<p>Spring Hill is a historic home located at Ivy, Albemarle County, Virginia, USA. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The main house dates to about 1785, and is a two-story, brick dwelling expanded in the 1870s and 1930s. The oldest building on the property is the brick field slave quarters, built about 1765, and once served as the main house. Also on the property are a brick dairy and kitchen. The house is representative of the evolution and integration of academic and vernacular architectural styles covering over two centuries of Albemarle County settlement.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Spring Hill property was part of a tract of land owned in 1735 by Charles Hudson, and sold two years later to Michael Woods (1737–1748). Woods lived further west at the foot of Woods&#39; Gap (now Jarman Gap), the site may have been lived by his son-in-law Andrew Wallace, when it was sold in 1748 with 400 acre by Woods.</p><br>
<p>Spring Hill was also the childhood home of noted architect Waddy Butler Wood (1869–1944), and his sister, visual artist Virginia Hargraves Wood (1872–1941).</p><br>
<p>Monaghan Mill, now the Lofts of Greenville, is a former textile mill  in Greenville, South Carolina, that in the early 21st century was converted into loft apartments. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Founding</h2><br>
<p>Monaghan Mill was founded by Lewis Wardlaw Parker (1865-1916) and his cousin, Thomas Fleming Parker (1860-1926). Lewis Parker was born in Abbeville, South Carolina, and graduated from the College of South Carolina in 1885, and from its law school two years later. After teaching in Columbia, he practiced law in Greenville and there became president of the Bank of Greer. Thomas Fleming Parker was born in Charleston and attended the College of Charleston before moving to Greenville, where his father held shares in a group of cotton mills.</p><br>
<p>Because the Bank of Greer was the receiver for the Victor Manufacturing Company, in 1897, Lewis Parker reorganized it as well as the Whaley Mills of Columbia. In February 1900, Parker and his cousin Thomas organized Monaghan Mill and named it for County Monaghan, the birthplace of their grandfather Thomas Fleming. The Rhode Island firm of Lockwood, Greene & Co. built the mill, which opened in 1902 on 325 acres on the west side of Greenville near the Reedy River. The mill was capitalized at $450,000 and had 35,000 spindles.</p><br>
<p>Monaghan was successful from the beginning, producing "print cloths, fancy dress goods and shirtings," and "shade cloth." By 1907, Monaghan had increased its spindles to 60,000 and the capital in stock alone had increased to $700,000. The surge in textile manufacturing drew workers from other states and Europe to Greenville. For instance, Monaghan employed fifty Belgian immigrants, who lived at one of the mill&#39;s boarding houses.</p><br>
<p>In 1911, the Parker cousins merged the Victor and Whaley Mills, which they already owned, with the Olympia, Richland, Granby, and Capital City Mills of Columbia, and the Appalache Mills of Greer, to form the Parker Cotton Mills Company, which was capitalized at $15 million and operated over a million spindles, more than any other contemporary USA textile firm. The company collapsed in 1914 because of a lack of capital during a cotton panic that occurred at the outbreak of World War I. Lewis resigned the presidency of the company and practiced law until his death from cancer in 1916. Thomas eventually retired. The first successful cotton mill merger did not occur for another twenty years. In 1917, the former Parker mills were reorganized into the Victor-Monaghan Group, and were sold in 1946 to J. P. Stevens and Company.</p><br>
<h2>Mill village</h2><br>
<p>As president of Monaghan, Thomas Parker strove to make the mill a model of paternalistic management. Parker provided a community medical clinic and hired one of the best doctors in the area, as well as a nurse, to staff it. Parker also provided an elementary school, a playground, and a YMCA. The YMCA building alone cost $18,000 (easily ten times that much a century later) and was the first located in a southern mill town. As a director of the YMCA, Parker hired an unusually gifted young man, Lawrence Peter "Pete" Hollis, who eventually became a nationally recognized educator.</p><br>
<p>As early as 1904 Monaghan had its own baseball team; and in 1907, Monaghan joined the newly formed Greenville Cotton Mill Base Ball League. The Monaghan team provided both recreation and entertainment for workers, and the sense of pride that accompanied identification with a successful sports team increased worker loyalty.</p><br>
<p>As was typical in the southern textile industry, the Monaghan Mill and its mill village were largely self-sufficient. The mill had its own well, generated its own electricity, and had its own waste disposal collection. The company store sold most goods workers required. There was even a mill church, shared by Baptists and Methodists until those denominations built their own buildings. During the 1920s and &#39;30s, mill president Thomas Marchant continued the paternalistic management of his predecessors, loaning money to mill workers for causes he deemed worthy and sponsoring social activities such as picnics and festivities on holidays like the Fourth of July.</p><br>
<p>Monaghan built two kindergartens and an elementary school. Because Greenville High School was overcrowded, charged tuition, and provided no transportation, mill executives lobbied for the creation of a new school district and offered to pay for the school themselves. Despite opposition and a suit that took the issue to the South Carolina Supreme Court, the Parker School District was created by the South Carolina legislature, and Parker High School opened in 1923. Pete Hollis organized the new district and became superintendent.</p><br>
<h2>Depression, boom, and decline</h2><br>
<p>During the Depression demand for textiles fell, and mills lowered wages and laid off workers. During the early 1930s, workers were able to work only three days every two weeks. The Roosevelt Administration hoped to institute a forty-hour week, but Marchant lobbied against the idea, traveling to Washington on multiple occasions to argue that Monaghan would "go plum broke on forty hours a week." Instead, management instituted what textiles workers called the "stretch-out," attempts to increase productivity by having employees work longer and more intensively for no additional pay. Nevertheless, Monaghan Mill continued to operate normally during the national textile workers strike of 1934 after union organizers found the mill gates locked and a troop of National Guardsmen stationed at the gate.</p><br>
<p>World War II brought increased demand, and Monaghan Mill produced cloth for uniforms. Nevertheless, following the war, its new owner, J. P. Stevens and Co. sold mill village houses as too expensive to maintain. Monaghan School burned down in 1954 and the YMCA was torn down in the late 1960s. Other facilities were closed, remodeled, or eliminated, such as the swimming pool and the baseball diamond.</p><br>
<p>Federal government intervention, combined with a growing shortage of white labor, helped desegregate the mills during the 1960s. Nevertheless, African-Americans faced resentment and often had difficulty gaining promotions. Many turned to lawsuits and political activism, including multiple actions against J. P. Stevens, challenging its hiring and promotion policies.</p><br>
<p>An increasingly global market that included cheaper foreign labor made American textile mills increasingly unprofitable. The former Monaghan mill village became more run down as workers left the area; some houses were left vacant and unkempt. In 1983, the Greenville County Redevelopment Authority began renovations, eventually repairing 134 homes, repaving numerous roads, and redeveloping the old Monaghan School site as the Parker Daycare Center.</p><br>
<h2>Conversion to loft apartments</h2><br>
<p>In 1988, Monaghan was sold to JPS Converter and Industrial Group, which operated the mill until its closing in 2001. In 2003, Capitol Development Corporation attempted to have the mill re-zoned for use as an apartment complex, but the Greenville County Council denied the request because of insufficient planning and concern about the flammability of the building. Another development company, Monaghan Mills LLC, purchased the property a year later with similar plans. This time rezoning was approved, and in 2004, the South Carolina legislature passed the Textile Communities Revitalization Act, which added an additional 25% tax credit to the 30-39% credit for buildings listed on the National Register. The $15 million Monaghan development received $10.2 million in tax credits.</p><br>
<p>The building reopened in October 2006 as The Lofts of Greenville, featuring 190 new, one-to-three bedroom apartment units reflecting the original industrial design of the mill through the "open floor plans, soaring... ceilings, exposed brick walls and pine beams, stained concrete and wood floors, arched windows, and exposed duct work." The facilities also included a fitness center, theater, pool, community garden, stocked ponds, fenced dog park, fire pits and charcoal grills, as well as hiking trails connected to the Swamp Rabbit Trail.</p><br>
<p>In October 2005, Monaghan Mill was added to the National Register of Historic Places as an industrial site with an architectural style described as Early Twentieth Century Revival. The property included the former mill, seventeen acres, and the original smokestack, water tower, and pond.</p><br>
<p>Photographs of the mill, village, and community can be accessed in the Greenville County Library System digital collections.</p><br>
<p>Woodstock Hall Tavern, also known as the Woods-Tavern, Woodstock Hall, and Hilandale, is a historic tavern located at Ivy, Albemarle County, Virginia. It was built in 1757, and enlarged by the addition of a front wing in 1808. It consists of the original two-story, frame hall-parlor dwelling, with the addition of the temple-front, Federal-style wing. It is one of Albemarle County&#39;s oldest extant structures.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<p>Redstone Castle or Crawford House is a historic building in Manitou Springs, located within the Manitou Springs Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>Overview</h2><br>
<p>It is located on 75 acre off of Pawnee Avenue and Iron Mountain Road. The large Queen Anne house is made of red sandstone. It was once a bed and breakfast, but is now privately owned.</p><br>
<h2>Dr. Isaac Davis</h2><br>
<p>Dr. Isaac Davis, an English physician, moved to Manitou Springs in 1874 and was one of the citys founders. He and his family homesteaded the land that Redstone Castle sits on. The father of 15 owned several businesses in town including a shoe store on Canon Avenue and a pharmacy. His health declined significantly after the Stringler trial of the death of a woman from a morphine overdose. The womans husband accused the doctor, and he was exonerated. His health continued to decline and as a result he sold his homestead in 1880 or 1881 to two brothers named Davis, but unrelated to the doctor. The purchase agreement included the words: "Buyer Beware" and carried a stipulation that the graves of "early trappers, pioneers, soldiers and vagabonds" were to be moved to the new Crystal Valley Cemetery.</p><br>
<h2>Davis brothers</h2><br>
<p>The Davis brothers built Redstone Castle in 1890 as a model home for an elite development called Manitou Terrace Estates on Iron Mountain. They published ads to attract the wealthy and established colorful billboards in the east of Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak and Rainbow Falls. None of the lots sold, however, reputedly because buyers learned that the land was haunted. Some believed this was because some, but not all, of the graves had been moved from the hillside to the Crystal Valley Cemetery.</p><br>
<h2>Hawkins family</h2><br>
<p>The castle was vacant for years. Balem Hawkins was hired as caretaker of the estate and moved in with his family. The family began hearing voices and seeing apparitions. Their dog "became nervous and high-strung". Hawkins shot a crazed dog that had attacked his wife. According to legend, the dog reappeared and the family heard a dog howling and scratching at the doors in the night. They moved out the next morning.</p><br>
<h2>Local legend</h2><br>
<p>It is believed by some local residents that Redstone Castle is haunted by Alice Crawford Snow who was an actress, medium and spiritualist. In 1905 Crawford women, including Madame Crawford and Alice Crawford Snow, began leasing Redstone Castle for the summers and conducting seances. Madame Crawford was claimed to have made contact with her daughter Emma Crawford, of the local annual coffin races; Emma&#39;s coffin reputedly slid down Red Mountain after a rain. "In honor of their benevolent specter, Manitou Springs holds annual Coffin Races and a wake for Emma."</p><br>
<p>In 1910 Alice rented the home on her own to prepare for a role as Lady Macbeth in Denver. She dressed in costume and required others to call her Lady Macbeth. As her behavior became increasingly odd, visitors stopped coming to the home and merchants had a hard time finding delivery boys to bring supplies to her. While she lived at the castle, a friend rescued her during a suicide attempt where she had been shooting at ghosts and shot herself; Attempting to set another ghost on fire, she set fire to her bed clothes. Alice was treated at St. Francis Hospital in Colorado Springs. She left Manitou Springs "a bitter and despondent woman". Many believe her spirit lives on in the castle.</p><br>
<p>Pearces Mill is a former mill site east of Hamilton in Marion County, Alabama. The mill was founded along the Buttahatchee River in the 1840s, before being abandoned during the Civil War. James P. Pearce returned to the mill in 1865 and developed it into an economic center in the region. At its height in the 1870s, the complex hosted a general store with a post office, a gristmill, sawmill, flour mill, and cotton gin, in addition to the family house. Pearces mule teams carried the mills&#39; production to market in Tuscumbia. as improved roads and railroads drove commerce to Hamilton and other nearby towns, the store closed in 1930, and the mills ceased operation in 1959.</p><br>
<p>The mills were demolished in 1970 for safety reasons, however the dam and portions of the gristmill remain. The family home, built in 1878, was initially a two-room dogtrot structure. Rooms were added in the early 1900s and in 1916, a second floor was constructed. Stone fireplaces were added in the 1930s by the Works Progress Administration. Other remaining structures on the site include the two-story Victorian general store, built in the early 1870s; a tenant farmers&#39; house; a former blacksmith shop; a barn; a shed; the family cemetery; and an abandoned bridge.</p><br>
<p>The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<h2>Demographics</h2><br>
<p>Pearce&#39;s Mills appeared on the 1880 USA Census as an unincorporated community (village) of 70 residents. This was the only time it appeared on census rolls.</p><br>
<p>The Glenford Bank is a historic bank in the small village of Glenford, Ohio, United States. Built in the early twentieth century, the building has served as a core component of village life for much of its history, and it has been named a historic site because of its distinctive architecture.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Glenford was founded early in the nineteenth century, but for much of its early history it was a small crossroads, consisting of an unplatted small mill town at a spot where Jonathans Creek could be forded. It was not until the railroads ran through it that it began to grow. By the 1910s, the village had grown to the point that some thought a bank could take its place in the community; the bank was incorporated in 1916, In later years, it served as a fire station for a time; by the 1960s, it was being used as a community center, and the walls of the main meeting room had been painted to depict scenes from the communitys history. In 1987, the owners began to restore the building; performed under the leadership of Central Ohio Technical College professor Whitney Tussing, who operated a historic preservation-oriented architecture practice in Glenford, the project saw the building turned into a residence. In later years, Tussings work at the bank building attracted coverage with a program airing on HGTV, and Tussing himself has spoken of the bank-to-house project as one of his leading projects.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Built of brick on a brick foundation, the bank is covered by a slate roof and features various elements of stone; a single-story rectangular building, its stretcher-bond walls are divided into two bays on some sides and three bays on the others. The main entrance is located in a recessed entryway at one of the corners; concrete steps provide access to the entrance, which features a rounded archway above to its panelled ceiling. A subsidiary entrance is located nearby on the southern side; it features a wooden cornice with Neoclassical ornamental urns, which together separate the transom from the fanlight. The building&#39;s exceptional Neoclassical styling is reinforced by the interior, which includes carefully worked oak wood.</p><br>
<h2>Historic designation</h2><br>
<p>In early 1990, three years after Whitney Tussing&#39;s restoration project began, the Glenford Bank was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It qualified for inclusion on the National Register because of its distinctive architecture; the bank is a rare example of Neoclassical styling on a small-town bank from the early twentieth century. One of thirteen National Register-listed locations in Perry County, it is one of two in the Glenford area; the other is the Glenford Fort, a large Hopewellian ceremonial enclosure constructed atop a nearby ridgeline.</p><br>
<p>Judson Moss Bemis House, also known as Hearthstone Inn, is a historic Queen Anne house in Colorado Springs, Colorado. It is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Judson Moss Bemis family</h2><br>
<p>Judson Moss Bemis and his wife, Alice Cogswell Bemis, moved to Colorado Springs in 1881 for her health. She may have had tuberculosis. (See Tuberculosis treatment in Colorado Springs).</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1885 and became the permanent home of Alice Bemis and their daughter, Alice; Judson Moss Bemis lived in the home several months a year and conducted business and lived the rest of the year in Boston. He was the founder of J. M. Bemis Company.</p><br>
<p>In Colorado Springs, Bemis founded the Business Administration and Banking School, was a trustee of Colorado College and donated monies for the Jackson and Bemis Halls. Alice Cogswell Bemis founded the Day Care Center in 1897. The couples daughter, Alice Bemis Taylor, donated monies to Colorado College, helped fund the construction of the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center and the Colorado Springs Day Nursery, and provided scholarships. She was the first woman trustee of Colorado College, founded the Bemis-Taylor Child Guidance Clinic, and in 2010 was inducted into the Colorado Womens Hall of Fame.</p><br>
<h2>The house</h2><br>
<p>The Bemis House, designed by W. F. Ellis, is a blend of architectural styles, including Queen Anne, Colonial Revival and Stick architectural styles. The three-story home originally had 10 rooms and a partial basement, and received additions in 1886 and 1887. In 1935, the home was converted into an apartment house with 10 apartments based upon designs by architects MacLaren and Thomas.</p><br>
<h2>Hearthstone Inn</h2><br>
<p>Dot Williams and Ruth Williams purchased the Bemis House and the neighboring historic home to create Hearthstone Inn. The second house was built in 1900. For a period of time it was a boarding house for individuals with tuberculosis. The buildings were restored and renovated as an inn with a restaurant and 25 rooms. The architects for the project were Al Feinstein of Colorado Springs and William Odum of Dallas. The inn and its antiques were purchased by David and Nancy Oxenhandler in 1999 for $1,925,000. In 2005 it was sold to Griffis/ Blessing Investment Services.</p><br>
<p>The Miami County Courthouse, located east of the junction of Miami and Silver Streets in Paola, is the seat of government of Miami County, Kansas. The courthouse was built from 1898 to 1899 and has housed the countys government ever since. Architect George P. Washburn designed the courthouse; its design is Victorian with Romanesque Revival details. The building features a tower at each corner; the southwest tower was once a clock tower but no longer has a clock. The east and west entrances to the courthouse feature porches with brick columns. The upper windows of the building are arched with stone; the stone continues around the building in a band, a feature described as "one of the strongest elements of the design". The courthouse&#39;s roof incorporates a variety of designs; the main part of the roof and the towers are hipped, while gable ends are located between the towers.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 1, 1973.</p><br>

By 2000, the restoration of the school house was completed and, it is now used for community activities and tours.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>School house</h3><br>
<p>The one-room school house was built in 1920-1921 by Black Forest community residents, who also provided the land and building materials. It was the first public building in the Black Forest area. The building, 32 by 22 feet, was constructed with Ponderosa logs. The school room was heated by a coal burning stove with a red brick chimney. It had a well and an outhouse. Children were taught the first to eighth grades beginning in the fall of 1922. In addition to education of children, the building was also used as a church on Sundays, a summer Bible school for children in the summer, and for other events. In 1925, an addition was added to the front of the building for a cloakroom and to store coal. The school closed in 1945 and was consolidated with other rural schools, such as the Forest View School which was 5 miles to the southeast of the Black Forest School.</p><br>
<h3>Residence</h3><br>
<p>From 1947 to 1977 the school house was the residence of a man who worked for the county road commission and his family. In 1947, the building was converted to a 2 bedroom home with a living room and kitchen. Electricity was brought into the home, a septic system was added and a new well was dug for the home. Indoor plumbing was installed in one side of the addition in 1951, and a utility room was added to the other side in 1975. The property was abandoned by the county in 1981.</p><br>
<h3>Restoration</h3><br>

<p>The Friends of the Black Forest Log School was incorporated in 2009.</p><br>
<h2>Anniversary celebration</h2><br>
<p>In 2012, a 90th anniversary celebration was held during the summer. The building had several public openings and celebrations, including games of hopscotch, tug of war and jump rope.</p><br>
<h2>Other log buildings</h2><br>
<p>Near the school house are other log buildings, including a Black Forest store built in the late 1920s, a Community Hall completed in 1929, and a log church completed in 1940.</p><br>
<p>The Franklin County Courthouse, located in Courthouse Square on Main Street in Ottawa, is the seat of government of Franklin County, Kansas. The courthouse was built in 1892. Although Ottawa had been the county seat since 1864, it lacked a permanent courthouse prior to then. Architect George P. Washburn designed the courthouse in the Romanesque Revival style; the red brick courthouse is considered one of Washburns "most outstanding works". The design features four square corner towers, a typical feature of Washburns designs; two cupolas on the roof include a bell tower and a clock tower. The intricate roof design includes a main hipped roof with gable ends on each side and steep hipped roofs atop the towers. The roof line is ridged with a metal spine, and a dentillated cornice runs beneath the roof&#39;s edge. The east and west entrances to the courthouse are through large porches supported by brick columns and topped with balconies. The second-story windows are arched and connected by a band of stone.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 17, 1972.</p><br>
<p>The Paradise Valley Ranger Station, located at 355 S. Main St. in Paradise Valley, serves a district of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest in Humboldt County, northwestern Nevada. It has also been known as the Paradise Valley Guard Station.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The ranger station was built in 1933 in an American Craftsman Bungalow style. It was designed by the USA Forest Service architects and built by the Civilian Conservation Corps−CCC for the then named Humboldt National Forest.</p><br>
<p>The construction of the ranger station building started in 1934 by the Civilian Conservation Corps was halted for several years but the work was resumed and completed in 1941.</p><br>
<h3>National Register of Historic Places</h3><br>
<p>The building was deemed significant as a product of the National Forest Service&#39;s work with the Civilian Conservation Corps, a government jobs program of the Great Depression. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. The listing included seven contributing buildings and one other contributing structure.</p><br>
<h2>Present day</h2><br>
<p>Currently, the station is run by the United States Forest Service for the Santa Rosa Range District of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, in Nevada.</p><br>
<p>The Mud Springs Station Archaeological District, which includes the Mud Springs Pony Express Station Site, near Dalton, Nebraska, has significance dating to the mid-19th century. The Pony Express station at Mud Springs, staffed by USA soldiers, was attacked by Lakota, Cheyenne, and Arapaho tribesmen during February 4–6, 1865, in what became known as the Battle of Mud Springs.</p><br>
<p>In 1966, the site of the Pony Express station was a 150 x plot. Part of the present area was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973 as Mud Springs Pony Express Station Site, and the listing was expanded to 48 acre and renamed on the register in 2011. It has also been designated Nebraska historic site 25MO72.</p><br>
<h2>Brief History</h2><br>
<p>Mud Springs Station, a Native American territory in the olden times, served as a Pony Express site in 1860-61. It was named after the springs found at the opening of a canyon that divided Lodge Pole Creek and North Platte River Valleys, Dalton, Nebraska. The station served travelers en route the dry and arid trail from the Lodge Pole Creek to Oregon.</p><br>
<p>In 1859, Mud Springs Station saw the coming of crude houses and a stage station for coach service, the movement called as Pony Express. But its life proved short-lived and in, 1861, abruptly ceased. But, as a legacy, a transcontinental telegraph station was established at Mud Springs Station and a daily stage coach service continued its service.</p><br>
<p>The telegraph station, that served till 1876 proved a savior for Mud Spring Station, when an attack by the Sioux and Cheyenne Indians in the Battle of Mud Springs was thwarted by a SOS telegraph sent to US troops and the subsequent arrival of reinforcements to counter the attack. Today, as the last vestige of the Mud Spring Station, a stone monument, inlaid with a bronze Pony Express plaque, stands at the historic site.</p><br>
<p>Currently, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, originally, the Pony Express Station site was donated in 1939 to the Nebraska State Historical Society, by the then site-owner, Mrs. Scherer.</p><br>
<p>The Lee and Gottliebe Fritz House, located at 132 North Oak in Gordon, Nebraska, is a historic house that was built in 1909. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places  in 2003. The listing included a garage, older than the house itself, as another contributing building.</p><br>
<p>In its NRHP nomination, it was deemed significant as "a distinctive example of a significant type of construction in Gordon, Nebraska, namely... a Dutch Colonial Revival residence." It was noted that Dutch Colonial Revival is "extremely rare...in this part of Nebraska." In fact it is apparently the only example in Sheridan County. And also it was also deemed significant for association with Lee Fritz, "a leading Sheridan County citizen".</p><br>
<p>Boulder Crescent Place Historic District is a historic area in Colorado Springs, Colorado along West Boulder and Cascade Avenue near the intersection of the two streets. It is a National Register of Historic Places listing and is on the Colorado State Register of Historic Properties.</p><br>
<h2>Overview</h2><br>
<p>Five houses in the district are examples of Dutch Colonial Revival and Queen Anne style architecture in the United States built in Colorado Springs between 1894 and 1901. The city grew dramatically when people came to the Pikes Peak region at the turn-of-the-century "for their health and to enjoy the natural scenic beauty." The Boulder Crescent Place area is located near Memorial Valley Park and the streets are lined with trees planted when the homes were developed at the turn of the 20th century.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Boulder - Cascade block was laid out in 1883. It was conveniently located near the downtown business district, the railroad station and Monument Valley Park. The district is significant for its architectural charm, retention of its original appearance and residential use, setting along the wide, tree-line Cascade Avenue and proximity to the park.</p><br>
<p>The homes at 312 and 320 N. Cascade were built on land as subdivided in 1883. After the land was subdivided into smaller lots in 1898, the other three houses in the district were soon built in close proximity to one another. Although originally intended as quality single-family residences, some of the buildings became boarding houses for the large number of tourists or infirm who came to Colorado.</p><br>
<h2>Houses</h2><br>

<p>The Morton County WPA Bridge, near Richfield, Kansas, United States, is a stone multi-arch bridge that was built from 1936 to 1939 by the Works Progress Administration . It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>According to its NRHP nomination, it was deemed significant due to its use of distinctive construction methods which are no longer in use including "supported by a stone arch which is loaded by an earthen fill which in turn, is retained by stone spandrel walls." It was also credited for maintaining the "integrity of location, design, setting, materials, feeling and association."</p><br>
<p>Carlton House is a historic Spanish Colonial Revival house located in Pine Valley of the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado. It has been used as a residence for Mrs. Albert E. Carlton, a country club called the Pine Valley Club and, among other Academy functions, a residence for the United States Air Force Academy Superintendent.</p><br>
<h2>Overview</h2><br>
<p>Richard Requa, an architect from San Diego designed the Spanish Colonial Revival house. The main house was built in two phases: the first floor was completed in 1930 and the second floor was completed in 1935. A total of nine buildings were built on the Carlton House property,</p><br>
<p>Richard Requa&#39;s designs were a "Southern California Style" of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture which he defined in his book Architectural Details: Spain and the Mediterranean:</p><br>
<p>Buildings simple in mass and pleasing in outline and proportion</p><br>
<p>Walls built of rough masonry, finished on the exterior with stucco, whitewashed or tinted light pastel shades</p><br>
<p>Roofs either flat or low pitched, covered with well rounded, burned clay tiles</p><br>
<p>Ornament used with restraint, discrimination, and with definite reason and purpose</p><br>
<p>Exterior interest obtained by wrought iron, wood or stucco, window grilles, shutters, balconies or similar practical features</p><br>
<p>Focal point of exterior usually the main entrance where the finest ornamental work is concentrated</p><br>
<p>Courts, patios and gardens an indispensable feature of the architectural treatment</p><br>
<h2>Carlton residence</h2><br>
<p>The house was first built as a residence for Albert E. Carlton and his wife Ethel Frizzell-Carlton. In 1928, Carlton purchased the property from William A. Otis to build a home for his wife. Carlton was a successful businessman, having invested in mines, banks and railroads. He was named "King of Cripple Creek" due to the success of his mines there, including Cresson Mine, "one of the most profitable mines in the town".</p><br>
<p>Mrs. Carlton had become enamored of the Spanish Colonial Revival architecture during her travels across Southern California. Subsequently architect Richard Requa was hired to design their home. The house was a "leading social center in the region." However, Carlton preferred to live at The Broadmoor resort and never lived at the Pine Valley home. Mr. Carlton died in 1931. Mrs. Carlton furnished the home with antiques that she purchased in Europe and lived there until 1950. She donated antique furnishings to The Broadmoor.</p><br>
<h2>Country Club</h2><br>
<p>Jack Valentine of Florida purchased the property from Mrs. Carlton for the Pine Valley Club, a popular private country club with a golf course and swimming pool. He landscaped the property and built a pool house and auxiliary kitchen. He sold the property to the government in 1955.</p><br>
<h2>Air Force Academy</h2><br>
<p>The house was used as a Junior-Senior High School during the period in which the School District 20 were completed. Then, due to funding considerations, the house was allocated for use as a home for the Academy Superintendent. Before the Cadet Chapel was completed, weddings were conducted on the property for cadets. It has also been used for visits by foreign dignitaries and Academy functions.</p><br>
<h3>Buildings</h3><br>
<p>All of the following buildings have a stuccoed exterior. The main house has two stories and the rest are one story buildings. Generally the interior walls are plaster. There are multiple courtyards among and between the buildings.</p><br>
<h3>Maintenance costs</h3><br>
<p>In 2000, Congress mandated that maintenance costs for generals&#39; residences should not exceed $25,000 per year. Anything more than that would require approval. An audit of maintenance expenses found that $2.4 million total had been spent between 1987 and June, 1999; $500,000 covered by the military family housing budget and the remainder from the base operation and maintenance budget. It was estimated that an additional total of $1.2 million would be spent through the fiscal year end in 2006.</p><br>
<p>The auditors found that there were unwarranted expenditures and that there had been inconsistent tagging of public (Academy) vs. private (residential) space and resource usage, which affects which budget is used to pay the expenses. For instance, $300,000 was spent to renovate the kitchen, which had been identified as public space. However, there were about 1.4 functions per month that required the use of the kitchen and most of the improvements were thought to have benefited the residential occupants. Further, renovations were being made more frequently than was standard practice.</p><br>
<p>The audit stipulated that "Air Force guidance on historical housing facilities states bases should consider major upgrading, alternate uses, or disposing of historic housing if repair and maintenance costs become excessive."</p><br>
<p>The Randolph Mitchell House is a historic house in the small community of New Reading, Ohio, United States. One of the most prominent old buildings in the area&#39;s oldest settlement, it was once the home of a leading local resident, and it has been named a historic site because of its distinctive Neoclassical-influenced architecture.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Settled in 1801, the community of New Reading was platted in 1805, before any other community in Perry County; for much of its early history, it was better known as "Overmyertown" in honor of its founder, Peter Overmyer. Before long, Mitchell had gained high standing in the community; he was a prominent member of the village&#39;s Methodist church, and later generations remembered him as one of the leading merchants of old New Reading.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Mitchells house is a brick building with a foundation of sandstone, a slate roof, and miscellaneous elements of sandstone and other types of stone. Built with a floor plan in the shape of the letter "L", the house is entered primarily through a grand entrance in the center of its five-bay facade. This entrance is the exteriors most prominent component, due to its trabeated entrance with an archway, its eight-panelled surrounding windows and fanlight, and its Ionic columns on both sides of the doorway. Inside, the house is divided into rooms surrounding a single hallway, and the rooms feature neoclassical detailing. The plan and details of the house&#39;s interior and entrance combine to make it typical of the Adam style, while the exterior is clearly Federal in style.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>The Randolph Mitchell House occupies a prominent place in the extant early architecture of Perry County. Few period residences in the area can compare with its Federal and Adam styling, and few have experienced so few changes by the hand of man. In December 1978, the Mitchell House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying both because of its distinctive architecture and because of its place as the home of a prominent citizen. It is one of four National Register-listed properties in Reading Township, along with St. Josephs Catholic Church near Somerset, the home of General Philip Sheridans family in Somerset, and Somerset&#39;s public square.</p><br>
<p>The Perry County Courthouse is a historic government building in the city of New Lexington, Ohio, United States. Built near the end of the nineteenth century after the end of a county seat war, it is the fifth courthouse to serve Perry County, and it has been named a historic site because of its imposing architecture.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>After Perry County was established in 1817, the county commissioners and courts met for their first two years at John Fink&#39;s tavern on the eastern side of Somerset at the corner of Main Street (the Zane Trace) and High Street. leaving the old courthouse to be used by Somerset as its village hall.</p><br>
<p>The first courthouse at New Lexington was not paid for by the taxpayers in general, because advocates of New Lexington as county seat had raised the necessary amount through private donations. Among the stipulations of the state law permitting the removal of the county seat was that suitable buildings should be provided if the seat were to be moved; such a building was finished, but it stood vacant for several years before the offices were placed in it. As the end of the nineteenth century approached, the county&#39;s needs expanded to the point that the old courthouse was insufficient, and a fifth courthouse, the present structure, was erected in 1887 and dedicated one year later.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Designed by Joseph W. Yost, and from the large monolithic wall above the main entrance. Its Romanesque influence is apparent from details such as the miniature turrets above the main entrance and on the corners of the tower. From its earliest years, the courthouse has been considered one of Ohio&#39;s grandest, due in part to its location in a small community in a rural county.</p><br>
<h2>Jail</h2><br>
<p>Located behind the courthouse is the old county jail, a three-story brick building.</p><br>
<h2>Recent history</h2><br>
<p>In 1981, the Perry County Courthouse and its jail were listed together on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying for designation both because of their architecture and because of their place in Ohio&#39;s history.</p><br>
<p>In the 1990s, the courthouse attracted statewide attention when a prominent lawsuit, DeRolph v. State, was filed in the Perry County Common Pleas Court. Claiming that Ohios existing system of school funding violated the state constitution, a coalition of school districts in southern Ohio sued the state in 1991 in order to force through a fundamental change in school funding. Upon the county judges ruling in favor of the coalition three years later, the lawsuit was appealed through the courts and received numerous trials in all levels of the Ohio judiciary throughout the rest of the decade, including multiple decisions by the Supreme Court.</p><br>
<p>The Atchison County Courthouse, located at the southwest corner of 5th and Parallel Streets in Atchison, is the seat of government of Atchison County, Kansas. The stone courthouse was built from 1896 to 1897 and replaced the countys first courthouse, which had been built in 1859. County officials wanted the courthouse to resemble the Franklin County Courthouse in Ottawa, so they hired that buildings architect, George P. Washburn, to design the new courthouse. Washburn designed the building in the Romanesque Revival style. The courthouse&#39;s design features four corner towers, including a seven-story clock tower. The main entrance to the courthouse has a porch within a large arch; the doorway is contained in a smaller arch. The building has a hip roof with intersecting gable dormers; the towers have pyramidal roofs.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 16, 1975.</p><br>

<p>Monument Valley Park is a historic, recreational park in Colorado Springs, Colorado through which Monument Creek flows. It is a National Register of Historic Places listing and is on the Colorado State Register of Historic Properties.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The park is located in the center of Colorado Springs. It is about 2 mi long, with Monument Creek, a tributary of Fountain Creek running through the center of the park from West Monroe south to West Bijou. The park is bounded on the west by Interstate 25 and the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway. At the east is residential housing.</p><br>
<p>Monument Creek flows north to south and falls about 72 ft in elevation. It is 5,988 ft in elevation at its lowest point at the southwestern corner of the park; it is 6,060 ft in elevation at the northern edge of the park, north of Boddington Field. The narrow Mesa Creek intersects with Monument Creek at the northwestern edge of the park.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Park creation</h3><br>
<p>General William Jackson Palmer donated the land for Monument Valley Park to Colorado Springs to be a "park for the people". The park was developed between 1904 and 1907 and included "elegant gardens, winding walks, bridged ponds, a tennis court, playgrounds and an arboretum displaying Colorado tree and shrub species and Palmers Colorado Wildflower Garden." Every species of wildflower in Colorado was in Palmers garden. The intention was to create a mixture of formal gardens and natural settings, like natural English gardens.</p><br>
<p>Palmer was eager to find the mineral springs for which the city had been named, since these had been covered by sands during recent floods; he wished to feature a mineral spring as a gathering place in the park. Palmer found the spring in 1904 and directed engineers to install a concrete vault to maintain the waters purity and a hand pump to bring water to the surface. Palmer announced his intention to build a pavilion and to name the spring after Zebulon Pikes Indian guide, "Rising Moose," who was known as "Tahama" and other names in his native language.</p><br>
<p>Spencer Penrose donated the swimming pool in 1914.</p><br>
<p>Years after Palmers death in 1909 a pavilion was planned in his honor as a memorial. Completed in 1926 the pavilion fulfilled Palmers wishes to create a public gathering place at the citys original spring and to name the spring "Tahama Spring" after Zebulon Pikes Indian guide.</p><br>
<h3>Flood of 1935</h3><br>
<p>The park was damaged following a significant flood on Memorial Day, 1935. The bridges alone resulted in damages of. As a result, the park today looks very different than it did before the flood.</p><br>
<h3>WPA renovation</h3><br>
<p>The Works Progress Administration was engaged to renovate the park as the result of the flood damage. They built creekside stone retaining walls, bridges, rock steps and benches using timber and native stone as part of a rustic, picturesque design. A grandstand was built for one of the baseball fields. Stone markers were established with bronze plaques in recognition of the renovation work performed by the WPA. Features that were not replaced include a lake, some of the gardens, and rustic bridges.</p><br>
<h3>National Register of Historic Places</h3><br>
<p>In 2007, 100 years after General Palmer gifted the park to the city, Monument Valley Park was added to the National Register of Historic Places through the efforts of the Historic Preservation Alliance and the Friends of Monument Valley Park.</p><br>

<h2>Events</h2><br>
<p>The Friends of Monument Valley Park organize annual events, including:</p><br>
<p>General Palmer Day, held on July 31. It is an event that brings back some of the early 20th century lifestyle. People are encouraged to wear turn-of-the-century attire and bring their own picnic dinner. The evening event, held at the Pavilion, includes a historical program, music, a sing-along and ice cream cart.</p><br>
<p>Lilac Day, held in mid-May, as a homage to William Palmer. The day has been celebrated since the parks beginnings. The Friends sponsors lilac planting, starting in 2002, and organized a cleanup day at the park in 2009. In 2012 they planted General Palmers favorite lilacs — the common purple, the common white, the Ludwig spaeth, and Persian lilac — west of the Glen and Cache la Poudre parking lot.</p><br>
<p>A Bird Walk was mid-May in 2012 and 2013. In 2012 the event was led by naturalist Ken Pals, and the group spotted 20 species of birds during their walk.</p><br>
<p>Musical Mondays began in 2008 and are their main summer event.</p><br>
<p>The Washington Cemetery is a historic rural cemetery on the outskirts of the city of Washington Court House in the southeastern part of the USA state of Ohio. Established in the mid-19th century, the cemetery was transformed from a typical cemetery into a masterpiece of design during its first several decades. It is the burial place of several prominent political figures, and elements of its design have caused it to be designated a historic site.</p><br>
<h2>Establishment</h2><br>
<p>The cemetery was platted in 1856 by several eminent citizens, including Judge Daniel McLain, who had previously owned the land. Although its original boundaries encompassed 10 acre, the area was soon tripled. As soon as the cemetery was properly organized in a legal fashion, it was devised to the city and to Union Township. Colonel Samuel N. Yeoman, a former forty-niner and Civil War veteran, established the cemetery; he participated in planning its layout and served as its first president. Under the leadership of superintendents W.B. Ely, James Holmes, and George Gossard, the cemetery was converted from an ordinary burial ground into a garden cemetery of a sort little seen in Ohio except in the large cities. Some of the leading components of its design are the winding driveways, artificial lakes, rare shrubs and trees, and a fountain that was placed in 1892. Two of the most prominent buildings in the cemetery are its mausoleum (originally known as the "Washington Memorial") and its chapel (originally the "Doctor Judy Memorial&quot now known as the "Judy Chapel"), which were constructed in 1914 and 1905 respectively.</p><br>
<h2>Later history</h2><br>
<p>In 1903, local residents began planning a streetcar line for the city, with the cemetery to be the terminus; although rails and other resources were purchased, the concept was ultimately abandoned without anything having been built. As the twentieth century passed, the cemetery fell into disarray; money was saved by filling in a lake, and the fountain and chapel deteriorated. Under the leadership of the garden clubs of Fayette County, Judy Chapel and the fountain were restored in 1997 and the early 2000s respectively. The chapel was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998, and the entire cemetery followed it eight years later; it was designated the "Washington Cemetery Historic District." This designation was unusual, for both religious properties and cemeteries are generally ineligible for the National Register and must pass higher standards than most other properties to be eligible for inclusion.</p><br>
<h2>Notable burials</h2><br>
<p>Two USA Representatives are buried at Washington Cemetery: Mills Gardner (died 1910) and James D. Post (died 1921), as well as Harry M. Daugherty, who served as United States Attorney General during the presidencies of Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge in the 1920s.</p><br>
<p>The Doniphan County Courthouse, located in Courthouse Square in Troy, is the seat of government of Doniphan County, Kansas.

<p>The Pan Motor Company Office and Sheet Metal Works are the two surviving buildings of a former motor vehicle manufacturing complex in St. Cloud, Minnesota, United States. They were built from 1919 to 1920 for Samuel Pandolfos Pan Motor Company, which produced about 750 vehicles between 1917 and its failure in 1922. The office is a single-story brick building with a flat roof, while the sheet metal works is a much larger steel and concrete structure topped by a double monitor roof. The buildings were jointly listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984 for having local significance in the theme of industry. They were nominated for being the remnants of St. Clouds first large industrial complex and Minnesota&#39;s leading, if short-lived, auto manufacturer.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Samuel (Sam) Connor Pandolfo (1874–1960) was first a teacher, then an insurance salesman, and finally an automobile entrepreneur. Pandolfo&#39;s extensive travels as an insurance salesman inspired him to dream up a new car design, one that suited a traveler. His new automobile would have fold-down seats for sleeping, a compartment for tools and extra gasoline, clearance for bumpy country roads, and a place for food and drink.</p><br>
<p>Beginning in 1916, Pandolfo took to the road to sell stock for his car company. From New Mexico to Chicago, the $10 stocks sold easily. There were 9,000 stockholders by 1917. In March 1917, St. Cloud became the official site for the new Pan Motor Company. The site was chosen because of its proximity to the harbors and iron ore mines of Duluth, Minnesota. St. Cloud had two major rail lines and two power dams on its eastern border, the Mississippi River.</p><br>
<p>On the Fourth of July 1917, Sam Pandolfo threw the picnic of all picnics. With an immense crowd in attendance, the Pan Automobile prototype premiered; 15,434 pounds of beef and 8,000 loaves of bread were not enough to feed everyone. There were, however, stocks sold to satisfy Pandolfo.</p><br>
<p>Along with the largest drop forge plant west of Chicago, offices, and massive production buildings, the company built a town called Pan-Town on the Mississippi to house its workers. There were fifty-eight homes, a fire department, and hotel. The company continued to raise capital by selling stock to pay for construction of these facilities. It also spent an excessive amount on postage—$30,000 to $40,000 a year—to promote and sell stock.</p><br>
<p>Only 735 cars were produced and stockholders were not getting any dividends. The Associated Advertising Clubs of Minneapolis (forerunner of the Better Business Bureau) lodged a complaint against the Pan Motor Company. They claimed Pandolfo spent more money on promotion than his Minnesota charter permitted. Although the suit was dismissed the claim continued to attract attention.</p><br>
<p>On February 1, 1919, a Chicago federal grand jury indicted Sam Pandolfo and all of the company&#39;s officers on seven counts of mail fraud and one count of attempted mail fraud. The judge in the case, Kenesaw Mountain Landis, was not sympathetic. The counts against the officers of the company were dropped but Pandolfo was convicted and served three years in the United States Penitentiary, Leavenworth. The Pan Motor Company struggled as it produced car parts for other companies and metal products under their own name until finally closing in 1922. Car production stopped and the St. Cloud community lost its bid to become a premier auto-manufacturing city to rival Detroit.</p><br>
<p>The William Burnett House was a historic farmhouse located near the city of Washington Court House in Fayette County, Ohio, United States. Constructed in the nineteenth century, it was once a masterpiece of multiple architectural styles, and it was designated a historic site because of its architectural distinction.</p><br>
<h2>Burnett</h2><br>
<p>William Burnett was a prominent Union Township resident in the middle of the 19th century: an 1850 publication recorded him as serving as a constable for the township and as a marshal for the village of Washington Court House. Six years later, he was elected to a five-year term as the county sheriff for Fayette County. In addition to his law enforcement duties, Burnett operated a farm on the Leesburg Road southwest of Washington Courthouse; here he built a new house in 1869.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Burnetts house was built with brick walls and foundation, a metal roof, and elements of wood. Five bays wide, it featured an unusual combination of architectural styles: the basic floor plan was that of an I-house, but unlike most I-houses, it was constructed with high-style features common to the Greek Revival and Italianate styles of architecture. Some of the most prominent components of the houses design were the pairs of brackets placed above the hooded windows to support the large cornice; these Italianate elements were supplemented by Greek pieces such as the glass around the main entrance, which featured a lintel, sidelights, and a transom light. Together, the Greek and Italianate elements served to distinguish Burnett&#39;s residence from the typical I-house, which was a thoroughly vernacular structure.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>In early 1989, the Burnett House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of its historically significant architecture. Despite this designation, the house was destroyed by 2006, but it remains listed on the Register.</p><br>
<p>The Woodson County Courthouse, located in Courthouse Square in Yates Center, serves as the administrative hub of Woodson County, Kansas. Established by the territorial legislature in 1857, Woodson County initially designated Neosho Falls as its inaugural county seat. However, between 1865 and 1875, the county seat underwent multiple relocations, shifting back and forth between Neosho Falls and Kalida, then to Defiance, before ultimately settling in 1876 at the newly established Yates Center, strategically positioned at the heart of the county.</p><br>
<p>Built from 1899 to 1900, the courthouse was the second in Yates Center and replaced a wooden building moved to the city from Defiance. Architect George P. Washburn, who designed thirteen county courthouses in Kansas, designed the building; its design is similar to Washburns Kingman County Courthouse. The brick courthouse sits on a limestone base and has a Late Victorian design which includes elements of the Romanesque Revival, Queen Anne, and Free Classical styles. The building is topped by four corner towers and a central cupola. Three of the courthouses four entrances feature arched doorways surrounded by porches, while the north entrance has a large limestone arch around the doorway and no porch. The first and second floor windows are rectangular, while the attic windows are arched and sit atop the second floor windows; all sets of windows are connected by stone bands encircling the building.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 10, 1985. It is part of the Yates Center Courthouse Square Historic District, which is also on the National Register.</p><br>

The jail and sheriff&#39;s residence remained in use until 1984, while the courthouse remained in use until 1985.</p><br>
<h3>Pepin County Heritage Center</h3><br>
<p>Currently, the property serves as the, which is operated by the Pepin County Historical Society. Exhibits include the courtroom, jail, and displays of local history and culture.</p><br>
<h2>1881 hanging incident</h2><br>
<p>In 1881, a man who had been associated with Quantrills Raiders and the James-Younger Gang was arrested in Durand for the murder of a sheriffs deputy. On the day of his trial at the courthouse, a mob descended upon the area, taking custody of the man and later hanging him.</p><br>
<p>The event was reported in the St. Paul Pioneer Press and The New York Times, causing Durand to gain a reputation of a "hanging town". However, it was later reported that most individuals involved in the hanging had come to the town from other areas. It was the last hanging in Wisconsin.</p><br>
<p>The Mount Carroll Historic District is a designated historic district in the Carroll County, Illinois town of Mount Carroll, which is the county seat. The district is listed on the National Register of Historic Places , and is one of a total of six sites in the county included on the Register.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the NRHP in 1980. One building within the district, the Carroll County Courthouse, had already been added to the NRHP in 1973.</p><br>
<p>The District is divided into three major sections: the traditional downtown of Mount Carroll, including the courthouse, library and business district; a residential area to the south of the downtown; and further south, the historic original campus of Chicago&#39;s Shimer College, now occupied by the Campbell Center for Historic Preservation Studies. The great majority of the buildings in the first two sections date from before 1900. Due to a fire that destroyed the original Mount Carroll Seminary campus in 1906, all of the Shimer campus buildings are from the 20th century, but most date from before 1930.</p><br>
<p>NRHP-listed structures that are located within Mount Carroll but not included in the district are the Caroline Mark House and Nathaniel Halderman House.</p><br>
<h2>Buildings and structures</h2><br>
<p>The District&#39;s boundaries include a total of 272 buildings and structures, of which 81 have been assessed to have particular architectural and historic significance.</p><br>
<h3>Shimer College campus</h3><br>
<p>The buildings of the erstwhile Shimer College campus are chiefly in the Georgian Revival style; they form a traditional college quadrangle. Two buildings that formed part of the Shimer College campus, but were built after 1960, are omitted from the Historic District: these are the Karyn Kupcinet Playhouse and the New Men&#39;s Dorm, both of which are separated from the rest of the campus by Jackson Street.</p><br>
<p>Since Shimer&#39;s departure in 1978, the campus has been occupied by the Campbell Center for Historic Preservation Studies, originally known as the "Restoration College". The buildings are used for administrative, classroom, and lodging purposes, but also serve as subject matter for the study and practice of historic preservation.</p><br>
