<p>The historic Duluth Public Library is a former Carnegie library building at 101 West Second Street in Duluth, Minnesota, United States. It was constructed in 1902 as the first purpose-built facility of the Duluth Public Library. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 for its local significance in the themes of architecture and education. It was nominated for its Neoclassical architecture and association with early community education efforts.</p><br>
<p>Library services relocated to a new downtown facility in 1980, after which the historic library was renovated and converted into an office building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1899, through the efforts of the Duluth Evening Herald, Andrew Carnegie gifted $50,000 for the construction of a library in Duluth. Later that year, the city purchased three lots for $16,000 on which to build the library. By 1900, the city had selected a design by architects Radcliffe & Willoughby, but later decided to go with a design by Adolph F. Rudolph instead.</p><br>
<p>Construction began in 1901, with the cost estimated at $68,900. The cornerstone was laid on July 4, 1901, as part of the Independence Day celebrations. By the end of construction the library cost slightly more than the $75,000 donated by Carnegie. Expenses for the property and furniture were covered separately by the city. The library opened on April 19, 1902.</p><br>
<p>The Duluth Public Library was the first of three Carnegie libraries to open in Duluth, followed by the West Duluth Branch Library in 1912 and the Lincoln Branch Library in 1917. In 1927, an addition was built at the rear of this library to house additional book stacks and other facilities.</p><br>
<p>The Carnegie library served as Duluth&#39;s main library until 1980, when it moved to its new location at 520 West Superior Street. After the library ceased operations, it was renovated and became an office building.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The library is a two-story neoclassical building made of brick and Port Wing brown sandstone. The front of the building features a portico with four Ionic columns topped by a pediment decorated with the letters "DULUTH PUBLIC LIBRARY". The roof features a low circular dome near the center of the building.</p><br>
<p>The stained glass windows were both designed by Anne Weston and manufactured by Louis C. Tiffany Studios. The first window, commissioned in 1893, depicts Minnehaha, a character in Henry Wadsworth Longfellows epic poem The Song of Hiawatha, standing in front of Minnehaha Falls. It was displayed in the Minnesota Building at the 1893 Worlds Columbian Exposition, and then gifted to the Duluth Public Library, which was based out of the Masonic Temple at the time.</p><br>
<p>The Roba Ranch is a pioneer ranch located near the small unincorporated community of Paulina in Crook County, Oregon. The ranch is named for George and Mary Roba, sheep ranchers who acquired the property in 1892. Most of the important ranch buildings were constructed by the Roba family between about 1892 and 1910. Today, the ranch covers 1,480 acre and is privately owned. The ranch was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<h2>Early history</h2><br>
<p>Native Americans lived in Central Oregon for thousands of years before the arrival of Euro-American settlers. The high desert animals, birds, and plants provided food for these early inhabitants. While there are no records of the earliest people to inhabit the area, by the time Euro-Americans began to explore Central Oregon in the middle of the 19th century, the Northern Paiutes and various Sahaptin speaking peoples were using the area around what is now the Roba Ranch.</p><br>
<p>Euro-Americans settlers began arriving in Crook County in the 1860s. The first town in the area was Prineville, Oregon. It was established 1868 as a combined store, saloon, and blacksmith shop. While low annual rainfall limited farming, the area&#39;s open grasslands were ideal for grazing cattle and sheep. Cattle were brought into area by the first settlers. Sheep were introduced a short time later. Most ranches in the area were small parcels granted under the 1862 Homestead Act. However, ranchers let their livestock graze freely across unoccupied public lands. Typically, livestock was left on the open range year around. During the spring and summer, cattle and sheep herds used high elevation pastures in the Ochoco and Blue mountains. Then the herds were driven to lower elevations pastures for the winter. By 1890, there were approximately 300,000 sheep and 40,000 cattle grazing on Central Oregon range land.</p><br>
<h2>Roba family</h2><br>
<p>George Roba was born in Jernye, Czechoslovakia in 1862. He immigrated to the United States in 1882. After arriving in the United States, he worked as a miner in Pennsylvania. While mining, Roba met three Czechoslovakian brothers who introduced him to their sister. He married Maria (“Mary”) Sojka in 1886. Lured by the opportunity to acquire a Homestead Act land grant, Roba moved to Central Oregon in 1888. His wife and young family remained in Pennsylvania while he looked for work in Oregon. Roba found a job as a sheepherder at a ranch near Paulina, Oregon. He herded sheep through the Paulina Valley and along the north fork of the Crooked River. By 1889, George had accumulated a small herd of sheep and earned enough money to send for his family.</p><br>
<p>In 1892, Roba found a ranch near Paulina Creek. The owner wanted to move to the Willamette Valley so Roba was able to purchase the property. The original owner had already built a small ranch house and a barn on the property. This allowed Roba to begin sheep ranching as soon as his family moved to the ranch. By 1895, Roba had built a successful ranch operation with 1,400 sheep. He also had a few head of cattle plus some horses and mules.</p><br>
<p>From 1896 to 1905, there was a range war between cattlemen and sheepherders across much of eastern Oregon. In the Paulina area, the conflict was driven by the Crook County Sheep Shooter Association, a group of cattlemen dedicated to keeping sheep from grazing on public range land. During the worst years of the conflict, as many as 10,000 sheep were slaughtered. The conflict ended in 1906, when the United States Government began issuing grazing permit to control the use of Oregon&#39;s public lands.</p><br>
<p>For the most part, Roba stayed clear of the conflict despite the fact that he had over 2,000 sheep. However, in the fall of 1899 one of his sheep camps was burned. Instead of risking the loss of his sheep to gunmen, Roba began selling his herd. Because livestock prices were high, he made a significant profit which he used to buy a store in Paulina. During this period, he also began to establish a small cattle herd. In 1910, Roba and his sons, Joseph and George Jr. constructed a new ranch house from stone they cut from a quarry on their property. George and Mary lived together on the ranch for another twenty-three years, until Mary died in 1933. When George died in 1939, the Roba&#39;s daughter, Ruby Rose, inherited the ranch.</p><br>
<p>A one-story utility room was added to the northeast corner of the main house in the 1950s. In the 1980s, a new barn, machine shop, and a vehicle and equipment storage building were constructed at the ranch. In 2004, the ranch was sold to Doug and Sue Stocks.</p><br>
<p>Today, there are four original ranch buildings plus one other historic structure remaining at the site. This makes the Roba Ranch one of the few surviving pioneer-era sheep ranches in Central Oregon. Because the remaining ranch complex is typical of late 19th and early 20th century family-run ranching operations, the Roba Ranch was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on 7 November 2007.</p><br>
<h2>Ranch environment</h2><br>
<p>The Roba Ranch covers 1,480 acre. It is mostly grasslands surrounded by rim rocks and gently rolling hills covered in Western juniper and Ponderosa pine trees. There are two year-round streams, Paulina Creek and Roba Creek, that flow south through the property into the Paulina Valley. Both streams are shallow and are less than 30 ft wide at their widest point. The elevation at the historic ranch area is approximately 3,830 ft above sea level.</p><br>
<p>The undeveloped parts of the Roba Ranch are dominated by native vegetation, predominately sagebrush and desert grasses. Common shrubs and wild flowers include bitterbrush, bitterroot, larkspur, and Indian Paintbrush. Western juniper and Ponderosa pine are common on upland slopes.</p><br>
<p>The ranch supports a wide variety of wildlife including mule deer, pronghorn antelope, coyote, American badger, jackrabbits, squirrels, and chipmunks. Bird species native to the area include sage grouse, mountain quail, mountain chickadees, pygmy nuthatch, great horned owls, hawks, and golden eagles.</p><br>
<h2>Structures</h2><br>
<p>The ranch house was built in 1910. It is a -story rustic Victorian style building. The building&#39;s foundation is tuff-stone. The same stone was used to construct the first story structure. The upper level and roof are wood framed. The house has a high gabled roof with two brick chimneys and six gable dormers, three on the front and three on the back. The center dormers on the front and back of the house are larger than the outer dormers. The front porch runs the length of the building and is supported by square wooden posts. There is a second-story balcony above the porch. The dormers and the top portions of the main gable ends of the house are finished with fishscale wood shingles. There are Victorian style details on the second-story frieze, fascia boards, and support brackets around the dormers. The windows on the main level of the house are double-hung wood windows. The front dormers have tall, double-hung, two-over-two wood sash windows, while the rear dormers have simple casement windows. In the 1950s, a one-story addition was built onto northeast corner of the house. The addition has a gabled roof with board-and-batten siding. The main entrance to the ranch house is at the north end of the addition. Inside, on the first floor of the original house, there is a large living room, kitchen, dining room, and bathroom. The one-story addition houses a sun porch, walk-in cooler, mud-room, and a small bathroom. Upstairs there are four bedrooms and a bathroom.</p><br>
<p>The original barn, built sometime around 1888–1889, is the oldest structure on the ranch. The barn&#39;s footprint is 52 ft by 26 ft. It has a log-frame with a gable roof. The roof was originally covered with wood shingles, but at some point the shingles were replaced with corrugated metal. The structure has vertical siding made up of random-width boards. The south side of the barn has a lean-to shed attached. The barn interior is open space with a dirt floor. The building is supported by 14 in by 14 in timber posts, resting on tuff-stone blocks. There are built-in chicken coops and a storage area at the north end of the barn. The south end has a feed troughs and area for saddles and tack.</p><br>
<p>The pump house was built next to Roba Creek about 1900. The footprint of the pump house is 5 ft by 10 ft. It is a simple wooden structure with wood framing, wood-plank floor, vertical wooden siding, and a gable roof covered with wooden shingles.</p><br>
<p>The privy is located in the corral area, near the barn. It was built sometime around 1900. It is a simple 4 ft by 4 ft wooden structure with 1 in by 11 in rough-sawn vertical siding. It has a gable roof with a south facing door.</p><br>
<p>The historic corrals and fences are located at the top of a hill, north of the ranch house and barn. The corral area includes wooden fences and cattle chutes built in the late 1890s. Most fence posts are peeled juniper logs, approximately 8 in in diameter. The fences have four rough-sawn pine cross-rails, each 8 in wide. Rock cribs made of rough-cut logs filled with rocks are used to anchor and support fence lines.</p><br>
<p>The ranch complex also includes three non-historic buildings: a vehicle and equipment storage building, a machine shop, and a new barn. All of these buildings were constructed in the 1980s. The vehicle and equipment storage building has a wood-frame sheathed in board-and-batten siding. It has a shallow gable roof covered wooden shingle. The machine shop is a wood-frame building with corrugated metal walls and sheet metal roof. Half of the front side of the building is open while the other half is enclosed with a roll-up door. The new barn is a long, gable-roof building with a wood-frame, vertical wooden siding, and corrugated metal roof. One of the barn&#39;s gable ends has large doors for easy access.</p><br>

<p>The Herbert S. Ford Memorial Museum is a museum of local history and culture housed in the former Claiborne Hotel at 519 South Main Street in Homer in Claiborne Parish in North Louisiana. The Homer Chamber of Commerce is headquartered inside the two-story museum, which is located across the historic town square from the Claiborne Parish Courthouse.</p><br>
<h2>History of museum</h2><br>
<p>Listed as a contributing property of the National Register of Historic Places, the museum has housed the collection of Homer businessman Herbert Ford (1889-1960) since 1982. Prior to that, the collection first started in 1924 had been in a variety of locations. Ford a United States Army infantry captain during World War I. Ford and his wife, the former Ruth Meadows (1895-1996), lost a son at sea during World War II.</p><br>
<h2>Cotton and petroleum</h2><br>
<p>The museum claims to hold the oldest compressed bale of cotton in existence in the United States. This cotton was baled about 1930. A similar bale is displayed at the Louisiana Cotton Museum in Lake Providence in East Carroll Parish in the farm-rich delta section west of the Mississippi River in northeastern Louisiana.</p><br>
<p>"Black Gold", a replica of an oilfield roughneck, a general laborer who loads and unloads cargo from crane baskets and keeps the drilling equipment clean, is located next to the cotton exhibit. The roughneck was employed in the early 1930s by the Sinclair Oil and Gas Company. A recording explains how a farm family growing primarily cotton and corn faced economic travail in Mississippi but relocated to Claiborne Parish to benefit from opportunities in the oil and natural gas boom. "Oil changed our lives forever. We owe a lot to the men, mud, and mules that made it happen," concludes the recorded message. In 1921, oil was discovered in Homer; another strike followed that same year in Haynesville in northern Claiborne Parish near the Arkansas state line. The boom continued through the 1930s and brought many guests to the Hotel Claiborne, which opened in 1890.</p><br>
<h2>Military exhibits</h2><br>
<p>There is a small exhibit downstairs on the American Civil War with three Confederate flags on the wall. Particularly moving is a letter to a widow whose husband was killed on July 20, 1864, at the Battle of Atlanta in Georgia. Here is an excerpt:</p><br>
<p>He was shot through the neck cutting the large vein from which he died in a very few moments.... A Christian heart like yours will turn to the words of the blessed Savior.... Your husband died a true patriot and a good soldier. And angels have caught up his spirit and carried it to a land of rest where there is no war or troubles to molest.</p><br>
<p>A section upstairs honors military veterans of the 20th century, with two individuals cited for recognition: (1) Larry Sale, the Claiborne Parish sheriff from 1936 to 1944, was Louisiana&#39;s most decorated soldier of World War I. (2) David Wade (1911-1990), a native of the Holly Springs community between Homer and Minden, a lieutenant general in three wars, received more than a dozen medals. Wade served as state corrections officer during the 1960s in the administration of Governor John McKeithen. The Wade Correctional Center, a state prison between Homer and Haynesville, is named in his honor.</p><br>
<h2>Other exhibits</h2><br>
<p>The Ford Museum displays an early ballot box with attached explanation that voters until the 1890s orally stated their political choices at the polling place without the confidentiality of now required secret ballots. There is a framed copy of the 1935 centennial edition of the Shreveport Journal. Thought that defunct newspaper did not exist in 1835, the copy on display, created for 1935, is written with reference to Andrew Jackson serving as USA president a century earlier.</p><br>
<p>Among other artifacts on display is a pirogue or dugout canoe made of cypress logs used by Indians and white pioneers alike prior to the Civil War. There are replicas of irons and ironing boards, a water wheel, a bank, a railroad station, a judges office, a doctors office, the canning of foods, a general store with a collection of glass milk bottles, a gun rack, a carriage, a chapel, and even mounted African mammals.</p><br>
<p>Another exhibit is an early Claiborne Hotel guest room. A log cabin from the George Green homestead east of Haynesville is displayed with a combination bedroom and dining table. There are several 1930s-style radios, including a large Philco cabinet model 37-630, the kind by which some may have listened to President Franklin D. Roosevelt&#39;s fireside chats.</p><br>
<p>There is a model school classroom and information on Claiborne Parish Superintendent Forney C. Haley (1905-1982), whose service extended from 1945 to 1969. He was also a president of the Louisiana Superintendents Association. Haley began his educational career in 1931 in Junction City on the Arkansas border. There is a poster on the African American Reverend Roy Mayfield, who launched the former Homer Norman Institute in 1900. The former St. John School was later the first four-year high school for black pupils in Claiborne Parish.</p><br>
<p>Almost hidden is a poster on the frontier peace officer Pat Garrett, an Alabama native who was reared on a plantation near Haynesville before he left for Lincoln and Doña Ana counties in southeastern New Mexico. Known to history for having shot to death the bandit Billy the Kid, twenty-seven years later in 1908, Garrett himself fell to an assassin&#39;s bullet in Las Cruces, New Mexico.</p><br>
<p>Clothing designer Geoffrey Beene, a Haynesville native, became in 1963 the first American designer to launch his own company. His designs include the dress that Lynda Bird Johnson wore when in 1967 she wed future USA Senator Charles S. Robb of Virginia.</p><br>
<h2>Old-time virtues</h2><br>
<p>The museum stresses old-time virtues. A placard proclaims that "Self-Reliance was the key to survive in frontier times. Many early farmers became respectful blacksmiths and soon built out-of-door forges with removable bellows and worked outside whenever the weather permitted."</p><br>
<p>A placard at the sewing and quilting exhibit declares that a "Pioneer woman&#39;s experience found expression in the folk art of their quilts. Legacy quilts were passed from mother to child as a record of their family lives. The blocks told of fire and storms, of first loves and weddings, of childbirth and lost homes."</p><br>
<p>Admission to the Ford Museum is $3 for adults, $1 for children, and $5 maximum for a family. Hours are 9:30 to 12 and 1:30 to 4 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and by appointment.</p><br>
<p>The Burke–Berryman House, at 418 Cheney St. in Reno, Nevada, is a historic house with elements of Queen Anne and Colonial Revival architecture. It was built c.1909-10 as a rental house in the "Burke&#39;s Addition" area of Reno, developed by Charles H. Burke.</p><br>
<p>An early occupant was Samuel W. Goodale, a Chief Surveyor with the USA Survey Office, who lived there up to c.1917. It was sold to James J. Berryman in 1919 and he and his wife lived there from 1919 to 1934. It is one of relatively few houses of its era surviving in its neighborhood.

<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>The Benson Dillon Billinghurst House, at 729 Evans Ave. in Reno, Nevada, was built in 1910. It was a home of educator Benson Dillon Billinghurst, who was superintendent of schools of Washoe County during a long period, from 1908 until his death in 1935. He led innovations such as the introduction of junior high schools. That Nevadas schools were rated second in quality, nationwide, by a 1933 USA Department of Education study, was regarded as testament to Billinghursts leadership statewide. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<p>The house is a two-story bungalow-style house, with an interior having varnished, stained pine finishes. The house is significant for its association with educator Billinghurst.</p><br>
<p>The Ivinson Mansion, now the Laramie Plains Museum, was built in 1892 in Laramie, Wyoming by Jane and Edward Ivinson. Designed by architect Walter E. Ware of Salt Lake City and built by local contractor Frank Cook, the house was regarded as the most significant residence in Laramie at its completion. Edward Ivinson gave the mansion to the Episcopal Church, which used it as a boarding school until 1958. After years of neglect, the house was acquired by the Laramie Plains Museum Association in 1972 and is used as a museum and events center.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Ivinson Mansion is a Victorian-style house with 11,726 ft&sup2; of living space, with three floors and a basement. Its main level is built of stone, and the upper levels are of wood-frame construction. The front of the house is eight rooms wide, with lavishly detailed woodwork, tile and hardware. The left hand tower is square, with a steep pyramidal roof and a projecting rounded by, while the right turret is slightly smaller, octagonal in plan and surmounted by a curved bell-shaped roof. The central bay features a projecting one-story porch with Victorian detailing, with a curved bay above and a small, steep gable above the bay. The upper levels feature shingle style details, exemplified by the curved bays and rounded recessed window jambs. The rear of the house features a depressed roofline just above the second floor with partial dormers over the windows, which cut through the eaves. The hipped roof contrasts with the towered front elevation.</p><br>
<p>The property features a 2,647 ft&sup2; brick carriage house to the rear of the house. It was remodeled in 1921 for use as a school and renamed the Joslin Cottage. The Virginia Cottage, a nearby two-story stucco and frame building, built in 1924 and employing details from the house&#39;s rear wing shows some characteristics of the Prairie Style.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Edward Ivinson was born on September 20, 1830, on River Estate, St. Croix Island in the Danish West Indies, the son of an immigrant from England. Edward&#39;s parents provided for his formal education in England where he remained until he emigrated to the United States in about 1852, to work New York. In 1854 he met and married Jane Wood, a 13-year-old English immigrant. Shortly thereafter the Ivinsons moved to Evansville, Indiana, then to Peoria, Illinois, where Edward became a naturalized United States citizen and worked in the dry goods business. In Peoria they adopted a young girl -- Margaret Ellen Watson, the daughter of a critically ill tailor. They raised her as their own and she would be the only child that the couple would ever have. From there they moved on to Memphis, Tennessee, probably in 1862.</p><br>
<p>In 1867 the Ivinsons decided to move to California. Edward left first and by early 1868 had decided to temporarily do business in a place that would eventually become Laramie, Wyoming (at the time Dakota Territory). Jane and their eleven-year-old daughter Maggie arrived in Laramie on 10 May 1868. Ivinson sold general merchandise, rapidly expanding his business. He also extended his reach into banking when he bought the only bank in town. He soon sold the dry goods store and devoted most of the next 50 years to his various banking businesses.</p><br>
<p>Jane Ivinson helped established the local Episcopal Church and the citys first public school. Jane would remain influential in the local social scene for many years. She was also, however, engaged in the Ivinson banking business, being on the board of directors of Ivinsons Wyoming National Bank. Jane also owned several parcels of land in and near the city, much of which would eventually be conveyed to the Episcopal Church through the Ivinson&#39;s estate.</p><br>
<p>Maggie Ivinson married Galusha B. Grow on her 21st birthday in 1878. Galusha was from a prominent Pennsylvania family. He had moved west to experience life on the frontier probably due to the influence of his uncle Galusha A. Grow, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives. The Grows would eventually move to San Diego, California, where the Ivinsons had wintered on several occasions.</p><br>
<p>Edward and Jane sold their shares in the Wyoming National Bank in 1888. His next major banking move was to purchase Merchants National Bank in San Diego in 1893. Galusha ran the bank for him until his untimely death in 1903. Shortly thereafter, Ivinson sold the bank at great profit and reentered the banking business in Laramie, Wyoming when he purchased a large share in the First National Bank. He would remain part of that business until 1922 when he finally retired.</p><br>
<p>At the urging of Wyoming Republican party leaders, Edward mounted an unsuccessful run for governor of the newly created state of Wyoming in 1892. He was later elected mayor of Laramie in 1918, serving one term. Jane Ivinson died on November 9, 1915. Upon her death, Ivinson turned his attentions to philanthropy. Over the course of the next 10 years he would pay for the construction of a modern hospital in Laramie, fund the completion of the citys St. Matthews Cathedral, erect a monument to veterans of WW I and donate significant parcels of property to the Episcopal Church (most of which had originally been in his wifes name).</p><br>
<p>In 1921 Edward deeded the house and grounds of his palatial mansion to the Episcopal Church. The church used the estate as a boarding school for girls, adding the Virginia Cottage in 1924 and finally closing in 1958. He remarried in 1921 at the age of 90 to Augusta Haley, the 78-year-old widow of a deceased family friend and oft time business partner Ora Haley. The couple lived together for only a few months before they separated and eventually divorced.</p><br>
<p>Shortly before Ivinson&#39;s death, Ivinson created a trust funded by his entire remaining estate to build and maintain a home for elderly ladies. It had long been a dream of his first wife Jane to secure a place for ladies without means, where they could comfortably live their remaining years. Edward Ivinson died on April 9, 1928, at the age of 97 in his suite of rooms in the Brown Palace Hotel in Denver, Colorado. After his death, the trust constructed the facility which is still in operation today. The Ivinson Home for Ladies occupies its beautiful original structure in Laramie, Wyoming and still relies in part on the Ivinson trust for its operations.</p><br>
<p>The mansion Edward gave to the Episcopal Church was eventually abandoned when it became a burden on the churchs finances. It fell into ruin after the closure of the school, but was acquired by the Laramie Plains Museum Association in 1972. The restored house houses the museums collections and offices, and is used for events. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 3, 1972.</p><br>
<p>The Peleg Brown Ranch, at 12945 Old Virginia Rd. in Reno, Nevada, dates from 1864. Also known as the Louis Damonte Ranch, it includes Bungalow/craftsman and Greek Revival architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994; the listing included five contributing buildings on about 4 acre.</p><br>
<p>The original Brown/Damonte Ranch included about 620 acre at the north end of Steamboat Valley, in the southern Truckee Meadows, roughly bounded by South Virginia Street (USA Highway 395) and Old Virginia Road on the sides.</p><br>
<p>1857 pioneer rancher Peleg Brown, a Rhode Island native arrived in the Truckee Meadows with his brother, Joshua. The two brothers introduced alfalfa to the Truckee Meadows and built their home and ranch 150 years ago which still stands today.</p><br>
<p>The main house was built in 1864 and has Greek Revival architecture; it was renovated in 1940 and in 1955.</p><br>
<p>A play house, built around 1900, is a Craftsman-style 8 x bungalow.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant "for its association with the development of agriculture and irrigation in the Truckee Meadows in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries", including its serving the Comstock Lode mining area. It served as a stagecoach stop, too.</p><br>
<p>The Joseph Giraud House, at 442 Flint St. in Reno, Nevada, United States, is a historic house that was designed by prominent Nevada architect Frederick DeLongchamps and was built in 1914. Also known as the Hardy House, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant for its architecture and for its association with sheeprancher Joseph Giraud and businessman Roy Hardy.</p><br>
