<p>The Boardman–Mitchell House is a three-story, six-bedroom Italianate villa located at 710 Bay Street, Staten Island, New York. It also has the address of 33 Brownell Street since it connects to both streets. It is a New York City Landmark and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012. It is known as a good example of a suburban architectural style used in an urban setting, as well as its connection to the piloting history of that portion of Staten Island.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built by Dr. James Boardman of the Seaman&#39;s Retreat hospital. His widow sold it to Captain Elvin Eugene Mitchell, a founder of the Sandy Hook Pilots Benevolent Association and known for his dramatic rescue of 176 people from the SS Oregon sinking in 1886. It remained in the Mitchell family until 1968 and has been sold several times since. In 2009, it was given to Barnett Shepherd, a local preservationist who started restoring the building.</p><br>
<p>Louviers, also known as Upper Louviers and Black Gates, was a historic home located at Wilmington in New Castle County, Delaware.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The original section was built in 1833 as a two-story stone dwelling measuring 31 feet, 8 inches wide and 35 feet long. Additions were made in 1833, 1837, after 1837, and after 1901. The second addition included a third floor and a facade with a Greek Revival style porch.</p><br>
<p>From 1837 to 1865, it was the home of Rear Admiral Samuel Francis Du Pont, a member of the prominent Du Pont family. Also located on the property are contributing gate houses, and an iron bridge (1877) that joined Louviers to the powder yards.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971. The house has since been demolished, and its site incorporated into the DuPont Country Club. However, the gate houses along Rockland Road and the iron bridge over the Brandywine remain.</p><br>
<p>Lower Louviers and Chicken Alley, also known as Louviers and Duck Street, is a historic home located near Wilmington in New Castle County, Delaware. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built in 1811 and is a two-story to three-story, five-bay, stuccoed stone dwelling. The three center bays project slightly from the main body of the home. In 1935, a kitchen wing was added to the other end of the residence, plus a gated wall and garage.</p><br>
<p>The home was owned by members of the prominent Du Pont family. At the back of the house is "Chicken Alley", an excellent example of a 19th-century workers&#39; row house.</p><br>

<p>The Gianella Bridge was a swing bridge that brought CA 32 across the Sacramento River at Hamilton City, California, between Glenn County and Butte County. It was built in 1908–1911 by Cotton Brothers & Co., Contractors. Also known as Sacramento River Bridge at Hamilton City, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. The bridge was documented by the Historic American Engineering Record  in 1984. It was demolished in 1987 but remains NRHP-listed.</p><br>
<p>While a bridge was desired by both counties, there was disagreement about the location. Glenn County favored the Hamilton City location to support Hamilton, in Glenn County, and the sugar beet industry; Butte County favored a location closer to Chico, in Butte County. The deadlock was broken by influence of Swiss-born Vincenzo Gianella, a Butte County large landowner and sugar beet farmer.</p><br>
<p>It was replaced by a concrete highway bridge and was removed in 1987.</p><br>
<p>Nonetheless, the swing bridge remains listed on the NRHP as of 2013.</p><br>
<p>Whittier Friends Meeting House  is a historic church building at the junction of County Roads E34 and X20 in Whittier, Iowa. It was built in 1893.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. It was deemed significant in the areas of religion and architecture. The National Register nomination noted:The building reflects the religious and architectural heritage of a small but locally significant religious group, the Conservative Wilburite Friends of Iowa. The building embodies their conception of right building, which maintained a predilection for unadorned simplicity. The meeting house meets the requirements of Criteria consideration A for significant religious properties. It is a tangible reflection of the broad patterns of Midwestern religious development. The Whittier Friends cemetery is immediately adjacent the meeting house and is included as a contributing element to the nomination.</p><br>
<p>The Twin Bridge near Brownlee, Nebraska is a steel stringer bridge with a timber roadbed that was built in 1900 by the Wrought Iron Bridge Co. of Canton, Ohio.

It features two-story polygonal bays topped with battlements, steep parapeted gables, decorative wrought iron work, and a slate roof. Also on the property are a contributing carriage house.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>Woodstock, also known as Banning Park, is a historic home located at Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware. The house was restored in 1929.</p><br>
<p>The "Woodstock" house stands at the highest point of the park. From this height can be seen the Delaware and Christina rivers and their surrounding marshes. The house is of brick, with a two-story east wing said to have been built in 1743, and a two-and-one half story west wing built-in 1833. The addition of porches (front, side, and rear) and a kitchen shed during the 1930s are the only modern changes. On the roof of the newer and taller wing is a "widow&#39;s walk" surrounded by a balustrade.</p><br>
<p>Two sheds attached to the eastern wing are old but cannot be dated. Granite hitching posts and a mounting block stand near the entrance. The inside of the building presents contrast between its 18th- and 19th-century sections. The older section has rough-finished walls and low ceiling. The newer section is more refined, indicating not only the passage of one hundred years, but also the increased fortunes of the owners. On the lower floor of the 1743 wing is located the kitchen/parlor of the original building. A winding staircase leads to the floor above, and there is a root cellar underneath. A Dutch oven with original hardware and wrought iron door can be found in the fireplace of this room. The hardware in both sections is original. On the westerly side of the main floor in the newer section can be found large nine-over-nine windows. These rooms are distinctive for their imported marble fireplaces and original wood trim and hardware. The larger section features a side-hall, double-pile plan. The classic stairwell and broad passageways add to the spacious feeling of the interior. The second floor also contains handsome fireplaces, but made with wooden mantels. The one-half story above the newer section also contains two rooms which are notable for their inside shutters. Behind a doorway in the hall is a stairway leading to the second attic and the "widow&#39;s walk."</p><br>
<p>Tradition states that one of Delaware&#39;s most famous ghosts still lives in "Woodstock," haunting on the full moon and leaving signs of his tragic death at the foot of the stairs.</p><br>
<p>156 acres of parkland comprise the present-day Banning Park. This is the last remaining intact plantation^ property along the Christina River. The land title can be traced back through records to approximately 1659, when the Swede Andries Andriessen settled on the north bank of the Christina.</p><br>
<p>The property changed hands several times until 1687 when John Richardson, a Quaker merchant from New Castle, purchased the property. Richardson planned to develop a milling community under the name of Middleburg, or Middleboro. It is believed that his son, John Richardson, II, lived on or near the property from about 1704. Richardson II, built a new and larger house further up on the hill at the present site of "Woodstock."</p><br>
<p>The exact date of this new house is not known; however, we do know he built an addition in 1743, as he referred to it in his will of 1752. This addition is thought to be the smaller east wing of the present building. The older section, built between 1704 and 1743 was torn down in 1833 when the present main house was built. John Richardson II, and his several brothers developed on the northern bank of the Christina a series of mills, farming properties, and warehouses and docks. John Richardson II, passed on the property to John Richardson IV, his grandson. Since John Richardson, IV, left no will, the property went to Ann, daughter of John II. She married Dr Henry Latimer in 1779. Dr. Latimer was an active participant in the Revolution and a central figure in early Delaware politics. The Latimers were often guests of Presidents Adams and Jefferson, and "Woodstock" was the center of society and influence along the Christina. The home and farm were passed on intact through the Latimer family to James Latimer Banning.</p><br>
<p>Previous to his acquiring the property, "Woodstock" had remained vacant for some time. In 1929 Mr. Banning and his wife, Jane E. Gray Banning, set about restoring it.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<p>The Woodstock house is currently occupied as part of a resident curator ship program run by New Castle County.</p><br>
<p>The Sarah Eliza Harris House, located at 375 E. 200 North in Beaver, Utah, is a historic house built up around an original adobe cabin from. The main part was built c. 1874; an east addition with an unusual bay window was built c. 1895 . It is significant because of its age, its use of adobe in its 16 in thick walls, and its generally unaltered condition since 1895.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>The Wheeler No. 1 Oil Well was the first well drilled in the Drumright-Cushing Oil Field of northeast Oklahoma, near Drumright. The success of the well, drilled in 1912 by Thomas Baker Slick, Sr., led to the development of the Cushing field and gave impetus to the early development of Oklahoma oilfields. The Drumright-Cushing field would go on to produce 310,000 barrels of oil a day at its peak in May 1917. The well made Slick&#39;s name as "King of the Wildcatters".</p><br>
<p>The well was financed by Charles B. Shaffer of Chicago, who hired Slick to drill wells at the Frank Wheeler farm using cable tool drilling techniques, which could not prevent gushers or blowouts. Three unsuccessful wells preceded the strike, which initially produced 400 barrels of high-grade oil a day from a depth of between 2,319 ft and 2,347 ft. Because no mechanism existed to control the flow, the oil was diverted into pits for collection and storage. The source of the oil was a sand zone in the Drumright Dome, a syncline. but eventually revealed the well&#39;s success in April 1912. A dugout built for the guards remains on the site, together with a commemorative plaque.</p><br>
<p>In time, the well&#39;s pressure subsided, requiring that the oil be pumped out of the well. The first pump was a two-cylinder gasoline-powered pump, later replaced by an electric drive. With the reduction in pressure the well was modified for secondary recovery, using an early form of hydraulic fracturing called "sand fracturing." As of 1980 it produced about a barrel a day, pumping four hours a day. Oil came from three layers: the Layton layer at 170 ft, the Wheeler layer at 2,300 ft, and the Bartlesville layer at 2,700 ft. A 2 in pipeline connects the well to an oil-water separating unit about 2,500 ft away, then to storage tanks. The well is located in a small clearing about 1,000 ft west of Drumright. The well was still producing in 2012.</p><br>
<p>The Wheeler No. 1 well was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 14, 1983.</p><br>
<p>The Jackson Barnett No. 11 Oil Well was the most productive oil well in the Cushing Oil Field of northeastern Oklahoma, USA, to the south of Drumright. The well was drilled in 1916 in the Shamrock Dome section of the Cushing field by the Gypsy Oil Company, striking oil on February 17. The well was on the land of Jackson Barnett, a Creek landowner who subsequently became known as the "world&#39;s richest Indian".</p><br>
<p>Barnett owned 160 acre in trust Creek County, which began producing oil in 1912. Jacksons 12.5 percent royalty on the oil from his land earned him between $3 million and $4 million during his lifetime, but he only received a few hundred dollars per year at first. Until 1920, his fortune was managed as a trust by Creek County courts and the Department of the Interior, on the pretext that Jackson was illiterate and legally incompetent due to a head injury. Barnetts money became the subject of extensive litigation and eventual Congressional hearings. In 1920, he was pursued by Anna Laura Lowe, whom he married after one meeting. When a court gave part of the trust&#39;s money to Anna to administer, the couple moved to Los Angeles and bought a mansion.</p><br>
<p>The well was drilled into the Tucker sand layer at a depth between 2,800 ft and 3,000 ft. Production on the well&#39;s first day was 4,000 barrels, rising to 10,000 barrels a day and peaking at 18,000 barrels per day. Average production was 10,000 barrels a day for most of its life. It was the first well in the Cushing field to produce 1 million barrels of oil and established the Oklahoma record for production from a single well. The well was capped in the mid-1960s. The site includes concrete foundations, the capped well casing, and a sign. In 1980, eight neighboring wells continued to produce oil.</p><br>
<p>The Jackson Barnett well was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 27, 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Packard Library is a historic library building located at 301 4th St. in Marysville, California. The library operated until 1977, when it was replaced by the new Yuba County Library. The library was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 18, 1978.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>Founded in 1855 as the "Marysville Library". Marysville, recently found in 1851, was very much a frontier-town, and was called the "Gateway to the Gold Fields." In 1855, the Young Mens Literary and Scientific Association founded a library to gather reading materials and maintain them in a reading room where members of the association could use them. Initially, the librarys collection was stocked with donations from the private collections of the association members. The first purchases made were made in New York and transported by sea.</p><br>
<p>In December 1858, the association donated its collection to the city of Marysville and a room in the city hall was converted into a library. Three years later, the collection moved to the newly built Masonic Hall, only to move back to the city hall tens years later.</p><br>
<p>In 1900, in response to the need for a larger space, Maryville pioneer and mining magnate donated land at Fourth and C Streets and $70,000 to erect a new building. In the 1850s, Packard had been a charter member of the library. He hired San Francisco architect William Curlett as architect for what eventually became known as the Italianate and Beaux-Arts style Packard Library. The building was completed in March 1906 and opened to the public in October of that same year. There was a smoking room on the ground floor; the main reading room with the librarys collection, administrative and work areas, and a childrens area were on the first floor. The third floor held an auditorium. Overlooking the first floor was a mezzanine which was the location of the "Poppy Room". The three-story building features verandahs on the east and west sides. The verandahs are supported by rectangular columns, and their roof lines are decorated with acanthus leaves.</p><br>
<p>The "Poppy Room" was used to house historic items (i.e. pioneer relics, photographs, diaries and manuscripts) of value to Yuba County. These items were transferred to the new Mary Aaron Museum in 1955. After some deliberation it was determined that the needs of the community, and for cost reasons, it would be better to build a new building. This new building would be located at Second and C Streets. It opened in 1977 and is currently the one branch of the county library service.</p><br>
<p>Walkers Mill and Walkers Bank, also known as Simsville, Siddalls Mill, and "Big White Mill", is a historic spinning cotton mill and workers dwelling block located near Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware. Walker&#39;s Mill was built between 1813 and 1815, and is a -story, T-shaped, stone building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>It measures approximately 100 feet by 225 feet and features a tower topped by a cupola. Walkers Bank is a two- to three-story rectangular stone building built in 1813 and consisting of four workers homes. It measures 44 feet by 75 feet and each long side features a porch divided among the four units.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<p>The Ashford family bought Walkers Mill and Walkers Bank in 2002. They renovated Walkers Mill into an office for their building, but did not find a use for Walkers Bank, which has limited parking and is under deed restrictions. It decayed to the point of near-collapse, and they applied for a demolition permit for it in 2018. After a nine-month delay for review by the New Castle County historic review board, the permit was granted late in the year.</p><br>
<p>Brandywine Manufacturers Sunday School, also known as Sunday School and Hagley Office, is a historic Sunday school building located near Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware. It was built in 1817, and is a one-story, rectangular stone building. It measures 31 feet by 65 feet and features an Ionic order columned portico and school bell tower. Also on the property is a contributing spring house. It was built for workers, old and young, to learn the basics of reading, writing, and "ciphering," and remained in use as a school until 1851. From 1902 to 1921, it was the Hagley Yard office of the E. I. du Pont de Nemours Company. It was then converted to a private dwelling.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<p>Charles B. Lore Elementary School is a historic elementary school building located at Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware. It was built in 1932, and is a -story, E-shaped red brick building in the Collegiate Gothic style. It features a four-story central tower, steep pitched, slate gable roof, stone surrounds on windows and doors, and battlements above entryways. The school was named for Charles B. Lore . It was closed in 1981 because of declining enrollment. Prior to its closure, it was a part of the Red Clay School District. It was later converted to an assisted living facility.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>The Goodman Library is a historic library located at 1219 1st St. in Napa, California. Built in 1901, the library was paid for by George E. Goodman and built on land donated by Goodman. Architect Luther M. Turton designed the building in the Richardson Romanesque style, which can be seen in its use of rusticated stone, round arch windows, and massive scale. The design represented a shift in Napa architecture, which was mainly Victorian prior to the library&#39;s construction.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Goodman Library is the longest-operating library in California, partially due to a clause in Goodmans donation of the building. Goodman stipulated that the building would remain in the citys possession as long as it served as a library but would otherwise revert to his heirs.</p><br>
<p>When Napa moved its city library to a different building in the 1970s, the Napa County Historical Society acquired the building for its research library so it would still satisfy its original purpose. At one time, the library housed both the historical society and Napa County Landmarks.</p><br>
<p>The library was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 21, 1974.</p><br>
<p>The building was damaged by the 2014 South Napa earthquake. A $1.75M contract to repair damage to the building including bracing and a new roof was awarded in January 2017. The work began in April 2017 and was completed in early 2018. The Napa County Historical Society reopened their operations by summer 2018 and maintain library services and an exhibit space to this day.</p><br>
<p>The Sam Kee Laundry Building, also known as the Pfeiffer Building, is a historic building located at 1245 Main St. in Napa, California. Built in 1875, the building is the oldest stone building and commercial building in Napa. The building has a generally simple design topped by a decorative Italianate cornice. As of 1880, the building was part of a brewery, which may have been the first brewery in Napa; it has since housed a boarding house, a saloon, and a laundry. The building currently houses the Vintner&#39;s Collective, a wine tasting bar.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 1, 1974.</p><br>
<p>The building was damaged by the 2014 South Napa earthquake. It was reopened in January 2015, and as of August 2015 continued to undergo restoration of its exterior.</p><br>
<p>The Pope Street Bridge is a stone bridge carrying Pope Street over the Napa River in St. Helena, California. Built by R. H. Pithie in 1894, the bridge is the oldest stone bridge in Napa County. The triple arch bridge is 175 ft long and 18 ft wide and cost $14,500 to build. The stone used to build the bridge came from a local quarry on Monticello Road near Mount George Grade. The bridge was designed for horse-drawn vehicles but has withstood automobile traffic; it also survived the 1906 San Francisco earthquake without damage.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 5, 1972.</p><br>
<p>The Lincoln Branch Library is a former Carnegie library building in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Duluth, Minnesota, United States. It was constructed from 1915 to 1917 as the first permanent home of a Duluth Public Library branch first established in 1892. The Lincoln Branch Library was built of brick and limestone in the Late Gothic Revival style. It was the last of the three Carnegie libraries built in Duluth.</p><br>
<p>Library services moved to a new facility in 1990.</p><br>
<p>In 2013 the Lincoln Branch Library building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its local significance in the theme of social history. It was nominated for reflecting the evolving emphasis of the Carnegie Foundation and Duluth Public Library on branch libraries and on providing services in working-class neighborhoods.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Lincoln Branch Library is a rectangular, single-story building in Late Gothic Revival style. The original structure measures 69 by, with a 32 by addition. The exterior facade is brown and dark red brickwork, arranged in Flemish bond, contrasted with limestone trim.</p><br>
<p>The southeast face of the building is symmetrical and features the library&#39;s main entrance. Leading to the entrance is a concrete stairway with a brick and limestone railing on each side. The entrance consists of a pair of wooden, glass-paned doors framed by limestone. The line of the eaves is interrupted by a pediment carved with an acanthus leaf design. In the middle of the pediment a shield motif bears the initials "DPL", standing for Duluth Public Library. Immediately above the doorway is carved "Lincoln Branch Library". The entrance is flanked by original, square lanterns. The ground level features two series of five 10/15 double-hung windows. The first level has two bands of seven windows flanking the entrance just below the eave. The ground and first floor are separated by a beveled limestone belt course, above which are symmetrically arranged carved stone shields. The stairway was rebuilt in 1996 using the original limestone.</p><br>
<p>The southwest façade features a large gable end with a three-tiered Gothic window framed in limestone. The window is flanked by two stone shields, and above it is a limestone band near the gables peak in the shape of an "ɪ". The ground level 10/15 windows continue, along with the belt course separating the first and ground levels. There is a ground-level entrance to the west under a flat roof portion, consisting of a pair of wooden doors with arched glass panels. The entrance is topped by a pediment inscribed with "Club Room". A set of steps leads to the entrance, flanked by brick and limestone railings. The entrance sits on a two-story, pentagonal bay with windows wrapping around it on the first level. At the window head is another limestone course which wraps around the buildings west side.</p><br>
<p>Along the northwest face is where the garage addition was built, obstructing the original façade. According to original blueprints, the addition forced the removal of windows and possibly an entrance. At ground level, four window openings appear to have been bricked over. There are two rows of three windows on the first level on the exposed area of the northwest gable end. Near the peak of the gable are three narrow, vertical windows.</p><br>
<p>The northeast face is similar to the southwest; the gable has the same window, stone shields, and I-shaped band. The belt course continues around the facade, and six 10/15 windows are arrayed at ground level. At the building&#39;s north corner is a rectangular brick chimney, capped by stone with a quoin at each corner. The corner also features five windows with a limestone course at the window head.</p><br>
<p>The building has undergone a number of renovations over its life, but most were performed to comply with building codes and did not significantly impact the library&#39;s historic integrity.</p><br>
<p>The property is minimally landscaped. A large conifer stands at the southern corner of the building, and there is a deciduous tree east of the main entrance. There is garden space next to the building along the southeast and southwest facades. The building is surrounded by a cultivated lawn.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1891, a committee of neighborhood citizens met with the Duluth Library Board to establish a library in Duluth&#39;s West End (known as Lincoln Park since 1996). The West End Branch Library, as it was initially called, opened in 1892 in a room of the Irwin–Sloan Block. It operated until the Panic of 1893 and funding cuts forced its closure. It reopened in 1895, but again faced closure in 1896. A Duluth resident made a gift to the library which helped for a time, but the library again closed around the end of 1900. The library opened again in January 1908 and, over the next several years, shifted among a number of locations but remained in operation.</p><br>
<p>An appropriation of $4,300 was made in April 1915 to purchase two lots in the West End, which were acquired in May. A request for $30,000 for a permanent library was made of and subsequently granted by Andrew Carnegie. Abraham Holstead and William J. Sullivan were chosen as the architects and Joseph Hanson served as contractor. Designs and blueprints for the library were completed by April 1916. The library was named for its proximity to Lincoln Park, located in the West End. Construction lasted through 1917. The library held its grand opening on August 30, 1917, with 500 people in attendance for a gala ceremony. The library publicly opened on September 1. The Lincoln Branch Library was the third and last Carnegie library built in Duluth, following the 1902 Duluth Public Library and the West Duluth Branch Library.</p><br>
<p>In 1966, a garage was built on the library&#39;s northeast face to house two bookmobiles. The building operated as a library until October 1990, when a new library assumed service for western Duluth. The building was bought by the Duluth Art Institute in November 1992. According to the institute, it was purchased to acquire more space and to "reach under-served communities." In 1997, the garage addition was renovated, including the replacement of the garage doors with windows.</p><br>
<p>The Riverdale–Spuyten Duyvil–Kingsbridge Memorial Bell Tower or Riverdale Monument is a memorial tower in Bell Tower Park located in the Riverdale section of the Bronx. It was completed on September 17, 1930 to commemorate World War I veterans from the neighborhoods of Riverdale, Spuyten Duyvil, and Kingsbridge. The plaque attached to the memorial lists the names of those Riverdale, Spuyten Duyvil, and Kingsbridge residence who served in World War I. In 1936, it was moved 700 feet south to make room for the Henry Hudson Parkway which it now stands next to. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 3, 2012.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The 50 ft tall and 17.5 ft wide monument is located on West 239th street between Riverdale Avenue and the Henry Hudson Parkway. It was designed by Dwight James Baum for the Riverdale American Legion Post and built by John Zambetti, Inc. It is made of fieldstone and Indiana limestone and is estimated to weigh 500 tons. In the tower is a 1762 Spanish bell which had been made for a Mexican monastery. General Winfield Scott captured this bell during the Mexican War and brought it back to New York City where it resided in the Jefferson Market and a Riverdale firehouse before it was installed in the newly constructed tower.</p><br>
<p>The Admiral David Glasgow Farragut Gravesite is the final resting place of David Glasgow Farragut , the first rear admiral, vice admiral, and four-star admiral of the United States Navy. He was most well known for his order to "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead." The granite and marble monument resembling a mast marks not only his burial site, but that of his wife, son and daughter-in-law. It was listed as a National Historic Landmark on the National Register of Historic Places on October 16, 2012. It is located in Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx, itself a National Historic Landmark. It is the only surviving place of high quality with a direct association to Farragut&#39;s life.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Farragut grave site is located in Woodlawn Cemeterys northeastern Aurora Hill section.

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Although oral history suggests that Edmund G. Lind of Baltimore was the architect of record, numerous newspaper reports from 1863 suggest that the architect was actually Thomas Dixon, who also practiced in Baltimore. Dixon was architect of the Wilmington Grand Opera House built several years later.</p><br>
<p>The March 13, 1863 issue of The Daily Gazette, as well as the March 10, 1863 issue of The Delaware State Journal and the March 12, 1863 issue of The Delaware Republican ran the following news article: "Improvement. H.F. Dure has contracted with John Merrick, Esq., to erect a beautiful mansion for him, on his lot located on Market street, between Eleventh and Twelfth streets, for about $21,000. This house when finished, will be one of the most convenient and substantial residences in this city. It will have all of the modern improvements, and will be built in the best style. Mr. Thomas Dixon, formerly of this city, now of Baltimore, is the Architect. Perkins & Weldie, have contracted with Mr. Dure to do the Brick work: Murdick & Duff the Painting, and Robert Haddock the Plastering. The lot has been staked out and the digging of the cellars will be commenced immediately. The mansion is to be completed by the 25th of December next."</p><br>

<p>The Oklahoma City Discovery Well was the first successful oil well to be drilled in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The December 4, 1928 discovery opened the Oklahoma City Oil Field to extensive exploitation, creating an oil boom that sustained the area through the Great Depression. Because much of the oil was under the existing city, the Oklahoma City field pioneered the use of directional drilling to allow lateral displacement of well bores to reach deposits under developed areas.</p><br>
<p>The well is located at the present-day intersection of SE 59th Street and Bryant Boulevard. It was drilled by the Indian Territory Illuminating Oil Company (ITIO). Beginning on June 12, 1928, the drilling crew drilled more than 6,000 ft. In early December they broke through the Arbuckle Limestone layer, noting that the bottom of the formation was saturated with oil and was under gas pressure. Since they were drilling with a cable tool rig, the flow of gas and oil could not be controlled, and on December 4 the gas blew the tools out of the well. The well produced 110,000 barrels of oil during its first 27 days. However, the well began to produce water by the end of 1928 and was abandoned.</p><br>
<p>The discovery well was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 9, 1977. The present site preserves the concrete drilling derrick foundations and the capped well head.</p><br>
<p>Nellie Johnstone No. 1 was the first commercially productive oil well in Oklahoma . Completed on April 15, 1897, the well was drilled in the Bartlesville Sand near Bartlesville, opening an era of oil exploration and development in Oklahoma. It was abandoned as a well in 1964. The site was donated to the city of Bartlesville and is now a park, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, featuring a restored drilling rig.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>The well was backed by George B. Keeler and William Johnstone, Keeler had been adopted into the Osage Nation and Johnstone had been adopted into the Delaware Nation after marrying Native American women. Keeler and Johnstone left Bartles to open their own store near the Osage Indian Agency on the Caney River, and was named for Johnstone&#39;s daughter. Keeler and Johnstone, together with partner Frank Overlees and their Native American wives, leased 200,000 acres from the Cherokee Nation on an area of oil seep and engaged the Cudahy Oil Company to finance the actual drilling operation.</p><br>
<h2>Organizing and drilling</h2><br>
<p>The firm of McBride and Bloom, headquartered in Independence, Kansas, had already been drilling in the Red Fork field. The original drilling rig had been used at a dry hole near Sapulpa. It took two weeks to move it by oxcart 70 miles overland to the Bartlesville site.</p><br>
<p>The well went to 1,320 ft, and was completed using a then-usual technique of placing a "torpedo" (containing a liquid nitroglycerine charge) into the well to fracture the bore and release the oil. Keeler&#39;s stepdaughter, Jennie Cass, dropped the "go devil" charge, causing the explosive to detonate on impact, in front of fifty spectators. The ensuing gusher produced between 50 and 75 barrels a day, and had to be capped for two years until means could be found to move the oil to a more distant market.</p><br>
<p>According to Kenny Franks&#39; article in the Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History & Culture, the Nellie Johnstone well had not been properly sealed before it was capped. Oil continued seeping into the sump while the well was blocked, eventually overflowing into the nearby Caney River. During the unusually cold winter that followed, a group of children ice skating on the frozen river, built a bonfire to keep themselves warm. Somehow the fire spread close to the oil seep, igniting it. The fire then spread to the Nellie Johnstone, causing major damage to the facility.</p><br>
<p>The well was uncapped in 1900, after the Kansas, Oklahoma Central and Southwestern Railway, later acquired by Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, came to Bartlesville, stimulating the development of the Bartlesville field by offering to transport crude to market in Neodesha, Kansas. Nellie Johnstone Cannon, who was six years old at the time the well was drilled and named for her, was granted the land on which the well was drilled by allotment through her Native American ancestry. She sold the land to Bartlesville in 1917. The area is now Johnstone Park.</p><br>
<h2>Creation of Johnstone Park</h2><br>
<p>A replica drilling rig was built over the well in 1948, while the rig was still producing. After the Johnstone No. 1 well was abandoned in 1963, and interest in maintaining the site as a historical monument had begun to grow, the rig scene was reconstructed, using redwood timbers for the derrick. The derrick was rebuilt in 2008.</p><br>
<p>The well site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>

It is named after then-sitting Nebraska governor Charles W. Bryan.</p><br>
<p>According to its NRHP nomination, it is significant "in the area of structural engineering on a state level as an excellent and well-preserved example of a pin-connected cantilever arch bridge. It is the only one of its kind in Nebraska." The NRHP nominator interviewed its designer, Josef Sorkin of the state&#39;s Division of Bridge Design, on why he chose this type of design, and reported that he replied "aesthetics, it blended into the surroundings and it was also an economical design for the site." Cantilever arch structures, which have been infrequently used nationwide, were constructed in the mid 1920s to mid 1930s. The cantilever type of truss bridge permitted longer spans and was typically used for spanning major rivers."</p><br>
<p>National Register designation was given in 1988. It is also designated as NeHBS #CE00-28. In 1995, the bridge was designated as a State Historic Civil Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers.</p><br>
