<p>The John Tarr House is an historic house at 29 Ferry Lane in Biddeford, Maine. Built about 1730, it is one of the oldest houses in the state of Maine, with a well-preserved interior that has unusual features. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The John Tarr House stands facing east toward the Saco River at the end of Ferry Lane, roughly midway between downtown Biddeford and the Biddeford Pool area at the river mouth. It is a -story Cape style timber-frame structure, five bays wide, with a side gable roof, large central chimney, and clapboard siding. The original front entrance is in the center of the east facade, with a secondary entrance (probably a 19th or 20th-century addition) on the south side. The rear facade, facing the street, has five windows. A -story ell extends to the north.</p><br>
<p>The house is estimated to have been built about 1730, making it one of Maine&#39;s oldest surviving structures. In addition to its great age, its significance lies in the original condition of its interior. This includes complete original wall paneling in the parlor spaces, and an unusually finished kitchen space in the rear. The kitchen features completely wainscoted walls and ceiling, something that is only known from two other chambers from New England (one is now in a museum in Concord, Massachusetts, and the other is at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City). The wainscoting panels are hand-planed.</p><br>
<p>The Isabella Breckinridge House also known as River House, and formerly the Breckinridge Public Affairs Center of Bowdoin College, is a historic house at 201 US Route 1 in York, Maine, United States. The main house, designed by architect Guy Lowell, is a 23-room mansion which was built in 1905 for Mary Goodrich, widow of tire magnate B. F. Goodrich. It is located on a 26 acre estate facing the York River. The property was given to Bowdoin College by Mary Marvin Breckinridge Patterson in 1974, and the college operated it as a conference center until it was sold into private hands in 2004. It is one of Maine&#39;s most architecturally distinctive and unusual early 20th-century summer estate houses.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Breckinridge House is located on the south side of US Route 1, just north of its crossing of the York River. It is set overlooking the river, and is screened from the road by woods. The house is a large -story painted brick structure that is roughly H-shaped, with a central block flanked by projecting wings. The main block has a hip roof with Dutch gables at the sides, while the wings, two stories in height, have flat roofs. The main facade is five bays wide, with a central entrance sheltered by a concave-roofed portico with wrought iron supports. Three gable-roofed dormers pierce the roof. The rear of the house, facing the river, is essentially identical. The river-facing elements of the wings have tall Colonial Revival round-arch windows. The interior of the house has Mediterranean styling, including stuccoed walls and wrought iron railings for the main staircase.</p><br>
<p>The house was designed by the noted Boston architect Guy Lowell, and was built in 1905. The original construction had a mansard roof on the central block. After the house was gutted by fire in the mid-1920s, the house was reconstructed to its present configuration; it is not known if Lowell did the design work for the repairs, which were completed in 1927, the year of his death. The house was built for Isabella Goodrich Breckinridge, the daughter of tire magnate B. F. Goodrich, and the wife of John Cabell Breckinridge III, the son of Kentucky politician John C. Breckinridge. Her descendant, philanthropist Mary Marvin Breckinridge Patterson, gave the property to Bowdoin College in 1974. Bowdoin operated it as a conference center until 2004, when it was sold into private hands.</p><br>
<p>The pool house, one of several outbuildings on the estate, suffered $50,000 in fire damage in 2011.</p><br>
<p>The Biddeford–Saco Mills Historic District encompasses the historic mill complex that flanks both sides of the Saco River in Biddeford and Saco, Maine. It covers 38 acre of property adjacent to both cities&#39; downtown areas which has seen industrial uses since the 18th century, and presently contains a collection of well-preserved 19th and early-20th century industrial buildings. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2008. Many of the buildings in the district have been rehabilitated and repurposed for other uses, including residential, commercial, and industrial.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The district has more than forty historically significant structures spread across 38 acre. Six buildings are located on Saco Island, south of Gooch Street and west of Main Street. In Biddeford, the district is bounded on the south by Main, York, and Lancaster Streets, on the west by Lincoln Street, and on the north by Pearl Street. Two of buildings on Saco Island are noted for their length: the York Mills #1 and #4, which are oriented roughly east–west across the center of the island parallel to each other, are more than 500 ft long.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The industrial history of the Saco–Biddeford area began in the 1760s, when Thomas Cutts, a merchant and ship owner purchased the island in the Saco River between the two city centers. Now within Saco city limits, it became known as Cutts Island, later called Saco Island.</p><br>
<p>Cutts established a lumber mill and in 1811 iron works founded by Cutts and Josiah Calef.</p><br>
<p>In 1826 the first textile mill was built on the island. The oldest building in the mill complex was built in 1832-33 by the York Manufacturing Company. From this beginning the industrial growth of the area proceeded, occupying the entire island and a large adjacent area on the Biddeford shore. The most recent historically significant building was built about 1940.</p><br>
<p>The East Main Street Residential Historic District in Miles City, Montana, including 1600-2315 E. Main St., is a historic district that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>

<p>The Jackson House is a historic Queen Anne-style house in the vein of Victorian Architecture. It is located at 1700 Ninth Street in Alamogordo, Otero County, New Mexico. It was built in 1896 by A.P. Jackson.</p><br>
<p>A.P. Jackson was on the commission to select the site for the Institute of the Blind in Alamogordo. Being the President of the Jackson-Galbraith-Foxworth Company, dealers in lumber in Alamogordo. He had been one of the most active business men of the town since its establishment in 1898, and his efforts had been of a practical beneficial nature, far-reaching in their extent, scope and results. He was a native of Texas, having been born in Denton county in 1866. He was reared to farm life and educated in the public schools. In 1892, he became connected with the lumber trade, and from that time until 1898 operated lumber yards in Texas. Upon the founding of the new town of Alamogordo he embarked in business there in June, 1898. He had a stock of lumber shipped to this point and unloaded from the first train entering the town. He was there two months before the railroad was built.</p><br>
<p>In 1900, he also served as a Director to the First National Bank of Alamogordo.</p><br>
<p>Most of the frame houses of the town had been erected from lumber furnished by this company. The business is conducted under the name of the Jackson-Galbraith-Foxworth Company, and was incorporated under the laws of New Mexico in January, 1904, with a capital stock of two hundred thousand dollars.</p><br>
<p>The house was used as a tuberculosis hospice briefly during the 1920s.</p><br>
<p>In 2004, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Yankeetown site  is a substantial archaeological site along the Ohio River in the southwestern part of the USA state of Indiana. Inhabited during the prehistoric Woodland period, the site has yielded important information about Woodland-era peoples in the region, but it has been damaged by substantial erosion. Despite the damage, it has been a historic site for more than thirty years.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>Yankeetown lies primarily in Section 21 of Anderson Township in Warrick County. Because of the presence of the Ohio River, this section is a tiny riverside triangle, unlike the mile-square sections to the east and north. The present-day unincorporated community of Yankeetown lies approximately 1.5 mi north of the site; a road runs from the town to the riverside, and the road/river junction marks one end of the site&#39;s core section. This section extends along the riverbank for about 0.75 mi downstream from the road, The riverbank core of the site has experienced extensive damage from erosion by the river: in 1950, landowners along the river stated that approximately 20 ft of the bank were cut away annually.</p><br>
<h2>Excavations</h2><br>
<p>Glenn Albert Black visited Yankeetown in April 1950 with three companions; the four surveyed the site carefully and began cataloging artifacts found there. Heavy erosion permitted them to identify features such as pits and hearths, and artifacts such as clay pellets and bits of charcoal and burned clay were numerous. Four months later, a second survey investigated the site. Among its premier findings was the identification of a layer of daub about 8 in below the surface at the site&#39;s low end; although it was only 10 ft long, the layer was significant for its composition of burned debris, grass, and weeds, as well as for its place as the location of a depression that could have been the site of a house.</p><br>
<h3>Specific artifacts</h3><br>
<p>Many artifacts found at Yankeetown are curated in the museum at Angel Mounds State Memorial in nearby Evansville, although the second 1950 survey kept its findings separate from those at Angel, and the landowner maintained a substantial collection. More than six thousand sherds from Yankeetown are curated at Angel; the majority of those known in 1950 were tempered with clay and/or grit, although six hundred bore evidence of shell tempering, and only about five hundred lacked evidence of a tempering agent. Meanwhile, large numbers of the sherds are plain; hundreds have been found marked with cords or incisions, but approximately 64% of the pottery known in 1950 was completely undecorated. Rarer items found at Yankeetown include flint knives, hammerstones, trowels, lithic flakes, bones, objects of cannel coal, and two damaged pottery effigies of women with everything below the shoulders broken off.</p><br>
<h2>Conclusions</h2><br>
<p>The second 1950 survey named Yankeetown the type site for a variety of pottery that had been subjected both to appliqué and to incision; when found elsewhere, it was called "Yankeetown fillet" or "Yankeetown incised".</p><br>
<p>Yankeetown-like objects have been found far away from Yankeetown; they are known farther north than Vincennes, Indiana on the Wabash, at the Great Salt Spring in Gallatin County, Illinois, and in the Illinois side of the St. Louis metropolitan area. It appears to be related to another Late Woodland manifestation known as the Duffy complex, which is known from a small group of sites near the mouth of the Wabash; both Yankeetown and Duffy have been found at the Great Salt Spring, but the precise relationship between the two is unclear.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>Preservation of the Yankeetown site has been difficult, due to erosion by the river, although the curation of artifacts at the Angel museum has assisted in saving information about the site. In order to facilitate further preservation work, the site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. It is one of eight National Register-listed locations in Warrick County; other county sites with this designation include a portion of the Angel Mounds State Memorial and a nearby Caborn-Welborn Mississippian site, the Ellerbusch site.</p><br>
<p>The Porter–Vallejo Mansion, located at 29 Bishop St. in Pajaro, California, is a historic Queen Anne style house that was designed by architect William Henry Weeks. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>It is significant both for its architecture and for its association with John T. Porter, a business leader and "a central figure locally in the complex issues surrounding California&#39;s anti-Chinese movement in 1888."</p><br>
<p>The house was built first as a salt-box in the 1850s by Antone Vallejo. It was moved to its present site and renovated in the 1870s by John T. Porter, bringing it into Gothic Revival style that was then in fashion. Then, during 1895–99, William Henry Weeks designed and supervised modification into Queen Anne style, but saving many elements of the 1874 Gothic Revival building.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. The listing included four contributing buildings.</p><br>
<p>The building is currently owned by the County of Monterey and used for county offices.</p><br>
<p>Trimmer Hill is a historic Queen Anne style house at 230 6th St. in Pacific Grove, California that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places . It was built in 1893.</p><br>
<p>It was built for medical Dr. Oliver Smith Trimmer, first mayor of Pacific Grove, and mayor for 20 years. It was listed on the NRHP in 1982.</p><br>
<p>Its 1980 NRHP nomination asserts it is "an unaltered, exuberant example of period Queen Anne styling....one of the most outstanding examples of its type and period in a community which is known for its 19th century architecture." The house was also described as "&#39;a very good</p><br>
<p>example of the Queen Anne style&#39;" in A Guide to Architecture in San Francisco and Northern California.</p><br>
<p>The Rockhouse Cliffs Rockshelters  are a pair of rockshelters in the far southern region of the USA state of Indiana. Located amid broken terrain in the Hoosier National Forest, the shelters may have been inhabited for more than ten thousand years by peoples ranging from the Early Archaic period until the twentieth century. As a result of their extensive occupation and their remote location, they are important and well-preserved archaeological sites and have been named a historic site.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>The shelters are located in western Union Township just south of the Leopold Township line in central Perry County; their PLSS location is Section 24, Township 5 South, Range 2 West. This portion of the county is extremely difficult of access: Perry County is the hilliest part of Indiana, and the land surrounding the shelters is isolated even by Perry County standards. The area was once heavily cultivated, but during the 1930s, the Civilian Conservation Corps engaged in a reforestation program on the former farmsteads. Rockshelters are common in the region; a cursory field survey found 70 shelters countywide in 1953.</p><br>
<p>Between the two shelters, 50 ft away from the southern shelter, lies a small spring. A road formerly ran atop the cliff edge, but when the area became a forest preserve, the road was abandoned, and it was inaccessible to all wheeled vehicles by the 1950s.</p><br>
<h2>Archaeological investigations</h2><br>
<p>Some of the earliest digging at the site appears to have occurred during the 1930s: one reforestation team active in the area was led by an avid pothunter, and every new rockshelter that he encountered was subject to "exploration" by his crewmen. The Rockhouse Cliffs Rockshelters were recorded by the first scholarly archaeological survey of Perry County. Conducted by a team led by University of Georgia archaeologist James H. Kellar in mid-1953, the survey operated under the sponsorship of the Indiana Historical Bureau and the guidance of Indiana University archaeologist Glenn Black.</p><br>
<h2>Conclusions</h2><br>
<p>Rockhouse Cliffs was occasionally inhabited during the Early Archaic period, although neither Rockhouse Cliffs nor other shelters in the Hoosier National Forest has produced signs of house construction. Among the distinctive forms of Archaic points found at the site is the Elk River Stemmed type; Rockhouse Cliffs is one of the most important sites known to have yielded this point, which has been found as far away as Russell Cave in northern Alabama as well as in prominent closer sites such as western Kentucky&#39;s Indian Knoll.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>The shelters were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in April 1986 because of their archaeological importance; they are two of just three National Register-listed rockshelter sites in Indiana, along with the Potts Creek Rockshelter to the north in Crawford County.</p><br>
<p>The Miles City Main Post Office located at 106 N. Seventh St. in Miles City, Montana, is a historic post office building. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as USA Post Office-Miles City Main.</p><br>
<p>It was built in 1916 by Hiram Lloyd Co. Its design is credited to USA Supervising Architect Oscar Wenderoth. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>It is one of 18 Federally funded post offices built in Montana during 1900–1941, all of which survived until 1985 when they were reviewed for historic registry eligibility. In the 1985 study, it was noted that a post office may have significance at a state level because it is a first or excellent example of a standardized design. The Miles City post office, completed in 1916, is from a standardized design, and is actually nearly identical to the post office in Kalispell, Montana (completed in 1918); three others in the state are also excellent examples of standard designs.</p><br>
<p>The Miles City post office also is notable for its association with the economic growth of Miles City, while others are not significant for representing such associations. Miles City had been reached by the Northern Pacific railroad in 1881, but it grew rapidly later; in 1909 its land office was processing 1200 land claims per month.</p><br>
<p>The Miles City post office was funded by the federal Public Buildings Omnibus Act of June 25, 1910, which allowed for site acquisition and building cost under a limit of $75,000.</p><br>
<p>The Berry State Aid Bridge spans the Niobrara River in Cherry County, Nebraska near Valentine, Nebraska. It is a historic Pratt through truss bridge that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Also known as the Niobrara River Bridge and identified as NEHBS No. CE00-225, it was built during 1920–21. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>It replaced an original bridge at the site that was built in 1899, which was moved about five miles to replace another bridge, and which is now also NRHP-listed as Brewer Bridge. During construction of the new Berry State Aid Bridge, a dynamite blast damaged it, but it was completed by June 1921.</p><br>
<p>The Kirkpatrick House, also known as the Bradley House, is a historic house located on USA Route 331 west of Highland Home, Alabama. The house is one of only two buildings remaining from the Highland Home College, one of over 100 institutes of higher learning founded in Alabama in the 1880s. Colonel M. L. Kirkpatrick, a founder of the school, built the house sometime before 1870. When the Highland Home Institute was founded in the early 1880s, the house became a dormitory for the new school. The school changed its name to the Highland Home Male and Female College in 1889 and operated until 1916; during this time, it was the only institute of higher learning in Crenshaw County. The Kirkpatrick House is the only surviving building from the school&#39;s first years as well as the oldest building in Highland Home.</p><br>
<p>The Kirkpatrick House was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 25, 1975.</p><br>
<p>The Borman Bridge bringing a Cherry County, Nebraska road over the Niobrara River near Valentine, Nebraska was built in 1916, as a replacement for one of 18 Cherry County bridges washed away by flood and winter ice on February 16, 1916. It was designed by the Canton Bridge Co. of Canton, Ohio, fabricated by the Cambria Steel Co. of Johnstown, and built by the Canton Bridge Co.</p><br>
<p>It has also been known as the Niobrara River Bridge and known as NEHBS No. CE00-224. It is a pinned Pratt through truss bridge that could be and was built quickly, and has since carried only light traffic. It cost $4,230.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>Calhan Paint Mines is an archeological district located on the eastern plains of Colorado in El Paso County, one mile south of Calhan. The Paint Mines Interpretive Park is "a unique blending of geological, archaeological, historical and ecological resources".</p><br>
<h2>Park</h2><br>
<p>The park has a diverse ecological system, with a combination of prairie, badlands and wetlands that attracts coyote, mule deer, song birds, horned toads, falcons, rabbits, and hawks.</p><br>
<p>The park has 4 mi of trails that rise over 500 ft in elevation. It covers 750 acres, containing grassland and geological formations of hoodoos, colored clay and sandstone-capped spires. The site is protected by law because of the fragile environment, as well as the geological and archaeological significance of the artifacts, rocks, animals and plants.</p><br>
<p>Each year the park is visited by birdwatchers and hikers. It is also an outdoor geological lab.</p><br>
<h2>Archaeological district</h2><br>
<p>Archaeological evidence, such as arrow heads and stone dart tips, has found that there was prehistoric and historic occupation by Native American peoples. The earliest occupation was about 9,000 years ago. The clay was used in prehistoric and historic times to create and paint pottery and as paint for ceremonial purposes. The selenite clay was used for arrowheads. The "channels" were used to herd bison into a gulch where they could be easily hunted with bows and arrows. In the 1800s Euro-American people settled in the park property.</p><br>
<p>The Calhan Paint Mines Archaeological District was designated by the National Park Service. The land is protected by the El Paso County Parks Department, with funding by the State Historical Fund for master planning and an archaeological survey.</p><br>
<p>Max Keil Building is a historic commercial building located at Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware. It was built about 1850, and modified in the Art Moderne / Art Deco style in 1938. It is a three-story, single-bay commercial building with a rectangular plan built of wall bearing brick construction. The front facade features a large curved glass display window on the first floor and an austere, peach-colored terra-cotta wall with a large rectangular window of structural glass block at the second and third floors.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The John Price House, also known as the Price Anniversary House, is a historic house in Pismo Beach, California. Built from 1893 to 1894 for city founder John Michael Price, the house is the oldest building in Pismo Beach. The two-story house was designed in a vernacular style. The house&#39;s design exhibits Victorian influences and includes a gable roof which originally had ornamental cresting, a porch with decorative woodwork, and decorative window sills. Price, who had purchased the ranch site in 1852, built the house as an anniversary present for his wife. Price lived in the house until his death in 1902.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 3, 1988.</p><br>
<p>Max Keil Building is a historic commercial building located at Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware. It was built about 1875, and modified in the Art Moderne/Art Deco style in 1938. It is a three-story, single-bay commercial building with a rectangular plan built of wall bearing brick construction. The front facade features large display windows on the first floor and an austere, peach-colored terra-cotta wall with a large rectangular display window at the second and third floors. In 2010, it was occupied by an outlet of Rainbow Shops.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>Central Elementary School is a historic school in Albemarle, North Carolina whose current main building opened in 1925 as Albemarle High School, and whose previous building  located next door was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 2015. Additions to the 1925 building were constructed in 1936 and a renovation and expansion completed in 2007. When the renovation was completed, Central Elementary moved from its original building next door. The renovation resulted in the Stanly County&#39;s school board being honored by Preservation North Carolina in 2008. The school has 561 students in grades pre-kindergarten to 5th grade and is SACS-accredited.</p><br>
<h2>History of the original building</h2><br>
<p>The original Central School (previously Albemarle Graded School) was built in 1900 at North Third Street and East North Street on the site of another building built in 1875. The school burned November 18, 1920 but was renovated and expanded.</p><br>
<p>When a new high school opened in 1925 next door, the older building became Central Elementary School. Additions were made in 1952 and 1965. While the main entrance had faced North Street, the 1965 addition included a new entrance on Third Street.</p><br>
<p>By 1990, the oldest building needed replacing. A new building next door was considered, but the decision was made to renovate and add to the Albemarle Middle School building already on that site. The old Central School building had been empty since students were moved to the renovated building next door in 2007. In December 2013, after several offers, the Stanly County School Board voted to sell the old building to the city for $150,000.</p><br>
<p>The old Central School buildings are part of a downtown revitalization project funded partly by tax credits for historic preservation of the school buildings. The Albemarle Graded School/Central Elementary buildings were named to the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<p>Albemarle Central School Apartments, intended for people over 55 meeting income requirements, opened in August 2016.</p><br>
<h2>History, expansion and renovation of the 1925 building</h2><br>
<p>Charles C. Hook designed Albemarle High School. The design included "carved Indian-influenced geometric limestone patterns." The new building was described as "one of the handsomest structures in the city... built of the best grade of brick... three stories and... practically fireproof." It was opened in the fall of 1925.</p><br>
<p>A gym completed in 1936 was considered "one of the most modern structures of its type in North Carolina high schools."</p><br>
<p>A football stadium with 2300 permanent seats and 700 temporary bleachers opened in 1947.</p><br>
<p>A new high school was built on Palestine Road in 1958, and the old high school building became Albemarle Junior High School. A stadium was added in 1978.</p><br>
<p>Albemarle Junior High became Albemarle Middle School in 1985.</p><br>
<p>A 2000 bond referendum called for the 1925 building to be demolished, but a number of people in the community wanted the historic building preserved.</p><br>
<p>The National Institute of Historic Preservation offered financial help. Two of the 1936 additions would also be kept—the gymnasium and a section next to the football field.</p><br>
<p>A 2-story building with a new cafeteria was planned on the site of the other 1936 addition. Students were expected to move in by Fall 2004 and the construction costs were anticipated at $6.8 to $7.3 million. The $7.9 million cost of the project was $1.2 million more than expected.</p><br>
<p>With a new middle school building completed on Badin Road in 2003, the former middle school building was expected to house 500 students, with larger classrooms than many schools had, and kindergarten and first-grade students would have classes on the first floor. Plaster moldings were still able to be used. No structural cracks were found in the 1925 building, despite the lack of expansion joints. Onxley said the gym "has all the look of a modern movement with simplified precast concrete detailing to match the carved limestone."</p><br>
<p>The project ran into numerous delays. A contractor went bankrupt, lead and asbestos were bigger problems than expected, and steel beams in the new section were bent. The target date was August 2006. Then a slab between the old and new sections had problems. Work stopped until a new contractor could be found. The project resumed in October 2006. The cost had increased to between $11 and $12 million. The basement of the old school had been removed and the third floor of the 1925 building was left for future expansion. The stage and balcony of the 1924 auditorium were restored, and original brickwork that had not been visible can now be seen, showing the skill of those who built it. Students moved into the new 99,433-square-foot Central Elementary on November 13, 2007.</p><br>
<p>In 2008, Preservation North Carolina honored the Stanly County School Board with its Carraway Award of Merit.</p><br>
<p>Manitou Springs Historic District in Manitou Springs, Colorado is roughly bounded by US 24, Ruxton Avenue, El Paso Boulevard and Iron Mountain Avenue. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, it is one of the country&#39;s largest National Historic Districts.</p><br>
<h2>Overview</h2><br>
<p>Manitou Springs, also called "Saratoga of the West", was established as a resort community, known for its mineral springs and "spectacular setting" and at the base of Pikes Peak.</p><br>
<p>Manitou Avenue is the main thoroughfare and location for most of the district&#39;s businesses. Some businesses are located on Ruxton Avenue and Canon Street. Residences are located along winding streets on hills that overlook the center of town.</p><br>
<p>The houses cling to the mountain slopes, sometimes creating a look of stacked boxes. The feeling close-up, on foot, or from a car, is often of a precarious and cramped context. Lacking flat land for lawns, Manitou is a town of decks, porches and stone-walled terraces.</p><br>
<p>Buildings in the historic district include homes, churches, the public library, hotels and lodges, the town&#39;s springs, Rainbow Falls and more. Homes are "picturesque" 19th century Victorian frame houses, Queen Anne homes, cottages, stone High style homes and cabins. Cliff House, with wide verandahs, is one of the historic resort hotels. In the 1870s, a Manitou contracting firm run by the Canadian Gillis Brothers imparted a "fundamentally British" flair to the Queen Anne cottages and the houses that they had built. Their cottages were replicas of Victorian houses on a smaller scale. Their projects included Miramont Castle, the Congregational Church and Leddy Block.</p><br>
<p>Manitou Springs maintains much of its 19th-century appearance due to its geographic location and the town&#39;s strong preservation efforts. The town developed within a tight valley surrounded by hillsides that are developed to their potential; There is no room for expansion. In addition, the town optimizes preservation of historical buildings. To a large extent, the 19th century homes and hotels are prevalent, although many have been renovated or expanded. Changes since the 19th century include loss of some commercial buildings and accommodation of automobile traffic and parking.</p><br>
<p>In 1979, Manitou Springs residents founded the Historic Preservation Commission to oversee "...the protection, enhancement and perpetuation of districts of historic and cultural significance and to instill and foster civic pride in the legacy and achievements of the past."</p><br>
<p>The following year the Manitou Springs Historic District was formed. In 1981 the commission administered their Design Review Guidelines. It has the "authority to review and approve, conditionally approve, or deny alterations to existing resources or new construction in the Historic District." Seven commissioners and up to three alternate commissioners are appointed by the City Council. In 1983, the district was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Natural springs</h2><br>
<p>The town has several mineral springs, called manitou for the "breath of the Great Spirit Manitou" believed to have created the "effervescence" in the spring water. The springs were considered sacred grounds where Native Americans drank and soaked in the mineral water to replenish and heal themselves. There were 9 or 10 natural springs. As whites moved in there were "skirmishes" for access to the historical resort area until the Native Americans were removed from the area and placed on reservations.</p><br>
<p>Explorer Stephen Harriman Long made note of the water&#39;s healing properties in 1820.</p><br>
<p>Forty-eight years later, a plan for a health resort was developed by Dr. William Abraham Bell and William Jackson Palmer, a general during the American Civil War: "They had a vision of dreamy summer villas nestled in the mountains, with grand hotels and landscaped parks clustered around the springs." Railroad transportation brought people into the area, first called Fountain Colony and La Font. The town was not built as envisioned by the two men. Storefronts and homes were built in the town. It became the first resort town in the state.</p><br>
<p>In 1873 Henry McAllister, a developer working for Palmer, touted the medicinal benefits of the springs and that Manitou Springs had the necessary components of a successful spa resort, including "incomparable climate and scenery".</p><br>
<p>Medical practitioners, such as Dr. Edwin Solly, promoted the health benefits of the "pure air" and sunny Rocky Mountain climate as the "worlds best suited therapeutic environment" for the treatment of tuberculosis. He also believed in the benefits of mineral spring water which drew tourists and the infirm, particularly people with tuberculosis, to the area. Some springs were enclosed as the town grew. One of the enclosures, in red sandstone and under a "conical roofed structure", is the Cheyenne Spring House. There were more than 50 drilled wells and springs after the turn of the century. Since then, more were enclosed. After a period when the towns popularity diminished, some springs were closed, capped or paved over. Then the Mineral Springs Foundation was formed in 1987 to restore some of the springs and promote the benefits of the towns spring water. Walking tours of the towns springs are called "Springabouts". Manitou Springs water was sold "worldwide".</p><br>
<h2>Churches</h2><br>
<p>There are three churches in the historic district: St. Andrews Episcopal Church, First Congregationalist Church and Our Lady of Perpectual Help Catholic Church. The Congregational Church, believed to have been designed by Robert S. Roeschlaub, built of stone and ashlar, is located on 101 Pawnee Street. It was built in 1880 by the Gillis Brothers. The English Gothic Episcopal church at 808 Manitou Street, funded in part by William Bell and his wife, co-founders of the town, was built in 1905. H. A. Macomb was the architect. The Gothic Catholic Church on 218 Ruxton Street, is surrounded by walls and a cobblestone grotto; one access point to the church is a bridge that crosses over Ruxton Creek.</p><br>
<h2>Hotels and motels</h2><br>
<p>Current hotels/Inns include the Craftwood Inn, Cliff House, McLaughlin Family Lodge and Sunnyside Hotel.</p><br>
<p>Sunnyside Hotel, which was located on Pawnee Street, began as a cottage and was expanded over time.</p><br>
<p>As people began to take vacations by automobile, their lodging requirements changed. El Colorado is an example of a motel that was built for parking and access convenience.</p><br>
<h2>High style buildings</h2><br>
<h3>Inns</h3><br>
<p>El Paso Boulevard is home to several "High style" houses, which are now inns. One is Red Crags, a red sandstone building built about 1890s, which is "dramatically sited on a slope". It is at 302 El Paso. Next are Rockledge Country Inn and Onaledge Bed and Breakfast at 328 El Paso. Both buildings were designed in 1913; are Elizabethan architecture with stucco, stone and wood; and have stone walls. Craftwood Inn, at 404 El Paso, is also Elizabethan with clipped gables.</p><br>
<h3>Homes and museum</h3><br>
<p>Aside from the "High style" houses that have become inns, there are a few others that are traditional residences. Nolan House and Redstone Castle are Queen Anne architecture, both with prominent turrets. Miramont Castle is an eclectic mix of architectural styles, but primarily Queen Anne. There are five other High style houses in the Manitou Springs Historic District; Several are Shingles style, but there are also Second Empire, chalet, a mixture of styles and a Pueblo type house.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>First Hamilton Hotel</h3><br>
<p>The first Hamilton Hotel building was constructed in 1851 as the Rugby Academy, a private school. By 1862, the structure had been converted to a hotel, Rugby House. In the late 1860s, it was purchased by naval officer Horatio Bridge and his wife, who lived at the hotel. They renamed it Hamilton House, in honor of Mrs. Bridge&#39;s late friend Eliza Hamilton Holly, the daughter of founding father Alexander Hamilton. The hotel was leased for ten years each to Mrs. M.J. Colley in 1872 and then in 1882 to William M. Gibson, owner of the nearly Ebbitt House Hotel. Owner Charlotte Bridge expanded the property in 1895 by purchasing an adjacent plot. On her death in 1907, the Hamilton Hotel was sold to William Little. The hotel was sold again a month later to Irving O. Ball.</p><br>
<h3>Modern Hamilton Hotel</h3><br>
<p>The hotel was sold to Felix Lake in June 1921, for $450,000. He announced plans to demolish it and construct an office building, only to sell the property again the following month to a group of businessmen who had formed the Hamilton Hotel Corporation. They demolished the original hotel and constructed a modern replacement, designed by local architect Jules Henri de Sibour in the Beaux-Arts style.</p><br>
<p>The new Hotel Hamilton opened on November 29, 1922. A 1924 senate investigation revealed that Felix Lake had acted as part of a criminal enterprise, along with the F.H. Smith Company and the Hamilton Hotel Company, to inflate the property&#39;s value. The scandal widened in the early 1930s, and numerous politicians and businessmen were implicated, with multiple officers of the F.H. Smith Company sentenced to prison.</p><br>
<p>The scandal forced the Hamilton Hotel Corporation to sell the property soon after it opened to the Chesapeake Hotel Corporation. They, in turn, sold the hotel to Maddux, Marshall, Moss & Mallory in May 1927, for $3 million. The new owners placed the hotel in their 4-M Hotels chain, but then sold the hotel again in December 1927 to a group of New York and Chicago businessmen.</p><br>
<p>The hotel was sold by Tishman Realty & Construction Company to Manger Hotels in March 1950 and became the Manger Hamilton Hotel. With demand for hotel rooms in downtown Washington enormously decreased after the 1968 Washington, D.C. riots, Manger Hotels sold the hotel to the Hamilton Leasing Corporation in 1969, for $1,072,906. They operated it as the Hamilton Hotel until October 1972, when they closed the hotel and sold it for $1.2 million to the Salvation Army, which reopened it in 1974 as a women&#39;s hotel, the Evangeline Hotel for Women. The hotel closed again on May 29, 1977.</p><br>
<p>The property was sold to Hamilton Associates, Ltd in 1978 and converted at a cost of $5 million to an office building. The office building was a financial failure. It was sold to Mohamed Hadid in the 1980s, but in the aftermath of the Savings and loan crisis, the $22 million mortgage ended up in the hands of the federal government&#39;s Resolution Trust Corporation, which sold the loan to Bernstein Companies in 1993 for $3.4 million.</p><br>
<p>In June 1994, French hotel developer Albert Cohen&#39;s Home Plaza bought the vacant Hamilton and an adjacent office building. He restored them at a cost of $20 million. The hotel building was rebuilt with an additional two stories on top. The office building was converted into additional rooms and meeting space for the hotel. The Hamilton Crowne Plaza opened in June 1996. Cohen sold the hotel to the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company in 1997 for $45 million.</p><br>
<p>The hotel was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 17, 2013. In September 2017, Massachusetts Mutual Life sold the hotel to EOS DCH Owner LLC, for $106.5 million. The hotel left the Crowne Plaza brand and became the Hamilton Hotel, an independent property. In June 2019, the Hamilton Hotel completed a mult-million dollar renovation project with a new lobby design, a new restaurant, Via Sophia, and a new cocktail bar, Society.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The 320-room Hamilton Hotel is located in downtown Washington, D.C., and features a 1920s art deco look. It is an AAA 4-diamond luxury hotel. The hotel is located five blocks away from the White House and one block from the McPherson Square WMATA metro station. It is within walking distance of the Smithsonian Institution museum, the National Mall and the Corcoran Gallery of Art.</p><br>
<h2>Features</h2><br>
<p>In June, 2019 Hamilton Hotel opened Via Sophia, an Italian restaurant in the lobby, and Society, a new speakeasy-style cocktail bar.</p><br>
<p>The Hamilton Hotel provides 17,500 ft&sup2; to 18,000 ft&sup2; of space for events and meetings. In the hotel there are 17 suites, 207 single rooms, 111 double rooms, 318 non-smoking rooms and 17 accessible rooms. There also are executive floors and rooms. In total there are 14 floors.</p><br>
<p>Barker House was once a hotel in Manitou Springs, Colorado in the Manitou Springs Historic District. It is a National Register of Historic Places listing.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Charles Barker bought Pine Cottage in 1881 and built an extension and expanded it to the "Barker House". Barker was previously a manager and Manitou House schoolteacher. The Barker House is now a private, residential building, with 48 units.</p><br>
<p>The PICO Building, also known as the PICO Hotel, is an historic 2-story redbrick building located at 209 North Oak Avenue, corner of West Commercial Street, in Sanford, Florida. Built during 1886–1887 for Henry B. Plant of Plant Investment Co.  to serve travelers arriving in Sanford on his railroad and steamship lines, it was designed by local architect William T. Cotter in the Romanesque Revival and Moorish Revival styles of architecture and built by the H. M. Papworth Construction Company. In 1906, the building was remodeled and sold to the Takach family, who had operated the restaurant for Plant by Bertha E. Takach and family, Hungarian immigrants.</p><br>
<p>According to the Orlando Sentinel on April 22, 1973, "Mrs. Takch, the owner (of an adjacent restaurant), had such good food... she got all the customers. So, in 1889, Mr. Plant, whose dining room was losing out, made a deal with Mr. and Mrs. G. L. Takach to take over their Pico Hotel." In fact, "they DID, in 1891...from that time, many called the Pico Hotel the Takach Hotel. It had gas lights, white table cloths, and the people who ate there were well dressed, as train travelers always were in that era."</p><br>
<p>"Their restaurant continued in the building for about 50 years. The building&#39;s original onion dome was destroyed in a 1950s storm. The building then went on to become an office building used primarily for law offices.</p><br>
<p>In 1989, it was listed in A Guide to Florida&#39;s Historic Architecture prepared by the Florida Association of the American Institute of Architects and published by the University of Florida Press.</p><br>
<p>The building is a contributing property in the Sanford Commercial District, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 15, 1976.</p><br>
<p>The Bieker-Wilson Village Site is an archaeological site in the far southeastern section of the USA state of Illinois. Inhabited during multiple periods over more than five hundred years, the village has been designated a historic site.</p><br>
<h2>Geographic context</h2><br>
<p>Bieker-Wilson occupies river bottomland near the mouth of the Wabash River. It was previously located on the riverside, but the river has shifted and now flows farther to the east; the old river is now a slow-moving bayou locally known as Sandy Slough. Today, the site is farmland; it lies about 2.5 mi northeast of the small community of New Haven. One of numerous archaeological sites on the Illinois side of the lower Wabash valley, it lies in a region inhabited for thousands of years before Columbus.</p><br>
<h2>Archaeological work</h2><br>
<p>In the 1960s, regional interests proposed the construction of the Cross Wabash Valley Waterway, which would have required extensive construction projects along the river in order to make it more accessible to riverine shipping. Before the project was cancelled, the Corps arranged with the University of Illinois to conduct a field survey of the river valley. Under the direction of Robert Clouse, surveyors discovered the Bieker-Wilson Site in 1972, and further study was performed one year later by Southern Illinois University scholar Ronald Pulcher. While neither survey conducted any excavations, simple observation of the site and collection of artifacts from the surface has shown it to have been a significant settlement at one time: a portion of the site slightly less than 4 acre in area has soil much darker in color than the rest of the field, which the surveyors interpreted as evidence of a substantial midden in the darkened area.</p><br>
<h2>Research conclusions</h2><br>
<p>Although the site has not been excavated, the surface collections performed by the original surveyors have enabled scholars to form some conclusions about Bieker-Wilsons inhabitants. It is known that the site was occupied during the Middle and Late Woodland Period as well as by peoples of the later Mississippian culture; the site was inhabited for at least five hundred years, and occupation for more than a millennium is possible. Multiple major Woodland sites have been found in the immediate vicinity; two such sites, Hubele and Wilson, are located about 5 mi to the northeast. During the succeeding Late Woodland period, people of a culture known as the Duffy Complex lived on the Illinois side of the Wabash near its mouth; Bieker-Wilson, like Hubele, is one of the few sites that has been identified as a potential Duffy village site. Because the Duffy Complex is known from so few sites, comparatively little is known about its people; their distinctively plain pottery is well attested, but their chronological place in relation to other Woodland cultures is uncertain, as is their relationship (if any) with other peoples living at the same time period. Even the cursory surveys performed at Bieker-Wilson were able to demonstrate that Duffy peoples lived there, and as such it is deemed important because of the possibility that excavation of its large midden could clarify much that remains unknown about the culture. The sites uses were apparently minimal during the Middle Woodland; it was seemingly employed for toolworking purposes or used as a campsite, but even such a slight occupation has the chance of expanding current knowledge about Middle Woodland campsites. Finally, because the site was used during multiple phases of prehistory, the surveyors suggested that it would hold clues to cultural transitions: how did the Late Woodland peoples of the area come to participate in what today is known as the Mississippian culture? The chance that Bieker-Wilson might be able to answer this and similar questions was central to its importance for regional archaeology.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>Immediately after the sites discovery, when no formal protection had been applied to it, Bieker-Wilson was being well maintained; the owner was employing it as part of his farm, and no substantial evidence of damage could be found. In order to give the site additional protection, the Illinois Archaeological Survey produced an application in June 1977 for the site to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and the National Park Service granted this designation in November 1978. While National Register designation does not infringe on private landowners rights to use their properties as they wish, it prohibits federal agencies and federally funded projects undertaken by other agencies from damaging the property without first engaging in a lengthy review process. Bieker-Wilson is one of eleven National Register-listed locations in White County; the Hubele and Wilson village sites are among the other ten, and most of the remainder are located in the city of Carmi.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Architect T.R. Griffith designed the library in a style which has alternately been described as Mission Revival and Moorish Revival and includes a variety of elements from additional styles. The building has a tile roof and parapets topping arcades on its sides, which suggest a Mission Revival influence; however, the battlement and the curves in the parapet are Moorish Revival elements. In addition, elements of the arches in the arcade, the windows, and the roof ridge were borrowed from classical, Gothic, Spanish Romanesque, and Oriental themens. The library still serves as the Redlands public library. In addition, it houses a collection of materials on native tribes in California donated by Andrew Carnegie, as well as a collection of rare materials about Southern California and local history.</p><br>
