<p>New London Academy is a historic school located in Forest, Bedford County, Virginia. The rising of public schools after 1870 and closing down many of Virginias private schools led New London Academy joining with the new public school districts of Campbell and Bedford Counties while remaining a private institution. This survival led to New London Academy being known as one of the oldest continuously running public schools of Virginia or even the South. New London is set apart from other historic schools in its architecture, notable alumni, like Thomas Jeffersons grandson, and the religious aspects of the school.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the late eighteenth century, New London, Virginia&#39;s hunger for education brought forth the need for proper education. Since the public school system had not been created yet, most schools were tuition-based academies. Thus, the New London Academy was chartered by the Virginia General Assembly in December 1795. With the charter, New London Academy could be seen as more trustworthy. Early in 1775, the academy was established on its present campus near the former town of New London as a classical school for boys. Eventually, the school became co-educational in the 1870s and in the late-1880s became affiliated with the new public school system. New London Academy is the only public school in Virginia to operate under a charter from the General Assembly. New London Academy has gone through many changes structurally, in addition to the changing makeup of the school body. Religion also played a big factor in the history of the school.</p><br>
<h3>Funding The School</h3><br>
<p>In the early stages of the academy, the trustees at the academy hosted local lotteries in order to fund operations due to the lack of state funding. The Literature Lottery was an important source for many schools during this time period. New London Academy held its first in 1797–1798 to collect funds for additional buildings and running the school. The lotteries allowed locals to be involved in helping the school. After 1818, the academy was funded by the Literacy Fund, which was a State fund.</p><br>
<h3>Evolution of New London Academy</h3><br>
<p>Throughout the years of operation, New London Academy&#39;s focus on education has changed:</p><br>
<p>1795-1870: NLA begins as a classical school.</p><br>
<p>1870: NLA goes public.</p><br>
<p>1910-1929: NLA becomes an agricultural high school.</p><br>
<p>1964–present: NLA serves as an elementary school.</p><br>
<h2>The Structures</h2><br>
<h3>Alumni Hall & The Original School Buildings</h3><br>
<p>The original campus of 1795 consisted of a two-story, frame building with a hipped roof, interior end chimneys, and enlarged windows. The structure was built in Greek Revival style. There was also a president&#39;s house, a large enclosed brick church, and a kitchen. As well as a Smokehouse. Nothing is left of the Smokehouse today. Later in 1839, the original academy building was replaced by a brick carbon copy, now known as Alumni Hall. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. It also used to be connected to Thomas Hall, as described below.</p><br>
<h3>Museum (1797 Kitchen)</h3><br>
<p>Also on the property is a contributing frame kitchen building. The separate kitchen structure came into existence in 1797 because there was a danger of fire in having a kitchen connected to a bigger building. The original use, of course, was for the purpose of cooking so there is a central chimney that has two openings and hearths on either side of both rooms. Because of the nature of the large fireplaces being useful for cooking, the struggle was to actually heat the building, the fireplaces were much too large to accomplish that need. The kitchen structure has had many different uses. A few uses were as a storage shed and offices for the faculty staff at the academy. In 1890, the structure was used as a music studio. It became a museum around the 60s.</p><br>
<h3>Thomas Hall</h3><br>
<p>Thomas Hall was built as a boys dormitory in 1916–17, and was named for Principal O. A. Thomas. While the original plans for the dorm indicated that it would be a separate structure, the loan required that the money for construction had "...to be a renovation of, or an addition to, an existing building, not a new, freestanding structure." That building being Alumni Hall, as described above. The principal at the time, Robert Q. Lowry, wasn&#39;t disappointed in this. But despite that, he had a perfect conception the "Pavilion" idea for the campus of New London Academy, that goes back to the construction of the original buildings, by Curle and Jones in 1797. The structure was eventually demolished in 1970.</p><br>
<h3>Evans Hall</h3><br>
<p>Evans Hall was built in 1873 as an exact replica, on the exact same spot of, the Original Principals House, which burned to the ground in 1867. It was named after Miss Martha Evans, the dorm matron and a teacher at the school. While the approval for the new building was confirmed in 1869, construction did not occur until 1872, after the short stint New London Academy had in the new public school system. During the time between the destruction of the original Principals House and the construction of Evans Hall, it is unknown where the principals lived. Upon the construction of Evans Hall, which was built by J. W. Mays for $1,095. Evans Hall, though initially a residence for the principal, served other purposes in the latter years of the academy. In the 1880s, a primary school was operated by the principals wife. In the 20th Century, the principals residence would be moved to Thomas Hall, and Evans Hall would be used first as a boys dormitory and later as storage and utility. In the 1960s, New London Academy was going through renovations and several buildings were demolished. Despite growing preservation efforts during the 1960s, Evans Hall was destroyed in 1964.</p><br>
<h2>Religion at New London Academy</h2><br>
<p>While New London Academy has never been a religious academy at any point, it has had religious connections. In its initial years, the academy was affiliated with the New London Church or the Academy Church. When Reverend Thomas Brown became the principal of New London Academy, he told prospective parents that he used the New Testament as a textbook, though he took care to note that the school would avoid being linked to any one church denomination. In the mid-1800s, Rev. Nicholas Cobbs, an Episcopal priest, ran the academy, then on weekends traveled through Virginia with a cart and a choir and re-established Episcopal parishes, before resigning his position to become the Episcopal chaplain at the University of Virginia in 1837. Despite the lack of formal denominational links, one of the main goals of New London Academy and many schools at the time was to prepare the students for living completely, internally, externally and eternally. The school also hosted Vacation Bible School, and often let church organizations use the building, as some teachers were members of churches. The students also participated and even ran school chapels and led devotionals for other students. Students would also use religion to get out of class duties. A story noted in The Spirit of New London Academy goes as such. Ms. Coleman, a teacher at the academy was known for her passion for church and her disdain for the Revised Standard Version (RSV) of the Holy Bible. Students wanting to get out of their Latin lessons would ask her about the homily from the Methodist church, which she would gladly recite for the students. They would also ask her thoughts about the newest version of the Bible, the RSV, of which Ms. Coleman had many thoughts. Many of the students of New London Academy went on to be ministers, reverends, or bishops, including John Early (bishop) and Rev. Dr. John Holt Rice. Rev. Dr. George A. Baxter left the academy in 1798 to instruct at Liberty Hall (Forest, Virginia). Cobbs, school principal (1824–1830), would in 1844 be elected Bishop by the Episcopal Diocese of Alabama.</p><br>

<p>The Chadbourn Spanish Gospel Mission is a Mission Revival building in the Conejos District of Colorado Springs, Colorado. The building is on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Beginning in 1928 the mission church provided religious, educational, sports, and mission services to the residents of the Conejos District. It was supported by the Colorado Springs Ministerial Association, which formed an advisory board which helped solicit and provide funding and teachers for the church.</p><br>
<p>It was founded by Ruth Chadbourn, a Presbyterian nurse who had moved to Colorado Springs for her health after having served as a missionary in Costa Rica.</p><br>
<h2>Conejos District</h2><br>
<p>The Conejos District was an area in Colorado Springs that was home to a Mexican community beginning at the turn of the 20th century who had moved to the area to work at the nearby Denver & Rio Grande Railroad, mills and mines. Many members of the Hispanic community came from the San Luis Valley. They moved into an area that had been home to people of Scandinavian and Jewish heritage who moved to other areas of the city.</p><br>
<p>The district lies between Colorado Avenue and Mill Street to the north and south. The eastern and western borders are the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad yard and Monument Creek. Families lived in frame houses on narrow lots and there were stores in the neighborhood to serve the community.</p><br>
<p>The Chadbourn Spanish Gospel Mission is the only structure that remains from the district.</p><br>
<h2>Church and mission</h2><br>
<p>Built in 1910, it was a frame building used first as a grocery store. It began being used as a mission in 1930, and was named the Spanish Gospel Mission. The mission was founded by missionary Ruth Chadbourn, who worked in Costa Rica and moved to Colorado Springs in the 1920s for her health. It was created to support the community with a high crime rate and poor living conditions. The building was rented in 1930 and purchased in 1934 by Chadbourn and trustees of the mission. Members of Protestant Colorado Springs churches formed an advisory board to help manage the finances of the organization and arrange for funds for the mission. Chadbourn died in 1936 and subsequently the mission was named for her.</p><br>
<p>After it was renovated in 1939 to 1940 to the Spanish Mission style, it was a non-denominational church and mission that helped community members and was a community and education center. A bell tower donated by Colorado College and curvilinear parapets were added to the church and, among other modifications, it was stuccoed. The First United Methodist Church donated stained glass panels. Its architecture has been described as follows:</p><br>
<p>The building’s Mission Revival style is exemplified in its square bell tower, curvilinear parapets, overhanging eaves, exposed rafter tails, arches, and stucco finish.</p><br>
<p>Church services were performed in Spanish and English. The church held Bible and Sunday School classes. Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts met at the church. Children could play on the church&#39;s basketball and baseball teams. Adult education courses in music, sewing and English language. It provided food and Christmas gifts to neighborhood children and was a place for community events.</p><br>
<p>The church was long a center for the Conejos district, with the pastors often taking the role of advocate for the Hispanic community in Colorado Springs. An article in the April 29, 1942 issue of The Colorado Springs Evening Telegraph reported that the Rev. Jose Guzman, the pastor of the congregation, had issued a statement strongly condemning the discrimination which was being experienced by the many Hispanic workers who had come to Colorado Springs to build Camp Carson, only to encounter "No Mexicans Allowed" signs in many of the city businesses. The final paragraph eloquently expresses Pastor Guzmans frustrations: "It is said that between four and five hundred Spanish-Americans from New Mexico have already given their lives in the Pacific for the USA And what a profound gratitude is shown by those who are here mistreating, perhaps the brothers, perhaps the fathers of those that have died for our beloved America. Some of them have asked me: "How come we are their equals in the war front, and cannot be their equals in the lunch counter or the beer joint?"</p><br>
<p>Following World War II, the church continued to advocate for the families of the Conejos neighborhood. In an article in the August 17, 1951 issue of the Colorado Springs Free Press, the pastor of the church, Dr. Harry Corney was quoted as follows, "The South Conejos Street district is a black mark against the Colorado Springs community. We refer to our friends as American Mexican Spanish people since most of them are American citizens. The people of this city should see how their neighbors on South Conejos Street are forced to live."</p><br>
<p>An article was written in The Gazette said of the mission:</p><br>
<p>This neighborhood badly needs such work for there are many children and youth crowded into small houses with no playground except the street. Character-building agencies are much cheaper than the cost of juvenile delinquency.... This enterprise has shown what inter-denominational and inter-racial understanding and good will can do.</p><br>
<p>In 1954, the homes and buildings in the district were demolished and the property was used for commercial and light industrial purposes. In 2005, America the Beautiful Park was completed across Ciminio Drive from the church, at the corner of Conejos and Ciminio Drive. The mission has remained and conducts weekly church services. It is no longer funded by other congregations. Its congregation includes the grandchildren and children of the earlier church members.</p><br>
<p>In 2008, The Gazette reported that the congregation was slowly growing and had plans of expanding the church building. A rezoning of the building allows the church to obtain grants for the construction. Becoming listed with the National Register of Historic Places helps to ensure the historic preservation of the church.</p><br>

<p>The Riverton Railroad Depot is a historic railway station located at 1st and Main Streets in Riverton, Wyoming. The depot was built by the Chicago and North Western Railway from 1906 to 1907 along a new line through central Wyoming built by the railway in 1906. The city of Riverton formed only two weeks before the railroad reached it when land in the area opened to new residents under the Homestead Act. The railroad spurred economic development in the region by exporting agricultural products and oil and creating demand for the local coal and lumber industries. When the railroad industry declined after World War II, the Chicago and North Western gradually decreased its service west of Casper, and by 1974 it was prepared to demolish the Riverton station as well. A group of Riverton residents instead bought and restored the depot, which now houses businesses. Some claim that the depot is the last surviving Chicago and North Western station west of Casper, but, although modified, the Lander station , still stands and is currently home to the Lander Chamber of Commerce.</p><br>
<p>The depot was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 22, 1978.</p><br>
