops. They made brooms, brushes, woven cloth, woodenware, spinning wheels, horsehair sieves, oval carriers and fancy goods. They reaped seeds and herbs and made herbal medicines. Key intentions among the Shakers were to live a simple life in harmony, respect nature, and produce well-made or cared for agricultural or material products. The village made a number of goods and products and was noted for "spiritualistic healing of the sick," but the daily operations were difficult to manage and the village was not economically successful due to the competition of manufactured goods.</p><br>
<p>By the end of the nineteenth century, the community consisted mainly of devoted women and the membership dwindled as members died. In 1920, a revival was led by Harriet Coolbroth and Mary Ann Walker to bolster the number of members, which resulted in a fervent community for several years.</p><br>
<p>In March 1931 The Alfred Shaker Historic District is preserved and listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 2001. Only Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village in New Gloucester survives under the control of the last few Shakers. Some former communities operate today as museums because, like Alfred Shaker Village, they closed when the congregation dwindled.</p><br>
<p>Artist Joshua Bussell was long a resident of the Alfred community.</p><br>
<h3>Alfred Shaker Museum</h3><br>
<p>The Alfred Shaker Museum, located in a gatehouse of the previous Shaker village, was founded by local residents who had organized the Friends of Alfred Shaker Museum to preserve the Shaker heritage within the community. Within the renovated Carriage House is a library, shop and the museum that conducts periodic craft workshops, events and exhibits.</p><br>
<h2>Brothers of Christian Instruction</h2><br>
<p>In 1931, the Alfred property was sold to the Brothers of Christian Instruction, and is called the Notre Dame Spiritual Center. They have managed the farm and occupied the village buildings. Although the Shakers are gone, some of their apple orchards and blueberry fields are still yielding fruit, the sale of which helps support the York County Shelter.</p><br>
<p>The District No. 5 School, also known as the Alfred Gore School, is an historic one room school at 781 Gore Road in Alfred, Maine. Built in 1872, it was used as a school until 1921, and was restored to its appearance of that time in the 2000s. It is the best-preserved of Alfred&#39;s surviving district school buildings, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 4, 2009.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The District No. 5 School is located on the east side of Gore Road, a short way north of the rural village of North Alfred, and south of the road&#39;s junction with Avery Road. Set near the back of a grassy area surrounded by woods, it is a small wood-frame structure with a front-facing gable roof, clapboard siding, and a granite foundation. An open belfry, with four posts, a low balustrade, and decorative brackets, rises above the ridge of the roof, and is capped by a flared pyramidal roof. The front (west-facing) facade is three bays wide, with a pair of entrances on either side of a sash window. There is a small brick chimney at the rear, where a shed-roof addition extends to the east. The entrances lead into small vestibules, which provide access to the classroom. The walls and ceiling are finished in bead board, and the floor is random-width pine.</p><br>
<p>The school was built in 1872, on a site that has had a school since at least 1856. The belfry was added in 1900 after school students raised $12 to purchase a bell from Sears, Roebuck. The school was closed in 1921 due to declining enrollments and a failure to meet new state standards for heating and sanitation. In the 1920s and 1930s the building was leased for use as a residence, and it was afterward used as a community center. IN 1965 the rear addition, housing kitchen facilities, was added. In 2003 the building was formally turned over to the town by the district, and it has since been restored to its c. 1921 appearance.</p><br>
<p>The Lord-Dane House is a historic house in Alfred, York County, Maine. Built in about 1803 as a country retreat for a ship&#39;s captain, it is a high-quality example of Federal architecture in a rural context. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Lord-Dane House is set at the northwest corner of Federal and Gore Streets, a few miles north of Alfreds village center. Federal Street was, at the time of the houses construction, the primary road from the village to the northern reaches of the geographically large municipality. The house is a rambling two story L-shaped wood-frame structure, with a main block connected via ells to a former storehouse and carriage barn, which are now fully integrated into the structure. The main block has a hip roof, central chimney, and clapboard siding. There are major entrances on both the south and east-facing facades of the main block. Extending west from the main block is a gable-roof ell, which joins a similar ell at right angles. That ell extends south to connect to the carriage barn, whose door bays have been replaced by false fronts resembling doors. Portions of the house&#39;s exterior exhibit 19th-century stylistic alterations, including Greek Revival and Italianate elements.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1803 by Tobias Lord, a wealthy ship&#39;s captain and merchant operating out of Kennebunk. His second wife, Hepzibah Conant, whom he married in 1781, was an Alfred native, and the couple moved to Alfred after building this house. He died in 1808, she in 1816, and it was sold out of the family in 1821 by their heirs. Its most notable 19th-century resident was Nathan Dane, a lumber merchant and banker who also served in the state senate and as state treasurer in the 1860s. Dane lived here from 1830 to 1868.</p><br>
<p>The James Montgomery Flagg House is a historic house in the Biddeford Pool area of Biddeford, York County, Maine. It was built in 1910 as the summer home of James Montgomery Flagg, a New York-based artist and illustrator known for political cartoons and the iconic World War I recruiting poster depicting Uncle Sam. The house is decorated with murals painted by Flagg, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 2013, its owner, citing the buildings deteriorated condition, received approval to demolish and rebuild the house, preserving Flaggs murals.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Flagg House is located on the north side of Biddeford Pool, a peninsula jutting into the Gulf of Maine south of the mouth of the Saco River. It is one of a cluster of houses located at the northern end of St. Martin&#39;s Lane, a private lane bisecting a golf course. It is a 1½ wood frame bungalow, with a side-facing gable roof, twin chimneys, and a stuccoed exterior. The main facade is oriented to the south, away from the sea, and is seven bays wide with center entry. The roof above has two shed-roof dormers. The north (seaward) facade is similar, although it has a single wide dormer in the roof. Single-story wings extend the building to either side.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1910 for James Montgomery Flagg (1877–1960), and it was his summer retreat until 1940. He painted wall murals of Maine landscapes and coastal seascapes throughout its first floor. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. In 2013, the Biddeford Historic Preservation Commission approved the demolition of the house. The owner has promised to preserve the murals.</p><br>
