The oldest dwelling is associated with “Sunnydale Farm” and is a Greek Revival-style dwelling built about 1870. The predominant architectural style represented is Colonial Revival.</p><br>
<p>In the early 1970s, spillover commuter parking in Aurora Highlands by workers at the adjacent Crystal City complex led the county to establish the first residential zoned parking in the USA with the goal of reducing air pollution and protecting the neighborhood character as well as its quality of life. A lawsuit was filed to block it as a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The plaintiffs prevailed in trial court and then on appeal to the Virginia Supreme Court, which held it unconstitutional since it granted residents of the permit zone greater rights over the public streets than their neighbors outside of it. The county appealed to the USA Supreme Court, which reversed the lower courts in Arlington County Board v. Richards, holding that discrimination based on residency alone was not unconstitutional if it rationally furthered a legitimate state interest such as those embraced by the ordinance.</p><br>

<p>The Bordeaux Trading Post near Chadron, Nebraska was built during 1845&ndash;46 by James Bordeaux. It has been reconstructed faithfully, in the same location with the same post-holes, using weathered old lumber from a nearby ranchhouse. It is now the Museum of the Fur Trade.</p><br>
<p>In 1972 the post was listed as an archeological site, with potential for information to be gleaned in the future, on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>James Bordeaux&#39;s trading post is located on the museum grounds. Reconstructed in 1956 on its original foundation stones and formally opened, the reconstructed storehouse followed soon after. The precise location of the post, by the 1950s a large sloping depression on a natural terrace a few yards from Bordeaux Creek, had been conclusively identified by eyewitnesses including Hudson Mead, the first county surveyor, and Welcome Naylor, son of the first homesteader on Bordeaux Creek. Both had seen the collapsing ruins in the 1880s. Most amazing, however, were the recollections of Herbert and John Bissonette, the sons of fur trader Joseph Bissonette who was a competitor and contemporary of Bordeaux. During the 1870s Joseph had operated a trading post less than a mile away, and both brothers had visited the Bordeaux post on countless occasions when it was still in business! The brothers’ descriptions of the Bordeaux post interior, with details of shelves, counters, window locations, and furnishings were priceless details that were often corroborated by the archeological record.</p><br>
<p>Although the walls and the stumps of the upright supports were clearly revealed during the excavations, all wood components of the structures had deteriorated beyond any possibility of reuse. Early settlers had even removed the easily accessible stones from the chimney. However, the hearthstones of the fireplace and the threshold stones in the entry are the original ones laid down in 1837 and found in place in 1956. The walls, of hand-hewn native timber, follow the exact alignment of the originals, and all supporting uprights are sized to match the originals and are reset in the original postholes. The reconstruction is so painstaking, in fact, that the James Bordeaux Trading Post is included in the National Register of Historic Places, a rare honor for any rebuilt structure.</p><br>
<p>The trading post itself was established in the fall of 1837 on orders of Frederick Laboue, a trader for the American Fur Company and known to the Sioux as “Grey Eyes.” The company had just purchased Ft. Laramie, a hundred miles southwest, from William Sublette, and Laboue was anxious to maximize its trade in prime buffalo robes by establishing satellite posts in the protected valleys where the Indians wintered. As post manager, Laboue selected Jim Bordeaux, a Missouri Frenchman called “The Bear” by the Indians. He was married to two Brule Sioux sisters whose brother, Swift Bear, was chief of the Corn Band.</p><br>
<p>The army bought Ft. Laramie from the fur company during the California Gold Rush of 1849. In that year Bordeaux went into business for himself. Enemy Crow Indians from Montana raided his post on Bordeaux Creek. Friendly Sioux under Red Leaf and Two Strikes pursued the war party and fought an inconclusive battle 25 miles west at Crow Butte, named in honor of the fight.</p><br>
<p>Bordeaux prospered and eventually operated a store and ranch near Ft. Laramie and a stock ranch on Chugwater Creek in Wyoming. He served as an interpreter at the Ft. Laramie Treaty of 1868. His son, Louis, often ran the Bordeaux Creek post in later years. After the Civil War, conditions on the Northern Plains were unsettled and the trade often degenerated into the supplying of contraband arms to Indians resisting government efforts to force them onto reservations. In 1872 Jim Bordeaux abandoned his western interests and moved to Ft. Randall on the Missouri, where he had several government contracts to supply hay, firewood, and other services to the army. He died of pneumonia in 1878 at 64 years of age.</p><br>
<p>Immediately after Bordeaux left, Francis Boucher, son-in-law of Spotted Tail, head chief of the Brule Sioux, occupied the post on Bordeaux Creek. Probably with the tacit support of Spotted Tail, Boucher, known as “Bushy” to the Indians, played a dangerous game of smuggling arms and ammunition to the warriors valiantly fighting against the army. Undoubtedly guns and cartridges from this post figured in the defeats of Generals Custer and Crook. Finally, in August 1876, army troopers caught Boucher with 40,000 rounds of ammunition and put him out of business. The next year, the last free Indians crossed into Canada or surrendered and were moved to permanent reservations. The post on Bordeaux Creek had fallen into ruins by the time the railroad and the first homesteaders reached the Pine Ridge in 1885.</p><br>
<p>An official state historical marker detailing the history of the Bordeaux Trading post was placed on the museum grounds in 1967. The Chadron Area Chamber of Commerce provided funds for its erection. Edgar Red Cloud, grandson of old chief Red Cloud, delivered the benediction and sang the Sioux national anthem.</p><br>

<p>The Carnegie Library of Washington D.C., also known as Central Public Library, now known as the Apple Carnegie Library, is situated in Mount Vernon Square, Washington, D.C.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Use as library</h3><br>
<p>The library was donated to the public by entrepreneur Andrew Carnegie and was dedicated on January 7, 1903. It was designed by the New York firm of Ackerman & Ross in the Beaux-Arts style. It was the first Carnegie library in Washington, D.C., and the District&#39;s first desegregated public building. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, as "Central Public Library", in 1969. It was used as the central public library for Washington, D.C. for almost 70 years before it became overcrowded. The central library was then moved to Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library. After being shut down for ten years, it was renovated as part of University of the District of Columbia.</p><br>
<h3>Historical Society of Washington, D.C.</h3><br>
<p>In 1999, it became the headquarters for the Historical Society of Washington, D.C. The City Museum of Washington opened in the library in May 2003, but closed less than two years later. In 2014, Events DC twice sought to move the International Spy Museum into the library, but failed to win historic preservation approval.</p><br>
<h3>Apple Carnegie Library</h3><br>
<p>In September 2016, Apple Inc. proposed renovating the library into D.C.&#39;s second Apple Store location. The building was renamed the Apple Carnegie Library, and the Apple Store within opened on May 11, 2019. Apple hosts free daily sessions focused on photography, filmmaking, music creation, coding, design and more.</p><br>
<p>On October 9, 2019, the first episode of Oprah&#39;s Book Club, a television series produced by Apple, was filmed with a live audience in the Library. The episode premiered on November 1 of the same year.</p><br>
<p>The building also now houses the DC History Center on the second floor, and the Carnegie Gallery (featuring historic photographs and documents about the origins and history of the building) in the basement.</p><br>
<p>The Arlington Village Historic District is a national historic district located at Arlington County, Virginia. It contains 657 contributing buildings  in a residential neighborhood in South Arlington. The area was constructed in 1939, and is a planned garden apartment community that incorporates recreational areas, open spaces, a swimming pool and courtyards within five superblocks. It also includes a shopping center consisting of six stores. The garden apartments are presented as two-story, brick rowhouses with Colonial Revival detailing. There are three building types distinguished by the roof form: flat, gambrel, or gable. Arlington Village was the first large-scale rental project in Arlington County and the first Federal Housing Administration-insured garden apartment development. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<h2>Land acquisition and beginning of development</h2><br>
<p>Arlington Village was the sixth FHA project built by Gustave Ring in 1939. It was designed by Harvey Warwick, a Washington architect who had designed Colonial Village with Ring in 1935. Ring and Warwick applied the concept of the successful Colonial Village to Arlington Village. Gustav Ring, born in Weston, West Virginia in 1910, grew up in Washington and graduated from George Washington University with a degree in engineering. In July 1939, Ring, now a successful businessman, had developed $37 million of the FHA&#39;s $100 million of rental housing insurance. For Arlington Village in 1939, Ring bought 33 acres of potato patch from B. M. Smith across from the Hull house for $362,000, with the rest of the 53 acres purchased from a number of other parties. He believed the location was key for Washington suburban expansion.</p><br>
<h2>Site design</h2><br>
<p>The site was divided into five superblocks, with attention paid to the site&#39;s topography and a desire to retain as many natural characteristics of the area as possible. The superblocks were delineated by South Barton Street, South Cleveland Street, Sixteenth street, and Edgewood street. There were 590 paved and lined parking spaces along these streets. In the five superblocks, the designers concentrated undulating strings of 661 apartments on 12% of the space, leaving about 47 acres for green space, parks, recreation areas, yards, roads, parking spaces and service. The apartments were spaced around courts, the biggest being the "H" court. Each apartment had a front court and a private back court. The front court elevations were designed with Attic medallions, varying colonial door and window surrounds, porches, shutters, gambrel roofs of slate, dormers, and careful landscaping. The back court elevations are plain and have almost no details. There were 357 one-bedroom, 271 two-bedroom, and 33 three-bedroom apartments.</p><br>
<p>Ring sold the development to New England Life in 1950, at that time he had increased his original investment 666%. In 1979 Arlington Village resold for $9.7 million and is now worth twice that.</p><br>

<p>The Brinton Museum located on the Quarter Circle A Ranch and formerly known as the Bradford Brinton Memorial Museum, is a museum and historic ranch located 2 mi southwest of Big Horn, Wyoming. The ranch was built in 1893 by William Moncreiffe, a Scottish immigrant and successful businessman. In 1923, Bradford Brinton bought the ranch from Moncreiffe and expanded it to its current appearance. Brinton collected art and historical materials, particularly those relating to Native American history; after his death in 1936, his sister Helen converted the ranch to a museum displaying his collections.</p><br>
<p>Wyomings rolling Bighorn Mountains envelop The Brinton Museum on the Quarter Circle A Ranch. Its sweeping landscape and surrounding mountain range have been the muse of treasured American artists from Remington to Borein to Gollings, and the setting for rich cultural traditions integral to the American Indian tribes inhabiting this region. Today, it serves as a gleaming example of Wyomings transformation, and continues to delight and inspire artists and guests from around the world.</p><br>
<p>At the heart of The Brinton Museum is the art, historic documents, books and furnishings that made up Bradford Brintons original collection and which showcase the elegant and eclectic tastes of this well-educated Western gentleman. The permanent collection is on display in long-term exhibitions in the new facility and in its original setting in the Brinton Ranch House, and complemented by frequently changing exhibits featuring art of the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. Each exhibition has been thoughtfully curated to tell a distinctive story of the American West through historical and contemporary perspectives. The Brinton Museum is widely recognized for its careful preservation practices and acquisition of new pieces, and honoring the art and craftsmanship of the West and Bradford Brintons intent to support both.</p><br>
<p>The Brinton&#39;s world-class staff guides visitors to understand celebrated artists of the past, their works, and how they’ve inspired contemporary artists to explore and expand the art of the American West. Through home and museum tours, hands-on educational programming, artists’ series and a variety of special events that celebrate The Brinton and the riches of the Quarter Circle A Ranch, students of all ages leave The Brinton Museum with a deeper connection to art, American history, and the spectacular environment that surrounds them.</p><br>
<h2>Today</h2><br>
<p>The Brinton Museum opened its new state-of-the-art Forrest E. Mars, Jr. Building on June 15, 2015. Located on the 620-acre historic Quarter Circle A Ranch in Big Horn, WY, the new 24,000-square-foot $15.8-million, eco-conscious museum houses one of the most significant and extensive 19th and 20th century Western and American Indian Art collections in the USA featuring Frederic Remington, Charles Marion Russell, Thomas Moran, Edward Borein, Winold Reiss, and the largest Hans Kleiber collection in the world. It includes four galleries, a museum store and the Brinton Bistro, which offers indoor and outdoor dining with 180-degree views of the Bighorn Mountains. Many generous private donors and foundations helped to make the new Forrest E. Mars, Jr. Building possible.</p><br>
<p>The new three-story space was designed by the Sheridan, WY Architecture/ Engineering firm of Malone Belton Abel P.C. to reveal and honor the beauty of the area, while aligning with the natural geography of the ranch. Nestled into the hillside, it is anchored by a two-foot thick, 51-foot high, 209-foot long arced structural rammed earth wall, the tallest in North America. Principal Architect Timothy Belton, AIA, explains the design as symbolically integrating the space, honoring both the original family that began the collection and the spiritual nature of its American Indian Art collections. Climate-controlled galleries and a 4,000-square foot high-tech storage facility can now accommodate thousands of pieces of art, allowing the Brinton Museum to better preserve and exhibit current and new works and collections by iconic artists.</p><br>
<p>Construction of the new spaces and storage facility allowed the Brinton Museum to receive the Gallatin Collection, gifted to the museum by Fr. Peter Powell of the Foundation for the Preservation of American Indian Art and Culture in Chicago. Originally compiled by the Gallatin Family in Big Horn, highlights of the collection have been on view at the Art Institute of Chicago for more than 45 years. The complete collection features more than 100 pieces of American Indian art and artifacts, 60 of which are on permanent display in the Brinton Museum&#39;s new John and Adrienne Mars American Indian Gallery.</p><br>
<p>Bradford Brintons sister, Helen Brinton, founded the Brinton Museum in 1960, and it was opened to the public as the Bradford Brinton Memorial in June 1961. Her mission was to share Brintons original collection of art, historic documents, books and furnishings assembled in the early 1900s, which showcase the elegant and eclectic tastes of a well-educated Western gentleman who befriended and supported the top artists of his time. Today, the Brinton Museum showcases its historic and contemporary collections in long-term and changing exhibitions in the original Brinton Ranch House and throughout its new Western, American Indian and contemporary galleries. The Quarter Circle A Ranch also includes expansive gardens and a greenhouse, Little Goose Creek Lodge, and multiple 1900s-era buildings such as the Carriage Barn that houses a historic automobile, J.I. Case truck and various farm implements, and a saddle barn full of horse gear. In the next two years, the Brinton Museum also will convert its original 5,000-square-foot museum space into an education center.</p><br>
<p>“The Brinton Museum is the only museum in the USA that maintains a significant historic and ever-expanding Western and American Indian art collection on a beautifully maintained historic property at the foot of a mountain range,” said Schuster. “The art, as well as the Quarter Circle A Ranch property, are an American treasure.”</p><br>
<p>The ranch was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 10, 1976.</p><br>
<p>The Gregg House is a historic house at 339 Gregg Street in Fayetteville, Arkansas, near the University of Arkansas campus. It was built in 1871 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>A story Georgian home built on large sandstone blocks, the Gregg House has brick exterior walls generally 1 ft thick. The two story portico is open to the air on the second floor and enclosed by glass panels on the first floor. Two chimneys provide access for eight fireplaces. A small story building is connected via a breezeway, called an "ice house" by the Gregg family. The property is bordered by an ornamental iron fence and large trees.</p><br>
<h2>Eponym</h2><br>
<p>Lafayette Gregg relocated to northwest Arkansas from Moulton, Alabama as a child in 1835. After growing up on a Washington County farm, Gregg read law in Fayetteville and passed the bar exam, rising to become a prominent attorney in town. During the Civil War, Gregg was in charge of the Fourth Arkansas Cavalry (Federal) He was elected to the Arkansas House of Representatives after the war, later becoming the prosecutor for the Fourth Circuit, Chancellor of the Pulaski Chancery Court, and an associate justice of the Arkansas Supreme Court. Gregg also secured support for locating the Arkansas Industrial University in Fayetteville (now known as the University of Arkansas). Following its founding in 1871, Gregg was elected to the board of trustees. Gregg also became president of the Bank of Fayetteville and was defeated in a gubernatorial bid by Simon Pollard Hughes, Jr. Following his death in 1891, courts, businesses, banks, and the university all closed on the day of Gregg&#39;s funeral. He is buried in nearby Evergreen Cemetery with several other influential Fayetteville residents.</p><br>
<p>Princess Ruth Keʻelikōlani Middle School  is a school of the Hawaii Department of Education that occupies a historic building in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, built on the grounds of Keōua Hale, the former palace of Princess Ruth Keʻelikōlani of Hawaiʻi.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>A large palace for Princess Ruth Keʻelikōlani was built on this site in 1878. After she died in 1883, her estate passed to her first cousin, Bernice Pauahi Bishop, who died in 1884. The palace, named Keoua Hale, was sold to the government to be used for educational purposes. In 1895, Honolulu High School (formerly Fort Street English Day School) classes were held there until 1907, when the school was renamed McKinley High School and relocated to a new building facing Thomas Square (later renamed Linekona School). Central Grammar School then took its place.</p><br>
<p>In 1920, Central Grammar School was designated a forerunner of what would become the "English Standard" type of public school. Soon thereafter, English-language exams were required for entrance. Plans for a new building were commissioned to accommodate the rapid growth of students going on to secondary schools during the booming 1920s. The palace was demolished, and the makai wing of the new building opened in 1925. (One can still see the name "Keelikolani School" engraved over the first-story windows on that side.) After the other two wings were completed in 1927, Central Grammar School became Central Junior High School, one of only six public secondary schools in Honolulu at the time. In 1932, all junior high schools were renamed intermediate schools.</p><br>
<h3>2021 name change</h3><br>
<p>In 2021, Central Middle School was renamed to Princess Ruth Keʻelikōlani Middle School in honor of Keʻelikōlani. The effort to change the name began in 2019, and the change was approved by the Board of Education in September 2021. The renaming celebration took place on February 9, 2022.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The original design of the school was drawn up in 1922 by the prominent architectural firm of Walter Emory and Marshall Webb, who also designed such notable buildings as the grand Tudor Revival residence of Charles M. Cooke Jr. (1912), the eclectic Indian-Western-style Honpa Hongwanji Hawaii Betsuin Buddhist Temple (1918), and the Neoclassical Revival and Art Deco Hawaii Theatre (1921). Their first design showed more influences of the Mediterranean Revival style that characterized many public buildings of that era, but they modified the plans in 1924 to add more Neoclassical Revival features, such as Ionic and Corinthian columns. This style was further enhanced by the Territorial building inspector at the time, Harry K. Stewart, a graduate of Central Grammar School who went on to design many other public buildings in the Territory, such as Baldwin High School and Molokai Public Library.</p><br>
<p>The Julia B. and Fred P. Bowen House is a historic house built in 1869 in Richland Center, Wisconsin. In 1996 the house was added to the National Register of Historic Places, locally significant as an example of Italianate architecture, and for its association with Julia Busby Bowen, who worked for women&#39;s suffrage.</p><br>
<p>Julia Busby was born in 1840 in New York. She studied at Alfred University, where she was impressed by a painting teacher, Abigail Ann Allen, who spoke up for womens rights. In 1860 Julia married S.N. Waite and they moved to the South, where they were imprisoned by the Confederacy during the Civil War. Julias husband escaped and later died in battle. Julia was released, and the young widow eventually came to teach in Richland Center where her brother was sheriff.</p><br>
<p>Frederick Phelps Bowen was born in 1835 and came to Richland Center in 1854, where he and his brother started Bowen&#39;s Mill. He also ran a drugstore, a tannery and a livestock dealership.</p><br>
<p>Fred and the new teacher married, and in 1869 Frederick built Julia a house that was stylish and modern for the time.</p><br>
<p>The 1869 main block is two-story, rectangular, with walls of red brick, and a low-pitched hip roof. Double brackets support the eaves, clearly Italianate in style. The windows are flanked by shutters and a polygonal bay window protrudes from the west wall. The roof was originally covered with cedar shingles. The house originally had a one-story entry porch, and a one-story wooden cookhouse attached to the east side. Inside the front door is an entrance hall, with a staircase with a carved wood rail leading upstairs. The first story contains formal rooms: parlor, library, second parlor, and dining room. Upstairs are four bedrooms. Julia wanted a "modern house," with wood-burning stoves in each room and no fireplaces.</p><br>
<p>In the 1880s the cookhouse was replaced with a 2-story kitchen wing, with a Second Empire-styled mansard roof. The wing also contained a laundry room, a bath, and a pantry with a built-in icebox.</p><br>
<p>As mentioned above, Julia was a leader in the early womens suffrage movement. In 1876 she and Mrs. D.E. Pease were the first women to serve on the Richland Center school board. In 1882 she was involved in starting a Richland Center Womans Club whose written aim was to "aid social, intellectual, and philanthropic interests," but whose true aim was womens suffrage. They met at the home of Laura Briggs James and elected Julia their first president. She told them "we must be as wise as serpents and as harmless as doves if we are to make converts to our course." Two months later, Julia and a delegation from Richland Center attended a convention in Madison to form the Wisconsin State Suffrage Association; 11 of the 34 delegates came from Richland Center, giving an idea of the importance of Julias group at the state level. In 1884 the state-level association held its first annual convention in Richland Center.</p><br>
<p>In 1883 Julia and the Womans Club played a role in getting a new schoolhouse built in Richland Center. She was also involved in the temperance movement. The Richland Center Womans Club also cared for the poor, looked out for imprisoned women, arranged funerals for the needy, established a farmer&#39;s market, and helped establish a library.</p><br>
<p>In 1908 Julia and Fred&#39;s son-in-law Grant Ross replaced the original porch with the grander portico over the front door and the porch and balcony that run across the front. The columns are slender, with Ionic capitals, and the style of the porch is Classical Revival.</p><br>
<p>Still, the Bowen home is probably the best remaining symbol of the women&#39;s suffrage pioneers in Richland Center. Laura James and her husband had a fine house, and her daughter Ada was prominent in the second generation of suffragettes in Wisconsin, but Ada later remodeled their house, while the Bowen house is largely intact.</p><br>
<p>The Court Street Commercial Historic District is a largely intact part of the old downtown of Richland Center, Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989 - a 11.2 acre historic district which included 51 contributing buildings and 20 non-contributing ones. The buildings are commercial, mostly in Late Victorian styles constructed from 1870 to 1938. Most are brick two-story buildings; a few one-story and three-story brick buildings are interspersed.</p><br>
<p>In 1850 Vermont-born Ira S. Haseltine bought 160 acres along the Pine River and platted a town of Richland Center. A year or two later he got it chosen as the county seat. By 1854 Haseltine had built a dam on the river which powered a sawmill and gristmill, and around this industry a little commercial center had taken shape, with a hotel, a post office, three stores, a blacksmith, and eight homes. By 1858 a newspaper was added, "a hardware store, a wagon shop, a cobbler, and brick yard, a baker, a jewelry store, a cabinet shop, and several tanneries and asheries." Most of this development was near the river, to the west of the current historic district.</p><br>
<p>The town grew slowly until the mid-1870s due to lack of good transportation. In 1856 the Milwaukee and Mississippi Railroad had built its line along the Wisconsin River valley to the south, bypassing Richland Center, and refused to build a spur up to the town. In the early 1870s the town finally built its own spur 16 miles down the Pine River valley to Lone Rock - 16 miles of wooden narrow-gauge track. With that connection to the outside world completed in 1876, the town began growing faster, with the downtown expanding east into what is now the historic district.</p><br>
<p>The surrounding farms transitioned from growing wheat to dairy, with Richland Center providing supplies, services and connection to markets for the surrounding countryside. Butter production moved from the farms into town in the 1880s. Banks opened in 1870, 1881 and 1891. Wholesalers in town traded in cheese, groceries, fruits, tobacco, lumber, produce, livestock, poultry, eggs, wool and feed. The city was chartered in 1887, soon providing lighting, fire protection, and public water.</p><br>
<p>Many of the buildings still standing along Court Street were built in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Many of their storefronts at street level have been remodeled, but the upper stories are largely as originally built, with brick detail and elaborate cornices intact. Following are some examples, roughly in the order built.</p><br>
<p>The Park Hotel at 213 S. Central Ave was built of wood in 1873, then veneered with brick in 1900, then expanded in 1926 and 1930. It is three stories, with a square tower on the north end and an octagonal tower on the south. The round arches suggest Romanesque Revival style; the mansard roof on the one tower is from Second Empire style. Now apartments.</p><br>
<p>The 1883 H.T. Bailey Store and Opera House at 194 E. Court St. is a large 2-story Italianate-styled building with white stone trim and a bracketed cornice topped with a triangular pediment. It was designed by David Jones of Madison and built of brick from the local Hyatt Brickyard. Bailey initially ran a dry goods store at street level, with storage and a public meeting hall above. In addition to his retail business, Bailey bought wool and pork, but his store didn&#39;t make the transition from an exchange system to a credit system, and he went bankrupt in 1899.

<p>The CKW Bridge over Powder River is a Pratt deck truss bridge near Arvada, Wyoming, which carries US 14/US 16 across the Powder River. The bridge was built from 1932 to 1933 by the W. P. Roscoe Company. The 452 ft bridge has three continuous main spans and two shallow approach spans. It is the only continuous truss bridge still in use on a Wyoming road and one of only two deck truss bridges built on a major highway.</p><br>

Due to this configuration, the bridge has been called "one of more interesting vehicular trusses." The trusses in the bridge are connected rigidly rather than by pins; the bridge was built in a transitional period between the two designs and is an early example of rigid connections. The Gregg & Stout Bridge Company of Sheridan built the bridge in 1915.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 22, 1985. It was one of several bridges added to the National Register for its role in the history of Wyoming bridge construction.</p><br>
