<p>Seven Oaks is located in Bluffton, South Carolina. It was built in 1850. This is a two-story house with double verandas on the south and east sides and two exterior chimneys. The house is called Seven Oaks due to seven very large live oak stumps that support the house. Some of the original interior details remain; there is a visible line running east to west down the center of the northeast parlor floor indicating that an addition was made at some time.</p><br>
<p>The first owner of the house was Colonel Middleton Stuart and his wife, Emma Barnwell Stoney. In 1866 the property was sold to Frances Marion Edward; subsequently, it was owned by Ephraim Mikell Baynard, then E. L Harrison and later by the Baynard family of Hilton Head Island.</p><br>
<p>In the 1920s, Mrs. Elizabeth Sanders operated Seven Oaks as a popular and successful boarding house for salesmen and summer visitors.</p><br>
<p>After a complete renovation which began in 2007, the house was home to a civil war museum before being sold in 2012 as a private home.</p><br>
<p>The Leport–Toupin House, at 503 E. Telegraph St. in Carson City, Nevada, is a historic simplified-Second Empire-style house that was built in 1879. It was converted to a pre-school in 1969. Also known as the Hawkins House, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant for its architecture and also for its association with Alexander Leport (1837–1885), a French-born businessman who came to Carson City in 1879 and developed grocery, saloon, drugstore, barber shop and other businesses. He arranged for the house to be built in anticipation of his 1880 marriage to Frenchwoman Mary Blavee. In 1891, six years after Leports death, Mary Leport married Edmond S. Toupin, a French-Canadian who took over Leports businesses. In 1907 ownership of the house passed to Theodore Perry Hawkins and his wife, Clara.</p><br>
<p>The house is one of few Second Empire houses in Carson City, and the only one in its east side residential area.</p><br>

<p>In 1976, the school building was moved to a site near the intersection in Reno, and in 1993, it was moved again, to its current location, part of the Victorian Square development in Sparks.</p><br>
<p>The Cowan Creek Circular Enclosure  is an earthworks complex in the southwestern part of the USA state of Ohio. Named for its location near the stream known as Cowan Creek, the enclosure is an important archaeological site, and it is protected as part of a state park.</p><br>
<p>The Cowan Creek Circular Enclosure is not easily visible to the average observer on the ground. A survey conducted in 1949 observed that the enclosure was approximately 90 ft wide, but even at that time, it had virtually no height; the only practical method of observing the site&#39;s extent was via aerial photography. This mound was part of a substantially larger group: more than twenty burial mounds were located along Cowan Creek near the enclosure, but little is known about most of them: by the time that Raymond Baby was leading the Cowan Creek Mound excavation, a dam on the creek had been completed, and the water levels of a reservoir covered the mounds before most could be investigated. The entire group remains beneath the surface of Cowan Lake to the present day, except for the enclosure.</p><br>
<p>Today, the Circular Enclosure lies near the shore of Cowan Lake; the underwater site of the Cowan Creek Mound is only about 300 ft away, and the enclosure lies in the middle of a peninsula in the lake. The site is now located within Cowan Lake State Park, slightly less than 1 mi south of the present State Route 730. Officials have sought to allow the site and surrounding lands to return to the condition in which they existed before the region was settled. As a result, the site has never been subjected to intensive professional testing; archaeologists accordingly are unaware of whether any additional sites, such as a village location, might be nearby. In 1974, the Cowan Creek Circular Enclosure was listed on the National Register of Historic Places because of its value as an archaeological site. Four other Clinton County archaeological sites are listed on the Register: the Beam Farm Woodland Archaeological District, and the Hillside Haven, Hurley, and Keiter Mounds.</p><br>

The former manufacturing complex includes the oldest factory building in the city, and its renovation has been credited with making High Point a successful furniture exhibition center. A 16-story addition in 1990 is one of the city&#39;s tallest buildings.</p><br>
<h2>History of Tomlinson Chair</h2><br>
<p>Sidney Halstead Tomlinson Sr. started Tomlinson Chair Manufacturing Company in October 1900 in High Point, North Carolina, with 12 employees. The business was originally chartered under the name of Tomlinson of High Point, and operations started on January 1, 1901, with just 18,000 square feet of space its inaugural year. Sidney Tomlinsons brother Charles F. Tomlinson joined the company as secretary and treasurer in June 1904. The two brothers played major roles in starting the citys YMCA, chamber of commerce and library, and Emerywood Country Club. Tomlinson Chair was one of the first companies to make matching dining room suites. The companys styles included 19th Century French, English and American. Tomlinson was one of the first companies to show furniture in gallery style. According to a 1945 article in North Carolinas The State magazine, "In order to show fine furniture to advantage, Tomlinsons devised displays in gallery form, thus originating a method which has affected the whole furniture industry, as display in galleries has developed into a center about which the manufacture and sales of distinctive furniture now resolve." High Points success as a furniture manufacturing city was "due in large measure to the success and leadership of the Tomlinson Chair Manufacturing Company", which was "one of the nations largest, most profitable and most innovative furniture factories." The term "Tomlinson Quality" was trademarked.</p><br>
<p>Members of the Lambeth family were among the founders of Standard Chair Company in Thomasville, North Carolina, in 1898; the plant was the oldest in town in 1990. James Erwin Lambeth and his wife Katherine Covington "K.C." Lambeth started Erwin-Lambeth. The company added a new plant in 1947. Rod Lambeth bought Tomlinson Chair in 1987 and Erwin-Lambeth in 1989.</p><br>
<p>In 2001, Tomlinson/Erwin-Lambeth, based in Thomasville, bought Directional Furniture. The companies were known for their "higher end" traditional furniture.</p><br>
<p>Prior to Fall 2005, when the company moved to its own building, Tomlinson/Erwin-Lambeth had its showroom in the complex where Tomlinson once made furniture.</p><br>
<p>Tomlinson/Erwin-Lambeth now makes upholstered furniture and occasional pieces.</p><br>
<h2>History of Market Square</h2><br>
<p>The Tomlinson Chair Manufacturing Company Complex was built between 1900 and 1927, with another addition in 1946. It includes the oldest factory building still standing in High Point, built between 1902 and 1906. A group of five-story buildings built between 1902 and 1911 are described as "brick Italianate industrial buildings with large segmental door and window arches."</p><br>
<p>A five-story building built between 1924 and 1927 served as offices and showrooms and was later renovated for showrooms and a restaurant. Also part of the complex were a smokestack and water tower. The older buildings were still used for manufacturing until the 1970s.</p><br>
<p>In July 1981, a group of businessmen bought Market Square opened for the Spring 1982 Furniture Market. Jake Froelich, one of the owners, hoped furniture manufacturers would move their showrooms to the city. When Froelich died at 72 in 2003, a Greensboro News & Record editorial said, "His far-sighted notion to remake an aging factory into Market Square forever changed the face of the Furniture City."</p><br>
<p>The Tomlinson Chair Manufacturing Company Complex was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983 because it is "an intact example of the physical evolution of North Carolina furniture manufacturing plants during the first half of the 20th century." Features include "windows, its arched entrances, metal water tower, steel ceiling beams and wooden support beams." The nomination form said, "On both its interior and exterior, the Tomlinson Chair Manufacturing Co. complex provides a well-preserved example of the growth and development of the early 20th-century furniture manufacturing industry in North Carolina." The 1983 listing included two contributing buildings and one other contributing structure on 4 acres.</p><br>
<p>The conversion of the Tomlinson complex has been given as a major reason for High Point&#39;s success as a furniture exhibition center.</p><br>
<p>In 1990, a 16-story $16 million addition to Market Square opened, with showrooms on the first five floors, nineteen condominiums on the top four floors, and office space in the middle.</p><br>
<p>In 1998, Merchandise Mart Properties, a subsidiary of Vornado Realty Trust, of New Jersey, bought Market Square for $100 million from George Lyles, S. Davis Phillips and Froelich, who remained as general manager. With 1.05 million square feet and plans for a 345,000-square-foot addition, Market Square was already High Point&#39;s second-largest showroom complex, with five restaurants, four exhibition areas, and walkways to a Holiday Inn and other showrooms. In December, the Guilford County Historic Preservation Commission agreed to allow the demolition of a drying kiln section built in 1946 in order to build the three-story addition on the West Commerce Street side, but the brick floor and handrail tracks would be preserved. So would a brick wall which was an exterior wall of the factory before the addition of the drying kiln. A brick facade in the new section would match the rest of the building. The Suites at Market Square opened in April 2000. As part of the expansion, a "nonworking replica" of a water tower was added which looked like the one used during the Tomlinson days, except with "The Suites at Market Square". The city objected, calling this a sign which violated city rules, but after negotiation, the city changed the rules to allow historic buildings to have signs.</p><br>
<p>In Spring 2010, Merchandise Mart Properties announced $1.5 million in renovations which included preserving the complex&#39;s history.</p><br>
<p>Also in 2010, the High Point holdings of Merchandise Mart Properties went into receivership. High Point Acquisition Co. bought the properties in 2011, including Market Square and National Furniture Mart, for $139.5 million. The deal represented 2.1 million square feet of space.</p><br>
<p>At a press conference on May 3, 2011, World Market Center CEO Bob Maricich and other officials of a new company announced the consolidation of what had been competing showroom facilities. International Market Centers (IMC), owned by Bain Capital and Oaktree Capital, with headquarters in both High Point and Las Vegas, bought the International Home Furnishings Center, Market Square and Showplace, representing about two-thirds of the city&#39;s 10 million square feet of showroom space.</p><br>

In 1765 John Schwarbach, who apparently was temporarily rendering pastoral services, conveyed 3 acre of land to Peter Painter and Jacob Shaffer, trustees of this church. The church was first called the “Hoxbiehl” or “Hacksbill” (Hawksbill), later “Comer’s Church” due to so many members by that name, and lastly “Mount Calvary.” This church was first served by the Pennsylvania Ministerium, Bathaser Sauer having attended a convention as a lay delegate. In 1813, it was one of the five valley churches to unite with the Evangelical Lutheran North Carolina Synod, and in 1820 it joined the Evangelical Lutheran Tennessee Synod.</p><br>
<p>Mount Calvary was originally a union church shared by members of the Lutheran and Reformed faiths. The insistence on conducting all church functions in the German language led to the cancellation of the union agreement in 1832, when the Reformed people formed a separate congregation.</p><br>
<p>The church served an active congregation until 1959, when regular services ceased.</p><br>
<p>Mount Calvary was the mother church of five other congregations in Page County that were organized, directly or indirectly, from her membership: Morning Star (organized 29 November 1873), Grace (organized 10 March 1877), St. Mark’s (organized 1876), St. James’ (Rileyville, organized 1884), and Beth Eden (organized 31 December 1896).</p><br>

<h2>Church buildings</h2><br>
<p>It is not known in what year a church was first built on this site. However, on August 6, 1765, Johannes Schwarbach, who apparently was temporarily rendering pastoral services, conveyed 3 acre of land to Peter Painter and Jacob Shaffer, trustees of the church.</p><br>
<p>The old log church stood in front of and to the right of the present building. In 1937, one could still see where the ground had been disturbed for the foundation. It was rectangular in shape, with two front entrances. It was used not only as a church, but also as a school. Near the old church and on the lower side of the. graveyard was a two-story log building that was also used as a school.</p><br>
<p>The current structure is the third church at the location, and was constructed in 1848. The building is a two-story rectangular brick structure with a metal gable roof.
