<p>The Foothill Boulevard Milestone  is a milestone located on Colorado Boulevard west of Holliston Street in Pasadena, California.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>The milestone was placed along the Foothill Boulevard, one of six highways established and marked by the Highway Commission of Los Angeles County in the 1900s. Foothill Boulevard began in Los Angeles and passed through South Pasadena and Pasadena before turning east and running through the cities in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains. The milestone marked the point 11 mi from the Los Angeles County Courthouse in Los Angeles. In addition, the milestone marked the block number of the highway; each highway was marked using a block system that divided every mile of the road into ten blocks. After the Highway Commission disbanded in 1908, its highway system was largely forgotten. The Mile 11 marker is the only remaining milestone of the three placed by the commission in Pasadena.</p><br>
<p>The milestone was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 19, 1996.</p><br>
<p>The Robert L. Douglass House, at 10 S. Carson St. in Fallon, Nevada, United States, was built in 1904. It has been described as an "outstanding" example of Queen Anne architecture. The property also includes a structure known as the Cottage Hospital and the Fallon Hospital, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. The listing included two contributing buildings.</p><br>
<p>No newspaper article or historical document contains any information which reveals the identity of the designer. But in 1903, a Reno architect named came to Fallon to design the Churchill County Courthouse and Churchill County Jail. That is why he is suspected to be the designer of the Robert L. Douglass House.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Though the Robert L. Douglass House was constructed in 1904 to be used as a residence, it was used for a hospital and as a hotel for quite some time. The unidentified architect implemented the cross gable style for the roof and free classic Queen Anne style with some spindle-work elements for the 2,605 square-foot structure.</p><br>
<p>The free traditional porch wraps across the southern corner of the front elevation and the 2-story turret projects from the northeast nook. The composite roofline employs a mixture of hipped and gabled forms, with a hexagonal hipped roof, crowned via the usage of a finial, covering the turret. A shallow hipped-roof dormer is located above the lobby. The actual roof covering was timber shake, however a modern-day composition roof shingles has changed it. Historic images show the usage of decorative ridge caps, but those have not survived to the present time. Set into 3 faces of the turret roof are giblets offset from beneath with the aid of curvilinear brackets. Early images also exhibit a brick chimney at the north end of the house close by the parlor. The chimney has been replaced by a pipe stack. It is not diagnosed what brought about the alternative, however a severe earthquake hit the area in 1954 and might have compromised the stability of the previous chimney. An authentic smaller brick chimney can be found in the center of the house.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built in 1904-05 accompanied by a garage. The garage became of enough length to house the Doctor&#39;s vehicle, and was asked to have an internal turntable, which could rotate one hundred ninety degrees so the automobile could be driven directly out of the building. In 1914, the storage was turned into the Cottage Hospital, and a porch was added to the front along with 8 truncated columns. The redesign from garage to hospital included 2 additions to the rear and changes to the home windows and roofline. A next redesign between 1923 and 1947 transformed the Cottage Hospital into apartments and covered a third addition to the rear and the porch happened to be enclosed at that point.</p><br>
<p>The W.J. Quarles House, also known as Greenvale, is a historic residence in Long Beach, Mississippi. Constructed in 1892, the structure was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, and was designated a Mississippi Landmark in 2012.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>William James Quarles was a rural school teacher from Tennessee who settled in the Long Beach community of south Mississippi in 1884. The Quarles House was constructed in 1892 as a five-bay, wood-frame, two-story residence with clapboard outer walls. The structure was two rooms deep and sat on a foundation of brick piers with one interior chimney. The house was the residence of W.J. Quarles until 1924.</p><br>
<p>Battered by a century of hurricanes, the Quarles House was severely damaged by Hurricane Camille in 1969. Through the latter half of the 20th century, the house was vacant and sealed. In 2003, the Quarles House was listed as one of the ten most endangered historic places in Mississippi by the Mississippi Heritage Trust.</p><br>
<p>Because the house was located on property that was highly prized for commercial development in Long Beach, the owner sought permission from the keeper of the National Register of Historic Places to move the structure approximately 400 ft northeast, near the Quarles Family Cemetery. The move was approved in 2012. Following the move, restoration of the structure was initiated to achieve historical accuracy.</p><br>
<h3>Cottage</h3><br>
<p>When the Quarles house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, there was a one-story, two-room, clapboard cottage located just east of the main house. In 1884, the cottage was originally part of a one-story house where the Quarles family resided while their new 2-story home was under construction. In the 1930s, the 1-story house was torn down, leaving the cottage.</p><br>

<p>The Churchill County Courthouse, adjacent, also designed by Ben Leon, was listed on the NRHP ten years earlier.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Two years before the conventional incorporation of Fallon, Churchill County Jail was constructed in 1906. Prisoners were shifted to different residences all over Churchill County before the construction of the jail. The initial location of the prison was at Buckland Station, east of Fort Churchill because during the year of 1861 Buckland remained the country-seat. It was a tiny rough-hewn structure back then. Amongst the local stone constructions, the old jail remains as the finest perseverance in the Lahontan Valley.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The frontage of the jail is at the south, its outer proportions are about forty six feet by twenty eight feet. The base of the structure is not evident though it is guessed that the same stones are used as used in the outer walls. Old pictures of the jail show that the entrance was approximately eighteen inches high from the ground level but the entrance on West Williams Avenue is at the ground level at present. Several incidents like, construction of roads on William Avenue, and telephone company construction of the next door might have brought the in-filled soil around the jail.</p><br>
<p>The rooftop has rough cut two inches by 6 inches rafters on sixteen-inch centers and two inches by twelve inches ceiling joists on sixteen-inch centers. Twenty inches thick walls have an exterior surface of quarried stone, an internal coating of rock rubble and inner layer of concrete. The walls which separate the hallway and the office at the front are made of conventional woody frames covered with plaster. The two doors of the jail include the front door on the south direction and the entrance on the east which is used for the entry and exit of the prisoners.</p><br>
<p>The California Building, located at 1000 Cowan Dr., Idlewild Park, in Reno, Nevada, is a historic building that was built by the state of California for the Transcontinental Highway Exposition of 1927.</p><br>

<p>Legion, until 1938, when ownership was returned to the city of Reno. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The building plus related tent annex and exhibits cost $100,000 and was built over a two-year period concluding in 1927.</p><br>
<p>Hanapepe Town Lot No. 18, Hanapepe, Hawaii, on the island of Kauai, is a building built in 1926. Historically remembered as the Pool Hall, it was built as a coffee shop, then later partly used as a radio shop. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. Also listed on the state register, restoration of the building was completed in 2003 after being damaged in Hurricane Iniki.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed "significant as a surviving example of the vernacular wood commercial buildings constructed in Hawaii in the early twentieth century. Single wall construction and the false front are characteristic of the type. The plantations popularized single wall construction, but the method was used throughout the islands because of its low cost and ease of construction. The unsupported pent roofs at the sidewalk are characteristic of Hanapepe&#39;s commercial buildings."</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant also for association with the 1920s and 1930s growth of Hanapepe, a town that is unique in Kauai for developing not as a plantation town, but rather as workers left plantations elsewhere and moved to the area to farm and to open businesses.</p><br>
<p>The Granada Theatre is a theatre located in Emporia, Kansas, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985 and was designed by the Boller Brothers.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Granada Theatre was constructed in 1929 at a cost of $350,000 ($ in dollars). The theatre was dedicated on October 3, 1929, in a speech by “The Sage of Emporia,” William Allen White. During its early years, the theatre attracted many famous performers. In addition to screening movies, it was used for everything from beauty contests to traveling vaudeville acts. It was leased for many years to the Fox Corporation and became known as the Fox Theatre.</p><br>
<p>Architect Robert O. Boller, of Boller Brothers, Architects, designed the Granada Theatre. Boller Brothers were nationally known theatre designers with offices in Kansas City and Los Angeles.</p><br>
<p>Like many grand old movie palaces of its era, the Granada&#39;s popularity declined during the 1960s and 70s. During this period, the building suffered from neglect and damage resulting from a leaking roof. It was closed in 1982. In April 1985, the theatre was placed on the National Register of Historic Places, but, it was not until demolition threatened the building in 1994 that a group of citizens rallied to save the theatre.</p><br>
<p>In cooperation with the Kansas Preservation Alliance, the Emporia Granada Theatre Alliance was formed and acquired the building, saving it from destruction. Since then, the Alliance members and numerous volunteers have spent countless hours stabilizing and renovating the outside of the building and preparing for the interior phase of the project. Working cooperatively with other local arts, cultural and tourism organizations, the Alliance has developed a plan to make the Granada Theatre a keystone facility – a place that builds community.</p><br>
<h2>Board of directors</h2><br>
<p>When the Emporia Granada Theatre Alliance bought the Granada Theatre in 1994, they set up a Board of Directors to oversee everything done at the theatre. They raised money for renovating the theatre, as well. The Director of the Granada Theatre, Brian Williams, also reports to them.</p><br>

The NRHP nomination cites Buildings of Nevada as stating: "The image of the two-story, wood-frame dwelling with its pedimented gables and bracketed eaves no doubt lent an</p><br>
<p>air of respectability to Robisons speculative enterprise" and describes that small secondary residences for rent are available, and apparently were in use from the late</p><br>
<p>1920s and the 1930s, providing the short, six-week residency required for "quickie" divorces in Nevada.</p><br>
<p>The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006. The listing included five contributing buildings.</p><br>
<p>The Keen Kutter Building is a former hardware warehouse located in Wichita, Kansas, that was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003. The four-story building has a free standing water tower that powered a water sprinkler system. The tower is an important landmark on the city&#39;s skyline. In 1999 the building was re-purposed as the Hotel at Old Town, which includes a large collection of Keen Kutter hardware on display.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>This building displayed the owners as the "Morton Simmons Hardware Co." and it had Keen Kutter logos on its tower. Keen Kutter was a trademark owned by the Simmons Hardware Company. Simmons was the first company to establish a nationwide brand for a wholesale hardware company. Simmons Hardware was one of the first to publish a full line hardware catalog. These catalogues included thousands of illustrated pages that allowed the purchaser to select items. The goods were sent by rail, direct to one of the warehouses. This building was a warehouse supplied by a spur line of the Frisco Railway to nine shipping bays. There is little evidence of the bays today.</p><br>
<p>Simmons products were supplied to customers via warehouses like this one in six states. The other warehouses were in New York, Iowa, Minnesota, Ohio, and the warehouse at Sioux City in Iowa. The warehouses stock included ammunition, lawn mowers, axes, knives, wires, and cutlery. The companys motto was, "The Recollection Of Quality Remains Long After The Price Is Forgotten".</p><br>
<p>This 80,000 ft&sup2; building was constructed in 1905–1906, designed by the St. Louis architects Mauran, Russell & Garden, and was strongly based on the Cupples Building in St Louis. The building was constructed in brick by the Wurster Construction company.</p><br>
<p>The tall free standing tower was designed to be and became an important landmark. On each side of the building the owners advertised their name. The faded remains of the logos for "E.C.Simmons - Keen Kutter" and the subsequent owners "Harwi" can still be seen today (2013). The tower&#39;s more practical purpose was to hold 20,000 gal of water that could be delivered to sprinklers on each of the four floors in the event of a fire.</p><br>
<p>In the 1920s the Winchester Repeating Arms Company diversified to include knives and hardware. They merged with the Simmons Hardware Company. During the 1920s this warehouse was at the disposal of the merged Winchester and Simmons company. The Winchester and Keen Kutter brands did good business but in 1929 they agreed to separate and Simmons and this building returned to their core business.</p><br>
<p>The Keen Kutter tools that were stored and sold from this warehouse are now collectibles. The contemporary book Keen Kutter Planes lists over 800 items from the brand.</p><br>
<h2>After Simmons and Winchester</h2><br>
<p>The building was sold in October 1929 to Alfred Jonathon Harwi who had a Kansas-based hardware company. The Harwi company started in 1875 and was incorporated in 1889. The Harwi company had a slightly smaller building of 75,000 ft&sup2, based in Atchison, Kansas. Harwi&#39;s purchase of the Wichita building was the same year that Simmons and the Winchester became separate companies again.</p><br>
<p>The building was later purchased by Jack deBoer, a local hotel owner, who had the building converted into a hotel. The new 115-room hotel opened as the "Hotel in Old Town" in 1999. The hotel has purchased what it claims to be the "largest authentic collection ever assembled" of Keen Kutter hardware which are displayed on all the floors like a private museum focusing on Keen Kutter and old Wichita.</p><br>

<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The building is a two-story detached Eastlake ornamented dwelling with three bays and a 1.5-story rear addition located on a quarter city block.</p><br>
<p>The house is architecturally significant as most detailed example of Eastlake style in Eureka.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Thomas F. Ricks (1855–1908) was born in Eureka, California, the son of 49-er Caspar S. Ricks (November 10, 1821 Rome, Indiana - June 21, 1888 San Francisco) who built many business and residential blocks in Eureka and Adaline A. Fouts of Clark County, Indiana who also owned Eureka property independent from that of her husband. The children of C.S. Ricks were well-to-do, socially prominent and influential. Thomas Ricks owned the Ricks Livery Stable. Thomas younger brother, Hiram Lambert Ricks (1860 - January 27, 1921) established the present day Eureka water system, then named the "Ricks Water Company", served as Mayor of Eureka, and began campaigning for the Northwestern Pacific Railroad to Captain A.H. Payson, then president of the line. Both Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Ricks had extensive property holdings in Eureka, and Mrs. Ricks business extended as far as San Francisco, to which she traveled frequently. Thomas Ricks died in 1908, aged 53.</p><br>
<p>The building served as a private home from 1885 until Mrs. Ricks leased it to the privately owned St. Francis Hospital from 1907 to 1910. While the exterior was unchanged, the interior was modified to support hospital operations. Subsequently, from 1910 to 1925, it became Sequoia Hospital. In 1925 the building was sold to Charles J.A. Nelson who turned it into a boarding house named "The Palms." In 1935, the building became the Y.W.C.A. local chapter headquarters. The Y.W.C.A. owned the house until the late 1980s when College of the Redwoods purchased it.</p><br>
<p>The Simmons Hardware Company Warehouse, also known as the Battery Building, The six-story building covered a whole block and its construction was supervised by Frank Bunker Gilbreth, Sr., the time and motion study pioneer.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building was designed in 1905 for the Simmons Hardware Company of St. Louis to allow the rapid delivery and dispatch of their hardware products. The design is said to be influenced by the Marshall Field&#39;s Wholesale Store in Chicago which was designed by Henry Hobson Richardson in 1887. The Simmons company used the New York company of Gordon, Tracy and Swartwout to do their design. The developer was the unusual Frank Bunker Gilbreth, Sr., who became famous for being the central character in the book "Cheaper By The Dozen.</p><br>
<p>The architects specified that hundreds of 20 ft hardened concrete piles were to be driven in to allow the soft ground to take the weight of the (estimated) two million bricks required to construct the building. Whilst the building was being built a sixth floor and other changes were made to the design. The bricks alone would have required over 250 railway cars to transport them and another 450 cars were also required to transport other building materials. The railway cars were of course easy to source as the building had its own railroad switching facilities.</p><br>
<p>The 123 ft clock tower was designed to and would become an important landmark. The building was intended to be an "ornament" and the tower was intended to convey importance and the 12 numbers on the clockface were intended to be replaced by the letters T-R-O-Q-R-L-A-T-P-I-F. This abbreviation was to signify the Simmons motto which was "The recollection of quality remains long after the price is forgotten."</p><br>
<p>The company was the first to establish a nationwide brand for hardware which they supplied via warehouses in six states across America. Other warehouses were in New York, Iowa, Minnesota, Ohio, and a four storey building in Wichita, Kansas. The warehouses stock consisted of many items, including ammunition, knives, wires, and even dog collars. The company said that, "If you cant eat it, and it dont pour or fold, its hardware". Salesmen were not only employed to sell all products, but they also had specialist salespeople.</p><br>
<p>The company had used an aggressive system of business where it aimed to buy up its suppliers so that it had the choice of best machinery and they could give priority to their needs. In the 1920 the Winchester Repeating Arms Company decided to diversify to include knives and hardware. They bought companies and also merged with the Simmons Hardware Company. During the 1920s this warehouse would have been at the disposal of the merged Winchester and Simmons company. The Winchester and Keen Kutter brands did good business during the 1920s but in 1929 they agreed to separate and Simmons and this building returned to their core business.</p><br>
<h2>After hardware</h2><br>
<p>There were multiple owners of the warehouse throughout the years. It was owned by the Kollman-Warner Seed Company in 1939 and the Sioux City Battery Corporation in 1944. Sioux City-based farm retailer Bomgaars bought the building in 1973 and used it as a warehouse and for its corporate offices.</p><br>
<p>The Bomgaars headquarters moved out in 2005 and in 2007, it was planned that the warehouse to be converted into condominiums, offices, and a restaurant. The project would have been completed with a $10.5 million budget. The owners, Roger and Jane Bomgaars, who owned the retail chain Bomgaars, partnered with developers from Omaha, Nebraska with plans to complete the restoration. The plans required city authorities to grant additional tax breaks and to make land available for parking.</p><br>
<p>In 2013, the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino announced plans to open a Sioux City location, situating casino offices on the third floor of the warehouse, along with a 54-room boutique hotel taking the top two floors. The main floor of the warehouse now features the Hotel lobby, and two restaurants. A new casino adjoins the historic brick building. Plans evolved to move the hotel inside the historic building and for a 60-foot illuminated guitar to adorn the roof of the structure. Both the casino and hotel opened on August 1, 2014.</p><br>
<p>The Lane Hotel, also known as the Hotel Mathews and The White Dog Inn, is a historic inn and tavern located at Mathews, Mathews County, Virginia. It was built about 1840, and is a 2 1/2-story, rectangular frame building with an adjoining kitchen. It features a prominent two-story Greek Revival front porch added in 1916 and a three-part, semi-circular window under the front gable known as a "Billups" Window. Also added in 1916 to the east and west of the original building are two-story square wings. The building was moved back from Grove street an approximate distance of 25 feet in 1916.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<p>Donk&#39;s Theatre was a historic movie theater located at Hudgins, Mathews County, Virginia.</p><br>
<h2>History and description</h2><br>
<p>Donks Theatre was built in 1946–1947, and was a vernacular rectangular building constructed of rusticated cinder and concrete block, painted white and cream with Art Deco style details. The building measured 50 feet by 100 feet, and consisted of the central theatre entrance, storefronts, and a 504-seat auditorium. The theater operated as a segregated venue for motion pictures until passage of federal civil rights legislation in 1964. In the following years the movie business was declining and the theater closed in 1970. It reopened in 1975, as a live country music concert hall. On January 22, 2016, the roof of Donks collapsed due to heavy snowfall from a winter storm, as did several of the outside walls. Little survived, and what remained required demolition; the owners said that they would save the marquee.</p><br>
<p>The theater was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011,</p><br>
<p>The Kong Lung Store, in Kilauea, Hawaii was originally built, in, to be the Kilauea Plantation store. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<p>It is a 117 x building, the last stone building built by the Kilauea Sugar Company, built of field stone up to its lower gable level, that was a replacement for a previous wood building.</p><br>
<p>It is deemed significant as an example of masonry construction in Kilauea, usually used for domestic architecture, here adapted for a commercial building. And it is significant for association with the sugarcane plantation and the provision of goods to its workers as a plantation store. The store was managed independently from the plantation, by Chew Lung, son of Lung Wan Chee (b. 1860) who managed the first, predecessor store. It was originally open from 2am to 5am, operated by workers who then went to work in the plantation fields.</p><br>
