<p>The Cactus Motor Lodge, later known as the Cactus RV Park, was a motel located along historic USA Route 66 in Tucumcari, New Mexico. I.E. and Edna Perry built the lodge in 1941. The motel included three wings of units forming a "U" shape and an office, the latter of which was a dance hall when the motel opened. In 1952, Norm Wegner purchased the motel; Wegner added an artificial stone exterior to the buildings and converted the dance hall to an office. After Route 66 was decommissioned, the motel lost much of its business, and by the 1990s it became an RV park; the motel units fell into disuse. The motels neon sign was restored in 2008. In October 2018, the sign was sold and removed to be relocated to an Albuquerque neon-sign park. Many other items were sold off before the owners sold the property itself to OReilly Auto Parts. O&#39;Reilly razed all structures before beginning construction of their store at the location.</p><br>
<p>The motel was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 21, 2006.</p><br>
<p>The Acoma Curio Shop is a former souvenir shop located on historic USA Route 66 in San Fidel, New Mexico. The store built in 1916 by Abdoo Fidel, a Lebanese immigrant, and was originally a general store. In 1937, Fidel began to sell Native American curios to tourists passing through San Fidel on Route 66. Fidel&#39;s shop only sold curios crafted at the Acoma Pueblo, unlike most souvenir shops at the time, which generally sold replica souvenirs or curios made by multiple tribes. In 1941, Fidel closed the curio shop and began selling general goods again. The building now houses an art gallery called Gallery 66.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 7, 2009.</p><br>

<p>The Doan House is a historic residence in the city of Wilmington, Ohio, United States. Constructed in the middle of the nineteenth century for a local medical official, it was for many years the home of one of the citys prominent lawyers. The houses prominent location at the city&#39;s edge and its distinctive architecture have made it a local landmark, and it has been designated a historic site.</p><br>
<h2>Building history</h2><br>
<p>The Doan House was constructed in 1840 as the home of James Wilson, who with his wife Eleanor was the superintendent of the Clinton County Infirmary from 1836 until 1840. In 1869, the property was purchased by Azariah Doan, a prominent Wilmington lawyer and Civil War veteran. During the time that the Doans owned the house, they modernized it by adding numerous Italianate features to the original Federal-style components. For much of its history, the Doan House was a prominent travellers landmark, as it was the citys easternmost house and the first or last portion of the city to be reached by those travelling into or out of the city&#39;s eastern side.</p><br>
<h2>Azariah Doan</h2><br>
<p>Azariah Doan was born at Wilmington in 1824 and distinguished himself in childhood as a diligent student. At the age of twenty-two, he was admitted to the bar, and he split the following fifteen years between private practice and service as a deputy clerk and prosecutor for Clinton County. Upon the outbreak of the Civil War, he volunteered for military service and was appointed an officer of the 79th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, of which he was the colonel during the final year of the war. Upon the conclusion of the war, Doan returned to his native city, where within months he ran successfully as a Republican for the Ohio Senate; following two years of service in Columbus, he returned home and practiced law privately until election as a common pleas court judge in 1875. In private life, Doan was married for seven years to the former Amanda Stratton, who died of cholera, and later for many years to the former Martha Taylor, who bore him six children. Despite his military service, Doan was a leader in a local Monthly Meeting of Friends; he was also a Mason and a post commander for the Grand Army of the Republic. He died in 1911.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Built on a stone foundation, the Doan House features stuccoed walls and an asbestos roof. Built according to a design by James Wilson, its earliest resident, the house is built in the Federal style. Later modifications included the construction of a thoroughly Italianate front porch and the installation of a circular dormer window. Today, the latter feature is the houses most distinctive element; it is Wilmingtons only residence with a circular dormer window. Wilmington is not the only city in the region in which such features are rare; a circular dormer window tops the facade of the Barney Kelley House in Washington Court House to the northeast, making it that city&#39;s only residence with such a window.</p><br>
<h2>Recognition</h2><br>
<p>In 1979, the Doan House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of its historic architecture and its place as the home of Judge Doan. It was the city&#39;s third building to be listed on the National Register; the Rombach Place near downtown was listed on the same day, and College Hall on the Wilmington College campus preceded both buildings by six years.</p><br>
<p>Solitude is a historic home located on the campus of Virginia Polytechnic Institute at Blacksburg, Montgomery County, Virginia. The earliest section was built about 1802, and expanded first in circa 1834 and then in the 1850s by Col. Robert Preston, who received the land surrounding Solitude from his father, Virginia Governor James Patton Preston. Dating back over 200 years, Solitude is the oldest building on the Virginia Tech Blacksburg campus.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story, L-shaped, five bay, log and frame dwelling with a hipped roof. Mid 19th century modifications gave the farmhouse a Greek Revival look. Also on the property are the contributing stone spring house with log superstructure and an outbuilding built in about 1844 and renamed in 2019 by the Virginia Tech Board of Visitors as the Fraction Family House at Solitude. This new name recognizes its usage as a dwelling for the largest enslaved population living on the site and symbolically recognizes all enslaved at Solitude. In 1872, the 250 acre Solitude farm became the part of the central campus of Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College, serving primarily as the colleges farm. The farm house, after the death of its owner, Robert Taylor Preston, in the following decade, served as a college infirmary from 1882 to 1886. It, as well as the Fraction Family House, was then used as faculty housing for the next 60 years. In the 1940s it briefly was a clubhouse for returning World War II veterans who lived in a trailer park surrounding the building while attending Virginia Polytechnic Institute. At that time, dances regularly were held in Solitudes two front parlors. In the 1960s and 1970s, Solitude was used by the Hokie Club in addition to housing faculty in two apartments. Academic programs started using the building in 1974. For some time, Solitude housed a human nutrition and food laboratory and interior design studios and offices. Its last occupant was the Appalachian Studies Program, which has returned following the restoration of the building. Also located in the building is the Henry H. Wiss Center for Theory and History of Art and Architecture. Solitude had been vacant for many years prior to a $1 million (~$ in ) restoration that began in July 2010 and lasted half-a-year. Much of the project was funded by the Mary Morton Parsons Foundation of Richmond, Va.</p><br>
<p>The house is situated in a landscaped park adjacent to the central campus of Virginia Polytechnic Institute. It was listed on the Virginia Landmarks Register in 1988 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>After Solitudes listing on NRHP, decade-long research and archaeology commenced to further study the main house, property, and overall site to extrapolate further historical information and evaluate what would be needed to restore the house and outbuildings. These efforts culminated in a 2000 Masters thesis by Michael Pulice, a then-Masters of Science candidate in Virginia Techs Architecture Department, now the chief architectural historian for the Western Regional office (Salem, VA) of the Virginia Department of Historic Resources. Pulice concluded in his thesis that the remaining log outbuilding, long believed to be either a doctor&#39;s office or kitchen, is a surviving slave cabin and servants quarters.</p><br>
<p>The Rombach Place is a historic house in the city of Wilmington, Ohio, United States. Built in the first third of the nineteenth century, it was home to a family that produced two prominent national politicians. No longer used as a residence, the house is now a museum, and it has been named a historic site.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Robert Wickersham built the Rombach Place in 1831. It was later home to the family of James W. Denver, a politician who achieved national prominence in the middle of the century.</p><br>
<p>James Denver was born in Winchester, Virginia in 1817, and at the age of thirty-nine he married the former Louise Rombach of Wilmington; to this union were born four children. Much of his youth was spent on a farm near Wilmington, but he later moved far to the west, serving as a USA Representative from California, a governor of the Kansas Territory (a new settlement in the far west of the territory, now part of Colorado, was named for him), as the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, and as a USA Army general during the Civil War. However, after the war, he returned to Wilmington for a time. In 1870, while he and his family were resident in the Rombach Place, their youngest son was born; named Matthew, he was later elected a USA Representative from Ohio.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Built in the Greek Revival style of architecture, the primary portion of the house is two stories tall and five bays wide. An entrance is located in the middle bay of the first floor, covered by a small portico with a pediment and four square columns. Smaller windows and prominent chimneys are located on the ends of the house, to which are attached one-bay, single-story sections. Built in the shape of the letter "T", the house is constructed of brick and covered with a shingled roof that rises to a pair of gables; the walls are covered with stucco, and a fence encircles the roofs of the single-story sections on the ends.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>Today, the Rombach Place is no longer used as a residence: it is the home of the Clinton County Historical Society, which operates it as a museum, genealogy library, and conference center. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, qualifying both because of its historically significant architecture and because of its place as the home of General James Denver. It was the citys third building to be listed on the National Register; the Doan House on the citys east side was listed on the same day, and College Hall on the Wilmington College campus preceded both buildings by six years.</p><br>
<p>Currie House, also known as the Pagoda House, is a historic home located at Blacksburg, Montgomery County, Virginia. It was built in 1961, and is a -story, square, International Style dwelling constructed of wood, glass, and brick. It features an extensive roof overhang that is underscored by a deck that encircles the building. The interior has an open-plan room arrangement surrounding a central brick chimney and service core. The architect, Leonard Currie , was a student and colleague of Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer. Leonard Currie was head of the Architecture School at Virginia Tech from 1956 to 1966.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<p>The Galena Creek Schoolhouse in Washoe County, Nevada, in Reno, is a historic schoolhouse that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<p>It is located just south of Galena Creek near Callahan Park.</p><br>
<p>Nevada&#39;s most famous poet of the 1960s and 1970s, Joanne de Longchamps lived in the schoolhouse in 1975 and wrote a book of poetry named "The Schoolhouse Poems". In 1974 Joanne wrote “Three years ago Galen and I acquired (at an auction from the School District ) an acre of land at timberline. It lies under the dominion of Mount Rose and Galena Creek. In one corner of this acre is the schoolhouse – a one room building of hand-cut local stone. To my knowledge, this is the third schoolhouse to stand on or near this site. The first was built when the town of Galena thrived in the 1860s, a timbering town (no longer in existence) that supplied the mines of Virginia City."</p><br>
<p>Mount Rose K-8 School of Languages, formerly Mount Rose Elementary School, is a public K-8 school at 915 Lander St. in Reno, Nevada, operated by the Washoe County School District. It occupies a historic Mission/Spanish Revival-style facility that was built in 1912 and extended in 1938. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977 under the name Mount Rose Elementary.</p><br>
<p>The school is "a rare example" of Mission Revival style surviving in the Reno area.</p><br>
<p>Some students zoned to Mount Rose are also zoned to Swope Middle School and Reno High School. Others are zoned to Clayton Middle School or Vaughn Middle School and Earl Wooster High School.</p><br>
<p>The Alekoko Fishpond, known locally as the Menehune Fishpond, near Līhuʻe, Hawaii, on the island of Kauai, is a historic Hawaiian fishpond. Also known as Alakoko Fishpond, it has been listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places since 1973.</p><br>
<p>The pond is bounded by a 900 feet at a large bend in Hulēia River. It has been deemed "the most significant fishpond on Kauai, both in Hawaiian legends and folklore and in the eyes Kauai&#39;s people today". As the largest fishpond on Kauai, it is estimated to have been constructed in the 15th century, and may be the first brackish-water fishpond in the Hawaiian Islands. Its construction is traditionally attributed to the Menehune, a mythical people said to have inhabited Hawaii before the arrival of the Hawaiians.</p><br>
<p>It was first listed on the USA National Register in 1973; the listing included one contributing site and one contributing structure. In 2021 it was purchased by The Trust for Public Land and conveyed to Mālama Hulēia, which has been restoring the land since 2018. Restoration projects have included removing 26 acres of invasive mangrove and rebuilding a rock wall.</p><br>
<p>The Haraguchi Rice Mill, on Ohiki Road in Hanalei, Hawaii, on Kauai, is one of five former rice mills in Hanalei Valley. It was built in 1930 and was a corrugated iron structure on a concrete pad. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register in 1983; the listing included one contributing structure and four contributing objects. The listing was shortly after 1982 Hurricane Iwa had collapsed the rice mill structure. Heavy machinery including an engine were not significantly harmed, however, and it was then thought that the structure could be restored.</p><br>
<h2>Origin</h2><br>
<p>The majority of the extraordinary buildings in the community Hanalei of Hawaii were built during the rice era started in the 1860s. This was a farming area where there were mostly flat lands and agriculture was the main industry, there were crops like tobacco, coffee, and sugarcane. In 1884 there was an increase in Chinese farmers, who started leasing lands which made rice become the main economic crop eventually. The Haraguchi Rice Farm was founded in Hanalei by Ine and Tomijiro Haraguchi. Along with being the largest rice farmers, they also took part in fishing the water of Hanalei Bay. The Haraguchi Rice Mill was reconstructed in 1930. It was a one-room shack that had sections for milling, and engine operation and an area for the storage of processed and unprocessed rice. It had an apex-style metal roof. The Haraguchi Rice Mill was shut down in 1960, which made it the last mill out of the five rice mills to be closed in Hawaii. This was due to competition from the United States and damage done by the rice birds, which eventually made the Haraguchi Rice Mill unprofitable.</p><br>
<h2>Rice production in Hanalei</h2><br>
<p>Approximately 4 months after planting rice is ready to be harvested. The rice farmers in Hanalei did not have much time to rest, they planted rice all year round and when the work got intensive farmers would pool together and help each other. The rice seeds were planted into seedbeds and incorporated with organic manure 3 inches high, within several days the seeds germinate into seedlings. The most prominent rice pest in Hanalei was the Chinese Sparrow, also called the Nutmeg Manikins. They would drank the milk from the rice as it matured and ate the kernels as well. These birds had to be scared away by cans filled with stone which made noise as they pitched on the strings connecting them. The Hanalei River running through the Hanalei Valley made agricultural production more feasible due to the readily available water supply. This river was available to almost everyone on this Pacific island because of its heavy flow of fresh water.</p><br>
<h2>Hawaii rice economy</h2><br>
<p>The Haraguchi Rice Mill played a huge role in the agricultural history of Hanalei. Rice was first cultivated on the island by the Chinese first and taken over by the Japanese years after. In 1879 farmers were getting approximately $15 to $18 per bag. The Japanese rice was planted mainly for home consumption, while the Chinese rice was exported or shipped elsewhere.</p><br>
<h2>Natural disasters</h2><br>
<p>The Haraguchi Rice Mill was rebuilt in 1930 after it was destroyed by a fire in March of that year. Following this disaster, in 1959 Hurricane Dot damaged the roof and air vent of the milling machine at the Haraguchi Rice Mill. Then in 1982 the mill was massively destroyed by Hurricane Iwa in the month of November. The whole milling house collapsed onto the milling machine which was safe and ready to mill again. In 1992 Hurricane Iniki passed over this disaster prone farm site once again.</p><br>
<h2>Legacy</h2><br>
<p>The Haraguchi Rice Mill was the fifth rice mill in Hanalei of Hawaii. It impacted families and communities in and around the island. Even though it has gone through many disasters during its time of maximum production, Haraguchi Rice Mill contributed to the islands economy where it provided jobs, increased foreign exchange earnings and established rice as a staple food for the Chinese and Japanese farmers. Today the farm has no rice on it but instead it has taro and it is a non-profit business that is facilitates personal development for schools and offer back to nature visits. This farm now makes traditional dishes freshly from taro, which is harvested straight off the farm. It still embraces its originality and traditional values in 2019.</p><br>
<p>Currently the Haraguchi Farm is still own today by the Haraguchi family sixth generation, this farm is going over 100 year old. On the farm presently they have taro production; also this farm in Hanalei, Hawaii is utilized as a back to nature tour, where it&#39;s a non-profit entity. The Haraguchi Farm is now used to serve the Hawaii Island as a recreational center for tours such as schools and other tourists, in the same breathe Hawaiian students are train how to grow and harvest taro. Taro cultivation also supports small businesses in and around the community of Hanalei. From taro the by-products and other ancient dishes are made, which as a lucrative market within the community. Today the Haraguchi Family Farm is still in progress.</p><br>

<p>The Magnolia Hotel was built in 1847 to serve as a lodging establishment. It is thought to be the oldest surviving hotel on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The hotel was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, and was designated a Mississippi Landmark in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Magnolia Hotel was constructed for John Hahn, who operated a coffeehouse in New Orleans. Originally, the hotel was a -story, wood-frame building with plastered exterior walls that measured 54 ft on each side. The exterior walls were recessed 7 ft. A central hall extended front to back on both floors. The first floor had paired rooms on either side of the hall; the second floor hall had six rooms on either side. The hotel was originally located near the beach, facing south, toward the Mississippi Sound.</p><br>
<p>John Hahn died in 1848, but his wife operated the hotel to accommodate guests from New Orleans, because Biloxi had become a popular resort destination on the Gulf Coast. After the American Civil War, the hotel became a destination for winter guests from northern states, who were attracted by the mild climate. The hotel was operated by descendants of John Hahn through World War II, when it closed.</p><br>
<p>In 1969, Hurricane Camille inflicted considerable damage to the building. Because of the hotel&#39;s historical significance, the city of Biloxi acquired the building in 1972, and moved it to a higher elevation, approximately 100 yd north of its original location. The structure was oriented to face east and was restored. Additional restoration was required to repair damage caused by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.</p><br>
<h2>Biloxi Mardi Gras Museum</h2><br>
<p>As of 2013, the building was being used as Biloxi&#39;s Mardi Gras Museum. In addition to displays of memorabilia from carnival celebrations, the museum documents the history of the Magnolia Hotel.</p><br>
<p>The Chesapeake and Ohio Passenger Depot in Pikeville, Kentucky was built by the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway in 1923. The station along with a small baggage depot nearby were listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 23, 1987.</p><br>
<p>The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway reached Pikeville in 1907. At one point, the depot and baggage station were connected by a canopy, which has since been removed.</p><br>
<p>Until 2015, the building housed the Big Sandy Heritage Center.</p><br>
<p>The building currently houses Roasted - a locally owned coffee house and cafe.</p><br>

<p>The Case Study House No. 28, at 91 Inverness Rd., Thousand Oaks, California, is the only Case Study House in Ventura County. Built during 1965–66, it was listed on the National Register along with several other Case Study Houses in Los Angeles County on July 24, 2013, as part of the "Case Study House Program NPS". was the last family home built in the program and one of the largest at 4,500 square feet. The architects designed the house with classic concept in modern architecture of merging interior and exterior spaces through glass expanses and seamless materials. Face brick was incorporated into the house since it is located on a knoll overlooking a development where this was the unifying material. Previous houses in the program consisted primarily of glass and exposed steel, but the Janss Development Corporation and Pacific Clay Products wanted to demonstrate the advantages of the alternative material.</p><br>
<p>Decorative iron gates at the entrance frame the center courtyard that has a swimming pool. Along with the brick face, the house has more than 4,000 square feet of glass windows that are shaded by overhangs. The owners described how they considered installing double paned glass but found it would not fit into the steel frame; the single paned glass makes the house hot in the summer and cold in the winter. Solar panels have been put on the roof along with replacing the asphalt and gravel material, popular at the time the house was constructed, with white foam.</p><br>
<p>When the current owners purchased the house in 1987, the previous owners had shared media coverage about the house with them. In 2013, the owner said to the local press, "I fell in love with the house. I saw it as a work of art."</p><br>

<p>The Thomas Hall House  is a historic home located along the 3000 block of Tyler Road in Christiansburg, near Childress, Montgomery County, Virginia.</p><br>
<p>The original structure was a four-room log dwelling with one staircase and sat in the top right hand corner of the property, near a natural spring and the current main road.</p><br>
<p>Thomas Hall raised the log dwelling up, situated it upon a set of large logs, and rolled the structure to its current location and began expanding the house throughout 1875 and 1876. He added four rooms (a parlor and three bedrooms) in addition to the preexisting kitchen, dining room, and two upstairs bedrooms - sheathing the preexisting log frame and the new addition with board-and-batten siding. Many decades later, with the advent of plumbing and electricity, the milk cooler (which stood behind the kitchen and had also served earlier as a grain room) was converted into a full bathroom, which is still in use to this day.</p><br>
<p>The two-story frame house features a shallow gabled roof that is covered with slate. The three-bay southwest (front) facade incorporates a central door flanked by one sidelight and is sheltered by a large gabled central porch. The porch is supported by four two-storied paneled columns. The second floor balcony is supported by angled struts and features a sawn balustrade. The house features an integral two-story ell and the roof is hipped where the ell and main-block intersect. A two-story brick exterior chimney is situated at each end of the main house with the northwest chimney being a more modern copy of the chimney at the southeast end. A one-story walled-in porch shelters the rear (northeast) of the main house. Originally, the main yard was partially surrounded by a white picket fence. Many years later, this style was replaced by a white board fence incorporating horizontal members. Today, only the left-hand fencerow extending up from the driveway entrance remains. The foundation of the entire house is limestone.</p><br>
<p>The interior features the original staircase in the kitchen, an open-stringer staircase in the center passage, and simple plastered mantels in the flanking rooms.</p><br>
<p>The lawn is sheltered by a pair of river maples symmetrically placed in front of the house and by an aging catalpa tree near the drive to the northwest side of the house. Portions of an ornamental boxwood garden remain to the southeast of the house.</p><br>
<p>A medium-sized frame granary is located to the north of the house and appears to be contemporary with it. The garage across from the granary was built sometime afterwards. A machine shop stood just past the garage at the border of the farm&#39;s hay field. This was destroyed during Hurricane Hugo in 1989. Only the concrete floor remains where the structure once stood.</p><br>
<p>The Thomas Hall House is very significant as an unusual example of a popular regional form. It is one of one sixty-seven frame single-pile, canter-passage houses in the county dating from the mid to late nineteenth century. It is one of very few to be sheathed with board-and-batten siding. The well preserved house demonstrates the influence of pattern books advocating the use of board-and-batten siding for rural residences. The two-story colossal porch and the second-floor balcony are unusual features associated with this form. The house has undergone little alteration and remains in good condition.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the Virginia Landmark Register in 1989.</p><br>
<p>The private Hall Family Cemetery sits near the back left corner of the property along a fence line. There have been fifteen grave plots identified to date, with the most prominent surnames belonging to the families of Hall, Jones, and Chumbley.</p><br>
<p>A well-preserved portion of the original Tyler Road roadbed can be viewed as you approach the home on your left. You can see the original roadbed descending from a slight ridge and it continues parallel to the current road, winding its way through the home&#39;s front yard before the footprint becomes absorbed again by the current road just past the main section of front yard.</p><br>

<p>The building is now home to Hillsboro Community Center.</p><br>
<p>It was the first dedicated four-year high school building in Sierra County and the first secondary school open to all county students. According to a 1994 report on historic resources in the county: "Most students were from Hillsboro but a few came from Kingston, Lake Valley and other Sierra County communities. Students from nearby ranches traveled to school on horseback. Some families rented or purchased homes in Hillsboro so that their children could attend high school. Other students boarded in town and by 1924 a "bachelor hall" was furnished for the convenience of self-supporting students."</p><br>

<p>Meems Bottom Covered Bridge  is a covered bridge in Shenandoah County, Virginia, United States. The bridge, at 204 ft, is the longest covered bridge in Virginia and one of the last that supports regular traffic. Near the town of Mount Jackson, the Meems Bottom Covered Bridge features a 200-foot single-span wooden Burr arch structure. Built in 1892 by Franklin Hiser Wissler, the wooden bridge over the North Fork of the Shenandoah River provided access to his apple orchards at Strathmore Farms. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 10, 1975.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>It is believed that there were at least two prior bridges near Meems Bottom that were lost by flood and fire. The first bridge was likely burned in 1862 by Stonewall Jacksons Rebels, and the second, washed away by floodwaters in 1870. There were likely also other bridges called Meems Bottom Bridge from Meem&#39;s bottomland, an alluvial plain formed by the North Fork of the Shenandoah, across the river to Mt. Jackson.</p><br>
<p>In a pre-dawn raid on October 3, 1864, Confederate Captain John McNeill led anywhere from 30 to 60 Confederate rangers (sources vary as to the number) against roughly 100 Union troopers of the 8th Ohio Cavalry Regiment guarding Meems Bottom, the bridge to Mt. Jackson, a strategic crossing on the Valley Turnpike. The attack lasted just fifteen minutes with most of the Union cavalry captured but McNeill, one of the best-known Confederate partisan raiders, was mortally wounded. He was taken to the house on Rude&#39;s Hill, where his identity was discovered by Union General Sheridan. He was then moved to Harrisonburg where he died.</p><br>
<p>The current Meems Bottom Covered Bridge is the fourth formally recorded bridge across the North Fork of the Shenandoah River at the location. The first bridge was constructed between 1867 and 1868, and was subsequently destroyed by a flood in March 1870. The bridge was replaced by 1871; however, this bridge was destroyed by floodwaters in November 1877. The third bridge was constructed in 1878 and was replaced by the current structure in 1894. Another, earlier bridge at a nearby location was destroyed by General Stonewall Jackson&#39;s troops in 1862 during the American Civil War.</p><br>
<p>The name of the bridge derives from the locally prominent Meem family, which held large tracts of land in the area. The timbers that were used to build the bridge of 1894 were cut from Confederate General Gilbert S. Meem&#39;s former farm, Strathmoor, located nearby.</p><br>
<p>The current bridge is of the Burr Truss design, which was patented by Theodore Burr, brother of USA Vice President Aaron Burr, in 1817. The bridge spans a length of 204 ft across the river, making the bridge the longest still-standing covered bridge in Virginia. Two stone abutments, which extend ten feet below the riverbed, support the bridge on the sides of the river. The rock used in the abutments was gathered from local quarries. The bridge consists of two arches on each side spanning the length of the bridge and joining the abutments 8 ft below the top of the abutments&#39; stone construction. The arches are constructed of three sections each of 7 in by 15 in timbers bolted together. The vertical truss supports and horizontal roof supports are composed of 8 in by 10 in lumber. The diagonal truss supports are 7 in by 9 in timbers. Originally, the floor supports consisted of two 7 in by 12 in beams along the length of the bridge and 4 in by 14 in beams supporting the roadway running from side to side. The bridge was strengthened in 1937 with the addition of steel I-beams running along the length of the bridge and parallel to the roadway supports. A new road surface was also added at this time.</p><br>
<p>The bridge continued to serve traffic until it was destroyed by fire when vandals burned the bridge on October 31, 1976. The original timbers of the bridge were salvaged, however, and the bridge was reconstructed and put back into service by September 1979. The restoration included new concrete piers and steel beams.</p><br>
<p>Meems Bottom Covered Bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 10, 1975. An updated listing was added on April 23, 2008. The bridge is also on the Virginia Landmarks Register and was listed on April 15, 1975. The updated listing was added March 10, 2008.</p><br>
<p>Strathy Hall is an antebellum plantation house located near Richmond Hill in Bryan County, Georgia. It was originally constructed in 1756 by James MacKay, a Scottish Captain serving alongside George Washington under general Ogelthorpe defending the southern boarder from the Spanish.
