<p>John Mercer Langston School is a historic structure located in the Truxton Circle neighborhood in Washington, D.C. The two-story brick building was designed by Appleton P. Clark, Jr. The structure was completed in 1902. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The school was built for African-Americans in 1902 to accommodate the overcrowding conditions in the neighboring John Fox Slater Elementary School. At the time the building was constructed, public education in the District of Columbia was segregated by race. It was one of several schools for African-Americans along First Street, NW between L and P Streets. Langston School was one of 31 schools opened between 1895 and 1902 during a period of steady population growth in the District, including along the North Capitol Street corridor. On April 3, 1901, the school board voted to name the new school after John Mercer Langston (1829-1897), who was the first African-American congressman from Virginia and was also a distinguished diplomat, academic and lawyer in the District of Columbia.</p><br>
<p>The school was dedicated in November 1902 and held one day before the fifth anniversary of Langston&#39;s death. A portrait of Langston was presented to the school on behalf of his family.</p><br>
<p>Slater and Langston Schools were operated as independent schools until the late 1910s when the Slater principal, Anna E. Thompson, became principal of both schools. During this time the schools were referred to jointly as Slater-Langston. When Slater was annexed to the Margaret Murray Washington Vocational School in 1951, Langston continued as an elementary school. The school was generally overcrowded before the Supreme Court&#39;s 1954 decision banning school segregation. By 1982 the overcrowded condition had reversed and enrollment steadily declined until it was closed in 1997. After its services as a school the building became a homeless shelter. It is now empty.</p><br>
<h2>Current</h2><br>
<p>The property was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2013. The area of significance is architecture, education, ethnic heritage/black. The property is currently not in use.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Langston School is a two-story, red brick building that was designed in the Italianate style. It housed eight classrooms, one for each grade level 1-8th. l. The main façade features two entrance towers, one for the boys and one for the girls. A Star of David is placed in each of the blind arches above the second floor windows. The building has an asymmetrical arraignment due to a planned west wing that was never built.</p><br>
<p>Langston School is significant in the area of Architecture since it is an excellent example of a public school building built for African American students and devised to accommodate an increased need for new school buildings in the city.</p><br>
<p>John Fox Slater Elementary School is an historic structure located in the Truxton Circle neighborhood in Washington, D.C. The two-story brick building was designed by Edward Clark and completed in 1891. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>At the time the building was constructed public education in the District of Columbia was segregated by race. Slater was one of several schools for African-Americans along First Street, NW between L and P Streets. The school for was built in 1891 and it was immediately at capacity. The school was named for John Fox Slater (1829-1897), a white industrialist and philanthropist from Rhode Island.</p><br>
<p>The John Mercer Langston School was built next door to ease the overcrowded conditions at Slater. Both schools were operated independently until the late 1910s when the Slater principal, Anna E. Thompson, became principal of both schools. During this time the schools were referred to jointly as Slater-Langston. Slater was annexed to the Margaret Murray Washington Vocational School one block to the south in 1951. Langston continued as an elementary school and Slater returned for use as an elementary school in 1958. The building, however, became outdated, it deteriorated and it was still overcrowded. It was featured in a 1965 Washington Post article "Moldy Shaw Fed by Even Moldier Schools." The school was closed in 1975; the building became a daycare center, and it houses a social service agency.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Slater Elementary School is a two-story, red brick building that was designed in the Romanesque Revival style. It housed eight classrooms, one for each grade level. The structure features projecting pavilions, gables, towers, and molded brick string courses. Slater is identical to Jackson School in Georgetown that was built for white students in 1889. The only difference between the two buildings was the roof of the corner tower on Slater was covered in tin. The building was designed to fit in with the row houses in the neighborhood. It was designed by Architect of the Capitol Edward Clark.</p><br>
<p>The Big Red Ranch Complex is an historic ranch located off USA Routes 14 and 16 in Ucross, Wyoming. The ranch was built circa 1882 by the Pratt & Ferris Cattle Company and was one of three large ranches operated by the company in the region. The ranch acquired its name because all of its main buildings were painted red; at the time, most ranches lacked permanent buildings entirely, much less painted ones. Pratt & Ferris became one of the most successful cattle ranching companies in the area by the end of the decade, as they bought out most other local ranches and even established a post office at the Big Red Ranch. In the 1890s, the ranch largely converted to raising sheep. In 1906, company owner Joseph Leiter turned the ranch into an irrigated farm; in the following years, the ranch briefly reverted to cattle ranching before Leiter leased it to sugar beet farmers. Leiter ultimately sold the ranch in 1949.</p><br>
<p>The ranch was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 11, 1984.</p><br>
<p>It is now used by the Ucross Foundation.</p><br>
<p>The Robinson-Pavey House is a historic residence in western Washington Court House, Ohio, United States. Named for its two prominent earliest residents, the house has been named a historic site.</p><br>
<p>After moving from another locality to Washington Court House, John H. Robinson arranged for the construction of the present house in 1849. Part proprietor of a family-owned textile factory, Robinson was able to occupy the house in the following year. He owned the property until 1861, when he sold it to local attorney Madison Pavey. Besides his law practice, Pavey was locally prominent as one of the founders of the Bank of Fayette.</p><br>
<p>Built of weatherboarded walls on a foundation of sandstone, the Robinson-Pavey House is covered with an asphalt roof and features elements of wood and iron. Among the prominent architectural elements of this Gothic Revival house are elaborate bargeboards at the ends of its tall gables; the roof is steeply pitched, and the house&#39;s shape is broken by a small "side" gable that includes a shutter-covered ogive window over the main entrance. Piercing the walls are two doors, both of which possess small but elaborate hand-carven trim and brackets.</p><br>
<p>In 1987, the Robinson-Pavey House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of its distinctive architecture; at the time of designation it was one of just two Gothic Revival houses in the city.</p><br>
<p>In 2018, the Robinson-Pavey House was scheduled to be demolished to make way for a Sonic restaurant. Local historian Emma Dell White "rescued" the historic house. She purchased two-and-a-half acres at 1733 State Route 41 Southwest, and, with her own money, commissioned the movement of the house from it&#39;s place on Highland Avenue in town, to the new site to preserve its place in Fayette County history.</p><br>
<p>The Rairden Bridge is a Pennsylvania through truss near Manderson, Wyoming, which crosses the Big Horn River. The bridge was built in 1916 by the Monarch Engineering Company. The bridge cost $30,986, making it one of the most expensive bridges commissioned by a Wyoming county government. The bridge was also the longest in Big Horn County&#39;s road system at 250 ft and is the longest surviving county bridge in Wyoming. In addition, it is one of two Pennsylvania through truss bridges remaining in Wyoming. The bridge was replaced by a new structure and abandoned in 1979.</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 NRHP for its role in the history of bridge construction in Wyoming.</p><br>

The Western Bridge and Construction Company built the bridge circa 1905. The 221 ft bridge has two spans, both Pratt trusses; the longer span is a Pratt through truss, while the shorter is a Pratt pony truss. The use of both through and pony trusses in the same bridge was uncommon in Wyoming, and the bridge is the only surviving example of a Pratt truss bridge in this style.</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 NRHP for its role in the history of Wyoming bridge construction.</p><br>

The bridge is a replacement for a historic Pratt through truss bridge built in 1913 by the Colorado Bridge and Construction Company. The 150 ft bridge was one of the longest Pratt through truss bridges built in the early stages of Wyoming bridge construction.</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 NRHP for their role in the history of Wyoming bridge construction.</p><br>
<p>The ETR Big Island Bridge is a Pratt through truss bridge located near Green River, Wyoming, which carries Sweetwater County Road CN4-4 across the Green River. The bridge was built from 1909 to 1910 by contractor Charles G. Sheely. It was named the Big Island Bridge after the Big Island region of Wyoming, which the bridge connected to other parts of the state. The 352 ft, two-span bridge is one of the older Pratt through truss bridges in Wyoming, and its spans, each 155 ft long, are some of the longest on bridges of this design in the state.</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 NRHP for their role in the history of Wyoming bridge construction.</p><br>

<p>The Fairbanks Flats are four apartment buildings in Beloit, Wisconsin, built in 1917 by Fairbanks Morse to house black workers arriving from the South. The flats segregated the black families, but also constitute the kernel of Beloit&#39;s black community. In 1983, they were added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>At the start of World War I, Fairbanks-Morse was Beloit&#39;s largest employer, producing engines. In 1914, the company began to produce a marine diesel engine, requiring more workers. To meet labor needs, F-M brought in black factory workers, many from the Jim Crow South. Six families came in 1915 - 250 by 1917. Many of the arrivals were unskilled laborers, but there were also blacksmiths, molders, oilers, and a foreman.</p><br>
<p>The influx of new workers produced a housing shortage and Fairbanks-Morse worked to solve the problem. Its subsidiary Eclipse Home Makers, Inc. bought the land that Fairbanks Flats now occupies on the west side of the Rock River across from the factory and planned the rather plain flats there, aiming to contain "the large number of negroes in one place" on what was then the edge of town. Meanwhile, the company was planning a separate development for its white employees with single-family homes and curved streets - Eclipse Park - designed by New York architect George B. Post. Segregation wasn&#39;t a huge concern then, but the purchase of land for Fairbanks Flats was, because F-M snapped it up just before the city planned to acquire it to be part of a city park/boulevard system. Many felt the tract of land was key to the park system, and the city threatened to condemn the land to stop the land deal. The mayor of Beloit warned that the project could create "class bitterness that will be enduring and most undesirable for years to come." Nevertheless, F-M went ahead with its project.</p><br>
<p>Construction began in late 1917. Four apartment blocks were built - each with six 2-story apartments. Each building has walls of concrete block, shed roofs, and parapets topping the side walls. The double doors in the front middle of each building is sheltered by a canopy. A simple band of protruding block connects the tops of the windows on each story, but otherwise the buildings are not decorated.</p><br>
<p>In following years, Fairbanks-Morse brought in J.D. Stevenson from Tuskegee Institute to start a YMCA for black youths nearby. The apartments came to be called the Edgewater Flats, but were still administered by F-M officials as late as 1929. Ownership changed after WWII, and people outside of Fairbanks-Morse could rent there. Nevertheless, the Flats remained predominantly black. The NRHP nomination considers the Flats significant as "an example of the role of private corporations in community planning during an era of rapid industrialization" and as "the nucleus of Beloit&#39;s twentieth century black community."</p><br>
<p>The Lovejoy and Merrill-Nowlan Houses are two large, adjacent houses built in the 1800s in the Courthouse Hill Historic District in Janesville, Wisconsin. The Lovejoy house is in a rather eclectic Queen Anne style; Merrill-Nowlan is Georgian Revival.</p><br>
<p>They were separate single-family homes with independent histories until both were owned by the YWCA in the 1970s.</p><br>
<h2>Lovejoy Mansion</h2><br>
<p>Allen Perry Lovejoy was born in Maine in 1825 and trained as a carpenter. He came west to settle in Janesville in 1850 and started a retail lumberyard. By 1868 he had several yards and a wholesale lumber business, supplied by pine stands that he bought in northern Wisconsin, Michigan, and as far west as Oregon and California. In 1880 55-year-old Lovejoy married 30-year-old Julia Stow and bought the land where his mansion would stand. On returning from their European honeymoon, the Lovejoys lived at the Myers Hotel while their house was built. It is said that carpenter Lovejoy sat on a camp stool to monitor construction of his house.</p><br>
<p>The Lovejoy Manor was designed by Milwaukee architect James Douglas - a large 2.5-story house with various decorations in a style described as "Late Picturesque." The walls are cream brick. The roof is complex, with flared eaves and dormers of various shapes. Gable ends are trimmed with ornate bargeboards and fish-scale shingles. Surface textures are varied - clearly in the Queen Anne mold. Inside are five fireplaces and hardwood floors. The parquet floor in the nursery suggested a railroad track around the room.</p><br>
<p>Allen Lovejoy went on to be president of Janesville Machine Company, a director of the First National Bank of Janesville, a member of the Wisconsin State Assembly, the Wisconsin State Senate, and mayor of Janesville. He died in 1904. Julia founded Janesvilles first kindergarten and helped start the first hospital. After Allens death in 1904, she resided in the house until she died in 1953. After Mrs. Lovejoy&#39;s death, Joseph A. Craig bought the Lovejoy mansion in order to present it to the YWCA, whose offices remained there for the rest of the twentieth century.</p><br>
<h2>Merrill-Nowlan House</h2><br>
<p>Hiram Merrill was born in 1829 in New York and came to Milwaukee in 1837. He first worked in his father&#39;s shipyard, then in 1849 headed west for the California Gold Rush, where he sold water to miners for hydraulic mining. In 1864 he came to Janesville and ran the Janesville Gas Light Company.</p><br>
<p>In 1882 Merrill and his wife bought the lot next to where Lovejoy was building his house. The lot probably contained an Italianate-styled house built in the 1850s or 1860s. The Merrills lived there for some years while Hiram became vice-president of Janesville Machine Company, mayor of Janesville, and a state assemblyman.</p><br>
<p>In 1904 the Merrills expanded the house, almost doubling its size, and updating the style from Italianate to then-more-trendy Georgian Revival style. Elements of that style are the grand portico with Ionic columns and pediment above, the corner pilasters, and the modillion trim. The inside was remodeled into two apartments - a downstairs for Hiram and Mrs. Merrill, and an upstairs for their widowed daughter Mrs. Burton Nowlan and her two children.</p><br>
<p>Hiram died in 1908. The Nolans owned the house until 1978, when it was donated to the YWCA.</p><br>
<p>The Turtleville Iron Bridge is an overhead truss bridge built in 1887 where South Lathers Road crosses Turtle Creek near Beloit, Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<p>Turtleville was settled in 1838, growing around a dam and mill and once including a distillery, a store, a blacksmith shop, a school, church, and the once-elegant Hodson House. Turtleville has since withered into a ghost town, but the cemetery and bridge survive from that era.</p><br>
<p>The bridge is a single-span, 141 ft,</p><br>
<p>The DDZ Bridge over New Fork River is a Kingpost pony truss bridge located near Boulder, Wyoming, which carries Sublette County Road 136 across the New Fork River. The bridge was built in 1917 by Lincoln Countys government, as Sublette County had not yet been formed. Unlike most truss bridges at the time, the bridge was built with timber trusses rather than steel; it is the only wooden two-span Kingpost truss bridge remaining in Wyoming. The bridges construction is considered to be "the most sophisticated" of extant wooden truss bridges in the state.</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 NRHP for its role in the history of Wyoming bridge construction.</p><br>
